ITEM II - DAVID HUNT - VARIANCE
David Hunt, 4005 Pleasant, Minneapolis, has a purchase agreement
on the property at 4580 Lords Street and is requesting a 55'
lakeshore variance to construct a deck and addition on the
residence. The addition would increase the value and appearance
of the home to coincide with the neighborhood.
Horst Graser presented the information as per memo of January 3,
1991. The lots on Lords Island were not platted but divided by
meets and bounds and the lot in question is very shallow. The
home was built in the 1960's and waq constructed parallel to the
road. The 904 contour of the lake encroaches upon the lot in
such a manner as to create a triangular shaped building area.
All homes in the area would need variances under current
standards, as the lots are substandard. No comments were
received from the DNR. Staff's recommendation is to approve the
application as submitted as it does meet with the character of
the neighborhood, would improve the value and appearance of the
property, give the owner the opportunity to enjoy lake benefits
and that hardship is caused by the irregular lot shape and legal
non - conforming setback of the existing home.
Comments from the Commissioners were on square footage of
existing home, tree removal, neighbors approval, and all were in
agreement of the variance application.

PLANNING REPORT
SUBJECT: Home Occupation Permit
APPLICANT: Mr. Paul J. Viereck / Viereck Fireplace Sales, Inc.
SITE: 3465 N.W. 140th Street
DATE: February 15, 1991
INTRODUCTION•
The Planning Department has received an application from Paul
Viereck of 3465 N.W. 140th Street to consider a Home Occupation
Permit. Mr. Viereck proposes to continue to operate a fireplace
sales operation from his residence.
BACKGROUND'
Mr. Viereck has been operating a fireplace sales operation from
his residence since June of 1980. He was issued a Home Occupation
Permit at that time on the condition that he live in the home and
have only one additional employee to sell woodstoves, fireplaces,
and related glass items. Any expansion of products was to be
reviewed by the Planning Commission. This permit was issued
with a five year expiration date, to be reviewed by the
Commission before renewal. The permit expired in 1985 and no
attempt was made by Mr. Viereck to renew his permit. The
expiration of this permit was brought to the attention of staff
while researching a Sign Ordinance violation by Mr. Viereck.
DEVELOPMENT ISSUES:
T e su 7ect site is located about 1/2 mile west of County Road 21
on County Road 42. It is a 10 acre parcel which fronts County
Road 42 for 330 feet, and is zoned A -1. The site and accessory
buildings are totally isolated from the two abutting neighbors by
large trees. The closest neighbor is about 700 feet.
STAFF ANALYSIS•
The propose Nome Occupation permit is to continue to conduct a
fireplace sales and installation business from his residence
located at 3465 N.W. 140th Street. The site includes a display
showroom with a private entrance, a warehouse for product
storage, a brickwork display in the yard, and a large sign at the
intersection of his driveway and County Road 42. There are two
employees; Mr. Viereck and a part -time employee that works three
days per week.
The operation consists of the sales and service of fireplaces,
wood burning stoves and inserts, saunas, hot tubs, spas and
whirlpool baths. Sales are conducted on an order basis, with
deliveries made to the installation site. His showroom had

An Equal Opportunity /Affin atiue Action Employer
fourteen different fireplaces, three woodstoves, and one sauna on
display. There were also fireplace accessories and glass doors.
Mr. Viereck estimates that the average amount of traffic to his
business is one or two people per day, and that only 10 percent
of his clients are walk -ins. He stated that 90 percent of his
business is conducted by telephone, but he would eventually like
his operation to grow to be 50 percent walk -ins and 50 percent
telephone sales. Seventy percent of his customers are
contractors, and 30 percent are homeowners.
Mr. Viereck's business operates week -days, in the evening "once
in a while ", and Saturday mornings from 9:00 to 12:00. He
estimated that he receives a UPS delivery approximately twice a
week.
