board and we disagree with the value. There has been no change to
this property except that it has depreciated since, .-it was last
inspected and the market value is being increased some $5,000.00.

Smith. Also present: Mark Saliterman from Headliners Bar and Grill; Len Harrell,
Police Chief and Ed Shukie, City Manager.
Mark Saiiterman of Headliners Bar and Grill was present to discuss with the Council
compliance with Mound City Code Section 350:310, Subdivision 114, dealing with
compliance of the ratio between food and liquor under the definition of Class Ill
Restaurant. Currently, the establishment has an on sale liquor license and is also a
restaurant. City Manager Ed Shukle informed the Council that Mr. Saliterman had
contacted him earlier this year regarding his failure to meet the food to liquor ratio
requirement of the ordinance. After discussing this matter with staff, the city
manager suggested that Mr. Saliterman appear before the City Council at a Committee
of the Whole meeting to discuss the matter further. Saliterman discussed the changes
that have been made in the establishment since the change in managers took place.
He also described other possible changes that could be made to the center within the
next two to three years. The City Council thanked Mr. Saliterman for coming forward
and identifying this problem and directed the staff to study the ordinance regarding
the 50% food to liquor ratio. The liquor license will be coming due on or about June
1 st, and will be subiect to City Council approval at that time. Police Chief Len Harrell
indicated that since there has been a change in managers, there have not been many
incidents of any maior significance from a police standpoint at the restaurant.
The 1994 Commercial Insurance program with regard to options for deductibles was
briefly discussed. This matter was continued until the next COW meeting since
Councilmember Ken Smith was not present.
City Manager Ed Shukle provided an update on the Toro/Lynwood Blvd. noise issue.
He indicated that Welsh Companies, Toro, a representative from the neighbors on
Lynwood Blvd., and the City met three weeks ago to discuss wayS in which the
problem of noise during the early morning hours could be reduced and/or eliminated.
Toro reported at the meeting that several of the vehicles parked in the tot along
Lynwood Blvd., idling during the night, were trucks that either belonged to neighbors
in the area or independent truckers who may or may not Yfave work. ed for Toro. Welsh
indicated at the meeting that they would place "No Overnight PartYing" signs in the
area. Toro has also contacted these truckers to let them know that parking in the area
is not permitted. In addition, Welsh, upon suggestion by Jerry Kohis, representative
of the neighbors, is looking into possibly relocating vehicles and trailers from CR
Manufacturing lot area and moving the Toro trailers into what is now CR
Manufacturing parking. Welsh did not know how receptive CR Manufacturing would
be to this idea, but was going to pursue this approach. Toro has also notified~ its
employees that moving of the trailers from one end of the building to the other, around
6 am, should be delayed as long as possible, perhaps 6:30 am or later prior to the 7
am morning shift beginning. Mayor Johnson also indicated that with the addition of
April 1994 COW Miuntes, Page 2
the space that Toro is leasing, that this might reduce the number of trucks hauling into
the facility. This matter will continue to be monitored by city staff.
Pawn shop legislation was briefly discussed M
a brief discussion with a ,,~,,,, ..... L ayor Johnson indicated that he had
cow..~,,,,,um[~er from Robbinsdale while attending the National
League of Cities Conference in Washington, D.C. earlier this spring. This matter was
taken under advisement.
City Manager Ed Shukle provided a legal update on the House of Moy vs. City of
Mound and Flack vs. City of Mound.
Car/trailer parking was briefly discussed. This matter will be discussed further at the
regular city Council meeting of April 26, 1994. The City Manager indicated that the
neighbors had been notified of the meeting.

1.7 FINAL PLAT APPROVAL - TEAL POINTF.
Bruce Chamberlain, City Planner reviewed his report dated April 21, 1994. He stated that

report dated March 28, 1994, plus the conditions listed as follows:
The Developer shall secure and give copy to the City, a stormwater permit from
the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District prior to the City signing the final plat.
The Developer shall secure and give copy to the Building Official, all required
reviews and permits from the Minnesota Department of Health and the Minnesota
Pollution Control Agency prior to beginning construction. The Building Official will
not authorize construction until permits are secured.
Prior to the City signing the final plat, the Developer shall sign a Development
Contract drafted by the City Attorney. The Developer shall furnish to the City a
performance bond or an irrevocable letter of credit or other form of security
approved by the City Attorney in the amount of $127,500 (125% of estimated
construction costs) as per plans approved by the City Engineer.
The Developer shall furnish to the City Attorney all necessary information and
assistance to transfer Deed of Ownership of Outlot B and all other deeds
conveying property to the City. This transaction shall be completed prior to the
City signing the final plan and Development Contract and shall be filed at the

Outlet A shall be limited to use to a private street and utility extension of
Drummond Road to serve Lots 1, 2, and 3. Outlet A shall be equally conveyed
to Lots 1, 2, and 3 as an undivided interest and bound to those parcels in regard
to property tax record.
The City Manager reported that the Developer owes $2,934.10 to the Teal Pointe escrow
account as of March 31, 1994. The Staff suggested that payment of this outstanding
balance be condition #7 in the final plat approval. In addition, $1,000 should be
deposited to the escrow account for any further expenses.
The City Attorney stated that he has been in contact with Tom Casey and there are two
changes that need to be made in the Conservation Easement. They are as follows:
1. Grantor, for itself, its successors and assigns, declares and agrees that the
following prohibitions shall continue in perpetuity in the Easement Area:
a) Constructing, installing or maintaining anything made by man, includin~
_docks,.
f) The application of herbicides, pesticides, aRd insecticides and fertilizers.
The City Planner stated that to be in compliance with Section 330:120, Subd. 5, the park
dedication fee of $500 per lot would have to be paid prior to filing the final plat.
The Council discussed the proposed us of steel sheet pile retaining walls for
approximately 80 feet near the entry of the development, on either side of Windsor Road.
These walls would be painted a natural tone and portions of the walls will contain railings
and wood bumper guards. According to the Developer, due to the restrictive widths of
the existing Windsor Road right-of-way, sheet piling is the only feasible material to use
without encroaching into private property. The Developer believes the material is
architecturally pleasing and due to the longevity and stability of the product, that it is a
better solution than concrete or other materials.
MOTION made by Jessen, seconded by Johnson to direct staff to prepare a
resolution for the final plat of Teal Pein?. residential subdivision subject to
all conditions found in the City Engineer s report dated March 28, 1994, plus
the conditions listed above. The vote was unanimously in favor. Motion
carried.

1.13 DISCUSSION: LMCD AGREEMENT FOR CAR RAILER PARKING WITHIN
2000 FEET OF MOUND BAY PARK PUBLIC ACCESS.
The City Manager reported that a notice of this meeting and discussion was sent to the
residents of Beachwood Road.
The Council discussed the Draft Report of the 1992 Lake Minnetonka Lake Access Task
Force. The Council noted that in the Summary and Conclusions of this Task Force it
appears we could still get 60% of the Beachwood Road parking spaces credited toward
the 700 car trailer parking spots around Lake Minnetonka without having to put the
location on a map or signs at the Mound Bay Park boat launching area.
John Travis, 5805 Beachwood Road, spoke about the car/trailer parking on Beachwood
Road. He was neither for or against.
The Council decided to bring this item to the next COW Meeting in order to give the
Council time to review further the Draft Report. No action was taken.

The City Manager handed out an updated Joint and Cooperative Agreement between the
Cities of Mound and Minnetrista. He then pointed out that in the proposed resolution the
words conceptually in the title and the first 'Now, Therefore, Be it resolved' should be
deleted; items 2-4 should be deleted from the 'Be it further resolved'. An Operating

Minn~rista for their review and approval.

COMMUNITY SHELTER FOR VICTIMS OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE
Violence in our society is creating a sense of fear so strong citizens are
beginning to withdraw from assisting those in need. They believe if they
help they will be placed in harms way. This thought process is eating
away at our society like a cancer. If we choose to al/o~v this'~' curb our
judgment the'bully's of our society will one day be the decision makers.
Westonka Intervention has a dream. To provide a 'safe place for thOSe
who fall victim to domestic violence. Victims of domestic abuse need
"time out" from the violence. They need a safe place to think and a place
where their children can relax and be safe. Westonka Intervention has
searched long and hard to locate property for a shelter. The property has
been identified. A shelter, thanks to Our Lady of the Lake, is also
available to move onto the property.
I know this will not be an easy decision for you to make. Emotions may
run high. Your abilities to separate perception from the facts will be
challenged. We all know emotions may shield our ability to absorb the
facts of an issue and as a result cloud our judgment. I ask that you listen
to the facts. Inquire of Chief Harrell as to the potential impact to the
community, the type of incidents that may take place, and how often they
may occur based on other shelter experiences. Thence, your decision
will be founded on.. facts and. sound, reasonable information. With the
proper._management, I am confident you will find the shelter to be an asset
to the community, a good neighbor and a safe haven for victims of
domestic violence.'
SERVING WITH PRIDE, INTEGRITY AND EXCELLENCE TO PROVIDE QUALITY RESPONSIVE SERVICE.

Re: Public Hearing May 10,1994

RECEiVEO
3 199
Dear City Council Members:
We are concerned residents of Mound residing at 1747 Lafayette Ln.
(Just East of the proposed site for the domestic abuse center).
We have attended the two previous public hearings held by the Mound
City Planning Commission and have been vocal in our opposition to
the ~ocation o[ the domestic abuse center at t730 Commerce Blv~l.
Our neighbors.other concerned members of the community, and we have
researched and investigated many of the issues surrounding the ~ro-
posed move to this location and find it to be" out of character
for the area and certainly not in the best interes~ of the community.
We have already submitted much factual data to the Planning commission
and have voiced our strong opposition to the proposed relocation of
the building. We are sure you will be inundated with similar data at
the May lOth hearing supporting our viewpoint, but we wanted to state
our position since we will be out of town on that date. We have enclosed
a letter (also provided to the city planning commission on April 25th),
for your review, which was written by a very well respected psychologist
who has a private practice in the metro area. We showed him the proposed
location for the domestic abuse center and the surrounding neighborhood
~- and requested his professional opinion on this matter. He letter
addresses many of our concerns regarding the location of the domestic
abuse center.
We trust that you will consider the enclosed letter as well as our
concerns in making your ultimate determination. ~e appreciate your
time in reviewing our correspondence.
Sincerel~ -~

Alan Goodell-Holmes, Ph.D.
Licensed Psychologist
4820 Excelsior Blvd.
Suite 100
Minneapolis, MN 55416
TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:
I am writing this at the request of Jim and Kathryn Welbourn who
have asked me to forward my opinion concerning the establishment
of a domestic abuse shelter in their co~unity.
As a psychologist who has practiced fo
with many individuals who hav~ ~A_ :_~ ~9 ~ears, ~ have worked
· ' ~ ~ ~nvo±vea in relationships
characterized by victimization and perpetration. One of the
chief characteristics of such relationships is that the
victim/perpetrator pattern is not one which is easily or quickly
resolved. Simply housing the victim in a shelter does not solve
the problem. In the best of situations, the person going to the
shelter finds a safe haven and [hopefully] some information or
support which allows that person to begin to change the
victim/perpetrator pattern. In the worst of situations, the
person who has been victimized simply returns to the destructive
environment from which he or she had fled.
While, at best, the domestic abuse shelter is viewed as being a
temporary haven, it is generally assumed that the person who has
been victimized will have no contact with his or her perpetrator
while housed within such a shelter. Unfortunately, this is not
always the case. Perpetrators are generally both extremely
insecure and extremely tenacious. Their fear of being alone and
their need to control those they depend upon leads to great
ingenuity and to great potential for further violence.
Perpetrators often find the location of the various shelters in
the communities and are able to locate their spouses or
significant others even when in the supposed safety of these
shelters. This risk is only heightened when the location of the
shelter is in a residential area and when it is easily viewed by
even a casual passer-by.
Given the risk inherent in what I have outlined above, the
proposed location of the shelter in question is about as bad as
could be imagined. It is in a very public area, easily located
by perpetrators. It is also in a residential area bordering a
lake. The presence of the lake is bound to attract the residents
of the shelter, drawing potential contact between victim and
perpetrator away from the shelter itself and into the residential
community.
Given that those residing within such a shelter have already
experienced violence, the probability of further violence is
multiplied. To increase the potential that such violence will
occur in or around a shelter by placing that shelter in an easily
identified location and to increase the risk that such violence
will impact others by placing the shelter in a residential
community seems inappropriate and irresponsible- While it is
obviously important that the availability of shelters be
increased, it is equally important that community safety be
considered in their placement. It is my hope that the request
before the city will be denied and that a more appropriate
location will be found for the shelter under consideration.
Sincerely,
Licensed Psychologist
MINUTES OF A MEETING OF THE
MOUND ADVISORY PLANNING COMMISSION

0025. ZONING ORDINANCE AMENDMENT. CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT. AND MOVING BUILDINg',
PERMIT: CONTINUED PUBLIC HEARING:
Chair Michael reviewed the procedures to be followed for the public hearing.
City Planner, Mark Koegler, reminded the Planning Commission that they are faced with making
recommendations on potentially three items:
m
Zoning Amendment. This amendment would add this type of shelter to the list of uses
allowed by conditional use permit in the B-2 zone. Koegler emphasized that the zoning
amendment has to be approved prior to approval of the conditional use permit.
Conditional Use Permit. This give the City the opportunity to place conditions on the approval
of the operation of the shelter.
3. Moving of Building Permit. Koegler noted that the Public Hearing notice for the May 10, 1994
City Council meeting has been modified to include the option of moving the building within the
Our Lady of the Lake Property at 2385 Commerce Blvd. This would allow the church to be
temporarily stored on the church property until a location is ultimately chosen.
Koegler reviewed a supplemental staff report. The original staff report was presented at the Planning
Commission meeting on April 11, 1994. Koegler proceeded to provide a brief overview of all the
areas in Mound currently containing the B-2 zoning. Any zoning amendment modifying the B-2
provisions would apply to each of these areas.
Koegler reviewed a memo submitted by Chief Len Harrell giving a summary of calls a local shelters.
Koegler explained that the numbers in this memo do not mean a lot as every police department
collects and categorizes information differently, and it is hard to define what the service calls are.
These calls included fire alarm calls, residential burglar alarms - and the records do not indicate if they
were false alarms, people locking themselves out of their cars, neighborhood disputes, unwanted
person was listed as one in the City of Minnetonka in 1993, miscellaneous public assistance, etc.

