4310 Shoreline Drive
Paul Meisel was present. He was requesting a permanent sign for his
building to face Shoreline Drive. They now have an existing sign at
the top of their pylon, he felt this sign on the building would help
their customers more easily locate their building. Olson and Bredeson
questioned the colors on the pylon sign, they felt they did not
fit the scheme of the Beautification Plan colors. Meisel stated he was
aware of the Beautification Plan and he felt the colors were in confor-
mance with the Plan. The Commissioners requested when the signs are
re -painted Mr. Meisel consider the grays and blues suggested in the
Beautification Plan. He stated he would.

original variance. The RDP Partners were seeking an extension on the
37 foot set back from the lake rather than the required 50 foot set back,
they also requested the alternate parking plan as recommended by the
City Planner be updated. RDP Partners presented updated permits from
the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District and the Department of Natural
Resources. They stated there is 24,000 square feet in the building
and 19,000 rentable square feet. They explained the parking plan and
also problems they are having trying to find financing for the project,
they stated they are looking at any alternative for financing. The
Commissioners felt the project had been approved and saw no reason to
deny extension of the variance or the parking plan.
Motion by Dietz second by Klohn to recommend approval of the variance
and the parking plan. Upon roll call Van Beek, Klohn, Olson, Dietz,
and Bredeson all voted aye. Motion declared carried.
b) Beautification Plan Discussion
Van Beek reported he has been in contact with the City Manager of Mound.
Mound had approached property owners along Shoreline Drive and found
there was very little interest in the Beautification Plan. Orono had
also been contacted and they reported most of their property owners
along Shoreline Drive are absentee owners and had no interest in the
Plan and there is no available money within the City.
The Commissioners then determined they would consider what could be
done in Spring Park. Van Beek suggested banners that could be changed
several times a year. A contest was suggested for a new logo. Re -paint-
ing the water tower with a new logo, park benches, signs, fund raisers,
promotions and donations were discussed. Dietz inquired about the park
survey and what happened to the suggestions relating to it.
Bredeson will discuss the implementation of the Beautification Plan
with the Council on January 21st.
The Commissioners discussed the approved variance at 2463 Black Lake
Road, they felt there was not a hardship involved.

c) Beautification Plan - Jean Mork Bredeson
Jean Mork Bredeson was present to represent the Planning Commission.

tion Plan and how the Commissioners could activiate the Plan. She
was seeking support and comments from the Council. Bredeson stated
the following: Mound and Orono felt they had completed what they in-
tended to do towards the Beautification Plan. The Westonka Chamber
is holding approximately $500.00 for Spring Park from donations, this
money would be reimbursed to the City upon receipt of money spent for
beautification on Shoreline Drive. She suggested a new logo for Spring
Park and a possible contest for the new logo.
The Mayor stated the idea was admirable and Council appreciated the
work the Commissioners had done, but Shoreline Drive has a lot of
private property, he also suggested other areas which need improvements,
such as West Arm Road, and maybe a logo for all of the Westonka area
should be considered.
• Bredeson said the Commissioners would like to first focus on the entry
points to Spring Park and get people interested in the plan and hope
the other Communities would follow. She suggested short term items
such as plantings, banners for the street poles, a garden club and
benches, items that would not cost a lot of money.
Motion by Weeks second by Widmer to encourage the Planning Commission
to start with the Beautification Plan and offer their support. In
discussion the Mayor suggested it should be decided how much money
would be spent. Dietz inquired how the Council felt about a new logo.
It was determined Weeks would add to the motion any money that was to
be spent would jointly be approved by the Council and the Planning
Commission. All votes were aye. Motion declared carried. Council
will consider the suggestions and have a response ready for the next
meeting.

Jack Dennis from RDP Partners was present to update the Council. RDP
Partners has resubmitted building plans for a proposed Yacht Club
located east of the Edgewater Apartments. Mr. Dennis stated the build-
ing size will remain the same but the proposed wood decks will now be
verandas, the windows are flush with the building. The plan also has
a clock in the front of the building. A new survey has been done and
the high water mark located. There are currently 119 parking stalls.
The plan has been approved by the DNR. A letter dated March 20, 1989
from the DNR stated an environmental impact statement would not be
necessary. Mr. Dennis stated a 13 foot variance on the lake side was
needed and he was asking the Council for their advice. He will seek
a variance and will go thru the procedure for obtaining variances re-
garding the set back. The building is 69% leased, but 80% is needed
before construction will begin, Edina Realty will lease the 1st floor.
Construction is expected to start in March of 1991.
Rockvam and Weeks stated they did not see a problem with the required
variance because the building will be set back more from the lake
than the Water Patrol and the Edgewater Apartments.
Mr. Dennis inquired about installing the dock before the building is
completed. The Administrator checked the zoning ordinance for uses
in a C-4 district and it was determined this would be a legal issue,

b) Beautification Plan - Jean Mork Bredeson
Jean Mork Bredeson was present to represent the Planning Commission.
At the last meeting Council had decided to consider the Beautifica-
tion Plan and decide if they wanted a new logo for the City or in-
volve all of the Westonka area.
Bredeson stated the Commissioners had decided to focus only on Spring
Park. She suggested a new logo could be used when the City truck and
the water tower are re -painted, and stationery could be changed when
the current supply is depleted. She suggested the change could be
phased in slowly, and possibly start with a logo on banners. A
contest would determine a winner of a new logo, with a final decision
by the Council. Flyers, The Laker Newspaper and the Chamber of
Commerce could help to advertise a contest, and the winner would re-
ceive a prize through donations. She stated all of the Westonka area
could be involved with ideas for a logo, this would draw on more
resources.
The Mayor cautioned about using taxpayer money for this and felt
Spring Park does not have an identity problem. Thurk asked about
maintenance. Council decided the Commissioners needed to come up
with an overall game plan and an approach, then present it to the
• Council again.