The objective of zoning is to establish areas where homogeneous
or like uses can be accommodated. Home occupations may be
permitted only if they do not detract from the residential
character of the neighborhood. Staff is concerned that this
occupation was discovered as a result of research performed
concerning Mr. Viereck's third violation of Prior Lake Sign
Ordinance 83 -5. Portable signs, such as Mr. Viereck's, require
an approved sign permit prior to their display and are only
permitted in Business Districts. They are not permitted in A 71
zoning districts, which is where Mr. Viereck's business is
located. In addition, a review of the Home Occupation permit
issued in June of 1980 expressly stated that only one 4' x 3'
sign would be allowed to advertise the home occupation and that
the occupation permit was issued for a period not to exceed five
years. Mr. Viereck made no attempt to contact the City
requesting a permit review or renewal, and staff were unaware
that the expiration had occurred. A system to correct this type
of situation in the future has been in place since 1987, but
permits with expiration dates in place prior to 1987 may still be
missed.
Due to Paul Viereck's history of violations regarding City
ordinances, staff is recommending approval of the home occupation
permit with conditions attached. Perimeters must be in place to
limit his business growth at this location. Staff feels that Mr.
Viereck's business has reached its maximum size for its current
location and, if additional growth is desired or attempted,
t
relocation o a commercial zoned area will be necessary. Staff
feels that these conditions should be agreed to by Paul Viereck
in writing, and that a violation in any one of them will be
grounds for revokation of the home occupation permit.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
The recommen anon from staff is to approve a home occupation
permit for 3465 140th Street subject to the following conditions.
If this permit is approved, the Planning Commission may want to
require: 1) that Mr. Viereck agree to these conditions in
writing; 2) that inspections be performed every six months to
ensure compliance with the conditions; and 3) that any
violations of these conditions be considered as grounds for
revokation of the home occupation permit. If approved, staff
recommends that this hearing be continued to permit staff to
establish findings.
1. Signage will be limited to one 4 sign to be located at
the intersection of the driveway and County Road 42.
2. Displays must be confined to the inside of the showroom
and /or warehouse.
3. Mr. Viereck must remain living in the home, and homestead the
property, in order for the business to continue in its
current location.
4. The number of employees in addition to Paul Viereck must be
limited to one.
5. Physical expansion of the showroom, display area, or
warehouse is prohibited. Additional buildings for the
operation's use will not be permitted on the site.
6. The products that will be ordered, sold, installed, and /or
serviced must be specified in the application. No expansion
of these products or services will be allowed without prior
approval by the City of Prior Lake.
7. If any portion of Mr. Viereck's ten acre parcel, on which
this operation is located, is split or sold, this permit
would become void and business operations that have been
approved must cease and desist.
I, Paul Viereck, agree to the above conditions so that I may
continue to operate my business from my home by receiving a Home
Occupation Permit from the City of Prior Lake, Minnesota. If, at
any time, I am in violation of any of the above conditions
without prior approval from the City, I understand that my home
occupation permit may be immediately revoked, and that I may be
prosecuted by the City Attorney.

PRIOR LAKE PLANNING COMMISSION
- MINUTES -
JUNE 19, 1980
The June 19, 1980 meeting of the Prior Lake Planning Commission was called to order
by Chairman Fitzgerald. Present at the meeting were Commissioners Warmka, Wilker,
Fitzgerald, City Planner Graser and Councilman Bissonett. Commissioners Johnson and
Arnold were absent.
The minutes of the June 5, 1980 meeting were reviewed. Motion was made by Warmka to
approve the minutes as published, seconded by Wilker. Upon a vote taken the motion
was duly passed.
Item I, a Home Occupation Permit request by Mr. Paul Viereck. Mr. Viereck was
present at the meeting to answer questions.
At this time Mr. Graser gave his presentation noting that Mr. Viereck is requesting
a home occupation permit for RR1, Box 306, Shakopee to sell and display fireplaces,
wood stoves and related glass items to the general public. He also noted that with
this permit the applicant wishes to display a 4'x8' sign which will be fastened to
a rough cedar outhouse. This would be adjacent to County Road 42. Staff recommen-
dation was to approve the request to sell wood stoves, fireplaces and related glass
items, but only to approve a 3'x3' sign. He also recommended that this permit be
approved for a five year period and at that time it would expire and the applicant
would have to come before the Planning Commission.to renew this permit.
At this time Mr. Viereck stated that he is also in the wholesale aspect of the busi.
ness, and at times contractors would be coming in to look at these items. fie stated
that most of the sales would be done from his warehouse as spec items.
