ITEM II - CHARLES LACKEY - VARIANCE
Kathy Farquharson, 6467 Kingfisher Lane, Eden Prairie, stated she
is representing the applicants who have purchased the subject
site to construct a single family home. Due to the size of the
lot and the existing garage which is to be incorporated into the
construction plans, several variances are requested. The cabin
located on the property will be removed.
Deb Garross, Assistant City Planner, presented the information as
per memo of March 18, 1993. The variances requested are as
follows: a 2.5 foot east side yard variance from 10 foot setback
requirement, 37 foot lakeshore variance from 75 foot setback
requirement, 108 lot coverage ratio variance from 228

requirement, and a 13.53 impervious surface variance from 303
requirement for Lot 28 and the east 10 feet of Lot 27, Fairlawn
Shores. The previous owner had constructed a three car garage in
anticipation of building a home. The existing cabin is located
within the floodplain and contains a deck that encroaches over
the 904 contour line. Demolition of the cabin would bring the
site into compliance with City Code. The subject site contains
several development constraints due to its width, area, and
topography, thereby causing a hardship to the applicant. There
is a 7.5 foot utility easement on the west side of the property.
Staff's recommendation is to approve the variances based on the
hardship criteria of the subject site is a substandard lot of
record subdivided and developed prior to annexation into Prior
Lake City limits, the proposed construction is located at a
lakeshore setback similar to other homes within the neighborhood,
a non - conforming structure located within the floodplain of Prior
Lake will be removed and replaced with a conforming structure,
the application of current zoning standards results in a severely
limited building envelope, and the proposed development is
consistent with the spirit and intent of the Zoning Ordinance and
will not be detrimental to the health and welfare of the
neighborhood.
A telephone message from Bill Willinger, 5650 Fairlawn Shores
Trail SE, Prior Lake, stating he objected to the 2.5 foot east
side variance.
Cindy Dobel, 5604 - 150th Street, objected to the house being
built as it would impair their view of the lake. They thought
that the lot would not be developed. Ms. Dobel asked for
clarification on the height of the house, thought City Code was
35 feet.
Jan Broucher, 14975 Storm Circle, was not objecting to the
improvement but felt the house was too big.
Bill Bymark, 5620 - 150th Street, voiced his objection to the
height of the house as it would block his view of the lake.
Bob Banitt, Contractor for the applicant, explained the
construction design of the proposed home showing it was the best
design available for the site. The roof height would be 28 feet
which is an increase of 10 feet from the existing garage.
However, there would be a peak roof which will allow some view of
the lake from neighboring properties.
Comments from the Commissioners were on; the three car garage
dimensions, reduction of driveway to reduce the coverage ratio,
demolition of cabin resulting in removal of structure from
floodplain, distance to adjacent neighborhood on the east is 48
feet, sideyard request is minimal, plan of house is a reasonable
design, improvement of lakeshore, and consensus was in support of
the application.

THE LAKESHORE SETBACK TO 38 FEET, APPLICATION OF THE CURRENT
ZONING STANDARDS WOULD JEOPARDIZE THE BUILDABILITY OF THE LOT
WITHOUT VARIANCES, AND THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT IS CONSISTENT

BE DETRIMENTAL TO THE HEALTH AND WELFARE OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
COMMISSIONER GREENFIELD OFFERED A FRIENDLY AMENDMENT TO /4, TO
CHANGE THE PERCENTAGE TO 118 WHICH EQUATES TO HAVING 200 SQUARE

THIS AMENDMENT WAS AGREEABLE TO COMMISSIONERS LOFTUS AND ARNOLD.
Vote taken signified ayes by Loftus, Arnold, Greenfield, Roseth,
and Wuellner. MOTION CARRIED.
A recess was called at 8:20 P.M. The meeting reconvened at 8:25

ITEM II - PHIL CARLSON - REVIEW OF INDUSTRIAL PARK STANDARDS
Kay Kuhlmann, Assistant City Manager, introduced Phil Carlson,
consultant from Dahlgren, Shardlow and Uban, who has been
retained by the City to formalize the industrial park standards
for Prior Lake.
Mr. Carlson presented a slide presentation showing scenes through
history dipicting why it is important to have zoning codes and
regulations for health and safety issues. Cities are not "born"
with these regulations, but need to be implemented into place
with laws for the good of all.
Deb Garross gave an outline of the Commissioners Retreat on March
20, 1993 at Canterbury Inn. An agenda was distributed to the
Commissioners.
Commissioner Greenfield conducted the discussion on conclusions
drawn from the realtors meeting of January 7 1993, and read his
recommendations to the Commissioners. Commissioner Greenfield
stated that Superintendent of Schools, Les Sonnabend, would like
to be invited to future meetings. It was decided to continue

DENNIS SCHWIETERS
14424 WATERSEDGE TRAIL
DEB GARROSS, ASSISTANT CITY PLANNER
YES X NO
APRIL 1, 1993
HISTORY /BACKGROUND
TFePlanna.ng Department received a variance application from
Dennis Schwieters of 14424 Watersedge Trail. The applicant
proposes to remove a non - conforming structure and rebuild a new
single family home as per attached survey. The following
variances are requested in order to construct the home as
proposed:
1. 4.7' NE side yard variance from 10' setback requirement.
2. 3.5' BE front yard variance from 25' setback requirement.
3. 37' lakeshore variance from 75' setback requirement.
4. 83 lot coverage variance from the 223 lot coverage
requirement.
5. 103 impervious surface variance from the 303 impervious
surface requirement.
PREVIOUS PROPOSALS:
There are no prey ous proposals on file for the subject site.
PHYSIOGRAPHY•
TFe__T_oF=s relatively flat and the existing cabin is located
within the floodplain of Prior Lake. The low floor elevation is
907.29.
ADJACENT USES:
The adjacent properties are developed with single family homes.
This neighborhood was subdivided in 1950 and in 1974, annexed to
the City of Prior lake from the City of Savage.
EXISTING CONDITIONS:
The survey an icates the location of each adjacent home. The
subject site contains 6,686 squari feet above the 904 elevation.
The existing cabin is located aprroximately 26' from the 904
contour, a similar setba , 7k as the adjacent home to the west.
Likewise, the proposed garage will be located at a similar
4629 Dakota St. SE, Prior lake, Minnesota 55372 / Ph (612) 44711230 / Fax(612)4474245

setback as the two garages on either side of the subject site.
Please also note that the home to the west has a 5.1' side yard
setback. The garage corner of the home to the northeast, is
located approximately 20' from the front property line.
PRECEDENCE:
SE searched and found that eighteen variance files exist for
lots located within the Boudin's Manor Subdivision. The attached
map indicates the lots which have received variances. For sixteen
of the lots, one variance was granted; four lots were granted two
types of variances, one lot received three variances and two lots
received four variances. The variances received were one or a
combination of lake, side, and front yard variances. Thirteen of
the eighteen variances were granted prior to the 1987 adoption of
the Shoreland Ordinance therefore, lot area and impervious
surface coverage were not considered. Staff is of the opinion
that the majority of the eighteen cases would require impervious
surface, coverage and lot area variances if the applications were
to be considered today. In addition to the variances granted, a
majority of the existing homes are located at various setbacks,
most of which are not compliant with current Prior Lake zoning
standards.
NEIGHBORHOOD ISSUES IMPACT CONCERNS
T is s a we establisFied ne gh orhood with various structures
located within the Prior Lake floodplain and situated at various
setbacks from all property lines and the 904 contour of Prior
Lake. This neighborhood has been in transition for many years
and has a number of structures that have been renovated or
removed and rebuilt. There are only a handful of vacant lots
within the subdivision.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Approve the application as submitted. The applicant proposes
to remove an existing cabin located 26' from the 904 and
increase the setback to 38 The platform proposed does not
require a lakeshore setback. The applicant proposes to
remove an existing driveway which will reduce the total
impervious surface from 463 to 403. A structure currently
located within the floodplain will be removed and replaced
with a structure conforming to the Prior Lake Floodplain
Ordinance. The proposed front yard setback of 21.5 is
similar to the existing setback of the adjacent home to the
northeast, which has an approximate setback of 20 One 4.7
side yard variance has been requested which is a similar
setback as the existing home to the southwest. The lot
coverage and impervious surface are consistent with the
intent of the Code in that if this particular structure were
built upon a conforming 10,000 square foot lot, the lot
coverage would be 203 and impervious surface coverage 263.
2. Table or continue the variance for specific reasons.
Deny the application based upon findings and facts relative
to the hardship criteria of the Zoning ordinance,
inconsistency with precedent or other purposes related to the
Zoning Code.
HARDSHIP FINDINGS
1. Literal enforcement of the Ordinance would result in undue
hardship with respect to the property.
The application of current zoning standards would render the
lot virtually non - buildable. The building envelope would
consist of approximately 20' x 35' with a total coverage
ratio of 1,337 square feet and impervious surface of 2,005
square feet. This building envelope would allow a two car
garage (20 x 24 = 480 sq. ft.) with 857 square feet remaining
for the home. Staff is of the opinion that the resulting
building envelope is restrictive to the point of rendering
the property unbuildable without variance consideration.
2. Such unnecessary hardship results because of circumstances
unique to the property.
Rationale for granting the variances is that similar setbacks
are prevalent on the adjacent structures and that strict
application of current zoning standards would place undue
burden on this particular property, with respect to the
existing development within the neighborhood.
3. The hardship is caused by provisions of the Ordinance and is
not the result of actions of persons presently having an
interest in the property.
The lot is a substandard lot of record, subdivided and
developed prior to annexation to the City of Prior Lake. The
hardship is not the result of the applicant nor City of Prior
Lake but the result of former platting and zoning standards
of a previous government.
4. The variance observes the spirit and intent of this
Ordinance, produces substantial justice and is not contrary
to the public interest.
The proposed structure observes the spirit and intent of the
Ordinance in that if it were built upon a standard lot size
for which the setback restrictions were intended, the
structure could conform to all applicable standards.
Substantial justice would be realized by allowing the
applicant to build a comparable home to those in the
neighborhood and immediate adjacent properties. The variances
are not contrary to the public interest in that the structure
will be further removed from the lake than the existing
structure, a structure in the floodplain will be removed and
a garage will be provided for storage and parking of vehicles
which was not present under existing development of the lot.

