They discussed changing this to 4 feet, but the Commission was split. The Council decided not to change the 6 foot sideyard setback for accessory buildings even though it may cause more variances.

The total estimated premium is $151,254. He stated the City has done a good job with worker's compensation and therefore is getting about a 21% credit on its experience rate. The League will continue to carry all the coverage except the Liquor Liability which is handled by CNA.

The City Attorney stated that it is being discussed in the insurance industry because the League of Minnesota Cities has taken the position that those groups are not covered unless a specific premium has been paid and a rider has been attached to the each City policy. Mr. Bennetsen stated that a joint ~owers is considered to have their own board, make their own decisions, they have their own ability to tax, and the ability to issue funding for whatever projects they determine worthwhile, therefore, the League feels joint powers should have their own insurance coverage to protect themselves and any member of their board. Mr. Bennetsen stated that in talking the Mound's staff, there are no joint powers agreements at this time. There was discussion as to whether the L.M.C.D. had their own insurance.

ADD-ONS 1.15 TEAL POINTE - TOM CASE¥ The City Manager reported that Mr. Casey has submitted a letter asking that the Park & Open Space Commission review the EAW for Teal Pointe and provide input. He reported that Mr. Casey presented this to the POSC and a motion to approve failed on a 3-2 vote. Therefore, he is asking that the Council allow the POSC to review the EAW. Mr. Casey stated that he had spoken to Lyndell Skoglund and she voted against this because she felt the Council should direct the POSC to review the EAW and provide comments. He felt that because Outlot B is wetlands it would be appropriate for the POSC to review the EAW. He stated he would not be a voting member of the POSC on February 23, 1993 this issue because he is representing the residents who would like to see Teal Pointe preserved as oPen'space. The Council stated they would welcome comments from the POSC on the EAW. They suggested that the POSC review the EAW after it is submitted and give their comments to the Council, not the City Planner. The Council discussed the timing of the EAW. The City Manager reported that the 60 day clock started on February 15, 1993, so the EAW should be completed by April 15, 1993. The Council asked that the Staff get of blank copy of the EAW form or the completed one that Minnetrista has on a dredging project before they decide to ask the POSC to review the Teal Pointe EAW. It was also suggested that the POSC look at the blank copy of the EAW. This will be discussed again at the next Council Meeting. The City Manager stated that the other item in Mr. Casey's letter is about the possibility of a referendum to purchase Teal Pointe and other properties. He stated that he has discussed the mechanics of a referendum with Mr. Casey. Thus Mr. Casey has prepared a sample petition for the Council's review and comment at the next Committee of the Whole Meeting. At that time Mr. Casey and others could come and discuss Teal Pointe and any other properties they would like to acquire for open space. The City Attorney stated that the law is as follows: 1. If the Council determines it wants to place a legal question or legitimate question on the ballot, it can hold a special election. If an election is held it would cost about $5,000. The question would be phrased something like, "Shall the City of Mound be authorized to issue General Obligation Bonds in X amount of dollars for the acquisition of park lands? or 2. If the Council determines it does not want to do that, the electorate can ask to have a question presented. That would require 20% of the people voting in the last general election, approximately 1000 to 1100 citizens on a petition. The citizens could state the question. The City could help Mr. Casey structure the question as it would appear on a ballot. These are the two choices, either the Council does it or the Council can let Mr. Casey do it. The Council discussed the 2 options. The Council stated that the impression they are getting from the general public is that they do not want to pay, through their taxes, for park land. The City Attorney stated that the City could work with Mr. Casey to phrase the question so that it would not end up in an argument if and when Mr. Casey comes up with 1100 signatures. 57 February 23, 1993 The Council asked if this petition would only be for the Teal Pointe parcel? Mr. Casey stated that is one of the things he would like to discuss with the Council at the Committee of the Whole Meeting. The Council stated they felt this should be discussed at a regular meeting, in a public forum. The Council expressed concern about the staff time costs of getting a petition ready for circulation. The Council also discussed what dollar amount would be put on the petition or in the question. The City Attorney stated that the citizens could put an amount in and if it were not enough to purchase the property, then it would not be purchased. But it would be the citizens responsibility to build in whatever numbers there are that would be sufficient to get the job done. The City Attorney stated it is not the City's petition, it is their petition. The Council stated they do not want an ambiguous question put on the petition. They would like to see a definitive question. No action was taken at this time. It was deferred to the next Council Meeting, limiting discussion at that time to a half hour. 1.16 DIBCUBBIONI~BOUT VFW ON-BALE LIOUOR VIOLATIO:~ The City Attorney stated that there has been a violation of the City's liquor laws by the VFW. A conviction has been achieved. The person plead guilty to serving liquor to a minor. The City Manager, City Attorney and Police Chief met with representatives of the VFW today to discuss revocation or suspension of their liquor license. There is a tentative agreement which requires the City Attorney to draw up a Stipulation. At the next Council Meeting, the Council will receive a Stipulation of Agreement which will indicate that the VFW will be closed for 5 days, from March 21, 1993 to March 25, 1993; they will pay a $500 fine to the City to assist in the City's prosecution costs; there will be a sign on the door indicating why the VFW is closed; and they have a program they will be doing with their employees to indicate the seriousness of selling to minors. They will also have a policy that will be presented at the next meeting. The City Attorney asked if there were any questions and if the Council agreed with the negotiated settlement? The Council agreed. No action taken at this time. This item will be on the March 9, 1993, Agenda. INFORMATION/MIBCELLANEOU~ A. LMCD Mailings. Be Letters from Triax Cablevision RE: - Sun Outages and door to door solicitation for cable service. Letter from Jan Haugen, former Mayor of Shorewood requesting support for appointment to MWCC.

T h e City Manager reported that last week he, the Mayor and Councilmember Ahrens met with the LMCD and the DNR about car/trailer parking spaces within 2,000 feet of Mound Bay Park. They figure there are about 110 possible car/trailer spaces, but it is down to about 98 because of some that are marked no parking. He reported that he has been asked to check on the feasibility of using the GTE lot. There is also a model agreement in the packet that each City is being asked to approve and sign off on with the LMCD indicating that there are these spaces out there and they are available for car/ trailer parking. They would like to have this agreement approved in about 60 days. The Manager will be contacting GTE about their possible 25 spaces. These spaces are included in the possible 98. It is important that the LMCD be able to demonstrate that there are 700 parking spaces around the lake for car/trailer parking so that we don't need to develop more spaces. No action was taken on this item. It will be brought back at a future meeting. Planning Commission Minutes - February 8, 1993.