• 4. ZONING/SHORELAND ORDINANCE - Preliminary Draft
Alan Brixius and Allan Hunting from Northwest Associated Consultants,
Inc. and Ken Larson, the City Attorney were present.
DISCUSSION & COMMENTS
Alan Brixius stated he has changed previous concerns discussed, such
as ordinary high water setback, this was changed so the intent was to
make sure that all existing high density residential development does
not become non -conforming and limited to future development.
The proposed Ordinance is being reviewed by the City Attorney. In a
letter dated March 6, 1992 Ken Larson suggested modifications to make
the Ordinance more clear. He also suggested items that needed more
discussion and input.
The Planners questioned if the City would permit private wells on new
development in the manufacturing district or require hook up to muni-
cipal sewer and water? It was determined all new development should
be required to hook up to the municipal water and sewer.
Dimensions of the aisles for off street parking will be included
in the proposed Ordinance.

specifically defined. He stated set backs are measured fom the edge
of the road.

uses. The Administrator stated an appeal process is always open if the

Larson stated the word "otherwise" should be deleted. Weeks suggested

expanded into the required set back areas."
Larson questioned the wording in Section 15 G 6 (b) - He was asking about
roadways within bluffs and shore impact zones, should a variance be
needed? It was determined a variance would not be required and it would
be an Administrative decision. The Planner will add some requirements
to this section.
Section 15 - Subd. I 3 (b) - Essential Services - This will be reworded
to read - "Approval by the Engineer then approved by the Zoning Adminis-
trator."
Section 15 L 4 (b) - Larson suggested this language be changed, deleting
the words "smallest" and "shortest."
Section 15 M - Storm Water Management -
Imprevious surface percentages have been removed.
Section 18 - Subd. D(l) -
Larson suggested adding Section 18 "C".
Section 19 - Subd. B - (1) - Larson stated the Staff should not be required
to make any findings of fact. This will be removed.
The Planner inquired if the proposed Ordinance should be sent to the
DNR first or if a public hearing should be scheduled? It was determined
the proposed Ordinance should be reviewed first by the DNR.
It was noted the proposed Storm Water Management Plan has been submitted
to the Watershed District.

After Hours Liquor Violations In 1990
DISCUSSION AND COMMENTS
The public hearing was opened at 7:32 p.m. by Mayor Rockvam.
Dolores, Patrick McGinnis and their attorney, Rick Rodney were present.
A certified letter dated April 16, 1992 had been sent to Dolores McGinnis
informing her of the public hearing imposed against P.M. Pizza Enter-
prises, Inc. for violations against their liquor license, during the
time the business was under of the management of William McNamee,
The Administrator read a letter Dolores McGinnis had sent to the Mayor
and the Council which was dated April 17, 1992, the letter updated them
on events. She explained they had not received notification of the
charges that happened when McNamee was running the business. The notices
had been sent by the Orono Police Department to the place of business
and not the P.M. Pizza Enterprises, Inc. address, therefore they had no
knowledge of the violations. A memo from Gregory Keller, the City's
prosecuting attorney, dated May 29, 1991 listed in chronological order
the liquor violations which the attorney was aware of. The list was
read by the Mayor.
E
CITY OF SPRING PARK

The Mayor stated Council was not aware McNamee had taken over the business
because the liquor license had been issued to McGinnis and the City
would not have transferred the license to McNamee.
Dolores McGinnis and her attorney explained the plan was to hire William
McNamee as a manager to run the business and if it was workable he would
then buy the business. The City had asked many times who was responsible
for the liquor license and they were always told McGinnis was. Dolores
McGinnis explained these negotiations to sell the business were after
the liquor license had been issued and they did not intend any deception.
Widmer stated he did sympathize with them but they are still responsible
for employees. The Mayor referred to a letter from Ken Larson, the City
attorney, dated April 30th, 1992, he read the Minnesota Statute §340A.415
and Ordinance 41, Section 10 quoted in the letter and stated Council had
to take some form of action. The Mayor asked if there were any other
comments. Weeks stated McGinnis should have gotten copies of the letters
and expressed concern that McGinnis had not received the notices.
Motion by Widmer second by Thurk to impose a $1000.00 fine with $750.00
stayed for one year if there are no further charges or violations. Upon
roll call Rockvam, Weeks, Thurk and Widmer all voted aye. Motion declared
carried.
• The Mayor stated a meeting was needed with the Police Department to de-
termine why the notices were not mailed certified to McGinnis at their
address. The Administrator stated she would send a letter to McGinnis
about the fine imposed.

