°• I
SUBJECT: SHORELAND VARIANCE
APPLICANT: JOAN KUHLMANN
SITE ADDRESS: 14223 SHADY BEACH TRAIL
PRESENTER: SAM LUCAST
PUBLIC HEARING YES X NO
DATE: SEPTEMBER 5, 1991
HISTORY /BACKGROUND:
Thinning Department received an application for a variance
from Joan Kuhlmann of 14223 Shady Beach Trail. The application
is to encroach sixteen (16) feet into the seventy five foot
Shoreland District setback. The applicant removed a smaller
deteriorated deck and would like to replace it with a 14' x 14'
three season porch.
PREVIOUS PROPOSALS:
There h ave been no previous proposals for variances on this
property.
PHYSIOGRAPHY•
The twenty w thousand (22,000) square foot lot slopes gently
toward Prior Lake. The elevation drops just over four (4) feet
in the seventy five (75) feet between the house and the 904'
contour line.
EXISTING CONDITIONS:
The house was ui t in 1969 and the area annexed into Prior Lake
in 1974 as part of the Savage Annexation. Housing to the east of
the subject site is newer than the housing to the west and the
setbacks are greater too. The west setback is forty one (41)
feet from the 904' contour and the east setback exceeds present
requirements. In February, 1991 the Planning Commission approved
a twenty nine (29) foot variance to construct a deck for Dale
Shenian 14120 Orchard Circle (VA 91 -03). This site is two lots
east of the subject site.
The applicant removed an existing 12' x 12' deteriorated deck
from the house. .The proposed porch would extend fourteen (14)
feet from the house, an additional two (2) feet beyond the
previous deck.
It appears the porch can be constructed without the removal of
any trees or vegetation. A significant tree, (10 - 12 inch
caliper green ash) is located adjacent to the proposed building
site. It should not present a construction problem or need to be
removed.
COMMUNITY
4629 Dakota St. S.E., Prior Lake, Minnesota 55372 / Ph. (612) 4474230 / Fax (612) 447 -4245
RECOMMENDATIONS
The recommen a ion from staff is to approve the sixteen (16) foot
variance on the grounds that a precedent was set in VA 91 -03 with
a twenty nine (29) foot variance. There are no negative impacts
and the application is reasonable given the conditions and the
variance will not result in a deterioration of the general health
and welfare of the community. The Minnesota Department of
Natural Resources received a copy of the application and has no
objections to granting the variance. The hardship in this case
is the inability to enjoy the lake year -round without the
construction of a porch. If the Commission is uncomfortable with
an expansion of the use, then grant the variance with the porch
the same size as the removed deck. Marks on the house and the
footings from deck still exist to provide a reasonably accurate
measure of the deck's size.

