PLANNING REPORT
TO: Jim Brimeyer
FROM: Alan Brixius
DATE: June 9, 2022
RE: The Yacht Club Hotel and Business Suite
• Site and Building Plan Review
• Conditional Use Permits for Hotel, Restaurant and Accessory Outdoor
Dining
FILE NO: 175.01 - 22.01
BACKGROUND
Olsen Globel, LLC has submitted plans calling the conversion of the existing Lake
Minnetonka Yacht Club located at 4165 Shoreline Drive into a lakefront boutique hotel.
The proposed hotel project includes the following components:
• 26 hotel suites with south facing views
• A 1,440 square foot restaurant with accessory outdoor dining (the existing deck
will be utilized). A maximum of 150 seats will be provided (78 indoor and 72
outdoor)
• A yacht Club with 32 seasonal boat slips for members.
• A new sun deck which measures approximately 2,500 square feet in size
• An "infinity edge" swimming pool which will be available for year-round use
• A "business suite" for collaborative working activities 3966 sq. ft.
The 1.47-acre subject site is presently zoned C-4, Office Commercial. The C-4 District
was specifically created to accommodate uses which transition between residential
uses and more intense uses. The district presently lists "yacht clubs" as a permitted
conditional use but does not however, make an allowance for hotels, restaurants and
accessory outdoor dining activities such as that proposed by the applicant.
Prior to taking formal action the applicant's development request, a zoning text
amendment to the C-4 District must be processed and approved which makes an
allowance for hotels, restaurants and accessory outdoor dining activities. The zoning
district amendment will be processed as a separate but contingent action item.
If City Officials approve the C-4 District amendment (to make an allowance for the
proposed hotel, restaurant and accessory outdoor dining activities as conditional uses in
the district (subject to various conditions), the following approvals will be necessary:
1. Conditional use permit for hotel use
2. Conditional use permit for restaurant use
3. Conditional use permit for accessory outdoor dining
Attached for reference:
Exhibit A: Applicant Narrative
Exhibit B: Site Survey
Exhibit C: Site Plan
Exhibit D: Building Perspectives
Exhibit E: Building Floor Plans
Exhibit F: Noise Study
Exhibit G: Truck Maneuvering Diagram
ANALYSIS
Zoning. As previously indicated, the subject site is zoned C-4, Commercial Office
which presently does not make an allowance for hotels, restaurants or accessory
outdoor dining activities. In conjunction with this application, a draft Zoning Ordinance
amendment has been prepared consideration by the planning commission and City
Council, if approved, the amendment makes an allowance for such activities by
conditional use permit and subject to various conditions.
Approval of the referenced amendment must precede action on the conditional use
permit requests which are specific to the subject site.
Hotel Use. The draft Zoning Ordinance amendment would make an allowance for
"hotels" in the C-4 District subject to various conditions. The following is a listing of the
various conditions which must be satisfied followed by related Staff comments:
a. Vehicular access points shall be limited, shall create a minimum of conflict
with through traffic movements, shall comply with section 42-67 of this
Code, and shall be subject to the approval of the City Engineer and/or
Hennepin County, as applicable.
Staff Comment: The subject site is presently accessed via a single, 28-foot-wide
curb cut along Shoreline Drive. No site access-related changes are proposed as
part of this development application. Thus, the proposed hotel would utilize the
existing site access.
2
The existing curb cut has obstructed views of eastbound traffic. Measure to
improve traffic visibility at this location should be pursued. Access-related issues
will be subject to comment and recommendation by the City Engineer and/or
Hennepin County.
b. Parking. The site shall provide adequate parking as listed in this
subsection. 42-428 (5) (b) and per section 42-67 of this Code. Hotel parking
shall not interfere with on-site circulation or other uses sharing the site.
The site and related parking and service shall be served by an arterial or
collector street of sufficient capacity to accommodate the traffic which will
be generated. Parking requirements are as follows:
1. One space per hotel room and one space per hotel employee.
2. Parking for ancillary uses such as office space, conference rooms
shall be calculated per section 42-67 of this Code.
3. At least one parking stall shall be provided for every three boat slips
accessory to the hotel.
