Those present were Commissioners Wells, Roseth, Loftus, Arnold, Kedrowski, Assistant City Planner Deb Garross, Associate Planner Gary Schmitz, and Recording Secretary Rita Schewe. ITEM I - REVIEW MINU OF PREVIOUS MEETING MOTION BY ARNOLD, SECOND BY WELLS, TO APPROVE THE MINUTES AS WRITTEN. Vote taken signified ayes by Kedrowski, Arnold, Roseth, Wells and Loftus. MOTION CARRIED. ITEM II - LAKESHORE VARIANCE - ROGER BREISCH Roger Brei:ch, 14330 Rutgers Street, presented his request for a 42' lakeshre variance in order to construct a 2 tier deck on his property. Gary Schmitz presented the information as per memo of March 15, 1990. Staff recognizes the desirability for a Lakeshore owner to have a deck to fully enjoy the lake, however, the need for a 2 tier deck is questionable. Staff's recommendation is that a maximum 36' Lakeshore variance be granted which would allow the applicant sufficient area to construct the upper deck. A letter from Pat Lynch of the DNR was read into the record stating their objections to the design of the decks and the variance requested. Mark Hyland, 14399 Watersedge, felt the letter from the DNR was unfair and the variance should be granted. Comments from the Commissioners were on the design of the decks, other options should be explored, and the amount of the variance should not exceed 508 as this is the procedure for an older neighborhood. MOTION BY ARNOLD, SECOND BY LOFTUS, TO APPROVE A 37 1/2 FOOT LAKESHORE VARIANCE FOR 14330 RUTGERS STREET TO CONSTRUCT A DECK. THIS IS CONSISTENT WITH THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND WOULD NOT BE DETRIMENTAL TO THE HEALTH AND WELFARE OF THE COMMUNITY. Vote taken signified ayes by Roseth, Wells, Kedrowski, Arnold and Loftus. MOTION CARRIED. ITEM III - LOT AREA VARIANCE - MARVIN DEUTSCH Wayne Efta, 1995 Panama Ave. Prior Lake, representing Marvin Deutsch Construction, stated that they are requesting a lot area variance of 1,950.2 square feet for Lot 31, Boudlns Manor, address of 14425 Watersedge Trail to construct a new home. 4629 Dakota St. S.E., Prior Lake, Minnesota 55372 / Ph.

The applicant has endeavored to design a home that would not require additional variances. DNR has no objections to the application. Hardship has been caused by the ordinance and not the property owner. Staff recommendation is to approve the 1,950.2 square foot minimum lot variance as requested. Mark Hyland, 14399 Watersedge Trail, felt the lot should be combined with the adjoining lot and is against the variance. Sharon Gronhol2, 14412 Watersedge Trail NE, against variance, also felt applicant should not have hauled in fill before variance was heard. Dave Moran, 14408 Watersedge Trail, did not feel that there is a hardship and was against the variance. Beverly Halleckson, 14433 Watersedge Trail, is in favor of the house being built if it was built on two lots and is concerned on the drainage. Claude Christian, 11100 Twin Ave. Bloomington, owner of Lot 31, has been paying taxes through the years and if the prospective buyer of this lot is denied the variance, he feels he will have to sue the City. Randy Kubes, 5284 Eagle Creek Blvd. Shakopee, Attorney for Mr. Christian, stated his client now wishes to sell the lot for retirement income and the adjoining lot was unable to be sold to the applicant. Mr. Efta stated they do have a excavating permit. Ms. Garross suggested that perhaps the Engineering Department could review neighborhood drainage problems to determine how drainage could be .improved. The builder has submitted a drainage plan for Lot 31 which was approved by the Engineering Department. Comments from the Commissioners were; Lots 31 6 32 are lots of record, set conditions for the builder on landscaping, and drainage. The Commissioners also discussed architectural design requirements and suggested taht the existing code be reviewed. MOTION BY KEDROWSKI, SECOND BY ROSETH, TO APPROVE 1,950.2 SQUARE FOOT MINIMUM LOT AREA VARIANCE FOR LOT 31, BOUDINOS MANOR, RATIONALE BEING THAT THE LOT IS A LOT OF RECORD AND THE HARDSHIP IS CAUSED BY THE ORDINANCE AND NOT THE APPLICANT. RECOMMENDATION THAT LANDSCAPING AND TREE PLANTING GUIDE REQUIREMENTS OF THE PRIOR LAKE SUBDIVISION ORDINANCE BE APPLIED TO THIS LOT AS A CONDITION OF VARIANCE APPROVAL. THE REQUIREMENTS ARE THAT THE FRONT AND SIDE YARDS BE SODDED AND TWO TREES BE PLANTED IN THE FRONT YARD.

