Hoffman said he heard there were concerns with the lane 250' feet from the shoreline in that it would create a roadway and the boaters would use it as a. cruising lane. Nelson said they would have to observe the "no wake". Nelson said the people attending were against the new lanes because they as boaters want an area to swim. Williamson stated this was a nightmare issue. Rockvam said he appreciated Nelson and the board's effort and commended them on the actions taken. b) Planning Commission Minutes — September 2, 2003 — Noted 1) Variance Request Recommendation — John & Susann Martin, 3826 Budd Lane John Martin requested his variance request be temporarily tabled pending the accumulation of additional information. 2) Variance Request Recommendation — Harlyn & Lisa Dill, 3811 Togo Road Harlyn and Lisa Dill were present. H. Dill stated he would like to construct an addition to his house and a variance is required on the southeast side of the house and he said he is going to remove a non -conforming shed on the property. Rockvam asked if the area below is going to be a shop or garage. Dill said it is going to be a shop and would be used for storage. Rockvam verified the variance request is for 4.25 feet on the side yard. He added he did not understand the Planner's remark that the addition would not increase the non- conformity. Stone stated the proposed addition is not going any closer to lot line. Rockvam said that is increasing the non -conformity but the property owner does not have a. choice if he is going to do anything to the house. Williamson noted if the property owner were to concur with the required setbacks, it would be impossible to have a conforming house. Motion by Stone seconded by Williamson to approve the variance request for 3811 Togo Road, for 4.25 feet side yard variance for an addition to a house. In discussion, Weeks recommended amending the motion to include the removal of the non -conforming shed on the property. The maker and the second of the motion agreed with the amendment. Upon roll call Williamson, Stone, Widmer and Rockvam voted aye and Hoffman voted no. Motion declared carried. c) S.A. Presentation Mike Cronin was the spokesperson for Super America (SA). Other SA representatives present: Derek Knight, Don Hess, and Phil Johnson, architect for the Marina Center. Cronin said the building will be brick on all sides, windows along the front and the back (east side) will be the car wash.

RE: Spring Park — Martin Project C I , P. . NAC FILE: 175.01 — 03.12 Dear Mr. Weeks, After our meeting with Julie Ekman, Thomas Lutgen and Susann Martin, I have reviewed the pertinent sections of the ordinance and have also contacted Mr. Vincent Parisi of FEMA to obtain his thoughts regarding the Martin Project. The following is a listing of the sections of the ordinance pertaining to this project, followed by staff comments and a conclusion as to where we may go from here. General Ordinance Standards- Non -Conforming Structures: Section 3 Subd. B (7) Single Family Buildings. Lawful non -conforming buildings and structures may be expanded to improve livability and/or utility, provided the structure is not expanded into the required setback areas, for uses which conform to the provisions of this Ordinance. Non -conforming buildings or structures may be remodeled and/or altered, both structurally and nonstructurally, with respect to the exterior and/or interior and/or roof of such buildings or structures, as well as maintained and repaired in their state as of 20 November 1984, as well as in any state in which they shall have been put as provided for in this Ordinance from and after 20 November 1984, provided that the nonconformity of the buildings or structures will not be increased. Section 3 Subd. C (3) Design Criteria for Structures — High Water Elevations. Structures must be placed in accordance with any floodplain regulations applicable to the site. COMMENT., The subject property is nonconforming in that it does not meet the 50 foot setback requirement from the Ordinary High Water Mark as required in the R-1, Single and Two Family District. It can be argued that the proposed project does not increase the nonconformity, being as the applicants are not proposing to expand the existing building, but are rather requesting to use the existing foundation. As such, as long as the proposed project does not further encroach upon the required 50 hoot setback, the structural alterations that are being proposed may be allowed. The problem with this project, however, is that the site is located within the flood fringe district and a majority of the existing building is below the 100 year floodp/ain elevation. COMMENT. A representative of FEMA informed City Staff that the applicant may be able to argue that a few of the structural alterations involved in the proposed project are code enforcement issues that would not be included within the overall structural alteration cost. The determination of whether or not there are code enforcement issues at the discretionofthe City's Building -Official. It should be noted, however, that- the applicant went ahead and gutted the interior of the house and as such any previous existing code enforcement issues would be difficult to establish at this time. Conclusion; At present, the building official and FEMA have determined that the proposed project is a substantial improvement in that it exceeds 50 percent of the market value of the structure. Should this determination stand, the applicant may consider one of the three following options; 1. Relocate the house on the site in a manner that meets all performance requirements. 