II I a .......
planning Commission Minutes
Chair Michael opened the public headng.
Dan Hessburg, applicant and representative for the Westonka Intervention Project, presented to the
Commission a rendering drawn by his architect showing the building as it could look with some very
simple modifications, including shutters, windows, etc. He also presented a conceptual landscape
plan. Mr. Hessburg c~arified that they figure it wilt cost $105,000 to implement operation of the
facility at this location. He emphasized that a building on this site with a permitted use could be
constructed right up to the southern property line. He confirmed that the building was constructed
in the 30's and that it is a sound structure. He believes this building could look very nice on this
property if it is done right. The Buitding Officiat commented that he conducted a superficial inspection
of the convent buitding, and commented that it is sound in structure, however, his inspection did not
include code comptiance issues and noted that the services of an architect should be obtained to
review it for code analysis, state accessibility analysis, and an ADA analysis.
Hessburg reviewed the operation of the shelter and explained that the victims have policies and
procedures they are required to follow during their stay. He confirmed that people from other
communities could be staying at this shelter. Hessburg confirmed that Westonka Intervention will
intervene, when the need arises. Westonka Intervention is currently working with the Cities of
Mound, Minnetrista, St. Bonifacious, Orono, and Spring Park; they will probably expand into Long
Lake and Maple Plain. In five years, he expects that this shelter will also be turning people away.
Chair Michael referred to a packet information which the Planning Commission members received at
their homes, the packet is from Westonka Intervention Project dated April, 1994. This packet
answers many of the questions from that arose at the previous Planning Commission meeting.
Hessburg noted that they have packets available for anybody who wants one.
Dan Hessburg read a letter to the Commission dated April 25, 1994 to Mayor Skip Johnson from
Karen J. Anderson, Mayor for the City of Minnetonka encouraging Mound to support the efforts of
Westonka Intervention to open a women's shelter.
The following persons spoke in opposition of the request: Jim Welbourn, Deb Kramer, Sue Schebler,
Linda Swailes, Sandy Berkey, Joanne and Bernie Boeser, Richard Garozzo, Craig Goodrich, and Lyle
Fuller.
Reasons and concerns expressed from those opposing the application included:
Not good use for an entrance to Mound
Concern that aesthetics of property will not be maintained
. Salt box type of structure not characteristic of area
. Location not good for anonymity.
Library and three schools nearby, therefore lots of children traveling in the area by bike and
by foot. There is concern for children's safety, and concern for the privacy of the victims.
. Security for the neighbors is a concern.
Concern about affect shelter will have on surrounding property values.
. Location not right for shelter and the victims it will house because area children will be
tempted to put there noses where they do not belong. A secluded area is needed.
There have been less problems at the Plymouth shelter because of its prime location, it is more
secluded.
. The application submitted is not valid due to lack of information and plans.
Planning Commission Minutes
.April 2.$, 1994
Concern about condition of contaminated soil; PCA will allow them to build at their own risk,
there is not guarantee that they will release the property within a year.
It was questioned if Fina donated the property for a tax write-off. No For Sale signs have
been posted on the property.
Comparisons were made to other shelters. It was noted that the shelter in Minnetonka is not
maintained, and the neighbors are unhappy with the shelter and are tired of fighting with the
City Hall on the issue.
Information submitted by those who opposed to the request included:
A letter from a PHD Licensed Psychologist was read by Jim Welbourn. The letter indicated
that perpetrators often find the location of where their victims are being held, and emphasized
that the proposed location of the shelter is not good. (A copy of this letter was not received
by staff.)
Minnetonka Police Department report dated 8/20/90 involving juveniles throwing rocks at a
residence near the Sojourner Shelter.
Minnetonka Police Department Incident Summaries of Sojourner Shelter.
- Plymouth Police Department CFS Summaries relating to the Home Free shelter.
Police Activity report relating to the Lewis House was submitted by Joanne Boeser.
In addition to the applicant, Dan Hessburg, those who spoke in favor of the application included:
Mary Wiebusch, Jackie Meyer, Father Mike Tegeder, and Linda Karkula.
Reasons given for supporting the shelter included:
The security problems may be reduced due to the visibility of the property.
There is a need for a shelter in this area.
The neighbors fears come only from the unknown.
Information submitted by those who support the request included:
Letter from Mary Monteon, Program Director for Home Free dated 4-25-94.
- Letter from Linda Karkula.
Three letters were received prior to the meeting and handed out to the Commissioners. These
letters were in support of the shelter, and were from: W.E.L.C.A. of St. Johns in support, Ann
Miller, in support, Letter dated April 25, 1994 to Mayor Skip Johnson from Karen J. Anderson,

TO: Mound Planning Commission and Staff
FROM: Mark Koesler' City Planner
DATE: April 20, 1994
SUKIECT: Westonka Intervention Project
The Staff report that was presented at the Planning Commission meeting on April 11, 1994,
referenced the fact that any change to the B-2 District would apply to all properties in the B-2
District, not just the proposed site of the domestic abuse victims shelter. Therefore, it may be
helpful to provide a brief overview of all of the areas in Mound currently containing B-2
zoning.
The Mound Zoning Code and map establish three areas in the community which are classified
as B-2, General Business. The purpose of this zone is to "allow local retail sa/es and services
along with office space opportun/fies to serve local population demand and needs of non-
highway orientation. This district will encourage compact centers for retail sales and services
by grouping businesses in patterns of workable relationships, by limiting and controlling uses
near residential areas and by excluding highway oriented business that tends to disrupt the
shopping center or its circulation patterns."
The three areas in Mound presently zoned B-2 are shown on the accompanying maps. They
are generally described as, 1) along both sides of Commerce Boulevard at the northern city
limit, 2) on the east side of Mound along County Road 15, adjacent to the Spring Park
border, and 3) in the southeastern portion of the community adjacent to the intersection of
Tuxedo Boulevard and Wilshire Boulevard. Any zoning amendment modifying the B-2
provisions would apply to each of these areas.

To whom it may concern,
I hope this information will be useful in helping you make your
decision regarding a battered womens shelter in Mound.
Home Free has been in existence since 1980. We are part of a
corporation consisting of four other programs. In recent meetings
with people in the community we found that the neighbors had no
concerns with the shelter.
The shelter provides room and board for the women and children
and is licensed by Hennepin County. ~e have ten bedrooms and
house approximafleY thirty women and children at one time. The
average length of stay for a family is eighteen day's. Families stay
anywhere from a couple of days to-a couple of months, depending on
theiz situation. We have a womens and a childrens program, during
then stay both women and children are expected to follow our house
policies. I have enclosed copies of these policies. Women are free to
come and go and children are supervised at all times either by their
mothers or by a childrens advocate.
The children are enrolled in our school district and are picked up at
our driveway by school buses. We'do ongoing education with the
schools for both teachers and students.
I have been employed at the shelter since it opened and we have
never had a violent episode with an abuser on our property. There
has been a few times when a womens partner came to the door
looking for her but left as soon as he was told to do so. If a women is
afraid that her abuser is looking for her we notify the Plymouth
police and they patrol the area.
We have a security system with 'horns on the outside of the house
and that also goes through a monitoring service that notifys the
police. Th[re are alarms on all doors and the first floor windows.
The system is turned on at night when everyone is in. We also have
alarm buttons throughtout the house in case of a breakin. We have
never had to use them.

There are no regulations as to the number of cars permitted on the
property at any time. During a busy time there may be about fifteen
cars. The shelter has two cars of its own.
Orders for Protection are not violated while the woman is staying at
the shelter but before she comes to the shelter. That is why she
needs to be in a safe place.
There are approximatley twentyseven people on staff here. We
consist of a womens progra~m, a childrens program, community
programs, and administrative staff. A degree is not a requirement of
employment at Home Free. All staff are required to' attend a number
of trainings throughout the year. The staff are not counselors but are
advocates. A large percentage of the sfaff are formerly battered
women and some are former residents of the shelter.
Home Free houses approximately 500 women and-children each year.
We are turning away three quarters of women calling in need of
saftey because we are full.
I totally support a shelter in Mound. Please give the idea of a shelter
your careful consideration, ff you have any further questions I can
bc reached at 559-9008.

Inc., a Minnesota State Corporation with 501C tax exempt status and
operated under the authority of it's Board of Directors. Should
Westonka Intervention Project, Inc. discontinue the use of this structure
as a shelter, the assets of the corporation, including the building, would
be sold and profits will be donated to another community based non-

PERSONAL SAFETY
We have a perfect tr_ack record.~t, hpl..ac, lng victims in safe homes in
Mound becau.s.e we have ve.r.y strlctpo_ucms. These policies and
procedures will continue w~th our shelter.
NOTES FROM A TELEPHONE CONVERSATION WITH LOUISE
SALESKI - DIRECTOR OF THE BRAINERD SHELTER:
Perpetrato.rs are not dangerous to anyone but their victim
(wife/girlfrmnd).
There has never been an injury to a staff person at any shelter in
Minnesota by a batterer.
It is a cross misdemeanor to be on the shelter property and perpetrators
know t~ey will go to jail if they trespass.
They know there are alarm systems and they stay away.
' Saleski didn't see how there could be any dang.e.r to neigh, bors. If
aLn°;~l~g, the neighborhoods are safer due t.o more po-hce surveillance.

PROPERTY VALUES
With due consideration of what may be allowed in the existing B2 Zone,
residents should realize that a shelter with aesthetically pleasing
residential characteristics, along with professional landscaping, would
be much more desirable than the possibility ora commercial eyesore.

ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERNS
Before consideration of this property, extensive research was conducted
to satisfy all concerns regarding environmental issues.
Environmental issues have been addressed in the purchase agreement.
If this property cannot be given a "clean bill of health" by all necessary
regulatory agencies, the property will not be purchased.
Mr. Andrew Severson, Engineer for the Minnehaha Watershed District
has been advised of the proposed use of this property He has informed
us that no permit ~qll be necessary from their department.
The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency has been made aware of the
proposed use of this site and their position is that this site can be used
without any negative environmental impact.

Dear
We are sencf~§ this letter in support of the old convent house to be placed across from PD.Q.
We understand some concerns for safety but according to the facts many women and cl~ldren
are not safe in their own home. We need to reach out to those in need for us to be a
concerned community. We need to go that extra rnqe and be brave to help others.
One thinks of all the people who were hidden and saved during the Nazi era. If far~Tes in
con-aTt~ties had not taken that chance many more lives would have been lost. But as we kno~Tt~.s

RE: Shelter for victims of domestic violence
Dear Planning Committee:
I strongly oppose the proposal in front of the City of Mound to use the property
located at the intersection of Three Points and Commerce Boulevard as a shelter for
domestic violence. Although I understand the need for a shelter in the western suburbs
my concern lies with the safety of our neighborhood.
Having been a victim of domestic violence, I am too familiar with the fact that the
majority of people involved in abusing others have no respect or fear of the law or
innocent bystanders when trying to "punish" their so called loved ones. With the amount
of traffic that area holds, some violence is bound to occur which could lead to possible
harm to citizens.
I ask the Planning Committee to keep our community safe and the Westonka
Intervention Center to find a more suitable location.
Very truly yours,
Sandra J. Laskey

iIUILDING PERMIT; PUBLIC HEARIN{3.
City Planner, Mark Koegler, reviewed his report relating to this application. The Westonka
Intervention I~oject is proposing to acquire the F'~a gas station site at the corner of Commerce
Blvd. and Three Points Blvd. They intend to move the convent building now located at Our
Lake of the Lake Church to the old gas station site and remodel the structure es · shelter for
victims of domestic abuse. This shelter would generally serve the Lake Minnetonka Area.
The shelter will have a capacity of 15 (victims and children) and a staff component of 3 to 5,
depending on need. The purpose of the shelter is to supply short term housing for victims of
domestic abuse. When a domestic abuse situation occurs, the police department cells a
volunteer advocate associated with the Westonka Intervention Project. The advocate
transports the victim and family members to the shelter where they typically remain for 12 to
48 hours. After that time, most victims return to their own homes. It is expected that the
shelter will typically operate et 70 to 75 percent of capacity.
The Rna gas station site is located in the B-1 zone which does not allow the proposed use.
Correspondingly, the applicant is seeking e zoning ordinance amendment to allow the use by
conditional use permit. The application also seeks approval of the conditional use permit as
well as a permit to move the structure, Therefore, in order for the structure to be moved to
the proposed site and operated as e shelter, three separate approvals ere required. These
approvals include the following:
Zoning Amendmerg. In order for the proposed shelter to be moved and operated et the
proposed location · zoning amendment will be required. The applicant seeks to modify the
Zoning Code by adding "Community Residential Facilities" es a conditional use in the B-1 zone.
This use is currently allowed by CUP in the R-3 zone. By definition, community residential
facilities are uses that ere licensed by the State. Accordingly, State Statutes contain
provisions accommodating such uses within multiple family areas. Provisions in the Statute
supersede local zoning controls. In this case, however, since the facility is not licensed,
Statute provisions do not apply. As a result, Mound is not compelled to approve the request
based on a higher authority.
Since the proposed shelter is not a community residential facility, it can only be relocated if
the City is willing to modify the current zoning of the property to accommodate the proposed
use in some manner. One method would be to specifically add "Domestic Abuse Victim
Shelters" to the list of allowable uses by issuance of a conditional use permit. This would
allow the use providing a conditional use permit could be obtained.
Conditional Use Permit. The second component of the Westonka Intervention Project's
application is the issuance of a conditional use permit. Obviously, this cannot occur without
a modification of the current Zoning Code. Approval of a Conditional Use Permit for the
shelter is subject to the criteria that is contained in Section 350:525 of the Mound Zoning
Code.
Movinq of Buildinas Permit. Section 330:25 of the Mound City Code requires a permit for any
building that is to be moved. The ordinance requires that the structure be improved to meet
all current building, plumbing, heating, and electrical code requirements. The ordinance also
requires that the building to be relocated be "of the same general character and appearance
as other buildings or structures in the vicinity'. Relocation of the Our Lady of the Lake
Convent building and its remodeling es a shelter will require issuance of a Moving of Buildings
Permit consistent with the code requirements.