The site is part of the plat of Lakeside Park which was subdivided in 1921. The area was annexed from Spring Lake Townsite and incorporated into the City of Prior Lake in 1973. Previous Pro osals: T e ome on s site was built under the jurisdiction of the City of Prior Lake in 1975. There have been five building permits issued to the site for various alterations, porch and deck additions. T e p a o Lakeside Park is virtually fully developed with a mixture of single family homes and cabins which date from the 1930's to new construction. The lots adjacent to the subject site are developed with single family homes. The site to the north contains approximately 9,900 square feet. The year built of the structure is 1930 and a the site has been granted two side yard variances in 1983 and 1988 for a house addition and garage. The house to the south was constructed in 1977 and received side yard variances from the 15 side yard setback requirement which was in place at that time. Deyelo ment Summar T e sub ec size contains approximately 16,000 square feet and is about 80' wide. The property is zoned R -1 Urban Residential and S -D Shoreland District. The required side yard setback is 10 feet. The coverage ratio with the proposed garage addition would be 17.5• percent. 4629 Dakota St. SE., Prior Lake, Minnesota 55372 / Ph. (612) 4474230 / Fax(612)447-4245 DEVELOPMENT ANALYSIS Planning Considerations: The proposal is to construct a 9 x 35 foot garage addition to the southerly side of an existing home. The variance requested is a five foot south side yard variance. There are no trees which will be affected by the addition. Staff has reviewed this proposal in terms of the four variance standards found in the Zoning Ordinance. The addition of a third garage stall would not appear to be consistent with the hardship tests which have been historically applied by the Planning Commission. The Commission has tended to grant variances for garage additions in instances where there is no garage and /or on narrow, substandard lots. In this case, the applicant has a large lot with a home that has been designed and situated in such a way which limits the ability to add a garage without variance. Staff Recommendation: The recommendation from staff is to deny the variance, based on the literal iacerpretation of the Zoning ordinance and precedence of the Commission to deny variances which are caused by poorly designed structures. However, staff does recognize that the neighborhood is developed with structures that are at variance with setback standards. If it is the decision of the Planning Commission to grant the variance, specific hardship findings related to this application should be documented in order to preclude setting precedence for future applications.

PURPOSE OF HEARING To consider a variance application for Joel Pietig of 16084 Eagle Creek Avenue. SUBJECT SITE LOCATION Part of Lots 47 and 48, Lakeside Park. REQUESTED ACTION The applicant wishes to construct a 9 x 35 foot garage addition to the southerly side of an existing home. The required side yard setback is 10 feet.

(612) 4474230 / Fax (612) 447 -4245 CENSUS "90 PLANNING REPORT APPLICANT: EILEEN BJORNSON ITEM: 5' WEST SIDE YARD VARIANCE PRESENTER: DEB GARROSS, ASSISTANT CITY PLANNER PUBLIC HEARING: YES X NO DATE: APRIL 5, 1990 SITE ANALYSIS History /Backgroun The T ect site is located at 4160 Pleasant Street d is legally described as the west 25' of Lot 5 and the eas _3' of Lot 6, Block 2, Lakeside Gardens. The area was platted in 1926 and this parcel was administratively divided into the current legal description in 1988. Previous Pro osals: TTie ome on t is site was constructed in 1988 and there have been no previous proposals for the site with the exception of the 1988 administrative plat process. Ad'acent Uses: T e a 7acen lots are developed with single family homes. Develo gent Summary: T e s e contains 9,000 square feet and is approximately 60 feet wide. The property is zoned R -1 Urban Residential and S -D Shoreland District. The required setbacks are 25' front and rear yard and 10' side yard setbacks. The coverage ratio with the proposed deck would be 188 percent. DEVELOPMENT ANALYSIS Plannin Considerations: The propose is to construct a 19 x 22 foot deck addition to the northerly side of the home. The variance requested is a five foot west side yard variance to accommodate a wrap around deck. The deck will be accessed b a sliding glass door which is located on the north side of the single family home. There are no trees or shrubs which would be disturbed by construction of the proposed deck. 4629 Dakota St. S.E., Prior lake, Minnesota 55372 / Ph. (612) 4474230 / Fax (612) 4474245 Staff has reviewed this proposal in terms of the four variance standards found in the Zoning Ordinance. It is the opinion of staff that the same size deck could be built without requiring a variance by simply shifting the deck five feet to the east and removing the wrap around section. The deck will be accessed via the north sliding glass door and steps which are proposed for the east side of the deck. The wrap around section appears to serve aesthetic rather than functional purposes. Staff Recommendation: Staff is unable to find hardship in this case to substantiate granting a variance to the site because the opportunity exists for a deck to be built compliant with all setback standards which would allow the property owner to enjoy the rear yard environment and yet, observe the spirit of the Zoning Ordinance. The recommendation from staff is to deny the five foot west side yard variance due to lack of demonstrated hardship.