4. All on-site parking shall meet the design standards of section 42-67
of this Code.
5. The site plan shall illustrate the required disability parking.
Staff Comment: Presently, 111 off-street parking spaces exist upon the subject
site, one of which is reserved for disability parking.
As calculated below, a total of 110 off-street parking spaces of required of the
proposed use:
Use Ratio Required Spaces
Hotel 26 rooms 1 space per room 26
Office 3,966 s.f. 1 space per 200 s.f. 18
Hotel staff not included in 1 space per 1
office calculation 1person) employee
Restaurant 150 seats 1 space per 3 seats 50
Kitchen 560 s.f. 1 space per 80 s.f. 7
Boat Slips 30 slips) 1 space per 3 slips 10
Total 112
The submitted site plan appropriately illustrates 110 off-street parking stalls, five
stalls of which must be reserved and designed as disability parking. The uses
withing the building will need to be adjusted meet the available parking supply.
3
On-street and/or off-site parking are not available to supplement the required
parking for the proposed use. The on-site parking must be adequate for the peak
demand of the uses on the site.
While parking stalls and drive aisles meet the minimum dimensional
requirements of the Ordinance, the submitted truck maneuvering diagram
(Exhibit G) reveals that semi-trailer truck maneuvering routes on the site may
encroach upon curb islands located to the west and northwest of the building. To
provide additional maneuvering space for large truck deliveries, the
size/configuration of the two row end parking islands which are located in close
proximity to the delivery truck route should be reduced in size and/or
reconfigured to eliminate potential intrusion.
c. The hotel site plan shall illustrate all outdoor activity areas and amenities
accessory to the hotel. Outdoor activity areas shall be designed to screen
these areas from adjoining residential properties. Outdoor activity areas
may be located within the required shoreland setback provided:
1. The site meets the lot coverage requirements of subsection 42-429
(5) of this Code.
Staff Comment: Section 42-429 (5) of the Zoning Ordinance states that
impervious surface coverage may not exceed 75 percent of the total lot
area provided all structures, additions or expansions shall meet setback
and other requirements of the Ordinance and that all development plans
are reviewed and approved by the City Engineer and the Lake
Minnetonka Conservation District.
The submitted plans do not indicate either the existing impervious surface
coverage percentage upon the site or the percentage proposed as part of
the current development proposal. As a condition of conditional use
permit approval, the existing amount of impervious surface coverage on
the site may not exceed 75% of the total lot area. Applicant shall provide a
hard cover calculation in the current site and with the proposed site
improvements. Compliance with this requirement must be documented by
the applicant.
As previously indicated, a sun deck measuring approximately 2,500
square feet in size (63' x 40') is proposed as a hotel amenity. In review,
the following concerns suggest that the size of the proposed deck may be
excessive:
1. The removal of significant trees will be necessary to accommodate
sun deck construction.
4
2. The deck will encroach into a shoreland area which exhibits severe
slopes. Thus, significant slope stabilization efforts will be
necessary.
3. The size of the deck raised concerns related to impervious surface
coverage and the management of stormwater runoff.
The Planning Commission should provide feedback to the applicant
regarding the acceptability of the sun deck's size and location. If the
Commission shares the above highlighted concerns and believes the sun
deck should be subject to further evaluation, Staff recommends that the
following conditions be imposed as conditions of conditional use permit
approval:
1. The area of the sun deck be reduced in size by approximately one-
third (from approximately 2,500 square feet to approximately 1,700
square feet).
2. The deck maintain a minimum 10-foot setback from the ordinary
high water level of Lake Minnetonka.
3. The applicant submit detailed construction plans for the proposed
sun deck, including, but not limited to deck design, materials, slope
stabilization and vegetive removal and tree preservation efforts.
4. A six-foot-high screen wall be provided on the north side of the sun
deck.
5. The sun deck must have a design and materials which allows for
the passage of water.
6. Alcohol service and consumption on the sun deck comply with
applicable liquor license requirements.
2. Outdoor activity areas are designed and located to screen these
areas from adjoining residential uses.
Staff Comment: Outdoor activity areas on the site include the sun deck,
the outdoor dining area, the infinity pool and three hammock lounge areas.
