PUBLIC FORUM
City Manager Boyles reviewed the process for the public forum and explained that items sched-
uled for public hearing or items for which a public hearing has been held but no final action taken,
are not eligible for discussion on the public forum.
Zack Braid, 14086 Rutgers Street NE: Presented a petition and over 150 letters signed by resi-
dents who oppose the county road extension of the county road 42 project. Stated he is not in
support of a further study and hopes the county will listen to the residents. Explained that the
neighborhood does not want a Harbor connection but would like a stop light at Boone. Stated the
safety concerns with children walking in the neighborhood and parking.
Greg Pederson, 6502 Harbor Place: Explained he is concerned about losing a left turn in and
left turn out of Harbor Place and would like a light at Boone. Suggested that other solutions are
explored instead of taking a residents home.
Blaine Kriesel, 6550 Harbor View Circle: Concerned that the data from the study would be
molded to meet a transportation network philosophy verses a balanced scorecard. Requested the
council be transparent upfront and let the engineers and let the data speak for itself. Asked if the
council is just suggesting that the county does not go forward to spend consultant dollars.
Michael Follingstad, 14070 Rutgers Street NE: Stated he took pictures that morning of a vehi-
cle coming up the street and there is no place for a vehicle to come down that street. Noted that
there are service vehicles parked on the street and many residents park on the street for various
occasions. Continued that the residents would have to travel through all of the parked cars on the
street creating a safety hazard. Commented that in ten years autonomous vehicles may be the
future and it will solve a problem that does not exist right now. Asked the council to consider alter-
natives, technology, and other activities that are out there.
Mary Allard, 6529 Harbor Place NE: Stated she lives in the home that has been discussed for
eminent domain that is in the Harbor. Explained that when she was coming out of the Harbor to
attend this meeting at 5:00 pm there was not a car coming from the west. Stated there are times
there is congestion but overall it is not a huge safety issue. Noted that she does not have an ob-
jection to the right in and right out. Suggested a traffic signal at the Harbor Place during rush hour
and she sees many different solutions as opposed to taking her home.
Gil Roscue, 14190 Grayling Circle: Stated he sent a letter to all of the City Council members
and appreciates the one response from the Mayor. Opposed to the Grayling Circle connection
that affects his property and he is against the other eminent domain options. Stated if you live in
the neighborhood you know how critical the roads are with the cars parked on the narrow roads.
Suggested another reason residents are upset may be due to the decreased value of the homes.
Asked when residents will have the opportunity to address the council and county on this decision
and when will there be an open forum with the county.
DRAFT 03 28 16 City Council Meeting Minutes 2
Charlene Petrica, 15473 Candy Cove Trail: Presented a petition regarding safety concerns on
Candy Cove trail dealing with congestion problems. Asking for the City to add no parking signs to
one side of the street and a yield sign on Woodside and Candy Cove Trail to address the uncon-
trolled intersection. Stated speeding up the hill is also an issue that needs to be addressed.
Hedberg: Noted Scott County is looking for alternatives because it is a very large project and the
intersection for CR42 and TH13 has to last for 30 to 50 years. Explained the City Council has an
obligation to make sure that they are producing something that will last for a long time. Stated he
hopes the County sticks with a right in and right out with a light at Boom.
Boyles: Advised public input for the CR42 and TH13 corridor alternatives would be heard if the
council decides to conduct a public hearing or persons can continue to use the public forum.
Hedberg: Stated the overall project construction will come back before the council in April but will
not guide any alternative on Commerce Avenue nor address anything having to do with the alter-
native configurations for Harbor Place. Noted if there is a study the council may have an oppor-
tunity to vote in April whether they support the continued study or not; then if there is a continued
study it may not come before the council until as late as this fall.
Keeney: Added persons wanting to give County Commissioners their opinion should check if
Scott County has a public forum process otherwise emails and phone calls are good ways to give
input. Stated the project is being led by Scott County and the City of Prior Lake is giving input, the
City does not have final say on the project.
Hedberg: Questioned how the municipal consent works when there is cost share.
Boyles: Commented when there is a request for municipal consent, the City Council may deny it
but the County has the right to appeal the denial to the Commissioner of Transportation.
Hedberg: Noted the Traffic Safety Committee can address Petrica’s issues and the City Manager
will have the liaison get in contact with Petrica. Question from the audience confirming that the
County Commissioners drive this project in which Hedberg responded that council can advise but
the County decides what will be done for the county highway.