Commission members commented on this request. There was concern as to how many cus-
tomers Mr. Viereck would have per day. Mr. Fitzgerald also questioned the size of
the sign as recommended by staff.
It was noted that the proposed sign ordinance would allow a 4' x 3' sign in an
agricultural area.
Staff also suggested that the products sold on the premises be noted in the permit
and if there would be an expansion of this it would have to come before the Planning
Commission for approval.
Motion was made by Warmka to approve the request for a Home Occupation Permit on the
grounds that Mr. Viereck is living in the home and that he would have only one addi-
tional employee to sell wood stoves, fireplaces and related glass items. Any intended
expansion of products should come before the Commission, this motion also includes
the approval of a 4' x 3' sign. The Home Occupation Permit will expire at the end

of five years and must be renewed by the E omission, seconded by Wilker. Upon
a vote taken, the motion was duly passed.
Item II, a variance request by Cy and Nancy Kruse. Mr. Kruse was present at the
meeting to answer questions.
Staff's presentation noted that Mr. E Mrs. Kruse are requesting a 3' front yard
variance and a 5' side yard variance to construct a 22' x 22' detached garage for
Lot 26 and 1/2 of 27, Red Oaks. This is a vacant 92' x 1LI' lakeshore parcel and
zoned R -1. The lot adjacent to the north is developed with a detached garage set
back 13' and 3' from rear and front corner respectively. The garage is set back
19' from the blacktop roadway, the lot lines are not at right angles with the
road and therefore causing a difference in set backs. The proposed garage is
facing the same set of circumstances, it would be approximately 18' from the
other garage. Staff noted that the reason for the 3' variance rather than the
6' variance is that the zoning code calls for that, if there are two adjacent
structures having different set backs from the front property line you may take
the average of those two structures. In this case the distance between the pro-
posed garage and existing garage would be 18' which is only 2' short of code re-
quirement. The subject garage will be a side loading garage, or parallel to.the
road.
Staff made a recommendation to approve the variance on the condition that it is con-
structed as a side loading garage and it be moved back one foot. A 20' front yard
setback is a precedence this Commission has recommended in the past. Also, the
variance would not be detrimental to established construction character of the
neighborhood.
The Commission members commented on this. Commissioner Fitzgerald questioned why
a variance request was being considered for a lot that has not been developed.
It was noted that there would be a home constructed on this lot in the future.
Commissioner Warmka questioned whether the proposed building could be moved back an
additional foot from the roadway making it 20'. Mr. Kruse had no objectidns
to this request.
Motion was made by Wilker to approve the request for a variance to construct a
22' x 22' detached garage giving the applicant a 5' side yard variance and a 2'
front yard variance with the restriction being that the garage be a side loading
garage, as it would not be detrimental to the neighborhood, seconded by Warmka.
Upon a vote taken, the motion was duly passed.
Item III, a variance request by Gary Revak. Mr. Revak was present at the meeting
to answer questions.
Mr. Graser noted that this variance request was tabled two weeks prior so that Mr.
Revak could obtain more detailed information regarding elevations, construction
materials and a more detailed lot plan. Also he was to obtain a detailed parking
scheme and overall traffic flow plan. Staff noted that he had received these doc-

PLANNING REPORT
APPLICANT: DALE SCHENIAN
ITEM: LAKESHORE VARIANCE
PRESENTER: DEB GARROSS, ASSISTANT CITY PLANNER
PUBLIC HEARING: YES X NO
DATE: FEBRUARY 21, 1991
SITE ANALYSIS
HISTORY /BACKGROUND
The Planning Department received a variance application from Mr.
Dale Schenian who proposes to construct a deck addition to the
westerly side of his home. The deck is proposed to be located 42
feet from the 904 contour which would require the Planning
Commission to approve a 33 foot lakeshore variance. The existing
home was built in 1957 under the jurisdiction of another
government. The property is located within Section 30 which was
annexed from the City of Savage in 1974.
PHYSIOGRAPHY:
The subject site is a large lakeshore lot consisting of 36,000
square feet and approximately 120 feet of frontage. The property
slopes toward the lakeshore. There are a number of trees located
in the front yard and three trees on the lakeside of the home.