2. Meet the floodplain requirements of City Code as listed within this report. (fill and raise the lower level of the building to a level above the regulatory flood plain elevation). 3. The City may consider a variance to structurally dry flood proof the lower level. Should the applicant, at the discretion of the City, submit a list of structural alterations that are determined to be less than 50 percent of the market value of the structure, the project may be allowed to move forward. The applicant should be aware, however, that the 50 percent maximum structural alteration is over the life of the home. If future structural alterations are required, due possibly to future flooding, the 50 percent structural alteration allowance will most likely be exceeded and the applicant will need to bring the house into conformity. Also, as the DNR representative warned the applicant and City staff at the site visit on October 20`h, flood insurance for such an undertaking may be extremely expensive and in fact may not even be available. Should the applicant proceed, staff would strongly suggest that the City require a written document indemnifying the City from any damages to the property within any living space below the regulatory flood plain elevation. This document, along with precise record keeping, should serve to protect the City from higher flood insurance rates should the subject site flood. The document indemnifying the City from responsibility should be reviewed by the City Attorney. Sincerely, R WEST S I ED CONSULTANTS John Glomski Planner 3 As such, Section 3 Subd. C (3) requires that the subject site meet the applicable floodplain regulations. Management of Floodplain Areas: The -current -single-familyhome is an existing non -conforming structure in regards -to the flood fringe district because the structure includes livable space below the regulatory flood plain elevation .(931 feet), as determined by the Flood Insurance Rate Map created by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. As a non -conforming use, the following sections apply: Section 6 Subd. A (3) The cost of any structural alterations or additions to any non- conforming structure over the life of the structure shall not exceed fifty (50) percent of the market value of the structure unless the conditions of this section are satisfied. If the current cost of all previous and proposed alterations and additions exceeds fifty (50) percent of the current market value of the structure, then the structure must meet the standards of Section 4.0 of this Ordinance for new structures. COMMENT. • The City Building Official has reviewed the submitted alterations and has found them to exceed the 50 percent threshold. Staff has faxed a list of the proposed building alterations to a representative at FEMA who also concluded that the proposed alterations are "substantial improvements" that would exceed 50 percent of the market value. As such, the project is subject to the following requirements as defined in Section 4 of the Floodplain Ordinance; Section 4. Subd. B (1) All structures, including accessory structures, must be elevated on fill so that the lowest floor including basement floor is at or above the Regulatory Flood Protection Elevation. The finished fill elevation for structures shall be no lower than one (1) foot below the Regulatory Flood Protection Elevation and the fill shall extend at such elevation at least fifteen (15) feet beyond the outside limits of the structure erected thereon. Section 4 Subd. B (2) Basements, as defined by Section 2A of this Ordinance, shall be subject to the following: (a) . Residential basement construction shall not be allowed below the Regulatory Flood Protection Elevation. Section 4 Subd. B (3) All areas of non-residential structures, including basements to be placed below the Regulatory Flood Protection Elevation, shall be flood -proofed in accordance with the structurally dry flood -proofing classifications in the State Building Code. Structurally dry flood -proofing must meet the FP-1 or FP-2 flood -proofing classification in the State Building Code and this shall require making the structure water -tight with the walls substantially impermeable to, the passage of water and with structural components having the capability of resisting hydrostatic and hydrodynamic loads and the effects of buoyancy. Structures flood -proofed to the FP-3 or FP-4 classification shall not be permitted, except as provided in Section 4 B. 4.\ 2 OCT-10-2003 10:52 MORTENSON 7632875581 P.01 MOVAMIM 0 INDUSTRIAL GROUP FOCR 700 Meadow Lane North T 1 0 2003 Minneapolis, MN 66422 Telephone: (763) 522.2100 C 1 T"( () " (.` :) P K Facsimile: (763) 287-6581 www.mortenson.com Facsimile Cover Sheet Please deliver the accompanying pages To: Bill Weeks Fax Number. 952-471-9160 Re: From: Susann and John Martin Date: 10/10/03 Job No: Total Pages (Including cover): 4 This is the revised cost estimate following the guidelines of Lyle Oman's letter dated October 7, 2003.

