SUMMARY OF REQUEST:
Subdivision of 13.6 acres into 11 single-family lots and one beach lot, Wetland Alteration Permit
to fill 4-;+é4 5,498 square feet of wetland, Conditional Use Permit to Create a Beach Lot, and
Variances to allow 50 foot Right-of-Way, 9% street grade, and a 50 x 80 foot House Pad. Notice
of this public hearing has been mailed to all property owners within 500 feet and all Minnewashta

LEVEL OF CITY DISCRETION IN DECISION-MAKING:
The City's discretion in approving or denying a preliminary plat is limited to whether or not the
proposed plat meets the standards outlined in the Subdivision Regulations and Zoning

Ordinance. If it meets these standards, the City must approve the preliminary plat. This is a
quasi-judicial decision.
The City's discretion in approving or denying a wetland alteration permit is limited to whether or
not the proposed alteration meets the standards outlined in the wetland conservation act and the
city's wetland ordinance. If it meets these standards, the City must approve the wetland
alteration. This is a quasi-judicial decision.
The City's discretion in approving or denying a variance is limited to whether or not the
proposed project meets the standards in the Subdivision Ordinance for a variance. The City has a
relatively high level of discretion with a variance because the applicant is seeking a deviation
from established standards. This is a quasi-judicial decision.
The City has limited discretion in approving or denying conditional use permits, based on
whether or not the proposal meets the conditional use permit standards outlined in the Zoning
Ordinance. If the City finds that all the applicable conditional use permit standards are met, the
permit must be approved. This is a quasi-judicial decision.
BACKGROUND
On February 28, 1994, the City Council reviewed an application for a comprehensive plan
amendment to change the land use designation from residential low density to residential
medium density and conceptual planned unit development for 26 single family zero lot line units
(Spinnaker Wharf) on the subject site. The City Council denied the request and directed the
applicant to prepare a plan that meets current ordinance standards.
PROPOSAUSlJMMARY
The applicant is proposing to subdivide 13.6 acres into 11 single-family lots and one beach lot.
The property is zoned RSF, Residential Single Family and beach lots require a conditional use
permit within this district. Variances are being requested with this application to allow 50 foot
right-of-way, a 9% street grade, and a 50 x 80 foot house pad. The applicant is also proposing to
fill 4-;+é4 5,498 square feet of wetland.
The average lot size is 35,612 square feet with a resulting gross density of 0.8 units per acre and a
net density of 1.65 units per acre. The site is located south of Highway 7, west ofWashta Bay
Road, north of Lake Minnewashta, and east of Dartmouth Drive. Access to the subdivision will be
provided via extensions of Dartmouth Drive and a cul-de-sac off of Washta Bay Road.
All of the proposed lots meet the minimum area, width, and depth requirements of the Zoning
Ordinance witH tHe e1lcej3tiOR sf Lst 5, Blocl¡ 1. THis 1st fmRts OR a CHf\'e aRá Has a fr{,Rtage sf 53

The applicant submitted calculations that reflected a 90 foot lot frontage. There is one beach
lot shown on the plat, which is proposed to serve the entire subdivision. A footpath from the
bubble of each cul-de- sac will provide access to this beach lot, and eventually lead to the lakeshore
where a dock with 10 boat slips is proposed. The number of boat slips must be reduced to 9 (this
issue is discussed in detail under the Beach Lot section of the report).
The site consists of three parcels being assembled into one tract of land, and then subdivided. Two
individuals own these parcels. There is an existing structure on the northwest comer of the site.
This structure is proposed to be demolished. There is also an existing driveway access to this home
off of Highway 7. This access must be closed as part of this subdivision. A portion of this site falls
within the jurisdiction of the City of Shorewood. As a condition of approval, the applicant will be
required to get approval from the City of Shorewood.
Three wetlands occupy the site. Two of these wetlands are proposed to be impacted by this
development, while the third is proposed to remain intact. It appears that there is a bluff on the
neighboring property to the southwest. This bluff is within close proximity to Lot 8, Block 1. The
house pad and grading limits maintain adequate setbacks from the side of the bluff. Staff will
attach a condition to the report to ensure the 30 foot setback from the side of the bluff is
maintained.
The site has mature trees, which the applicant is making an effort to preserve. However, due to the
construction of storm ponds, streets, and grading for house pads, mature trees are being lost. Staff
discussed the possibility of custom grading some of these lots to save existing trees, specifically,
Lots 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, and 8, Block 1. The applicant was open to this suggestion.
The variance for the 50-foot right-of-way for the cul-de-sacs is to allow these streets to blend in
with the surrounding neighborhood. The 9% grade on the westerly cul-de-sac was discussed at
length with the applicant. The site has meandering topography. This grade provides the least
impact on the vegetation and staff fully supports it. The third variance deals with the size of a
house pad on Lot 4, Block 1. The ordinance requires a 60 x 60 house pad. The lot has an area of
approximately 1.8 acres. The applicant is proposing a 50 x 80 house pad. House plans have been
submitted for this site and appear to fit on the lot. This issue has been discussed in the past. Staff
has always maintained that we never encounter actual house plans with dimensions of 60 x 60.
There is a buildable area on this site with a sizable yard. However, staff believes that soil
corrections will be required on that lot. Also, there will be wetland impact to provide access to this
site.
Staff has been working with the applicant for several months. The plan has gone through several
changes. We are recommending that it be approved with conditions outlined in the staff report.

PRELIMINARY PLAT
The applicant is proposing to subdivide 13.6 acres into II single-family lots and one beach lot.
All the lots exceed the minimum 15,000 square feet of area, with an average lot size of 35,612
square feet. Access to the subdivision will be provided via extensions of Dartmouth Drive and a
cul-de-sac off of Washta Bay Road.

Lot 1, Block 2, has an odd configuration. A finger extends to the west that should be platted as an
outlot and deeded to the property located west of Lot 1, Block 2.
As mentioned earlier in the report, there appears -to be a bluff on the property located southwest of
the subject site. The ordinance requires all structures to maintain a 30-foot setback from the edge of
a bluff. It appears that the proposed building pad maintains the required setback from the side of
the bluff; HOWeyer, staff is Fe'lHestiRg the applicant ideRtify identified the boundaries of the bluff to
ensure setbacks are met. There wiJI also be a condition requiring setbacks be maintained. Staff
notes that the proposal is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and consistent with the Zoning
Ordinance with conditions outlined in the staff report.
WETLANDS
Existing Wetlands
Three wetlands exist on-site: one aglurban wetland and two natural wetlands. Svoboda
Ecological Resources delineated the wetlands in November 1999.
Basin 1 is a Type 1 aglurban wetland located in the center of the property. The wetland is
dominated by reed canary grass. The applicant is proposing to fill in 4 locations within Basin 1
to accommodate a regional stormwater pond; cul-de-sac; driveway to Lot 4, Block 2 and a trail to
provide access to the beach lot from the eastem portion of the property. The total proposed
impact to Basin 1 is 4-;4&& 5,222 square feet (GAG 0.12 acres).
Boyer Lake Minnewashta Addition
A3FiI 1(j May 13, 2002
Page 5
Basin 2 is a Type 3 natural wetland located adjacent to Lake Minnewashta along the southern
portion of the property. The wetland is dominated by reed canary grass and cattail. No wetland
impact is proposed to Basin 2.
Basin 3 is a Type 2 natural wetland located in the northwestern portion of the property. The
wetland is dominated by reed canary grass. The applicant is proposing to fill within Basin 3 to
accommodate a regional stormwater pond. The total proposed impact to Basin 3 is 276 square
feet (O.oI acres).
On August 24, 200 1, City staff conducted an on-site review of a portion of the wetland
delineation. The on-site review raised questions about the accuracy of the delineation of Basin I.
The City met the delineator on-site on October 26, 2001. The conclusion of that site visit was
that a portion of the wetland boundary established by the delineator was inaccurate. Staff
recommended the wetland boundary be changed to be consistent with the findings of City staff
from August 24, 2001. The wetland boundary shown on the plans is consistent with staff
recommendation.
Wetland Replacement
Wetland replacement must occur in a manner consistent with the Minnesota Wetland
Conservation Act (MR 8420). The applicant must submit a Wetland Replacement Plan
Application along with all required supporting materials. The applicant should provide proof of
recording of a Declaration of Restrictions and Covenants for Replacement Wetland. A wetland
replacement plan must be approved prior to wetland impacts occuning.
The applicant has proposed the construction of 6,348 square feet of new wetland credit (NWC)
adjacent to Basin 3 to mitigate for proposed wetland impacts. In addition, the applicant will
enhance 5,889 square feet of existing wetland buffer to obtain public value credits (PVC).
A wetland buffer 0 to 20 feet in width (with a minimum average of 10 feet) must be maintained
around Basin I. Wetland buffers 10 to 30 feet in width (with a minimum average of 20 feet)
must be maintained around Basins 2, 3 and the wetland mitigation area. (Those buffers
considered for PVC must maintain a minimum width of 16.5 feet.) Wetland buffer areas should
be preserved, surveyed and staked in accordance with the City's wetland ordinance. The applicant
must install wetland buffer edge signs, under the direction of City staff, before construction begins
and must pay the City $20 per sign. All structures must maintain a 40-foot setback from the
wetland buffer edge.
LAKES
The proposed project is within 1,000 feet of the ordinary high water level (OHW) of Lake
Minnewashta and is therefore within the lake's shoreland district. The Minnesota Department of
Boyer Lake Minnewashta Addition
AJ3FiI 16 May 13, 2002
Page 6
Natural Resources (DNR) classifies Lake Minnewashta as a recreational development lake. Lot
4, Block 2 is the only riparian Jot proposed. The minimum lot size for this lot is 20,000 square
feet and the minimum Jot width is 90 feet. The OHW of Lake Minnewashta is 944.5.
This property includes a channel that extends northward from the north shore of Lake
Minnewashta almost to Trunk Highway 7. This channel was excavated in March 1958. Since
the OHW extends into the channel, all structures must be set back 75 feet from the OHW in
accordance with DNR standards and City ordinance.
The DNR's standards for common docking areas (such as beach lots) refer to "natural
shoreline." In the case of this property, the natural shoreline would be the shoreline prior to the
excavation of the channel. For this reason, the current shoreline of the channel is not counted
toward the natural shoreline required for individual Jots and/or additional beach lot docks.
Conversations with the applicant have revealed that there may be future plans to excavate within
the existing channel to improve aesthetics and/or access. The applicant must obtain all necessary
permits from the DNR, Minnehaha Creek Watershed District and/or the City prior to excavation
taking place. It is recommended that no additional excavation Occur in this area since it is not a
natural part of the lake and any additional work may have a significant impact on the hydrology,
vegetation or overall quality of the lake and/or adjacent wetlands. The DNR's position on
excavation is outlined in the attached e-mail from Travis Germundson, Area Hydrologist
(Attachment 1).
RECREATIONAL BEACH LOT
The applicant has proposed Lot 3, Block 2 as a recreational beach lot. The proposed beach lot
meets the minimum size (30,000 square feet) and shoreline (200 feet) requirements set forth in
Section 20-263 of the Chanhassen City Code. In addition, the beach lot meets the size and
shoreline requirements to support up to 3 docks, each with 3 spaces for ovemight storage of
watercraft, for a total of 9 spaces. (The proposed beach lot is 151,518 square feet and
incorporates 669 feet of shoreline.) The number of watercraft may be clustered onto 1 common
docking area. The beach lot must meet all requirements set forth for recreational beach lots in
Section 20-263 of the City Code.
Since private docks on 4 of the 5 potential riparian Jots (Lots 5-8, Block 1) would have been
otherwise installed across wetland (Basin 2), the applicant has incorporated the riparian areas of
these lots into the proposed beach lot and transferred the individual docking rights to the
common docks on the beach lot.
Staff supports the beach lot approach to this site for the following reasons:
1. Allowing individual docks to go across wetland basins often results in impacts to wetland
Boyer Lake Minnewashta Addition
f.3fil Hi May 13, 2002
Page 7
vegetation and overall wetland quality. By clustering watercraft on the beach lot, such
impacts are avoided.
2. Staff recommends that a conservation easement be placed over the portion of the beach
lot that includes Basin 2. This will prevent the loss of trees in this area and will help to
preserve the integrity of the shoreline and the wetland in this area.
3. By ordinance, each dock (private or on a beach lot) is allowed 3 watercraft. With 4
individual docks (Lots 5-8, Block 1) plus 1 beach lot dock, 15 watercraft would be
allowed. By clustering watercraft on the beach lot, the number of watercraft allowed is 9.
This reduces both recreational and natural resource-related pressures on Lake
Minnewashta.
A similar approach to clustering dock spaces on beach lots was taken in the Olivewood
subdivision in the northeast corner of Lake Minnewashta. In the case of Olivewood, the beach
lot contained over 600 feet of shoreline and was over 79,000 square feet in area, so there was no
difficulty in meeting the requirements for the common dock for 9 boats. In addition, the number
of lots in the subdivision was equal to the number of spaces allowed on the beach lot. A drawing
of the Olivewood subdivision is attached (Attachment 2).
The number of docks allowed in conjunction with this subdivision and conditional use permit
(beach lot) is not equal to the number of lots in the proposed subdivision. The preliminary plat
shows 10 dock spaces. The plat should be revised to show 9 spaces, the maximum allowed on a
single beach lot by City ordinance. The addition of a tenth space to accommodate the final lot in
the subdivision would require a variance. The granting of such a variance is not recommended.
The applicant has proposed a trail on the recreational beach lot to provide the easternmost lots
with access to the beach and dock area. Materials used for trail construction have not been
specified. Staff recommends the trail be either a mown trail (similar to the trail in Kerber Pond
Park) or a wood chip trail. In addition, the trail should not be extended to the shoreline, as shown
in the plans. This will help to prevent the trail materials from entering the lake and will dissuade
homeowners from launching boats from the beach lot, which is prohibited under Section 20-263
(5) of the Chanhassen City Code. The applicant should explore the feasibility of avoiding
wetland fill for the trail along the north side of Basin 1 by installing a boardwalk or similar
structure.
There are several areas of the trail where trespass issues may arise in the future if changes are not
made to the trail alignment or if cross-access easements are not granted. The trail should be
located within the drainage and utility easement between Lots 4 and 5 on Block 1. In addition, a
cross-access easement should be granted for the trail from the owners of Lots 4 and 5, Block 1 in
favor of all the homeowners in the homeowners' association.
The preliminary plat shows "6 slide-up boat storage spaces." The beach lot ordinance allows
Boyer Lake Minnewashta Addition
.^.3FiI16 May 13, 2002
Page 8
nonmotorized watercraft (e.g., canoes, windsurfers, sail boards, small sailboats) to be stored on
racks on the beach lot, with no more than 6 nonmotorized watercraft per rack. The number of
racks may not exceed the amount of storage necessary to permit 1 rack slip per lot served by the
beachlot. The plans should reflect the capacity and location of the proposed storage rack(s).
An amendment to the Conditional Use Permit is required for any changes to the beach lot
including but not limited to: dock configuration, installation of portable chemical toilets,
placement of boat racks, and placement of structures.
Storm Water Management
The proposed development is required to maintain existing runoff rates. The applicant has
submitted drainage calculations for the development. Staff has reviewed the calculation and only
minor modifications are needed. All of the proposed ponds are required to be designed to
National Urban Runoff Program (NURP) standards. The storm sewer will have to be designed
for a lO-year, 24-hour storm event. Drainage and utility easements will need to be dedicated on
the final plat over the public storm drainage system including ponds, drainage swales, and
wetlands up to the 100-year flood leveL
The last catch basin prior to discharge into each pond should be a sump catch basin_ This will
prolong the maintenance interval of the proposed storm water ponds.
Bluffs
It appears that a bluff may exists on the property located southwest of the site. The applicant
sRsHld examined the slopes near the southwest comer of Lot 8, Block 1 and determined wl1ether
6I'--ßffi they meet the City's criteria for a bluff (rise of 25 feet above the toe and a sJope averaging
30% or greater). If tl1e sls3es meet tRe 13IHff el'iteria, all structures shall maintain a 3D-foot
setback from the top, toe and sides of the bluff.
Easements
Drainage and utility easements should be provided over all existing wetlands, wetland mitigation
areas, buffer areas used as PVC and storm water ponds. Easement types and locations should be
called out on the preliminary plat. An encroachment agreement is needed before the trail can be
constructed on Lot 3, Block 2 as the trai] is proposed within a drainage and utility easement.
Erosion Control
Type ill silt fence should be provided between the proposed wetland mitigation and existing
Basin 3_ Erosion control blanket should be installed on all slopes greater than or equal to 3: 1.
All upland areas disturbed as a result of construction activities shall be immediately restored with
seed and disc-mulched, covered with a wood-fiber blanket or sodded within two weeks of
completion of each activity in accordance with the City's Best Management Practice Handbook.
Staff recommends that Type II silt fence be used around the grading perimeter of the site and that
---- -- -
Boyer Lake Minnewashta Addition
:\3Fill!! May 13, 2002
Page 9
Type ill silt fence be used adjacent to the lake and wetlands. A 7S-foot minimum rock
construction entrance must be added to each of the entrances that will be used during
construction. The applicant should be aware that any off-site grading would require an easement
from the appropriate property owner. All disturbed areas must be sodded or seeded and mulched
within two weeks of grading completion.
Surface Water Management Plan
The City's Surface Water Management Plan (SWMP) shows two regional storm water ponds (LM-
P8.9 and LM-P8.1O) on this site. Consequently, the City has required the applicant to provide
storm water facilities on-site that fulfill the requirements set forth in the SWMP. Because the
applicant will be treating more runoff than is generated by the proposed subdivision, the project will
receive compensation for oversizing in accordance with the SWMP and for the provision of two
outlet structures.
Water Quality Fees
Because of the impervious surface associated with this development, the water quality fees for this
proposed development are based on single-family residential development rates of $800/acre.
Based on the proposed developed area of approximately 10.65 acres, the water quality fees
associated with this project are $8,520.
Water Quantity Fees
The SWMP has established a connection charge for the different land uses based on an average
citywide rate for the installation of water quantity systems. This cost includes land acquisition,
proposed SWMP culverts, open channels, and storm water ponding areas for runoff storage. Single-
family residential developments have a connection charge of $1,980 per developable acre. This
results in a water quantity fee of approximately $21,087 for the proposed development.
SWMP Credits
As discussed earlier, this project proposes the construction of two NURP ponds. The applicant
will be credited for water quality where NURP basins are provided to treat runoff from the site.
This will be determined upon review of the ponding and storm water calculations. Credits may
also be applied to the applicant's SWMP fees for oversizing in accordance with the SWMP or
the provision of outlet structures. The current proposal appears to provide water quality
treatment for runoff from 4.1 acres on-site and 39.0 acres off-site. (These figures will be
finalized upon final review of the storm water calculations.) In addition, two outlet structures are
proposed. Preliminary calculations show a credit of $39,480 against total fees of $29,609.
At this time, the estimated total SWMP credit due to the applicant for the provision of ponding for
off-site areas in accordance with the SWMP is $9,871.