Recognizing that residential uses border the subject site to the west,
proper screening along the subject site's west property line is of the
utmost importance.
The west side of the site is presently screened via mature oak trees, a row
of Pine trees and fencing. As mentioned previously, Staff recommends
5
that a six-foot-high screen wall be provided on the north side of the sun
deck such that it will be properly screened from adjacent residential uses.
3. The hotel shall demonstrate accessible points of access to all
accessory outdoor activity areas including docks accessory to the
hotel.
Staff Comment: The submitted site plan illustrates circulation routes to
proposed outdoor activity areas.
As a condition of building permit issuance, all applicable American
Disability Act (ADA) requirements will need to be satisfied.
4. Docks accessory to the hotel shall be permitted by the Lake
Minnetonka Conservation District.
Staff Comment: According to the submitted site plan, some existing docks
are to be relocated. As a condition of conditional use permit approval, all
docks associated with the proposed hotel use must be subject to review
and approval by the Lake Minnetonka Conservation District.
5. All trash, recycling handling equipment shall be stored within the
principal building or within a trash enclosure that screens the
equipment from public streets and adjoining properties.
Staff Comment: According to the submitted site plan, a gated, exterior
trash handling area presently exists at the at the northwest corner of the
building. No changes to the existing trash handling area are proposed.
Question exists whether the trash and recycling needs of the proposed
use may differ from the previous use. Thus, as a condition of conditional
use permit approval, the trash handling area must be properly sized to
accommodate the needs of the proposed use - which may include a
grease container associated with the restaurant use.
6. Loading Area. The hotel site shall provide an on-site loading area
designed to accommodate delivery vehicles.
Staff Comment: Delivery activities are expected to occur near the
northwest corner of the building.
The submitted truck turning diagram illustrates an ability for large delivery
vehicles (50 foot long) to maneuver within the site (for deliveries).
6
Restaurant Use. The draft Zoning Ordinance amendment would make an allowance
for "restaurants" in the C-4 District subject to various conditions. The following is a
listing of the various conditions which must be satisfied as well as related Staff
comments:
a. Vehicular access points shall be limited, shall create a minimum of conflict
with through traffic movements, shall comply with Section 42-67 of this
Code and shall be subject to the approval of the City Engineer and/or
Hennepin County, as applicable.
Staff Comment: See previous comments on the Hotel access.
b. Parking. The proposed building shall provide adequate parking as listed in
this subsection 42-428 (6) (b) and per section 42-67 of this Code.
Restaurant parking shall not interfere with on-site circulation or other uses
sharing the site. The site and related parking and service shall be served
by an arterial or collector street of sufficient capacity to accommodate the
traffic which will be generated. Parking requirements are as follows:
1. One stall per 3 restaurant seats.
2. One stall per 80 square foot kitchen space.
Staff Comment: See comments regarding parking for the entire site..
c. Loading Area. Restaurant site shall provide an on-site loading area
designed to accommodate truck and trailer delivery vehicles with a length
of 50 feet or more. Alternatively receive written confirmation from
suppliers that only smaller vehicles or delivery vans will be used.
Restaurant site plans shall demonstrate site access, egress and
maneuvering through site without interfering with on-site parking. The
restaurant site shall provide adequate space for off-street loading and
unloading of all trucks serving the site per Section 42-68 of this Code.
Staff Comment: The submitted truck maneuvering diagram (Exhibit G) reveals
that semi-trailer truck maneuvering routes on the site may encroach upon curb
islands located to the west and northwest of the building. To provide additional
maneuvering space for large truck deliveries, the size/configuration of the two
row end parking islands which are located in close proximity to the delivery truck
route should be reduced in size and/or reconfigured to eliminate potential
intrusion.
d. All trash, recycling, grease trap handling equipment shall be stored within
the principal building or within a trash enclosure that screens the
equipment from public streets and adjoining properties.