SEPTEMBEE 5, 1991
SITE ANALYSIS
HISTORY /BACKGROUND
T Ptanninq Department has received an application from David
Voxland to consider a 3,625 square foot minimum lot area variance
and 1.58 lot coverage variance. See attached materials for
reference to this item. The subject site is one of two lots that
are currently under common ownership. Lots 15, 16 and the west
part of Lot 6, Green Heights have been registered as a unit of
transfer since at least 1962. A cabin, built in 1955 is located
on adjacent Lot 15. The applicant desires to renovate the cabin
on Lot 15 and obtain a lot area variance to build a single family
home on Lot 16.
PREVIOUS PROPOSALS:
Bui 1ng permit records indicate that one permit for a remodel of
the cabin was issued by the City on July 26, 1991. No other
information is available for this site.
PHYSIOGRAPHY•
The subject site is located within a neighborhood that was
subdivided in 1928 into predominantly 50 foot lots. The roads,
drives, walks and waterfront were dedicated to the property
owners within the plat and are privately maintained. The subject
site is a double frontage lot located between Roosevelt Street to
the south and Green Heights Trail to the north. The streets
within this subdivision are not improved and consist of narrow
gravel drives. As such, there are no formal means to control
drainage from lots within this subdivision. The site contains
approximately 15 to 20 feet of relief and slopes from south to
north down toward the lake of Prior Lake. The subject site is
not a Lakeshore property. Surface water drains from the site in
a northerly direction to Green Heights Trail then westerly over
adjacent properties to the lake. The part of Green Heights Trail
adjacent to the subject site has been overlaid with larger
gravel, presumably in an attempt to slow water and to improve the
4629 Dakota St. S.E. Prior lake, Minnewta 55372 / Ph. (612) 447 -4230 / Fax (612) 447 -4245
street surface during wet periods. The site contains one
substantial tree in the center of Lot 16 and several smaller
trees along the lot lines. The substantial tree appears to be
diseased and is being attacked by birds. It appears as though the
tree is dying and regardless of development, may need to be
removed within the next couple of years.
ADJACENT USES:
This sivaion consists of a mixture of cabins and new single
family homes. Clearly, the trend is that older cabins are being
renovated or removed and replaced with single family homes. The
attached map indicates, according to Planning Records, the lots
within the subdivision that are combined properties. It is
evident that there are a mixture of lot sizes as well as home
types within this subdivision. There are only a handful of
vacant lots within the subdivision that could some day be
developed.
NEIGHBORHOOD ISSUES /IMPACT /CONCERNS
The most critical Issues that will impact the neighborhood are
lot drainage, dust control and density of development. As stated
previously, the streets are not improved therefore, there is no
method to control drainage or erosion into the lake. In this
situation, the applicant will need to grade the lot to drain as
best as possible, to the property lines and to the street. The
problem is that there are no control structures once water
reaches the property lines and therefore, lands downstream will
suffer as the water drains more quickly than it currently does.
Drainage and dust problems will only intensify with further
development within this subdivision. The only way to improve the
situation is to install streets, curb and gutter and a propriate
storm drainage systems which should be the ultimate ob3ective of
the City. However, the gravel situation exists, the roads and
drives are privately owned and maintained therefore, it appears
that there will be no resolution of these issues.
PROBLEMS OPPORTUNITIES
T i s p application is difficult for staff to process because there
is a distinct conflict between the objectives of Zoning Code and
actions taken by the Planning Commission and City Council on
previous variances. The situation is that there are two
substandard lots that are owned in common. Records available
through the Scott County Recorder's Office indicate that the
property has been combined for at least 29 years.
The Zoning Code seeks compliance through the combination of
substandard properties to create lot sizes that conform to the
existing requirements. The required lot size for non lake shore
lots within the R -1 Zoning District is 10,000 square feet which
has been the established standard since 1983. The Shoreland
Management Ordinance, adopted in 1987 further required that
substandard lots under common ownership be combined. In all
variance situations, it is the applicant's responsibility to
prove hardship exists and is not created by their actions. In
this case the combined property conforms to all of the lot
requirements of the Ordinance. When divided, through action of
the applicant, a substandard lot results. Staff believes that
the division of the conforming property is the direct result of
the applicant and or owner, not the result of the Ordinance or
City of Prior Lake. Therefore, there is no hardship to grant the
requested variance.
Staff has researched and found that the Planning Commission
and /or City Council have granted lot area variances on eleven
occasions. However, ten variances were granted for individual
lots where there was no opportunity to combine more than one
vacant property. The only similar situation arose with the
Paragon Homes variance where two substandard lakeshore lots
existed however, the lots were not commonly owned. An area
variance was ultimately granted to Paragon Homes for construction
of a single family home. In this case, if the applicant owned _
only Lot 16, staff believes that the Planning Commission would
have no choice but to grant the lot area variance similar to that
granted to Paragon Homes. Unfortunately, that precedent is
established and the City must take it into consideration as well
as the requirements of the Ordinance.
RECOMMENDATION:
The recommenTa from staff, after conferring with the City
Attorney, is to deny the 3,625 square foot lot area variance.
The hardship is created by the applicant for economic gain and is
not the result of actions of the City nor the Ordinance. This
situation is unique because the substandard lots are under common
ownership and the o ortunit exists to develop the pro pert
com liant with re rements o the Or inane. Furt er eta
e levee Mat there are serious ra Wage issues In this
neighborhood due to the lack of improved streets, curb and gutter
and storm sewers. There are no devices in place to accommodate
storm water from the site which will negatively impact other
properties. The property has existed for at least the past 29
years as one unit of transfer. There are approximately thirteen
Properties within Green Heights that consist of a combination of
substandard lots. Development of one home utilizing the combined
lots is not out of character for this neighborhood. The
Shoreland Management Ordinance has been in effect since 1987 and
it is the owners responsibility to comply with laws in existence
at the time of purchase and subsequent development.

PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES
AUGUST 15, 1991
The August 15, 1991 Planning Commission Meeting was called to
order by Acting Chairman Tom Loftus at 7:30 p.m. Those present
were Commissioners Loftus, Kedrowski, Roseth, Wells, City Planner
Graser and Acting Secretary Birch. Chairman Arnold was absent
due to being out of town.

ITEM II - PUBLIC HEARING (CONTINUED) PRELIMINARY PLAT, WOODRIDGE
ESTATES FIRST ADDITION
Acting Chairman Loftus opened the Public Hearing at 7:35 p.m.
Representatives of New Century Construction were present.
Attorney for the applicants, New Century Construction, Tim
Keane, addressed the Commissioners with preliminary comments on
the proposed plat. The applicant was requesting a variance of 90
feet addition to the Oakwood Circle cul -de -sac.
Director of Planning, Horst Graser, discussed the issues to be
resolved before approval of the plat can be initiated.
Discussion occurred on the following issues:
1. Protection of the existing tree cover along the eastern
fringe of the site. The applicant proposed leaving the
grading of each lot to the individual developer.
2. Water frontage and a walking trail around the pond area has
been designated by the city as a public area. There were
some points of disagreement between the applicant and the
city's requirement with regard to placement of the trail, and
the amount of required park land being dedicated adjacent to
the pond. Also included in this issue are portions of Lot 8
and 9, Block 3, which consists of triangular portions of
these lots which the city has indicated should also be part
of the park dedication. Also, the southwest corner of Lot 9
has been staked within 10 feet of the water which Staff has
recommended be adjusted.

PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES AUGUST 15, 1991 PAGE 2
3. Lot size along Mushtown Road, the berm and planting of
evergreen trees as a screen. Extensive discussion occurred
on this issue. The applicant proposed that the lots be a
depth of 135 feet, with tree plantings as specified but with
no berms. Staff is recommending 150 feet lots with berms
and evergreen trees of 6 feet in height, balled and
burlapped. Extensive discussion occurred on this issue.
4. Berming and plantings along 170th Street. Applicant does
propose to construct a berm and questioned the need for tree
planting.
5. Screening between Block 1 and the commercial zone to the
north by the bowling alley was addressed. Applicant did not
offer a solution to Staff's recommendation.
6. Lot 30, Block 2 and Lot 1, Block 12. Grading plan of the
slopes were acceptable to the Commissioners and Staff.
7. Lot 16, Block 4, attached to the rest of the lots in Block 4
and Lots 15 and 16 originally indicated a 65 foot wide trail
and applicant has reduced it to 30 feet. Staff is
recommending that Lot 16 be reduced to 85 feet which would
increase the trail to 40 feet. This was a point of
disagreement between the applicant, Commissioners, and
Staff.
8. The variance request for the 590 foot cul -de -sac on Oakwood
Circle. The Planning Commission and Staff had no objections
to granting a variance for the additional 90 feet as there
would be no detrimental effect to the general health and
welfare of the future residents of Oakwood Circle.
9. Proposed grades for park access north of Horizon Trail. The
applicant proposed that the access be moved to the north of
the two cul -de -sacs. Staff disagreed with this
recommendation.
10. Temporary turnaround outside the plat (Stassen property).
Applicant has agreed to furnish the city with a roadway
easement.
11. Realignment of the common lot line between Lots 3 and 4,
Block 3. Applicant agreed to this.
12. The incomplete screening and planting requirements.
Applicant was directed to furnish a plan regardless of the
grading plan and existing tree cover.
13. Park land dedication. The Planning Commission and Staff
agreed this can be resolved.
14. Engineering concerns with regard to applicant sharing 508 of
the cost for paving 170th Street. The Commissioners agreed
that this should be taken before the Council for their
consideration.
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES AUGUST 15, 1991 PAGE 3
Extensive discussion occurred on items 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 10, and 13.
The applicant requested a special meeting of the Planning
Commission to consider final action on the issues of differences
between New Century Construction and the City_ The Commissioners
concurred and set the date of Thursday, August 22, 1991, at 5:00

The September 5, 1991, Planning Commission Meeting was called to
order by Chairman Arnold at 7:30 P.M. Those present were
Commissioners Loftus, Arnold, Kedrowski, Wells, Roseth, Assistant
City Planner Deb Garross, Associate Planner Sam Lucast, and
Secretary Rita Scheme.
ITEM I - REVIEW MINUTES OF PREVIOUS MEETING

Vote taken signified ayes by Kedrowski, Loftus, Arnold, Wells,

ITEM II - JOAN KUHLMANN - LAKESHORE VARIANCE
George Kazika, 6064 - 150th St. S.E., contractor, represented the
applicant Joan Kuhlmann of 14223 Shady Beach Trail. Mr. Kazika
stated that upon applying for a building permit to replace an
existing deck a variance would be needed as the applicant wished
to build a larger structure.
Sam Lucast presented the information as per memo of September 5,
1991. The applicant is requesting a 16 foot lakeshore variance
to construct a 14 X 14 foot three season porch to replace a 12 X
12 foot deteriorated deck. The house was built in 1969 and
annexed into Prior Lake in 1974. There were no objections from
the DNR. The Planning Commission granted a 29 foot variance to
14120 Orchard Circle in February 1991, which is two lots east of
the subject site. The neighborhood contains several existing
structures that are built at variance to the 904 contour.
Recommendation from Staff is to approve the application based on
the character of the neighborhood and the variance would not
cause a negative impact.
Comments from the Commissioners were on style of deck, location
of steps and sliding door, replacement of tree if removed,
landing platform size, and comments from neighbors.