In Lyle's letter he references the average cost of remodeling at $44.29 per square foot and the average cost of rebuilding at $74.22 per square foot which calculates to a difference of $29.93 per square foot for the "structural modifications or additions'. In the attached revised cost estimate we have calculated the "structural modifications or additions" for the upper floor area of approximately 2500 square feet at $29.93 per square feet for a total estimated cost of $74,825. These are the structural modifications that are applicable to Section 8, Subd, A.3 which states "The cost of any structural alterations or additions to any nonconforming structure over the life of the structure shall not exceed fifty (50) percent of the market value of the structure". In Northwest Associated Consultants, Inc. letter dated August 26, 2003 they had referenced Section 8, Subd. A.3. In compliance with Section 8, Subd. A.3 our estimated "structural modification or addition" cost is less than the 50% market value of the property. We have also estimated the value of remodeling for the upper floor and the lower floor a total of approximately 3350 square feet using Lyle's estimated remodeling cost of $44.28 per square feet for a total remodeling value of $148,338. Please issue us a Building Permit for the proposed "structural modifications or additions" and the proposed remodeling at a total value of $223,163 as soon as possible.

Rockvam 471-9515 RE: 3826 Budd Lane Councilmembers Joanna E.Widmer 471.9429 Dear Mr. Weeks, I have reviewed the cost sheet supplied by John and Susan Martin Jacalyn Scone regarding proposed work to the house at 3826 Budd Lane. The total of all 471-7856 work at $65,885.00 is very low and is unreasonable. It appears the house is Jeff Hoffman at least 2,500 square feet. The State of Minnesota Building Code Division 471-1270 Bruce Williamson provides municipalities with average square footage values for construction 471-1029 in Minnesota. The average cost of remodeling is $44.29 per square foot, $44.29 x 2500 = $110,725, Remodeling does not typically include new Administrator exterior walls, new floor and roof structures. This type of work would be Bill Weeks 471-9051 closer to rebuilding which would be $74.22 per square foot. S74.22 x 2500 $185,550. These numbers are typically very low for construction in the Lake Minnetonka area. It is my feeling that the property owners should supply the City with written estimates from at least two reputable contractors for labor and materials. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

DATE: August 22, 2003 RE: Spring Park — John and Susan Martin NAC FILE: 175.01 — 03.12 The applicant's, John and Susan Martin, would like to reconstruct a single family home on the same foundation as an existing nonconforming structure. The site is located within the City's Flood Fringe District. Our office has been directed to review both the City's Code and Department of Natural Resource (DNR) regulations pertaining to the alteration of residential homes in the floodplain. The following memorandum is a brief description of our findings. The applicant is allowed by Ordinance to structurally alter a nonconforming structure located within the flood fringe at a maximum of (50) percent of its market value. The issue is what differentiates simple maintenance from a structural alteration. Our office contacted the DNR for their interpretation. The DNR was not able to provide a specific list describing what is and is not considered a structural alteration as it appears to be a "gray area". Typically, any reconstruction of walls, building layout adjustments, or roof realignments would be construed as structural alterations while re -siding, re -roofing, or electric and plumbing repairs would be considered normal maintenance. This determination is made on a project by project basis. As such, and as instructed at the September 10th, Spring Park Planning Commission meeting, the applicant should submit a "laundry list" of what is planned to be altered and/or reconstructed. Our office will then work with the DNR to determine what is considered a structural alteration and what is considered normal maintenance. At that time, the total cost of all structural alteration, including labor, will be compared to the current market value of the structure. The total amount must not exceed fifty (50) percent. pc.