I RESOLUTION #93- RESOLUTION TO APPROVE A VARIANCE RECOGNIZING AN EXISTING NONCONFORMING DWELLING TO ALLOW CONSTRUCTION OF A CONFORMING ADDITION AT 5125 DRUMMOND ROAD, LOTS 7 & 8, BLOCK 14, WHIPPLE, PID #25-117-24 12 0113, P&Z CASE NUMBER 93-002 WHEREAS, The applicant, Duane Beimert, has applied for a variance to recognize an existing nonconforming 7.9' front yard setback to the existing principal structure to allow construction of a conforming addition, and to allow replacement of approximately 3/4 of the existing foundation, and WHEREAS, The subject property is located within the R-2 Single Family Residential Zoning District which according to City Code requires a lot area of 6,000 square feet, a 20 foot front yard setback, 6 foot side yard setbacks for "Lots of record," and a 15 foot rear yard setback, and WHEREAS, The size of the existing dwelling is less than 840 square feet, and WHEREAS, All other setbacks and lot area are conforming, and WHEREAS, The Planning Commission has reviewed the request and recommended approval of the variance with the following Finding of Fact: The addition will increase the size of the substandard home, the addition meets all require setbacks, and there is practical difficulty. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the City Council of the City of Mound, Minnesota, as follows: The City does hereby approve a variance of 12.1 feet recognizing the existing nonconforming 7.9 foot front yard setback to allow construction of a conforming 22' x 28' addition and foundation replacement and repairs as necessary. The City Council authorizes the alterations set forth below, pursuant to Section 23.404, Subdivision (8) of the Zoning Code with the clear and express understanding that the use remains as a lawful, nonconforming use, subject to all of the provisions and restrictions of Section 23.404. Proposed Resolution Page 2 Case #93-002 It is determined that the livability of the residential property will be improved by the authorization of the following alteration to a nonconforming use of the property to afford the owners reasonable use of their land: Construction of a 22' x 28' addition consisting of a tuckunder garage with living space above and replacement or repairs to the foundation on the existing structure. This variance is granted for the following legally described property: Lots 7 and 8, Block 14, Whipple. This variance shall be recorded with the County Recorder or the Registrar of Titles in Hennepin County pursuant to Minnesota State Statute, Section 462.36, Subdivision (1). This shall be considered a restriction on how this property may be used. The property owner shall have the responsibility of filing this resolution with Hennepin County and paying all costs for such recording. A building permit for the subject construction shall not be issued until proof of recording has been filed with the City Clerk. I I I MINUTES OF A MEETING OF THE MOUND ADVISORY PLANNING COMMISSION FEBRUARY 22, 1993 CASg ~93-002= DUANE BEIMERTt 5125 DRUMMOND ROAD, LOTS BLOCK 14, WHIPPLE, PID ~25-117-24 12 VARIANCE · 7 & 8, 0113. Building official, Jon Sutherland, explained that this request was previously heard by the Planning Commission on January llth, and concern was expressed regard the impact of the addition towards the street. The Planning Commission tabled the request to allow the applicant the opportunity to consider alternate designs. The applicant's revised request consists of a 22' x 28' addition with a tuckunder garage and living space above along with repairs to the existing foundation. The request was clarified to include replacement of the foundation on three sides of the house, the foundation wall closest to Drummond Road will remain. Two courses of block will be added to the entire foundation to allow for the required ceiling height. The 22' x 28' addition will meet all required setbacks with a 20' +/- setback to the side property line and a 26'+/- setback to the front. Weiland suggested that if all the foundation walls but one are to be replaced, why not move the existing structure into a conforming location? It was noted that it would be a considerably larger expense to do this. Clapsaddle noted that the three dimensional plan submitted is not to scale and warned the applicant that this is not what the house will look like, that the elevations will be different. MOTION made by Mueller, seconded by Voss to recommend approval of the variance recognizing an existing nonconforming front yard setback of 7.9 feet to allow construction of a conforming 22' x 28' addition. Finding of Fact: Tho addition will increase tho size of the substandard home, the addition meets all required setbacks, and there is practical difficulty. Motion carried $ to 1. Those in favor were: Meyer, Michael, Clapsaddle, Mueller, and ross. Weiland opposed. Weiland stated that he opposed because he believes the house should be moved back, considering the amount of work they are doing to the existing house and foundation, and now is the time. ~ OF A MEETING OF THE MOUND ADVISORY PLANNING COMMISSION JANUARY 11, 199~' Building Official, Jon Sutherland, reviewed the applicant,s request for a front yard setback variance of 12 feet to the required 20 feet to construct an addition onto the existing nonconforming dwelling. The existing home is substandard in area and is in need of additional living space. Practical difficulty may be found in that it is reasonable to allow an addition onto this undersized dwelling and the only practical extension is to the west. The addition would also solve several other building code issues with this property, such as a hazardous fireplace, a more functional floor plan, and possible problems with the foundation at the rear of the house. ~[i~ff°d~~l~a~x~ftsthfn ~ning Com~.ission finds that a his case, staff would recommend approval of the request and further that t approval contain lan-ua~e ~^ -, .... he.recommendation for 24' conformin, d-+--~-~__~v azzu~, zuture construction of 24' = ~u~u ~arage without another variance request,x The applicant addressed the Commission and stated that he would prefer not to extend the addition towards the rear because he wants to save yard space for their kids and for the future garage. He explained that the foundation wall at the rear of part of the southeast side is -~ ........ the house and FzanneG ~O De replaced as it is decaying. He stated that to move the house back and redo the foundation would cost almost double. The estimated cost of the project as stated on the variance application form is $23,000 which is a bid price he received from a contractor, however, it does not include sheetrocking or other finishing as he will do this himself. The Planning Commissioners discussed the staff recommendation regarding variance approval for future construction of a conforming detached garage and did not agree with this because a 24' x 24' garage may exceed hardcover requirements for the property, and it was also discussed that a tuckunder garage may be a better plan for the property. It was agreed that the existing house is in tough shape and the Planning Commission is in favor of seeing the house improved, however, they think there may be a better plan. Mueller commented that he does not believe the proposed addition will negatively impact the neighborhood. It was noted that this house is one of only a few on a dead end street. Clapsaddle suggested that the proposed addition be setback 14 more feet and that it include a tuckunder garage as this would eliminate any concern relating to hardcover and would still leave back yard space. The applicants agreed that they will consider the suggestion. The Planning Commission suggested that the applicant work with the Building Official on a revised plan. MOTION made by Weiland, seconded by Michael to table the request until the applicant returns with a revised plan. Notion carried unanimously.

The applicant could expand towards the rear, but has stated this would eliminate the poSsibility of a functional rear yard. It is difficult to determine hardship in this case, however, practical difficulty may be found in that it is reasonable to allow an addition onto this undersized dwelling and the only practical extension is to the west. The addition would also solve several other building code issues with this property. Staff Report 5125 Drummond Road Page 2 RECOMMENDATION If the Planning Commission finds that a practical difficulty exists in this case, staff would recommend approval of the request and further that the recommendation for approval contain language to allow future construction of a 24' x 24' conforming detached garage as shown without another variance request. This case will be heard by the Planning Commission on January 11, 1993, and by the City Council on January 26, 1993.