VARIANCE FOR A THREE SEASON PORCH AT 14223 SHADY BEACH TRAIL WITH
A STAIR CASE AND LANDING NOT TO EXCEED FOUR (4) FEET IN WIDTH
EXTENDED TOWARD THE LAKE. RATIONALE BEING THAT THE SUBJECT SITE
WAS UNDER ANOTHER GOVERNMENT JURISDICTION WHEN BUILT AND THE
VARIANCE WOULD NOT BE DETRIMENTAL TO THE HEALTH AND WELFARE OF
THE NEIGHBORHOOD. THE APPLICATION WOULD NOT BE OUT OF CHARACTER
WITH A PREVIOUSLY GRANTED VARIANCE. THE REPLACEMENT OF A TREE IF
REMOVED, WOULD BE AT THE DISCRETION OF STAFF.
Vote taken signified ayes by Kedrowski, Loftus, Wells, Roseth,
and Arnold. MOTION CARRIED.
Recess called at 8:00 p.m. Reconvened at 8:03 p.m.
ITEM III - DAVID VOXLAND - LOT AREA AND LOT COVERAGE VARIANCE
David Voxland, Box 47361, Plymonth, MN, stated he is requesting a
minimum lot area and coverage variance to build a new home on Lot
16. He was led to believe by a sales agent that lot area
variances were granted routinely, had he known there was a
problem he would have bought only one lot.
Deb Garross presented the information as per memo of September 5,
1991. The subject site is one of two lots that are currently
under common ownership. The applicant desires to remodel the
cabin on Lot 15, and obtain a lot area variance to build a single
family home on Lot 16. The site is located in a neighborhood
that was subdivided in 1928 into predominately 50 foot lots. The
roads, drives, walks and waterfront were dedicated to the
property owners within the plat and are privately maintained.
The most critical issues that will impact the neighborhood are
lot drainage, dust control and density of development.
This application is in conflict with the objectives of the Zoning
Code. After conferring with the City Attorney, it is the staff's
recommendation to deny the 3,625 square foot lot area variance as
the hardship is caused by the applicants actions and not the
actions of the City nor the Ordinance. Staff did not receive any
comments from DNR, therefore they are deemed to have no
objection.
A letter from Gretchen Deiner, 3803 Green Heights Trail,
objecting to the variance was read into the record.
Curt Deiner, 3803 Green Heights Trail, stated that he opposed the
application as it is in violation of the City Ordinance that
requires lot size to be 10,000 square feet and this lot is 6375
square feet, size of the house to the lot would be in violation
of City Code and a large maple tree would have to be destroyed.
Drainage is a problem also.
Gretchen Deiner, 3803 Green Heights Trail, presented a petition
signed by residents on Green Heights Trail and Roosevelt Street
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES SEPTEMBER 5, 1991 PAGE 3
objecting to the construction of a single family home on the
subject lot.
Jerry Benzel, 3780 Green Heights Trail, objected to the
application. Also stated the drainage is a problem.
Carter Narveson, 3845 Green Heights Trail, said that the cabin on
Lot 15 is too old and should be removed and only one home built
on the combined lots.
Vera Benzel, 3780 Green Heights Trail, wanted to affirm want had
been said and that it would a mistake to destroy the tree when a
house could be built on the combined lots without removing it.
Comments from the Commissioners were that the property was
bought under the existing ordinance in July 1991, drainage and
road problems, removal of tree, previous cases and precedent set.
Concurred with Staff's recommendation.
MOTION BY KEDROWSKI, SECOND BY LOFTUS, TO DENY THE VARIANCE
APPLICATION FOR LOT AREA AND LOT COVERAGE VARIANCE FOR 3821 GREEN
HEIGHTS TRAIL, LOT 15, LOT 16 AND PORTION OF LOT 6, GREEN HEIGHTS

THEREFORE 10,000 SQUARE FEET IS REQUIRED AND THE APPLICANT BECAME
THE OWNER IN JULY OF 1991 AND IS SUBJECT TO THE RULES OF THE
ORDINANCE.