One of the trees may be impacted by construction of the proposed
deck. The basement walkout elevation of the home is at 909.1
which is compliant with floodplain elevation requirements.
ADJACENT USES:
The adjacent lot to the north is developed with a single family
home. The property to the south contains an older cabin which
will likely be renovated at some future date. It is possible
that a variance granted for the subject site may influence future
redevelopment of the southeasterly lot. This neighborhood is
fully developed with single family homes and cabins, some of
which, are located within the floodplain of Prior Lake.
DEVELOPMENT SUMMARY•
The site is zone R -1 Urban Residential and is located within the
S -D Shoreland District. The required lakeshore setback in this
district is 75 feet. The lot coverage including existing
structures and driveway is approximately 238 percent. The
proposed deck addition consists of approximately 815 square feet
however, decks are not typically considered as impervious

An Equal Opportunity'AJJbmatioe Action Employer
surface. The maximum coverage allowed for lakeshore lots is 308
percent. If the deck were included in coverage calculations, the
percentage would be approximately 258 percent.
PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS:
The single family home on this site has a legal non - conforming
lakeshore setback of 46 feet. The structure was built under the
jurisdiction of a government other than the City of Prior Lake.
The property contained a concrete slab under the proposed porch,
which has been removed from the site. (Patios and platforms
under 30 inches in height, are not subject to setback
requirements.) The proposal is to build a second story attached
deck with dimensions similar to the pre - existing slab.
The legal non - conforming setback of the home is a circumstance
unique to this site which was not the result of actions of the
applicant nor the City of Prior Lake. There is presently one
small, four foot deck on the home. The Planning Commission has
tended to grant variances for deck additions to lakeshore homes
in order to allow individuals the opportunity to enjoy lakeshore
I iving. If it is the intent of the Planning Commission to grant
a variance for the site, the size of deck that permits
"reasonable use" will need to be determined.
RECOMMENDATION:
The recommendation from staff is to approve a 29 foot lakeshore
variance for a deck addition to the southwesterly side of the
home. The variance would allow the applicant to build a 16 foot
deck addition within the building envelope that was established
in 1957 when the home was built. The Planning Commission may wish
to address tree replacement for the site. It is possible that
construction of the deck will damage the existing maple that is
located immediately west of the proposed deck addition.
The hardship in this case is due to the legal non - conforming
setback of the existing home. Literal enforcement of the
ordinance would preclude any deck additions, which would deprive
the applicant of the right to use the Lakeshore property as
commonly enjoyed by other lakeshore homeowners. The hardship is
not a result of actions of this applicant. The variance observes
the spirit and intent of the Ordinance and would not be contrary
to the public interest.

PROPOSED ZONING ORDINANCE AMENDMENTS
HORST GRASER, DIRECTOR OF PLANNING
X YES NO
FEBRUARY 21, 1991
BACKGROUND:
Attached four Zoning Ordinance Amendments 91 -3; 91 -4; 91 -5
and 91 -6, which were developed in order to clarify and assist
staff in enforcement several sections of the code.
PROPOSED AMENDMENT #1: (ORDINANCE 91 -03)
The first propose amendment is intended to regulate the location
and heights of fences in all zoning districts. The existing fence
regulations are quite vague and do not address yard location.
The problem that has arisen is that six foot fences are being
erected in front yards and on corner lots in locations that
obstruct sight visibility for vehicular traffic.
Under most circumstances, six (6) foot fences will be allowed
along side yards and along rear yards. Forty -two (42) inch and
25% opaque fences may be placed in the front yard. Fences in
right -of -ways are not permitted. In order to write this
amendment, Staff needed to define front, side, and rear yards.
An example of a fence this amendment would prevent is at the
intersection of Crest Avenue and Amblewood Drive. The amendment
to Section 6.10E would read as follows: (See also proposed
Ordinance 91 -03 attached.)