DD TO: City Council and Staff FROM: Mark Koegler, City Planner DATE: February 25, 1993 SUBJECT: Environmental Assessment Worksheet (EAW) Process This memorandum is being provided as general background information on the EAW process and specifically, how it applies to the Teal Pointe project. On February 9, 1993, the City Council required that an EAW be prepared for Teal Pointe as a condition of preliminary approvals. Therefore, the City of Mound is now the Responsible Governmental Unit (RGU) for the preparation of the EAW. Preparation of the EAW is governed by the Minnesota Environmental Quality Board's Environmental Review Program which is found in Minnesota Rules 4410.0200 to 4410.7800. The following is a summary of the EAW process: Definition: The EAW is defined by state statute to be "a brief document which is designed to set out the basic facts necessary to determine whether an EIS is required for a proposed action.' As such, the EAW is not an approval process. The information contained within an EAW serves one of two purposes: (1) it is used to assess the need for an EIS or (2) it indicates generally how a development project can be modified to lessen environmental impacts. Information used to reach one of these conclusions comes from three sources: (1) the EAW itself, (2) comments received on the EAW, and/or (3) responses made to comments received on the EAW. The EAW is usually the most important source of this information. EAW Process: The attached exhibit (Exhibit 1) identifies the time line and components of the EAW process. Essentially, it involves four primary steps: The proposer of the project (Teal Pointe Development Co.) supplies data necessary for the completion of the EAW to the RGU (City of Mound). 2. The City of Mound (RGU) prepares the EAW. 3. 30 day comment period. Land Use/Environmental · Planning / Design '3CIO Metro Boulevard Suite 525 · Minneapolis, M~nnesota 55439 ' i6l 2) 835-9960 ' Fax: (612) 835-3160 I I EAW Memorandum February 25, 1993 Page Two The City of Mound responds to the comments received and makes a decision on the need for an EIS based on the EAW, comments received, and the responses to the comments. The City of Mound and other units of government may require modifications to the project to mitigate environmental impacts that were disclosed in the EAW process. How will the Teal Pointe EAW be assembled? According to the rules, Teal Pointe Development Co. is required to supply any reasonable data or information requested by the City of Mound. The City of Mound, however, is legally responsible for the accuracy and completeness of the information contained in the EAW. Therefore, the City decides what information should and should not be in the EAW. The City must attest that it has independently verified that the information contained in the EAW is accurate and complete. What decision does the City make and when does it occur? The City of Mound is required to make a decision on the need for an~ between 3 working days and 30 calendar days after the close of the 30 day comment per~o'~ If the City determines that information critical to the EIS decision is lacking, it may postpone the decision for an additional 30 days to allow time for the needed information to be assembled. The actual decision must be made in conformance with part 4410.1700 of the EQB rules. After the City (RGU) makes its decision, is there an appeal process? There is no administrative appeal process for an RGU's decision. The City's final ruling can be appealed in the District Court in Hennepin County. According to the rules, appeals must be filed within 30 days of the notice of the decision being published in the EQB Monitor. What does an EAW look like? Exhibit 2 is a blank copy of the current form used for an EAW. This is the form which will be completed for Teal Pointe. In order to provide you with some sense of the level of detail of the information requested on the form, Exhibit 3 is a copy of the EAW form that was completed for Pelican Point in 1984. Please note that the form itself has been updated since the Pelican Point EAW was completed.

I told him the Council was interested in learning more about the EAW process. I have asked him for a copy of the instruction sheet and a copy of the permit request. ! am sending each of you a copy of the EAW form. Please note that the form is being filled out by the City of Mound, and in this case Nell is working with Mark Koegler and is trying to provide as much of the information as possible to try to minimize his expenses. When it is completed, the City will submit the matter to the EQB and there will be a publication opening a 30 day comment period. I would think once it is completed by Mound and Mr. Weber it could be circulated to any commission that the Council wishes to review the matter. There will be plenty of time to obtain comments, and obviously people can reply to the EQM. Hopefully this will simplify the matter for the Council.

We had 4 watermain breaks. The bulk of our time was spent on meter repair and locate's. We did get some pumphouse maintenance completed also. I have been wanting to abandon Well #4 in Three Points for last few years, but the DNR has been using this to monitor water levels. Last month the DNR televised the well and I have received their report and video tape of the well's condition. In my discussions with the DNR they will not be using this well for testing any more. I will be meeting with Stevens Well Company to review the video and than decide what action will be taken. Sewer Department This month we had 1 forcemain break on Arbor Lane. Scott spent one week helping the Water Department with meter reading and 4 days working in the shop with equipment repair. Damon spent time working in the pumphouse's with the chemical equipment. Street Department This was a busy month for us. We plowed snow twice and just sanded twice. We mixed 100 tons of salt sand. I hope this will be the last mix for the winter. No parking signs and two stop signs were installed at Fairview Ln. and Maywood Rd. Additional sign work was also done. Road restriction will be in effect starting March 15, .1993. As in the past we will not issue any permits. We began tree trimming and chipping in Island Park. Shop We replaced bearings and repaired two sanders. The chipper required some repairs and blade sharpening. Unit #6 was sent out for rear spring repair. Unit #8 was sent to Gary's for a complete brake job. In the past the City has been leasing it's gas welding tanks from a Company called Genex in Minneapolis. We were paying $670.00 a year for the lease. I felt that this was out of line. We now have a lease program with Toll Welding in Wayzata. We now have a 6 year lease for $870.00. There is a few differences between the two lease programs as far as what you get for your money. But the bottom line is that we now have a lease that we a happy with and a cost saving of about $2,500 over the 6 years. I I CITY of MOUND March 3, 1993 TO: MAYOR, CITY COUNCIL AND CITY MANAGER FROM: JOEL KRUMM, LIQUOR OPERATIONS DIRECTOR ~,/( SUBJECT: FEBRUARY 1993 MONTHLY REPORT If I didn't have a calendar, I could still tell when February arrived because this is the time of the year when the beer distributors raise the prices of their goods. Just like clockwork. This time, however, it is only the major companies, (Miller, Anheuser-Bush and Stroh's) who are doing the major gouging. So far, the smaller players (Pabst and G. Heilman) are holding back. Probably, in an attempt to hold their spot in the market share. Our retail prices went up to our customers by about 25 cents a 12 pack and 50 cents a case. Now, if the beer wholesalers figures continue to decline, we may see them roll these prices back come spring. Speaking of beer, the State is getting very particular as to how municipals pay for their beer. Private liquor stores are all on a C.O.D. basis. Municipals have a 30 day grace period. In the past, our distributors would send us a statement after the first of the month for merchandise received the preceding month. Thus, some of our shipments were taking 45 days to get paid. For example; if we received beer on February 1st, the distributor wouldn't get out their statement to us until about March 7th. Then, depending upon when the Council met and approved bills, the beer distributor may not get paid for the beer they sent us February 1st until about the middle of March. Technically, we were in violation. Now we are under strict orders to make sure all invoices go no longer than 30 days. What this does is create extra work for Dee Schwalbe. She now pays by invoice and not be statement. There is one huge advantage for us in all of this confusion. Usually, (95% of the time) beer deals to us end at the end of the month. I always inventory enough of a certain package to carry us through a whole month. The purpose being so that we don't have to be raising and then lowering our prices all the time. This way our prices are always consistently low. This gives us an edge over our competitors who don't have the storage capability. In the past, if we ordered beer for example on February 28th, that beer was being paid for in "less" than 30 days, because we paid off a monthly statement. Now when I load in at the end of a given month, that particular invoice will not be paid until 30 days have elapsed. This is wonderful because our biggest beer bills are the ones that I order at the end of each month. I wish to thank Dee for her understanding, cooperation and patience on this matter. JK:ls ()[ ,\I( D&TE: TO: FROM: SUBJECTI MARCH 4, 1993 CITY MANAGER CITY CLERK FEBRUARY MONTHLY REPORT There were two regular Council Meetings in February.