7
Staff Comment: The hotel and restaurant will share the existing exterior trash
handling area located at the northwest corner of the building. See comments
under hotel trash enclosure.
e. Noise. The applicant shall abide by the maximum noise level guidelines as
stated in residential land use limits in Chapter 18, Article lll, Section 18-122
of this Code. No excessive noise will be permitted. The following
provisions are required to monitor and to control noise levels:
1. Outdoor weatherproof noise monitoring equipment shall be installed,
and a record of noise levels maintained.
i) Reports of noise levels shall be submitted to the City monthly.
ii) The applicant shall provide a detailed noise monitoring and
mitigation plan.
iii) Noise levels a duration of 6 minutes or more in excess of what is
allowed will alert the on-site management to take immediate
actions to reduce the noise levels at the site.
2. These restrictions shall not apply if granted a special event permit
approved by the City with an explicit, written exemption from noise
standards.
3. In the event of the applicant receiving four(4) documented
complaints, the City Council reserves the right to limit hours of
outdoor operations. This subsection 42-428 (6) (e) (3) does not limit
the City's ability to revoke a conditional use permit.
Staff Comment: The applicant has proposed the use of new technology to
monitor decibel levels on the property and send notification alarms to their
property management team when sound levels exceed the maximum allowed
threshold.
Other noise mitigation efforts proposed by the applicant include the following:
• The use of"creative screening" between the subject site and the high-
density residential use to the west.
• The use of Bluetooth headphones by hotel patrons who choose to watch
outdoor movies.
• The location of outdoor dining, music and beach activities at a much lower
grade elevation than the adjacent apartment building.
8
• The scheduling of outdoor activities in the summer months when tree
leaves provide an effective visual screen.
• A speaker system which utilizes more speakers at lower decibels and in
closer proximity to the desired audience.
• Directional speakers which point toward the ground (away from the
neighboring apartment building).
• A requirement that noise generating activities must terminate at 10:00
p.m.
• The business will comply with closing time requirements as provided in the
City Code.
In response to the applicant's noise mitigation efforts, Planning Staff
recommends the following:
1. While the applicant's noise mitigation ideas are appreciated, a formal
noise mitigation plan (document) should be submitted for City review and
approval.
2. As a new technology, some uncertainties exist regarding the use of a
decibel monitoring system. The applicant has submitted a testimonial
from Minnestay Vacation Homes. LLC which endorses a system similar to
that proposed by the applicant. It is however, recommended that this
technology be investigated further by the City before endorsing its use.
3. It is unclear what is intended by "creative screening." This should be
clarified by the applicant.
4. Consideration be given to the planting of additional coniferous trees (or
the relocation of existing coniferous plantings) along the subject property's
western boundary to ensure a year-round visual screen.
5. As a condition of conditional use permit approval, the City impose a
maximum decibel level requirement for documentation purposes. In this
regard, it is recommended that noise produced upon the subject site not
exceed 65 dBA during daytime hours (7:00 am - 10 pm) and 55 dBA
during evening hours (10 pm — 7:00 am) as measured from all property
lines.
6. Collected noise monitoring data shall be shared monthly with the City to
establish a record of noise levels and to track noise complaints and
violations.
Accessory Outdoor Dining Use. The draft Zoning Ordinance amendment would
make an allowance for "outdoor dining accessory to a restaurant" in the C-4 District
subject to various conditions. The following is a listing of the various conditions which
must be satisfied as well as related Staff comments:
9
a. A site plan and other pertinent information shall be submitted
demonstrating the location and type of all tables, refuse receptacles, and
wait stations.
Staff Comment: The submitted lower-level floor plan appropriately illustrates the

site plan detail.
b. The outdoor dining area shall be fenced according to the requirements of
Section 42-64 (i) of this Code, to define its boundaries and access to the
outdoor dining area be provided only via the principal building.
Staff Comment: The submitted site plan does not indicate whether or not the
outdoor dining area is to be fenced. As a condition of conditional use permit
approval, the outdoor area must be fenced, and the site plan should be revised
accordingly to specify the location, type and height of such fencing.
c. The size of the outdoor area is restricted to no more than thirty(30) percent

Other Issues
Setbacks. Required structure setbacks in the C-4, Commercial Office are as
follows:
• No less 30 feet where abutting a County street.
• Except as provided below, not less than 10 feet on any side yard
• No less than 20 feet on any side yard abutting residentially zoned property.