NOTICE OF HEARING ON IMPROVEMENTS
NOTICE is hereby given that the City Council of the City of Spring Park will
meet in the Council chambers of the City Hall at 7:30 p.m. on Monday, May 11,
1992, to consider the making of an improvement on Lafayette Lane between
King's Road and the west line of Lot 10, Minnetonka Park and on King's Road
between CSAH 15 and Lafayette Lane, pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Sections
429.011 to 429.111. The area proposed to be assessed for such improvement

provement is $82,550.00. Such persons as desire to be heard with the re-
ference to the proposed improvement will be heard at this meeting.

on the property to be assessed. Notice was sent to the affected property

•
CITY OF SPRING PARK
PUBLIC HEARING - May 11, 1992
Page 2
The City Engineer, Ken Adolf from Schoell & Madson, Inc. presented slides
on a projector describing the improvements and the benefitting property
owners effected. Adolf stated the following: The project is part of a
City wide drainage improvement process. Kings Road will be 25 feet wide
and Lafayette Lane will be 20 feet wide. The roadway will have a 8 inch
base and 4 inches of bituminous, the curb and gutter will be surmountable
concrete. The project had been discussed a year ago, but necessary ease-
ments were needed, they have now been obtained, one shed will be removed
to widen the road. Total probable cost will be $82,550, $20,000 will be
City funding, $20,160 costs are to be assessed to the benefitting property
owners based on front footage, $44,390 is also paid by the City for drain-
age construction. The zoning factor was also taken into consideration, in
a R-1 district a 1.0 multiplier was used and in a R-2 district a 1.5 mul-
tiplier is used, which would be approximately $17.03 per foot. He stated
the property along the ponding area had not been assessed. The Mayor ex-
plained the difference in the zoning districts.
Bud Groth, 4469 Lafayette Lane questioned who had made the decision not to
assess Presbyterian Homes? The Engineer stated the ponding area was con-
structed by Ortenblad for drainage in the whole area (the City has an ease-
ment) and he did not feel they are benefitting from the improvements be-
cause they do not use the road, therefore it would not benefit their property,
and a special assessment needs to benefit the property owner. The Mayor
• stated if the property were to be developed they would need access to CSAH
15, some assurance would be needed that they do not intend to use Lafayette
Lane. Several people felt the north side of the street containing the pond
needed to be re -assessed. Groth also asked if parking would be allowed
along the street. The Engineer said no. Groth stated he was not opposed
to the project.
Widmer inquired about the liability on the ponding area. It was deter-
mined the tax rolls would be checked.
Keith Kask, a property owner on Kings Road stated he would like to see
the water run-off improved, curb and gutter would be nice, but it is an
expensive project but maybe in the future he would consider a duplex on
the property.
Donald Sorensen, 4437 Lafayette Lane stated he is opposed to the curb
and gutter but would like to see more basins, he felt an alley would be
sufficient. The Engineer stated six inch curb was planned to help control
the water and if Presbyterian Homes is assessed they should have access to
the road. It was determined the developers agreement with Ortenblad would
be checked. Sorensen also asked if the residents would be able to get in
and out. The Engineer said it would take about a month and only a few
days access would be difficult.
Sue Hartley, 4413 Lafayette Lane suggested Presbyterian Homes be at least
approached to pay part or the full assessment and she is not opposed to
Isthe project but wants it done in a way to save money. Widmer questioned
how much this would reduce the other assessments if Presbyterian Homes
were to pay assessments.

Mr. Curti, 4445 Lafayette Lane inquired about the break down of cost for
curb and gutter. He also asked about surmountable curb where ever possible.
The Engineer suggested to the residents that they could have the property
appraised to determine the land value with or without the curb and gutter.
The Mayor stated the drainage project could be done and the street could be
patched, but the residents would have to decide what they want.
The Mayor stated these things needed to be done:
1. Assess Presbyterian Homes for one 50 foot lot.
2. Have a meeting with Presbyterian Homes to discuss ingress and egress.
3. Add additional drains where streets intersect.
The Mayor asked if there were any other comments. Mr. Sorensen said he
wished the other people involved would have attended the meeting.

by the Welcome to Spring Park signs. A letter dated May 11, 1992
was received from Carlson Real Estate granting permission to build
a planter around the City sign on their property at the west end
of Spring Park. Olson stated she has been unable to contact the
person about the sign on the east side of Spring Park, therefore
she was seeking approval from the Council to install only one
planter at this time. The proposed installed planter will be
8 X 4 timbers and 1 foot above the sidewalk. Olson stated it would
require low maintenance and the Shoreline Nursery will maintain it
for one year. It will be painted gray, filled with dirt, landscape
fabric and gray rock, it will contain 2 Junipers and a mixture of
red and white flowers at a cost of $693.00. Olson stated the
Planning Commission is seeking a garden club to maintain the planter
in the future.

four sources. The lowest price was from the local company, West-
onka Screen Prints, at a cost of $34.74 per banner. This would
include the fabric, hemming, the grommets and the new logo printed
on them. Olson reported this is the same type of fabric used on the
Christmas banners, and the Commissioners would like the banners up
during the Spring season. The Utility Superintendent questioned if
the rods for hanging them were included in the price? Olson will
check to see if they are included. Olson reminded the Council when
they are considering a logo to pick one that would be adoptable to
the banners.