The dock applications began to come back for renewal at a large number. The majority of site holders wait until the last day to send in their applications. As always, this is a time of the year where we get a lot of calls from realtors and people looking at properties abutting docking areas. Parks I have had confirmation from all of the 1992 seasonal staff that they will be returning in 1993. This always makes for a better start up for the summer season because the staff is already to go to work without orientation to the machines and property locations.

PLANNING AND ZONING The Zoning Code Modifications and Shoreland Management Ordinance have been approved by the City Council. City planner, Mark Koegler, is to prepare a summary ordinance for publication in "The Laker" and it will soon be in effect. Review of the proposed Truth in Housing Ordinance is continuing at the planning commission level and the proposed rental regulations are still being reviewed by the task force.

Slocum Woodland TO: MOUND CITY COUNCIL DATE: MARCH 1, 1993 FROM: TOM REESE, LMCD REPRESENTATIVE SUBJECT: FEBRUARY REPORT - LMCD 1.0 Euraslon Watermilfoil Task Force The enclosure size for the tests has been reduced from an acre to approximately 14 by 14 feet! The initial cost, installation and maintenance problems with acre size enclosures were insurmountable. The Technical sub committee and the DNR are standing f'u'm on the 1997 timetable. St Albans Bay may still be a test site for enclosures, but the chances are perhaps 50-50. The whole exotics program, I feel, has reached critical mass, and is out of our hands to control or effect. Perhaps I am overly pessimistic, but this is typical government at work. We'll just have to run our program as well as we can, and participate in the state program to the extent that we have funds and resources. What are your thoughts? 2.0 Lake Management Plan 2.1 Lake Access. This remains a highly emotional issue. Some groups could do a more statesman like job of defusing it, because it is going to happen, and who needs another Regional Park issue to separate the users into camps? Boat trailer parking agreements have been signed or are near with Wayzata, Mound, and Minnetrista 3.0 _Other General Items 3.1 An ordinance was passed that limits to two years the length of time that a multiple dock can be licensed but not built. An example of this is the so called Yacht Club next to the Water Patrol in Spring Park. They advertised occupancy for 1991. They are yet to get financing. The amenity requirements have changed since thc license was issued to the extent that the. facility could not be licensed today. There is a further question as to whether or not they will be the new HQ for the Upper Lake Yacht Club. 4.0 Mound Specific Items 4.1 In the Lake Management Plan, there is an intent to stagger the terms of the directors, so that all would not expire at the same time. The Admin Committe has set the staggered terms such that the Mound term runs January 1994-1996. Under the previous arrangement my term would have expired October 1994. I had planned to serve out that term. I am not sure ~T~~f ~R~at my intentions are now. Much depends upon what happens in the next °iths' Mound Representative - LMCD cc.

Saturday. February 13. 1993 Norwest Bank Building. Wayzata. Room 135 Members Present: Douglas Babcock. Chair. Spring Park: Bert Foster, Deephaven: James Grathwol. Excelsior: David Cochran. Greenwood: Scott Carlson. Minnetrista; Tom Penn. Tonka Bay: Robert Slocum, Woodland. The meeting was called to order by Chair Babcock at 7:30 AM. 1. First reading of draft ordinance prohibiting non-encased molded polystyrene foam in floating structures. The committee received a draft of the subject ordinance. Babcock submitted a letter from the City of Spring Park express- ing its objection to the sunset provision on pre-existing struc- tures being set at 12/31/94. except mooring buoys less than 2' in diameter which will be allowed to exist to 12/31/97. The Spring Park Council expressed the opinion that the proposed ordinance was showing favor to sailboat owners and their mooring buoys. Babcock explained that Spring Park believes the deadline for buoys should be same as the dock structures. He interpreted the committee action as based on the fact that there are so many buoys that time is needed to communicate the prohibition to the owners. Grathwol questioned the reasoning that the purpose was to favor sailors. Babcock responded that, while there is a logistical problem in notifying users, there is a perception of favoritism. He agreed the problem is disintegration of the po- lystyrene at docks and at the time of ordinance preparation the thought was that the buoys were not an immediate problem. The purpose was to eliminate the disintegration of non-encased po- lystyrene foam in an orderly manner. Foster added it is his belief the large buoys fields are using encased buoys and the extended deadline was aimed at the individual buoy user. MOTION: Babcock moved, Grathwol seconded, to amend the draft ordinance to bring both docks and buoys into the same time frame. DISCUSSION: In response to a question from Carlson regarding the number of buoys involved, Thibault will get the actual count for 1992 from the Water Patrol. Grathwol suggested a letter to Spring Park explaining that it was a matter of enforcement rather than an intent to favor any group of users. Carlson added that the letter should explain where the problem now exists, noting that the larger buoys fields are using encased polystyrene. VOTE: Babcock voted aye. Foster, Slocum. Carlson, Grathwol. Cochran and Penn voted nay. Motion failed. FURTHER DISCUSSION: Grathwol suggested eliminating ia) from Subd 13, a preamble in which the LMCD Board of Directors gives reasons for the adoption of the ordinance. He said it could be moved up to Section 1 and not put into the Code. - continued WATER STRUCTURES COMMITTEE February 13, 1993 MOTION: Cochran moved, Grathwol seconded, to amen(! the draft ordinance by moving (al Preamble. from Subd. 13 out of the Code section and the ordinance renumbered accordingly. VOTE: Motion carried unanimously. MOTION: Grathwol moved, Carlson seconded, to recommend approval o£ the first reading of An Ordinance Prohibiting the Use of Non- Encased Molded Expanded Bead Polystyrene Foam btaterial in Buoys and Floating Structures on Lake Minnetonka as amended. ' VOTE: Motion carried, Babcock voting nay. The executive director said a letter of explanation will be drafted to Sprin§ Park, the actual count of buoys on the lake will be obtained from the Water Patrol and the District Mooring Area licensees will be contacted to determine the type of buoy they are using. . 2. Second reading of draft ordinance amending Sect. 2.05, Subd. 8 Facilities with Special Density License/not constructed. The committee received an amended version of the ordinance relating to the effect on Special Density licenses of failure to construct licensed docks within a specified time. Fred Bruntjen, representing the Excelsior Park Tavern (EPTI and Skip Jewett and Les Rennet representing RDP Partners were present as the two affected licensees. Carlson asked for a clarification of what two year perio~l is being considered when setting the effective date as 11/30/q3. Babcock said by adopting the ordinance effective on 11/30/93 it gives the licensees this year to construct according to tile license if there has not been any construction for two years prior to the 11/30/93 date. Babcock ad(led there is a provision for partial construction with approval from the Board. Cochran asked if there is an existing dock. as in the case of EPT. could that be construed as partial construction. Penn responded that it would not make sense to allow the licensee to hold onto the old license. He said it is clear that the ordinance says it is violation if construction has not been started. Bruntjen said the EPT is doing its planning now but there is not enough time before 11/30/93 to follow all of the procedures required for reconstruction of the docks, including approval by the City of Excelsior. Carlson said it is important that if the multiple dock with a Special Density license has not been put in place the applicant should have to abide by any new rules for provision of amenities. ' ' The executive director said the staff would need guidance on what constitutes partial construction. Babcock said this is something that would have to be determined by the Board, possibly on a case by case basis when the application for the multiple dock license is received. The executive director suggested that all of the amenities should be in place to support the first par- rial construction. - continued WATER STRUCTURES COMMITTEE February 13, 1993 Foster wondered, if there are only two affected multiple docks involved, could they be exempt from construction by 11/30/93. Babcock noted that the amenities ordinance has changed since the original approval of RDP's Special Density license. Grathwol said the committee should figure out what has to be done to preserve the Special Density and multiple dock license granted but not installed without allowing an open end. Babcock suggest- ed changing enactment of the ordinance back to the present rather than 11/30/93 and changing the wording back to "any two year period commencing at any time after the effective date of this ordinance" That would give everyone a two year notice. MOTION: Grathwol moved, Babcock seconded, to recommend re-in- serting "commencing at any time after the effective date of this ordinance" and change the enactment date to be in effect upon approval by the Board and publication. VOTE: Motion carried unanimously. The EPT and RDP representatives indicated their acceptance. 3. Second reading of draft ordinance changing "3 feet" to "4 feet from the 929.4' OHW" amending Sect. 1.07 Subd. 3 Length Variances and Sect. 2.01, Subd. 2 a)authorized Dock Use Area. MOTION: Babcock moved, Carlson seconded, to recommend approval of An ordinance Amending LMCD Code of Ordinances Sect. 1.07, Subdivision 3: Relating to Length Variances for Docks on Lake Minnetonka and Section 2.01, Subdivision 2; Relating to Dock Use Areas, waiving the third reading. VOTE: Motion carried unanimously. 4. Multiple Dock Licenses: per staff reports A. Renewals without change, Village Certificates Received MOTION: Babcock moved.