Planning Commission Minut~
Al~ril 11, 1994
Koegler further commented on the zoning change, displacement of potential business,
environmental concerns, building compatibility, the site plan, and land use
compatibility/security measures.
RECOMMENDATION
Despite the fact that this case involves three separate approvals, the decision essentially
becomes one of, "Is the proposed shelter (including the building) an appropriate use of the Fina
Property?" If the answer to this question is no, further review of the issues is not required.
If the Planning Commission is inclined to answer yes to this questions, a number of issues
need to be addressed.
If the proposed shelter is deemed to be an acceptable use of the Fina property, staff has
concerns about specific details of the project. The main focus of the concern involves the
appearance of the building. Issuance of a building moving permit requires a finding that the
structure is consistent with the character of the surrounding area. Since the surrounding
properties contain a mixture of land uses including commercial structures as well as single and
multi-family residential buildings, character is somewhat subjective and difficult to define. In
the opinion of staff, however, the plain facade of the building is a significant issue and in its
present form, the building would not enhance the general appearance in the area.
Relocation of the building will require a number of improvements to comply with applicable
codes. These improvements will principally impact the interior, rather than the exterior of the
building. It is possible that these improvements will require the services of a registered
architect to address code compliance issues. An architect may be able to suggest exterior
modifications that would improve the appearance of the structure. Such modifications
combined with appropriate landscaping could significantly improve the appearance of the
existing building.
The decision that must ultimately be reached by the Planning Commission needs to focus on
the land use compatibility, zoning development and aesthetic issues that the project raises.
As a result, two primary options are available. They are:
The Planning Commission could determine that the proposed use is inappropriate in the
commercial zone and/or it is incompatible with surrounding land uses and deny the
request to modify the current Zoning Code. Findings of fact would need to accompany
such an action.
The Planning Commission could determine that the proposed use is appropriate on the
Fina site and could approve the rezoning, conditional use permit and building moving
permit subject to specific conditions that could be identified. If this action is favored,
the Planning Commission will need to identify issues that need to be addressed as part
of an approval action. Utilizing the Commission's list of issues, staff can prepare a
supplementary report, either to be brought back to the Planning Commission at a
subsequent meeting to be taken directly to the City Council for their consideration.
The report could contain written conditions that cover each of the identified topics.
Suggested issues include, but are not limited to:

Submittal of a grading, drainage and utility plan

Submittal of security plans and additional operational information about the
shelter
Mueller clarified that another public hearing will be held by the City Council. Time line for
approval was discussed. The Building Official commented that he has discussed with the
Church the possibility of temporarily moving the convent building onto the parking lot on the
church building which would still require a moving building permit and a public hearing, or a
variance to Section 300 of the City Code.
Regarding the site being "safe" according to the Pollution Control Agency (PCA), Koegler
noted that eventually they will issue a letter to clear the site of contaminates, and this is not
likely to happen this summer. Koegler asked the PCA if there is any reason why the City
should not issue a building permit for some type of building activity on this property, and they
answered "no".
Mueller questioned if the height of the building has been confirmed to meet the code
requirements.
Voss commented, as a person in the law enforcement occupation, that there is definitely a
need for this type of a shelter in this area. He emphasized for all the people present at the
meeting, that if this proposal fails, it should fail on the zoning aspects and the compatibility
of the use of this land, not for the concerns of security. He did some informal research and
contacted Inspector Morris of the Minneapolis Police Department and in charge of Domestic
Abuse Division, and he stated there has never been a report of any abusers coming to any
shelters; Carol Arthur with Domestic Intervention and she said this is no a concern and has
never been a concern; Mary Monteon(?) of Home Free and stated this was not a concern there
also. It does not appear there is a problem with the abuser coming into the neighborhood or
into an area where the victims are held. He suggested that staff do some more research in
this area to come up with more statistics that could calm the fears of the citizenry. He does
not feel that this is a proper use for this land, or believe it is compatible, but he does not want
to see this issue fail due to security concerns. The shelter is needed, however, maybe it
should not be located there.
Koegler commented that Voss' comments echo the conversations he had with the Hopkins
and Minnetonka's Police Departments. He believes that records from other cities could be
made available at the request of Chief Harrell.
Jensen questioned if the building would also be required to meet ADA codes. Koegler believed
these codes would apply.
Jensen questioned if the applicant's are aware of the tax implications.

Chair Michael opened the public hearing.
Dan Hessburg, representative for the Westonka Intervention Project, came forward and
addressed the City Planner's Report. He clarified that a victim is not taken to the shelter while
the assailant is on the loose. The victim is never taken from the site of the incident unless
there is an arrest made. So the victim is then transported by an advocate to the shelter. The
victims remain in the shelter until a restraining order is obtained, which is typically overnight.
When the conditions at home are considered safe, the victim is then returned by an advocate.
The assailants do come from our community and from our neighborhoods and he would
assume it is just as safe on the streets.
In reference to staff's recommendation, Hessburg commented on the following:
Expansion of the proposed parking area: At the time of application they were
undecided relating to this issue, at any given time there will only be 3 to 5
employees/cars. There is plenty of room for adequate parking.
preparation of a landscaping plan: He apologized for not having a plan due to the
proposed location being changed at the last minute. They will develop complete plans
as needed if the application is approved by the Planning Commission.
preparations of a plan for improvement of the exterior of the building; this could include
required participation by a registered architect: They have at their service a registered
architect, Dan Brewer, who will work with the City to make the building suitable for
that location.
Submittal of an updated survey drawing: Mark Gronberg, will upon approval, do an
updated survey.
Submittal of a grading, drainage and utility plan: Will be prepared.
Compliance with MPCA requirements: From his last conversation with Fina Oil, the
wells are to be monitored through the end of the year. To-date the test reports have
been more than satisfactory. A copy of the reports are on their way from Fina at this
time.
Submittal of security plans and additional operational information about the shelter:
The organization has been operating as a volunteer group for the last ten years in
Mound, and it will be taken over by a professional staff, and most likely as a satellite
to one of the existing shelters. The security will be whatever the other existing
shelters are presently using. He has never seen bars on any other shelters. He has
checked with other shelters and he has not found any incidents over the last ten years
of any problems with the operation of the shelters.
Questions oosed to Dan Hessbur0 by the Commission
Q: Are there funds available to improve the exterior appearance of the building, including
landscaping? A: $40,000has already been donated, and more donations coming. The shelter
has already received approval from the Minnesota Department of Corrections and the
Department of Human Services for on-going funding of a budget that is in excess of $300,00.
Pl~n~ ~mm~Lon kl'~
At~I 11, 1994
O: Are there three stories? A: The height of the structure is about 30 feet, and when it is on
the new foundation will only be about 28 feet in height. The third story is only attic area and
there is no intention of completing it at this time. Dan Brewer, Architect, confirmed the
convent building height will be conforming.
Q: What other sites have you looked at in the area, and why did you choose this site? A:
They looked at approximately 20 sites around the community and they talked to people in the
areas being considered. There was an opposition for people to have it right in the middle of
a standard residential area. There was one site strongly considered in a residential area,
however, the moving company said it was impossible to move it there due to site conditions.
Both the Chief of Police of Mound and Minnetrista believe this site to be easily accessible, it
is open and exposed. This site only abuts a residential zone on one side, and with the
property design and modification of the exterior, this building should fit the area well. Their
plan is to buffer the house from Three Points, the residence to the rear and the residence to
the south. The road access is to be off of County Road 110.
PubliC Comments
Harlpn Pvoman, 1781 Jones Lane, recognizes the need for the facility, but he
questions the location. Concerned about safety of the small children staying at
the shelter and crossing busy Three Points Blvd. to get to the PDQ. Questioned
if there would be a limitation on what this facility could be used for, can you
restrict that it be used only by victims of domestic abuse? what will prevent
this facility from being used for the housing of sexual deviants or drug
offenders?
Koegler confirmed that without further permits being obtained by the City, this property can
only be used for a shelter for victims of domestic abuse.
Steve Bprkev, 1768 Lafayette Lane, President of Driftwood Shores
H0m~Qwners Association which is located just east of the proposed site. The
Association members are concerned about security and increase in traffic. Their
Association has an outlet consisting of boat slips and an island picnic area
connected to the shore by a dock which is accessible from Lafayette Lane.
They are opposed to any facility that will jeopardize the security of the
neighborhood.
Kathrvn Welboarn. 1747 Lafayette Lane, posed some questions to Mr.
Hessburg, as follows:
Q: Is this a State licensed facility? A: No. For the last 10 years the shelter has
been operated by volunteers, it has been their goal to eventually have a
professionally operated shelter. This shelter will be staffed by professionals.
Q: Define professional, are these people licensed? A: The professionals are
college accredited individuals with backgrounds in the field; State certified
social workers
14
P~ann~ng ~o~niss~on M~ua~ /~pril 1~, 19~4
Q: Who makes the rules? A: Rules are set out by the Minnesota Department
of Corrections and the Minnesota Department of Human Services. The shelter
will meet their criteria if professionally staffed.
C. Welboarn explained that she has worked for MCC Behavioral Care for about
10 years now, and from the mental health problems she has worked with in her
position, she can say that there are clinical reports confirming there has been
a number of issues where the perpetrators show up at the places to get at the
victims. Also, through an unproffesional survey by her with three
psychologists, and through clinical reports, the security issue has been a
problem. From the administrative side of this issue, she says there has been
security and safety problems. Most centers are located in obscure areas and
there is a reason for this because of safety problems and because you want to
protect the victim. The gateway on the north side to Mound is not the best
location.
Lvle Fuller. Secretary of Port Harrison Townhome Association. has concerns
relating to the zoning amendment, conditional use permit, and who is going to
own the building after the responsibility is transferred, this needs to be clarified.
He commented on Mr. Hessburg's statement regarding the funding they have
available, and he understands the fiscal situation of budgets and questions what
would happen to this facility and project if the funding goes away. He
questioned if this is a tax-exempt corporation, he feels the City would be remiss
if this property came off the tax roles. ADA requirements could raise hidden
costs that could become an issue. He would also like to see a traffic study and
he questioned if the Fire Marshal has looked at the ingress and egress on this
property. Also, Hennepin County should look at the ingress and egress as this
is no longer a Fina Station. He would also like to see information on
watershed/water retention on this site. Environmental issues relating to the
contaminated soil should be pursued. The removal of the contaminated soil
was not done in 1990, it was done in the last 6 to 9 months. His neighbors
have said that at times they get a fuel oil smell up into their basement probably
through back-up and percolation through the soil. Also, across from their
property there is a creek that many times has fuel oil glossiness on top flowing
into the lake. He recommends more research before this project is allowed to
be moved forward. He is in favor of denial of this application as outlined in
staff's recommendation, Option #1.
Steve Coleman of 5545 Three Points Blvd., which is the adjacent single family
dwelling located east of the proposed site. He expressed a concern about the
fencing or buffering to be proposed and wants to know how it is going to fit
into the neighborhood.
Richard Garozzo. 1772 Lafayette Lane, expressed the following concerns:
Number of people to be housed could result in 2 to 3 trips daily.
Location too close to an elementary school.
Concerned about appearance of building on the site, could give
prison.

City Planner, Mark Koegler, reviewed the actions required by the Planning Commission. First
the Zoning Amendment must be acted upon, second the Conditional Use Permit needs to be
reviewed, this is the portion of the request where the City can require certain landscaping,
parking requirements, etc., and last the Moving Building Permit where the Commission needs
to determine if the appearance of the building is consistent with the character of the area.
A public hearing is scheduled for this item at the City Council meeting tomorrow, May 10,
1994.
Chair Michael opened the public hearing.
Those who spoke in fev0r were:
~ spoke in favor of the request, and read letters from persons supporting
the proposed shelter: 1) Susan Neis, Executive Director for Cornerstone Safe House, 2)
Patrick McFarland, Executive Director for Anoka County Community Action Program, Inc., 3)
Dan Cain, Executive Director for Eden Programs, 4) W.E.L.C.A., 5) Valerie Hessburg, and 6)
EIwyn Tinklenberg, Mayor, City of Blaine. He believes this shelter would be an asset to the
Community, and asked that the Commission come to some sort of decision this evening.
Hessburg also submitted a petition supporting the shelter which his sophomore daughter
collected signatures from 250 high school students.
~, District Court Judge in Hennepin Cou~_.t.y.~ addressed the concerns of
the neighborhood, and stated that she contacted Chief ~ of the Minneapolis Police
Department and asked about the consequences of the Harriet Tubman Shelter being located
in a neighborhood. Harriet Tubman shelter has had only 2 calls in the last 5 years, and the
neighborhood has organized groups that help support the shelter. Minneapolis is in the
process of developing a new facility which will be 100% public as they see this as an asset.
She stressed the great need for more shelters. She submitted a letter from Diana S. Eagon,
Family Court Referee stating the need for safe housing for victims.
Chair Michael questioned the conditions of release for an abuser, and the Judge stated that
a 36 hour hold without bail is standard, and if there has been an assault they are held with a
bail set at $1200.