GRADING. DRAINAGE & EROSION CONTROL
The plans propose to grade about 75% of the site for the new house pads and proposed streets.
The proposed grading wiJI prepare the site for lookout and walkout-type dwellings. The street
drainage wiJI be conveyed via storm sewer to three proposed storm water ponds for treatment
prior to discharging to the existing wetlands and channel to Lake Minnewashta.

The majority of the existing site drains to a wetland in the center of the parcel. Site drainage
from this wetland flows south into Lake Minnewashta. The proposed development will be
required to meet the existing stormwater runoff rates for the 10- and 100-year, 24-hour storm
events. The City's Surface Water Management Plan (SWMP) shows two regional ponds located
on this site. The applicant has fo]]owed the SWMP and included the regional ponds as a part of
the development.

UTILITIES
Municipal sewer and water service is available to the site from existing mains in Dartmouth
Drive and Washta Bay Road. There is also an existing sewer line that runs along the lake. The
applicant is proposing to extend sewer and water lines along the proposed streets to service the
proposed lots. Staff recommends that the existing sewer and water Jine on the east side of the
site, south of the proposed cul-de-sac, be abandoned to avoid having para]]el utility lines. Also,
the existing homes, which are connected to this line, would have to be connected to the new
lines.
According to the City's Finance Department records, the underlying parcels on the east and west
sides were previously assessed for sanitary sewer and water. However, the underlying parcel in
the center of the site was not assessed for utilities. As such, the proposed homesite on Lot 4,
Block 2 will be required to pay a sanitary sewer connection charge. The current 2002 lateral
connection charge for sanitary sewer is $4,335 per lot. Since the developer wi]] be extending the
lateral sewer and water mains to the remaining lots, the sanitary sewer and water connection
charges wi]] be waived. Sanitary sewer and water hookup charges wiJI stiJI be applicable for
each of the new lots. The 2002 trunk hookup charge is $1,383 for sanitary sewer and $1,802 for
watermain.
Public utility improvements are required to be constructed in accordance with the City's latest
edition of Standard Specifications and Detail Plates. Detailed construction plans and
specifications wiJI be required at the time of final platting. The applicant wi]] also be required to
enter into a development contract with the City and to supply the necessary financial security in
the form of a letter of credit or cash escrow to guarantee installation of the improvements and the
conditions of final plat approval. Permits from the appropriate regulatory agencies must be

obtained, including but not limited to the MPCA, Department of Health, Watershed District,
MnDOT, etc.
STREETS
The plans propose to extend Dartmouth Drive from the west side approximately 200 feet ending
with a cul-de-sac. The plans also propose another access from the east side approximately 300
feet off ofWashta Bay Road and ending with a cul-de-sac.
The required right-of-way for a public street is 60 feet wide with a 60-foot wide radius for cul-de-
sacs. The applicant is proposing a 50-foot wide street right-of-way and a 60-foot wide cul-de-sac
radius on the west. Likewise, on the east side a 50-foot wide street right-of-way is proposed with
a less than 60-foot radius on the cul-de-sac. For continuity with the existing Dartmouth Drive
right-of-way, staff is in favor of the applicant's proposal for a variance from the required street
right-of-way of 60-feet. Staff would recommend that the cul-de-sac radius and pavement meet
the standards of 60-feet and 4S.S-feet, respectively. Also, the applicant must provide a uniform
transition from the existing 22-foot wide pavement of Dartmouth Drive to a new 28-foot street
section. On the east side, the available right-of-way is limited to 50 feet. Staff has no objection
to the reduced right-of-way; however, the cul-de-sac radius must maintain 60 feet with a paved
radius of 45.5 feet and a paved roadway section of 28 feet back to back of curb. The right-of-
way widens in some areas along the easterly cul-de-sac. This width must maintain 50 feet.
The remnant piece located south of the right-of-way shall be deeded to the property to the
south.
Also, at the Planning Commission meeting, the owner of the property located southeast of
the subject site noted that his existing driveway and utilities are located within the
proposed right-of-way. With the construction of the new street, the driveway access must
be relocated to a new location off of the cul-de-sac. The old driveway shall be removed and
the disturbed area shall be reseeded.
PARK DEDICATION
This property lies within the service area of two neighborhood parks-Minnewashta Heights and
Herman Field. The acquisition of additional parkland in this area is not warranted. The property
borders a section of the City's Comprehensive Trail system, which exists along the south side of
State Highway 7. Residents residing in Boyer Lake Minnewashta Addition will have convenient
access to this trail from both Arbor Lane and Washta Bay Road.
The plan calls for an internal trail system to allow access to a private recreational beach lot. It is
my recommendation that this internal trail be constructed and maintained as a private amenity.
Development of this trail connector as a public amenity would duplicate the access currently

provided by the Highway 7 trail and result in unnecessary conflict between trail users and the
property owners.

Boyer Lake Minnewashta Addition
.^4:JFiI16 May 13, 2002
Page 15
Finding: The proposed subdivision will not conflict with existing easements, but
rather will expand and provide all necessary easements.
7. The proposed subdivision is not premature. A subdivision is premature if any of the
following exists:
a. Lack of adequate storm water drainage.
b. Lack of adequate roads.
c. Lack of adequate sanitary sewer systems.
d. Lack of adequate off-site public improvements or support systems.
Finding: The proposed subdivision will have access to public utilities and streets.
BEACH LOT FINDINGS
RECREATIONAL BEACH LOT CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT
The development proposal includes a conditional use permit request for a private recreation a]
beach lot. The beach lot area contains a total of 151,518 gross sq. ft. The private beach lot
includes a trail that leads to the lake area where a common dock will be located with 10 boat
slips. Staff strongly supports the combined approach to providing a common lake access.
However, the total number of boat slips must be reduced to 9 to meet the letter of the ordinance.
The location selected for dock access is the most practical from a positioning point as it avoids
impacting wetlands.
Section 20-232. General Issuance Standards
1. Will not be detrimental to or endanger the public health, safety, comfort, convenience or
general welfare of the neighborhood or city.
Finding: The proposed beach lot will not be detrimental to or endanger the above. The
beach lot is intended to enhance the comfort, convenience and general welfare of the
neighborhood by providing a recreational amenity.
2. Will be consistent with the objectives of the city's comprehensive plan and this chapter.
Finding: The beach lot is consistent with the city's comprehensive plan and zoning
ordinance after reducing the number of slips to 9.
Boyer Lake Minnewashta Addition
f.3FiI Hi May 13, 2002
Page 16
3. Will be designed, constructed, operated and maintained so to be compatible in appearance
with the existing or intended character of the general vicinity and will not change the
essential character of that area.
Finding: The applicant needs to provide details about the trail to the dock as well as
specifications about the dock and any proposed storage racks. The members of the
subdivision will be required to form an association to maintain the beach lot.
4. Will not be hazardous or disturbing to existing or planned neighboring uses.
Finding: There are several beach lots on Lake Minnewashta. The proposed beach lot will
lessen impact on the existing neighborhoods by reducing the number of motorized
watercraft permitted on the lake.
S. Will be served adequately by essential public facilities and services, including streets,
police and fire protection, drainage structures, refuse disposal, water and sewer systems
and schools; or will be served adequately by such facilities and services provided by the
persons or agencies responsible for the establishment of the proposed use.
Finding: There will be a trail off of a public street to access the beach lot. The members
of the subdivision will be required to form an association to maintain the beach lot.
6. Will not create excessive requirements for pubJic facilities and services and will not be
detrimental to the economic welfare of the community.
Finding: The beach lot is not anticipated to have any excessive requirements for public
facilities and services and will not be detrimental to the economic welfare of the
community.
Finding: The subdivision needs to form an association to keep the beach lot maintained
and to regulate activities on the beach lot.
7. Will not involve uses, activities, processes, materials, equipment and conditions of
operation that will be detrimental to any persons, property or the general welfare because
of excessive production of traffic, noise, smoke, fumes, glare, odors, rodents, or trash.
8. Will have vehicular approaches to the property, which do not create traffic congestion or
intelfere with traffic or surrounding public thoroughfares.
·'.:n
Boyer Lake Minnewashta Addition
fq¡FiI Hi May 13, 2002
Page 17
Finding: All members of the association live within close proximity and will not require
vehicular approaches to the property. All motorized watercraft will be launched at the
regional park.
9. Will not result in the destruction, loss or damage of solar access, natural, scenic or
historic features of major significance.
Finding: The development of the beach lot for recreational uses will not result in the loss
of any features. Grading on the site is a result of the construction of a storm pond. A
conservation easement is requested over the wetland and many of the existing trees.
10. Will be aesthetically compatible with the area.
Finding: The beach lot should be properly maintained to remain compatible with the
surrounding uses.
11. Will not depreciate surrounding property values.
Finding: The beach lot should be an asset to the neighbors by providing a recreational
opportunity as well as protected open space.
12. Will meet standards prescribed for certain uses as provided in this article.

Findinl!: Existing vegetation will be preserved to the greatest extent possible. Lot width and
depth will also provide distance to act as buffer between the beach lot and other properties. In
addition, the beach lot is located in the middle of the proposed development. All the properties
directly adjacent to the beach Jot will belong to the Homeowners association responsible for its
operation and maintenance.
To the extent feasible, the city may impose such conditions even after approval of the beach lot if
the city finds it necessary.