BARRY SMITH
2875 CENTER ROAD
SAM LUCAST, ASSOCIATE
YES X NO
SEPTEMBER 19, 1991
CITY PLANNER
HISTORY /BACKGROUND:
The Planning Department received an application for a variance
from Barry Smith of 2875 Center Road, Prior Lake. The
application is for a four (4) foot side yard variance from the
ten (10) foot side yard setback to build a 24' x 26' detached
garage. See attached survey and map for reference to this item.
PREVIOUS PROPOSALS:
The property was enlarged by four hundred (400) square feet in
1990 with the vacation of an alley at the rear property line. A
deck was added to the rear of the house in 1982 and the
original structure constructed in 1978. There are no other
permits on file.
PHYSIOGRAPHY•
The subject site is located in an area platted in the 1920's
containing many lots which are now substandard. The lot contains
about 7500 square feet and measures approximately 50' x 150'
which makes it a substandard lot.
Center Road is an unpaved gravel road sloping to the northwest in
front of the subject site. The rear lot elevation is
approximately 7.5 feet higher than the front. The terrain
generally slopes from the southeast to the northwest. A tall
hedge grows along both the side property lines.
ADJACENT USES:
Single family dwellings and a few vacant lots surround the site.
Almost all of the residences have garages and most of them are
attached to the principal structure. The westerly residence has
no garage. The easterly residence with one and one -half lots
has a detached garage, but most of the rest in the area have
attached garages.
4629 Dakota St. S.E. Prior Lake, Minnesota 55372 / Ph. (612) 447 -4230 / Fax(612)447-42,15
NEIGHBORHOOD ISSUES /IMPACT /CONCERNS:
�e— i 12e o t e o � location of the house on it
present development problems. The house was granted variances on
both side yards without much consideration for the future
placement of a garage. According to the applicant, the neighbors
have no objections to the location of the garage. The Department
of Natural Resources has no comment on the issue. However, the
garage as proposed would dominate the front view of the home from
Center Road.
Policy established by this body states that the lack of a garage
in this climate constitutes a hardship. Greater side and front
yard variances have been granted in the past for front yard
garages on substandard lots. For example, variance 90 -09
granted a five (5) foot side and forty three (43) foot front yard
variance for a detached garage, variance 89 -29 granted a five
foot front and side yard variance for the construction of a
detached garage.
The concern in this case is the architectural and aesthetic
impact of a detached garage dominating a small substandard lot.
PROBLEMS /OPPORTUNITIES:
The ?ppo�ity exists to attach a smaller garage to the
principal structure. However, two windows would have to be
closed on the front of the house, and the steps on the deck
moved to the front. The garage could be lengthened to compensate
for the reduction in width. The end result of having the garage
attached is a vastly improved site plan which should increase the
property value and marketability.
RECOMMENDATION•
The r emotion is difficult to make because of the complex
nature of the situation. In the long run the choice which makes
the most planning sense is to attach the garage to the principal
structure. Initially this option is more expensive than dust
building a detached garage, but is cheaper in the long run and
does not limit principal structure expansion.
When considering a variance, hardship and precedent are an
important consideration. In this situation there is no hardship
associated with the placement of the garage and on those grounds
should be denied. However, variances have been granted to allow
detached garages on substandard lots with emphasis on aesthetics,
architecture, and site organization. Moving the garage out of
the setback area and in front of the home is inconsistent with
good site planning and established precedent.
Staff urges the applicant to carefully consider all points raised
in this report and look past the short term gain for long range
benefits. Staff recommends the Planning Commission approve this
variance.

HISTORY /BACKGROUND
The purpose of this item is to consier four amendments to the
Prior Lake Zoning Code and Ordinance. The proposed language of
each amendment is attached and identified by Exhibit number.
Each exhibit represents a separate ordinance amendment however,
because they are interrelated, one hearing has been scheduled to
consider all four amendments.
Exhibit 1 is an amendment related to substandard lots within the
Shoreland District. Research for this amendment was conducted in
January of 1991 at the direction of the City Council. See
attached staff memo from City Manager Unmacht dated March 4,
1991. The proposed amendment requires that contiguous
substandard lots within the shoreland district be combined if
under common ownership. There is separate language that
discusses single substandard lots and also a process to guide
future subdivision and variance applications for combined
substandard lots. The language was developed by staff with the
assistance of the City Attorney and is based upon results of the
City Council retreat held in April of this year.
Exhibit 2 is an amendment to clarify language that grandfathers
"Lots of Record." The change proposed stipulates that a "Lot of
Record" within the shoreland district is subject to special
conditions identified in Exhibit 1.
Exhibit 3 proposes to delete an existing paragraph in the Zoning
ordinance that is duplicated in the Shoreland section of the
Ordinance. The setback average paragraph of the Shoreland
section contains more specific language and staff feels it
appropriate to delete duplicate paragraph (J) from the Zoning
ordinance.
Exhibit 4 proposes to delete an existing paragraph from the
Shoreland section of the Zoning Ordinance relative to
administrative variances for decks within the Shoreland District.
This provision was found in the State '4odel Ordinance but has
never been utilized by the City of Prior Lake. The City desires
4629 Dakore St. S.E.. Prior Lake, Minnzsota 55372 / Ph. (612) 447 -4230 / Fas (612) 4474245
to review each application for variance in the forum of a
Planning Commission meeting rather than provide administrative
variances. This section has never been utilized by staff,
therefore the recommendation is to delete the paragraph.
A copy of each exhibit has been forwarded to the DNR for review
and comment. Staff will forward the response of the DNR to the
Planning Commission at the public hearing.
RECOMMENDATION:
The recommendation from staff is to approve the ordinance
amendments and to forward them to the City Council for adoption.