VOTE: Motion carried unanimously. C. RDP Partners Special Density License, Spring Park Bay, Spring Park, review of Order conditions under which license was granted and present status The committee received a memo from Thibault regarding the renewal without change application from RDP Partners (RDP) for the 1993 season. The memo includes the conditions under which the Multiple Dock License and Special Density License Order were issued. Les Rennet, speaking for RDP Partners, said they continue working on funding for the construction of the building. The amenities required for the Special Density license depend on the building being in place, tle said there have been questions about the Upper Minnetonka Yacht Club (UMYC) continuing its association with the project. The UMYC made other arrangements until the building is completed, but the UMYC still intends to be a tenant, use the docks and have the sailing school there. Rennet agreed to remove a sign at the site indicating a 1991 construction datc. The executive director explained that the Order is very specific that the dock slips be made available only to members of the UMYC, the University of Minnesota sailing school and the Water Patrol. Slips are not available to tenants in the build- lng unless they are also members of the UMYC. The Order does not specify the type of boat to be docked. Grathwol was excused. WATER S'I'RI/CTURES COMMIT'I'i£E February 13, 1993 MOTION: Babcock moved, Cochran seconded, to recommend approva ! of tile RDP Partners Multiple Dock and Special Density License renewal, with no change. - VOTE: Motion carried unanimously. D. Forest Arms Improvement Association, Forest Lake, Orono In a memo dated 2/5/93 Thibault commented on the 10/26/92 request of Forest Arms Improvement Association (Forest Arms) for consideration of allowing the association to pay back license fees to regain slip sizes for five slips reduced from ~2' Ion~ to 24' long in 1987. This is a grandfathered license with non- conforming density. The licensed site plan shows 10 lake side slips, 5 - 32' long and 5 - 24' long, and 4 16' long inside slips. A 30' side setback is required. The current request is to move the 4 inside slips to the lake side. The proposed site plan submitted shows all 14 slips 11.5' x 32' long, with 15' side setbacks. Jim Lange, speaking for Forest Arms, explained the history of the multiple dock. Originally the agreement with the City of Orono was to allow 14 slips of equal size for the 14 members of the association. Over a period of time there were changes in the dock configuration, at the request of the association, when there was a size reduction due to the adoption of the WSU charges, lie said at no time did they think that the changes would affect their original understanding of the slip sizes. The committee viewed the current dock site plan showinz slips #11 - 14 along the walkway opening to the sides, the pro- posed site plan of 14 equal size slips all opening lakeward, and an aerial photo. Tom Theisen, Forest Arms. also showed a July. 1983 site plan which, according to Thibault, did not have LM£;P approval and was not part of its file. The committee and Forest Arms representatives discussed a number of arrangements, none of which were satisfactory to either party. The proposal to change Slips 11 - 14 to 32' long presents a problem to the LMCD in that their size was listed at 10' x 16' since 1987. Forest Arms contends the original, grandfathered agreement was for 14 equal sized slips. Babcock explained to the applicants that the records show this site was originally licensed for slips #1 - 10 at 12' x 32' However, slips #11 - 14 were never shown to be that size. The Code does not allow increasing slip sizes at a site with grandfa- thered density. Carlson suggested allowing the 4 slips to be changed from 10' x 16' to 8' x 20', which would be the same square footage. Babcock offered a compromise, based on the 12/2/83 site plan, changing the widths to meet the 30' side setbacks, for 10 slips 9.5 x 32' and 4 slips 9.5' x 21', with the dock to extend no further than 100' into the lake and a certified as-built survey to be furnished after the docks are rebuilt. Carlson agreed with Babcock's proposal. Theisen offered to compromise at 10 slips @ 9.5' x 32' and 4 @ 9.5 x 24' - continued WATER STRUCTURES COMMITTEE February 13, 1993 MOTION: Cochran moved, Carlson seconded, to table the discus- sion, without action, until a plan consistent with the committee suggestions offered can be agreed on, Forest Arms to work with the LMCD staff. A presentation may be made to the Board at the 2/24 meeting, if an acceptable plan is submitted in time. A slip size worksheet is to be included. VOTE: Motion c~trried unanimously. E. Lakeside Marina, Maxwell Bay, Orono; public notice advertis- ing unauthorized off-lake storage for in-out service The committee received a copy of an advertisement being distributed by Lakeside Marina, Inc. offering unlimited in-out launch and park service. Babcock commented that is an unaccept- able service at that location. The executive director said Lakeside Marina is not licensed for that type of off-lake storage. They advertised a similar service in 1992 but said they did not have any response. Because of the many boats at that location it is difficult to determine if this activity takes place. Foster would like to see the LMCD attorney obtain a re- straining order to stop this immediately. Babcock responded he would want the attorney to come back with a detail of what ordi- nances are being violated. Carlson suggested finding out how the City of Orono feels about this as they have jurisdiction over the land use. MOTION: Penn moved, Carlson seconded, to place the Lakeside Marina, Inc. advertising as an agenda item at the next Board meeting with staff putting together recommendations from the LMCD attorney and the City of Orono. working together, for a concept to stop this type of off lake storage. VOTE: Motion carried unanimously. 5. Unrestricted Watercraft Subcommittee - 2/4/93 meeting The committee reviewed the report of the Unrestricted Water- craft Subcommittee meeting of 2/4/93 along with a summary of slide storage at multiple dock licensed facilities. Babcock suggested eliminating the words "sailing and" in d) on page 2 under the committee recommendation for storage of unrestricted watercraft at commercial, multiple dock sites. The committee members were in agreement that there was no need to specify a type of boating school. MOTION: Babcock moved, Foster seconded, to approve the concept of the Unrestricted Watercraft Subcommittee report with the understanding this will lead to ordinance changes that will affect certain licenses for the 1994 season. VOTE: Motion carried unanimously. 6. Deicing Inspections Thib(tuit reported all of the deicing locations that are operating have been inspected. Most were in compliance after WA'i'ER STRUCTURES COMMITTEE February 13, Iqg3 the first inspection. Three locations required a third inspec- tion. Minnetonka Boat Works was deicing at the Orono site with- out a fence. They also did not have a fence at the launch area of the Wayzata site and were missing signs at both sites. North Shore Drive Marina's fence was down. Carlson suggested denying refund of the deposit if three inspections are needed. In addition, if the violation is a lack of fence or other serious violation there should be provision for a fine. Babcock asked staff to make recommendations as to the deposit refunds for these licenses. Penn was excused. Deb Breneman, North Shore Drive Marina, has raised the aues- tion of the environmental impact of "curtains" used for deicing installations. It has been suggested they deter the free move- ment of fish. Staff will ask the DNR Fisheries for its comments. 7. Carlson Real Estate Dredging Project; correspondence from City of Minnetrista - informational only The committee received a letter from Jay Blake, blinnetrista City Planner. dated 1/28/93, responding to the Board's concerns at the 1/27 meeting over the alteration of wetlands in the Carl- son development. The committee also received a copy of a letter from Minnetrista Mayor Carlson, dated 1/29/93, to Ceil Strauss. MnDNR Division of Waters, commenting on the dredging project the Carlson Real Estate Company. His letter included concerns to be considered during review of the dredging application, recov- nizing the need to reduce any negative impact on the natural environment and at the same time giving safety to the boaters within the channel. A compromise channel configuration was submitted with the letter. Both letters were for the committee's information. There was further discussion regarding the dredging of wetlands. Foster mentioned comments he received from Clarkson Lindley, ~innehaha Creek Watershed District, regarding the dredginv. Lindley feels the dredging of this channel for access to the lake should not be allowed as it will encourage similar areas, cut off from the lake by wetlands, to request the same access. Carlson spoke in defense of the dredging project. The City of Minnetris- ta would like to see this area developed. Carlson pointed out that Minnetrista has very restrictive development ordinances which will limit the scope of the project. 8. New Business A. Grays Bay Causeway The executive director distributed a news article announcin~ the MnDOT selection of a same bridge replacement only as the alternative for the Hwy. 101 Grays Bay Bridge Replacement Project. There was no action at this time. q32. WATER STRUCTURES COMMITTEE February 13, 1903 B. Lake Access Parking Agreement Carlson reported the City of ~tinnetrista has the lake access parking a~reement on its next meeting agenda. Foster wondered il' directors should attend city council meetines when these aeree- ments are being discussed with cities. The executive director recommended the Board member be in attendance at all city discus- sions relating to its Lake Access Agreements. Carlson said he has put together a letter to his city ex- plaining the background of the agreement. He expressed his willingness to help other members on their presentations. C. Technical Review Committee Babcock said the City of Spring Park has some reservations about the actions of the Technical Review Committee. The executive director reported that the Technical Review Committee has been very considerate of flexibility requests from the cities requesting them. Spring Park is probably experiencin~ questions on its flexibility needs which may call for some reduc- tion in what it prefers. In response to Babcock's suggestion that an existing proper- ty could not be redeveloped from an existing 100% hard cover, if it had to meet the new ordinance requirement of 30% hard cover, the executive director responded he believes the city is being provided flexibility above 30% but certainly less than 100% in the case of a major redevelopment. That would preserve property values and at the same time brine severely non-conformin~ proper- ties into some better level of helping to attain a move toward the desired new regulations. If there are specific concerns, the executive director would welcome working with the city and brine Consultant Steve Prestin into the discussion. In conjunction with hard cover variances, the executive director suggested this be part of a future committee a~enda, lie is seeing variances being granted already for redevelopment where the allowance to exceed hard cover requirements is questionable. He would like direction on how the district might proceed. Adjournment Babcock declared the meeting adjourned at 11:30 A~I. FOR THE COblMITTEE: Eugene Strommen.