No less than 50 feet from the ordinary high-water level (OHWL).
To be noted is that the Ordinance does allow water-oriented structures within the
50-foot shoreland setback area.
No physical expansions to the existing principal building are proposed.
The proposed "infinity" pool, located south of the building, will encroach within the
50-foot OHWL setback requirement.
As shown on the submitted site plan, the proposed sun deck is located along the
OHWL. As mentioned previously, Staff recommends that the sun deck be reduced
in size and be set back a minimum of 10 feet from the OHWL.
Hammock Lounges. The submitted site plan illustrates seven "hammock
lounges" near the shoreline. Four of the lounges are located south of the sun deck
and three are located east of the "infinity pool" near the southeast corner of the
building.
Construction of the proposed "infinity pool" and "hammock lounges" will require
removal of some significant trees. In an effort to save significant trees on the site
and minimize slope disturbance, it is recommended that the three "hammock
lounges" located near the southeast corner of the building be eliminated and the
size of the sun deck be reduced.
Landscaping. While the site plan indicates that five existing "high value" trees
are to be protected during construction activities and remain on the site, it is not
clear if any new landscaping efforts are proposed. The site plan shows landscape
screening between the sun deck and the west lot line. The plan does not include
details on what this new landscaping consists of or how it may relate to the steep
slope in this area of the site. If any new landscaping is proposed, a landscaping
plan showing number, species, size of proposed plantings shall be submitted
subject to City review and approval.
13
Grading, Drainage. The construction of the sun deck raised Issues related to
grading, and slope stabilization. Details related to the sun deck design must be
submitted or review and approval of the City.
Utilities. The conversion of the building from office to hotel / restaurant will
require extensive alterations to building plumbing and water supply. While the
municipal utilities have capacity for the change of use. The building improvements
will require extensive building permit review and the change of occupancy will
require the payment of additional SAC / WAC charges for the increase in water
usage.
RECOMMENDATION
Based on the preceding review, Planning Staff believes a number of issues must be
addressed in greater detail prior to the Planning Commission making a formal
recommendation on the submitted application. As a result, Planning Staff recommends
that action on the application be continued to the Planning Commission's July meeting
to allow the applicant time to address issues and prepare/assemble additional
information as highlighted in summarized below.
While three individual conditional use permits are required for the Yacht Club
conversion, we have combined our conclusion and recommendation to cover the site
rather than the individual conditional use permits below.
1. The Planning Commission and City Council considers and approves the C-4
District amendment which would make an allowance for hotels, restaurants and
accessory outdoor dining activities in the district as conditional uses. Through the
review process the Planning Commission and City Council may choose to further
edit the proposed draft code amendment.
2. Investigate and implement means for improving traffic sight lines at the site curb
cut.
3. The proposed uses shall be adjusted to meet the required parking standards.
On-street and/or off-site parking shall not be used to accommodate parking
demands generated by the proposed use.
4. To provide additional maneuvering space for large truck deliveries, the
size/configuration of the two row end parking islands which are located in close
proximity to the delivery truck route be reduced in size and/or reconfigured to
eliminate potential intrusion.
5. The existing amount of impervious surface coverage on the site shall not exceed
75 % of total lot area or existing conditions whichever is greater. Documented
compliance with this requirement shall be provided by the applicant.
14
6. The following conditions related to the proposed sun deck shall be satisfied:

The Yacht Club Hotel & Business Suite
Updated Proposal
Edited 61412022
Executive Summary
As the only direct lakefront hotel on Lake Minnetonka,The Yacht Club Hotel &
Business Suite is uniquely positioned to draw visitors to the shores of Spring Park
Bay. With opportunities to work, play, relax, and stay the project is sure to be a
success for both the City of Spring Park and it's residents.
Continuing with The Yacht Club brand,we will do our best to honor the history of
the site and to maintain it's natural features while enhancing opportunities for the
public to enjoy them. We welcome the opportunity to partner with the City on things
like 4th of July fireworks, swimming lessons, National Night Out, and boater safety
classes in addition to business mentorship opportunities within the business suite.