K n_K_K~, 5028 Shoreline Drive, Mound. She has been a victim of domestic
abuse, and was housed at Harriet Tubman, however, wishes there was a shelter in the
Westonka area. She has helped house other friends and acquaintances who are victims, and
there is no place in the westonks area to go to. Harriet Tubman is usually full, and there is
no place to go. If we do not have a shelter in Mound, we are saying that it is okay to abuse
your spouse and kids.
Grea Sicheneder, resident of Minnetrista, works for Family & Children's Services, he
reviewed a handout entitled "Help for Children from Violent Homes" and reviewed some
characteristics of violence in the home. He stated that the shelter is essential.
F~tD_.~, who resides in a neighboring community and professionally, is a Fund
Raiser, is in support of the shelter. He helped raise donations for eight other shelters. He
stressed that this proposed shelter will serve the westonka area, not just the City of Mound.
l~O9_Y,_J.~.[, a crises advocate for ten years stressed the need for a shelter in this area.
She also stated that she talked with the director of the Sojourner Shelter about the rumors of
garbage on the property, and the director informed her that they have been renovating the
building and the garbage consists only of sheetrock and other building supplies.
Csthv Richardson, resident of Buffalo is an advocate for battered woman and is in favor
of the request. She stressed the need for the shelter and commented that parking will not be
a problem, and if a hotel is used for the safe house, safety at a hotel is not good and support
groups are not available.
Rose McGlinskv, has lived at 1951 Lakeside Lane for 27-1/2 years, they have seven
children that range in age from 13 to 28 and she is in favor of the shelter. The people of
Mound should be a part of the solution. She expounded upon the existing dangers within the
Three Points area, and stated that there is always a need to watch your children. She
supports the location of the shelter, because it is not isolated, Three Points is a dead-end, and
the access is good for the police. She suggested that the neighbors help support the shelter,
and they can help make the building a showplace, it should not be compared to other shelters.
If Mound wants this shelter to work, it can be really nice. Let Mound be a model.
~, a member of the Westonka Intervention Project, spoke in favor of the
request. She likes the proposed locations, and stated there will always be people who won't
want the shelter in their neighborhood.

Rich0rd Garozzo, 1772 Lafayette Lane. Richard stressed the fact that the information
provided by Westonka Intervention at the last meeting is just hear-say and is not factual data.
Richard handed out to the Planning Commission documents reflecting a study completed by
himself using numbers supplied by Westonka Intervention. The study related to occupancy
and the need for a shelter in this area. His conclusion was that there is not a need for a
shelter in the Mound area, and that the number of domestic abuse cases in Mound does not
warrant a shelter, using the hotel is functional.
SUe $chebler, 1759 Lafayette Lane, distributed photographs to the Planning
Commission for viewing. The photos were taken by herself of Sojourner's shelter to show the
poor condition of the building and the piles of garbage being stored on the site. She also
distributed to staff statements from neighbors regarding the injuriousness and infringement of
enjoyment to the neighborhood properties, and a stack of police reports to verify the
infringements. She expressed many concerns regarding the ability to maintain the property,
including financial concerns. She questioned if Westonka Intervention is in compliance with
all reporting requirements of the Attorney Generals Office, and noted there is a requirement
to register contributions exceeding $25,000. A letter written by Brian Schebler was read to
the Commission, the letter expressed opposition to the request. The photographs were
returned to Sue.
Lvle Fuller, 1762 Commerce Blvd., provided a letter from Forsythe Appraisals, Inc,.,
Charles L. Novak, which states that the shelter will negatively impact the market value by 1
to 5 percent, and lengthen marketing times. Mr. Fuller requested that Westonka Intervention
be asked to withdraw this request.
Crai¢l Goodrich, 1776 Lafayette Lane, is opposed to the request and feels there are
other better locations for the shelter and that Westonka Intervention could have done more
research to find a better location.
Thomas Williams, 5551 Three Points Blvd., the northwest corner of his property abuts
the proposed site, and he is opposed to the request. He would like to ensure that the actions
of this shelter will not infringe on the neighbors. He is concerned about affect on the value
of homes. He is President of the Harrison Townhome Association and they are opposed.
Steve Berkev, 1768 Lafayette Lane, opposes to the proposed location. His family is
a member of the Driftwood Shores Homeowners Association, and they are opposed to the
request and do not believe the proposed use fits the City's plan for this property. Does this
facility warrant a change in plans for the goals of the City? He is also concerned about safety
in the neighborhood and traffic.

The Commission discussed the aspects of the case, and some of there comments are as
follows.
Clapsaddle commented that he shares a number of concerns and he would like to see
more information addressing them. The house has potential and could be made to look
really nice.
Mueller commented that this B-2 area is the best of the three B-2 zoned properties for
a shelter site.
Bird commented that she sees this is a very sensitive issue and she is not sure how she
will vote.
Weiland can understand everyone concerns, and if this request is moved forward, he
stressed that everyone work together to make the Conditional Use Permit effective.
Jensen suggested that if the Zoning Amendment is voted down, the Conditional Use
Permit application still be discussed in case the City Council votes differently, to
determine what conditions should be implemented. She would not be opposed to have
this shelter in her neighborhood. She suggested the language for the zoning
amendment be changed to read "Shelter for victims of Domestic Abuse."
ross is in favor of the request, and he does not feel the public needs to be concerned
about safety.
Hanus has some reservations about changing the B-2 zoning uses as all the B-2 zones
abut residential zones.
Michael lives 6 blocks from the proposed site and he feels the fears expressed by the
neighbors are unfounded. He is in favor of the zoning amendment. He recalled that
he was expressly opposed to the Tonka Alano which is located on Three Points Blvd.,
however, this use has proven his fears wrong.
Koegler confirmed that the State License does not apply in this case and the Zoning Ordinance
defines a Community Residential Shelter to be state licensed facilities, therefore, the use
should be specified as a Domestic Abuse Shelter.
MOTION made by Voss, seconded by Mueller, to recommend to the City

Dear Mayor $ohnson:
I am writing this letter on behalf of the proposed battered women's shelter being considered in
your community. The City of Blaine has been host to a similar facility for the past thirteen years.
I want to assure you, and the record will clearly indicate, that the facility has been a very
important and very beneficial part of the community. Issues which are so often cited in
opposition to such a facility have not proven to be the case.
We have a very close working relationship between the facility administration and our City
police department. They work very. closely on issues of prevention and intervention. As
evidence of the positive relationship between the facility and the City over the course of the last
two years, Blaine has assisted our battered women's shelter in the development ora new and
expanded facility. It is truly tragic that such shelters are necessary in our society-. But it is
important to remember that they serve as a vital safety net for people in our own community who
often have no where else to turn.
Please f~l fr~e to cite the example of Bla/ne in support of these kind of community-based
facililies. I would be happy to act as a reference or in any other supportive way that I can on
their behalf.
Sincerely
l~lwyn Tinldenberg
Mayor

The number of occupants seems to be high, too many people in
e small area, too dense.
More investigation is needed, and he feels the application is being
pushed through too fast.
Hossburg stated that they have been searching for a location for about nine months.
Mueller questioned what would be a good location of the site. The land located next to the
SuperAmerica was suggested.
MOTION made by Mueller, seconded by Weiland, for the Planning Commission
to vary from their Work Rules and allow the meeting to continue until 11:30
p.m. Motion carried unanimously.
Geor_~e Guise, 1635 County Road 110, questioned how many residents present
were in favor of the request. The show of hands indicated that 95%( +/-) were
not in favor of the proposal.
Bripn Schebler, 1759 Lafayette Lane, is opposed to the structure for aesthetic
reasons, he does not feel it fits well with the area.
~;ue Schebler, 1759 Lafayette Lane, is also opposed due to security concerns,
and the character of the house.
Bernie and JoAnn Boeser, 1735 Lafayette Lane stated that they did not receive
a notice, and they are concerned about what will happen to their property
value.
Craio Goodrich. 1776 Lpfpyette Lane, had lunch today with a police sergeant,
who told him to expect late night deliveries, and traffic in the middle of the
night. He is concerned about the resale of his home, and the fact that he would
have to disclose that there is a safehouse nearby.
Rploh McMillan, 1 ~22 Commerce Blvd,, is opposed to having the shelter in this
location. He questioned Father Mike Tegeder of Our Lady of the Lake Church
if the church is involved in this issue. Father Mike stated that they are involved
in that they currently own the convent and will donate the building to the
Westonka Intervention organization. Is the church's involvement done after the
building is gone? The Westonka Intervention Program will still receive support
from the parish. There is not a specific budget item for this program. They
may help support landscaping or items like that. He stated that he is in favor
of finding a good location for the shelter in the Mound area.
Jon Lynott. 4561 Manchester Road, is a volunteer Domestic Abuse Advocate.
Due to the busy nature of Three Points Blvd., he does not see this shelter as
having a large impact on the already busy traffic. He stressed that this shelter
will be used for "very temporary" housing for victims. The assailant will be in
custody while the victim is placed in the shelter. He suggested that those
concerned about security contact advocates of other shelters.
Planning Commission Minutes ~ 11, 1994
ILyLe_ElJJJ~ further commented that the building does not meet the "general
character and appearance as other buildings or structures in the vicinity' as
stated in the City Code. He read a letter from a neighbor who was unable to
attend, this individual also opposed for reasons already stated.
Chair Michael summarized comments from the Citizens.
Sue Schebler further commented that the needs for a shelter are currently being
taken care of through other means, so if request is denied, the needs will still
be taken care of by other means.
JgAnn Boeser, further questioned who would maintain the property once the
landscaping and building is established.
Mueller verbally summarized a letter received from Michaela Diercks who is not in favor of the
shelter.
Dan Brewer, architect for the project, explained that he was asked to look at the structure to
see if it would be appropriate to be used for housing and it was determined that it was. Also,
as to how it would look on this particular site. Using the existing siding and trim, this building
could look like a typical New England salt box, and these types of houses are all over this
area. It would be possible to make this building look like a typical residence. The size of the
building is currently exaggerated because it is located on top of a knoll and it is very plain.
As far as ADA, it does have to meet all the ADA and UBC requirements. There is a problem
with the second floor access which will have to be reviewed.
Chair Michael hereby suspended the public hearing to allow for the option of re-opening the
hearing at a subsequent meeting, if necessary.
Mueller recommended that the City Council not set the public hearing for May 10, 1994 at this
time, as this may pressure the Commission to make a quick and hasty decision.
MOTION made by Voss to table this item until the April 25, 1994 Planning
Commission Meeting in order to allow the applicant to gather more information,
including, but not limited to, detailed information on how the structure will fit
in the neighborhood, and additional reports addressing security concerns,
specifically, information acquired by the Mound Police Chief that he can obtain
from other cities relating to the frequency of calls to existing shelters. Motion
seconded by Mueller. MOTION carried unanimously.
Mueller added that he would like to see the reports from the MPCA due to arrive relating to
the FINA property, and a report from the Fire Marshal.
The Building Official commented that he would like to see an assessment of needs by the
architect relating to how the building complies to the Building Code, ADA, and Accessibility.
This could bring to the surface any unforeseen expenditures, i.e. if an elevator is required it
may not be a feasible project.

PLANNING REPORT
TO: Mound Planning Commission and Staff
FROM: Mark Koegler, City Planner
DATE: April 5, 1994
SUBJECT: Zoning Amendment, Conditional Use Permit and House Moving Permit
Westonka Intervention Project
APPLICANT: Westonka Intervention Project - Dan Hessburg
CASE NUMBER: 94-21
HKG FILE NUMBER: 94-5f
LOCATION: 1730 Commerce Boulevard (Old Fina Site)
EXISTING ZONING: General Business (B-2)
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: Commercial
BACKGROUND: The Westonka Intervention Project is proposing to acquire the Fina gas
station site at the comer of Commerce Boulevard and Three Points Boulevard. They then intend
to move the convent building now located at Our Lady of the Lake Church to the old gas station
site and remodel the structure as a shelter for victims of domestic abuse. This shelter would
generally serve the Lake Minnetonka area.
The shelter will have a capacity of 15 (victims and children) and a staff component of 3 to 5,
depending on need. The purpose of the shelter is to supply short term housing. When a
domestic abuse situation occurs, the police department calls a volunteer advocate associated with
the Westonka Intervention Project. The advocate transports the victim and family members to
the shelter where they typically remain for 12 to 48 hours. After that time, most victims return
to their own homes. It is expected that the shelter will typically operate at 70 to 75% of
capacity.
The Fina gas station site is located in the B-2 zone which does not allow the proposed use.
Correspondingly, the applicant is seeking a zoning ordinance amendment to allow the use by
conditional use permit. The application also seeks approval of the conditional use permit as well