Decibel Subcommittee Report - Plan Date and Arrangements for Decibel Testing Program Foster reported the Pollution Control Agency will handle the actual decibel testing. It was agreed there is a necessity to have a variety of boats including boats with straight pipes as well as fishing boats of various types. The executive director will contact the Minnetonka Power Squadron and Minnetonka Boats Works for the use of boats. The committee set Tuesday, May 25, 1993, 2 PM at the Water Patrol dock for the decibel test. 3. Special Events A.

Hennepin County 1993 Lakes Improvement Program The com- mittee received the following: 1) A plan for the location of the Quiet Water Area buoy placement at the North Seton channel: 2) A map of the Lake showing the 1993 "Slow" buoy placements. Denis Bailey, Hennepin County Lake Improvements, supplied the committee with a listing of the proposed Hennepin County services and projects for the Lake in 1993 at a proposed budget cost of $174,000. Grathwol observed that the slow buoys approved for Halsted Bay were not shown on the map. The executive director will let Bailey know of the need for them to be added. The executive director reported that Hennepin County has verbally advised it wilI eliminate ~he trash containers at the accesses on a one year trial basis as a result of LMCD Board action encouraging trash container removal. Instead signs will be placed at accesses asking public cooperation with proper trash disposal. - continued I I i LAKE USE AND RECREATION COMMITTEE February 22, 1993 This is in line with the motto "What you take to the Lake. take it back again." 5.