Fairview Beach Addition was platted in 1926 and annexed into the City of Prior Lake in 1975. Previous Pro osals: T e ome on is of was built in 1979 under the jurisdiction of the City of Prior Lake. Physiography There as approximately 14 feet of relief from the bituminous surface of County Road 81 to the northerly property line of Lot 25. The home and garage have been situated on the lot so that the entrance to the garage is on the westerly side of the home. The property owner must utilize part of adjacent Lot 24 in order to maneuver a vehicle to park in the garage. Adjacent Uses This subdivision is fully developed with single family homes and cabins. The homes on Lots 24 and 25 were designed to use a common driveway to enter each respective garage. The owner of Lot 24 was able to relocate the garage door to the southerly side of the home and create a better driveway situation. The topography on Lot 25 prohibits Mr. King from being able to relocate his garage door to the southerly side of the garage. 4629 Dakota St. SE., Prior Lake, Minnesota 55372 / Ph. (612) 4474230 / Fax(612)4474245 Problems /Opportunities T e purpose of the variance application is to consider a 5 foot front yard variance from the northerly property line. It is the desire of Mr. King to create a better driveway situation by building a tuck under garage which accesses Fairview Road. The existing garage would then be converted to living space. Development Summary The subject site contains 6,093 square feet and is approximately 50 feet wide by 122 feet deep. The lot is zoned R -1 Urban Residential and is located within the S -D Shoreland District. The required front yard setback is 25 feet. The building coverage with the proposed addition is 28 %. The maximum coverage ratio In the Shoreland District is 30 %. DEVELOPMENT ANALYSIS Planning Considerations Staff has no objection to the addition as proposed. Building Official, Gary Staber has discussed the structural considerations with the applicant and the proposal is feasible and can be built as per requirements of the Building Code. The proposal is positive from a planning perspective because it removes one access from a County Road and creates a better access plan for the home. Staff would recommend that as much of the bituminous driveway be removed as possible in order to discourage any future access from County Road 81. However, the driveway was installed over the common property line of two lots and staff recognizes that there may be a common agreement between property owners for use of the driveway. From a staff perspective, it would be desirable to completely remove the access and all bituminous material however, such action would require permission from the property owner of Lot 24. Recommendation The recommendation from staff is to approve the 5 foot front yard variance from the northerly property line of Lot 25, Fairview Beach. The variance observes the spirit and intent of the ordinance and would not be contrary to the public interest. The change of access location to the property due to the addition is in the public interest because it reduces direct access to a County Road. The applicant should be made aware that the change in access will also necessitate that the address be changed from a Sunset Trail to a Fairview Road address. A hardship exists due to the topography of the lot which is unique to the subject site. The small lot size was created by plat, in 1926 under the jurisdiction of the Scott County Board of Commissioners and is a hardship which is not the result of actions of the applicant.

RE: BRIGHT, KING, & LEONARD VARIANCE REQUESTS, SPRING LAKE & PRIOR LAKE, CITY OF PRIOR LAKE, SCOTT COUNTY Thanks for forwarding copies of the subject variance requests. I've had an opportunity to review all three, and offer the following comments: Bright Variance I have no problem with this request, since the proposed construction does not encroach any closer to Spring Lake than the existing structure. The resultant 25% impervious surface should not present a problem, as there is adequate buffering between the existing structure and the lake. King Variance Here, too, I have no problem with the request, although with such a small lot, it will result in E crowded look. The impervious surface of roughly 48% is a bit much, but since this is not a lakefront lot, I'm not so concerned. Leonard Variance No problems with the administrative division proposed. New construction on Tract B should be designed to meet existing shoreland development standards. Thanks for the opportunity to review and comment.

