PLANNING COMMISSION
MINUTES
MARCH 15, 1990
11 '94
The March 15, 1990, Planning Commission Meeting was called to
order at 7:30 P.M. by Chairman Kedrowski. 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.

PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES MARCH 15, 1990 PAGE 2
Deb Garross nave a background overview on shoreland district
definitions and procedures before presenting the information on
the variance request as per memo of March 15, 1990. 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.

APPLICANT: JOEL PIETIG
ITEM: 5' SOUTH SIDE YARD VARIANCE
PRESENTER: DEB GARROSS, ASSISTANT CITY PLANNER
PUBLIC HEARING: YES X NO
DATE: AFL 5,
SITE ANALYSIS
Histor Back round:
T e su Ject size is located at 16084 Eagle Creek Avenue and is
legally described on the attached survey. 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.

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.

PLANNING REPORT
DANIEL KING
5° FRONT YARD VARIANCE
HORST GRASER, DIRECTOR OF PLANNING
YES X NO
APRIL 19, 1990
SITE ANALYSIS
History /Background
The Planning Department has received a variance application from
Daniel King to consider a five foot front yard variance from the
northerly property line of Lot 25, Fe ;rview Beach. 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. Please call me if
you have any questions or would like to discuss in greater detail.

APPLICANT: BRIAN BRIGHT
ITEM: FRONT AND SIDE YARD VARIANCE
PRESENTER: HORST GRASER, DIRECTOR OF PLANNING
PUBLIC HEARING: YES X NO
DATE: APRIL 19, 1 -90
SITE ANALYSIS
History/Background
T e P anning Department has received a variance application from
Brian Bright of 17226 Sunset Trail to consider a 43' foot front
yard variance from County Road 81 and a 5' foot south side yard
variance. 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.

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

Residential, R -2 Urban Residential, R -3 Multiple Residential, and
R -4 Mixed Code Resicential Districts.
AMENDMENT NO. 2:
