Attorney Pace, Community Development Director Rye, Planner Kirchoff, Public Works Director Osmundson, City Engineer

PUBLIC FORUM: The Public Forum is intended to afford the public an opportunity to address concerns to the City
Council. The Public Forum will be no longer than 30 minutes in length. Items to be considered as part of the
Council's regular agenda may not be addressed at the Public Forum. Topics of discussion are also restricted to
City governmental topics rather than private or political agendas. The City Council will not take formal action on
issues presented during the Public Forum.
Bovles: Reviewed the procedure for the public forum.
Steve Neilsen (14677 Wilds View NW, owner of Sinclair): Discussed the concerns the Downtown business owners
(present) have with the design of access at CSAH 21 and Main Avenue. Commented that his customers would find it
difficult to enter with boats and large delivery trucks. Did not believe a pedestrian-friendly Downtown was a priority, but
traffic flow should be. Also concerned about the safety issues. Believed without some change, the businesses that currently
support Downtown, will find it difficult to continue to exist. Asked the Council to reconsider amending the design at CSAH 21
and Main.
Hauaen: Commented that staff will have to look into the matter, but reminded business owners that the idea is to create
something for the long-term. Asked if transport trucks could utilize Arcadia and Dakota as an alternate.
Neilsen: Believed it is too early to tell. The Downtown business owners feel that they know their customers and the new
street layout will be difficult to navigate. Believed there needs to be a happy medium between pedestrian traffic and
vehicular and truck traffic. Did not want to make it inconvenient for his boat traffic and trailer customers to come Downtown.
Hauaen: Asked staff to look into the CSAH 21 / Main intersection in connection with the comments made today, but
keeping in mind the vision for our Downtown 20 years from now. The idea is not to be injurious short-term or long-term to
existing businesses. Advised that there is a difference between accepting change and convenience.
Petersen: Commented that transport trucks could easily use Dakota from TH13, but is concerned if it is difficult for boat
traffic.
leMair: Believe it is worth asking staff for a recommendation.
Dan Borchardt (Dan's Auto Repair): Commented that he did not believe a fire truck can make the turn without crossing
lanes. Also commented that delivery trucks will also have a difficult time making turns at any of the intersections.
Zieska: Suggested that a discussion item be added to the agenda.

and pollution impacts. Asked about the current proposal.

BLOMBERG: Advised that she could not find regulations or supporting documentation regulating the impacts of noise on
people. Asked if the staff had any such information.

BLOMBERG: Explained that in comparing circumstances with the facilities such as the day care at her church, it seemed the
ordinance provisions as they exist are appropriate. Did not see that there should be a reason for a lesser setback.
LEMAIR: Believed there is no hazard, but that the actual number is somewhat ambiguous. Asked where the setback is
calculated from.
KIRCHOFF: The setback is calculated from the lot line.
ZIESKA: Commented that his back yard is 150 feet from CSAH 42. Did not believe there was significant noise or safety
impact upon his family at that distance.
BLOMBERG: Advised that the point is that she is not convinced that 50 feet is adequate. In a commercial area, it just seems
too close.
ZIESKA: Commented that he is comfortable with the 50 feet.
PETERSEN: Reminded that the play area is only utilized at 2-hour intervals and not at peak times. Respectfully, he
understands Councilmember Blomberg's concerns, but believed the 50 foot setback was adequate.
HAUGEN: Believed the 50 foot setback is as safe a condition that we can manage without driving businesses elsewhere.
BLOMBERG: Reminded Councilmembers that ordinance applied to the community as a whole and the consideration should
not be specific to this particular business.
MOTION BY PETERSEN, SECOND BY LEMAIR, TO APPROVE ORDINANCE 04-18 AMENDING THE ZONING
ORDINANCE TO REDUCE THE REQUIRED SETBACK FROM PRINCIPAL ARTIERIAL RAODS FOR DAY CARE PLAY
AREAS IN THE C-4 DISTRICT.