Findinl! No gazebos are proposed.
Sec.18-22. Variances.
The city council may grant a variance from the regulations contained in this chapter as part of the
plat approval process following a finding that all of the following conditions exist:
1. The hardship is not a mere inconvenience
2. The hardship is caused by the particular physica] surroundings, shape or topographical
conditions of the land;
3. The condition or conditions upon which the request is based are unique and not generally
applicable to other property;
2. The granting of a variance will not be substantially detrimental to the public welfare and
is in accord with the purpose and intent of this chapter, the zoning ordinance and
comprehensive plan.
Findinl!: The applicant is requesting multiple variances. Some were recommended by staff while
others were requested by the applicant. These variances are as follows:
Right of way width: The ordinance requires a 60 foot Right-of-Way width. The westerly 50 foot
ROW was recommended by staff to maintain the character of the neighborhood. The easterly 50
foot width was dictated by the avai]able land.
Street Grade: The applicant submitted several options showing a street grade of 7% as required
by ordinance to 9% which requires a variance. The amount of grading and tree loss was reduced
Boyer Lake Minnewashta Addition
f.pFiI Hi May 13, 2002
Page 23
substantially with a 9% grade. Staff is supportive of this variance since it will lessen impact on
the site.
House Pad: Lot 4, Block 2 has a 50 x 80 house pad. The ordinance requires a 60 x 60 house pad.
The applicant has submitted a house plan that will easily fit within the buildable area of the site.
Staff has always maintained that the actual houses that get built in Chanhassen are not a 60 x 60
square.
PLANNING COMMISSION UPA TE
On April 16, 2002, the Planning Commission reviewed and approved this application. The
discussion centered on the development of the site with a beach lot vs. individual riparian lots with
individual dock rights. Staff explained that the recommendations as proposed by staff would
promote preservation of natural features, an issue that was of some concern to a neighbor in
Minnewashta Landings which does not have a conservation easement. The Planning Commission
approved the application with a vote of 4 to 2.
At the Planning Commission meeting, the property owner of the parcel located east of Lot I, Block
2, explained that this development will affect his privacy. The applicant was willing to plant some
trees between the two lots. There are existing trees on the property line that the applicant is
proposing to save. Staff and the applicant's engineer agreed to 3 additional spruce trees, planted 15
feet on center, along the property line.
Following the Planning Commission meeting, on April 29, 2002, staff had a meeting with the
applicant regarding the plat. The applicant indicated opposition to a conservation easement and that
they wish to submit a revised plat showing riparian lots. Staff explained that such a change is
substantial and will necessitate sending the plans back to the Planning Commission. Staff also
explained that the variances, wetland alteration permit, and beach lot permit need to be reconsidered
in lieu of any changes. Staff recommended approval of these applications based on the fact that
environmental features were being protected (see attached letter). The applicant does not approve of
the restriction included within the easement. Staff is willing to work with the applicant. Staff s
intent is that this area be left "natural." The conservation area is shown as areas that are not
proposed to be disturbed. This easement will ensure its protection.
RECOMMENDA TlON
Staff recommends the City Council adopt the following motion:
PRELIMINARY PLAT
"The City Council approves the preliminary plat for Subdivision #02-6 for Boyer Lake Minnewashta

the toe and a slope averaging 30% or greater). If tfle slsfJes meet tl1e èlHff cFiteFia, all
structures shall maintain a 30-foot setback from the top, toe and sides of the bluff.
17. Easement types and locations shall be called out on the preliminary plat.
18. An encroachment agreement for the trail on Lot 3, Block 2 shall be obtained prior to trail
construction.
19. Erosion control blanket shall be installed on all slopes greater than or equal to 3:1.
20. Based on the proposed developed area of approximately 10.65 acres, the water quality
fees associated with this project are $8,520; the water quantity fees are approximately
$21,087. The applicant will be credited for water quality where NURP basins are
provided to treat runoff from the site and adjacent areas. The current proposal appears to
provide water quality treatment for runoff from 4.1 acres on-site and 39.0 acres off-site.
(These figures will be finalized upon final review of the storm water calculations.) In
addition, two outlet structures are proposed. Preliminary calculations show a credit of
$39,480 against total fees of $29,609. At this time, the estimated total SWMP credit due
to the applicant for the provision of ponding for off-site areas in accordance with the
SWMP is $9,871.
21. The applicant must apply for and obtain permits from the appropriate regulatory agencies
(e.g., Minnesota Pollution Control Agency, Minnesota Department of Natural Resources)
and comply with their conditions of approval.
22. Approval of this application is contingent upon the City of Shorewood reviewing and
approving this application.
23. The existing driveway access off of Highway 7 shall be abandoned.

24. Lot 3, Block 2 shall be pJatted as an outlot.
25. The pond is required to be designed to National Urban Runoff Program (NURP)
standards.
26. Prior to final plat approvaJ, a professional civil engineer registered in the State of
Minnesota must sign all plans.
27. Prior to final platting, storm sewer design data will need to be submitted for staff review.
The storm sewer will have to be designed for a lO-year, 24-hour storm event. All of the
ponds are required to be designed to National Urban Runoff Program (NURP) standards.
Drainage and utility easements will need to be dedicated on the final plat over the public
storm drainage system including ponds, drainage swales, and wetlands up to the 100-year
flood level. The minimum utility easement width shall be 20 feet wide.
28. Staff recommends that Type II silt fence be used around the grading perimeter of the site
and that Type ill silt fence be used adjacent to all ponds and wetlands. The silt fence
shall be removed at the completion of construction. A 7S-foot minimum rock
construction entrance must be added to the entrance that will be accessed during
construction. The applicant should be aware that any off-site grading would require an
easement from the appropriate property owner. All disturbed areas must be sodded or
seeded and mulched within two weeks of grading completion.
29. Installation of the private utilities for the site will require permits and inspections through
the City's Building Department.
30. Public utility improvements will be required to be constructed in accordance with the
City's latest editions of Standard Specifications and Detail Plates. Detailed construction
plans and specifications will be required at the time of final platting. The applicant will
also be required to enter into a development contract with the City and supply the
necessary financial security in the form of a letter of credit or cash escrow to guarantee
installation of the improvements and the conditions of final plat approval. Permits from
the appropriate regulatory agencies must be obtained, including but not limited to the
MPCA, Department of Health, Watershed District, Carver County, etc.
31. Add all applicable 2002 City of Chanhassen Detail Plates to the plans.
32. The proposed development will be required to meet the existing stormwater runoff rates
for the 10- and 100-year, 24-hour storm events.

Re: Boyer Addition, Lake Minnewashta (10-9P), City ofChanhassen, Carver County
Dear Ms. AI-Jaff:
Thank you for sending the preliminary plat, received March 20, 2002, for the Boyer Addition to the
DNR for review. The Boyer Addition is located in the NWV. of Section 4, TII6-R23. After
reviewing the preliminary plat, we have the following comments to offer:
I. The Ordinary High Water Level (OHWL) for Lake Minnewashta, as shown on the plat of
945.6' is incorrect. The correct elevation is 944.5' (1929 datum). The applicant needs to show
the location of the OHWL, as located by a surveyor, so the actual proposed setback can be
determined.
2. Controlled access lots must meet ITontage (200' feet of natural shoreline per dock) and area
(30,000 square feet for the first dock and 20,000 square feet for each additional dock)
requirements as described in Section 20-263 of the City Code. Based on the proposed shared
mooring facility we recommend that covenants be developed, restricting the placement of
individual docks along Lots 5-8 for the purpose of shoreline/wetland preservation. A DNR
Waters permit will be required for any mooring facility (i.e. docks) that has seven or more
moonng spaces.
3. All lots created after the date of the local shoreland controls must meet or exceed required
dimensional standards. It appears that Lot 8 would not meet the lot ITontage minimum standard
of 90 feet.
4. Topography associated with Lot 8 may meet the definition of a bluff and therefore the structure
should be set back at least 30' and vegetation and topography retained in a natural state within
20 feet ITom the top of the bluff as defined in the ordinance. Steep slopes (slopes exceeding 12
%) exist on Lots 6 and 7. The topographic alterations should be minimized in these areas.

5. The 100-year flood elevation of Lake Minnewashta is 945.0' (1929 datum). All work that is
done for this development must comply with applicable floodplain regulations of both the city
and the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District.
6. Any activity, such as placing a stormwater outfall below the OHWL, which alters the course,
current, or cross-section, is under the jurisdiction of the DNR and may require a DNR Permit.
7. A license will need to be obtained for utility crossings of public lands and waters from DNR
Bureau of Real Estate Management. If sewer and water are to be placed across the existing
channel, the applicant will need to contact Ross Sublett @ 651-772-7987 to obtain a license.
8. The following comments are general and apply to all proposed developments:
rf construction involves dewatering in excess of 10,000 gallons per day or I million gallons per
year, a DNR appropriation permit is needed. rfthe application is less than 50 million gallons,
then it typically takes five days to process the permit.
If construction activities disturb five acres of land, or more, the contractor must apply for a
stromwater permit from the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (Keith Cherryholmes @ 651-
296-6945).
The comments in this letter address DNR Waters jurisdictional matters and concerns. These
comments should not be construed as DNR support or lack thereof for a particular project.
rfyou have any questions please contact me at (651) 772-7914.

SUBJ:
Preliminary Plat Review for Boyer Lake Minnewashta Addition
Land Use Review File No. 02-06
Upon review of the plans dated March 15,2002, prepared by Anderson
Engineering of Minnesota, I offer the following comments:
GRADING. DRAINAGE & EROSION CONTROL
The plans propose to grade about 75% of the site for the new house pads and
proposed streets. The proposed grading will prepare the site for lookout and
walkout-type dwellings. The street drainage will be conveyed via stonn sewer to
three proposed storm water ponds for treatment prior to discharging to the
existing wetlands and channel to Lake Minnewashta.
The majority ofthe existing site drains to a wetland in the center of the parcel.
Site drainage ITom this wetland flows south into Lake Minnewashta. The
proposed development will be required to meet the existing stormwater runoff
rates for the 10- and 100-year, 24-hour storm events. The City's Surface Water
Management Plan (SWMP) shows two regional ponds located on this site. The
applicant has followed the SWMP and included the regional ponds as a part of the
development.
The applicant has submitted drainage calculations for the development. Staff has
reviewed the calculation and only minor modifications are needed. All of the
proposed ponds are required to be designed to National Urban Runoff Program
(NURP) standards. The storm sewer will have to be designed for a 10-year, 24-
hour storm event. Drainage and utility easements will need to be dedicated on the
final plat over the public storm drainage system including ponds, drainage swales,
and wetlands up to the 100-year flood level.
Staff recommends that Type II silt fence be used around the grading perimeter of
the site and that Type ill silt fence be used adjacent to the lake and wetlands. A
75-foot minimum rock construction entrance must be added to each ofthe
entrances that will be used during construction. The applicant should be aware
that any off-site grading would require an easement ITom the appropriate property
owner. All disturbed areas must be sodded or seeded and mulched within two
weeks of grading completion.

UTILITIES
Municipal sewer and water service is available to the site from existing mains in
Dartmouth Drive and Washta Bay Road. There is also an existing sewer line that
runs along the lake. The applicant is proposing to extend sewer and water lines
along the proposed streets to service the proposed lots. Staff recommends that the
existing sewer and water line on the east side of the site, south of the proposed
cul-de-sac, be abandoned to avoid having para]]eJ utility lines. Also, the existing
homes, which are connected to this line, would have to be connected to the new
lines.
According to the City's Finance Department records, the underlying parcels on the
east and west sides were previously assessed for sanitary sewer and water.
However, the underlying parcel in the center of the site was not assessed for
utilities. As such, the proposed homesite on Lot 4, BI. 2 wi]] be required to pay a
sanitary sewer connection charge. The current 2002 lateral connection charge for
sanitary sewer is $4,335 per lot. Since the developer wi]] be extending the lateral
sewer and water mains to the remaining lots, the sanitary sewer and water
connection charges will be waived. Sanitary sewer and water hookup charges
will still be applicable for each of the new lots. The 2002 trunk hookup charge is
$1,383 for sanitary sewer and $1,802 for watermain.
Public utility improvements are required to be constructed in accordance with the
City's latest edition of Standard Specifications and Detail Plates. Detailed
construction plans and specifications wi]] be required at the time of final platting.
The applicant wi]] also be required to enter into a development contract with the
City and to supply the necessary financial security in the form of a letter of credit
or cash escrow to guarantee insta]]ation of the improvements and the conditions of
final plat approval. Permits from the appropriate regulatory agencies must be
obtained, including but not limited to the MPCA, Department of Health,
Watershed District, MnDOT, etc.
STREETS
The plans propose to extend Dartmouth Drive from the west side approximately
200 feet ending with a cul-de-sac. The plans also propose another access from the
east side approximately 300 feet off of Washta Bay Road and ending with a cul-
de-sac.
The required right-of-way for a public street is 60 feet wide with a 60-foot wide
radius for cul-de-sacs. The applicant is proposing a 50-foot wide street right-of-
way and a 60-foot wide cul-de-sac radius on the west. Likewise, on the east side
a 50-foot wide street right-of-way is proposed with a less than 60-foot radius on
Sharmeen AI-Jaff
April 10, 2002
Page 3
the cul-de-sac. For continuity with the existing Dartmouth Drive right-of-way,
staff is in favor of the applicant's proposal for a variance from the required street
right-of-way of 60-feet. Staff would recommend that the cul-de-sac radius and
pavement meet the standards of 60-feet and 4S.S-feet, respectively. Also, the
applicant must provide a uniform transition from the existing 22-foot wide
pavement of Dartmouth Drive to a new 28-foot street section. On the east side,
the available right-of-way is limited to 50 feet. Staff has no objection to the
reduced right-of-way, however, the cul-de-sac radius must maintain 60 feet.

DATE:

SUBJ:
Boyer Lake Minnewashta Addition
I have reviewed the aforementioned subdivision request as it relates to the park
and recreation section of the City's Comprehensive Plan. This property lies
within the service area of two neighborhood parks-Minnewashta Heights and
Herman Field. The acquisition of additional parkland in this area is not
warranted. The property borders a section of the City's Comprehensive Trail
system, which exists along the south side of State Highway 7. Residents
residing in Boyer Lake Minnewashta Addition wiJI have convenient access to
this trail from both Arbor Lane and Washta Bay Road.
The plan calls for an Internal traIl system to aJIow access to a private
recreational beachlot. It is my recommendation that this internal trail be
constructed and maintained as a private amenity. Development of this trail
connector as a public amenity would duplicate the access currently provided by
the Highway 7 trail and result in unnecessary conflict between trail users and the
property owners.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the following conditions of approval regarding parks and
recreation be required of Boyer Lake Minnewashta Addition:
· In lieu of land dedication and/or trail construction, full park and trail
dedication fees should be paid. These fees are to be paid at the rate in force
upon final platting and/or building permit application. The current rate is
$1,500 per single family dwelling for parks and $500 per single family
dwelling for trails. One-third of all park and trail fees applicable to the
entire plat are due at the time of final platting. The remaining two-thirds are
paid independently at the time of each building permit application.

Dear City Council Members, Planning Commission and Staff,
It is with great satisfaction and pride that Boyer Building Corporation is submitting to you this
proposal to subdivide a 13.6 acre site along the Northeastern shore of Lake Minnewashta.
We have been working with your staff to bring about the most ecologically sensitive plan for this
subdivision. By proposing only 11 building sites over the property (less than I unit per acre) we
feel the development strikes a real bargain for the ecology of the land yet allows enough density
and economy to make the project feasible for the developer and affordableto the future home
owner.
The site has great beauty and opportunity for these 11 homeowners' to share in lake living and
lifestyle. It also has some real challenges that need to be dealt with and adjusted for. This plan
does just that. By tip-toeing around the sensitive wetland areas, being respectful ofIake and
wetland setbacks, creating regional ponding to treat and purify downstream water runoff fÌ'om
surrounding communities and consolidating shoreline boat dockage, we feel ,this, plan is a
respectful and proper use of the land.
It is in our experience, that developments of this kind with this many ecological challenges often
require several variances and sometimes zoning changes to recognize the tradeoffs that can benefit
the community. With this plan there are only two variances requested. The first is a variance to
increase the slope of the public street extension of Dartmouth Drive to 9%. With this additional
street grade, the impact on the current site will be greatly reduced. The variance will allow for
reduced slopes at the cul-de-sac, preserve trees, and decrease slopes into the ponds and driveways.
The second variance request is for the modification of building pad size for lot 4 block 2 fÌ'om the
standard 60-feet by 60-feet to 80-feet by 50-feet. This site is a beautiful home site and can easily
support a fabulous home. It is extremely common to design homes well within this building size.
The site occupies the entire Eastside of the channel slightly more than 2 acres. This lot measures
140-feet at the EastlWest dimension and 680-feet along the North/South dimension.' Because of
the lakeshore to the South and the channel shoreline to the West, and the required 75-foot setback
from each, the available building pad is 50' from East to West after deducting for the IS-foot
Eastside setback It is notable that along the North/South direction the building could extend up to
195 feet should one desire that large of a footprint.
Enclosed are several examples of homes that will fit within this building pad.
We ask that you consider the hardship imposed by the lake setback and apply flexibility to the
ordinance by allowing the 80-feet by 50-feet minimum building pad size for this home site.