AGENDA ITEM: 4
PREPARED BY: DAVID J. UNMACHT, CITY MANAGER
SUBJECT: STAFF PRESENTATION ON SHORELAND
MANAGEMENT RESEARCH
DATE: MARCH 4, 1991
INTRODUCTION: The purpose of this item is to present the
research prepared by staff at Council's direction
on Shoreland Management. A recent variance
application from Paragon Homes resulted in
Council's direction to staff to conduct research
on the interpretation of our ordinance as it
applies to combining substandard lots in the
Shoreland District. Council should be aware that
an additional application is before
staff requiring an interpretation decision again.
Staff would like direction from Council prior to
this matter being acted on by the Planning
Commission and City Council.
BACKGROUND: On January 4, 1991, Mayor Andren received a
letter from the DNR (copy was provided to you)
regarding the City's need to re- evaluate our
Shoreland Management Ordinance prior to January,
1993. On February 19, 1991 City Council approved
a Shoreland Management Grant application which
was forwarded to the DNR on February 22, 1991.
Enclosed is a copy of a letter to the
DNR.... please note paragraph 2 which talks about
staff's intent to make decisions with respect to
our review process beginning in June.
Subsequently, the point of this issue is to
provide direction to staff only on interpretation
of the common ownership section of the Shoreland
Management Ordinance.
DISCUSSION: Staff's research is presented in a memo from
Director of Planning, Horst Graser. The memo is
broken down into the following categories:
history, definition of issue, application, impact
and recommendation. Of most importance is the
information contained in the application section
which discusses the number of impacted lots and a
comparison of other communities. The issue in
essence is: does the Council want to continue
with the existing interpretation until such time
4629 Dakota St. SE, Prior take, Minnesota 55372 / Ph. (612) 4474230 / Fax (612) 447 -4245
An Equul opportunity /Affimiatiue Action Employer
that the Shoreland Management Ordinance is
amended? Staff is reviewing the new rules and has
talked with the DNR. Indications are that they
will be requesting us to change our
interpretation of this section of our ordinance.
Pat Lynch, Area Hydrologist, will be in
attendance representing the DNR staff.
our current interpretation and resulting variance
procedure is a contentious process with the
public. With few exceptions, our experience has
been for objections to occur either at the
applicant, or at the neighborhood level. These
issues have and will probably continue to come
before the City Council for a ruling and a
verification of your interpretation of this
provision.
ALTERNATIVES: The alternatives are as follows:
1. Take no action and continue with your existing
interpretation of the common ownership
provision of the ordinance.
2. Direct staff to interpret the ordinance
consistent with the revised intent of the
DNR's rules and regulations.
3. Do not take any action on this issue and
continue to review the interpretation on a
case by case basis.
4. Direct staff to conduct further research on
the matter prior to taking any action.
RECOMMENDATION: This is a difficult decision for staff to develop
a conclusion on. Staff can appreciate both sides
of the issue in this respect: 1) The
recognition of need for this action on behalf of
the DNR, yet it is difficult to quantify in Prior
Lake's case the positive aspects of the DNR's
action on a short and long term basis. 2) We
can understand both the potential positive and
negative reactions from our community residents
on the change in interpretation. So what do we
do? Given the assumption that sometime between
now and January 1993 we face DNR pressure to
change our interpretation, our leaning is toward
changing the interpretation now as opposed to
later. Council may want to seek input from Lynch
on the DNR's position and if there is any areas
of discussion and /or compromise on this
interpretation issue. Staff can manage this
interpretation in either direction that the
Council provides.
ACTION: Action will depend on Council discussion and
direction.

TO: DAVE UNMACHT, CITY MANAGER
FROM: HORST GRASER, DIRECTOR OF PLANNING
RE: ISSUES RELATIVE TO COMBINING SUBSTANDARDS
LOTS IN THE SHORELAND DISTRICT
DATE: FEBRUARY 15, 1991
HISTORY:
In May of 1987, Prior Lake passed the Shoreland Management
Ordinance substantially increasing the standards for shoreland
development. The adoption of the Shoreland Management Ordinance
(SMO) was mandated by the DNR who also developed the standards
for the model ordinance. All communities and counties in
Minnesota were or will be required to adopt DNR shoreland
regulations.
we can view this mandating shoreland program as an indication of
land management involvement for the DNR. Prior to 1980 the DNR
was primarily involved in providing access to natural resources
and managing wildlife systems. Today this position has been
elevated to an active management program of our resources.
Apparently the DNR is of the opinion that a proactive position is
necessary to manage the state's resources since cities and
counties have failed to do so. Indications are that the DNR's
new role in land use management to protect water quality will
continue to grow and expand to other resources as well.
The lakeshore management regulations are essentially zoning
restrictions which have their basis and foundation in
hydrological modeling. These standards vary based on the
category of lake. Local communities are then asked to adopt
them. It must be kept in mind that prior to this point in time
local governments have had little or no input. In most cases the
state shoreland zoning standards exceed local land use
regulations. Any time higher land use standards are adopted,
many previously permitted uses are relegated to legal non
conforming uses. In short, the actions of society lag
significantly behind the events that caused the perceived
problem.
DEFINITION OF ISSUE:
The issue this memorandum explores is whether two or more