The following is a listing of the sections of the ordinance pertaining to this project, followed by staff comments and a conclusion as to where we may go from here. General Ordinance Standards- Non -Conforming Structures: Section 3 Subd. B (7) Single Family Buildings. Lawful non -conforming buildings and structures may be expanded to improve livability and/or utility, provided the structure is not expanded into the required setback areas, for uses which conform to the provisions of this Ordinance. Non -conforming buildings or structures may be remodeled and/or altered, both structurally and nonstructurally, with respect to the exterior and/or interior and/or roof of such buildings or structures, as well as maintained and repaired in their state as of 20 November 1984, as well as in any state in which they shall have been put as provided for in this Ordinance from and after 20 November 1984, provided that the nonconformity of the buildings or structures will not be increased. Section 3 Subd. C (3) Design Criteria for Structures — High Water Elevations. Structures must be placed in accordance with any floodplain regulations applicable to the site. COMMENT, The subject property is nonconforming in that it does not meet the 50 fbot setback requirement from the Ordinary High Water Mark as required in the R-1, Single and Two Family District. It can be argued that the proposed project does not increase the nonconformity, being as the applicants are not proposing to expand the existing building, but are rather requesting to use the existing foundation. As such, as long as the proposed project does not further encroach upon the required 50 foot setback, the structural alterations that are being proposed may be allowed. The problem with this project, however, is that the site is located within the flood fringe district and a majority of the existing building is below the 100 year floodplain elevation. As such, Section 3 Subd. C (3) requires that the subject site meet the applicable f/oodplain regulations. Management of Floodplain Areas: The current single family home is an existing non -conforming structure in regards to the flood fringe district because the structure includes livable space below the regulatory flood plain elevation (931 feet), as determined by the Flood Insurance Rate Map created by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. As a non -conforming use, the following sections apply: Section B Subd. A (3) The cost of any structural alterations or additions to any non- conforming structure over the life of the structure shall not exceed fifty (50) percent of the market value of the structure unless the conditions of this section are satisfied. If the current cost of all previous and proposed alterations and additions exceeds fifty (50) percent of the current market value of the structure, then the structure must meet the standards of Section 4.0 of this Ordinance for new structures. COMMENT. The City Building Official has reviewed the submitted alterations and has found them to exceed the 50 percent threshold. Staff has faxed a list of the proposed building alterations to a representative at FEMA who also concluded that the proposed alterations are "substantial improvements" that would exceed 50 percent of the market value. As such, the project is subject to the following requirements as defined in Section 4 of the Floodplain Ordinance; Section 4 Subd. B (1) All structures, including accessory structures, must be elevated on fill so that the lowest floor including basement floor is at or above the Regulatory Flood Protection Elevation. The finished fill elevation for structures shall be no lower than one (1) foot below the Regulatory Flood Protection Elevation and the fill shall extend at such elevation at least fifteen (15) feet beyond the outside limits of the structure erected thereon. Section 4 Subd. B (2) Basements, as defined by Section 2.J of this Ordinance, shall be subject to the following: (a) Residential basement construction shall not be allowed below the Regulatory Flood Protection Elevation. Section 4 Subd. B (3) All areas of non-residential structures, including basements to be placed below the Regulatory Flood Protection Elevation, shall be flood -proofed in accordance with the structurally dry flood -proofing classifications in the State Building Code. Structurally dry flood -proofing must meet the FP-1 or FP-2 flood -proofing classification in the State Building Code and this shall require making the structure water -tight with the walls substantially impermeable to: the passage of water and with structural components having the capability of resisting hydrostatic and hydrodynamic loads and the effects of buoyancy. Structures flood -proofed to the FP-3 or FP4 classification shall not be permitted, except as provided in Section 4 B. 4.\ `a COMMENT., A representative of FEMA informed City Staff that the applicant may be able to argue that a few of the structural alterations involved in the proposed project are code enforcement issues that would not be included within the overall structural alteration cost. The determination of whether or not there are code enforcement issues at the discretion of the City's Building Official. It should be noted, however, that the applicant went ahead and gutted the interior of the house and as such any previous existing code enforcement issues would be difficult to establish at this time. Conclusion; At present, the building official and FEMA have determined that the proposed project is a substantial improvement in that it exceeds 50 percent of the market value of the structure. Should this determination stand, the applicant may consider one of the three following options; 1. Relocate the house on the site in a manner that meets all performance requirements. 2. Meet the floodplain requirements of City Code as listed within this report. (fill and raise the lower level of the building to a level above the regulatory flood plain elevation). 3. The City may consider a variance to structurally dry flood proof the lower level. Should the applicant, at the discretion of the City, submit a list of structural alterations that are determined to be less than 50 percent of the market value of the structure, the project may be allowed to move forward. The applicant should be aware, however, that the 50 percent maximum structural alteration is over the life of the home. If future structural alterations are required, due possibly to future flooding, the 50, percent structural alteration allowance will most likely be exceeded and the applicant will need to bring the house into conformity. Also, as the DNR representative warned the applicant and City staff at the site visit on October 20`h, flood insurance for such an undertaking may be extremely expensive and in fact may not even be available. Should the applicant proceed, staff would strongly suggest that the City require a written document indemnifying the City from any damages to the property within any living space below the regulatory flood plain elevation. This document, along with precise record keeping, should serve to protect the City from higher flood insurance rates should the subject site flood. The document indemnifying the City from responsibility should be reviewed by the City Attorney. Sincerely, R EST S I ED CONSULTANTS John Glomski Planner 3