VARIANCE APPLICATION
LITTLE SIX, INC., 24ru
DEB GARROSS, ASSIST'.NT
YES X NO
APRIL 1, 1993
MYSTIC LAKE BLVD.
CITY PLANNER
HISTORY /BACKGROUND
The Planning Department has received a variance application from
Little Six, Inc., to construct a 1,896 car parking lot in the
A -1 Agricultural and C -1 Conservation Zoning District. Parking
lots are neither a permitted or conditional use in the A -1 or C -1
District. The Planning Commission in accordance with Section 7.6
of the Zoning Ordinance has the authority to grant a variance
from the requirements of the Ordinance. This application is
similar to the 1991 variance granted for a 304 car temporary
parking lot located west of the Bingo Palace,
The Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Community recently purchased
approximately 180 acres of land (Menden Farm) located south and
west of Mystic Lake Casino. The Community is in the process of
building a casino expansion to the Mystic Lake facility. The,
proposed parking lot will serve the new expansion.
PROPOSAL:
Damon ef — Gunther of William R. Engelhardt Associates, Inc., has
projected the parking need and developed a plan that would create
a 16.60 acre parking lot. The proposed lot (see attached survey
reduction) will accommodate 1,896 (9 x 18 parking stalls and 30
(8 x 18' with 5' access aisle) handicap accessible space. The
plan has been prepared using the newly adopted Prior Lake
Landscape Ordinance as a guide. Greg Kopischke is in the process
of reviewing the landscape plan and his comments will be
forwarded to the Commission on April 1, 1993. The proposed
parking lot will be graded and paved according to the
s ecifications found on the parking plan. Citp Engineer, Larry
Anderson is in the process of reviewing the parking lot plans t
this time.
EXISTING CONDITIONS:
The conditions an circumstances that exist relative to this
application are unique. The SMSC is a growing sovereign entity
that needs additional land to accommodate its current growth.
The logical course of action is to acquire adjacent, vacant land
and develop it in accordance to need and projected demand.

AN EQUAL GR UMN EP410 a
However the annexation process as set forth for Reservations has
not been completed, which leaves Prior Lake in control over land
use matters until the acquired lands are granted "Trust" status.
once the annexation is completed, the land will be held in Trust
for the SMSC and their own land use regulations will be in
effect. This process is expected to take four to eight months.
The 180 acres recentl purchased by the MSC was farmed as
recently as 1992. ?ro�ected land uses other than the parking lot
are unknown. Land use relationship, compatibility and traffic
generation are not issues since the only affected uses are on the
SMSC lands for which this parking lot is being constructed.
OPPORTUNITIES:
Prao -- r La�ias the opportunity to use its zoning power to grant
an interim solution to the land use regulation problem. The SMSC
desires to begin construction of the parking lot facility prior
to the land being placed in Trust. The City, via its variance
process can assist the Community in their expansion plans by
approving the application at this time.
City staff has worked with the consultant engineer to consider
construction issues such as grading, drainage, erosion control,
storm water management and landscaping. The grading permit for
this proposal is currently being reviewed by the City Engineer.
SUN QARY /RECOMMENDATION :
T s app ca on and design is for construction of a parking lot
to accommodate the new Casino expansion.
The recommendation from staff is to approve the variance to
locate a arking lot on the subject site subject to conditions
p
that plans a acceptable to the City Engineer. This application is
similar to a previous variance granted in 1991, therefore there
is precedent for positive consideration of the application. The
circumstance is unique in that the land is owned by the SMSC and
will be placed into Trust within months. once in Trust, the
zoning authority of the City of Prior Lake is no longer valid for
the site. The variance would allow the SMSC to construct needed
parking facilities to coincide with construction of the Casino
expansion. The variance would not be detrimental to the health
and welfare of the general community.

CC: Councilmembers and Planning Commission
RE: 2010 Comprehensive Plan - Citizen Review Process
At their March 15 meeting the City Council discussed the request
by the Planning Commission to hire a consultant to provide
assistance in examining the land use element of the proposed 2010
Comprehensive Plan. The assumption was that the Comprehensive
Plan had not been received sufficient citizen input and may as a
result not reflect the current thinking of the community.
After soma discussion, the City Council reached the following
conclusions:
1. Public input on the Comprehensive Plan should include
all plan elements. While the Council recognizes that
the land use plan is likely to draw the greatest
interest, there is also an understanding that the
transportation and other elements have the potential to
be controversial.
2. The Planning Commission should be responsible for
soliciting public input through public meetings
incorporated into their regular meeting schedule.
3. A consultant should not be retained, but modest funds
could be made available for publicity and printing
associated with this effort.
4. The Planning Commission should prepare a process and
timeline in accordance with these guidelines for City
Council consideration.

PUBLIC HEARING - BUSSE FIRST ADDITION
PRELIMINARY PLAT; SUBWAY CONDITIONAL USE
AND VARIANCE
DAVANN, INC., CHANHASSEN, MINNESOTA
HORST GRASER, DIRECTOR OF PLANNING
X YES NO
FEBRUARY 1, 1993
Davann, Inc. has applied for a conditional use permit to
construct and operate a Subway fast food store on proposed Lot 1,
Block 1, of Busse First Addition. In addition the following
variances are being requested:
1). Building setback variance for the Subway store from
50 feet to 34.95 feet adjacent to STH 13.
2). Building setback variance for the Subway store from
85 feet to 74 feet adjacent to Duluth Ave.
3). A reduction in required parking spaces from 40 spaces
to 27 spaces as shown on the site plan.
The conditional use application is filed under Section 7.5 of the
Zoning Code and the variances are filed under Section 7.6 of the
Zoning Code.
CONDITIONAL USE AND VARIANCE REVIEW:
The applicant did meet with city staff on several occasions prior
to submitting the applications. The staff recommendation to the
developer was to be respectful to the existing uses in the
neighborhood by utilizing good exterior building design,
landscaping and site designs. That the improvements and
construction be at a minimum or exceed the level of existing
construction and improvements in the neighborhood.
The proposal is to construct a 1600 square foot Subway fast food
store with direct land access to Duluth Ave. The landscaping of
the store meets the proposed Landscape Ordinance currently under
consideration by the City Council. The exterior finish of the
store includes a brown brick (to match the adjacent bank),
insulated glass windows in bronze aluminum frames, two signs
(which meet code) a 6/12 pitched gable roof with asphalt
shingles and metal facia. The orientation of the store is east
and south.

aw eQU� owoRrUNM Erwiorea
The site design and accompanying variance requests demonstrate
the limited building envelope of the lot. It will be difficult
to develop a site plan for this use or any other building that
maintains the required setbacks due to the inefficiency of the
lot. The site plan includes a 1600 square foot store, 27 paved
parking spaces, a service drive through area and landscaping.
Vehicular access is from Duluth Ave. The site is not connected
to a pedestrian sidewalk or trail system. There is a striped
designated bikeway on Duluth Ave. which is currently designed as
a rural section roadway but scheduled to be upgraded in 1997 to
an urban section with sidewalks and trails.
PLAN ANALYSIS:
In general the use conforms to the district and will not
involve any element or cause any conditions which may be
dangerous injurious, or noxious to any other property or persons
in the neighborhood.
Duluth is classified a collector street with adequate capacity to
handle the expected 440 daily trips generated by Subway. The
proposed driveway access from Duluth is directly across from a
developed R -1 single family residential area. Noise, and
headlights produced by vehicles using Subway may compromise the
living environment of those residents directly across from the
driveway. An alternative location is suggested where the
driveway would align with Anna Trail. Berming and heavy
plantings should be introduced from the new driveway location to
the northern property line in an effort to be sensitive to the
residential environment. Sensitivity in lightly applications has
been suggested by the applicant. Any signage should not face
Duluth or at least be so orientated as to not be directly visible
from the residents directly across from the store.
The on -site parking plan contains 27 spaces which is 13 less than
required by the Zoning Code. The applicant has suggested that 27
spaces are adequate based on his market analysis and experience
of other stores in similar situations. The applicant further
suggests that Prior Lakes Zoning Code may be excessive and not
current with needs of todays business community. It has been
staffs experience that fast food chains have a good understanding
of their parking needs and will not open a store that is
deficient in this critical area.
The use has several other elements that may cause or will produce
depreciation in property values and /or character of the
neighborhood. Since the store will have a drive through
service an outside order board will produce objectionable noise
that my he heard from the homes directly across the street.
Although this is perhaps not a constant factor it may prove to be
irritable during certain conditions and times. It is suggested
that the order board be placed in an alternative location whereby
reducing the potential negative affect on homeowners. It is also
az t that wrappings used to contain the food find their way
onto neighboring properties. The applicant should devise a
program whereby clean up of adjacent property is done on a
regular basis. The maintenance of the grounds and structure is
vital in maintaining a visual impression of quality and respect
and should not be allowed to deteriorate..
ALTERNATIVES:
1) Find the conditional use permit and variances consistent with
the Comprehensive Plan and within the spirit and intent of
the Zoning Ordinance. Approval may be sub j ect to conditions
as deemed appropriate by the Planning Commission.
2) Continue the hearings as may be necessary or requested
however with specific direction to the applicant.
3) Deny the applications.