The Mayor opened the public hearing at 7:32 p.m., with the roll call re-
maining the same as above. Debbie and Richard Almquist were present.
The following notice was read by the Mayor and was published in the Laker
Newspaper:
NOTICE OF HEARING ON 3.2 ON SALE BEER LICENSE
NOTICE is hereby given that the City Council will hold a public
hearing on Monday, June 1, 1992 at 7:30 p.m. at the Spring Park
City Hall, 4349 Warren Avenue, to consider an application for a
3.2 On Sale Beer License for the following person:

for operation in the premises at: LAKEVIEW PIZZA, 4032 Shoreline Drive

DISCUSSION & COMMENTS
• A background investigation had been conducted on Debra Eileen Almquist
(applicant) by Chief Stephen X. Sullivan from the Orono Police Department,
and he reported she has been found to be a citizen in good standing in the
community. Chief Sullivan had no objection to the issuance of a 3.2 On
C�
CITY OF SPRING PARK
PUBLIC HEARING & REGULAR MEETING - June 1, 1992
Page 2
Sale Beer License for Debbie Almquist. The Administrator reported there
has been no correspondence in writing or otherwise at the City office for
or against the consideration of the 3.2 On Sale Beer License. The Mayor
reported he had been contacted by the Minnetonka Mist, 4050 Shoreline Drive,
and they are opposed to the issuance of the license. He also reported he
has had complaints about the parking problems in that area.
Mr. Almquist stated he has been trying to educate his customers as to where
they can park, he has also installed signs to indicate where they want their
customers to park. He could not stripe the parking lot because it is dirt,
and he could not mark all the spaces because there had been a fish house
there.
The Administrator reminded them the City has signed papers stating the
employees from the Bait Store and the Lakeview Pizza will park behind
the Post Office in 5 designated, leased spaces. The Almquists said they
have had someone in the parking lot to monitor the parking, they also have
a sign on the door and they have told all their delivery trucks not to use
the Mist parking spaces. They felt the parking problem was getting better.
They both stated they are trying to get along with the neighboring businesses
and only want a beer license for convenience and did not want people sitting
around drinking beer. They also discussed the possibility of a drive thru
to accommodate the Bait Store, this would elimate two parking spaces, this
seemed to be agreeable with the Almquists.
The Mayor suggested all the businesses in the area get together and resolve
the parking issue, he said the Minnetonka Mist and Lord Fletcher's have
more than adequate parking at great expense, and it would not be fair to
expect them to give up their parking spaces to another business. The Mayor
suggested these items be resolved: 1. Identify the employee parking spaces.
2. Have the Bait Store live up to their agreement. 3. Have the area in the
front of the building striped for a drive thru and allow one space for park-
ing. 4. Put a sign on the door requesting customers use the Pizza designated
parking spaces. Council decided the staff would try to work with the business-
es and work out the parking problems and the agreements that had been proposed.
The Mayor asked if there were any other comments regarding the issuance of
the 3.2 On Sale Beer License. There were none.
CLOSE PUBLIC HEARING
Motion by Widmer second by Weeks to close the public hearing at 8:11 p.m.
All votes were aye. Motion declared carried.
The regular meeting was re -convened at 8:12 p.m., with the roll call
remaining the same.