PURPOSE OF HEARING: To consider a variance application for Daniel King of 17414 Sunset Trail. SUBJECT SITE: Lot 25, Fairview Beach REQUESTED ACTION: The applicant wishes to construct an addition to the northerly side of his existing home. The addition is proposed to be a tuck under garage and will be located as per attached survey. The required front yard setback is 25 feet. The proposal is to locate the addition 20 feet from the northerly property line which would require that a 5' foot front yard variance be granted by the Prior Lake Planning Commission. If you desire to be heard in reference to this matter, you should attend this meeting. Oral and written comments will be accepted by the Planning Commission. For more information, contact the Prior Lake Planning Department at 447 -4230. Prior Lake Planning Commission April 11, 1990 4629 Dakota St. SE., Prior Lake, Minnesota 55372 / Ph.

Sunset Shore was platted in 1927 and annexed into the City of Prior Lake in 1975. Previous Pro osals: Informat on on file with Scott County indicates that the home on Lot 4, Sunset Shore was built in 1930. Adiacer, Uses: The pl of Sunset Shore is fully developed with the exception of adjacer Lot 3 which is owned by the City of Prior Lake. Lot 3 contains a storm sewer culvert which bisects the .property and it is proposed that the lot become part of the Park system for the City. The neighborhood contains a mixture of cabins, renovated structures and new single family homes. Problems /Opportunities The purpose of the variance application is to consider a 5' south side yard and 43 foot front yard variance from the centerline of County Road 81. It is the desire of Mr. Bright to construct a 21 x 24 foot detached garage on the easterly side of his property. Lot 4 is approximately 50 feet wide which restricts driveway opportunities for the site. It is necessary to have at least twenty feet of driveway in order to park a vehicle adjacent to the garage. The proposed location is the only site which will accommodate an adequate driveway and parking space. 4629 Dakota S:. SE., Prior lake, Minnesota 55372 / Ph. (612( 44714230 / Fax (612) 447-4245 Development Summa T e subject site contains 7,817 square feet and is approximately 50 wide by 160 feet deep. The lot is zoned R -1 and is in the S -D Shoreland District. The required front yard setback is 85 feet measured from the centerline of County Road 81. The required side yard setback is 10 feet. The building coverage with the proposed garage addition will be 228. DEVELOPMENT ANALYSIS Planning Considerations Staff has no objection to the proposed garage location. The applicant owns a substandard lot in a neighborhood where there is an established building pattern whereby structures are located very close to the front property line. The variance observes the spirit and intent of the Ordinance and would not be contrary to the public interest. The small lot size was created in 1931, under the jurisdiction of the Scott County Board of Commissioners and is a hardship which is not the result of actions of the applicant. Furthermore, the Planning Commission has granted similar variances for garages on substandard lots in cases where no garage is located on the property. PREPARED FOR.