ITE II - SIOUX COMMUNITY- LITTLE SIX INC.
Bill Rudnicki, 1825 Walnut Lane, Egan, MN, representing Little
Six Inc. of the Shakopee Sioux Community stated they are
requesting a variance to construct a 1800 car parking lot in
conjunction with the expansion at Mystic Lake Casino.
Bill Englehardt, Chaska, Consulting Engineer for the Sioux
community, gave an overview of the proposed project. Scott County
has approved of the plans. Having the access on County Road 82

will relieve traffic on County Road 83. The parking lot will be
landscaped with tree plantings, wildflowers, and concrete islands
to define driving lanes. The Prior Lake Landscape Ordinance
requirements will be implemented in the design.
Deb Garross, Assistant City Planner, presented the information as
per memo of April 1, 1993. A variance is required to allow the
construction of a parking lot in A -1 Agricultural and C -1
Conservation Zoneing Districts. Ms. Garross advised the
Commissioners that the Sioux Community has purchased the Menden
property and it is in the process of being put into a Trust.
When this is completed, the zoning authority of the City of Prior
Lake is no longer valid for the site. This application allows
the City via its variance process to assist the Sioux Community
in their expansion plans by approving the application at this
time. City Staff has worked with the Consulting Engineer to
consider construction issues such as grading, drainage, erosion
control, storm water management and landscaping. A memo from
Bruce Loney, Assistant City Engineer, listing five (5) conditions
was read.
Horst Graser, Director of Planning, reviewed the landscape plan
for the Commissioners. The proposed plan does meet the intent of
the Ordinance. Mr. Graser suggested different varieties of trees
and plants be introduced and felt that an irrigation system
should be installed.
Air. Englehardt stated that it would not be a problem to implement
Mr. Graser's suggestions. He also stated that construction would
be scheduled to start on May 1, 1993.
Diana Rigenscheid, 15540 Woodland Circle, had comments on
definition of wetlands and landscaping species.
Comments from the Commissioners were on: completion date of the
casino expansion (August 28 was given) redefining existing
parking lot, data on trips per day, planting recommendations left
to landscape consultant, parking lot is needed, and a clear
direction of travel indicated.
Deb Garross read into the record an objection from Gary J. Olson
of 15585 Woodland Circle NW, stating the increased traffic as his
reason.

AGENDA ITEM: I
SUBJECT: PUBLIC HEARING - HIDDEN VIEW PRELIMINARY PLAT
APPLICANT: ARGUS DEVELOPMENT, INC., RAY BRANDT, EAGAN, MN
PRESENTER: JAM1., HAYES, ASSOCIATE PLANNER
PUBLIC HEARING: X Y-S NO
DATE: APRIL 15, 1993
INTRODUCTION
The purpose of the public hearing is to consider Preliminary
Plat approval to subdivide Hidden View. A motion in the form of
a recommendation to the City Council, will be required. The
motion should be supported by findings of fact and performance
criteria relevant to the application.
The attached agenda packet contains the application for
subdivision, written proposal prepared by the developer, and
supporting maps and data. The application is followed by a packet
containing memorandums from City staff and other affected
agencies received as of April 9, 1993. Finally, the public
hearing notice and map published in the Prior Lake American and
mailed to approximately 70 residents, utility companies, and
affected agencies.
SUBDIVISION REVIEW:
The preliminary p at of Hidden View is being processed as a
standard subdivision with the procedures and requirements
outlined in Section 6 -3 -2 of Subdivision Ordinance 87 -10. The
subject site consists of approximately 9 acres bounded on the
north by County Road 42, on the west by Bayview Addition, on the
east by Eustice Addition and Eggum and Callahan's First Addition,
and on the south by Shady Beach Trail. See attached subject site
area location map.
The subject site is currently being farmed with adjacent
vegetation left idle. There are several large pine trees along
the easterly property line and numerous trees on the adjacent
property to the east. Current stormwater runoff for the site
sheet drains from the northerly end to the southerly end.
The proposal as presented is for preliminary plat approval to
subdivide the property into 15 single family lots. The northerly
3 lots of this proposed subdivision will not be platted with
this project, but when they are platted, they will conform to
this preliminary plat. Services will be provided to these 3 lots
as they will be for the 15 lots to the south.
4629 Dakota St. SE., Prior Lake, Minnesota 55372 / Ph (612) 4474230 / Fax(612)4474245
AN EQUAL OPPORNMIY EW OYER
The access to the site from County Road 42 will be from Shady
Beach Trail via Conroy Street. There will be no direct access to
County Road 42 from the north end of the subject site. The
proposed Hidden View Road will connect with Bayview Circle to the
west. Bayview Circle will continue to serve as a local road and
should not see any additional traffic as a result of the
development.
The developer doeF not intend to file protective covenants but
Joe Miller Homes has an Architectural Control Committee that will
make sure that, among other things, no side by side houses will
look the same from the outside, and houses will be earth -toned
colors The adjacent houses are around 10 years old so there
should not be any compatibility problem with a radical new design
by Joe Miller Homes. The development will have a variety of
styles and price ranges as well. The homes will be frame
construction and will include rambler, split- entry, and two -story
styles. There will also be several rear - walkout designs. The
minimum house size will be 1,100 square feet of finished area
and there will probably be very few, if any, of these.
Ass essments :
See memo from Ralph Teschner dated March 15, 1993 far details.
The subject site has been previously assessed for water and
sewer improvements under Project 75 -2 in 1975. All past
applicable deferred assessment amounts have been called and
distibuted against the land The tax status of the property is
in a current state with no outstanding delinquencies. There are
no outstanding special assessments against the property. The
subdivision is subject to a Stormwater Management Fee (16.8
cents /sg. ft.) and a Collector Street Fee of ($700.00 /acre).
Total City fees required for the development of the subdivision
amount to $40,409.04 which will be collected upon entering into
a developer's agreement for the utility improvements.
Comprehensive Plan
The proposed development site is currently zoned R -1 Urban
Residential, with the S -D Shoreland District in place over
approximately 80% of the southern area of the site. This site is
an infill property in Prior Lake and development was expected in
this area in the near future. The Comprehensive Plan has
recognized the growth that will take place in this area and this
development is consistent with the long -range plan for this
neighborhood district.
Grading & Utility Plan
See memo from Bruce Loney dated April 9, 1993 for details.
Storm runoff for the proposed project drains from the northerly
end to the southerly end. The lots will have 4 inches of topsoil
and the front yards and side yards will be sodded. Erosion
control fences will be installed along the westerly, southerly,
and easterly sides of the project for the 15 lots being platted
in this project.
Approximately 8.12 acres of the total site drains to the south,
with 3.24 acres of this total draining to the east. The proposed
project will reduce this drainage area to 1.79 acres. Most of
this drainage area will be sodded or seeded and mulched so the
runoff after construction will contain less erosion sediment
and less total stormwater runoff. The remainder of the project
will go through the proposed pond either through catch basins or
overland via the drainage swale along the west line of the site.
The City Engineering staff has been working with the developer
on complete submittal requirements and has found that five
items still need to be submitted as of April 12, 1993. Please
see list of contingencies under Alternative #1. In addition to
these items, Engineering staff has two comments. First, the
street intersection with Shady Beach Trail is offset by
approximately seventy (70) feet from Orchard Circle. Orchard
Circle serves four residences and this offset intersection would
not be a traffic hazard with the minimal traffic volumes in this
area. second, the storm sewer at Bayview Circle and Shady Beach
Trail may be undersized at this location. Analysis of the system
is needed and any corective work may be added in the Developer's
agreement.
The general quality of the storm water is not excellent due to
the previous use of the site as farmland. The proposed project
will have a sediment basin to catch and allow contaminants to
settle out of the runoff. The ground will be covered with sod in
the front yards while the rear yards will be either sodded or
seeded and mulched. These measures will inhibit erosion of the
soil as well. Runoff that may include sand from the street will
still go through the sediment basin. Overall, the proposed
project will enhance the quality of the runoff that leaves the
site.
Park Dedic ation:
See memo from Bill Mangan dated March 29, 1993 for details. The
park dedication requirement for Hidden View will be in the form
of a cash dedication as opposed to a land dedication. This is a
relatively small subdivision which would result in a land
dedication of less than one acre which is not condusive to the
City's overall park system. The cash dedication is figured by
using a raw land value of $7,000.00 /acre for dry, upland, 1008
useable land. The gross value of the site amounts to $61,180
under this criteria. The 108 park dedication requirement is then
applied to the gross value which results in a park dedication
cash requirement of $6,118 which is the amount due at the time
of final plat approval.
General Discussion:
The proposed subdivision of Hidden View is an infill property in
Prior Lake and is restricted on all sides by adjacent residential
or transportation system areas. The rectangular shape of the site
also restricts development options. The developer has proposed
Ridden View Road to link with Sayview Circle, the existing road
to the west, This provides good access to the neighbors on the
west, creating a neighborhood feeling. This street layout works
better than having a 500 foot cul -de -sac running south to north
on the site.
Another major feature of the site is the sloping topography. The
site slopes from north to south which creates some stormwater
problems due to its proximity to Prior Lake. This proposal has
addressed this issue by creating home styles that take advantage
of sloped areas. split -entry and walkout home styles are planned
for some of the sloped areas. In addressing the stormwater
management issue, the developer has created a detention pond on
the southwest area of the site.
The three lots to the north have been included in this plat as
they are part of the subject site. It is the developer's intent
to provide access for the lot on the northwest from Hidden view
Road when it is developed. The othar lots will have access from
County Road 42 through an existing double driveway. This design
is efficient because it does not request any additional access
to County Road 42. These are the three major aspects to the site
and the developer has addressed them very well in his design.
Alternatives:

HIDDEN VIEW
This project is located between BAVVIEW ADDITION and EGGUM AND CALLAHAN'S
1ST ADDITION and is bounded or, the north by County Road No. 42 and on the
south; by Shady Beach Trail. The adjacent subdivisions are mostly built out.
The northerly 3 lots of this proposed subdivision will not be platted with
this project but when they are platted they will conform to this
preliminary plat. Services will be provided to these three lots as they
will be for the southerly 15 lots. This property is currently being farmed.
There are several large pine trees along the easterly property line and
numerous trees or, the adjacent property to the east.
The story„ runoff for- the proposed project drains from the northerly end to
the southerly end. The lots will have 4" of topsoil and the front yards arid
side yards will be sodded. The rear yards may be sodded but that is
normally left up to the buyer. Erosion control fence will be installed
along the westerly, southerly and easterly sides of the project for the 15
lots that will bt platted at this time.
It is not intended to file protective covenants but Joe Miller Homes has an
Architectural Control Committee that will make sure that, among other
things, no side by side houses will look the same from the outside and
house colors will be earth -toned colors. The ad Jacent houses are around 10
years old so there shouldn't be any compatability problem as to Joe Miller
Homes houses being of a radical look as compared to the neighbors. Joe
Miller Homes builds houses of all styles and all price ranges. The homes
will be frame construction and will include rambler, split -entry and
two -story styles. There will be several rear- walkout designs. The minimum
house size will be 1100 square feet of finished area and there will
probably be very few, if any, of these.
Natural gas, electricity and cable television will be installed
underground. Natural gas lines are normally installed within the 10 foot
easement. Electric lines are installed within the street right -of -way with
the transformer boxes 3 feet behind the front lot corner. Telephone cable
is installed with the electrical lines. Street lighting will be provided
and the location will be determined by the power company for the most
desireable location of the lights.
A soils report has been furnished to the City of prior Lake engineering
department. The soils are lean clay underlain by sand. Natural clay was
somewhat sandy and in a medium to stiff condition. Sand strata is medium
dense to dense. It 'is a very good soil for construction of single family
homes. No water was encountered in the borings.
The erosion control fence will be installed prior to any construction
begins. Upon completion of the grading operation the disturbed area, with
the exception of the road bed, will be seeded and mulched. When the
sanitary sewer, watermain, storm sewer and curbs have been installed the
boulevards shall be regraded and seeded and mulched once more including any
areas outside of the utility construction that may have been disturbed
during the installation of the utilities.
A.rproximately 8.12 acres of the total'site drains to the south. One of
these areas, 3.24 acres in size, drains to the east. The proposed project
:II reduce this drainage area to 1.79 acres. Most of this drainage area
ill be sodded or seeded and mulched so the runoff after construction will
r less erosion sediment plus less runoff. The remainder of the
oject will go through the pond either through the catch basins or
erland via the drainage swale along the west line.
e general quality of the storm water currently running off of the site is
obably not the greatest because the site has been used to raise corn.
is type of operation does not provide ground cover that would help to
went erosion of the soil. The proposed project will have a sediment
e -in to catch and allow contaminants to settle out of the runoff. The
and will be covered with sod, at least in the front yards, and the rear
-ds will be either sodded or seeded and mulched. This will provide a
ter situation, to inhibit erosion of the soil. Runoff that may include
J from the street will still go through the sediment basin. Therefore
proposed project will enhance the quality of the runoff that leaves the
e.
T'. re are no trails or sidewalks planned and there is no need for arty fire
1 es. There are no plans for fencing.
1 °el that this project will have a positive impact for the neighborhood
be *.use a vacant piece of ground will now be developed. The prices of the
ne homes will undoubtedly be higher than what it cost to build the
ad,l-.cent houses at the time that they were constructed. Thus the proposed
pro -ect could conceiveably cause the adjacent houses to go up in value.
All of the proposed lots exceed the minimum. subdivision design standards
for lot area and frontage. The 6" watermain in Bayview Crest will now be
looped through the proposed project. The 8" sanitary sewer will serve the
sout 15 lots and the future north lots.

RE: PARK DEDICATION REQUIREMENT FOR HIDDEN VIEW PLAT
DATE: MARCH 29, 1993
After review of the subdivision for HIDDEN VIEW, I have
determined that the park dedication requirement as called for in
the Park Coinurehensive Plan will be in cash as opposed to a land
dedication. This is a relatively small subdivision which would
result in a land dedication of less than an acre which is not
conducive to our overall park system.
When determining land value for park dedication purposes, I
use a raw land value of $7,000 per acre. This figure is used for
dry, upland, 1008 useable land. In this subdivision, all of the
property falls under this classification resulting in a gross
value of $61,180. The 108 park dedication requirement is then
applied to the gross value w',ich results in a park dedication
cash requirement of $6,118 which is the amound due at the time of
hardshell.
Jim, if you have any questions, please let me know and I will
further explain the park dedication for HIDDEN VIEW.
Thank you.

SUBJECT: HIDDEN VIEW PRELIMINARY PLAT APPROVAL
DATE: APRIL 9, 1993
The following comments are on the review of the above referenced
plat for preliminary plat approval. Engineering Staff recommends
preliminary plat approval with the following contingencies:
1. Utility and drainage easements be shown on the final
plat and in areas where drainage from one lot is shown
crossing into the adjacent lot. Easements shall be
acceptable to the City Engineer.
2. An acceptable Wetland Delineation Report and acceptable
Wetland Replacement Plan, if necessary, be provided to
the City Engineer. Drainage easements be provided
around any wetlands.
3. Acceptable Storm Water Management Plan, grading and site
construction plans to the City Engineer.
4. Acceptable plans for sanitary sewer, watermain, and
street improvements to be provided to the City Engineer
in conformance with the Subdivision Ordinance.
5. Acceptable storm water drainage calculations and for the
development to maintain the pre - development runoff rate
leaving the site.
6. Two other comments are to be mentioned on the proposed
plat and they are as follows:
The street intersection with Shady Beach Trail is
offset by approximately seventy (70) feet from
Orchard Circle. Orchard Circle serves (4)
residences and this offset intersection would not
be a traffic hazard with the minimal traffic
volumes in this area.
The storm sewer system at Bayview Circle and Shady
Beach Trail may be undersized at this location.
Analysis of the system is needed and any corrective
work may be added in the Developer's Agreement.

RE: PRELIMINARY PLAT FOR HIDDEN VIEW, PRIOR LAKE
Dear Mr. Hayes:
I have reviewed the materials you submitted relative to the
proposed preliminary plat of Hidden View.
There are no DNR- regulated wetlands within the proposed plat. The
area is, however, within the shoreland district of Prior Lake. It
appears lot area and width requirements are met.
I note that stormwater from the proposal will drain to the south
end of the plat. There is no ponding evident within the plat. Is
stormwater routed from this plat directly to Prior Lake? I highly
recommend requiring ponding of stormwater generated from the plat.
At a bare minimum, catch basins should be incorporated into the
storm sewer system.
Treatment of runoff is the only concern I have relative to this
proposed plat. Thank you for the opportunity to review and
comment. Please call me at 772 -7910 if you have any questions.