Finally, as Executive Producer of the reality series, Miss INNdependent, I would love
to document the revitalization of the space and use it to promote both the project
and the City of Spring Park. My recently completed project at The Guest House in
Excelsior has been airing on KSTP for the past several weeks and has an average
reach of 23,000 households per broadcast. I have meetings lined up with HGTV and
Magnolia Networks next week to discuss future television distribution and
streaming options on a national scale and have begun documenting The Yacht Club
acquisition and approval process for a potential follow-up series.
Construction
Construction for the project will be divided into two distinct phases. Pending
approval, Phase I would begin in the fall of 2022 with a targeted completion date in
the spring of 2023. Phase II to be determined by existing leases and future demand.
Phase I
Interior:
Interior changes will consist of up to 14 hotel suites located on the second floor of
the building, a co-working business suite for tenants and hotel guests located on the
first floor, and a 150 seat caf6/coffee shop and restaurant with approximately 78
indoor seats on the lake level of the building.
Exhibit A: Applicant Narrative
Exterior:
On the exterior,we will update the patio furniture to comply with the proposed 72
seat outdoor dining capacity and 36" designated walkways.We will also add
weather resistant recycled plastic Adirondack chairs and lounge seating throughout
the property,as well as a recycled shipping container pool and spa for year round
use.Umbrellas and any cushioned seating will be kept in the existing indoor storage
areas for the winter,but the other seating will be kept in place for year round use.
The parking lot will be updated to include 5 ADA parking spaces with a new
staircase,ramp and lift to provide ADA access to the dock and beach below.This
area will also provide a quiet place to read or sunbath and will include built-in
seating for small wedding ceremonies,yoga,writing retreats, and outdoor movies.
Incorporated into the plan you will find a large screen and additional landscaping to
address sound and lighting mitigation requests for the project.
General.
We will incorporate new technology to provide both in person and contactless
check-in options for the hotel and business suite.We will deploy indoor and outdoor
noise monitoring and crowd detection devices to insure that there are no
disturbances or unauthorized parties or events taking place at he hotel. In this phase
of the project the front desk will be staffed from 8:30am to 5:30pm,seven days a
week with restaurant staff available until 10:OOpm and on-call property
management 24 hours a day.
Phase II
Interior.
Phase II is an optional expansion of the hotel to include up to 12 additional suites on
the first floor and lake level of the building.We would assess the need for this
expansion as existing commercial spaces become available.
Exterior:
Option to add suspended decks to the three,second story suites that don't currently
have deck access.
General:
In this phase of the project,we would add an onsite hotel staff member 24 hours a
day to supplement the remote afterhours management team in place.
Boat Slips
I've reached out to both Hennepin County and Minnetonka Edgewater Apartments
to discuss a shared shoreline agreement for additional transient slips needed for
The Yacht Club. I've spoken with the LMCD and have a meeting scheduled with them
prior to the June 15th public hearing.I will share any new information from that
meeting as it becomes available. Following my conversations with the neighboring
property owners, I have had our engineer update the site plan to reflect the
proposed designs in the attached site plan.
Key takeaways:
• The shared shoreline agreement(s) would create up to 16 additional slips
and extend the existing dock from 100'to 200'in length.
• The new configuration would relocate the eight slips that are closest to
Minnetonka Edgewater Apartments to the exterior dock section,moving
them 100' further away from the apartments.
• The additional docks would be transient in nature and would be used by
restaurant patrons and overnight hotel guests.
• Transient slips will include paid parking meters to avoid extended use of
transient boat parking privileges.
Included in this packet:
• Updated PowerPoint
• Updated site plan
• 50'truck turn radius
• Comments on the proposed C4 zoning amendment
• Property manager's testimony regarding noise-monitoring equipment
• Recycled shipping container pool (Modpool) specs and photos
• Link to initial sound testing video https:/.Iyoutu.be/zLyL40a9N9I

Noise Monitori* n
How does it work?
A quiet room has a sound level of around 30dB.This is.for the human ear,a quiet
7R ® surrounding.That is why the sound graph begins at 30dB in the app. Since the dB
scale is logarithmic.this gives you very precise measurements for sound levels in
your property.
You can read more about decibels and noise levels here.