Consider Approval of a Zoning Ordinance Amendment Designating Boat Lifts and Rail Systems as Recreational
Equipment.
ZIESKA: Asked for clarification as to what a 240 square foot structure could accommodate.
KIRCHOFF: A 26 foot boat.
ZIESKA: Asked for clarification as to grandfathering.
PACE: Explained that unless the City Council wants to begin a campaign to bring every lift or rail system into compliance
with the adopted standard, boat lifts and rail systems already installed would be allowed to remain until such time as they
were changed or required replacement.
KIRCHOFF: Added that if over 50% of the structure was replaced or repaired, the structure would need to come into
compliance with a 10 foot setback and 240 square foot size limitation.
LEMAIR: Asked if a boat lift canopy is 1 foot from the property line and is 300 square feet, it can remain.
PACE: Confirmed.

from Friendship Church. The Church Board is meeting on the sale of the remnant tonight. If it worked, advised that he would
then be coming forward with an amendment to the PUD and preliminary plat, assuming approval later tonight.
Zieska: Commented that in concept, and without the benefit of further staff input and a specific application for development,
it seemed appropriate.
Pace: Advised that comments provided during the public forum are personal opinions of the Councilmembers based upon
the concept, and should not be taken as absolute direction outside the normal public hearing process.
Bodem: Confirmed that he understood and that the intention was to keep the Council apprised.

NAGEL: Advised that all properties were visited with the exception of Jim Weninger, who we were unable to contact.
MOTION BY ZIESKA, SECOND BY LEMAIR, TO APPROVE COUNTY ASSESSOR'S REPORT FOR ALL 2005
PROPERTY VALUATIONS.
VOTE: Ayes by Haugen, Blomberg, Petersen, Zieska and LeMair, the motion carried.
Consider Approval of a Resolution Approving the 2005-2009 Capital Improvement Program
TESCHNER: Reviewed the agenda item in connection with the staff report, and reviewed the major components of the
program, including the City Hall / Police Station in 2006, Fire Station in 2005, 3 additional wells before 2009, and a water
treatment facility in 2006. Transportation projects include CSAH 21, CSAH 12, CSAH 21 extension in 2007, reconstruction
of Fish Point neighborhood, Grainwood neighborhood, and Martinson Island. Advised that the completion of the CIP
includes $58 million in improvements over the next five years. It is very aggressive, but manageable.
BLOMBERG: Commented that this is a very aggressive CIP in direct response to the expectations of our citizens and in
response to the growth experienced in Prior Lake.
PETERSEN: Also complimentary of the program.
LEMAIR: Would like to see boat slips at Sand Point moved up to next year to be in line with the slips that are being installed
at Watzl's Point this year.
HAUGEN: Asked how many slips that is.
OSMUNDSON: Commented that $30,000 is in the budget for this year. We hope to get 10 slips or less. Currently they are to
be used for day use to access the beaches.
LEMAIR: Did not believe the ultimate use has been defined. There has been past discussion about a lottery for the
temporary use of the slips.
ZIESKA: Asked staff if we can afford to move it ahead.
TESCHNER: Confirmed.
OSMUNDSON: Advised that the item will be brought to an upcoming Council meeting.
MOTION BY ZIESKA, SECOND BY BLOMBERG, TO APPROVE RESOLUTION 04.88 APPROVING THE 2005-2009

Discussion of Downtown Reconstruction Project
ZIESKA: Reviewed the discussion at the public forum and the concerns raised with the intersection layout at CSAH 21 and
Main. Would like staff to review that trucks can access Main at CSAH 21 and that the common boat traffic can also be
accommodated.
HAUGEN: Commented that staff needs to address the issue, but that Main is not a preferred route for trucks. CSAH 21 will
be redeveloped at some point so there should not be too much done at this point to reconfigure the intersection or
jeopardize the pedestrian component of the new streetscape given that a final design for CSAH 21 is not completed.
ALBRECHT: Clarified that the states fire standards require that a street width have a standard radius width of 46 feet. The
minimum proposed at this time is 48 feet. So, fire trucks can make the turn and that Main Street is no different than many of
the much narrower streets found throughout Prior Lake. Further discussed that the turning radius of the curve turning from
CSAH 21 onto Main could be modified to better accommodate the boat and truck traffic, but that a change order would be
necessary. Also advised that 2 large seat wall planters were included in the plan, but we decided to eliminate them because
of their size and given that they would likely need to be removed with the reconstruction of CSAH 21. Lastly, advised that
without the planter, the curb on Main next to the flower shop could be reduced by approximately 12 feet in order to
accommodate a right-hand turn lane.
ZIESKA: Not as concerned with the CSAH 21 / Main intersection because an alternative is accessible. Complimented staff
on the catch with the planters. Would support the recommendation of staff.
HAUGEN: Believed the alternatives proposed by staff are appropriate and make sense without taking away from the
pedestrian friendly atmosphere the project is trying to accomplish.
MOTION BY ZIESKA, SECOND BY LEMAIR TO PROCEED WITH THE CHANGES PROPOSED BY STAFF.
VOTE: Ayes by Haugen, Blomberg, Petersen, Zieska, and LeMair, the motion carried.
NEW BUSINESS
Consider Approval of an Ordinance Amending the Zoning Map to Designate Property as R-1 and Approval of a
Resolution Approving a Planned Unit Development Preliminary Plan and Approval of a Resolution Approving a
Preliminary Plat to be Known as Heritage Landing.
KIRCHOFF: Reviewed the agenda item in connection with the staff report.
LEMAIR: Asked for clarification as to the front yard setback variance.
KIRCHOFF: Explained that the shorter front yard setback is an advantage for the sight in order to mitigate the impervious
surface impacts upon the lake. The front yard setback can accommodate the stacking of 2 cars.
SCOTT McMAHON (Tollefson Development): Advised that the front yard setback allows us to keep many of the mature trees
along the lake side of the property. Also noted that the exterior color palate is pre-set and the 30 month build out is market
driven.
ZIESKA: Supported the front yard setback because the "high impact" area near the lake is being preserved.
McMAHON: Explained that the grading limits are very tight and intended to preserve the lakeshore.