(612) 4474230 1 Fax (612) 4474245 ° ZONCOD" ITEM: PRESENTER: PUBLIC HEARING: DATE: PLANNING REPORT ZONING CODE AMENDMENTS HORST GRASER, DIRECTOR OF PLANNING X YES NO APRIL 19, 1990 SITE ANALYSIS History /Background The principal purpose of these amendments is to keep the Prior Lake Zoning Ordinance current and to serve and protect the investments of the public. Most of these amendments came before the Planning Commission in June of 1989, in addition to several others that inspired considerable discussion. At the Council level the discussion was prolonged because of a few controversial issues. Since the first hearing was quite some time ago, Staff decided to republish the hearing notice and eliminate the possibility of legal complications. A brief description and analysis of each amendment follows: AMENDMENT NO. 1: The objective is to make public parking lots a conditional use in R1 -Rd residential districts. This came up when the DNR wanted to develop a parking lot at their DeWitte access. The principle issue for this use is control over its installment. A public parking lot that is built in a residential zone must be well designed, landscaped, and maintained. It is a use that is seldom built but needed nevertheless. AMENDMENT NO. 2: The amendment should read "Nursery school and day care centers for less than 12 children instead of more than 12 children ". This amendment brings Prior Lake into complianca with State law. AMENDMENT NO. 3: This amendment would add nurseries as a permitted use in C -1 conservation zones. My rational for this amendment is that C -1 and A -1 zones should be treated similar. The purpose of both 4629 Dakota St. SE., Prior lake, Minnesota 55372 / Ph. (612) 4474230 / Fax(612)447-4245 zones is to provide a holding zone for urban development. The intent of C -1 zones are to identify and protect natural features. The ordinance serves this objective by reducing the permitted uses and increasing the residential lot size but reducing the lot size for all other uses. In short, the uses or zoning designation cannot protect natural features. Nurseries are permitted in A -1 zones and therefore should also be permitted in the similar C -1 zone. AMENDMENT NO. 4: This amendment would increase the size of accessory structures from 800 square feet to 832 square feet. A number of builders have requested this amendment. A desirable three stall garage is 26X32. The State of Minnesota uses 832 square feet in their legislation pertaining to accessory structures. AMENDMENT NO.5: The focus of this amendment is to make the minimum residential lot size in both A -1 and C -1 districts 2.5 acres by adding residential use in the C -1 zone. Gary Staber, Prior Lake Building Official, feels strongly that the current 1 acre lot size in A -1 districts is too small for adequate on -site sewage treatment options. The minimum lot size in the C -1 district is currently 10 acres for all uses. Because the districts serve the same purpose, it is recommended that a consistent and confirm lot size of 2.5 acres be established for all C -1 and A -1 zones with a minimum width of 150 feet. AMENDMENTS NO'S 6 and 7: These are housekeeping items. Staff has an administrative policy of requiring name searches from a certified abstract company for many years. Establishing this policy in advance in ordinance forum increases its validity and confirms Staff policy and operating procedure. AMENDMENT NO. 8: This amendment would add the word "principle" after the first word in the second sentence. The ordinance allows setback averages in some situations but is not clear what structures are to be used as the basis for determining the average. NOTICE OF ZONING ORDINANCE AMENDMENT Notice is hereby given that the Prior Lake Planning Commission will conduct a Pudic Hearing on the 19th day of April, 1990, at 8:00 P.M. in the C - ty Council Chambers at 4629 Dakota Street S .E. The purpose of this hearing is to consider amendments to the Prior Lake Zoning ( -rdinance and City Code as follows: AMENDMENT NO. 1: Section 3.2 of Prior Lake Zoning Ordinance No. 83 -6 and Section 5 -3 -3 of the Prior Lake City Code is proposed to be amended to include public pa -king lots as a conditional use in R -1 Urban Residential, R -2 Urban Residential, R -3 Multiple Residential, and R -4 Mixed Code Resicential Districts. AMENDMENT NO. 2: Section 3.2 of the Prior Lake Zoning Ordinance No.83 -6 and Section 5 -3 -3 of the Prior Lake City Code is proposed to be amended by adding "Nursery Schools and day care centers for more than twelve (12) children ", as a permitted use in the R -1 Urban Residential District. AMENDMENT NO. :. Section 3.2 of the Prior Lake Zoning Ordinance No. 83 -6 and Section 5 -3 -3 of the Prior Lake City Code is proposed to be amended to include "Nurseries" as a permitted use in the C -1 Conservation District AMENDMENT NO. 4: Section 6.2A(3) of the Prior Lake Zoning Ordinance No. 83 -6 and Section 5- 5- 2:(A)3 of the City Code is proposed to be amended increasing the size for accessory structures from eight hundred (800) square feet to eight hundred thirty two (832) square feet. AMENDMENT NO. 5: Section 4.2 of the Prior Lake Zoning Ordinance No. 83 -6 and Section 5 -4 -1 Lot and Yard Requirements of the City Code is proposed to be amended by adding the classification of residential under C -1 Conservation; by adding 2.5 acres for Residential Uses under Minimum Lot Size in Conservation Districts; by adding 150 feet under Width for residential uses in Conservation Districts. The minimum lot size in A -1 Agricultural Districts is proposed to be increased from one (1) acre to 2.5 acres. 4629 Dakota St. S.E., Prior Lake Minnesota 55372 / Ph. (612) 4474230 / Fax (612) 4474245 AMENDMENT NO. 6: Section 7.5A of the Prior Lake Zoning Ordinance No.83 -6 and Section 5- 6 -5(A) of the Prior Lake City Code are proposed to be amended by addling the following paragraph: 4. The names and addresses of all property owners within five hundred (500) feet shall be provided from a certified abstract company so that the Zoning Officer may provide notification of the conditional use permit. AMENDMENT NO. 7: Section 7.6A(1) of the Prior Lake Zoning Ordinance No. 83 -6 and Section 5- 6 -6(A)l of Prior Lake City Code are proposed to be amended to require an applicant for a variance to submit property owners within one hundred (100) feet of the boundaries of the variance site that are certified by an abstract company. AMENDMENT NO. 8: Section 4.1J of Prior Lake Zoning Ordinance No.83 -6 and Section 5- 4 -1(J) of the Prior Lake City Code are proposed to be amended to add the word "principle" after the first word in the second sentence of paragraph J. The second sentence would read as follows: "Where principle structures on adjacent lots have yard setbacks different from these requirements, the minimum setback from the lake shall be the average setback of such adjacent structures to a minimum of fifty (50) feet. Anyone interested in this matter should plan to attend this public hearing. The Planning Commission vi accept oral or written comments. Horst N.