PLANNING REPORT
AGENDA ITEM: #3
SUBJECT: CONSIDER VARIANCE APPLICATION FOR CROWN COCO
APPLICANT: DAVID MILLER
SITE ADDRESS: E -Z STOP, 16735 FRANKLIN TRAIL
PRESENTER: DEB GARROSS, ASSISTANT CITY PLANNER
PUBLIC HEARING: YES X NO
DATE: APRIL 15, 1993
HISTORY /BACKGROUND
The�ing Department received a variance application from
Crown CoCo Inc., requesting an 8' front yard variance from S.T.H.
13 right -of -way in order to install new fascia on an existing
canopy. The City is currently involved in litigation with Crown
CoCo Inc., regarding the Prior Lake Sign Ordinance and its
application to the E -Z Stop site. In addition to the variance
request, the applicant has submitted a proposed sign plan for the
site. The processing of variance and building permits for the
site have been on hold due to the ongoing litigation. It is the
request of the applicant that an 8' front yard variance be
granted in order to upgrade the existing canopy. Staff required
that a sign plan be submitted with the application because the
canopy upgrade includes the installation of two signs on the new
fascia.
PREVIOUS PROPOSALS:
See attached City Council agenda report from Deb Garross, dated
March 16, 1992 for reference to previous proposals and the
history related to this site.
DISCUSSION
The proposal is to upgrade the canopy from its existing state to
a 12 x 51 rectangular shape. The proposal is to install flat
fascia wrap around the perimeter of the existing canopy which is
located 42' from S.T.H. 13 right -of -way. See attached sheets for
reference to the proposal.
The existing canopy is located at a non - conforming front yard
setback. The Zoning Ordinance requires a minimum 50' setback
from S.T.H. 13 right -of -way. Scott County records indicate that
the site was developed in 1963, under the jurisdic4:.on of Spring
Lake Township. The site was annexed to the City of Prior Lake in
1973.
Staff reviewed this proposal in the context of other applications
where variances were granted to allow the continuation of a
4629 Dakwa St. S.E., Prior lake, Minn_sota 55372 / Ph. (612) 4474230 / Fax(612)4474245
AN EQUAL OPPORrUNfTY EMPLOYER
legal - nonconforming setback and variances granted for canopy
construction adjacent to S.P.H. 13. The proposed upgrade will
not encroach further into the setback than the existing canopy,
but will continue the existing wall. There is precedence to
grant some degree of variance from S.T.H. 13 setback
requirements. The Planning Commission granted a 7' variance
from S.T.H. 13 right -of -way for Amoco on February 1, 1988 to
permit construction of a canopy. Holiday was ranted a 17' front
yard variance in 1980 which allowed construction of a canopy 33
from S.T.H. 13 sight -of -way. See attached minutes for reference
to each variance granted.
ALTERNATIVES
1. Grant the s' front yard variance as requested.
2. Continue or table the item for specific reasons.
3. Deny the application based upon unique findings of fact
related to lack of hardship as identified by the Prior Lace
Zoning Ordinance.
RECOMMENDATION
The recommendation from staff is to approve the 8' front yard
variance from S.T.H. 13 right -of -way subject to the condition
that all signage be brought into compliance with the Prior Lake
Sign Ordinance. The applicant submitted a sign plan dated March
27, 1993 that outlines the removal, relocation and installation
of new signage for the site. Staff is concerned that sign plan
item 5, indicates that the total square footage of the
freestanding sign will be 75 feet, yet the drawing submitted at
3/8" = 1' scale indicates a total of 106 square feet of sign
area. The Planning Commission should clearly state that a
condition of variance approval be that all signage be brought
into compliance with the Prior Lake Sign Ordinance.
HARDSHIP CONSIDERATIONS
1. Literal enforcement of the Ordinance would result in undue
hardship with respect to the property.
- Literal enforcement of the Ordinance would preclude the
upgrade of the existing canopy and result in undue hardship
to the property.
2. Such unnecessary hardship results because of circumstances
unique to the property.
- The application is to renovate an existing canopy which
requires the extension of a legal - nonconforming setback. The
renovation will not cause further encroachment into the
required front yard setback.
3. The hardship is caused by provisions of the Ordinance and is
not the result of actions of persons presently having an
interest in the property.
-�.e hardship is not the result of the applicant nor City of
Prior Lake but rather results due to the application of
current zoning standards to a site which was developed under
the jurisdiction of Spring Lake Township.
The variance observes the spirit and intent of this
ordinance, produces substantial justice and is not contrary
to the public interest.
app sim ilar to other setback
variances which have been granted for canopy construction
adjacent to S.T.H. 13. The renovation will not encroach
closer to the required setback than the existing structure.
The variance would not be detrimental to the health and
welfare of the community and would produce substantial
justice.

DEB GARROSS, ASSISTANT CITY PLANNER
SUBJECT:
CONSIDER VARIANCE APPEAL FOR CROWN COCO, INC.,
DATE:
MARCH 16, 1992
INTRODUCTION:
The Planning Commission held a hearing on
February 20, 1992 to consider a variance
application for Prior Lake EZ Stop. The
representative for EZ Stop is Mr. David
Miller of Crown CoCo, Inc. The applicant
requested the Planning Commission to approve
the following variances: An eight foot front
yard variance from S.T.H. 13 right -of -way; a
twenty -one square foot sign area variance to
allow continued display of a ninety -six square
foot, freestanding sign and a request for
variance from Sign ordinance 83 -5, Section
5 -7 -4B3 to allow two freestanding signs on the
site where only one freestanding sign is
permitted. The Planning Commission denied the
variance a plication, finding no hardship
present to justify granting variances. See
attached Planning Commission minutes for
reference to this item.
BACKGROUND: This application is the result of a fifteen
month long process to bring the signs located
at the EZ Stop site into compliance with the
Prior Lake Sign Ordinance. In January of 1991,
two sign faces, a wall sign located on the
building, and the EZ Stop, freestanding sign
located adjacent to the intersection of S.T.H.
13 and Franklin Trail, were changed without an
approved sign permit from the City of Prior
Lake. See attached Exhibits A and 8 which
illustrate the signs as of May 5, 1989 and the
new sign faces which are currently being
displayed.
On January 22, 1991 a letter was mailed to
Crown CoCo and EZ Stop advising that a sign
permit is required by Sign Ordinance 83 -5, any
time a sign is "erected, changed, or
relocated ", and that the two signs were in
violation of the Ordinance. See attached
Exhibit C, letter from Deb Garross to Crown
4629 Dakota St S.E., Prior lake, Minnesota 55372 / Ph (612) 4474230 / Fax (612) 4474245
AN EQUAL OPPOxNMfY 0410YER
CoCo, Inc. The letter identified that the
signs should be removed or a permit approved
for their continued display. The letter also
discussed the possibility that the
freestanding sign was located within the
required 10' foot setback from S.T.H. 13 and
that the Ordinance allows only one
freestanding sign with a maximum area of
seventy -five square feet. The applicant was
advised that in the event that the signs did
not comply with the Sign Ordinance, an
application for variance would need to be
submitted to the City.
Staff met with Ray Roemmich of Suburban
Lighting Inc., to discuss the sign violations
and permit process. Suburban Lighting Inc.,
has submitted four sign permit applications
for changes to the wall and freestanding signs
located at EZ Stop, which date back to 1977.
See Exhibits D, E, F, and G for previous sign
permit applications at the subject site.
Mr. Roemmich determined that the EZ Stop
freestanding sign located closest to the
intersection, encroached within the required
ten foot setback from the S.T.H. 13
right -of -way line. Mr. Roemmich also
indicated that the sign standard appeared to
have been damaged and that he questioned it's
structural integrity. Mr. Roemmich suggested
that the "Kerr McGee" freestanding sign be
removed and that the EZ Stop freestanding sign
be relocated to that standard. Staff advised
Mr. Roemmich that the plan would comply with
the required setback standard and the Sign
Ordinance regulation which allows one
freestanding sign However, the EZ Stop sign
contained two illegal, sixteen square foot
"gas price" panels that had been added without
sign permits. The EZ Stop sign area is
ninety -six square feet which exceeds exceeds
the seventy -five square foot maximum area,
therefore a sign area variance would have to
be granted to retain the sign in its entirety.
Mr. Roemmich stated that he would contact
Crown CoCO Inc., to explain the relocation
plan. On April 16, 1991 staff met with the
applicant to discuss the violations, the
proposed relocation plan, required permit
procedures and the variance process. Mr.
Miller was given variance application
materials at that time.
On May 21, 1991, staff again, submitted a
letter to Crown Coco Inc., and EZ Stop
identifying the outstanding sign violations,
and advised that if sign situation was not
rectified by June 21, 1991, the file would be
turned over to the City Attorney for possible
prosecution. See Exhibit H for reference to
the letter from staff. On July 8, 1991 staff
received a letter from David Miller stating
that he did not agree with the Ordinance and
according to his interpretation, the signs
were not illegally altered. Mr. Miller also
stated the responsibility to compl with the
Ordinance should be the responsibility of the
"sign hanger." See Exhibit I, letter from
David Miller of Crown Coco, Inc. The file was
turned over to the City Attorney upon the
decision of the City Manager, for prosecution.
The City submitted a formal complaint to the
District Court in December of 1991. See
Exhibit J, copy of the formal complaint filed
with the District Court. The status of this
issue is that the City has dismissed the
complaint in order to allow the applicant the
opportunity to pursue the variance process.
In the event that the variances are denied,
and the signs are not brought into compliance
with the Ordinance, the prosecuting attorney
will recharge the applicant.
DISCUSSION: Records on file with the Planning Department
indicate that the EZ Stop building was
constructed in 1963, prior to annexation of
the site into the corporate limits of the City
of Prior Lake. The earliest sign permit on
file is for the freestanding sign located
closest to the intersection of S.T.H. 13 and
Franklin Trail. Exhibit G, permit 1977 -11
indicates that an existing "Gas" sign was
replaced with an eighty square foot Gas 6
Price" sign. Exhibit F, permit 1979 -15,
indicates that the "Kerr McGee" freestanding
sign was erected in 1979, and contains
approximately seventy square feet of sign
area. Exhibit D, permit 1979 -14 indicates
that the "Gas 8 Price" freestanding sign was
replaced with a sixty -four square loot "EZ
Stop Stores" sign. Exhibit E, permit 1979 -24
indicates that a forty -eight square foot wall
sign was placed on the building in 1979.
Please note that all permits were taken out by
Suburban Lighting Inc., and that all of the
signs were erected prior to the adoption of
sign ordinance 83 -5, adopted by the Prior Lake
City Council on May 11, 1983. The
significance is that the freestanding signs
located on site are classified as
legal- nonconforming signs. The wall sicjn,
erected in 1979 conforms with current Sigqn
Ordinance requirements A second point is
that historically, sign permits have been
obtained at this site, when the sign faces
have been changed.
In 1989, the City undertooY an active sign
control enforcement campaign whereby Sign
ordinances, permit applications and written
notification were given to all businesses
within the community. Staff took pictures of
all business signs and began to keep an
inventory of sign permits and to conduct
periodic inspections to enforce the Sign
Ordinance. The Ordinance contains an
amortization schedule indicating the dates by
which all non - conforming signs are to be
brought into compliance with the Ordinance.
However, all dates indicated in the schedule
had expired by the time that the active
enforcement campaign began in 1989.
Therefore, the Ordinance requirements are
enforced at the time that the property owner
chooses to remove or change signs. Staff has
successfully implemented the Ordinance to
remove legal non - conforming signs for the
Prior Lake Pet Hospital, Holiday Station
Stores, and Prior Lake Floral, to name a few.
All signs require a permit according to the
Ordinance. The fee owner of the property is
ultimately responsible to comply with
Ordinance requirements of the City of Prior
Lake.
The applicant is requesting several variances
from the Sign ordinance to continue display of
illegal signs that have been expanded and
changed without permits approved by the City
of Prior Lake. In addition, the EZ Stop
freestanding sign was enlarged at some point
between 1979 and 1989 to add two, sixteen
square foot, gas price signs. This addition
was done without obtaining a sign permit and
increased the total sign area to ninety -six
square feet. The total sign area maximum for
freestanding signs is seventy -five square
feet. The EZ Stop has twice the amount of
permitted freestanding sign space for
businesses within the community. The intent
of the Zoning Ordinance, of which the Sign
Ordinance is a part, is to eliminate legal
non - conformities to achieve compliance with
current regulations. The principal
consideration for variance applications are
the hardship tests found in the Zoning
Ordinance. Staff contends that there is no
hardship in this case. The signs have been
changed without the necessary permits and
approvals from the City of Prior Lake. The
hardship has been caused by the owner, who has
changed signs with disregard to the Ordinance
and notifications from staff. An additional
note, as of March 9, 1992, Prior Lake EZ Stop
had continued to display three additional
signs on site, that do not have approved sign
permits. There are no circumstances that are
unique to this site whereby setback or sign
area variances should be granted. The
variances requested do not observe the spirit
and intent of the Ordinance, but rather,
request validation of the situations that Sign
Ordinance 83 -5 was enacted to prevent.
ALTERNATIVES: 1. Uphold the decision of the Planning
Commission to deny the variance
application due to lack of a demonstrated
hardship.
2. Table this item for additional
information or research.
3. Find that the hardship tests of the
Zoning Ordinance can be met, by specific
circumstances, and approve the variance
application.
RECOMMENDATION: The recommendation from the Planning
Commission is to deny the variances as
requested. An alternaclve was developed by
the sign contractor for Crown CoCo Inc., that
conforms to the Ordinance requirements. Mr.
Roemmich, indicated that the structural
integrity of the EZ Stop freestanding sign
standard is questionable and may pose a safety
hazard. This standard is located two feet
from the S.T.H. 13 right -of -wag, close to
overhead electric utilities and has been
increased in area, without permits, to a size
that exceeds the seventy -five square foot
maximum area allowed by the Ordinance. There
are no other businesses within the community
that have two freestanding signs on site.
Grantino a variance to allow EZ Stop to
maintain two freestanding signs would give
them unfair advertising advantage over other
businesses in the community and potentially
create a negative precedent. The variances
requested provide a convenient resolution of
the issue for the applicant. However, it is
not the intent of the variance process to
provide convenience, but to provide a degree
of relief for hardships that are caused by
unique property characteristics. The
variances requested by the applicant do not
observe the spirit and intent of the Ordinance
and in the opinion of staff, are contrary to
the public interest.
ACTION REQUIRED: Will vary based on Council discussion. See
City Manager's note attached.