Boyer Lake Minnewashta Addition--MnlDOT Review #P02-037
Southwest Quadrant of Trunk Highway 7 and Washta Bay Road
Chanhassen, Carver County
Control Section 1004
Dear Mr. Generous:
The Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnlDOT) has reviewed the above referenced plat
in compliance with Minnesota Statute 505.03, subdivision 2, Plats. Before any further
development, please address the following issues:
The final plat should state that MnlDOT has access control along Trunk Highway 7. If you
have any questions regarding this information, please contact John Isackson (651-582-1273)
in MnlDOT's Right of Way section.
The proposed development will need to maintain existing drainage rates (i.e., the rate at
which storm water is discharged from the site must not increase). The City or project
developer will need to submit before/after hydraulic computations for both 10 and 100 year
rainfall events verifYing that all existing drainage pattems and systems affecting MnlDOT
right of way will be perpetuated. Water can not be backed up into the culvert under Trunk
Highway 7. Permits from other agencies may be required to drain run-off into the lake. Please
direct questions concerning these issues to Pamela Selden (651-634-2410) ofMn/DOT's
Water Resources section.
.
Any use of or work within MnlDOT right of way requires a permit. A drainage permit will be
required. Please direct questions regarding permit applications to Keith VanWagner (651-
582-1443) ofMnlDOT's Permits section.
.
Mn/DOT's policy is to assist local governments in promoting compatibility between land use
and highways. Residential uses located adjacent to highways often result in complaints about
traffic noise. Traffic noise ITom this highway could exceed noise standards established by the
Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA), the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban
Development, and the U.S. Department of Transportation. Minnesota Rule 7030.0030 states
that municipalities are responsible for taking all reasonable measures to prevent land use
activities listed in the MPCA's Noise Area Classification (NAC) where the establishment of
the land use would result in violations of established noise standards.
Mn/DOT policy regarding development adjacent to existing highways prohibits the
expenditure of highway funds for noise mitigation measures in such areas. The project

Dear Ms. Aanenson:
Thank you for your April 30 fotlow up !ener to our April 29 meeting.
To confinn and clarify our position, we are expecting to take our proposed plat to the city council on the
May 13 meeting.
We have yet to be convinced that the conservation easement recommended by staff and approved by the
planning commission is a necessary amendment to our piaL The easement area is poorly defined and more
restrictive than necessary to protect the already protected wetland. In addition it does not provide for
servicing of, or hook up to tile existing sewer lines tlmt e:\.1end through the proposed easement area.
Since our position on tile conservation easement issue does not conflict with our preliminary plat submittal,
we will be making our case in tillS regard to the city council.
Sincerely.

Dear Mr. Boyer:
This letter is a follow up to our meeting, which took place on April 29, 2002 at
3:00 p.m. in our offices.
It is our intent to forward the proposed preliminary plat (submitted and dated
April 9, 2002) to repJat 13.6 acres into 11 single-family lots and one beach lot,
Boyer Lake Minnewashta Addition, to the Council on May 13,2002.
Staff's support for the granting of the three variances, wetland alteration penn it,
and the conditional use permit for the beach lot, was predicated on thc fact that
additional environmcntal protection was achieved through the additional
conservation easement. After much discussion at the public hearing, the
Planning Commission, on a 4 to 2 vote, supported this projcct based on staff s
conditions.
If you are proposing to change the plat; specifically, if you do not agree with the
conservation easement and/or want to create riparian lots, I believe this is a
significant change to the plat. The variances, wetland alteration permit;and
beach lot pennit need to be reconsidered in lieu of any changes.
Should you decide to submit a revised plan, the city will require an extension to
the 60· Jay deadline to process an application. Tþis wiI! allow the application to
be Únt back to the Planning Commission for a new Public Hearing.
If you have 'any questions, please feel free to contact me at (952) 227-1139.

Dear Ms. Aanenson:
TIlank you for your April 30 follow up leller to our April 29 meeting.
To continn and clarity our position, we are expecting to take our proposed plat to the city council on the
May 13 meeting.
We have yet to be convinced that the conservation easement recommended by staff and approved by the
planning commission is a necessary amendment to our plat TIle easement area is poorly defined and more
restrictive than necessary to protect the already protected wetland. In addition it does not provide for
servicing of, or hook up to the existing sewer lines tllat e~1end through the proposed easement area.
Since our position on the conservation easement issue does not conflict with our preliminary plat submittal,
we will be making our case in tillS regard to the city counciL

Planning Commission Meeting - April 16, 2002
~
Blackowiak: Thank you. Commissioners, anyone have questions of staff?
Feik: Sure, I'll start. Sharmin, I'd like to discuss with you a little bit regarding the beachlot again.
Assuming for just a moment that the beachlot was not constructed and as 1 understand it, we would not
have the ability to deny access to the lake to Lots 5, 6, 7 and 8, and that they would be allowed under our
guidelines, they would be allowed to cross the existing wetland to get access to the beach, is that correct?
AI-Jaff: That's correct. They would need a wetland alteration, but yes that is an accurate statement.
Feik: Okay, so either way they're going to get docks. Some shape or form of dock. Either crossing the
wetlands or putting in a group dock via the beachlot.
AI-J aff: Correct.
Feik: That's it for now, thank you.
Blackowiak: Okay, thanks.
Slagle: Can I ask a follow-up question?
Blackowiak: Sure, go ahead.
Slagle: Does that mean when you ask for a wetland alteration, you're assuming that would be given
correct?
AI-Jaff: Correct.
Slagle: So I mean if it was not given, they would not have docks to the lake.
Al-Jaff: Our past experience has been to grant the wetland alteration. We would ensure minimum
impact on the wetland but yes, it's reasonable to assume that a riparian lot would have lakeshore rights.
Blackowiak: Any other questions? VIi, questions?
Sacchet: Yeah, I've got a couple of questions. First of all I want to clarify, you specified that since the
channel also counts as lake front in terms of the setback requirements, is that Lot 4, Block 2 pad with the
unusual shape, is that within the 75 feet setback that will be required from the channel? Because it
appears to me that it's not.
AI-Jaff: It meets the 75 foot setback. That's one of the reasons why they went with the 50 by 80 house
pad. It was one of two choices. Either a setback from the OHW of the lake.
Sacchet: Or the shape.
AI-Jaff: Which meant encroachment.
Sacchet: So with this shape it actually respects that setback.
AI-Jaff: Correct.

Planning Commission Meeting - April 16, 2002
Planning Commission Meeting - April 16, 2002
Claybaugh: Yeah, I have a few questions. Just like to add my concern with respect to the lack of any
notes regarding the custom grading.
A1-Jaff: I did not find that condition.
Claybaugh: I didn't see anything in the conditions and also on Sheet 2 of 3, there isn't anything that
identified inside the preservation area that any of that was going to be custom graded, and with the
amount of significant trees in there that warrant a little bit more attention in my mind. I guess everything
has probably been covered with the exception of replacement of wetlands. Are they looking at banking
wetlands or I didn't see anything for replacement of wetlands on site...
Haak: They are proposing on site wetland replacement. The applicant's engineer has indicated that they
have prepared a preliminary replacement plan. The replacement is slated for that darkish blue area
adjacent to Basin 3 and that's at a 2 to 1 ratio. In addition to, well the new wetland credit is 1 to 1. A
little, I guess a 1 to 1, and then in order to receive the other portion of the wetland credit they would be
enhancing the existing buffer in that area. North and west of the replaced wetland.
Claybaugh: Okay. So the applicant will be shedding a little more information on that.
Haak: Yeah, he can certainly address that.
Claybaugh: Okay. That's all I have.
Blackowiak: Questions?
LiIlehaug: Could I comment on that same issue?
Blackowiak: Yeah, if you have any questions right now. We have a comment section in a little bit but
this is kind of question.
LiIlehaug: This is kind of a question to staff. In that Basin #3, they do have that created wetland area.
And that doesn't correctly show the impacts to the trees in that area, so those trees would be lost in that
area also. Would that be correct to assume?
Haak: Yes, that area would be graded.
Lillehaug: Okay.
BJackowiak: Thank you. I just actually have one question. I saw the 9 percent grade and Mac I think
this is a question for you. That seems awfully steep for any residential street. You're satisfied that
there's not going to be an issue with that at all? In terms of a safety standpoint.
Sweidan: From the City we can go sometimes up to the maximum 10 percent as safety wise, but here we
are looking also for the grade wise to protect as much as we could trees. Now we could say like you can
go down but that mean that this is going to be affected really bad.
Blackowiak: Right. So you feel this is a good trade-off in terms of what the alternative is?
Planning Conunission Meeting - April 16,2002
Sweidan: Yes. Yes.
Blackowiak; Okay. Great, thank you. Go ahead.
AI-Jaff; Maybe a similar example to this one, Pointe Lake Lucy. It's north of Lake Lucy Road. They
have a 9 percent grade on their street, and it was used in the same manner to minimize impact on the
vegetation. And we haven't had any problems out there.
Blackowiak: Okay . You said so. That north of Lake Lucy, south of Lake Lucy Road, is that where?
AI-Jaff; Yes.
Blackowiak: Right, okay. Alrighty. If there are no more questions, go ahead.
Sidney; I guess one thing I'm wondering if staff could just briefly outline the conditions that are put on
recreational beachlots, and this is for the benefit of the people in the audience just to understand, actually
a large portion of the report deals with the beachlot issue and what the city is requiring for use of a
beach lot If you could just go over that briefly.
AI-Jaff: Sure. The conditional use permit will be recorded against the property, and I need to make that
very clear. All homeowners that purchase a lot here, and become members of this homeowners
association would have to abide by the conditions in the conditional use permit One of the conditions
requires that beachlots meet all requirements of standards for beachlots and that would include total
frontage on the lake, total number of docks, number of slips for boats, mooring, overnight mooring. It
prohibits any boats from being launched off of this beachlot We need to point out that if an association
is in violation of a conditional use permit, the city council can revoke that conditional use permit and take
away those rights. Right now what the applicants are proposing are a trail, dock, and I believe there is a
canoe rack on site as well. If they intended to let's assume at a sand beach, they would need to go
through a conditional use permit amendment We do not automatically make those changes in-house
administratively. So everything that you see in front of you is what they are getting. And I don't know if
that covers the basic...
Slagle; ... wait tillater but I do want to ask you at this point As I look at this property, the first question
that comes to my mind is, it's very unusual with the channel and the request by the applicant to in
essence have two divisions, or subdivisions. And a connector to those. I mean one could argue I believe
somewhat successfully that the 2 homes onto the east side could in essence be of their nature. Not
connected to the other division because what you're requiring is requiring some variances, some wetland
alterations for the access to Lot 4. One could argue that Lot 4, based upon soil concerns, the wetland
alterations. Someone might ask, why would you put a house there? It sounds like the ground isn't the
best for a house. So as I, and there's people who maybe have seen that more than I have but the question
I have is, was there discussions with the applicant about those such things? Is the ground really ideal for
another house? Have you considered the two off to their own and being connected through Washta Bay
Road? And I'm asking staff for some background. Was that discussion there? And then one last
question if you can think about it, with respect to the channel, as I see this and understand what you're
saying is here, and sort of this is the present plan, as a conunission member I want to know that there's
safeguards. That we're not going to see people putting docks out over the wetland, the wetlands on
Basin 2. We're not going to see people tying up boats inside the channel, even though I think I did read
that the applicant could make a request to have that modified for dockage or something like that I don't
want to use that same word, so I'mjust sitting here saying, what is the alternate plan and we'll hear a
6
--
Planning Commission Meeting - April 16, 2002
Slagle: At this time it's not going to have a dock.
Al-Jaff: Correct. We had the discussion with them. They, if you'll look at the plans they are showing 10
docks. Or 10 slips, and staff basically stated that you can request it but staff is recommending against it.
Slagle: Now could they put a dock inside the channel if they applied for that?
AI-Jaff: No. They did request that, but Lori.
Haak: The number of docks is linúted on this site to the site. There is only so much natural lakeshore,
and they come, I believe it was 20 feet short of being able to have an additional lot, so even if they did
not include Lot, I believe it's Lot 8, on the far west side, southwest comer, they would not be able to
make that a confonning lot. It would not be 90 feet wide. It would be 708 feet wide if they used every
inch of lakeshore, the natural lakeshore that exists on the property.
Slagle: Okay.
Haak: As far as the wetland impacts for that lot east of the channel, Lot 4 there, by law we are required
to try and avoid wetland impacts and so staffs discussions with the applicant have been that we need to
avoid and núninúze wherever possible. The applicant, as well as, we have inner departmental wars about
things like that because then the planning department may say that you can't really deny access to a
buildable area like that so then it gets into the jurisdiction of the Planning Commission and the City
Council.
Blackowiak: Okay Vii, you have another question?
Sacchet: Yeah, if 1 could just ask one more question that Commissioner Slagle brought up the question
how buildable is the soil on Lot 4, Block 2. I am actually as much concerned or even more concerned
from having been out there about Lot 2. Possibly even Lot I of Block 2. There is, really it's pretty, I
think it's relatively wet. It's very close and the wetland has these two anTIS that literally reach towards
that pad. And I'm curious to know from a City side, how do we deal with that? I mean do we, does an
applicant have to show us soil qualities or do we have a responsibility from the city on whether they're
going to have a basement full of water and what have you?
AI-Jaff: The soils report is usually subnútted at the time of building pernút, and it's very common for us
to have soil corrections as building pernúts come in.
Sacchet: So that would be an aspect addressed when a building pernút comes in, so at this point we
wouldn't even really look at that sort of an aspect. Okay.
AI-Jaff: We suspect that there will be soil corrections on that site.
Sacchet: Okay.
Sweidan: May I add something?
Sacchet: Please.