IN ALL DISTRICTS A FENCE SIX (6) FEET HIGH OR SHORTER
MAY BE ERECTED ON THE REAR LOT LINE, THE SIDE LOT LINES,
AND RETURN TO THE NEAREST FRONT CORNER OF THE PRINCIPLE
BUILDING. IN RESIDENTIAL DISTRICTS A FENCE NOT
EXCEEDING FORTY -TWO (42) INCHES IN HEIGHT AND HAVING A
OPACITY OF NOT MORE THAN 25% MAY BE ERECTED ON THE FRONT
LOT LINE AND THE SIDE LOT LINES FORWARD OF THE FRONT
LINE OF THE PRINCIPLE BUILDING. FENCES SHALL NOT BE
PERMITTED IN ANY RIGHT -OF -WAY.
FENCES SHALL BE CONSTRUCTED IN A WORKMANLIKE MANNER, BE
OF SUBSTANTIAL MATERIAL REASONABLY SUITED FOR THE
INTENDED PURPOSE. EVERY FENCE SHALL BE MAINTAINED ON
BOTH SIDES IN A CONDITION OF GOOD REPAIR AND SHALL NOT
REMAIN IN A CONDITION OF DISREPAIR OR DANGER, OR
CONSTITUTE A NUISANCE, PUBLIC OR PRIVATE.

An Equal Opportunity /AJ ffrati"e Action Employer
The proposed fence amendment necessitates that the definitions of
front, side and rear yard be clarified. The proposed language is
as follows:
YARD, FRONT: A YARD EXTENDING ACROSS THE FULL WIDTH OF
THE LOT AND LYING BETWEEN THE FRONT PROPERTY LINE OF THE
LOT AND THE NEAREST LINE OF THE PRINCIPLE BUILDING.
YARD, REAR: A YARD EXTENDING ACROSS THE FULL WIDTH OF
THE LOT AND LYING BETWEEN THE REAR LINE OF THE LOT AND
THE NEAREST LINE OF THE PRINCIPLE BUILDING.
YARD, SIDE: A YARD BETWEEN THE SIDE LINE OF THE LOT AND
THE NEAREST LINE OF THE PRINCIPLE BUILDING AND EXTENDING
FROM THE FRONT LINE OF THE PRINCIPLE BUILDING TO THE
REAR LINE OF THE PRINCIPLE BUILDING.
PROPOSED AMENDMENT #2: (ORDINANCE 91 -04)
The purpose of this amendment is to regulate the height of
fencing and plant material for corner lots. Staff has labeled
the restricted area as the clear view triangle. The purpose of
this amendment is to maintain adequate sight distances at
intersections. The amendment to Section 6.10 would add paragraph
I and would read as follows: (See attached Ordinance 91 -04 for
further reference.)
ON CORNER LOTS IN RESIDENTIAL DISTRICTS, NO STRUCTURE OR
PLANTING IN EXCESS OF ONE FOOT ABOVE STREET CENTER LINE
GRADE, EXCEPT FENCES THAT MEET THE REQUIREMENTS OF
SECTION 6.10E FOR FRONT YARD FENCES, SHALL BE PERMITTED
WITHIN A TRIANGULAR AREA DEFINED AS FOLLOWS: BEGINNING
AT THE INTERSECTION OF THE PROJECTED PROPERTY LINES OF
TWO INTERSECTING STREETS, THENCE FORTY (40) FEET ALONG
ONE PROPERTY LINE, THENCE DIAGONALLY TO A POINT FORTY
(40) FEET FROM THE POINT OF BEGINNING ON THE OTHER
PROPERTY LINE, THENCE TO THE POINT OF BEGINNING.
PROPOSED AMENDMENT #3: (ORDINANCE 91 -05)
The main purpose of t is amendment is to aid City Staff in
investigation and prosecution of people who illegally convert
single family homes to duplexes for rental purposes. The Zoning
Ordinance allows duplexes as a conditional use in R -1 Zones.
However, people often convert their homes, without first
obtaining required conditional use and buildincj permits, in
order to rent a portion of the home. The problem is that the
units typically do not meet Fire, Building or Zoning Code
requirements. The existing language is vague and the
responsibility for proving that an illegal duplex exists, is on
City staff.