Planning Commission Minutes continued
that a landscaping plan be submitted to staff and this plan would be implemented in the
building permit. Staff noted that with the previous variance received and the landscap-
ing plan to be submitted, it is unlikely that this development could take place without
some type of variance. Staff recommendation was to approve the request since the pro-
posed Iayout of the lot is in the best interest of the City.
At this time Mr. Jensen took the podium and made additional comments regarding this var-
iance request.
After discussion among the Commission members they questioned as to why the building could
not be moved back twenty feet on the lot, this would still leave green space for the land-
scaping.
Motion was made by Arnold to deny the 25' front yard variance as presented by Erickson

PRIOR LAKE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT
HORST GRASER, DIRECTOR OF PLANNING
APRIL 15, 1993
The Prior Lake Planning Department has received an application
from Prior Lake Development L.P. to amend the Comprehensive Plan
as follows:
1. To add 580.4 acres of land ( "The Wilds") to the year
2000 Prior Lake Urban Service Area (P.L.U.S.A.).
2. To remove 280 acres of the existing year 2000 P.L.U.S.A.
3. To amend the land use component of the Comprehensive
Land Use Plan and to change the existing land use
designation of the 580.4 acre site from agricultural and
natural open space to low density residential and
commercial land use.
4. To amend the land use plan of the comprehensive plan to
change the existing land use designation of the 280 acre
"Land Exchange" site from industrial and low density
residential to agricultural land use.
Please refer to attached Exhibits for reference. The legal
descriptions for the amendments are incorporated in the Notice of
Public Hearing which is attached to this packet.
BACKGROUND:
Prior Lake's Comprehensive Plan (The Plan), was initially adopted
in 1981 and amended in 1982, 1986, 1987, 1989, and 1992. The
plan is general and many of the components require updating and
verification of their validity. To that end, Prior Lake Staff
has been working on a new plan which is a total rewrite of the
existing one. However it is anticipated that the new plan will
not be implemented until 1994.
The Metropolitan Council has required Prior Lake to give
consideration to the municipal service needs of the Mdewakanton
Sioux Community (MSC) , which abuts "The Wilds" acre site on the
4629 Dakota St. SE., Prior Lake, Minnesota 55372 / Ph. (612) 4474230 / Fax (612) 4474245
AN EQUAL OPPORTLIM EMPLOYER
west and southwest. If this amendment is approved, Prior Lake
and the MSC_ will have one mile of urban service area boundary in
common. Prior Lake provides municipal services to the MSC.
However, it may prove to be difficult to develop an efficient and
effective capital improvement program due to the autonomous state
of the MSC. Until recently, the MSC has provided little detail
to give any indication of planned land use along the County Road
83 corridor. Nevertheless, consideration should be given to both
trunk sewer and c.atermain oversizing to serve the anticipated
land use intensification of the MSC.
STAFF ANALYSIS•
Prior Lake Urban Service Area Expansion - Prior Lake's current
comprehensive plan pro3ects and use and service demands until
the year 2000. With a few exceptions these demands must be
addressed within the P.L.U.S.A. Prior Lake's existing urban
service area totals 5,895 acres of which 1 120 acres are vacant
developable land. The land demand pro ections to accommodate
growth are estimated at 730 acres by Prior Lake Staff. The
Metropolitan Council has estimated that only 510 acres are
needed. Their lower figure is reflective of using 3.3
units /acre density rather than actual 2.5 units /acre documented
in previous studies.
The Metropolitan Council will act upon the exchange of the
urban service area as well as any land use plan changes. The
Metropolitan Council recently adopted interim strategies related
to MUSA questions until the new or revised Metropolitan
Investment Framework is completed. This amendment is to exchange
580.4 acres as per the application and remove 280 acres directly
south of County Road 42 and adjacent to County Road 21 (see
attached map labeled proposed Urban Service Area). Staff has
determined the service characteristics (sewer and transportation)
of the subject area and the exchange area are similar. Because
of use and density characteristics, the demand on metropolitan
systems will remain unchanged.
Prior Lake's five -year down trend in housing starts came to an
abrupt halt in 1992. Primarily due to the desirability of Prior
Lake's physiographical features and its location in the
Metropolitan area as a freestanding growth center. It's expected
that there will be a demand for over 1000 single family lots in
1993. The following land use data reflects existing conditions.