The Minut sensor measures sound levels without recording or listening.They don't
collect,store or share any personal data.So you and your guests can relax in total
privacy.
You'll find the noise graph for each sensor under sensor details.Here.you can go
back and see the noise levels for a specific date and time.

M I N N e STAY
June 1, 2022
To Whom it may Concern,
Minnestay has been in business since July 2017,we currently manage 76 different homes,all of which
are doing short term (Airbnb) style rentals with an average stay of 4 days. Since inception to today we
have handled 7,123 unique individual reservations. Ranging anywhere from 1 to 28 guests per
reservation. The average number of guests per reservation is around 8 guests.
From the beginning we realized that there was potential for parties and loud guests that could affect our
neighbors in the surrounding homes. To help mitigate that from becoming an issue we installed noise
monitoring equipment. The company we utilized is called Noise Aware.The equipment they provide
monitors decibel levels in the surrounding area.This can be done both inside and outside of the homes.
The equipment does not record any conversations,only the decibel levels and will graph the levels. You
can then set parameters to any level you like. We use 75 dB for after 10 PM. If the sensors detect that
level of noise for over 5 minutes. It will send our team a message. Either by text or email. For homes
that do not require exterior monitoring we use Minut,which offers the same decibel information as
Noise Aware with an added protection of crowd detection by picking up on the number of phones in the
home.
To be perfectly honest I was surprised at how few noise violations we have received over the years. On
average I would say we receive 6-8 a year. Of those we simply send the guests a text or call them and
ask if they could please turn down the volume as it is after lOPM and the noise level is in violation of our
rental agreement that they have signed. Where penalties and or eviction can be enforced. I can say that
at least 95%of those few instances,they have lowered the level down to acceptable levels instantly and
we had no other interactions with them.You can watch the graph drop right after the phone call.Which
is sort of fun to watch.
Of the 7,123 reservations,we have had 8 parties.All of which have been in our largest homes of 5+
bedrooms,all were last minute bookings. The noise monitoring equipment did alert us right away and
after several attempts to reach the guests via phone we sent staff to investigate and notify the guests of
the violation.Since we have added other safety measures,such as requiring selfie photos while holding
their ID along with not allowing for last minute bookings.We have not had a party in over 18 months.
The noise monitoring equipment has been a very valuable tool in deterring and providing quick
responses to potential violations and stopping them before disturbing neighbors. I would highly
recommend installing them.
If you have any other questions or need further assistance in this subject, I would be happy to assist.
With Gratitude,
cew�

MEMORANDUM
TO: Jim Brimeyer
FROM: Alan Brixius
DATE: June 9, 2022
RE: Zoning Ordinance Amendment — C-4 District Conditional Uses
FILE NO: 175.01 - 22.01
In April of this year, the Planning Commission and City Council reviewed a conceptual
development plan of Olsen Globel, LLC which called for the conversion of the existing
Lake Minnetonka Yacht Club located at 4165 Shoreline Drive into a lakefront boutique
hotel. The proposal included 26 hotel suites and a restaurant with accessory outdoor
dining.
The subject site is presently zoned C-4, Office Commercial. While the district presently
lists "yacht clubs" as a permitted conditional use, it does not however, make an
allowance for hotels, restaurants, and accessory outdoor dining activities such as that
proposed by the applicant.
In review of the concept plan, both the Planning Commission and City Council
expressed general support of the proposed uses provided potential negative impacts
can be properly mitigated. As a result, Planning Staff was directed to prepare a draft
Zoning Ordinance amendment which would establish hotels, restaurants, and accessory
outdoor dining activities (accessory to restaurants) as allowed conditional uses in the C-
4 zoning district.
Attached as Exhibit A is a draft amendment which would make an allowance for hotels,
restaurants, and accessory outdoor dining activities in the C-4 District. The amendment
incorporates various conditions intended to mitigate potential negative impacts
associated with such uses.
The draft amendment is scheduled for informal review and discussion at the
forthcoming June15, 2022 Planning Commission meeting. Through Planning
Commission and City Council review we solicit comment and suggestion for any
additions, deletions or edits that would make the Code amendment appropriate for the
site and City.