as a permit to move the structure. Therefore, in order for the structure to be moved to the
proposed site and operated as a shelter, three separate approvals are required. These approvals
include the following:
Zoning Amendment In order for the proposed shelter to be moved and operated at the proposed
location, a zoning amendment will be required. The applicant seeks to modify the Zoning Code
by adding "Community Residential Facilities" as a conditional use in the B-2 zone. This use is
currently allowed by CUP in the R-3 zone. By definition, community residential facilities are
uses that are licensed by the State. Accordingly, State Statutes contain provisions accommodating
such uses within multiple family areas. Provisions in the Statute supersede local zoning controls.
In this case, however, since the facility is not licensed, Statute provisions do not apply. As a
result, Mound is not compelled to approve the request based on a higher authority.
Since the proposed shelter is not a community residential facility, it can only be relocated if the
City is willing to modify the current zoning of the property to accommodate the proposed use
in some manner. One method would be to specifically add "Domestic Abuse Victim Shelters"
to the list of allowable uses by issuance of a conditional use permit. This would allow the use
providing a conditional use permit could be obtained.
Conditional Use Permit The second component of the Westonka Intervention Project's
application is the issuance of a conditional use permit. Obviously, this can not occur without a
modification of the current Zoning Code. Approval of a Conditional Use Permit for the shelter
is subject to the criteria that is contained in Section 350:525 of the Mound Zoning Code.
Moving of Buildings Permit Section 300:25 of the Mound City Code requires a permit for any
building that is to be moved. The ordinance requires that the structure be improved to meet all
current building, plumbing, heating, and electrical code requirements. The ordinance also
requires that the building to be relocated be "of the same general character and appearance as
other buildings or structures in the vicinity". Relocation of the Our Lady of the Lake Convent
building and its remodeling as a shelter will require issuance of a Moving of Buildings Permit
consistent with the code requirements.
COMMENT: The Westonka Intervention Project shelter requires the approvals identified above.
These approvals need to be handled on a separate basis, however, for the purpose of discussion,
the shelter proposal will be considered more generally in this report.
The proposed shelter will fill a social need, not only within Mound, but within the western Lake
Minnetonka area. At the present time, domestic abuse victims and their families are housed in
the Rob Motel in Long Lake. The proposed shelter would contain facilities and an atmosphere
that would be a more attractive and positive environment. Relocation of the old convent building
to the Fina property does, however, raise a number of significant issues that need to be addressed.
These issues include:
Westonka Intervention Project Planning Report
April 5, 1994
Page Three
Zoning Change If a zoning amendment is approved to allow the proposed shelter as a conditional
use in the [t-2 zone, any site with B-2 zoning could contain such a use. It is, however, unlikely
that additional shelters would be proposed within the City of Mound.
Displacement of Potential Business The existing B-2 zone in Mound is primarily intended to
accommodate business uses. The ordinance does allow multi-family housing in such areas as a
conditional use as demonstrated by the townhomes south of the Fina site. The Fina property
contained a commercial venture (gas station) for a number of years. Allowing the property to
be used for a shelter will preclude commercial use of the property.
Environmental Concerns The Fina site like most former gas station sites contains ground
contamination problems. The fuel tanks were removed in 1990 and 700 cubic yards of
contaminated soil was excavated and removed from the site. Monitoring wells were installed in
6 locations and the City well which lies east of the property has been continually monitored. To
date, the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) has not issued a letter clearing the site
of all contamination. In reviewing the use of the property with MPCA staff, they indicated that
the site could be used for the proposed purpose, providing that three conditions are included.
They are: 1) If any contamination is found during construction, MPCA should be notified
immediately, 2) the applicant should maintain contact with Fina during construction since Fina
is the party responsible for clean-up efforts, and 3) if any existing monitoring wells are displaced
as a result of construction, they would need to be replaced in locations acceptable to the MPCA.
Building Compatibility In order for a building to be moved to any location in Mound, the
Planning Commission and City Council need to find that the structure is consistent with character
and appearance of the surrounding area. The Fina site is located at the north entrance to Mound
along County Road 110. Therefore, the overall appearance of this area helps establish an initial
impression of the community. As a result, the importance of the appearance of the structure
becomes more significant, even beyond a finding that it is compatible with the character of the
area.
Our Lady of the Lake's convent building was built as a solid, functional structure. It is a very
plain structure which is almost totally void of any architectural detail or features that would
enhance its appearance. Such a building located within a complex of church buildings tends to
fade into the background. On the Fina site, however, it will be highly visible. Therefore, the
appearance of the structure is an issue that needs to be carefully considered.
Site Plan The written application for the proposed use is accompanied by an old survey onto
which the proposed structure has been added. The survey and plan do not comply with the site
plan submittal requirements for a conditional use permit. They do not contain the survey,
grading, drainage, and landscaping information required. Such information would need to be
supplied as part of the Conditional Use Permit approval.
Westonka Intervention Project Planning Report
April 5, 1994
Page Four
Land Use Compatibili_ty The issue of building compatibility that was addressed previously
focused on the physical qualities of the structure and how it fits into the surrounding area. Land
use compatibility also requires serious consideration. A shelter for victims of domestic abuse is
a unique land use that needs to fit within surrounding uses. For example, the shelter may require
security measures that are not necessarily found in most multiple family residential structures.
The Westonka Intervention Project has not provided detailed information on security measures
that are part of their plan with the exception of a verbal statement that they think they have found
a party willing to donate a security system.
In order to collect preliminary information on security and operational issues, I spoke with a
representative of the Minnetonka Police Department who had direct knowledge of a similar
shelter that is operated in their community. The shelter in Minnetonka is a large home in a single
family neighborhood that from the street, is not noticeably different from the surrounding homes.
According to the Minnetonka Police, the perception of problems with the shelter far outweighs
the occurrence of real problems. Over the past 10 years, the Minnetonka shelter has experienced
very few real problems. He stated that records outlining incidents could be made available to the
Mound Police Department upon their request.
RECOMMENDATION: Despite the fact that this case involves three separate approvals, the
decision essentially becomes one of, "Is the proposed shelter (including the building) an
appropriate use of the Fina property?" If the answer to this question is no, further review of the
issues is not required. If the Planning Commission is inclined to answer yes to this question, a
number of issues need to be addressed.
If the proposed shelter is deemed to be an acceptable use of the Fina property, staff has concerns
about specific details of the project. The main focus of the concern involves the appearance of
the building. Issuance of a building moving permit requires a finding that the structure is
consistent with the character of the surrounding area. Since the surrounding properties contain
a mixture of land uses including commercial structures as well as single and multi-family
residential buildings, character is somewhat subjective and difficult to define. In the opinion of
staff, however, the plain facade of the building is a significant issue and in its present form, the
building would not enhance the general appearance in the area.
Relocation of the building will require a number of improvements to comply with applicable
codes. These improvements will principally impact the interior, rather than the exterior of the
building. It is possible that these improvements will require the services of a registered architect
to address code compliance issues. An architect may be able to suggest exterior modifications
that would improve the appearance of the structure. Such modifications combined with
appropriate landscaping could significantly improve the appearance of the existing building.
It, I

The decision that must ultimately be reached by the Planning Commission needs to focus on the
land use compatibility, zoning, development and aesthetic issues that the project raises. As a
result, two primary options are available. They are:
The Planning Commission could determine that the proposed use is inappropriate in the
commercial zone and/or it is incompatible with surrounding land uses and deny the
request to modify the current Zoning Code. Findings of fact would need to accompany
such an action.
The Planning Commission could determine that the proposed use is appropriate on the
Fina site and could approve the rezoning, conditional use permit and building moving
permit subject to specific conditions that could be identified. If this action is favored,
the Planning Commission will need to identify issues that need to be addressed as part of
an approval action. Utilizing the Commission's list of issues, staff can prepare a
supplementary report, either to be brought back to the Planning Commission at a
subsequent meeting to be taken directly to the City Council for their consideration. The
report could contain written conditions that cover each of the identified topics. Suggested
issues include but are not limited to:
Expansion of the proposed parking area
Preparation of a landscaping plan
Preparation of a plan for improvement of the exterior of the building - this could
include required participation by a registered architect
Submittal of an updated survey drawing
Submittal of a grading, drainage and utility plan
Compliance with MPCA requirements
Submittal of security plans and additional operational information about the shelter

If you could please pass this letter on to the City Council and Mayor as they consider the
placement of the OLL convent at 1730 Commerce Boulevard.
My name is Michaela Diercks and I live directly across the street [west] of 1730 Commerce
Boulevard. I will be unable to attend the April 11 meeting at which the movement of the OLL
convent will be discussed and therefore I am writing to voice my concerns.
My concern is not with the appearance of the building, but with its proposed use. I am not
concerned about having victims of domestic violence in my neighborhood, but I am extremely
concerned about having the individuals who have cuased that violence in my neighborhood.
Several years ago I volunteered at a similar shelter for female victims of domestic violence and
quickly understood why the shelter was equipped with bars across the windows and an excellent
securtiy system. It is because, on a daily basis, the women being protected were being followed
by their abusive husbands and boyfriends. These men, by definition, are violent; and it is not a
surprise that the majority of them not only abuse their spouse, but also abuse alcohol and drugs.
Many of them carried weapons.
My heart goes out to the victims of domestic violence, however I do not want their violent
husbands and boyfriends in my neighborhood. I do not want them disturbing the peace. I do not
want them on my property. And most importantly, I do not want them mistaking my home for
the shelter.
I think that in an attempt to solve one problem you are causing another. I ask you if you can
guarantee my and my neishbors' personal safety? I ask if you would be willing to have a shelter
next door to your home, especially if you have small children or an elderly parent?
Please reconsider this plan. Please consider the safety of our neishborhood.
Sincerely,
Michaela Diercks

The pre-existing deck has been removed by the applicant. It is possible, at this time, to
reconstruct a reasonable sized deck that is conforming to the lakeshore setback of 50 feet.
This would also improve the encroachment into the side yard. The hardcover is over the
maximum 30 percent allowable by a significant quantity. The Planning Commission and
applicant may wish to consider reducing this, if possible.
_STAFF RECOMMENDATI01~_I
Staff recommends the Planning Commission recommend approval of a variance to recognize
the existing nonconforming status as listed, in order to construct a new deck on the lakeside
of the dwelling that is conforming to the required 50 foot setback to the ordinary high water.
A deck size of 10' x 44' allows the applicant reasonable use of the property and is
conforming to required setbacks.

RE: RECONSTRUCTION OF SHORELINE, LOT 14, BL 2, SHADYWOOD POINT
Dear Mr. Walton:
I am in receipt of a lot survey, cross section, and proposal to
replace rip rap stones along the shoreline of your property. It is
my understanding that you intend to replace rip rap stones which
have washed into the lake due to wave and ice action. This
activity will not require a District permit providing you do not
extend the riprap stone farther than five feet waterward of the
ordinary high water elevation of 929.4.
It is also my understanding that, in order to restore your
shoreline, you do not intend to place fill below the ordinary high
water mark of 929.4 or within the 100-year floodplain of Lake
Minnetonka which is that area on your property at or below
elevation 931.5.
Please contact me should you require
regarding this matter.
Sincerely,
Ellen B. Sones
District Administrator

Case g93-041: James Walton. 1952 Shorewood Lane, Lot 14, Block 2,
Shadywood Point, pID//18-117-23 23 0014. VARIANCE FOR DECK,
Building Official, Jon Sutherland, reviewed the applicant's request
for a variance in order to reconstruct a previously existing deck
on the home. Staff is unable to ascertain the setback to the
ordinary high water (OHW) and has requested a revised survey as
noted on his inspection notice dated 7-20-93. The applicant's
hardcover calculations are also incomplete and could be verified by
the survey. Staff has scaled the side setback to the east at 7
feet resulting in a 3 foot variance request.
The applicant was reluctant to provide a revised survey so staff
informed the applicant we would take the information as provided
and present it to the Planning Commission. The surveyor, Schoell
and Madson, confirmed that he cannot calculate lot area without the
OHW elevation being identified.
Staff recommended the Planning Commission table this issue until
the applicant provides the required information to process the
case.
Applicant, Mr. Walton, informed the commission that he does not
feel a new survey should be required. Both of his neighbors are in
favor of the proposed deck. He believes he meets the 50 foot
setback to the lake, according to his measurements. He stated that
the building official measured to the edge of the water which is
now about I foot higher than the OHW. He cannot afford $750 for a
survey. In addition, he does not agree with the City's hardcover
ordinance, he believes driveways of red rock should not be
considered hardcover as they are pervious. He also added that the
term #hardcover" is poorly used. He requested he building permit
be issued and the $50 fee for the variance be refunded.
Mueller commented that the applicant needs to show the 929.4
location, to verify the deck is 50 feet from the OHW. The
applicant stated that he would be willing to locate the 929.4 so
the Building Official can verify the setback, but he will not spend
$750 on a survey. He also stated that he would scale back the size
of the deck, if it is required, to meet the 50 foot setback.
The Planning Commission noted that hardcover calculations are
needed to determine the variance.

.~ LARRY & CHRiSTiNE HAUSKINS. 1749 BLUEBIRD LANE. LOTS 13 & 14'
BLOCK 9. DREAMWOOD. PID #13-117-24 24 0005. VARIANCE FOR PORCH & DECK.
Building Official, Jon Sutherland, reviewed the applicant's request for a variance to recognize
the existing nonconforming dwelling and to allow the construction of a three season porch
over a portion of the existing deck area. This property received a previous variance in 1990
allowing the existing conditions. The proposed po~ch will follow the same 9.1 foot setback
to the rear lot line where a 15 foot setback is required, resulting in a 5.1 foot variance. A
portion of the existing deck will be removed and this will actually improve the impact to the
rear by 3.1 feet. The applicant has explored other options and whether the expansion could
be placed in another area without encroaching, however, due to the odd shape of the lot, the
positioning of the house to gain lake views and the interior floor plan layout, in their opinion,
it was not possible.
It is difficult to find hardship in this case, however, there does appear to be a basis for a
finding of practical difficulty due to the shape of the lot, aesthetics of the lake view, and the
fact that this addition will add to the use and function of the property. Staff recommended
the Planning Commission recommend approval of the variance request with the following
findings of fact:
1. A practical difficulty exists due to the shape of the lot, and functional and aesthetic
concerns.
2. The proposed addition will enhance the owners use and function.
Mueller expressed a concern that the proposed porch would obstruct the view of the lake for
the house on Lot 17. Staff confirmed that the owner of Lot 17 did not receive notification of
this request.
It was confirmed that the setback to the top of the bluff is okay.
Larry Hauskins, applicant, stated that he has talked with his neighbors and they have no
problem with the proposed porch.
Mueller suggested that the owners of Lot 17 be notified prior to this case being reviewed by
the City Council. It was noted that trees could be planted which would block their view to
the lake, and there is no ordinance against this.
Voss stated that he fails to see a practical difficulty.
MOTION made by Vosa to recommend denial of the variance application due to
lack of a practical difficult. Motion seconded by Mueller.
Jensan commented that this is a difficult case, and that she sees no hardship, but questioned
if there is a practical difficulty.
Hauskins stressed that the porch will be constructed over an existing deck and it will not
encroach any further, it will add value to the house and will be a nice addition. He noted that
in 1990 he was allowed to add a second story to his house with a 9.1 foot setback, why
should this not be approved?
MOTION to deny ca,ed 5 to 1. Tho~e in favor of denial were: Mueller,
W~and, Michael, Jansen, and Voas. Bird opposed.
Bird commented that she is new to the Commission, but she sees the addition as an
improvement, it will increase the value of the home, and if there is no objection from the
neighb(xs it should be approved.
This case was scheduled to be reviewed by the City Council on April 26, 1994, however, at
the applicant's request it will be reviewed at the May 10, 1994 meeting.