PUBLIC HEARINGS
7A Consider Approval of an Appeal from Amy and Bill Cutter with Regard to the Planning
Commission’s Approval of Variances at 6430 Conroy Street NE
Planner Matzke reviewed the report on this topic dated March 28, 2016
DRAFT 03 28 16 City Council Meeting Minutes 4
MOTION BY MCGUIRE, SECOND BY THOMPSON TO OPEN THE CUTTER APPEAL PUBLIC
HEARING AT 7:47 P.M.
VOTE Hedberg Keeney McGuire Morton Thompson
Aye ☒ ☒ ☒ ☐ ☒
Nay ☐ ☐ ☐ ☐ ☐
Abstain ☐ ☐ ☐ ☐ ☐
Absent ☐ ☐ ☐ ☒ ☐
The motion carried.
Amy Cutter, 6436 Conroy Street: Presented paperwork to the City Council. Stated the basis of
the appeal is using ordinance 1104.308 which determines the setback of a property. Explained
the new property setback used two average setbacks for the property but ignored part of the ordi-
nance that states “or 50’ whichever is greater”. Stated the measurements were used in a way that
is not consistent with the adjacent principle structure. Explained the east property, where she
lives, 85% of their house is setback 50’ from the lake, they have a 12x16 deck which is being
used to base the setback. Stated this can be done per the ordinance since it is an accessory
structure within 6’ of the principle structure but it is not logical. Noted 35’ setback on the east side
sits a lot closer to the lake which causes some practical issues with privacy. Stated the new house
can look out their kitchen and see right in their house. Stated the cabin that is going to be torn
down is supposed to be used at the most restrictive guidelines. Suggested the house be flipped
because the west property does not have any east facing windows and it would be more private
for both parties. Added Prior Lake does not have a solar issues stated in the ordinances but in the
future if she wanted to put up solar panels she could not if the house was blocking the west sun
needed. Stated the house structure has to be three feet above the flood level or the highest level
on record which was 906 so it would have to be at 909 so there would need to be many things
done to the property since her house is at a 906. Presented different plans for the house to be
placed more practically. Concluded that she wanted to show the affects that the variances have
for the neighboring properties.
Bill Cutter, 6436 Conroy Street: Stated the new lot should be held to the new standards rather
than the grandfathered in standards. Suggested the house size is too large for the lot size.
MOTION BY THOMPSON, SECOND BY MCGUIRE TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AT 8:09

Aye ☒ ☒ ☒ ☐ ☒
Nay ☐ ☐ ☐ ☐ ☐
Abstain ☐ ☐ ☐ ☐ ☐
Absent ☐ ☐ ☐ ☒ ☐
The motion carried.
Keeney: Asked if the boathouse on the property will stay or will it be removed.
Matzke: Responded the Planning Commission stated the boathouse and concrete area must be
removed as part of a condition which reduces the impervious service by 4-5% on the property.
McGuire: Stated all the lots around Prior Lake with or without a house are grandfathered in.
Added that 40 years ago when the council made a commitment that every lot was buildable after
water and sewer was put in.
Thompson: Stated any property that is requesting seven variances is excessive and it shows
practical difficulty for the neighborhood.
DRAFT 03 28 16 City Council Meeting Minutes 5
Keeney: Noted for side yards the total of the two sides has to be at least 15’ but either side has to
be at least 5’. Asked Matzke to confirm that the City does not decide what the lots measure.
Matzke: Responded that is correct, the City does not decide the lot sides. Stated the second part
of the ordinance is the building separation. Noted the sides’ measure at 7.5’ and 4.5’ which does
not meet the building separation.
Keeney: Stated he finds that part of the ordinance to be complicated and he does not think one
property should dictate another. Added the lake setback does not appear to be out of character to
other houses on this block. Stated it is a house design issue regarding the privacy and he does
not find an issue with granting these variances.
Hedberg: Noted the owner of the new home property came in with a different developer to build a
smaller home. Stated the Planning Commission did their job well but questioned if anyone one
considered a different house placement on the property.
Matzke: Replied that the City did not receive any other designs.
Keeney: Asked if the setback on the street side going to be problematic when Conroy becomes a
full scale paved road.
Matzke: Responded it is ideal to have enough driveway to park a car on your property but if you
flip the house you would have less or you would be pushing the house towards the lake to gain
that driveway. Stated there is a hill to the north side of the road but it is hard to determine what the
street would do.
Keeney: Stated to build a road you would have to do a right of way acquisition.
Matzke: Noted engineering has looked at it but there has not been a study so it is difficult to de-
termine the area of the street.
MOTION BY MCGUIRE, SECOND BY KEENEY TO APPROVE RESOLUTION 16-038 APPROV-
ING VARIANCES AT 6430 CONROY STREET NE APPROVED BY THE PLANNING COMMIS-
SION.