of the neighbors objected to the
on the idea that the two contiguous

coo small a building envelope.
The direction for this memorandum was one of the outcomes of this
variance hearing. The Council wanted to explore a stricter
interpretation for developing substandard lots of record. A
stricter interpretation would require a group of two or more
contiguous substandard lots under the same ownership to be
combined with one or more contiguous lots so they equal one or
more parcels of land each meeting the requirements of the zoning
ordinance as much as possible.
APPLICATION:
In December of 1990 the Planning Department conducted research to
determine the number and location of two or more substandard lots
of record under common ownership in the shoreland management
district. The results were unexpected.
Total number of lakeshore properties
with at least two substandard lots
of record under one ownership. 117
Total number of non lakeshore properties
with at least two substandard lots of
record under one ownership. 83
Total number of lakeshore properties
with a combination of lakeshore and
non lakeshore lots of record under one
ownership
Total: 207
Of the 207 properties that would be affected by the application
of a stricter standard only 22 have not been developed. The
undeveloped properties are not concentrated in any one
neighborhood but are spread throughout the shoreland district.
There may be other considerations which would prevent separation
of the 22 vacant lot combinations, such as topography or unusual
lot dimensions. However, those types of factors were not
researched. Of the 22 vacant lots, 9 were lakeshore lot
combinations.
One hundred eighty five properties of the 207 are developed with
structures ranging from new homes to old cabins. If the
structure is removed or demolished from a combination property
than each lot could be developed separately. Time did not permit
us to define this group of combination properties to determine
the potential number of splits. These combination properties
have the following characteristics:
1. "Nestegg Concept" where one or more lots in a homestead
situation is held for sale or investment.
2. Properties are combined to form a lot that is developed
with a newer home that because of the sizable investment
cannot be removed.
3. Properties that have older homes which may straddle
property lines but are candidates for future demolition
as circumstances present themselves.
4. Properties that are developed with cabins or summer
homes of various ages and structural integrity. These
structures may be easily demolished or moved to the
adjacent lot in anticipation of a sale.
Demolition or removal of older structures is going to occur more
frequently as vacant lakeshore decreases and the value of
lakeshore increases. In the last 5 years Prior Lake has issued
26 demolition permits to lakeshore properties.
Scenarios 1 -3 above were difficult to quantify without extensive
research and field checks. However, scenario 4 above, was
quantified using building permits and year built information
which was available in the Prior Lake computer data base and the
least costly method of research. Of the 185 combination
properties, 39 structures were built prior to 1950. Seventeen of
the 39 structures were built prior to 1940. This study assumes
(not verified by field checks) that these are cabins perhaps
subject to demolition. Of the 17 structures before 1940, 11 are
located on lakeshore properties. Most of these structures are
located in Inguadona Beach, Red Oaks, and Point Beautiful
subdivisions.
Of relevance and importance is that 14 combination properties out
of the 185 have structures on them but no building permit record
exists either in Prior Lake City Hall or Scott County. We can
assume that these properties are extremely old and may be subject
to demolition.
Other communities in the metropolitan area have also been
struggling with substandard lots. This study solicited
information from some of these communities to serve as a base of
comparison for possible action. Every community that was
solicited has dealt with or is about to address substandard lots.
A most interesting result was that, with the exception of
Plymonth, the smallest lakeshore lot size in any of the
communities surveyed was 20,000 square feet and the largest was
60,000 square feet. Prior Lake's current lot size is 15,000
square feet.
In the City of Minnetonka, the minimum lot size is 22,000 square
feet with no vacant lakeshore lots. They consider substandard
lots to be between 22,000 and 15,000 squaw feet and be buildable
with variances. Anything smaller does not receive variances.
The City of Chanhassen has a 20,000 square foot minimum lot size.
Their substandard lots must be at least 75% of the current
standard otherwise they are not buildable.
In the City of Orono, the minimum lakeshore lot size is 1/2 acre.
It is their policy to combine substandard lots by not granting
any variances.
The lot size in the City of Deephaven range from 20,000 to 60,000
square feet. They have not adopted shoreland regulations and
encourage substandard lots to be combined. Variances are not
issued to substandard lots.
The Cities of White Bear Lake and Wayzata have adopted shoreland
regulations and interpret them similar to Prior Lake.
The City of Shorewood has a minimum lakeshore lot size of 40,000
square feet. In order for a lot to be buildable it must be at
least 70% of the size and width of the current requirements or it
is not buildable.
The City of Plymonth has adopted shoreland regulations with a
minimum lakeshore lot size of 15,000 square feet. This community
has adopted provisions for combining substandard lakeshore lots
under one ownership.
Paramount to any action relative to substandard lots is the legal
issue of "taking ". Sherri Ulland, Attorney with Lommen, Nelson,
Cole i Stageberg P.A., researched the "taking" issue. She
concluded that there would be no "taking" since the owners of all
substandard lots will not be deprived of all reasonable use of
their property if they are forced to combine their lots.
Further, she states, that owners will not be able to show a
substantial diminution in value because the property can still be
sold or developed as long as it is combined with one or more
contiguous lots. (memorandum from Sherri Ulland, January 28,
1991).
Of equal importance on the issue of "taking" is a 1988 court case
in Hennepin County. The City of Shorewood in 1985 enacted a
zoning code change that established an absolute minimum buildable
lot size which is 70% of the current 40,000 square foot standard
or 28,000 square foot. The plaintiffs have owned a vacant 50
foot lakeshore lot (10,950 square foot in area) since 1956, at
which time it was buildable. In 1986 the plaintiffs were denied
a building permit by the Planning Commission and City Council.
The court ruled as follows:
The Court is compelled to the conclusion that there
has been no taking because plaintiffs still enjoy a
reasonable use of their property, the use to
which the property has been put for the last 30
years - swimming, boat storage and dockage, and
access to the lake. Nothing in the zoning
ordinance prevents plaintiffs from using their
property for the above purposes. Continuation of a
present use is a reasonable use even if it may not
be the most profitable use.
IMPACT:
It is impossible for this study to attempt to measure the impact
these alternatives will have on the problem. Perhaps in the
absence of quantifiable data, decision makers must look at these
alternatives in an abstract way.
The DNR has defined and delineated in a comprehensive way sources
of pollution. Inappropriate land use practices are but a part
of the water quality problem. Based on their knowledge, testing,
and expertise, they have concluded that a stricter land use
practice such as larger lakeshore lots is a positive water
quality management tool.
Earlier in this text it was stated that 207 combination
properties exist in the Prior Lake Shoreland District. One
hundred seventeen of these are lakeshore properties.
Theoretically the current zoning code would allow an additional
207 homes to be build, 117 of those could be built on substandard
Lakeshore lots. A vast majority of the substandard lakeshore
lots are 50 foot wide and between 7000 to 10,000 square feet in
area. Most of the other cities surveyed do not issue building
permits to lots of that size.
Several months ago, Prior Lake received official notice that
within two years the DNR's latest shoreland regulations must be
adopted. One of the components of the new regulations is the
requirement that substandard lakeshore properties must be
combined. This DNR undertaking has been predictable since local
jurisdictions and their disinterested experts have found little
relevance in strengthening the bond with other governments _3
collaborate in overcoming uncertainties.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff is inclined to seek whatever remedy is available
immediately. Water is a common and shared resource to our
community. Its value is being threatened along with the security
of common and mutual goals. This threat is not an idle one and
should be dealt with as quickly as possible so it does not
shackle the potential of this community.