RE: Variance to,normal 50 foot setback from cemetery
APR 2 O
Dear Mr. Fleishhacker:
This letter is provided to you pursuant to our responsibilities under Minnesota
Statute 307.08. It appears that mound number 15 of the Bartlett Mound Group
(State Site Number 21-HE-65) is located on your property between a recent
addition to your house and Lake Minnetonka.
Your request for a variance from the normal 50 foot setback from the edge of a
burial mound is granted due to the special hardship conditions existing at this
location. This special variance is granted under the following conditions:
1. Deck footings may be placed under the proposed deck as indicated
with a hand held machine or through hand excavation within 12 feet of the
edge of the mound. Excavation shall be monitored by an archaeologist
appointed by the Minnesota Indian Affairs Council. A two week notice
should previde ample time to schedule the monitoring.
2. We request that you encourage foot and other traffic around, rather
than over, the mound.
3. We request that you encourage grass growth over the mound to
reduce the potential for erosion.
AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITy EMPLOYER
4. We request that you do not place picnic tables, barbecue grills, play
sets or the like on the mound.
5. No digging is permitted in or around the mound except as provided
above.
6. Mowing of grass on the mound is permitted.
We greatly appreciate your cooperation in protecting our sacred heritage. Your
cooperation in the endeavor has been exemplary and we commend you for your
efforts in assuring that no disturbance of the mound took place during your
recent construction.
If you have any questions regarding these provisions, please do not hesitate to
contact me.

Dear Mr. Sargent:
RE( IEIYED
OCT 2 9 1993
&,IO[IND PLANNING & INSP.
I believe that by now you are aware of a problem involving, what seems to be, an Indian Burial
Mound on my property in the City of Mound. The State Historical Society records show a
Mound in the general vicinity of my property (5601 Bartlett Boulevard) which was referred to
as my "quarter quarter".
I bought this property in 1986 with the thought of remodeling the house in the future, as it was
quite old and in need of some serious repair. We began construction on the remodeling in
August of 1992, completing it around April, 1993. The new back entry to the house is
approximately 3 feet from grade and faces the lake where we intended to build a low deck.
Subsequent to our obtaining the permit and building the house, we discovered the existence of
a new Shoreland Management Ordinance involving a 50 foot set-back from the Mound, which
lies between the shoreline and the house. The house itself is approximately 30 feet from it. We
immediately (prior to filing for a variance to the city) redesigned the deck to better avoid the
Mound boarder and create a minimum I0 foot buffer to it. The city, upon review, decided they
needed to further research the situation.
Today I was informed I needed to write to you directly at Indian Affairs to respectfully request
from you a variance for construction of this wood deck. I'm not sure which documents you have
seen or not seen regarding this case. However, I believe Robert Klaus of the State Historical
Society has the entire file. I have enclosed a copy of the survey map for your convenience.
We have always viewed this piece of our property as a somewhat unusual formation. Many
people who have seen it would suggest to us to level it in order to improve the view. We have
always taken the position that we heard from the neighbors that it might be an Indian Mound and
therefore did not want to disturb it, nor legal or ethically should we, assuming it is the mound
located on my
We feel by varying the design to stay clear of it by 10 feet at the closest point, that we will
insure that none of the soil will be disturbed. Assuming this site is in fact an Indian Mound, as
we have assumed since 1986, I understand the desire to keep them intact and it should be. I also
sincerely hope that you will accept my position as a compromise to the set-back which all of us
were unaware of when the house was remodeled as the ordinance did not even exist then.
Thank you for your consideration in this matter.
Regards,
Joe Fleischhacker

As part of the elections legislation group, I am still monitoring
pending legislation. There is a bill out there that would require
all cities to have their elections in odd year Novembers. This
would mean an election every year because cities and school
districts would be the only ones to hold their elections in odd
years. At the time of writing this, counties who were originally
a included in this bill and scheduled to have elections in odd
years, were deleted it. The Minnesota School Board Association

SUBJECT: APRIL MONTHLY REPORT
Even with the weather being so nasty, we still had another excellent month for sales.
Maybe, with the snow that came during the end of the month, people thought the
holidays were near and needed an excuse to lighten their purses and wallets. Gross
sales for April of 94 were $117,785. Last year in the same month, sales were
$110,748. That is a 6.5% increase. Customers for the month were 9287 compared
to 9035 in April of 93.
Mark Saliterman has plans for doing some minor and maior proiects on the building
and property. Some roofing and paving repairs are slated for later in the year. When,
he is not exactly sure. He also has had some parking lot lights moved in order to
provide better lighting closer to the mall. He said that he is also going to replace the
heads of the two parking lot lights that are on the Wilshire Blvd. side of the building.
Another thing that he has had done that looks tremendous and that is also energy
efficient is to tear out all the old light fixtures that were under the overhang all along
the walkway from the grocery store around to us and replace them with newer, 100%
brighter, and cost saving energy efficient fixtures. I understand that the bulbs are very
expensive, but the good thing for me is that they should last for several years. I won't
have to go out to do that chore so often anymore, especially in inclement weather.
Last month we had some water problems in our back storage area. At first I thought
we were simply getting ground water from the spring thaw and that it was seeping
through some cracks in our floor tiles. Well, after several weeks of occasional
mopping, we all began to wonder if indeed we were not having some sort of sewer
problems. Greg Skinner and his crew were consulted and indeed their expert opinion
was correct, sewage. Mark Saliterman called his plumbers in and the problem was
rectified. SEems a drain near Headliners bathrooms was clogged and backing up.

Parks
With the varied weather and the process of hiring a new seasonal
maintenance employee, our general preparation for summer has been
delayed. All play structures have been looked at and minor repairs
completed. Debris that was dropped in the parks has been removed. The
play structure in Mound Bay Park is under construction, and will be
ready for Memorial Day weekend.
Docks
The issuance of dock licenses is complete. This year, we have a
shortage of sites, the demand has returned from what we had prior to
the drought.
The clean-up from the winter burials is almost completed. The heavy
rains have caused a number of headstones to settle. We will have all
the restoration done prior to Memorial Day.
Trees
There has been two sites, one private, and one City, that have had trees
marked for removal. This work cannot be done until weight restriction
are lifted.

MINUTES REVIEW: Minutes of 3/25/94 were accepted as
presented. Strommen noted Gary Montz, DNR, had reviewed the
minutes and edited his comments for accuracy, completeness.
MN DNR REPORT, Chip Welling:
FUND ALLOCATION FOR 1994 CONTROL OF EXISTING EURASIAN
WATER (EWM) MILFOIL INFESTATIONS. Welling reported that
the watercraft surcharge increase resulted in $101,055 of
funds being made available for control work. Funds will
be made available to the agency or organization doing the
EWM control work. Funding for Lake Minnetonka EWM
control work conducted by the Lake Minnetonka
Conservation District has been established at $24,500.
Guidelines for funding eligibility are attached.
Eligible organizations are to make application for funds
in advance of the control work and request reimbursement
upon completion of the work.
Reese questioned how far into the future such funding
might continue. It was pointed out that the $5
watercraft surcharge is effective until 12/31/96, after
which it returns to $3. The watercraft license is valid
for three years.
B. CORPS OF ENGINEERS RESEARCH SUPPORT. In-kind research,
...... "~'~ i=~.~l.ime~Y~'an~.i~ara~t~innesota EWM research,
valued at $200,000, has been confirmed. Included are:
l) Predictions of the spread and future abundance by
identifying the characteristics of lakes sensitive to
EWM infestation.
2) Examine biological control agents.
3) Survey for other pathogens which may attack EWM.
An earlier Massachusetts study had examined fungus as
a pathogen in lab studies, but it did not work in
field studies. No biological control agent has yet
been identified that is ready to use.
EURASIAN WATER MILFOIL TASK FORCE, Minutes, 4/15/94, P. 2
4) Potential for control by herbiverous insects will be
examined.
The CoE is meeting in May with DNR and U of MN staff.
C. SONAR WHOLE LAKE STUDY. Treatment for zumbra & E.
Parkers Lake is ready to go in early May. Water
temperature will be a factor in the actual application
date. The lake will be treated after the water is
stratified by temperature gradients. Neither lake has
much volume below the littoral area. Treatments must be
done before June. Welling reviewed the purpose of the
Sonar test to be evaluating the potential for controlling
EWM without a severe impact on native plants.
ZEBRA MUSSEL SPREAD PREVENTION. This item was proposed for
further discussion following Gary Montz's March presentation.
Reese expressed concern that he does not see prevention of
spread occurring at the source. He proposes three treatment
stations be set up around the lake where boats would be
cleaned and inspected. The Mound council had no objections
when he proposed the concept to them. The cost and
effectiveness of such a program could be determined. It
would also serve as a boater education tool. The question is
how do you know when to trigger such a plan? When one
veliger (larvae) is found in the lake? Then it is too late.
A sub-committee to develop an action plan was suggested.
Existing exotics funds could be re-prioritized to make more
available for zebra Mussel (ZM) spread prevention.
Questions the sub-con~ittee could address are:
1) What is the ZM prevention program for the Mississippi
River?
2) What is an adequate treatment program for cleaning
boats? 3) Can prevention be reduced to "zero"?
4) How many people move from the river to lakes?
Newman suggests the Inter-agency Task Force on Exotics be
inClude'd in.the, subcommittee deliberations. Jay Rendall was
also suggested, sport fishing groups were also proposed to
be involved.
Reese suggests that Lake Minnetonka marina capacity be
expanded to reduce the number of boatS using public accesses.
There was no immediate Task Force suggestion on a
subcommittee to undertake development of a zebra Mussel
action plan. spiney water flea and ruffe fish were also
suggested to be included in the action plan.
EURASIAN WATER MILFOIL TASK FORCE, Minutes, 4/25/94, P. 3
Wulff called attention to a Lakes Coordinating committee
chaired by Kathy Svanda, MN PCA. Strommen will get details
from Svanda and follow-up with Gary Montz on his suggestions.
HARVESTING MILFOIL SOON AFTER ICE OUT. The question of
standing milfoil requiring harvesting soon after ice out was
raised by Cob Burandt and discussed at the 3/25/94 EWM Task
Force meeting. At the committee's suggestion, the Hennepin
County Sheriff's Water Patrol was requested to conduct an
underwater dive and photo examination of EWM plant condition.
The Water Patrol did send two divers to examine plants out to
about ten feet deep on April 11 (ice out was declared at
10:47 pm, April 11) in front of the Water Patrol
headquarters in Spring Park Bay. Strommen was present at the
time. No standing milfoil was identified. A few samples of
plants brought in did not look healthy. The photos were not
ready at this meeting.
Burandt and the Task Force were satisfied that there was not
sufficient milfoil standing to require harvesting after ice
out. Burandt circulated milfoil samples he picked up at the
Spring Park access which he believes demonstrates that auto-
fragmentation occurs even though EWM is laying on the lake
bottom. He suggested Spring Park Bay be intensively
harvested in the fall.
In response to when the weed pulling machine would be in
operation, Burandt said the arrival of the second check of
$12,500 in mid-March delayed work on the machine. He is not
sure at this time of when the machine will be ready or if it
will have all of the modifications he had planned to make.
EWM SITUATION ANALYSIS ISSUES AND ACTIONS. LMCD staff
recommendations on identifying the actions was presented to
the Task Force in a draft dated 4/8/94. Items "A" through
"E" were individually reviewed. Comments offered were:
Item A. On shore/aesthetics and recreational -- An
additional suggestion for catching floating fragments in
bays being harvested was offered by Burandt. Use of a
floating rope will catch them before they reach shore.
Item D. Boat landings/recreational and ecological --
Action item 1 suggested to be changed from "daily" to "as
needed."
Item E. Near shore and off shore/ecological -- John
Barren offered to initiate a scientific subcommittee
review of the challenges of the problem dealing with
ecological impacts of EWM on native plants, fisheries,
invertebrates and other organisms.
The balance of the Situation Analysis was agreed to reflect
appropriate actions as recommended. Long-term considerations

Executive Director
Anouncement of availability of funds for management of Eurasian watermiifoil from the
Minnesota Department of Natural Resources
As you may know, the DNR has conducted control of milfoil on many Minnesota lakes
in the past five years. Much of this work was done on a 'cost-share' basis that involved
participation of lake associations, conservation districts, municipalities, and similar
organizations in paying for control work. These cooperative efforts were attempts to
eliminate milfoil from lakes, the DNR's highest priority for control work, and will be
c6ntinued in 1994.
The purpose of this announcement is to inform lake associations, conservation districts,
municipalities, and similar organizations of the availiability in 1994 of State funds for
management of Eurasian watermilfoil in certain Minnesota lakes. The DNR will make funds
available to outside organizations (See attached list) for management of milfoil on lakes where
eradication is not possible with current technology.
Guidelines
To be eligible for this program, a lake must have at least one public access. These
funds are intended to pay for management of Eurasian watermilfoil that will benefit a
majority of homeowners and the general public who use a lake and protect valuable fish,
wildlife, and native plants. These funds may not be used for control work that would
otherwise be done by private individuals under a DNR permit to control aquatic plants., In
addition, these funds may not be used for control of aquatic plants other than Eurasian
watermilfoil. Work eligible for reimbursement includes:
1) Control of Eurasian watermilfoil in areas of high use such as channels from
shore to off-shore areas, accesses, or in areas where valuable fish, wildlife,
and native plants are present. Control may be done by the following methods:
a) Use of 2,4-D herbicide,
b) Mechanical control,
c) Pulling done by hand.
2) Control of Eurasian watermilfoil in the vicinity of an access to reduce the
accidental transport of milfoil from a lake by boaters coming off the lake at the
access.
3) Surveys of milfoil done by a contractor in support of control work.
Organizations that apply for funds available through this program will be required to
complete and submit the attached application forms: one for funds from the DNR and the
other for an Aquatic Plant Management permit. To complete this application for funding,
organizations must provide:
1) a lake map on which areas of Eurasian watermilfoil and areas to be treated
are marked,
2) a description of other plant species found in the area,
3) a description of methods to be used,
4) a description of anticipated benefits, and
page 1
I?q?
· ' approves the applications for a lake, the organization must solicit competitive bids
.f the DI~R ' 5) an estimate of the number of people who would benefit.
for the proposed work and select a contractor to do the work. Only one Aquatic Plant
Management permit for control of Eurasian watermilf°ilwill be issued, free of charge, for an
individual lake.in 1994. This linfit does not restrict individual property owners from applying
for permits, for aquatic plant management adjacent to their property.
The outside organization will pay for the work, bill the DNR for a specified amount, and
be reimbursed. The DNR will provide technical assistance when requested. Under this
program, the DNR is n_n_9l obligated to do surveys or supervise applications. Reimbursement
by the DNR will require that your organization apply for the program and be accepted. After
the work, is completed, your organization must provide the DNR with:
· ' ...',,'; 1) Record of bids received,
", ~2) 'copy of the original invoice from the contractor,
:"3) maps of areas with Eurasian watermilfoil and areas treated,
· 4) a description of other plant species, found in the areas treated,
5) a description of methods used,
6) a description of benefits, and
7) an estimate of the number of people who benefitted..
We hope that this program will promote the wise management of Eurasian watermilfoil
in Minnesota's.lakes. Continuation of this pilot program beyond 1994 will depend on its