You voiced the same concerns that I have read in the League of Minnesota Cities' preliminary response to the Governor's budget proposal, the preliminary response being dated January 28, 1993, a copy of which is enclosed for your reference. 1) They say the proposal destroys the Local Government Trust Fund (LGTF) and the trust between the state and local governments. In actuality there are not any cuts in the Governor's proposal for LGA. Each city will be given the same amount of money in 1993 as they received last year for employee wages. The question of how the growth in the LGTF is to be allocated, has never been absolutely determined and continues to be the subject of legislative bickering. 2) The proposal does not address the underlying structural imbalance between state revenue growth and state spending growth. The problem with the salary freeze is that it is a short term answer to a long term problem. If the legislature passes Carlson's budget proposal, it is important that it starts working immediately to permanently solve the problem. Carlson is hoping the freeze will buy CORE time to help point the way to revamp and streamline our state's budget. It is interesting to note President Bill Clinton has announced plans to freeze federal employee wages to help balance the federal deficit. If this approach is good enough at the federal level there is no reason why Minnesota cannot do the same. 2710 Clare Lane, Mound, Minnesota 55364 State Office Budding, St Paul, Minnesota 55155 IR FAX (612) 296-3949 (612) 472-7664 (612) 296-9188 Page Two - Governor Carlson's proposal does not limit local governments from raising local public employee wages, if they choose to do so by raising property taxes. The Governor has assigned the decision making power to the local level. 3) The proposal does not provide adequate funding for LGA. The LGTF was set up to insulate cities from the unpredictability of revenue growth. LGA is not receiving any cuts it is just being frozen at last years level. Since nearly everyone in the budget process is being asked to scale back, the Governor feels it is only fair for local government to be affected also. The state of Minnesota has decided to deal with its budget problems not by raising taxes on its already over taxed economy but by cutting spending. I support this approach. 4) The cuts in aid to local governments will result in further property tax increases and service cuts. Local government has been given the opportunity to control more of how they spend and how much they raise taxes. Governor Carlson has a choice of whether to raise state taxes or cut spending and so should local units of government as well. Carlson realizes these choices may not be easy but in a time when President Bill Clinton is asking Americans everywhere to "sacrifice" and "share the pain", Governor Carlson does not feel he is asking too much by asking local governments to do as everyone else. Minnesota is not the only state asking public employees to share the pain of budget cuts. According to Carlson, "Eighteen other states report no pay raises for 1993." (Also fifteen states are laying off and eight states are cutting salaries not just freezing). 5) Public employees are expected to shoulder most of the burden of balancing the state's budget. The proposed budget, like any new proposal, has its good points and bad points. While the state has $1.3 billion in new revenue it is spending $769 million more than revenue raised, so the legislature is faced with deciding what to cut back on. In order to balance the budget, we either have to cut programs or freeze public salaries. At a time when many businesses such as Sears and Northwest are being forced to lay off employees and cut wages, the Governor feels it does not seem unreasonable to ask public employees to do their part to share the pain. The other option would likely force job layoffs and seriously debilitate Page Three - programs. Keep in mind the rationale behind this salary freeze. Minnesota government employment has grown twice as fast as U. S. government employment; twice as fast as total Minnesota employment; five times as fast as Minnesota population; and the disparity between public and private wages in 1990 MN government wage is $31,840 and private employment wages is $18,730. 6) Saving $600 million through a salary freeze is not realistic because the proposal does not include a suspension of PELRA, pay equity or any of the other tools government managers would need to actually freeze salaries. Local government has a variety of options available to them to handle contract agreements. If they wish to raise the salaries of their employees they can levy for the additional funds, or they can find alternative methods to fund any wage increases. The Governor is not mandating a pay freeze, he is saying however, that if local governments want to raise their employee salaries, and the result is a property tax increase, they will have to obtain voter approval for the increase. Failing to obtain voter approval, does not invalidate the contract, only the ability to levy a property tax increase to pay for it. During times when state funds are short there are always heated debates over where the limited resources are spent. I realize that if Governor Carlson's budget proposal passes in the Legislature, difficult decisions will have to be made within every governmental department, agency, and local unit of government, perhaps it's about time. I sympathize with those who will be affected by these decisions but we must all do this together. Thank you again for your letter. I didn't know if you had copied your letter to the Mayor and Council, but I'm sure these issues are on their minds as well. If you have any additional questions or comments regarding this or any other state matter please feel free to contact me. re/~A/~/ Since Ste~ Smith j State Representative League of Minnesota Cities 3490 Lexington Avenue North St. Paul, M'N 55126 (612) 490-5600 Preliminary Response to Governor's Budget Proposal Even though the Oovemor'~ budget proposal for the next biennium acknowledges the need for continued funding of LGA, HACA and other property tax relief programs, the League of Minnesota Cities is disappointed with many aspects of thc proposal.

This proposal does not address the underlyin_e structural imbalance between state revenue _erowth and state spending growth. The propoaal is a short term solution. The state must address the underlying structural problems in its budget before cities will be able to depend on property tax relief and other state aid as a leliable and stable source of revenue for local budgets. The proposal does not orovlde adequate funding for L~A.