5. PETITIONS, REQUESTS & APPLICATIONS
Motion by Widmer second by Weeks to approve the issuance of the 3.2
On Sale Beer License at 4032 Shoreline Drive for Debra Almquist. All
votes were aye. Motion declared carried.
a) Agreement with Presbyterian Homes for Lafayette Lane and King's Road
Project
Council had requested a written agreement be obtained from Presbyterian
Homes stating they did not intend to use Lafayette Lane. Council felt
this agreement should be made before proceeding with the project. The
City Attorney has contacted Presbyterian Homes, but the agreement has
not yet been received. The Engineer stated Presbyterian Homes should
not be assessed for the property that the holding pond is on because
the road improvements would not benefit Presbyterian Homes, he suggested
the specs and the bidding process could be started to conserve time,
and the Council could still refuse the bids at any time.
Mr. Roland Tessier, 2393 Kings Road was present, he did not understand
the assessment. The City Engineer explained the calculations to him.
Regina Sorensen, 4429 Lafayette Lane was also present. She questioned
• why she was assessed at a different rate for the property she owned on
the north side of Lafayette Lane. The Engineer explained assessments
were determined on the zoning. He also explained the total improvements
cost is $82,550 and the assessed amount is $20,160, and there would be
an assessment hearing when the project is completed. Mr. Tessier asked
if a tree on his property would be removed? The Engineer said that would
depend on the road but they may be able to save it.
Motion by Weeks second by Widmer to instruct the Engineer to prepare
the documents for bidding. All votes were aye. Motion declared carried.
The Engineer stated the documents will be ready for the next meeting.
b) Westonka Sanitation - Spring Clean -Up
It was noted the amount due was $3532.00 which exceeded the bid price
of $2780.00 because of the large number of appliances, tires, couches
and mattresses that were picked up. Council noted $8,000.00 had been
put in the budget for the Spring and Fall Pick Up.
c) Building Application - Non -conforming Deck
Mr. Mark Breneman, 4014 Sunset Drive has applied for a building permit
to construct a deck which would encroach into the side yard setbacks
six feet on each side. He explained this would be a second story deck
over an existing concrete slab that was left when the original cabin
• was demolished. The Building Inspector felt this needed a variance.
CITY OF SPRING PARK
PUBLIC HEARING & REGULAR MEETING - June 1, 1992
• Page 4
Mr. Breneman stated when the 2nd story was added to the house a couple
of years ago, it was his intention to add the deck at a later time, it
would still be set back from the sight line, the neighbors had no
problem with his plans and it was still within the foot print of the
original building.
No deck had been mentioned on the plans when Mr. Breneman put on the
second story. The Mayor explained there was a difference and unless
he wanted a ground level deck a variance would be required. The
Council determined a variance is needed.
d) Miscellaneous
Mr. Breneman reported one of his neighbors is renting out dock spaces
and their dock also encroaches into the ten foot setback area. This
will be reported to the LMCD.
6. ORDINANCES & RESOLUTIONS - None
7. REPORTS OF OFFICERS & COMMITTEES
a) Mayor
The Mayor and the Council noted a letter dated May 28, 1992 from Allan
• Hunting from Northwest Associated Consultants, this letter had been
sent to the DNR. Council requested a report, the Mayor suggested
Alan Brixius be invited to the next Administrative Committee meeting.
b) Council
Weeks, Dill and Widmer had no reports.
Thurk
Thurk asked if any new information had been obtained from the Yacht
Club. They will be contacted.
c) Engineer
Ken Adolf the City Engineer had prepared a letter for the Council re-
garding Well No. 2 repairs. The pump was pulled last week by Bergerson-
Caswell, Inc., the contractor. The well was pumping sand therefore the
Engineers recommended the well be cleaned and televised to find the
source of the sand. Replacement parts will be more than anticipated.
Estimated costs will now be $10,269.00.
d) Utility Superintendent
Goman reported Northern Avenue is being patched. He asked about using

d) Alice Schultze - 4357 Channel Road
Alice and Barry Schultze were present. They had applied for a build-
ing permit to allow repairs and replace an existing deck that is de-
teriorated. The deck is non -conforming, it encroaches seven feet

is perraitted. The Schultzes' also want to extend another 10 foot,
ground level deck, towards the lake, next to the other deck they are
0 replacing, this deck was not approved. Mrs. Schultze then requested
to appear before the Council. She explained this would only be a
platform, there have been stones and shrubs there for years, it would
not be hooked to anything and is moveable, she felt there is a mis-
understanding and this is permissible, she did not see a problem, and
they would remove the plastic from under the stones.
Weeks stated he felt this needed a variance. Mrs. Schultze said they
are on a time schedule and could not hold up the project for three
months, she asked if they could build the ground level deck then
remove it if it is not approved?
Motion by Rockvam second by Dill to agree to let the Schultzes' build
the 10 X 14 ground level deck provided they apply for a variance,
remove the plastic and put the deck over the stone area and are will-
ing to take the risk of removal, at their expense, if the variance
is not approved. The Mayor suggested a temporary building permit
be issued. Rockvam, Dill and Widmer voted aye. Weeks voted no.
The motion was declared carried.

g) Drew Wilkinson - Request for Stump Processing

was requesting approval of a stump transfer station at the train
depot on Sunset Drive. He presented a letter with his request and
information stating the tree stumps would be hauled by truck to the
depot and loaded on a railroad flat car and be hauled by rail to a
storage facility in Mayer. He stated someone would be at the depot
to control the transfer station. Weeks inquired if other equipment
would also be needed or stored there? Mr. Wilkinson stated no, and
the area is zoned commercial.
Council noted this was a use that is not specifically provided for
in the zoning districts, therefore it should be considered prohibited.
Motion by Rockvam second by Widmer to instruct the Administrator to
contact the City Attorney about the use. The Mayor asked Mr. Wilkin-
son if he would approve paying for the Attorney's service. Mr.
Wilkinson did not approve it. The motion was declared carried.
Mr. Wilkinson will be contacted at a later date.
h) Letter - Hennepin County Public Works - Lane Usage

4. DISCUSSION ON VARIANCES - Nancy Beck
This meeting was designed to help the new persons on the Council and Plann-
ing Commission with decisions pertaining to variance applications.
Nancy Beck from Head, Hempel, Seifert and Vander Weide was present.
A list of questions regarding variances from the former Planning Commission
Chairman, Shavlik, were discussed. Nancy Beck had prepared a folder on
zoning matters for each of the Council and Planning Commissioners, this
included public hearings, variances and conditional use permits. Beck
also gave the Council and Planning Commission a Citizens Guide To Plann-
ing and Zoning Functions, which she had gotten from the City of Elk River,
this included procedures for public hearings. Beck relayed these items:
It is important to record the public hearing and have a complete record
for any court action that may occur. Everyone at the hearing should be
given the opportunity to speak, a prepared finding of fact is important.
It is the Planning Commission's job to conduct the public hearing and
Council's job to make a decision, if all the issues are not covered the
Council would need to conduct another public hearing.
The Findings of Fact should include these items:
The proposed action will not:
1. Impair an adequate supply of light and air to adjacent property.
2. Unreasonably increase the congestion in the public street.
• 3. Increase the danger of fire or endanger the public safety.
4. Unreasonably diminish or impair established property values within
the neighborhood, or in any other way be contrary to the intent of
the Ordinance.