INTRODUCTION. Chair Foster welcomed the law enforcement
officers to this meeting called to discuss priorities for
enforcement of summer and winter rules on Lake Minnetonka.
This meeting is recommended by the Management Plan. A second
objective states that "The LMCD will work with the Water
Patrol, counties, DNR, local public safety departments and
the Metropolitan Council to ensure direct communication using
the latest technology available to the various departments."
To this end the meeting was opened for discussion.
SPECIAL EVENT LICENSING BY LMCD. Licensing of special events
by LMCD in addition to Water Patrol issuance of event permits
for all events on the lake was discussed. Sgt. Chandler
advised state law requires all counties to issue permits for
events taking place on the public waters. As such, the
Water Patrol produces a calendar of events for all Hennepin
County water-related activities.
Sgt. Chandler noted that it is the sheriff's policy to
require the local city's permission for a lake event in or
adjacent to the city. This covers an event's impact as it
may relate to vehicle parking on shoreland or on the ice,
effect on surrounding properties and other concerns.
DNR permits are required for fishing contests where the entry
fee is over $10 per person or prizes are offered at a value
over $2,000.
LMCD's licensing assures that the applicant:
1. Has copies of and understands LMCD's summer/winter lake
rules while conducting an event on the lake; Applicable
rules are called to the applicant's attention.
2. Receives stipulations to prevent exotic plants and
animals spread from the lake, or their introduction into
the lake.
PUBLIC SAFETY LAW ENFORCEMENT REVIEW, Meeting Report, P. 2
3. Monitors event scheduling to prevent conflicts of date,
time and location.
4. Produces and publishes a Lake Minnetonka event
calendar which is circulated to all cities, law
enforcement offices and the media.
Sgt. Chandler responded that the Water Patrol could handle
the license requirements now being done by the LMCD.
Lt. Cheswick, Orono, questioned the need for an event
applicant to have up to three approvals for conducting a
fishing contest. There was agreement among the officers
present that the event schedule is needed in their monitoring
of events affecting the surrounding area and that such a
schedule could come from the Sheriff's office instead of the
LMCD.
Foster noted that the Lake Use Committee will be reviewing
the LMCD's role in licensing special events at its April 18
meeting. A recom~nendation to the LMCD board is expected.
SUMMER ACTIVITY REVIEW. Sgt. chandler noted that cool sun, her
weather the last two years has lowered boating activity and
therefore violations. Businesses renting personal watercraft
or "jet skis" were noted to be conscientious about providing
lake rules and video training to persons renting their
equipment. Noise from persons partying on the water has been
noted in the vicinity of restaurants near the water.
Bridge jumping has been a law enforcement frustration. The
injury potential is great. Fence barriers may be effective
in preventing access to bridges. It was suggested the
railroads be contacted in this regard. Chandler will check.
WINTER ACTIVITY REVIEW. Snowmobile traffic over private
property while attempting to access the lake, leave it or
move from bay to bay is a particular winter complaint.
LMCD attempted to reduce vehicle traffic within 150' of the
shore by posting signs at public winter points to the lake.
This was effective in instances where major traffic lanes
were routed away from residential shore zones. This was
intended to move snowmobile traffic away from the shore to
provide more safety to pedestrian and ski users.
COMMUNICATIONS. communication channels were explained by
Captain Peterson as being:
1. Water Patrol private channel, can be monitored by other
law enforcement agencies, but they cannot speak on it.
2. South main Lake Minnetonka channel
3. Car to Car channel
4. Hennepin County emergency channel 3
PUBLIC SAFETY LAW ENFORCEMENT REVIEW, MEETING REPORT, P. 3
5. State wide emergency channel, open to all law enforcement
agencies.
Local law enforcement officers noted that it would be a
benefit if they could speak to the Water Patrol on their
private channel.
CITY ENFORCEMENT VS. SHERIFF ENFORCEMENT OF LMCD ORDINANCES.
It was initially noted that cities do not have jurisdiction
on the water. Lt. Cheswick, Orono, favored being able to
enforce LMCD ordinances.
Deephaven Chief Anderson disagreed with the idea of local
police having any jurisdiction on the water. They are
currently not equipped with boats, life jackets and other
equipment for on the water enforcement, nor are their
personnel trained for work on the water. If cities were
required to enforce LMCD ordinances on the water, it would
put an additional burden on each department for equipment,
training, and added staffing. He stated that on the water
enforcement should be entirely the Sheriff's responsibility.
Also, if cities did enforcement on the water, who would do
the prosecution? It was noted that before the LMCD had its
own prosecutor, many of the tickets issued by the Water
Patrol were torn up by the violators because there was little
or no prosecution. Prosecution was very difficult because
the local city prosecutors were not completely familiar with
LMCD ordinances and there was difficulty in determining where
city boundary lines were on the water and, thus, which city
had jurisdiction.
The Deephaven chief continued that the cities need to
understand that the LMCD has the legal authority to police
the lake. They do it through the Sheriff's Water Patrol.
He believes the police department chiefs should support the
LMCD and Hennepin County Sheriff to fund greater law
enforcement capability, but only through the Water Patrol.
Captain Peterson noted that the Water Patrol now has two full
time deputies per shift, plus its special deputies. They are
unable, however, to extend hours for late nite calls without
more personnel funding.
LAKESHORE LIGHTING. Foster and Reese explained the Lake Use
Con~nittee Study involving a new LMCD ordinance to shield
lighting on docks, and development of a model city ordinance
to shield lighting on land structures.
The law officers recognized that the cities will enforce such
an ordinance through its planning/building inspection
personnel. They believe it should not be a law enforcement
PUBLIC SAFETY LAW ENFORCE~4ENT REVIEW, MEETING REPORT, P. 4
issue, but a zoning issue. The Water Patrol noted it does
not see lighting on the lake in most instances as a public
safety problem. Legal costs in defending ordinances to deal
with this problem could be expensive. Encouraging voluntary
compliance was one suggestion.
WATER PATROL ANNOUNCEMENTS. Peterson reported that the
Sheriff's Patrol Division will be moving to Brooklyn Park
June 1, near old County 18 outside of Osseo. He and Lt.
Essensten will office at this location.
Chandler added that the Water Patrol headquarters building is
being studied for a design of a new facility, or expanded
facility in the same location. Construction could start in
1995.
HENNEPIN REGIONAL PARK. Gove noted the Park's first phase
opens in 1995. County Rd. 44 will be realigned this year.
NEXT MEETING. It was the group's consensus that an annual
meeting was adequate. An April, 1995, meeting was advised.

CASE #93-041: JIM WALTON. 1952 SHOREWOOD LANE, LOT 14, BLOCK 2, SHADYWOOD
POINT. PID #18-117-2323 0014. VARIANCE FOR DECK.
Building Official, Jon Sutherland, explained that this case was heard by the Planning Commission on
August 9, 1 993 and was tabled at that time for additional information. The original request was to
replace the existing 16' x 44' deck. A revised survey has now been provided, and the applicant has
revised his request to a 14.5' x 44' deck. The resulting variances, include:
reeuired existing variance

It is possible to reconstruct a reasonable sized deck of 10' x 44' that is conforming to the lakeshore
setback of 50 feet. This would also improve the encroachment into the side yard. The hardcover
is over the maximum 30 percent allowable by a significant quantity. The Planning Commission and
applicant may wish to consider reducing this, if possible.

Planning Commission Minutes
April 25, 1994
Staff recommended the Planning Commission recommend approval of the variance to recognize the
existing nonconforming issues as previously listed~ in order to construct a new deck on the lakeside
of the dwelling that is conforming to the required 50 foot setback to the ordinary high water. A deck
size of 10' x 44' allows the applicant reasonable use of the property and is conforming to required
setbacks.
Hanus commented that he does not have a problem with the amount of hardcover, as he does not
agree that gravel driveways are actually 100% impervious, however, he believes a 10' deck is a
functional size and this would make the setbacks conforming.
Mr. Walton's neighbor, Connie Peterson, spoke in favor of allowing the deck to be reconstructed.
She stated that the neighbors have signed a petition to allow the deck to be replaced. She also
stated that if Mr. Walton is required to cut his deck back to 10 feet, he would not get any sunlight
on the deck.
Voss agreed with Hanus' statement and commented that there is no hardship or practical difficulty
to allow an encroachment into the 50 foot setback requirement.
Mueller questioned the location of the doors which enter onto the deck. Mr. Walton stated that there
are two 6' wide openings onto the deck and two 6' wide openings under the deck, both towards the
southeast side of the house.
Mr. Walton stated that the existing footings for the deck are 1 2' from the house, and he intended on
using these.
Mueller addressed concerns relating to the amount of hardcover.
MOTION made by Weiland. seconded by Clapsaddle, to recommend approval of the
variance to allow a 14.5' x 44' deck, upon the condition that the 7.1' side yard
setback be maintained.
Mueller questioned the hardship to allow the deck encroachment into the lakeside setback. He
stressed the fact that this is a sizeable deck. Jensen stated that she is not in favor of the motion;
the intent of the ordinance is to correct nonconforming situations when possible, and now is the time
to construct a smaller deck with conforming setbacks. Voss agreed, and stressed the need to
maintain the 50 foot setback requirement. The Building Official commented that staff did not look
at reducing the amount of hardcover as the amount of hardcover was not being increased.
MOTION failed 0 to 8.
A motion to table the variance request was moved, and subsequently withdrawn. A motion to deny
the variance request was moved, and subsequently withdrawn. The Commission again reviewed
staff's recommendation. Hanus illustrated that a 10 foot deck would create conforming setbacks to
the side yard and lakeside, and it would also decrease the nonconforming hardcover situation.

Planning Commission Minutes ~4pril 25, 1994
MOTION made by Clapsaddle, seconded by Mu.liar, to recommend approval of the
variance, as recommended by staff, including a condition that 5 feet on each outer
edge of the gravel driveway be altered to green space. Motion carded 6 to 2. Those
in favor were: Clapsaddle, Mu.liar, Bird, Weiland, Hanus, and Voss. Michael and
Jansen opposed.
Jansen and Michael stated that they opposed to the motion because they are not in favor of requiring
the additional green space. Hanus stated that he also does not feel the additional green space is
necessary, however, voted in favor of the motion so that it would pass.
Mu.liar noted to the applicant that green space could be bushes, or other plantings, it does not
necessarily have to be grass.
This case will be reviewed by the City Council on May 10, 1994.