It is unclear how publio employee wage restraint can solve the state's budget problem, without being unfair to many and causing layoffs for others, The proposal to save over $600 million through public employee wage restraint is unrealistic. January 28, 1993 CITY of MOUND 534~ MAYWOOD ROAD MOUND M'NNE$OTA5536a ,612) 472-0600 FAX ~612 4,"2-0620 February 9, 1993 Representative Steve Smith 311 State Office Building St. Paul, MN 55155 RE: Governor Arne Carlson's Budget Proposal Dear Steve: As you know, Governor Arne Carlson has given his budget proposal for the next biennium. The focal point of his proposal is a public employees salary freeze, that supposedly will save the state nearly $600,000,000. I think its obvious that city officials know that freezing salaries is unrealistic because of existing contracts, pay equity requirements enforced by the Governor's own administration, escalating health insurance costs and other factors. Governor Carlson has not offered any help or proposed any tools for government officials to actually implement a salary freeze. The only conclusion that one can reach is that Governor Carlson is not serious about freezing salaries. Rather, his proposal really means layoffs, cuts in services and property tax increases. The Governor's budget "breaks the trust". following: It includes the Service cuts, layoffs and property tax increases. Saving $600,000,000 through a salary freeze is not realistic because the proposal does not include a suspension of PELRA, pay equity or any of the other tools government managers would need to actually freeze salaries. Until the Governor's proposal includes those components, it is nothing more than another proposal for cuts in services, layoffs and property tax increases. It is unfair to the public to pretend that this money can be saved without serious cuts in services and cost to taxpayers. printed on rec~, c,'ed paper I ! I February 9, 1993 Page 2 Destruction of the Local Government Trust Fund (LGTF). Carlson has proposed taking nearly $52,000,000 from the LGTF to pay for other state spending. In fact, he has proposed that any money left in the trust fund should automatically be transferred to the state's general fund. Under this proposal the LGTF as a separate trust fund dedicated to property tax relief has no meaning. Cuts in LGA and HACA for 1993 once again break the trust with cities. Carlson has proposed cutting this year's LGA by $10 million from the amounts certified to cities. 1993 HACA to cities and counties would be cut by an additional $9 million. This proposal comes only one month after cities set their levies and budgets based on LGA amounts promised by the state. State revenues are expected to grow by over $1.3 billion. Why must the cities take a cut? Funding for LGA for 1994 is inadequate. LGA should grow along with revenues into the LGTF. Growth in LGA is essential to prevent property taxes from escalating faster than they have already. Although, we are pleased that the Governor has not proposed eliminating LGA, we are disappointed that he has frozen it at 1992 levels. With state revenues increasing, it is unfair to property taxpayers that city revenues should be frozen causing property taxes to increase. As you can see, Governor Carlson's proposal indicates further difficult times for cities to financially manage the level of services that they are currently providing. I would urge you to oppose Governor Carlson's proposal as the legislative session moves on. If you have any questions, please contact me. Edward J. Shukle, Jr. City Manager cc: Don Diddams, Sr. Legislative Representative, LMC Gino Businaro, Finance Director ES:ls P.S. I look forward to seeing you and Senator Olson at the February 23, 1993 City Council meeting. M/NUTES OF A MEETING OF THE MOUND ADVISORY PLANNING COMMISSION FEBRUARY 22, 1993 Those present were: Chair Bill Meyer, Commissioners Geoff Michael, Frank Weiland, Michael Mueller, Bill ross, and Jerry Clapsaddle, and Building Official Jon Sutherland, and Secretary Peggy James. Absent and excused were: Commissioners Mark Hanus and Brian Johnson, and City Council Representative Liz Jensen. The following people were also in attendance: Mrs. Duane Beimert. The Planning Commission Minutes of February 8, 1993 were presented for approval. A change was noted within the motion on page 6, Voss is shown as voting in favor of the motion, however, Voss was not present at the meeting. The Secretary was directed to change the minutes accordingly. NOTION made by Nueller, seconded by Clapsaddle to approve the Planning Commission Ninutes as amended. Motion carried unanimously. CASE ~93-002= DUANE BEIMERT, 5125 DRUMMOND ROAD, LOTS 7 & 8, BLOCK 14t WHIPPLEt PID ~25-117-24 12 0113. VARIANCE. Building Official, Jon Sutherland, explained that this request was previously heard by the Planning Commission on January llth, and concern was expressed regard the impact of the addition towards the street. The Planning Commission tabled the request to allow the applicant the opportunity to consider alternate designs. The applicant's revised request consists of a 22' x 28' addition with a tuckunder garage and living space above along with repairs to the existing foundation. The request was clarified to include replacement of the foundation on three sides of the house, the foundation wall closest to Drummond Road will remain. Two courses of block will be added to the entire foundation to allow for the required ceiling height. The 22' x 28' addition will meet all required setbacks with a 20' +/- setback to the side property line and a 26'+/- setback to the front. Weiland suggested that if all the foundation walls but one are to be replaced, why not move the existing structure into a conforming location? It was noted that it would be a considerably larger expense to do this. Clapsaddle noted that the three dimensional plan submitted is not to scale and warned the applicant that this is not what the house will look like, that the elevations will be different. Planning Couisslon Minutes February 22, 1993 MOTION made by Mueller, seconded by Voss to recommend approval of the variance recognizing an existing nonconforming front yard setback of 7.9 feet to allow construction of a conforming 22' x 28' addition. Finding of Facts The addition will increase the size of the substandard home, the addition meets all required setbacks, and there is practical difficulty. Motion carried 5 to 1. Those in favor were: Meyer, Michael, Clapsaddle, Mueller, and Voss. Weiland opposed. Weiland stated that he opposed because he believes the house should be moved back, considering the amount of work they are doing to the existing house and foundation, and now is the time. CASE ~93-033: JOHN & JANET PAGE, 1927 LAKESIDE LANE, LOT 10, BLOCK 11, SHAD~WOOD POINT, PID ~1S-117-23 23 0056. VARIANCE. Building Official, Jon Sutherland, explained to the Commission that this case will be heard by the City Council tomorrow night, the applicant has slightly modified his plan and it is required the Commission review this change. The Building Official placed the revised survey on the overhead and distributed copies to the Commissioners for discussion. He explained that the revised plan shows an addition at the lakeside of the house which measures 2.5' x 4.75' and involves only the second story. The Commission did not have any concerns relating to the small lakeside addition, however, Mueller noted that the survey reflects a garage 27.5' deep and noted that the Planning Commission recommended only a 24' deep garage. Also, the proposed entry addition appears to be larger than originally proposed. MOTION made by Weiland, seconded by Mueller, to recommended approval of the supplementary second floor addition measuring 2.$' x 4.75', as requested by the applicant. The Planning Commission re-states their original recommendation to allow construction of the second story addition, entry/breezeway addition (as originally proposed at 5.5' x 12.5'), and expansion of the existing garage. The garage shall be limited to 24 feet wide and 22 feet deep. It is also recommended that a new survey be submitted prior to building permit issuance. Motion carried unanimously. This case will be reviewed by the City Council on February 23 1993. , 2 Planning Commission Minutes February 22, 1993 TRUTH IN HOUSING REVIEW.

The Building Official is to check on the point of 06o Planning Commission Minutes February 22, 1993 law regarding overhead garage doors. Mueller commented that he knows a very qualified evaluator who has volunteered to review and comment on this proposed ordinance. At the next meeting the Planning Commission will review the Housing Disclosure Report form and review the changes made to the Housing Evaluator's Guide, and from there they will proceed with review of the zoning portion. MOTION made by Weiland, seconded by Michael, to adjourn the meeting at 10:45 p.m. Motion carried unanimously. Chair, Bill Meyer Attest: MINUTES - ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION - FEBRUARY 18, 1993 The meeting was called to order at 7 AM. Members present: Paul Meisel, Mark Brewer, Stan Drahos, Jerry Longpre, Sharon McMenamy Cook and Marj Friedrichs. Also present: Bruce Chamberlain, Gino Businaro and Ed Shukle. Upon motion by Brewer, seconded by Longpre and carried unanimously, the minutes of the January 21, 1993 regular meeting were approved. The Mound Visions project was discussed. The promotional packet has been distributed to the Economic Development Commission members for distribution to local businesses. It has also been distributed to area real estate companies, city staff, advisory commissions and the Mayor and City Council. Further discussion was held with regard to an appreciation reception for all of the participants of the Mound Visions program. It is scheduled for Monday, March 1, 1993, at 6 PM, at city hall. The purpose of the reception will be to formally thank all participants and have a brief update on the progress of the Mound Visions program. The Expression of Interest was discussed. The Expression of Interest is a document that will be sent to potential developers for possible interest in projects within the Mound Visions downtown program. Discussion focused on the contents of the Expression of Interest letter as well as the developers that will be receiving an Expression of Interest letter. It was moved by Brewer, seconded by Meisel and carried unanimously to have the Expression of Interest sent to several developers and not to just a selected few. Based upon the response of the developers, individual meetings will be set up to discuss possible projects. A target date of March 1st is being used to send out the letters with the response date of April 1st. Mark Brewer brought up the idea of working with the city of Minnetrista on its long rang comprehensive plan dealing with trails within the city of Minnetrista and connecting those trails to any trails that may be developed for the City of Mound. Brewer is planning to attend a park commission meeting in Minnetrista on February lSth, and was directed to "scout" Minnetrista's intentions. City Manager Ed Shukle brought up the Public Works outdoor storage issue as it pertains to Lost Lake. He indicated that the City Council had dropped the Anthony's Floral site from consideration due to federal wetlands laws as well as the inability to negotiate a purchase price with Mr. and Mrs. VanderSteeg. Ken Smith, councilmember had asked that this matter be given to the Economic Development Commission for the purposes of "brainstorming" their ideas as they relate to potential sites. It was moved by Brewer and seconded by Meisel to table this matter until the next meeting so that City staff could prepare some background information as to the sites that have been looked at for future storage of outdoor materials that are currently stored at Lost Lake. Minu~ - Economic Development Cco~nission - Parc 2 city Manager Ed Shukle updated the Commission on the Community Services building and the possibility of a warehouse grocery to be located at that site. The next meeting of the Commission will be held on Thursday, March 18, 1993, 7 AM, at city hall. Paul Meisel will be bringing the rolls. It was moved by Brewer, seconded by Meisel and carried unanimously to adjourn the meeting at 8:40 AM.