PLANNING REPORT
SUBJECT: HOME OCCUPATION PERMIT
APPLICANT: GABRIELE FRANKLIN
SITE ADDRESS: 15220 EAGLE CREEK AVE
PRESENTER: SAM LUCAST, ASSOCIATE PLANNER
PUBLIC HEARING: YES XNO
DATE: SEPTEMBER 19, 1991
INTRODUCTION•
On Septe r 9, 1991, Gabriele Franklin submitted an application
for a Home occupation permit. Ms. Franklin and her husband
Andrew, currently manufacture beaded earrings, hand made jewelry,
and artwork. She sells jewelry to co- workers at three hospitals
where she is a Registered Nurse, at craft sales, and to shops in
Alaska by mail order.
DEVELOPMENT ISSUES
The Franklin's reside on a wooded 2 1/2 acre lot with direct
access to County Road 21. The parcel is zoned A -1 Agricultural.
The Prior Lake Comprehensive Plan projected land use for the area
is R -1 Urban Residential in the 2010 Urban Service Area. This
means in the future the area will be developed into single family
residential homes and other permitted and conditional uses.
STAFF ANALYSIS
Perhaps the most significant aspect of a home occupation is the
impact on the immediate area. Traffic generated, safety,
Marking, hours of use, and effects of the occupation itself are
Important criteria when considering the application. Althoucjh
the applicant currently resides on the edge of development, this
will not always be the case.
The lot is wooded and the driveway is difficult to see for the
first time visitor. County Road 21 is a two lane highway with
speeds of 50 miles per hour or more. Ms. Franklin is requesting
a sign to help locate the premises.
The sale of the goods would occur in a 14' x 20' accessory
structure (the former Prior Lake train depot), and manufacture
presumably in the principal structure.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Typzca y grante ome occup ations are those of a professional or
__rvice ^attire. They usually involve business conducted off site
or occasional visits on site. The potential for growth beyond an
occasional patron or friend to purchase goods is likely. Retail
establishments depend on a high traffic volume to succeed. Home
Occupations which generate a high volume of traffic destroy the
residential character of neighborhoods and are discouraged.
The retail aspect of the application is not consistent with the
intent of the Home Occupation. The manufacture of the jewelry and
artwork is acceptable in this case, but not the retail sale in
the A -1 Agricultural District. Staff recommends approval of the
manufacturing portion of the permit as it currently exists.
Staff further recommends denial of the retail portion and
suggests that distribution be limited to wholesaling, mail order
or direct retail for off site locations.