Planning Commission Meeting - April 16, 2002
Sweidan: Your building department always requests a soil testing for any building pad. And regarding
Lot 4, actually it's without basement.
Sacchet: Lot 4' s no basement?
Sweidan: No basement.
Sacchet: Lot 1 and 2?
Sweidan: Yes.
Sacchet: No basement either?
Sweidan: Could have basement but it's a lookout basement.
Sacchet: It's a lookout basement.
Sweidan: Yes, but for Lot 4 no basement.
Sacchet: Alright. Didn't really answer it but gave me a little bit of a context, thank you.
Blackowiak: Okay, thank you. Okay, would the applicant or their designee like to make a presentation?
Please step up to the microphone and state your name and address for the record.
Bob Boyer: Yeah, I will. My name is Bob Boyer. I'm with Boyer Building Corporation, and I'm here
with some other gentlemen who I think will help me in the presentation. I'll introduce them now. First
off we have Troy Gamble. Troy is with Anderson Engineering and he is assisting us in the engineering
of the project. And then Pete Boyer. You're going to find this is kind of a family effort here. Pete
Boyer, my brother. And then Joe Boyer also. Brother. I want to thank you all for being here tonight and
listening to our request. This is something that we've been dealing with and working on for about 6
years now, and we think we've got a project here that's extremely well suited for the site. What I'd like
to do is do a short presentation, or just short talk to you a little bit. It will take about 2-3 minutes and
then I'm sure you'll be opening it up for questions to the rest of the people here and I would appreciate
an opportunity at that time, as the discussion is flowing, to have an opportunity to address issues and
concerns that come up. I think the last time we were here it was kind of a, you know I had my
opportunity and that was it and there was several people came up and spoke. There was no attempt to try
to resolve issues and talk things through so if there's an opportunity to do that, I would appreciate that.
Blackowiak: Yeah, I think what we'll do is, you can make your presentation. Then I'll open it for a
public hearing and then members of the public can speak and then if you'd like a couple minutes at the
end of the public hearing to address concerns, you could do it at that time. I'm not going to do it one by
one.
Bob Boyer: No, I understand. That's fine.
Blackowiak: Okay.
Bob Boyer: Appreciate that. My involvement in this project, this property dates back about 35 years
when my father purchased this land and the adjoining property that is now called Sterling Estates.

Planning Commission Meeting - April 16,2002
Through the years we've built tree homes, we've camped, fished in this parcel of property. This was
home to me and my brothers and family for many years. I tell you this to put in context the approach we
went through when planning the development of this property. We tried to envision a neighborhood we
would want to live in. Where neighbors share equally many of the assets of the site and can help bring
them together. This was our goal. It is however important in the planning of a unique piece of property
like this that it be done in such a way that all parties can benefit. The adjoining neighbors will benefit by
eliminating undesirable buildings and road accesses, and undesirable road accesses are removed. The
homes are constructed, the homes that will be constructed are unarguably going to significantly boost the
market values of the adjacent homes and the adjacent neighborhoods. The density of the housing is
significantly as we mentioned earlier, significantly less than both neighborhoods on each side, both
Sterling Estates and the Manor property. The density is 1.6 units per acre, which is significantly less
than what's recommended for the comprehensive plan in that area. The City will also benefit. By the
extension of the roads and the cul-de-sacs it will make egress easier for snowplows and emergency
vehicles. By increasing the property values means tax base increase. The proposed regional ponds,
again the ponds on the north side of the property are primarily regional ponds, will resolve some serious
water quality issues in Lake Minnewashta that have been impossible to resolve to date. The group docks
and preservation of the shoreline will benefit water fall production and overall water quality. The
grouping of the houses on high ground minimize impact since the wetland areas. The new homeowners
that will occupy this property will also benefit by having a beachlot dockage that all residents will have
equal access to and enjoy the lake and the channel. Fishermen have enjoyed the fishing in this channel
for decades, and I suspect the residents will enjoy it as well. Trails will allow maintenance free and
pedestrian traffic to neighboring communities and to the beachlot. In closing I would ask the commission
while considering the two variances, to value the intent of the ordinances not necessarily the letter of the
ordinances. I would also ask you to consider that this is not a parcel of land in the nùddle of a field. It is
unique for many reasons and I think requires us to plan in a unique way. I think the proposal we bring to
you tonight is the best use of the site. It strikes that balance of benefit for all parties, particularly the
future homeowners. Thank you and if you have any questions we'd be very happy to answer them.
Blackowiak: Okay, thank you. Commissioners, any questions of Mr. Bob Boyer right now? Go ahead
Rich.
Slagle: I've got one. Mr. Boyer, can you just address my comments about what I'll call Lot 4. The
finger that sticks out. Again, if you're someone who walked in and saw this sitting here, I mean would
you ask yourself as a citizen or just an interested observer, is that, I mean it looks like we're barely fitting
in a house on that piece of property. And to me that's a very sensitive piece of property. I know we're
within a couple of approvals of variances and alterations, it's fine but I'mjust asking you from a builder,
is that sort of on the edge?
Bob Boyer: Well that one, not at all. If you walk the property you'll see that that's, it's actually a
gorgeous view. A house looks southwest. It's a gorgeous sunset view from that lot. It's not that far from
an adjacent house right basically in this area, that was built about 40-50 years ago that had no soil
correction whatsoever. There's no reason to believe that that lot has soil correction. When that channel
was dug back in 1958 or 56, somewhere around there, there's no indication that that site, that area had
soil problems. A lot of the soils that are there now are simply soils that were removed with the channel
area and spread around and they cover over very suitable soil that's in place so, no. In fact the site I
don't think will probably even require any unnecessary soil compaction whatsoever. The lot, the site,
because of the distance from the shoreline, it does require us to get a variance to narrow the lot to I
believe 50 feet as opposed to 60 feet, but I think my brother John submitted plans that showed many,
10
Planning Commission Meeting - April 16, 2002
many very suitable homes that would look very attractive in that area. Where you'd comfortably fit on a
50 foot lot. So I wouldn't be afraid at all to live there myself. I'd love to.
BIackowiak: UIi, question.
Sacchet: Yeah Mr. Boyer. Just to carry the same question up to what is Lot 2 in Block 2. When I was
out there I was actually more concemed about that because it seems a pretty low elevation there. Very
close to the wetland. You're confident that you're not going to run into a water issue there? No, Block
2. On the other side. West side.
Bob Boyer: Oh, okay.
Sacchet: I'm talking about that one, because it's, the way I recall it, the Lot 4 that we just talked about,
it's actually slightly on an elevation. While Lot 2 and even to some extent Lot 1 up on that west side are
I consider it a little bit of a dip. A dip next to a wetland and therefore my concern.
Bob Boyer: I'm going to refer to my brother Pete to answer that one because he's much more familiar
with that site than I am.
Pete Boyer: Thank you council members. Planning committee members and I appreciate your interest in
that lot. Those lots I've owned for oh, onto 30 years now and that's upland property over here. This is
uplanù area over here. It's clay with about a foot and a half of black topsoil and it drains well to the
west. So it's actually the regional pond is located in a upland area partially, most of it. A little bit of it as
a wetland because we have to get a large enough size. But these two homes would be located on very
suitable ground. A lot of times you know that because Ash trees grow like mad up in here. They love
upland. They don't grow down in here, in this lowland. And the same thing goes for this property over
here. You'll see no signs offill but lots of bit, mature trees growing. Well, box-elder trees unfortunately
grow in this area. But you know it's good ground because large trees don't grow typically in wetland
areas. That's it.
Sacchet: So in other words you're pretty confident that you're not getting in a situation there.
Pete Boyer: Yeah, these are, this is also very good buildable sites.
Sacchet: If I may ask one more question, which is somewhat related. When I went out there I was really
impressed with the beautiful evergreens which I would assume is probably mostly on Lot I, and it looked
like you were planning to pretty much cut those all down. I wonder whether there has been any
consideration on the lot line to the west to preserve some of those evergreens as a buffer to the neighbor
because we have a unique situation with a back yard facing a side of a new house.
Pete Boyer: Exactly. I'm glad you're interested in the preservation of those trees. So are we. I planted
those trees when they were very small, because we value trees. We value the land and we value the
preservation of the land. And I planted those, we took some trees off of there and moved them around.
There's some trees right along this area over here you may have noticed as well. We're trying to, our
goal is to move these trees around the site so that we can create borders if we can, buffers from the
highway. Buffers along the wetland areas if we need to. Our goal is not to cut down those trees because
they're, we've spent some effort planting and watering those things so we want to keep them going, but
we, there's a lot of work that has to be done to create these regional ponds. This one over here. This big
one over here and this one over here. And of course this local pond here. This takes care of the water on
II
Planning Commission Meeting - April 16, 2002
this site itself, so. The site has, you're right. Lot of issues. Lot of water issues and we think we've
handled those water management issues. The wetland preservation issues. We've worked hard to
manage those. That's why we gave up riparian rights for the boat docks along the lake. I mean if we go
back and give those folks access to the lake, the lot value, lot value's go up.
Sacchet: Specifically my question was whether you see any way to preserve some of these evergreens on
the west side as a buffer.
Pete Boyer: The west side.
Sacchet: Is that east or west?
Claybaugh: It's the east side.
Sacchet: That's east, sorry.
Pete Boyer: This is the east over here. Is that what you mean?
Sacchet: Okay. Because at this point you have like 3 trees there on the southern side of that lot
preserved. I wonder whether it's possibly preserve some of those evergreens too to have a little buffering
there.
Pete Boyer: We intend to spade these out of here. The trees that are along here. We have a buffer along.
Sacchet: To replant some of those, is that what you're saying?
Pete Boyer: We would replant these down along the cul-de-sac side. Wherever we can plant them. We
don't want to bulldoze them out of there. We want to use them back. That's the intent. That's what
we've designed this property to do. The trees are planted there now because it's upland area and they
grow well there. They'll have to be moved into other areas as we move the houses, but that's our history.
If you guys, folks are familiar with Trillium Bay out on the other side of Lake Minnetonka on Halstead's
Bay, we planted all those trees on the back land there too and now they're towering. Huge. It's been our
business to plant trees in the land fill.
Sacchet: Thank you for addressing my question.
Blackowiak: Okay, thank you. Do you have a question?
Claybaugh: Yeah, I have a question.
Blackowiak: Sure.
Claybaugh: Could you comment on a willingness or a commitment to doing some custom grading
inside, specifically the preliminary tree preservation plan which is identified as Sheet 4 of 5. Substantial
area within all the buildable areas on both Block I and Block 2 is identified as removal of trees,
wholesale. Prom my standpoint I would certainly be a lot more comfortable to see, I know what a custom
grading looks like. I'd like you to comment on your willingness to entertain this.
12
Planning Commission Meeting - April 16, 2002
Pete Boyer: And we certainly do want to do that. That's the reason for the suggestion for the street slope
being greater.
Claybaugh: I understand that but the plan that I have in front of me right now calls for the removal of
the trees. It doesn't mention any custom grading and I don't have anything in the conditions that
identifies... by staff.
Pete Boyer: Yeah, I think the indication on your staff report was that we would, you recommended that I
think Sharmin.
AI-Jaff: Yes. I left a condition out and we need to add it in there. And if I may add regarding the
grading plans, we always ask developers to provide us with worst case scenarios as far as grading. That's
how we base our tree calc's so discussions have taken place with the applicant. They have agreed to
custom grading those sites. We should have added the condition. It's my fault.
Claybaugh: Okay, so the applicant's in agreement with that?
Pete Boyer: We don't, yeah. We want to do that. Clearing all the trees is not a good thing. We want to
keep the trees. However let's remember, a lot of those trees are not trees, which trees we keep. A lot of
the trees in this bluff area right here, on this area, that used to be an old farm. The remains of which you
can see the old farm foundations right along this side here. A lot of those trees in there are boxelders and
what's the other kind of trees. Cottonwoods, that was the issue. And they're not even suggested by tl¡e
city to be desirable trees. We don't want to take out the woods. The woods is great, but maybe to take
out those boxelders and cottonwoods and plant back better trees is a better deal. In the long run it's
probably a better deal to get oaks and maples and ash in there so, but with boxelders there they'll take
over everything we can't do anything about getting better trees in there so we're of the opinion that
getting the boxelders out of there, cleaning some of that out but the good trees, the ones that you really
want to keep, custom grading around it is a significant idea.
Claybaugh: I understand that you'd do some selective removal based on the species of the trees and...
Pete Boyer: Yeah, if you see a big maple tree, let's keep it, yeah.
Claybaugh: I just wanted some assurance or some language in there that I had that one agreement on
there.
Blackowiak: Okay excuse me, Sharmin. Could you give us an idea of what a condition like,
encompassing custom grading would read? You said it was omitted so what would you suggest or what
are you.
AI-Jaff: Lots 1,2,3,6,7, and 8 of Block 1 shall be custom graded.
Sidney: That could be added to condition 37 that's on the grading plan.
AI-Jaff: Correct.
Blackowiak: Okay, great. Thank you. I'm sorry, go ahead. Ijust wanted to clarify that before we
moved on any farther.
13
Planning Commission Meeting - April 16, 2002
Pete Boyer: There was a question that was in the staff report also about surfacing of the pathway that
connects us the, actually the two cul-de-sacs. It's a pathway that runs from this cul-de-sac around the
edge of the wetland, up in the city of Shorewood, down through this way and comes around and climbs
the grade up here to the cul-de-sac and then comes down the grade and back over and level area back
over to the, it's all in the beach10t area over to the docks. Discussion is what should that surface be, and
we're not particularly, we don't care what it is if it's blacktop, sod, wood chips. It's what do the people
want What does the city want and what does the DNR want so we do know that the sloped area on the,
going up the grade over here, that has to be a hard surface because it won't be able to be maintained any
other way. I've spent 20 years working at the Arboretum putting in pathways for them out there, and the
first thing we did back in the 80's was blacktop their sloping pathways because they couldn't keep them
maintained and it was eroded. But on the level areas, there's no reason they can't be sod, mowed grass,
or wood chips. I mean we're not particularly definitive on that
Blackowiak: Okay. Do you have anything else to add?
Claybaugh: No additional questions. With respect, not to him or Lot number 4 there but I understand
that you commented based on the species of trees that were present on some of the questionable lots, any
idea what the water table is out there? I'm still questioning the fact that there wasn't any soil borings
done or any test holes dug. I was out there and just from a visual standpoint it looks suspect to me in
terms of the elevation out there.
Pete Boyer: Yeah, Lot 4 is a lot that comes down into a flatter area. Still quite, the footprint where the
house sits, the pad elevation is still going to be quite a bit above any water levels. But that is down in an
area where we don't have a lot of definitive information.
Claybaugh: Well anytime that it's indicated as a slab on grade in Minnesota, that raises a flag for me
with respect to questionable soils or water tables so. You're telling me that no test holes have been dug.
No soil borings. No identification of a water table down in that area?
,
Pete Boyer: Well that's in undisturbed areas as well and so I don't expect it to be real unusual.
Typically what happens on an edge of a slope like that, that comes down into a narrow wetland area i~,
the upland soils like the black topsoil gets thicker as you get down there and the deeper soils, the clay
which it is up above is clay. All the houses we built up along Dartmouth were in heavy clay. But that
clay level comes down, as it does over here. We've done, we've done digging and why I dig my trees,
this is all heavy clay over here with only about 6 inches of topsoil. It gets heavier down through here but
the clay goes down. The subsoil clay goes down. You can follow it down to a bottom, and that's what's
in the bottom of the lake. So you have maybe 6 feet I don't know exactly but you'll have more black
humus material above, but the issue is if you have a home in this area, you'll find that your lower level
doesn't want to get that low or it just gets too close to the water level. Raise the home up and you do a
soil compaction and that's what the houses have underneath them over along the lake front over here, the
soil compactions. It's not unusual to do that We know the ground, the sub-ground is good.
Claybaugh: Right I was just specifically that particularly lot again to, reiterating what some of the other
commissioners have said, strikes me as a little more environmentally sensitive so there's a feel that with
the wetland mitigation and slab on grade and the position of that lot with respect to the channel and the
lake, that you're pushing the envelope there a little bit If I understand you correctly, you don't feel that
way?