SPECIAL MEETING - COUNCIL & PLANNING COMMISSION - June 29, 1992

5. Violate the intent and purpose of the City's Comprehensive Plan.
If the Planning Commission failed to address this list of items the
variance should not be granted because then there would not be a complete
record. Nancy Beck also stated it is the responsibility of the applicant
to furnish requirements to obtain a variance. She stated a variance is a
modification of the strict enforcement of a provision of the Zoning Ord-
inance where strict enforcement would cause undue hardship to a property
owner because of circumstances or conditions unique to the property. A
hardship is for the property not the property owner. Economic reasons
can be considered a component of a hardship but should not be the only
issue. Variances could also be granted with certain conditions attached.
The applicant should be requesting a minimum variance and everyone should
be treated equal. Health, safety and welfare are important when consider-
ing a variance. A nonconforming building should not be granted a variance
unless undue hardship is shown. It is also important to be consistent.
A sick person asking for a variance because of some type of illness would
not be considered a reason for a variance because that is not a hardship
related to the property.
Council asked about a variance given for a deck and later turned into a
room. Nancy Beck stated it should be written on the permit that it is only
to be used for a deck. Also, if a variance is required, a hardship must be
shown by the applicant. The issue of neighbors approving or disapproving
of a variance was also discussed. A decision can not be made primarily on
what the neighbors think, however, their opinions should be taken into
consideration. The Administrator asked about building upwards on a noncon-
forming lot. Beck said the Zoning Ordinance provides that a nonconformity
can't be increased. Blocking the view of the lake was discussed. Widmer
stated he felt this would de -value a property. Also discussed were setbacks,
where adjacent structures within the same block have setbacks from the lake
different from those required, the minimum setbacks from the lake shall be
the average of the adjacent structure. The Mayor suggested some of these
items be put on the Pending Project List. Beck stated it is important not
to be arbitrary.
The Planning Commission asked Council
is looking for. The Mayor stated the
job and he looks for a hardship. The
communications are needed between the
they would like a memo why the Council
cussion ended at 9:15 p.m.
5. LOGO SELECTION
to give them ideas on what the Council
Planning Commission does an excellent
Commissioners also stated better
Planning Commission and the Council,
had made such a decision. The dis-
Council had requested re -consideration of the logos, copies were made for
them to review. Bredeson asked the Council to consider a logo that could
CITY OF SPRING PARK
SPECIAL MEETING - COUNCIL & PLANNING COMMISSION - June 29, 1992

be recognized at a distance and also one that could be put on banners.
The Council considered modifying a few of the entries. The logos had been
numbered and Thurk stated she liked logo number 10.
Motion by Thurk second by Widmer to select logo number 10 done by James
Kangas. Two votes were aye. All other votes were no. The motion was
declared to fail.
The Mayor suggested maybe the City should design the logo. The Administrator
suggested a winner be selected for the logo contest.
Motion by Dietz second by Westman to declare James Kangas the winner and
declare logos numbered 2 - 5 and 10 a tie. Entries 2 - 5 and 10 were all
belonging to James Kangas. Upon roll call Rockvam, Weeks, Thurk, Dill, Klohn,
Olson, Dietz and Westman voted aye. Widmer and Bredeson abstained. Motion
declared carried.

year the City was incorporated would be used.

ing. He stated Lift No. 7 is now shut down to determine if this may be

which would be satisfactory to both parties. The following changes were
suggested by the DNR:
1. Lot Width in Residential zones be adopted. Brixius recommended setting
standards for new lots created in R-1 and R-2 zones.

existing R-3 development should not be able to re-establish existing
water front setbacks automatically if they are less than 50 feet
from the water. The Mayor inquired about a trade-off for this.

truction and changing the language. He also added building codes

3. Multiple Family Density - The DNR is concerned that any redevelop-
ment of the Advance Machine or Balboa property with residential
will further increase densities.
Open Space Requirements - Multiple family developments shall contain
open space of at least 25%.
4. Impervious Surface - The R-1 district will be limited to 25% im-
pervious surface. Impervious surface greater than 75% would be
allowed if stipulations are met, this would also require a review
by the City Engineer and the Watershed.
5. Building Height - The Planner's inventory in R-3 determined typical
building height is now 35 feet. The Planner suggested lowering the
height requirements.
6. Definitions - The definition of impervious surface was worded as:
Any structure or surface which interferes to any degree with the
direct absorption of water into the ground, including but not
limited to roofs, sidewalks, paved driveways and parking areas,
patios, tennis courts, swimming pools, or any other similar surface.
7. Restaurant Parking - It was noted employee parking needed to be
addressed. The Planner will correct this.
Brixius reported the next meeting will be on September 22nd. He will
then address small lots, if they comply with the set backs they could
possibly get a variance for impervious surface. Brixius will send the
revisions to the Council.
Motion by Rockvam second by Widmer to instruct Brixius to proceed with
the changes outlined at this meeting, take them to the TRC, then return
to the Council before the flexibility requests are sent to the neighbor-
ing Cities. All votes were aye. Motion declared carried.
c) Letter From Tonka Bay - Re: Shoreland Management
Tonka Bay had sent their flexibility requests to the City for review.
The Mayor requested a letter be sent to Tonka Bay stating our Council
feels they are capable of making their own decisions. Tonka Bay's
requests for flexibility are similar to Spring Park's requests.
d) Division/Combination of Railroad Tax Parcels - George Norling
Mr. Norling sent a letter dated September 1, 1992 requesting a division/
combination of parcels. He is purchasing property from the railroad on

• a) Claim for Payment - Schoell & Madson, Inc.
At the last meeting the Council had requested more information on the
cost over -runs for the Lafayette Lane and King's Road project. It was
noted most of these fees are for field observation. In a letter from
Schoell & Madson dated October 29, 1992 the Engineer stated the follow-
ing contributed to the high fee:
1. Preparation of three feasibility studies.
2. Extensive coordination with utility companies.
3. Restaking due to lost stakes and some redesign.
4. Property corners being located in the street requiring location
and obtaining ties and then resetting after construction.
5. Full-time construction observation for an extended construction
period. This included public relations work with the affected
residents. Typically only part-time observation is provided.
The Council noted there had been no mention of the cost over -runs when
the construction company had requested an extension on the time limit.
This item will be put back on the agenda.
b) Letter - Chief Sullivan - 11/18/92
A letter from Chief Sullivan, dated November 18, 1992 was informing
the Council a violation had occurred, cigarettes had been sold to a
juvenile at Brooks Food (Spur.) The employee will not be prosecuted
at this time, because this had been an undercover operation, if this
is
happens again they will be cited.

OPEN PUBLIC HEARING - TRUTH IN TAXATION
DISCUSSION & COMMENTS
Is The Mayor announced the roll call will remain the same for the public
hearing and requested that anyone speaking give their name and address.
Hennepin County mailed individual proposed notices to each property
owner. The City office received one letter, from Mike Savage, 4688
West Arm Road requesting more information on the budget. Several
people had called asking about the date and time of the public hearing.
The following notice was published in the Laker Newspaper on November 23,
1992:
NOTICE OF PROPOSED PROPERTY TAXES
The Spring Park city council will soon hold a public budget hearing
to vote on the amount of property taxes to collect to pay for services
the city will provide in 1993.
ATTEND THE PUBLIC HEARING
All Spring Park residents are invited to attend the public hearing to
express their opinions on the budget and the proposed amount of property
taxes on: Monday, November 30 - 7:30 p.m. - Spring Park City Hall -
4349 Warren Avenue, Spring Park.
The Mayor explained the amount of the taxes proposed in August was only
an estimated amount because all figures for 1993 had not been received,
so the proposed amount would not be accurate. The Mayor and the Council
had a goal to reduce the Spring Park budget 2%, after calculations the
• budget had been reduced 3%.
CITY OF SPRING PARK
PUBLIC HEARING - TRUTH IN TAXATION - November 30, 1992
• Page 2
The following persons stated they were concerned about the increase in
the City tax:
Carl Pumilia - 4740 West Arm Road - He stated his proposed City tax had
increased 26%.
Tom Cogan - 2473 Black Lake Road - He stated he had purchased his home
about 21/2 years ago and the taxes have gone up $200.00 each year, the
City needs to have new businesses move into the area to build up the tax
base. He also stated he had not received or been notified sooner of the
tax increase. He asked about the valuation of homes and suggested the
City issue more liquor and dance license to bring in more revenue.
Brad Berland - 2400 Kings Road - He stated his City portion of taxes
for the City increased 52%, his taxes were up $226.00.
Corinne Milovich - 4684 West Arm Road - She stated she had a 37% increase
in the City taxes.
Jan Anderson - 4772 West Arm Road - She stated her increase was 27% and she
felt the values of the townhomes had not gone up 27%.
Wendy Berg - 4309 Channel Road - She said her increase was 19% and her
• market value had decreased.
Kathi Olson - 4580 West Arm Road - She was concerned about the Presbyterian
Nursing Home. They are a non-profit group, therefore tax exempt for the
nursing home only.
Wm. Bartell - 2398 Black Lake Road - His percentage was up 33%.
In response to the questions raised the Mayor and the Council were concerned
with the extreme range of percentages and why they are not equal. The
Administrator explained it should be recognized Spring Park has lost tax
capacity, reducing the market values to the extent of approximately 71/2
million. This resulted because of the Advance Machine building being
demolished, the apartments buildings being de -valued and the nursing home
being tax exempt, however Presbyterian Homes has agreed to pay the City
each year for services from the City. The Administrator stated Spring
Park's market value in 1991 was $67,205,500 and in 1992 it was $59,692,200.
Weeks stated the City's expenses are down 17% and $37,000 had been dropped
from the budget.
It was determined that each person that had brought their notice from the
County be copied so figures could be checked and a response from the
County be received as to how these figures were formulated. Therefore
Resolution 92-2.4- Adopting the 1993 Budget was postponed until the re-
convened meeting which will be on December 16th.