The proposed amendment defines what a dwelling unit is and how it
may be occupied. In the event that two dwelling units are
present in a home in an R -1 District, (ie.. there are two sets
of cooking, sleeping and eating facilities), then it will be the
property owners responsibility to demonstrate that they are
maintaining a one family, living arrangement. The determination
is based solely upon the definitions proposed in the ordinance.
Staff will not have to make the determination of whether people
are using common facilities and living as one family.
The proposed amendment will entail amending the definition of
"Family ", "Dwelling Unit ", and adding the definition of
"Housekeeping Unit ". Section 8 definition would be amended to
read as follows: (See also Proposed Ordinance 91 -05.)
FAMILY: ONE (1) OR MORE PERSONS RELATED BY BLOOD, MARRIAGE,
ADOPTION, OR FOSTER PARENT RELATION OCCUPYING A PREMISES
AND LIVING AS A SINGLE HOUSEKEEPING UNIT, OR A GROUP OF
NOT MORE THAN FOUR (4) PERSONS, NOT SO RELATED OCCUPYING
A PREMISES AND LIVING AS A SINGLE HOUSEKEEPING UNIT.
HOUSEKEEPING UNIT: ALL PERSONS RESIDING WITHIN A DWELLING UNIT
WHOSE RELATIONSHIP INCLUDES A SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT OF
SOCIAL INTERACTION, INCLUDING THE SHARING OF
HOUSEKEEPING RESPONSIBILITIES, EXPENSES, AND THE TAKING
THE MEALS TOGETHER.
DWELLING UNIT: ONE OR MORE ROOMS DESIGNED OR INTENDED FOR
OCCUPANCY AS A SINGLE LIVING UNIT, WITH SANITARY,
CULINARY, AND SLEEPING FACILITIES, SEPARATE FROM THOSE
OF OTHER LIVING UNITS AND INTENDED FOR THE EXCLUSIVE USE
OF A SINGLE FAMILY. A ROOM SHALL BE DEEMED A DWELLING
UNIT IF IT CONTAINS FACILITIES FOR COOKING, SLEEPING,
AND EATING, AND IF IT CAN BE SEPARATED FROM OTHER ROOMS
IN THE SAME BUILDING, IF ACCESS CAN BE GAINED WITHOUT
ENTERING OR PASSING THROUGH ANY LIVING SPACE OF ANOTHER
DWELLING UNIT, AND IF IT IS USED FOR RESIDENTIAL
OCCUPANCY.
PROPOSED AMENDMENT #9: (ORDINANCE 91 -06)
This amen ment is designed to give Staff the opportunity to
mitigate glare or lights that shine onto the property of others.
This amendment resulted because of a situation that arose last
summer in Candy Cove Park where glare from a light posed problems
for a homeowner. This amendment to Section 6 of the Zoning
Ordinance would read as follows:
EXTERIOR LIGHTING SHALL BE DESIGNED AND ARRANGED TO
LIMIT DIRECT ILLUMINATION AND GLARE UPON OR INTO ANY
CONTIGUOUS PARCEL OR OTHER LAKESHORE PROPERTY.
MITIGATIVE MEASURES SHALL BE EMPLOYED TO LIMIT GLARE AND
SPILL LIGHT TO PROTECT NEIGHBORING PARCELS AND TO
MAINTAIN TRAFFIC SAFETY ON PUBLIC ROADS. THESE MEASURES
SHALL INCLUDE BUT NOT BE LIMITED TO, LENSES, SHIELDS,
LOUVERS, OR PRISMATIC CONTROL DEVICES, THAT ARE DESIGNED
TO CONCENTRATE ILLUMINATION ON THE PROPERTY OF THE OWNER
OR OPERATOR OF SAID LIGHTING OR ILLUMINATING DEVICES.
PUBLIC STREET LIGHTS INSTALLED IN PUBLIC RIGHT -OF -WAY
SHALL BE EXCEPTED FROM THESE STANDARDS.
THE CITY MAY LIMIT THE HOURS OF OPERATION OF OUTDOOR
LIGHTING IF IT IS DEEMED NECESSARY TO REDUCE IMPACTS ON
THE SURROUNDING NEIGHBORHOOD.
RECOMMENDATION:
The recommendation from staff is to approve the amendments as
presented. A separate motion is required for each amendment.