Planning Commission Meeting - April 16,2002
AI-Jaff: There is a 10 foot setback maintained by this house pad. Oh, this one?
Blackowiak: Yes, that's the one I'm talking about.
AI-Jaff: .. .the existing house maintains approximately 60 feet setbacks. This lot meets all ordinance
requirements.
Blackowiak: So it does meet current ordinance?
Al-Jaff: Yes...
Blackowiak: Okay, thank you.
Renee Zirbes: Good evening commissioners. My name is Renee Zirbes. I live at 6220 Barberry Circle.
That's located in Boyer Sterling Estates, which is directly west of this development. I have I guess
several concerns about the development. First of all, with regard to Lot 4, I believe it was noted that a
variance was required and the question I had was, what are the extraordinary circumstances which would
allow for that variance? You would need to fill something to that effect and I haven't heard what that is.
There's a lot of wildlife in this area and I'm really concerned about how that's going to affect it. My
biggest concern has to do with the dock configuration. This area of the lake is a small bay, and you
increase the amount of motor vehicles in this area, you're really going to destroy the quality of that bay.
I believe, if I'm understanding this correctly, and please correct me if I'm wrong, that this dock
configuration was proposed in an alternative to having 5 beach front parcels. Is that correct? Okay. And
you had noted that each one of these beach front parcels would have 3 boats, is that correct? Are they
allowed motorized boats or it's one motorized boat and one canoe or what's the requirements on that in
the city code?
Haak: It's not specified. They could all 3 be motorized watercraft, or non-motorized watercraft.
Renee Zirbes: Okay. Well the point I'm making is, I think it's really unlikely if these were beach front
lots, that you're going to have 5 property owners with 3 motorized boats at their dock. I mean likely
they're going to have maybe one speed boat, a canoe and a sailboat. This configuration where they're
having 12 slips so it can serve everyone within the subdivision, you're increasing the amount of
motorized vehicles on this lake by quite a bit and that's really going to affect the water quality. I don't
think it's a logical conclusion to solving that issue. Another concern is that they're saying you know,
well they need a wetland alteration permit and that that would just automatically be granted. I don't
think that that's true. I think there's a lot of communities that do not automatically grant the wetland
alteration permits. Many lakes are preserving all the existing undisturbed lakeshore that they have. We
could certainly do the same. So I really am opposed to this having 5 lots that have their own dock would
be better than having this configuration because you're going to have so many more motorized vehicles
on this lake and it's really going to destroy the quality of it. Also I haven't heard anything, I've heard
mention that there's a homeowners association that's going to govern this. We had purchased property in
bordering Sterling Estates as I had stated earlier, and we have an easement and an outlot. We're not right
on the lake but have an easement and a small portion that goes out to the lake. And when the Boyer's
established that they did not establish a homeowners association. There's been a lot of issues with it.
The Boyer's ultimately sold the outlot to one of the property owners. There's 10 lots that have rights in
that lakeshore parcel, in our subdivision. They sold it to one of those individuals who then tried to
terminate everyone else's lakeshore rights. So I £!uess I'd like ~omp: darifiC'Minn on how thp\I'r... n]o;r,nn;nn
Planning Commission Meeting - April 16, 2002
on doing this. Is there really a homeowners association? How are those issues being dealt with? And
then thirdly, I don't know if traffic considerations have been considered or if there's anything in the code
that would address that issue. I often wait 5 to 10 minutes to get onto Highway 7 in the moming, and by
adding this many new homes, they're going off of Dartmouth and onto Arbor Lane and onto Highway 7,
you're adding you know potential of at least 18 more vehicles going onto Highway 7 during rush hour
traffic and we're going to have cars backed up by quite a ways. And I think that addresses all my
concerns. Thank you.
Blackowiak: Thank you. Okay. Lori, I have a quick question. Something that she just asked, and I've
got I guess maybe it's Lori or Sharmin. She said that it would be unlikely that each home would have 3
motorized boats, if they had each lake lots. Is there any restriction on people leasing slips? I know that
for example Lake Minnetonka it's fairly common if somebody has rights for 2 boats or 3 boats at their
home and only has 1 motorized boat, that they'll lease out a certain number of dock feet. Is there any
kind of, anything in place in Chanhassen about that?
Haak: I believe the qualification, it basically turns into a marina if you're leasing spaces. The current
state requirements and the city's requirements are that the watercraft be owned by the resident or a blood
relative of the owner. Or excuse me, the property owner or a blood relative of that owner. So you would
not be able to lease to a friend, or something like this. And just as a side note, watercraft does include
things like jet skis. It's fairly common I believe on lakes when I've been out on Lotus Lake and Lake
Minnewashta to see a pontoon, a speed boat and a jet ski, or 2 jet skis and something else so I don't think
it's really stretching it all that far to say that you could potentially have 3 motorized watercraft on each of
those lots.
Blackowiak: Okay, thank you. Sorry, thanks. Go ahead.
Kelly Sheehan: Good evening. My name is Kelly Sheehan. I live at 2951 Washta Bay Road. That'd be
this home property right here. I purchased my house from Pete Boyer oh I think it was 1989 or so, and
one of my main concerns is when I bought that home I planted a row of beautiful Colorado Blue
evergreen trees there and they're real close to the easement that's going in there. And first of all I'd like
to make sure they stayed intact and weren't damaged. I'd like that on the record. Secondly, I presume
that the property lines are going to staked and surveyed, is that correct?
Blackowiak: That's a fair assumption, yes.
Kelly Sheehan: They have or haven't done that?
Blackowiak: I don't know that they've done anything yet. As far as I know they haven't. But that would
be.
Kelly Sheehan: My reason for asking is, when they're done, Pete Boyer owns a certain amount of this
property that's adjacent to mine where they existing, there's an existing driveway there. And when
they're done I would like to make sure that was fully completed and not neglected because it has been
neglected for the last12 years. I mowed his lawn the last 12 years and I know there's a certain amount of
neglect in that regard so I have a concern over it looking right because my property's adjacent to it. And
then last, and not least, the 9 docks here. Just a question. Who determines who can have dock rights?
How do they do that? Is that a state law, city law? Property owner's rights?
Blackowiak: I believe that would be homeowners associations. Sharmin, is that?
18
Planning Commission Meeting - April 16,2002
Al-Iaff: That's correct.
Blackowiak: So that would be determined by the association when lots were sold and I guess that would
be an applicant question.
Kelly Sheehan: So it's the property owners?
Blackowiak: Well I wouldn't say property owners necessarily, no. I would say developer and
association and I think we should ask the developer when he comes back up.
Pete Boyer: Would you rephrase your question? I'm a little confused. Who determines the rules
regarding putting...
Kelly Sheehan: Yeah, how do you determine who gets dock rights on a property?
Claybaugh: Lori, do you want to come back to the shoreline? Lineal footage there that translates into
the number of dock slips they can have.
Kelly Sheehan: There's 9 docks there in front of here?
Blackowiak: Yes. That's what's proposed.
Kelly Sheehan: So who determines who gets a dock there?
BIackowiak: I would assume it's the dèveloper but let's, when he comes back up let's ask him.
Kelly Sheehan: I mean I have, when I was sold that house I was sold a bit of a bill of goods because I
was told I had lake rights. And they said I could put a, Boyer's sales person, I believe his name was
Brian, said that, and I mean this may be an argument for a different day but he said I had dock rights and
in reality I had lake access, so I was, and it's my fault because I didn't check on it, but if anybody can
have a lake rights, why can't we if we're that close to the lake?
Blackowiak: Okay. This may be a separate issue but what's the definition.
Kelly Sheehan: Well it's relative because it's a quality of life issue.
Blackowiak: Well exactly. I'll just ask, what's the definition of lake rights versus dock access. Can you
clarify that?
Kelly Sheehan: Access means you can walk to the lake. Lake rights mean you can put a dock and a boat
there.
Blackowiak: Right. Sharmin, correct from a city standpoint?
AI-Iaff: That is correct, and as far as who will be able to use those docks, it would be those 1 I homes.
Now of course there will be one homeowner that.
Blackowiak: Or 2.
19
Planning Commission Meeting - April 16, 2002
AI-Jaff: Or 2. that won't be able to. But that is a decision that both the developer, as was stated earlier,
both the developer and the homeowners association together would have to make.
Kelly Sheehan: Well if they can put a dock, I mean everybody would like to have a dock and a boat on
that lake. I mean how do we get to do that? I mean I'm closer probably than all these people on that
back lot Those back 4 lots.
Slagle: You could buy Lot 4.
Kelly Sheehan: I'll pay cash for it No, is there some way that I can appeal that or go through the city to
do that? If they can do it, why can't we?
Blackowiak: Well I think that's a separate issue and I think.
Feik: They're taking a parcel of land and creating an association similar to a condominium association.
Kelly Sheehan: Yeah, but it's not lakeshore property though. Their lots aren't lakeshore property.
Feik: .. .to this parcel. You would have to buy into this condominium association of sorts.
Kelly Sheehan: Okay, so then I'm voicing my disapproval that they have 9 docks there when they only
have 4, actually 5 lakeshore lots.
Claybaugh: But they do have a number of riparian lots that do have dock rights.
Kelly Sheehan: Have what? Lake bearing lots?
Blackowiak: Riparian. Lake lots.
Kelly Sheehan: Where are they?
Blackowiak: Well they could be is the issue. 5 through 8 could be.
Claybaugh: 5 through 8, and through the association they're basically pooling that ability.
Kelly Sheehan: Yeah, so they've got, we've got 4 lake lots and you're saying that they've got 9 docks
down with 4 lake lots.
Blackowiak: Correct
Kelly Sheehan: So how does that compute? My math doesn't compute. I mean you've got 9 docks,
you've got 4 lots.
Blackowiak: Okay Sharmin, would you go through the math on that please.
Kelly Sheehan: No, I understand the math but what I'm saying is you've got 4 lots, lake lots. These
people aren't on the lake.
20
Planning Conunission Meeting - April 16, 2002
Blackowiak: They don't have 9 docks. There are 9 slips.
AI-Jaff: That's correct.
Kelly Sheehan: It's kind of the same thing. You've got 9 boats out there.
Feik: They're assembling a private association for access to the.

last comment. I hope you've read Sarah Susankas, The Not So Big House, and you're familiar with
those. One thing I haven't seen anything tonight is what these proposed houses are going to look like.
How big they are, and I just encourage you to be sensitive to the rest of the lake and what's happening
and let's face it, I mean those Durr Homes are right on top of each other, neck to neck. For me, a million
bucks would be a lot better spent on a 3,500 square foot house with a nice lot and some green buffer
around it and I hope you'll consider doing something in the honor of like Kyle Hunt is going with his
Cottagewood homes and something a little bit more right sized for those lots. Thank you.
Blackowiak: Thank you.
John Getsch: My name is John Getsch and I have property at 7500 Dogwood Road, just down on the
southeast side of the lake. The issue of outlots has come up before on the lake, and it's a lot of concern
people that have property on the lake and the use of the outlots. There's several over on the west side
that are, I consider abuse their right to use the lake. Parking motor homes, holding parties down there. I
don't know how many boats they're entitled to have there but they keep bringing more and more in and
then with personal watercraft coming in, they consider those freebies. The issue here is, you've got 9,
supposedly 9 slips with this outlot. And somebody mentioned something about putting in canoes. Not
being able to put in, having a canoe rack but then saying we're not supposed, you're not allowed to
launch boats, does a canoe fit in that equation or not? Then the next thing is, if it's canoes, what about
personal watercrafts? There's a lot of homes already abusing that on the lake where they have 2, 3
personal watercrafts, pontoon boat, row boat, canoe, all on one lot. If you're going to, you know are you
going to enforce it here and not there? The next issue that I see as a problem with the way this is laid out
is, one. The taxation. You've got land. You're separating the value of the lakeshore from the lot. It's
being put in an association. Is the association going to pay the equivalent tax of what that's worth to
those homeowners? In other words, are you taking the value away from the tax base? Putting it some
place where it can't be taxed. It's a big issue. And to me it's almost like gerrymandering. Come along
and well that was easy, we'll just put this in an easement. We'll strip it off and those homes don't have
lake rights so they can't be taxed that way, but in essence they do. You're going to see a path coming off
the back of all those going right down, all 4 of those homes are going to have paths coming off the back
of them going right down to that thing. They're not going to walk out the front of their house, out to the
cul-de-sac, down a path around a circle. They're not going to go that way. They're going to walk right
down there. And so in essence you're just creating a legal way to get around it. And you're going to
have people starting to haul stuff up through the wetlands, so it's just a, I think it's, the way that that's
laid out, it doesn't make any sense to strip. If you want to have an outlot, make it come right down here.
Give them what they can have for that, but this has to stay with those lots because otherwise you're just

house. Thirdly, this outlot number 4, would this particular driveway be joint use or joint access for other
people? My observation would be is that people from these lots would tend to utilize this to get down to
the lake. And one other area that I'm concemed about, I really don't, from my perspective, I have a dock
out here. To see a 9 or IO dock arrangement stuck out there is cluttering and I would prefer to see
something consideration done to an individual docks off each lot out there with maybe a community dock
out here for the other homes.
Blackowiak: Thank you.
Sue Fiedler: My name is Sue Fiedler and I live at 3121 Dartmouth Drive which is just 2 houses in from
just west of the entrance, and my concem is simple but I need to know if there's any plans to widen
Dartmouth Drive. I think someone said it's 50 feet right now and I feel that's probably going to be
crowded with the heavy equipment, and I'm not recommending that it be widened. And I'm wondering
also, if that road is damaged from the heavy equipment, are we responsible as homeowners, the people
who live along here, or is that something that the Boyer's will absorb the cost? And in looking at this,
I'm assuming that this Lot 4, that emergency equipment can get down there and turn around and get to
that house. I would assume that's been considered because I know previously that was an issue in here,
whether a fire truck can be able to get in there and turn around, and that looks crowded for that lot there.
Thank you.
Blackowiak: Thank you. Matt or Max, can you talk about equipment damage on a road? Who's
normally responsible if something like that happens during construction?
Sweidan: .. .responsible for it, but if there is any damage due to their equipment, to abuse the road, they
are going to be responsible to it But this is a public street so the city's responsible for it
Blackowiak: Okay, and so what does it mean, you say the city's responsible. So it has to be repaired, the
city would repair it? Are costs passed along to adjoining property owners? Benefiting property owners?
How does that happen?
Sweidan: Let's say whenever they are tying with the streets together, that they did the damage let's say
beyond that they have to repair it due to their construction or tie in, but overall it's a public street and it's
the city responsibility. They would not be responsible.. .of anything. And the widening, regarding the
widening or the you know, increase the width of the street or right-of-way, no. There is no plan for
increasing the width of the street
Blackowiak: Okay, thank you.
Jim Ginther: Good evening. My name is Jim Ginther and I reside at 3611 Ironwood Road, which is
some of the older homes that came out of the DUff Development when they closed off 7. And a couple
comments I have. Mostly mine is around lake usage and the activity on the lake and having grown up
there since 1970, now living on that lake, I've had the opportunity to see how that has grown, and I guess
one thing 1 want to state is, I have just a general concem and the idea of creating additional outlots on the
lake. Kind of to Rich's comments earlier, I see this one and I see potentially it looks like maybe another
one down the road off Camp Tanadoona, and my concern is that we're just basically creating additional
lake activity out there, which is already with young children getting a little bit scary, especially with the
personal watercraft that are out there. And we take a look at the numbers. While they say lots are
allowed to have 3 boats, I guess 1 question which is true, and I have 3 boats and I have a lot, but I'm not
using all 3 at one time. And I think usage on the lake is defined as when you're using them, not