COMPANY. 17~10 COMMERCE BLVD., PART OF LOT 27, LAFAYETTE PARK, PID #1~-117-24 22
0025. ZONIN~ ORDINANCE AMENDMENT, CONDITIONAL I,I~E pERMIT, AND MOVING BUILDING
PERMIT: CONTINUED PUBLIC HEARING.
Chair Michael reviewed the procedures to be followed for the public hearing.
City Planner, Mark Koegler, reminded the Planning Commission that they are faced with making
recommendations on potentially three items:
Zoning Amendment. This amendment would add this type of shelter to the list of uses
allowed by conditional use permit in the B-2 zone. Koeglar emphasized that the zoning
amendment has to be approved prior to approval of the conditional use permit.
Conditional Use Permit. This give the City the opportunity to place conditions on the approval
of the operation of the shelter.
Moving of Building Permit. Koegler noted that the Public Hearing notice for the May 10, 1994
City Council meeting has been modified to include the option of moving the building within the
Our Lady of the Lake Property et 2385 Commerce Blvd. This would allow the church to be
temporarily stored on the church property until a location is ultimately chosen.
Koegler reviewed a supplemental staff report. The original staff report was presented at the Planning
Commission meeting on April 11, 1994. Koegler proceeded to provide a brief overview of all the
areas in Mound currently containing the B-2 zoning. Any zoning amendment modifying the B-2
provisions would apply to each of these areas.
Koegler reviewed a memo submitted by Chief Lan Harrell giving a summary of calls a local shelters.
Koegler explained that the numbers in this memo do not mean a lot as every police department
collects and categorizes information differently, and it is hard to define what the service calls are.
These calls included fire alarm calls, residential burglar alarms - and the records do not indicate if they
were false alarms, people locking themselves out of their cars, neighborhood disputes, unwanted
person was listed as one in the City of Minnetonka in 1993, miscellaneous public assistance, etc.
Planning CormnL~on Minutes
April 25, I~)4
Chair Michael opened the public hearing.
Dan Hessburg, applicant and representative for the Westonka Intervention Project, presented to the
Commission a rendering drawn by his architect showing the building as it could look with some very
simple modifications, including shutters, windows, etc. He also presented a conceptual landscape
plan. Mr. Hessburg clarified that they figure it will cost $105,000 to implement operation of the
facility at this location. He emphasized that a building on this site with a permitted use could be
constructed right up to the southern property line. He confirmed that the building was constructed
in the 30's and that it is a sound structure. He believes this building could look very nice on this
property if it is done right. The Building Official commented that he conducted a superficial inspection
of the convent building, and commented that it is sound in structure, however, his inspection did not
include code compliance issues and noted that the services of an architect should be obtained to
review it for code analysis, state accessibility analysis, and an ADA analysis.
Hessburg reviewed the operation of the shelter and explained that the victims have policies and
procedures they are required to follow during their stay. He confirmed that people from other
communities could be staying at this shelter. Hessburg confirmed that Westonka Intervention will
intervene, when the need arises. Westonka Intervention is currently working with the Cities of
Mound, Minnetrista, St. Bonifacious, Orono, and Spring Park; they will probably expand into Long
Lake and Maple Plain. In five years, he expects that this shelter will also be turning people away.
Chair Michael referred to a packet information which the Planning Commission members received at
their homes, the packet is from Westonka Intervention Project dated April, 1994. This packet
answers many of the questions from that arose at the previous Planning Commission meeting.
Hessburg noted that they have packets available for anybody who wants one.
Dan Hessburg read a letter to the Commission dated April 25, 1994 to Mayor Skip Johnson from
Karen J. Anderson, Mayor for the City of Minnetonka encouraging Mound to support the efforts of
Westonka Intervention to open a women's shelter.
The following persons spoke in opposition of the request: Jim Welbourn, Deb Kramer, Sue Schebler,
Linda Swailes, Sandy Berkey, Joanne and Bernie Boeser, Richard Garozzo, Craig Goodrich, and Lyle
Fuller.
Reasons and concerns expressed from those opposing the application included:
Not good use for an entrance to Mound
Concern that aesthetics of property will not be maintained
Salt box type of structure not characteristic of area
Location not good for anonymity.
Library and three schools nearby, therefore lots of children traveling in the area by bike and
by foot. There is concern for children's safety, and concern for the privacy of the victims.
Security for the neighbors is a concern.
Concern about affect shelter will have on surrounding property values.
Location not right for shelter and the victims it will house because area children will be
tempted to put there noses where they do not belong. A secluded area is needed.
There have been less problems at the Plymouth shelter because of its prime location, it is more
secluded.
The application submitted is not valid due to lack of information and plans.
Planning Commission Minutes ~4pril 25, 1994
Concern about condition of contaminated soil; PCA will allow them to build at their own risk,
there is not guarantee that they will release the property within a year.
It was questioned if Fina donated the property for a tax write-off. No For Sale signs have
been posted on the property.
Comparisons were made to other shelters. It was noted that the shelter in Minnetonka is not
maintained, and the neighbors are unhappy with the shelter and are tired of fighting with the
City Hall on the issue.
Information submitted by those who opposed to the request included:
A letter from a PHD Licensed Psychologist was read by Jim Welbourn. The letter indicated
that perpetrators often find the location of where their victims are being held, and emphasized
that the proposed location of the shelter is not good. (A copy of this letter was not received
by staff.)
Minnetonka Police Department report dated 8/20/90 involving juveniles throwing rocks at a
residence near the Sojourner Shelter.
Minnetonka Police Department Incident Summaries of Sojourner Shelter.
Plymouth Police Department CFS Summaries relating to the Home Free shelter.
Police Activity report relating to the Lewis House was submitted by Joanne Boeser.
In addition to the applicant, Dan Hessburg, those who spoke in favor of the application included:
Mary Wiebusch, Jackie Meyer, Father Mike Tegeder, and Linda Karkula.
Reasons given for supporting the shelter included:
The security problems may be reduced due to the visibility of the property.
There is a need for a shelter in this area.
The neighbors fears come only from the unknown.
Information submitted by those who support the request included:
Letter from Mary Monteon, Program Director for Home Free dated 4-25-94.
Letter from Linda Karkula.
Three letters were received prior to the meeting and handed out to the Commissioners. These
letters were in support of the shelter, and were from: W.E.L.C.A. of St. Johns in support, Ann
Miller, in support, Letter dated April 25, 1994to Mayor Skip Johnson from Karen J. Anderson,
Mayor for the City of Minnetonka encouraging Mound to support the efforts of Westonka
Intervention to open a women's shelter.
A petition was also received by staff from Mr. Hessburg with 112 signatures. The petition
reads, "We the undersigned support the proposed establishment of the Westonka Intervention
Center and support the proposed location of said center across from the PDQ, in Mound."

SUB J: 1994 Annual Conference
GOVERNING YOUR CITY: IT'S A WHOLE NEW BAI,L GAME!
On behalf of the League of Minnesota Cities, I invite you to attend the League's 1994 Annual
Conference, June 7-10, at the St. Paul Civic Center.
As in past years, the Conference Planning Committee has put together another outstanding
program with sessions designed for both small and large cities, in greater Minnesota and the
metropolitan area. There is truly something for everyone.
In keeping with the theme, GOVERNING YOUR crrY: rl~ A WHOLE NEW BALL
GAME! St. Paul Saints president, Mike Veeck, will be the keynote speaker at the opening
session. Veeck will outline his recipe for success in this highly competitive world.
The Wednesday general session will be a dramatic presentation performed by the Theater for
Corporate and Community Education. The 20-minute play centers around the relationship
between abuse in the work place and in the home. The goal is to provide greater awareness
and sensitivity to the issues, and how it affects the work place.
Hal Schippits will address the Mayors Association/Mini-Conference Luncheon on Thursday,
with his presentation, "Attitude: It's all in your head!" Schippits' highly rated presentation at
the 1993 conference demanded this encore.
Based on Stephen Covey's book, "Seven Characteristics of Highly Effective People," the
finale session will provide a step-by-step guide to personal success. Presenter, Eric Krueger,
received his training at the Covey Leadership Center, and devotes his time teaching people
how to create organization wide leadership. You am encouraged to send your staff to lids
session. A special registration flyer for staff is included in this mailing.
A SPECIAL UPDATE FOR NEWLY E~ OFFICIALS IS SCHEDULEI) FOR
TUESDAY, JUNE 7. Although this program was created for elected officials in office two
years or less, any mayor or councilmember will find it of value. A flyer outlining the
program is enclosed. A detailed program will be sent to newly elected officials by April 30.
Mayor Norm Coleman and the City of St. Paul will welcome you as Minnesota's own,
Garrison Keillor, kicks off the conference on Tuesday evening, Sune 7, with his unique "Tales
from Lake Wobegon." Following the performance will be an old fashioned ice-cream social
at the World Trade Center.
City Night offers an opportunity to enjoy our heritage at the Minnesota History Center, view
the exhibits, and at the same time enjoy the tastes and sound of St. Paul's cultural diversity.
Caves, paddleboats, Omitheater, and Science Museum of Minnesota will keep your children
totally entertained on Wednesday as spouses enjoy their day. After touring the recently
renovated Como Park Conservatory, and a luncheon at the newly renovated Lakeside Pavilion
on Como Lake, lavish costumes will be modeled as "Stories of American Women" are
presented by a local historian. A drive-by tour of historic homes on Summit Avenue will top
off your day.
A detailed description of all sessions, along with the Family Program events and registration
is enclosed. Conference registration should be mailed to the League, and housin~ te~istmtign
to lhe addn~ss on lhe fo~.
The Exhibit Program is the largest ever, with over 130 exhibits. We encourage you and your
staff to take advantage of this unique opportunity to become familiar with new products and
technologies available to cities. Terrific door prizes are again being provided by the
Municipal Hos~s, along with portfolios and the Thursday reception.
Generous contributions have been offered by MINNEGASCO, the UNITED POWER
ASSOCIATION and NORTHERN STATES POWER for conference registration assistance.
Minnegasco is offering a $50 registration fee rebate to each city they serve, providing an
official from the city stop by the Minnegasco booth and register. Uniled Power Association
and Northern Stales Power would like to provide assistance to city officials whose city has
budget constraints. They will provide $50 per city towards the registration fee for the first 10
requests. MINNESOTA WOMEN IN CITY GOVERNMENT is offering two full conference

LMCIT Available at the Annual Conference to Answer Your Questions
Do you have questions about the League of Minnesota Cities Insurance Trust (LMCIT) programs
your City participates in?
Do you have suggestions for ways LMCIT could do a better job for you?
Do you have complaints about the service you've received?
If so, you're invited to stop by and talk with us about it. LMCIT will have a booth in the
exhibit area at the League's June Conference in St. Paul.
Again this year we'll have specialists in different aspects of LMCIT's operations available
at specific times to meet with you, answer your questions, and listen to your suggestions and
comments.
Underwriters from LMCIT's property/casualty, workers compensation, and employee
benefits programs'will be on hand Wednesday morning, June 8. They can answer questions
regarding premiums, how rates are figured, how your losses affect your premiums, what you might
be able to do to reduce the rates, how some changes you're considering might affect your rates,
etc. These people can also help you with coverage questions, and explain the meaning and
implications of some of the coverage options you have in the LMCIT programs.
On Wednesday afternoon, June 8, some of the people who handle employee benefits,
workers compensation, and property and liability claims will be on hand to answer your questions.
Stop by if you'd like to talk with us about how LMCIT handles and manages claims, and who to
talk to ff you have suggestions or questions about particular claims.
Thursday morning, June 9, the loss control folks will be available to talk with you about
employee safety and reducing hazards to the public, and answer questions about loss control
recommendations. There's a loss control aspect to health coverage as well and policy managers
are invited to talk with us about pre-certification for surgery or hospitalization, utilization review,
and other things we're trying to do to help keep health coverage costs under control.
Besides the specialists from Berkley Risk Services, Berkley Administrators, DCA, and
Willis Corroon, some of LMCIT's in-house staff members will be there as well. As always, we'll
have plenty of informational handouts available too. Please stop by. We'd like to hear from you
about what we're doing right and what you'd like to see us do differently. We also want to make
sure you have all the information you need about your LMCIT programs.

CERTIFIED PUBLIC Aceo
AND CONSULTANTS
Members of the City Council
City of Mound
Mound, Minnesota
In planning and performing our audit of the general purpose financial
statements of the City of Mound for the year ended December 31, 1993, we
considered its internal control structure in order to determine our auditing
procedures for the purpose of expressing our opinion on the financial
statements and not to provide assurance on the internal control structure. We
noted no matters involving the internal control structure and its operation
that we consider to be reportable conditions under standards established by
the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. Reportable conditions
involve matters coming to our attention relating to significant deficiencies
in the design or operation of the internal control structure that, in our
judgment, could adversely affect the City's ability to record, process,
summarize and report financial data consistent with the assertions of
management in the financial statements.
A material weakness is a reportable condition in which the design or operation
of one or more of the internal control structure elements does not reduce to a
relatively low level the risk that errors or irregularities in amounts that
would be material in relation to the financial statements being audited may
occur and not be detected within a timely period by employees in the normal
course of performing their assigned functions.
Our consideration of the internal control structure would not necessarily
dlsclose all matters in the internal control structure that might be
reportable conditions and, accordingly, would not necessarily disclose all
reportable conditions that are also considered to be material weaknesses as
defined above. We noted no reportable conditions that we believe to be
material weaknesses.
Other Matters
The following are areas that came to our attention during the audit that we
feel should be reviewed:
General Fund
The fund balance of the General Fund is divided into two components:
· Designated for severance pay, and
· Undesignated
The designated portion of fund balance is determined as follows:
1. The City's liability for compensated absences and vested severance pay
is computed at year end.
Member of American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Private Companies Practice Section
City of Mound
March 21, 1994
Page Two
2. The assets of the City's Pension Special Revenue Fund are applied
against the computed liability. The assets of this fund were completely
expended in 1993.
3. The balance required to fully fund the computed liability is the
designated fund balance of the General Fund.
The fund balance which remains after the designated amount for severance
pay is determined is the undesignated component of the fund balance.
The responsibility to fully fund the liability has shifted to the General
fund. The past three years indicate how the liability has continued to
shift to the General Fund.

103 233 106 475 140 373
56 720 58 260 61 410
With the depletion of the assets of the Pension Special Revenue Fund,
future severance expenditures will be financed by the General Fund.
The unreserved and undesignated fund balance the past six years is as
follows:
Year Ended
December 31, Amount
1993 $484 569
1992 471 469
1991 478 612
1990 542 766
1989 538 186
1988 671 022
The City must have a fund balance at year end sufficient to finance the
following year's expenditures until the major revenue sources become
available. The fund balance designated for severance pay, while
designated, is available for cash flow purposes. The fund balance
designated and undesignated combined represents approximately 28 percent of
1993 expenditures and transfers. The current General Fund fund balance may
not be adequate to provide the working capital needs.
Purposes and Benefits of a Fund Balance
Expenditures are incurred somewhat evenly throughout the year. However,
property tax and state aid revenues are not received until the second
half of the year. An adequate fund balance will provide the cash flow
required to finance the General Fund expenditures.
Jl,I I ! ti, ,11, I, I,,
City of Mound
March 21, 1994

AND Ct'~NSI. q_T& N'TS
The City is vulnerable to legislative actions at the State and Federal
level. Recent years hays seen the State continually adjusting the local
government aid and property tax credit formulas. An adequate fund
balance will provide a temporary buffer against those aid adjustments.
Expenditures not anticipated at the time the annual budget was adopted
may need immediate Council action. These would include capital outlay
replacement, lawsuits and other items. An adequate fund balance will
provide the financing needed for such expenditures.
A strong fund balance will assist the City in maintaining or improving
its bond rating.

The 1979 and 1981 Improvement Bonds were called for redemption in 1993.
The remaining assets in these two debt service funds totalled $722,533.
The entire remaining balance was transferred to the Municipal Building
Construction Capital Projects Fund.
According to the schedule, there are sufficient assets in the 1978 and 1980
Improvement Funds to retire the remaining bonds outstanding. As the final
payments are made on these issues, the remaining assets will be available
for any other public purpose.
The City also refinanced the 1985 G.O. Tax Increment Bonds and the 1988
G.O. Public Works Bonds to take advantage of lower interest rates that were
available during the year. The savings resulting from the refunding
transactions are reported in Note 16 to the financial statements.

Both the refunding transactions and the calls for early redemption have
improved the financial position of the City.
Capital Protects Funds
The remaining assets of the debt service funds have been transferred to the
Municipal Building Construction Fund. The fund balance of the Municipal
Building Construction Fund at year end was $970,500 with additional special
assessments of $323,129 yet to be collected.

to announce that we have won first place in the Senior

catagory of Community Partnerships. We were honored in
April at the National Conference on Aging in Washington, DC
for our national award and will receive our state
recognition on Friday, May 20th at the Minnesota Board on
Aging meeting in St. Paul.
These achievements would not have been possible without
the help of all of our funders, sponsors and our two
business partners..Meisel Hardware and CR Manufacturing. We
would like to officially celebrate these honors on a local
level with our elected officials and dignitaries and invite
you to attend a brief ceremony at 7:00 pm on Monday, May
23rd at the Westonka Senior Center, 5600 Lynwood Boulevard

all of you for the many years of confidence you have shown
to us. After the ceremony we will celebrate with ice cream
sundaes.