The above referenced figures indicate that when compared with
those of the Metropolitan Council, "The Wilds" planned
development is consistent with and well within local and regional
capacities and densities. "The Wilds" development also complies
with the Minnesota Pollution Control Agencies Best Mana ement
Practices and the Department of Natural Resources S ore an
Regu ations. The reshaping of the urban service area also
represents sound long range planning. The amendment will bridge
an existing gap between the MSC urban development area and Prior
Lake's existing urban service area.
Sewer and Water Service Extension:
Prior Lake has the capacity to provide both sewer and water
service to the subject area. Both trunk and sewer and watermain
would be extended west within the County Road 82 corridor to a
point just southeast of the site. From there both main's will
bisect the site in a northwesterly direction (see attached sewer
and watermain maps). Over sizing of these trunks should be
considered based on the service requirement of the MSC and
development timing of the County Road 83 and 42 intersection.
The watermain will eventually be looped via a main along County
Road 42 east of the existing system.
Natural Features:
The subject s to contains an abundance of natural features
(attached please find maps titled existing conditions, trees,
topography analysis, slope analysis, wetlands analysis, and an
overall environmental analysis) . Prior Lake has maintained that

Natural Features:
The subject s to contains an abundance of natural features
(attached please find maps titled existing conditions, trees,
topography analysis, slope analysis, wetlands analysis, and an
overall environmental analysis) . Prior Lake has maintained that
development must account for these identity giving features in
the design of the neighborhoods. These features should be shared
with all community members to form a bond resulting in pride,
sense of place, and continuity. The northwest corner of the
subject site contains several steep and wooded ridges. The
wooded valleys between the ridges lead to natural wetlands and
water bodies that provide an opportunity for a sensitive and
innovative developer to create a unique residential environment.
Prior Lake's current draft comprehensive plan has identified the
most northeasterly ridge of the subject site as one of vital
significance to the community. This ridge known to some
community members as Jeffers Ridge is a prominent natural feature
that separates east from west. This three quarter mile long
ridge that guards Jeffers Pond on the west is a blaze of color
each fall. Jeffers Ridge is visible by motorists on County Road
21 and 42.
Mystic Lake is a natural environmental lake that is protected by
shoreland zoning. This 60 acres lake is the largest single
natural feature within the subject site. A large man -made
wetland within the east central area provides opportunities for
wildlife systems.
Park and O en S ace:
The sub ect s to has not been identified as a search area for a
community or regional park. It is anticipated that several
smaller neighborhood parks will serve this neighborhood. A
community trail system has been identified incorporating Jeffers
Ridge and Mystic Lake into the community trail system.

Staff Recommendation:
The recommendation rom Staff is to approve the amendments as
requested. The trade within the urban service area
is sound and prudent contiguous growth management and is
consistent with previous recommendation to Prior Lake by the
Metropolitan Council. The exchange area consisting of 280 acres
has not been assessed for any urban type of services and no plans
or proposals to develop the land have been presented to the City.
Subject to topographical limitations, the entire 280 acres is
currently being farmed.

MEMORANDUM ?,/36/2
TO: Larry Anderson, P.E.
City Engineer
City of Prior Lake
FROM: Ferrol Robinson
Principal
DATE: March 25, 1993
SUBJECT: TRAFFIC ANALYSIS OF THE PROPOSED WILDS GOLF CLUB
Per your request, we have conducted a traffic analysis of the area surrounding the
proposed Wilds Golf Club development As part of this analysis, we have estimated the
traffic generated by the development on a typical day and during the afternoon peak
hour in order to identify the improvements necessary to support this development. We
have also incorporated the analysis of traffic resulting from the proposed expansion of
the Mystic Lake Casino, now underway. However, we have differentiated the traffic
impacts of the Casino expansion from the traffic impacts of the Wilds Golf Club.
Included within this memorandum are the following data and recommendations:
• Estimated traffic on area roadways after the expansion of the Casino and the
completion of the Wilds.
• Roadway improvements necessary to accommodate the additional traffic expected
with each of these developments.
• Staging of improvements.

DEVELOPMENT ASSUMPTIONS
The Wilds Golf Club
The development proposal for the Wilds Golf Club is depicted in Figure 1 and includes
the following specific elements:
• An 18 -hole golf course with clubhouse and practice facility.
• 285 single family detached dwelling units
• 247 single family attached dwelling units (villas or townhomes)
• 25,000 gross leaseabie square feet of retail shopping
160,000 square foot hotel (125 rooms) with banquet facilities and meeting rooms
• 5,000 square foot fast food restaurant
2,000 square foot convenience store with gas pumps
7,000 square foot restaurant
60,000 square foot economy motel (100 rooms)
For purposes of this analysis, the development was divided into sub - areas. This
allowed for a better distribution of trips generated by the development to the
appropriate entrances and routes depending upon the direction of approach of the trips
and their destination within the development. The sub -areas used (A through F) are
shown in Figure 1.
Mystic Lake Casino Expansion
The Mystic Lake Casino is currently being expanded to include additional gaming
areas, office space and parking. The following characteristics of this expansion were
provided by casino personnel:
• Total employment will go from 2,700 to 4,500. Parking will be provided on -site for
all employees, eliminating the current practice of shuttling employees from
Canterbury Downs.
• The approximately 100 administrative staff currently working at Canterbury Downs
will increase to 140 and move to the Casino. This staff will work from 8:00 a.m. to
4:30 p.m.
• The Casino will continue to operate on a 24 -hour a day basis. Overall, customer
activity will continue to follow current patterns.
• The number of slot machines will increase from 1,200 to 2,300. The number of
blackjack tables will increase from 86 to 129.
• A new entrance will be constructed leading south from the Casino to County
Road 82.

The trip generation for the Wilds Golf Club for each category of land use and for each
sub -area is shown in Table 1. Trip rates used to calculate the trip generation for the
site are from the Institute of Transportation Engineers Trip Generation Manual (1985).
Trip rates for the golf course were estimated from local data. The p.m. peak hour trip
generation is approximately 550 trips departing and 710 trips arriving.
Not all trips generated by the development are new trips. This is particularly true for the
commercial areas. These uses attract a significant proportion of trips that are already
on the road, and which are denoted 'passby" trips. The level of passby trips for the fast
food restaurant was estimated at 20 percent, and for the convenience store it was
estimated at 50 percent. In addition to the passby trip adjustment, 10 percent of all
trips generated by the Wilds was assumed to both begin and end entirely w4hin the
development. This adjustment for internal trips was applied to all land uses. After
adjusting for passby and internal trips, the net p.m. peak hour trips generated are
415 trips out and 555 trips into the development. During the a.m. peak hour, the net
trips out and in are 455 and 320, respectively.
The assignment of trips between each sub -area and areas outside the development
require an understanding of the distribution of these trips to the roads adjacent to the
development. By examining the existing pattern of traffic as well as the distribution of
future traffic in the Scott County Transportation Plan, the following overall direction of
approach was established:

Mystic Lake Casino Expansion
In order to compute the anticipated trip generation of Mystic lake Casino after the
current expansion, it was necessary to make some assumptions based on existing
traffic patterns and the development assumptions listed earlier. Future traffic was
divided into three principal components, 1) the customers, 2) the gaming staff and

3) the administrative staff. The gaming staff are those required to operate the Casino.
The administrative staff are those currently working at Canterbury Downs. Each of
these was treated separately in order to compute p.m. peak hour traffic:
• Since employees are not allowed to park at the Casino, it was assumed that all
existing traffic into and out of the Casino is by customers. This traffic was increased
by 75 percent, in proportion to the increase in the gaming space available.
• It was assumed that gaming staff would be undergoing a shift change during the
4:30 to 5:30 p.m. peak, although the overall levels would still be low. It was
estimated that 12.5 percent of the gaming staff would depart the Casino during the
p.m. peak hour after having worked the day shift. It was also estimated that an
equal number of staff would begin arriving for the evening shift. Together, 25
percent of the gaming staff would leave or arrive during the p.m. peak hour.
• All administrative staff, including the projected increase, were assumed to be
departing the Casino during the p.m. peak hour.
The following table shows the overall p.m. peak hour trip generation estimated for the
Casino expansion.

DAILY TRAFFIC ON NEARBY ROADWAYS
Daily traffic in the study area before the construction of Mystic Lake Casino is shown in
Figure 2. The existing daily traffic is shown in Figure 3. The daily traffic that would
result from the expansion of the Casino is shown in Figure 4. The daily traffic that
would result from the expansion of the Casino and the completion of the Wilds is shown
in Figure 5.
INTERSECTION CAPACITY ANALYSIS AND RECOMMENDED IMPROVEMENTS
Capacity analyses were conducted at intersections on County Road 83 between
C.S.A.H. 42 and County Road 82, as well as at the intersection of C.S.A.H. 42 and
C.S.A.H. 21, to establish their level of service.
The Levels of Service E and F shown in Table 2 are considered unacceptabie because
they indicate that excessive delays will result. (Levels of Service A through C are
considered acceptable; Level of Service D is considered acceptable if it occurs only
during short periods such as peak hours.)
Existing Conditions
Turning movement counts for the p.m. peak hour (4:30 to 5:30) were collected in fall
1992, after Mystic Lake Casino had been open for several months. Column 1 of Table
2 lists the level of service for the existing intersections in the study area. Existing
geometries were assumed for all intersections except C.S.A_H. 42/ C.S.A.H. 21. In this
latter case, a temporary signal is being installed this s -immer and is therefore
considered part of the "existing" condition.
It can be seen from the table that the existing intersecticns in the study area are
currently operating at acceptable levels of service, including the entrances to Mystic
Lake Casino and to the Little Six Bingo hall. No improvements, except those already
planned, are required for the existing condition.
Mystic Lake Casino Expansion
To analyze the effect of the casino expansion on area roadways, p.m. peak hour traffic
was estimated using the expansion plans provided by Mystic Lake Casino. This traffic
was added to existing traffic in order to determine the impact of the Casino expansion
on existing intersections in the study area plus a new entrance to the casino from
County Road 82.