5. MISCELLANEOUS
Brad Berland requested information on how to obtain a vacation of a 30
foot long strip of property between his home and 4405 Lafayette Lane.
Tom Cogan asked how he could accomplish having Black Lake Road re -surfaced.
The Administrator will contact the Engineer for figures.
The Mayor inquired about increasing the sewer rates, this will be discussed
after the audit. He also recommended that the City contact the Westonka
Chamber about the Star City Program to determine if this project could
involve Spring Park, Orono and Mound. He also inquired about the car port
being built at 3816 Northern Ave. and the property behind the building at
4113 Sunset Drive, he stated it is being used as storage.
Widmer inquired about the increase in sewer rates from the MWCC. The
Administrator read their letter dated August 25th in which they attempted
to explain why the rates had increased, they stated the following had
contributed to the raise: More rain fall, inflow and infiltration.
Council noted this had not been a problem before and thought a 40% in-
crease was too drastic. Widmer also inquired if a silt fence had been
put up at 3800 Sunset Drive, he also stated that construction vehicles
are being parked there.
a) Resolution 92-23 - Implementing a Recycling Program
Hennepin County requires each City to implement a recycling program to
enable the County to meet its recycling goals to distribute funds to the
Cities.
Motion by Widmer second by Thurk to adopt Resolution 92-23, Implementing
a Recycling Program. All votes were aye. Motion declared carried.
b) Proposal to Knutson
A drafted letter from the Lake Minnetonka Recycling Group was read by the
Administrator. Knutson Recycling Services is seeking a 150 per household
increase and a moratorium on revenue sharing. Council determined at the
last meeting they would approve only a 10¢ per household increase.
Motion by Rockvam second by Widmer to withhold sending the letter to Knutson
to declare a suspension of revenue sharing payments for the month of November
and December 1992. All votes were aye. Motion declared carried.
The Administrator asked if there were any other revisions in the budget
that the Council would like to make. Weeks stated it should be noted that
Spring Park's budget has increased only 4% in 4 years.

RE -CONVENED PUBLIC HEARING - TRUTH IN TAXATION - December 16, 1992
Page 2
• Council discussed the $11,000.00 cost over -run for Lafayette Lane and King's
Road improvements. Thurk stated Schoell & Madson should take some respon-
sibility for being Spring Park's experts. Weeks suggested a compromise.
This will be discussed at the next meeting.
5. OPEN PUBLIC HEARING - TRUTH IN TAXATION
The Mayor opened the public hearing at 7:30 p.m. The roll call remained the
same. This meeting is continued from November 30th. Randy Bickman, Wendy and
Mike Berg, and Corinne Milovich were present.
The Administrator had prepared a hand-out for the meeting that showed the tax
capacity and the tax rate. She explained the Council has met with the assessor
from Hennepin County in an effort to explain the large tax increases shown on
the Truth in Taxation notices. Several factors make up the figures which Spring
Park has no control over: 1. Legislative changes in the rate each property is
taxed. (The legislature is trying to eliminate the Three Tier system in favor
of a two tier system to obtain more equality in taxes.) 2. Spring Park has
lost over 71/2 million dollars in market value due to lower property values and
loss of large paying properties such as Twin Birch Nursing Home being eligible
for tax exemption. The hand-out showed what Spring Park's budget has been for
the last three years. She stated the proposed statements are mis-leading.
The Mayor explained the proposed levy figures were high because they could be
reduced but could not be raised. Council tried to reduce the budget 2%, but
there was also a further reduction from last year.
Mr. Bickman questioned how the budget could have gone down. There were three
• elections in 1992, in 1993 there will be none. Water/sewer bonds will be paid
off reducing the budget $46,000 and $47,000 was added from Presbyterian Homes
in lieu of taxes.
The Administrator explained Spring Park's market value in 1991 was $67,205,500
and in 1992 was $59,692,200 which resulted in a $7,513,300 loss.
Resolution 92-24 - Adopting the 1993 Budget and Authorizing the Tax Levy
Collectible in 1993.
Motion by Widmer second by Thurk to adopt Resolution 92-24 - Adopting the 1993
Budget and Authorizing the Tax Levy Collectible in 1993. Upon roll call Rockvam,
Weeks, Thurk, Dill and Widmer all voted aye. Motion declared carried.
6. MISCELLANEOUS
Mr. Bickman stated he would like to have the Utility Superintendent come to
his home for repair of wires for the water meter.
7. ADJOURNMENT
Motion by Widmer second by Thurk to adjourn the public hearing at 8:25 p.m.
All votes were aye. Motion declared carried.