Blackowiak: In this. In the subdivision variance.
AI-Jaff: Correct. You only, you're only looking at those 4 findings rather than the zoning variance
finding. They're two separate types of findings.
Blackowiak: Okay, thank you. Okay, is there anyone else who'd like to speak on this issue? Okay,
seeing no one I will let Mr. Boyer come up and if you'd like to take just a couple minutes to highlight
some of the comments or to respond to a couple of the comments, you certainly may.
Bob Boyer: Thank you. Really there's only a couple of comments I have relative to some of the
concerns some of the neighbors have. The first one has to do with the lot off Washta Bay Road. I think
the first gentleman came up here, I forgot his name. At any rate, his concern was that there was a
proximity from his house to the lot behind him. And again, I think what needs to be remembered and
understood is that this is a lot pad. In other words it's the location where the lot, where the buildable area
on the lot is going to be. It doesn't necessarily we're going to fill the pad up with a house. But it means
those are the borders with which the house could be built. So it's unlikely that on his easterly side of that
Lot 1 that there'd be an entire wall of house right up against the lot, buildable lot area. More than likely
it might be a garage with just filling a portion of that so at any rate I think his concern about having some
bleak wall that believe me fills that lot area is probably not going to happen. And also we're certainly
willing to be good neighbors and if going together with him on some kind of plantings along there to
mitigate the sound, I'm sure we're willing to do that. The other issues regarding Sterling Estates. 1 think
a number of people brought up issues about Sterling Estates, the dockage issues there which is, has
nothing to do with this development whatsoever. It just so happens it was the same developer. My father
developed those back 35 years ago and the ordinances and things that have occurred since then regarding
lake usage and lake lots have changed since then so what may have been doable back 35 years ago,
absolutely is not doable today. So the opportunity for the use of that access that was provided has been
taken away and not by Boyer. It was taken away by the City. So if people are upset about that they
should contact the city, but not complain about us to us. Then when it comes to dockage on this property
Ijust want to make sure there's clarity as to what we're asking for. And the reason why we're asking for
it. Lot 4, we are requesting that that lot, it does have a 90 foot frontage. We are asking that that lot
would have it's own dock. On the westerly side we are requesting 10 docks on that side. The reason for
that is we would, you know the whole idea of grouping the docks together here was to eliminate this
sense of caste system where you have the people on the lake that have everything and the people off the
lake have nothing, and I think you can go around the lake and see a number of communities that are like
that. We wanted to avoid that and the reason we grouped the docks on the beachlot was two-fold. One is
to preserve the lakeshore, for one. But also to allow the people in the back an opportunity to have a boat,
if they want to. We don't want to leave someone out. What that basically is saying is, someone'. going
to be left out. Now, in our calculations we think 10 lots or 10 docks fit the requirements of the city code.
City ordinance. And essentially it's this. If you measure from the far westerly end, over to the edge of
this lot, you'll come to 667 feet shoreland. According to the city ordinance the lot has to have at least
200 feet of frontage in order to be allowed as a dock lot. Once it exceeds that 200 feet, what we did was
we divided the number of boats by the feet per boat. In other words, if you take 10 boats times the 667,
you end up with 1 boat for every 66 feet. And if you divide, or multiply that by 10 you come up to, what
666 feet, right? So in our minds, it fits. We're not further encumbering the property with 10 lots, or 10
boats. We're using the exact number of boats per foot that is recommended by the ordinance. So we
really think it's important to be able to get those 10 docks. Again, I think those are the only two issues
that we needed to address. The planners really did a good job of addressing the other issues. Thank you.
Planning Commission Meeting - April 16,2002
Blackowiak: Okay.
Audience: Just one clarification. You say lake front. . .can have 200 feet of lake front has a dock, or did 1
misunderstand you?
Bob Boyer: No. According to the beachfront issue, a beachlot has to have 200 feet of frontage in order
to be considered a beach10t. And then once it has 200 feet, you can put 3 boats on that beachlot. Then
every additional 200 feet you can put 3 more boats.
Audience: 3 boats but not 3 docks, is that correct?
Bob Boyer: 3 boats, yeah. Right.
Audience: .. .just west of that channel is not 200 feet.
Bob Boyer: Over here you mean?
Audience: Yes.
Bob Boyer: That's basically 667 feet
Audience: For Lot 4. So none of them are 200...
Bob Boyer: Right Each of them could have their own dock.
Blackowiak: Okay, excuse me. We're getting into like another issue. Sharmin, do you want to clarify
that again.
Al-Jaff: Individual lots, riparian lots have to have a minimum of 90 foot frontage. Beachlot
Blackowiak: In order to get a dock for that property, 90 feet. Correct.
AI-Jaff: And to meet riparian lot standards today.
Blackowiak: Yes.
Al-Jaff: Beachlots have to have a minimum of 200 foot lake frontage.
Blackowiak: And for each 200 feet, if they had 200 feet they can have.
AI-Jaff: One dock with 3 watercraft
Blackowiak: One dock with 3 watercrafts.
Al-Jaff: Or boat slips.
Blackowiak: Okay, thank you. Okay, with that I'm going to close the public hearing. Comments. Rich,
would you like to.

Planning Commission Meeting - April 16, 2002
Slagle: I can start.
Planning Commission Meeting - April 16, 2002
about homeowners associations and what I would like to see the commission do is attach more conditions
to the conditional use permit so that really what we have before us tonight in the conditiOflal use permit is
part of what the ·homeowners would receive when they purchase their property in this area. I guess one
other thought here, and I'll probably think of some other things along the way is that the staff might
contact Shorewood to understand how or to what level they might approve this application. So at least
for now those are my comments.
Blackowiak: Thanks, Bruce.
Feik: Generally I agree with much of what Vii in particular said tonight. As it relates to the soils though,
it's my understanding that the building developer, once something is platted has the responsibility to
make sure that the soils underneath a particular are sound, which means he can rip out as much as he
needs to and bring in corrected soils. Do compactions. Do whatever. So whether or not a lot is
buildable is really none of this body's concems. It's really the concem of when they pull the permit and
when they go through.. .of that and to make sure that that is indeed a buildable lot. As long as they are
not, and correct me if I'm wrong. I'm framing this as a statement but it's really a question. If they find
for example that Lot 4, Block 2 is suspect, so long as they are not impacting the wetlands and other areas
which are out of bounds with the various reserve areas, preserve areas, wetland mitigation or whatever,
they can excavate to the depth necessary.
Al-Jaff: That's correct. To correct the soils.
Feik: And bringing in corrected soils from another project which they may have additional soils left over
from. And that's normal course of building a house, is it not?
AI-Jaff: Yes it is.
Feik: So that being said, I guess I don't have any concern with the soils. My real concern is with the
outlot. We've had a lot of discussion the last few months about outlots, and I guess my questions are the
long term definition as posed by one of the neighbors across the lake regarding who is going to own that
outlot?
Al-J aff: The homeowners association.
Feik: It will be deeded in common to the homeowners association?
AI-Jaff: Correct.
Feik: And the homeowners association will pay applicable taxes on that outlot?
Al-Jaff: That's correct.
Slagle: Can I throw one thing in here about associations?
Feik: Please.
Slagle: I believe that we would at least have the right to ask the applicant that they participate as a
. .--
Planning Comrrússion Meeting - April 16, 2002
years. So one thing that we might be able to do, just to ensure because of the sensitivity of the natural
resources, is to say hey. We want something in escrow over x number of years, 2 years, 3 years, so what
happened further down the lake doesn't happen again. And I' II leave that up to staff to work with but I
think it's a protection that maybe some of the citizens would feel comfortable with.
Feik: Well that dove tails back to something else... At what point will you see the asòociation
documents?
Al-J aff: It would be part of the recording of the plat.
Feik: Of the plat?
AI-Jaff: And the conditional use, and it all goes together as one package.
Feik: Right. So I guess my concern is making sure that those association docs do encompass the
concerns that have been expressed and give the property owners within that association the rights and
privileges they deserve as well as guidance regarding what their limitations are. Other than that I think
the applicant has obviously been working with this parcel a good number of years, and I generally
support it.
Blackowiak: Okay, thank you. Craig, comments.
Claybaugh: Yeah, I had some wnU11ents here. I guess the first comment I'd like to make is that the plan
does seem well thought through, well conceived. Granted not everyone's going to agree with some of the
premises that are set forth but overall in general terms I'm impressed with the thought that's gone behind
it. I like the idea of distributing the lake benefits. However, I do assign a fair amount of weight to the
uses versus storage of watercrafts, which translates into the number of slips. Some of the concems that
are brought up here this evening are broad in nature and are outside of the limited jurisdiction of the
Planning Commission. It's not that we're empathetic to it or don't hear it but it doesn't translate in us
having jurisdiction over some of those concerns. The lot size. The lot sizes are encouraging. I do have
concerns, I agree with Comrrússioner Feik with respect to the soil corrections. That that is an issue to be
addressed during, at the point of pulling permit for it. However I do take that into consideration when I
look at that in conjunction with wetland mitigation to access it and assign a certain degree of weight into
the degree of effort that's being set forth to make that a buildable lot. I don't know if it's appropriate at
this point in time to question the developer's math in terms of calculating the number of slips that are
there, or if that's something that we are just saddled with to vote one way or the other this evening.
AI-Jaff: The ordinance is very clear. It says for every 200 feet you have up to 3.
Claybaugh: I understand.
Blackowiak: So you can't take an increment of 200 feet and get I?
AI-Jaff: No.
Blackowiak: Okay. So then it sounds like we're at 9.
Claybaugh: Okay, but coming back to the alternative that Lots 7, 8, or 5 through 8 and Lot 4 would have
to apply for wetland alteration permits or, as part of the shoreland management act, 10 foot egress out to
34
Planning Commission Meeting - April 16,2002
access that, that they would have the 3 boats. That's coming back to the argument that some of the
neighbors made versus usage versus storage of the watercraft. And I think there is some validity and
some weight that needs to be assigned to that. So is there any room for negotiation with respect to that to
the developer or is that just flat out what we. .
Haak: That's actually both a state and a city requirement so that is prescribed in the DNR's rules. And it
clearly states that any areas such as this can have up to 3 docks, each containing up to 3 watercraft. So
we're held fairly close to the letter of the law on this one. I don't see that we have a whole lot of options.
Claybaugh: Okay. Alright, that's the extent of the questions I have. Thank you.
Blackowiak: Okay. Any comments?
Lillehaug: Yes I do. First I'd say I'd like to, I'll be limiting my comments. I'd like to abstain from
voting on this due to my short time on the commission here, but I do have one comment here. I do agree
with Commissioner Claybaugh on the usage versus storage of the slips. It can be very subjective and
we'll get many different opinions from many different people, and that will be subjective. But I'd like to
comment on the right-of-way south of Lot I and Lot 2 of Block 2. To the south of the cul-de-sac, the
throat of the cul-de-sac there. There is that parcel of land that will be dedicated as public right-of-way, is
that correct?
AI-Jaff: Yes.
Lillehaug: So the maintenance of that parcel would be by the adjacent property owners? I gues~ that'd
be more of a statement that if that is dedicated as public right-of-way, that that will be required to be
maintained by the parcel owner to the south of that right-of-way, correct?
AI-Jaff: Typically that's what happens with right-of-way, yes.
Lillehaug: And then another comment I have is on the 60 foot radius of the right-of-way for that same
cul-de-sac, that does need to be shifted to the north to maintain that 60 foot right-of-way on the south
property line.
AI-Jaff: That's correct.
Lillehaug: So will that still maintain a buildable lot size for Lot 2?
AI-Jaff: That will be the responsibility of the developer.
Lillehaug: Okay, and that would end my comments, thank you.
Blackowiak: Okay. Thank you very much. I have a few comments. Let's start out with the beach10ts.
It's a huge issue. It's something I didn't even think about before I came tonight. Who owns the outlots?
It's an interesting question. Ownership is huge. Taxation, that's another issue. It's I guess not the
Planning Commission's area to look at taxation but I'm sure the council will have a discussion about that
when it comes to them as to whether beachlots versus actual direct access onto the lake makes more
sense for the city standpoint. One thing that I would like to ask I guess Sharmin, is there any way to
assign a share of ownership in a beachlot to properties? In other words, let's say each lot owns 1/11
share of that beachlot. That outlot, as opposed to.
35
Planning Commission Meeting - April 16, 2002
AI-Jaff: I can find out.
Blackowiak: Okay. It's just something that as the discussion was going on tonight, you know you don't
want a beachlot sold. You don't want something happening or the status changing when a person buys
into an area being told that they're going to have a beachlot, so I think that, and I guess I don't know if it
could happen or not but if each lot had a certain, an equal share, I think it would be difficult to change
ownership so that's just a comment. I was, it just kind of came to me this evening. Could be way out
there, who knows. Second, homeowner associations, enforcement is none by the city basically. The city,
unless there's some kind of a violation, the city will get involved. Otherwise it's the homeowners
responsibility so just so everybody understands that and they need to govern themselves. I think the
general enforcement issues are a problem with homeowner associations and just a lot of things in general
you see around town and you kind of go gee, we need to enforce this and it doesn't happen. And it might
not be a huge issue but for people who live by and are directly affected by those issues, it is huge. So
that's something I do always have a concern about when you talk about associations. Variances.
Generally I support all 3. They make sense to me. The 50 foot right-of-way. The street grade, and even
the 50 by 80 house pad makes sense and I think that I would support all those. Some of the concerns of
the neighbors. Screening and trees. I think those are very important. Specifically the lot directly to the
east which I've got notes here, I believe was Mr. Christian. I think the developer really needs to work
with the neighbors and specifically those on the east and kind of the southeast, to make sure that there's
some screening done. The driveway issues, the overhead power lines, those issues need to be resolved
before this goes to council I would hope. That they could sit down and talk about it. Tree calculations
near Pond 3. I think it was brought up that there's going to be some additional removal there that wasn't
really reflected in the plan so I hope that before this item goes to council that those are re..visited and we
get accurate numbers. Yeah, especially near that pond number 3. The second issue I would have would
be tree removal on Lots 5 through 8. The developer was talking about them being boxelders and
cottonwoods down there. Granted they might not be the prettiest but they are there right now and if he's
talking about removing them, then we need to make sure that the calculations reflect that potential. And
you know you say you always look for worst case scenario, well let's say worst case scenario they're
taken out of there and let's make sure the calculations do in fact reflect that. My major, I guess I don't
know if I tipped it off, my major problem is with the beachlot. I don't know if that's the way to go for
this or not. That being said, somebody else gets to make a motion so we'll just leave it with that.
Feik: Well I'd be happy to make the motion.
Blackowiak: Go right ahead. Or several motions I should say.
Feik: I'll begin with the first one. I would move that the Planning Commission approve, that the
approval of the preliminary plat for Subdivision #02-6 for Boyer Lake Minnewashta for 11 lots and one
beachlot with variances for a 50 foot right-of-way width, a 9 percent right-of-way grade, and a 50 by 80
house pad on Lot 4, Block 2 as shown on the plans received April 9, 2002, subject to the following
conditions, number I through 37. An additional item (h). 37. Lot 1,2,3,6,7,8 shall be custom graded.
Slagle: Block I?
Feik: Excuse me, thank you. Block I shall be custom graded. We might as well put in here VIi's
removal of the silt fence.
Sacchet: Thank you. I wasn't going to do it today.
36
Planning Comnñssion Meeting - April 16, 2002
Feik: Oh, I've got it in here a couple times for you. And I would be willing to accept any additional
changes or discuss any additional changes.
Sacchet: First I second it and then I would like to add some friendly amendments, or at least try. I would
like to put something in about those specific neighbor's concerns. I would like to suggest a condition 38
that Lot 1, Block 2 maintains some of that evergreen buffer towards the east property line.
Sidney: How about work with staff to establish a.
Sacchet: Work with staff to establish, okay.
Sidney: The appropriate buffer.
Sacchet: That's fine. Work with staff to establish a buffer on the east property line. And then I would
like to add another one, I guess that would be 39. And we could use the same wording. The applicant
work with staff to resolve the driveway issue to the Olsen property. And now I oùght be stretching it.
There's one more that I'd like to add. Should we accept them one at a time?
Blackowiak: Do you accept those 2 so far?
Feik: I would like to discuss number I if we could please.
Sacchet: Let's do that.
Feik: Only to the extent that it would be...phraseology. I would preferto say either making or replace or
install regarding, not. I don't want to.
Sacchet: It sounds to me that's what there has to stay but there is.
Feik: No, we're fine. You're fine.
Sacchet: Okay. Okay. The intent is that there's something done to work with the neighbors to make this
a happy solution for everybody as much as possible.
Feik: Good so far.
Sacchet: Alright. Now the last one, and maybe that shouldn't be a condition. Maybe that should be a
comment to staff. I'd like to see staff researching the issue of the ownership of the beachlot before it gets
to council to be possibly, knowing what the possibilities are in that context. Actually that's not a
condition. That would be just a direction.
Blackowiak: A direction for staff, okay.
Sacchet: Okay.
Blackowiak: Okay. Been a motion and a second.
Sidney: One more friendly amendment?
37
Planning Comnússion Meeting - April 16, 2002
Blackowiak: Oh, go ahead.
Sidney: Okay. I guess I would like to see as a condition 40.
Sacchet: We're up to 40, yep.
Sidney: Okay. That the applicant shall work with staff to determine the trail materials.
Feik: Appropriate trail materials.
Sidney: Right, before City Council.
Blackowiak: Okay, is that accepted? Okay. Okay, anybody else? Okay.
Feik moved, Sacchet seconded that the Planning Commission recommend approval of the
preliminary plat for Subdivision #02-6 for Boyer Lake Minnewashta for 11 lots and one beachlot
with variances for a SO foot right-of-way width, a 9 percent right-of-way grade, and a SO by 80
house pad on Lot 4, Block 2 as shown on the plans received April 9, 2002, subject to the following
conditions:

portion located west of Lot 4, Block 2, and east of the channel.
4. In lieu of land dedication and/or trail construction, full park and trail dedication fees should be
paid. These fees are to be paid at the rate in force upon final platting and/or building permit
application. The current rate is $1,500 per single family dwelling for parks and $500 per single
family dwelling for trails. One-third of all park and trail fees applicable to the entire plat are due
at the time of final platting. The remaining two-thirds are paid independently at the time of each
building permit application.
5. The easterly lot line of Lot 1, Block 2 shall be extended to the north eliminating the finger
extending to the east. The remnant parcel shall be deeded to the property to the east.

Planning Commission Meeting - April 16, 2002
15. The last catch basin prior to discharge into each pond shall be a sump catch basin.
16. The applicant shall examine the slopes near the southwest corner of Lot 8, Block 1 and determine
whether or not they meet the City's criteria for a bluff (rise of 25 feet above the toe and a slope
averaging 30% or greater). If the slopes meet the bluff criteria, all structures shall maintain a 30
foot setback from the top, toe and sides of the bluff.
17. Easement types and locations shall be called out on the preliminary plat.
18. An encroachment agreement for the trail on Lot 3, Block 2 shall be obtained prior to trail
construction.
19. Erosion control blanket shall be installed on all slopes greater than or equal to 3:1.
20. Based on the proposed developed area of approximately 10.65 acres, the water quality fees
associated with this project are $8,520; the water quantity fees are approximately $ 21,087. The
applicant will be credited for water quality where NURP basins are provided to treat runoff from
the site and adjacent areas. The current proposal appears to provide water quality treatment for
runoff from 4.1 acres on-site and 39.0 acres off-site. (These figures will be finalized upon final
review of the storm water calculations.) In addition, two outlet structures are proposed.
Preliminary calculations show a credit of $39,480 against total fees of $29,609. At this time, the
estimated total SWMP credit due to the applicant for the provision of ponding for off-site areas
in accordance with the SWMP is $9,871.
21. The applicant must apply for and obtain permits frem the appropriate regulatory agencies (e.g.
Minnesota Pollution Control Agency, Minnesota Department of Natural Resources) and comply
with their conditions of approval.
22. Approval of this application is contingent upon the City of Shorewood reviewing and approving
this application.
23. The existing driveway access off of Highway 7 shall be abandoned.
24. Lot 3, Block 2 shall be platted as an outlot.
25. The pond is required to be designed to National Urban Runoff Program (NURP) standards.
26. Prior to final plat approval, a professional civil engineer registered in the State of Minnesota
must sign all plans.
27. Prior to final platting, storm sewer design data will need to be submitted for staff review. The
storm water will have to be designed for a 10-year, 24-hour storm event. All of the ponds are
required to be designed to National Urban Runoff Programs (NURP) standards. Drainage and
utility easements will need to be dedicated on the final plat over the public storm drainage system
including ponds, drainage swales, and wetlands up to the 100-year flood level. The minimum
utility easement width shall be 20 feet wide.
28. Staff recommends that Type II silt fence be used around the grading perimeter of the site and that
Type III silt fence be used adjacent to all ponds and wetlands. The silt fence shall be removed

Planning Commission Meeting - April 16,2002
at the completion of construction. A 75 foot nùnimum rock construction entrance must be
added to the entrance that will be accessed during construction. The applicant should be aware
that any off-site grading would require an easement from the appropriate property owner. All
disturbed areas must be sodded or seeded and mulched within two weeks of grading completion.
29. Installation of the private utilities for the site will require pernùts and inspections through the
City's Building Department.
30. Public utility improvements will be required to be constructed in accordance with the City's
latest editions of Standard Specifications and Detail Plates. Detailed construction plans and
specifications will be required at the time of final platting. The applicant will also be required to
enter into a development contract with the City and supply the necessary financial security in the
form of a letter of credit or cash escrow to guarantee installation of the improvements and the
conditions of final plat approval. Pernùts from the appropriate regulatory agencies must be
obtained, including but not linùted to the MPCA, Department of Health, Watershed District,
Carver County, etc.
3 L Add all applicable 2002 City of Chanhassen Detail Plates to the plans.
32. The proposed development will be required to meet the existing stormwater runoff rates for the
10 and 100 year, 24 hour storm events.
33. Revise the plans to show the following for all of the public streets: a 28 foot back-to-back
pavement width, a 50 foot right-of-way and a 45.5 foot pavement radius for the cul-de-sac with a
60 foot right-of-way radius. Also, the applicant must provide a uniform transition from the
existing 22 foot wide pavement of Dartmouth Drive to a new 28 foot street section.
34. Abandon the existing utility lines on the east side of the site, west of the proposed manhole
connection. Also, the existing house services shall be connected to the new utility lines.
35. According to the City's Finance Department records, the underlying parcels on the east and west
sides were previously assessed for sanitary sewer and water. However, the underlying parcel in
the center of the site was not assessed for utilities. As such, the proposed homesite on Lot 4,
Block 2 will be required to pay a sanitary sewer connection charge. The current 2002 lateral
connection charge for sanitary sewer is $4,335 per lot. Since the developer will be extending the
lateral sewer and watermains to the remaining lots, the sanitary sewer and water connection
charges will be waived. Sanitary sewer and water hookup charges will still be applicable for
each of the new lots. The 2002 trunk hookup charge is $1,383 for sanitary sewer and $1,802 for
watermain.
36. On the utility plan:
a. Add storm sewer schedule.
b. Show the proposed utilities sewer length and slope, and review type and class of sewer.
c. Revise sanitary service size from 4 inches to 6 inches.
d. Relocate the fire hydrant between Lots 4 and 5, Block 1.
e. Move trail out of watermain easement right-of-way at the north side.

All voted in favor, except Slagle and Blackowiak who opposed. Lillehaug abstained. The motion
carried with a vote of 5-2-1.
Blackowiak: Okay Rich, your reason. Nothing to add?
Slagle: Simple very, very delicate piece of property and I mean my one year on this conunission, this is
probably the most delicate area that I've looked at from a natural resource standpoint and I guess I'mjust
wondering about the outlot and wondering if it's more applicable to have the 4 homes, or actually 5 lots
have their own docks and that would be something that comes in.
Blackowiak: Yep, and that's the reason for my no vote too. I'd like the council just to take a look at it.
They've got to decide what's best for this piece of property. Okay, so we'll need the next amendment
please. Or the next motion please for the wetland alteration permit.
Feik: I'd move the Planning Conunission recommends.
Blackowiak: It'd be on that page 29.
Feik: Oh excuse me, I was going to skip that one. I move the Planning Conunission recommends
approval of the Wetland Alteration Permit 02-3 for Boyer Lake Minnewashta as shown on the plans
dated received April 9, 2002 and subject to the following conditions, 1 through 7 with the adjustment on
number 5 to remove the silt fence upon completion of the project.
Blackowiak: Okay. Been a motion, is there a second?
43
Planning Commission Meeting - April 16, 2002
Sidney: Second.
Blackowiak: Moved and seconded. Any discussion?
Feik moved, Sidney seconded that the Planning Commission recommends approval of the Wetland
Alteration Permit #02-3 for Boyer Lake Minnewashta as shown on the plans dated received April
9, 2002 and subject to the following conditions:

adjacent to wetland areas or areas to be preserved as buffer. If no buffer is to be preserved, Type
III silt fence shall be provided at the delineated wetland edge. All silt fence shall be removed
upon completion of construction.
6. Any disturbed wetland areas shall be reseeded with MnDot seed mix 25 A or a similar seed mix
that is approved for wetland soil conditions.
7. The applicant shall apply for and obtain permits from the appropriate regulatory agencies (e.g.

Planning Commission Meeting - April 16, 2002
Peik: I make a motion that the Planning Commission recommends approval of Conditional Use Permit
#02-2 for Boyer Lake Minnewashta as shown on the plans dated received April 9, 2002 and subject to the
following conditions 1 through 11. However on number 9, where we talk about cross easements and the
homeowners association for Lots 4 and 5, I guess I'm not, don't know how we should do this but I would
like to make it very clear that the staff should be comfortable with the language as presented in the
homeowners association prior to going to final approval with the council.
Blackowiak: Okay there's been a motion, is there a second?
Sidney: A second with a friendly amendment or two.
Peik: Okay.
Sidney: I guess I'd suggest a condition 12 that the applicant shall include a copy of the conditional use
permit in the homeowners covenants. Then also a modification to condition 6. I guess I would like to
see this, well the beachlot should not be used as a boat launch and posted as such, and I guess I'm leaning
towards more posting of things that will be part of what will be enforced in terms of city code on this
beachloL
Peik: Would you want to limit that to traiIered boats to be specific? Does that make a difference?
Blackowiak: Minutia.
Feik: It doesn't matter to me. That's your.
Sidney: Work with staff for the appropriate language. But posted as such for whatever craft shall not be
launched.
Haak: We'll take a look at the code.
Blackowiak: Okay.
Feik: Accepted.
Feik moved, Sidney seconded that the Planning Commission recommends approval of Conditional
Use Permit #02-2 for Boyer Lake Minnewashta as shown on the plans dated received April 9, 2002,
and subject to the following conditions:
I. The beachlot shall contain no more than 3 docks with no more than 9 spaces for ovemight
watercraft storage. The plat shall be revised to show 9 spaces, the maximum allowed on a single
beachlot by city ordinance.
2, The beachlot shall meet all requirements set forth for recreational beachlots in Section 20-263 of
the City Code.
3. A conservation easement shall be placed over the portion of the beachlot that includes Basin 2.
4. The applicant shall specify the materials used for trail construction.
45

All voted in favor, except Slagle and Blackowiak who opposed, Lillehaug abstained, and the motion
carried with a vote of 5-2-1.
Blackowiak: Alrighty. This, I'm sorry. Okay, I'm sorry. This item will go to City Council on May 13th
so anyone wishing to follow that to City Council, please do so and thank you all for your comments this
evening. And there's been a request that we take a brief recess right now, so we'll take a 5 minute recess.
We'll reconvene at 9:40.
(The Planning Comnússion took a short recess at this point in the meeting.)
Blackowiak: Before we go to new business, UIi asked if he could make a brief comment so go ahead.
Sacchet: Yeah, I just wanted to make a comment for the record that I was really impressed, and I want to
commend staff for how much work that obviously went into that report for that proposal we just worked
on. I want this to be on the record. I think you guys did an incredible job negotiating, balancing it and
it's a very sensitive place and I think you did an excellent job.
Blackowiak: Okay.
Claybaugh: I second it.
AI-Jaff: Thank you. It was a joint effort.