Column 2 of Table 2 shows the level of service that would occur if no changes are
made to the existing geometrics (except for the addition of the temporary signal at
C.S.A.H. 42/C.S.A.H. 21 noted before). From this table, it can be seen that several
deficiencies (shown as Level of Service E -F) result from the addition of Casino
expansion traffic.
The following roadway and Intersection improvements are needed to accommodate the
traffic expected when Mystic Lake Casino completes its expansion and to eliminate the
potential problems identified:
rcoapway t apacny improvements
• Reconstruct County Road 83 between C.S.A.H. 42 and County Road 82 from two -
lane rural to four -lane divided.
• Reconstruct County Road 83, north of C.S.A.H. 42, from two-lane rural to four -lane
undivid -
Reconstruct C.S.A.H. 42, east of County Road 83, from two -lane rural to four -lane
undivided.
Major Intersection Improvements
�
The intersection of C.S.A.H. 42 and County Road 82 is already signalized. Improve
operations by providing separate left turn and right turn lanes on all approaches to
the intersection. ,
• Signalize the intersection of County Road 82 and County Road 83 and provide at
least two lanes of approach from all directions. f -
Provide a right turn lane for traffic turning right onto C.S.A.H. 42 from County
Road 21.
Casino Entrance Improvements
• Provide a traffic signal at the main entrance to the Casino. Construct a double left
turn for traffic exiting the Casino and going north on County Road 83. This should
be coordinated with internal circulation improvements to favor the main entrance.
• All exits from the casino including the main exit, should have an exclusive right turn
lane ( "free right") for exiting traffic and an exclusive right turn lane for traffic entering
the Casino.
. Provide a traffic signal at the entrance to the Little Six Bingo Hall.
13
The level of service that would result from these improvements is shown in Column 3 of
Table 2. The overall level of service of the C.S.A.H. 42 O.S.A.H. 21 intersection
improves to A, the level of service at C.S.A.H. 42/County Road 83 improves from F
to B, and the level of service at County Road 82/County Road 83 improves to A.
Providing a traffic signal at the main entrance to the Casino and at the entrance to the
Little Six Bingo Hall will improve the level of service of these intersections to A. The
traffic volumes at the other two entrances to the Casino are not high enough to warrant
traffic signals. The Casino operator should provide Improved internal circulation to
favor use of we main entrance to counteract the potential problems faced by drivers
attempting to turn left out of the unsignalized entrances. If this is done, the level of
service of these two access points will improve to D.
The Wilds Golf Club
Column 4 in Table 2 shows the level of service that would result if the improvements
recommended with the completion of the Casino expansion are adopted and the
anticipated traffic from the Wilds Golf Club is added to the roadway system.
An additional problem that would occur away from the Wilds development is that the
intersection of County Road 82/C.S.A.H. 21 will operate under level of service F. This
problem can be corrected by providing two lanes of approach for traffic turning from
County Road 82.
For roadways and intersections associated with the Wilds development, the following
recommendations are made.
• Install a traffic signal at the main entrance to the Wilds from County Road 83. The
southbound approach should have a left turn phase. Two lanes should be provided
for exiting traffic (Figure 6).
• The Wilds' south exit to County Road 83 should be constructed to two lanes. There
should also be turn lanes constructed at the exit from the Wilds to County Road 82
(see Figure 6).
• Within the Wilds, a two -lane 32 foot wide roadway should be able to handle the
anticipated traffic within the development (Figure 7). The intersection of the internal
north -south roadway with the roadway leading to the hotel and clubhouse should be
constructed with separate turn lanes for each movement (see Figure 8).
Column 5 of Table 2 shows that once the improvements recommended to occur as part
of the Wilds development are in place, all intersections in the study area will operate at
acceptable levels of service during the peak periods (Level of Service D or better; and
at Level of Service C or better at other times).

Subject: Comments and Recommendations on Realtor Workshop
April 1, 1993
On January 7, 1993, our City Flaunting Commission conducted an open workshop with local
business Realtors. This was the first attempt to launch an ongoing proactive approach towards
all the necessary background information to gain an understanding of present conditions
and forces at work in our community. The hope was to establish an understanding of property and
housing preferences and perceptions of evsting and prospective residents.
The imitation to our workshop solicited the response to 6 target questions on various topics
concerting our community (attachment 1). Only one individual in the group of over 20 shared his
perceptions to these questions. The Realtors Could not identify any common trends with respect
to housing preferences, the general feeling was "anything goes.... well sell whatever is out there."
The first topic of overwhel concern was our Schools. Several issues regarding the future.
funding, and referendums were raised. The continued improvement of relations and
communication between the School District and City Hall was encouraged. Our Schools cannot
exist in a vacuum span from the City. They are an integral part of our Community. Prior Lake
should not only continue to improve relations with School District 719, but also encourage mutual
cooperation with Savage, Credit River and Spring Lake.
The discussion then turned to the qualities of our City that are attractive to prospective residents.
There was common agreement with regard to our natural amenities. Our rolling hills, wooded land,
wetlands, trails, parks and the lake were all desirable qualities which should be preserved for a0 to
enjoy. There was mention of the need for variety in our developments; diversity was encouraged.
Meandering- streets, irregular lot sizes, open space and a warm country feeling are desirable.
Other concerns were expressed regarding the future of our Downtown and our BusinessIndustrial
Base. Staff pointed out that it takes over 15 years to receive positive revenue from local
Business,Industry when city financial aid is prodded. Further research with our City Finance
Director revealed that last year our city was awarded $354,130 from our State Fiscal Disparities
Program because of our lack of industry. This represents 12.5% of last years total City's tax
revenue. Furthermore, 40% of any local industries tax revenue go into this fund, and not to our
City. Single family housing provides the most beneficial tax revenue for our community, and with
immediate returns. One other interesting point with regard to interest in our Downtown. We are a
Freestanding Growth Center, but due to the large percentage of commuters, most shopping dollars
are spent out of the area in businesses convenient to their commute. City Government cannot
totally direct downtown growth and dictate markets. Furthermore, it was stated that free
enterprise will prevail as the driving force behind fitture development.
One Realtor reflected that our local resident's attitudes have changed over the years; Lacking was
community c aring, personal warmth and a friendly attitude. Redirecting the topic to the question
"what is community," evoked a silent response. The Comprehensive Plan 2010 addresses
community pride, heritage, and sense of place. A unified, integrated, ituerlinked framework of
home sites, trails, parks, open space and natural features with a "sense of place" help to unify our
community. We feel that the proposals in our future comprehensive plan will provide the needed
c'_v-ection for change in our community's perception and attitudes that would foster a renewed sense
of civic and personal pride.
with mention of the fern' bridge completion, concern arose about the c:itr's inability to keep up
MLh the currem inspection schedule with resultant development delays and construction cost
ovemms; A cry . "'or more Planners, Building Inspectors and Staff flooded the .onx, i nere was
great Gar hat future development demands would overburden a City hall caught unable and
unprepared for this rate of growth. An ongoing 6 and 12 month staffing evaluation could foresee
and avoid these potential problems.
It c as a very informative evening and our guests appreciated the opportunity to meet and desired
the opportunity for future meetings. Thanks to all of our guests in attendance.
Planning Commission Recommendations:
1) Maintain an ongoing relationship with our local School District 719, and encourage joint
community cooperation with Savage, Credit River and Spring Lake. (Attachment 2)
2) Integrate our CHYS long range growth plans and our Schools long range plaits into the 2010
Comprehensive Plan.
3) Encourage the continued efforts towards informing our community on concerns such as
feasibility of future industrial development and tax benefits and liabilities, Comprehensive Plan.
future City plans, Citizen Forums and Workshops. An informational editorial Mite "City
Mantra. 's and Mayor's Comer" in our local paper, is one other source of information to the
community. Note, the editorial section of our local paper is at no cost to the city.
a) Reevaluate our staffing levels with respect to future residential growth An ongoing 6 and 12
month projection can identify and adjust our staffing levels to accommodate an increase m plat
reviews and built ing pemnits. The funding for an additional part time inspector and a full time
secretary is offset by revenues from increased permit application fees.

RE: Proposed Comprehensive Plan Amendment
The Wilds Project
Dear Mr. Graser:
P. 02
7 �
t
The significance of County Road 83 as a major roadway in northern Scott County is
rapidly increasing. The Wilds project in conjunction with the casino development will increase
traffic volumes going north into Shakopee on County Road 83 to 18.100 average daily ffic
(ADT), �-
The 1990 -2010 Shakopee Comprehensive Plan lists County Road 83 as a minor arterial
with traffic volumes up to 12,000 ADT in urban areas and 5,000 ADT in rural areas. The
portion of County Road 83 from the Shakopee Bypass to the Prior Lake /Shakopee city limits is
currently in the rural service area, This rural service area is not planned (c, becu)ne a part of the
Shakopee urban service area for at least another 20 years.
Coordination of development along the entire County Road 83 corridor should he
addressed by all parties involved including Scott County, the Mdewakanton Dakota Indian
Community. and the cities of Prior lake and Shakopee. We suggest that a series of soh - regional
forums to further discuss transportation an other deeelupmert issues woad be ber.eticial to all
parties. The City of Shakopee would also request additional opportunities to comment on The
Wilds project such as in the environmental review process,
Thank you for giving the City of Shakopee the opportunity to comment on your
Comprehensive Plan Amendment.