BLOMBERG: Asked the location of the park entrance from the development.
OSMUNDSON: Explained that the staff will work with the developer to have a trail connection, but advised that the staff has
identified a property adjacent to the proposed park in this development, that, in connection with this site, will provide a nice
area for a neighborhood park with play equipment. There is also another FiN program site on Crystal Lake that we hope to
add.
MOTION BY ZIESKA, SECOND BY BLOMBERG, TO APPROVE ORDINANCE 04-20 AMENDING ZONING MAP TO
DESIGNATE PROPERTY COMMONLY KNOWN AS THE LALLY PROPERTY AS R-1
VOTE: Ayes by Haugen, Blomberg, Petersen, Zieska and LeMair, the motion carried.
MOTION BY ZIESKA, SECOND BY PETERSEN, TO APPROVE RESOLUTION 04-89 APPROVING THE PRELIMINARY
PUD PLAN FOR HERITAGE LANDING.

The Council took a brief recess.
Consider Approval of a Report from the Traffic Safety Committee Regarding Parking Requests from Captain Jack's.
MCCORMICK: Reviewed the agenda item in connection with the staff report.
LeMair: Believed the recommendations were an appropriate compromise that helps the local business and not adversely
impacts the surrounding neighborhood.
Zieska: Asked about the removal of "No Parking" signs.
McCormick: Clarified that the removal is a temporary fix until the CUP process can be completed, noting that if additional
signage is approved it will identify seasonal parking (May 15 - Oct 15).
Blombera: Advised that the people that make up the Traffic Safety Committee include a County staff person, a
Councilmember, the City Public Works department, Engineering and Police Departments.
Hauaen: Believes this is a good approach.
Zieska: Advised he received an e-mail this afternoon complaining about the City expanding a commercial use in a
residential area. Commented that this business has been in place for many, many years, longer than many of the
homeowners have lived in the area. The City has as much responsibility to the business and its customers as it does the
homeowners in the area. The equivalent is people that purchase homes next to the airport and then complain about the
noise.
MOTION BY PETERSEN, SECOND BY LEMAIR, TO DIRECT STAFF TO PREPARE A RESOLUTION CLARIFYING THE
ISSUES ASSOCIATED WITH THE RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE TRAFFIC SAFETY COMMITTEE REGARING
PARKING IN THE AREA OF CAPTAIN JACK'S AND INITIATING THE CONDITIONAL USE PROCESS AND THE
TEMPORARY RECOMMENDATIONS.

Consider Approval of 2003 Annual Financial Report and Management Letter.
STEVE McDoNALD (Abdo, Eick & Meyers): Reviewed the agenda item in connection with the staff report.
HAUGEN: Asked if we go back to the $1.3 million CIP expenditures in 2005-2006, asked if with the maturity date of past
bond service, there is a degree of continuity as some debt is removed and others come into play.
TESCHNER: Advised that it takes some calculation, but the 10-year step does take those old bonds to new bonds into
consideration. Also commented that the decrease in the fund balance of $800,000, happened because the Council
transferred $1 million from the General Fund to the Building Fund and shows up in this financial report even though it was in
response to a large revenue-over-expenditures excess. The Council could consider taking similar action tonight.

fire in areas where a larger fire truck might not be able to access.