The motion carried.
McGuire: Noted these lots make it affordable for people. Stated his lot went through a similar pro-
cess ten years ago with neighbors on both sides but it gives people an opportunity to be on the
lake.
Hedberg: Commented the challenge faced with these properties is the cost of the land and it is
bad real estate to build something that is not comparable to the value of the land. Added there
would only be multi-million dollar homes if there were only big lots all around the lake.
7B Consider Approval of a Resolution Approving the Vacation of a Drainage and Utility
Easement Located Within the Eastwood 3rd Addition
Matzke reviewed the report on this topic dated March 28, 2016
Keeney: Asked if the streets are fully storm water treated in this area.
Matzke: Correct this is just for the two lots not the public street.
Hedberg: Questioned if Matzke was sure this does not drain into the lake.
Poppler: Stated the streets were reconstructed in 2003 and drainage was changed from the east
to the north but there was no ponding for the road.

Jon Anderson, 14832 Estate Ave SE: Stated he has been working with the property owners to
get a house approved for this lot. Noted there was a retention basin that was designed in the front
corner of this lot that collected the drainage from this lot and the lot to the west of it. Explained
that outlet went into the existing storm system on Estate Ave which does run directly into the lake.
Stated he looked at a basin going in with walls around it that would have to come up adjacent to
the structures on these properties. Explained there is an underground system called StormTech
which was redesigned for these two lots. Noted instead of having holes in front of the properties
there will be underground basins to collect water and be treated before going into the storm sewer
system. Concluded he does have approval to build and is waiting for the approval of this ease-
ment to move forward and it will be privately maintained.
Greg Schwiech, 14332 Watershed Trail: Stated he developed the two lots and he has a devel-
oper’s agreement with the City that has a $6500 security bond. Questioned if his $6500 would be
refunded.
Poppler: Responded that once the underground system is installed the City can release that se-
curity bond.
Schwiech: Asked if that basin take care of his storm water as well.
Poppler: Replied yes.

8A Consider Approval of an Ordinance Amending Sections 1101 General Provisions, 1102
Use District Regulations and 1104 Shore Land Regulations of the Prior Lake Zoning Ordi-
nance Relating to Dedicated Waterfront
City Attorney Schwarzhoff reviewed the report on this topic dated March 28, 2016
MOTION BY THOMPSON, SECOND BY KEENEY TO APPROVE ORDINANCE 116-05 AMEND-
ING SECTIONS 1101 GENERAL PROVISIONS, 1102 USE DISTRICT REGULATIONS AND
1104 SHORE LAND REGULATIONS OF THE PRIOR LAKE ZONING ORDINANCE RELATING
TO DEDICATED WATERFRONT.
McGuire: Asked if we required to publish the whole ordinance.
Schwarzhoff: Replied that the ordinance is only a page long so a summary is not needed.
Thompson: Questioned if the term dedicated waterfront cover nonconforming controlled access
and controlled access.
Schwarzhoff: Responded no, controlled access lots will be any lot that is on the lake that pro-
vides access to homeowners where there is a HOA and meet various size requirements. Ex-
plained these are a section of nonconforming controlled access lots which simply means the
homes should be controlled access lots but do not fit the requirements. Stated there are 16 or 19
plats in the city which have all been identified, they all come from plats that are from the early
1900s before there were HOAs and rules about use. Concluded this ordinance creates a new def-
inition for those lots.
Thompson: Stated that the term dedicated water front means nonconforming controlled access
lots.
Schwarzhoff: Stated yes that is what it covers but there may be some other controlled access lot
out there that might be nonconforming but is not a dedicated waterfront since HOA documents.
Noted if there is an HOA it is not a dedicated waterfront.
Keeney: Commented when this process was started with regulating areas marinas then con-
trolled access lots, it was not the council’s intention to regulate these dedicated waterfront parcels
and it inadvertently happened. Explained Sunfish Bay latched onto this to resolve issues the
neighborhood was having. Stated this removes the city ordinance from the fray because the City
cannot resolve the conflicts to fix this with an ordinance. Noted the City is adding a new limitation
on the dedication waterfront lots and the DNR states it is a reasonable number to have. Con-
cluded the Planning Commission Chair Fleming mentioned it comes down to being able to share
and he agrees.
Hedberg: Clarified it has a restriction of 23 boat slips is not the number of docks that are allowed.

9B Consider Approval of a Resolution Authorizing the Replacement of Unit 521
Public Works and Natural Resources Director Gehler reviewed the report on this topic dated
March 28, 2016
Keeney: Noted he likes the versatility of this vehicle but he sees this increasing the total capital.
Stated he supports this replacement but would like to direct staff to look at how to trim a lower pri-
ority going forward.
Hedberg: Questioned delaying the purchase of a truck and trailer works for downsizing our CIP.
Keeney: Responded yes it downsizes the flow.
Gehler: Noted the fleet plan does not project future replacements.
McGuire: Stated staff put together a good report addressing the questions and concerns the
council had and he supports option two since the cost is $16k less than budgeted.

IZING THE REPLACEMENT OF UNIT 521.

9C Consider Approval of a Process Timeline and Communication Steps Proposed for the
Construction of New County Road 81 / Stemmer Ridge Road
City Engineer / Inspections Director Poppler reviewed the report on this topic dated March 28,
2016
McGuire: Stated the City needs to make sure the existing repairs are done on Stemmer Ridge
before the new part is opened.
Hedberg: Noted this should be coordinated with the SMSC on the paving of County Road 81.
Keeney: Commented that you could pave the road but put up barricades to prevent through traf-
fic.
Hedberg: Suggested the City should have some clear recommendations of which areas should
be done and the annexation task force should meet on this.
Keeney: Added access to the park will be a concern for users and the City may want to have a
communication process for the public.

9D Consider Approval of Resolution Approving an Amendment to the 2030 Comprehen-
sive Land Use Plan and Approval of an Ordinance Amending the Official Zoning Map Re-
lated to Property at 5333 160th Street SE
Planner Matzke reviewed the report on this topic dated March 28, 2016
MOTION BY MCGUIRE, SECOND BY THOMPSON TO APPROVE A RESOLUTION 16-040
APPROVING AN AMENDMENT TO THE 2030 COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE PLAN AND AP-
PROVAL OF ORDINANCE 116-07 AMENDING THE OFFICIAL ZONING MAP RELATED TO
PROPERTY AT 5333 160TH STREET SE.
Thompson: Asked what is to the east of the property.
Matzke: Responded the vacant area to the east is cemetery property.
Keeney: Questioned if the property currently meets all the setbacks and buffer yards that are
required to the adjacent residential uses.
Matzke: Replied that the City does not have a current survey of the site because there have not
been alterations in recent years, the last plan was in the 80s but judging from aerial photos and
basic setbacks it seems to be in conformance with those sites there are modifications with an
addition may have to change slightly depending on the addition size.
Keeney: Stated he is concerned with screening properties to the west in terms of fencing for the
residential area. Asked if the City can attach a condition. Explained if here is an expansion he
does not want them to take advantage of being grandfathered in.
Matzke: Suggested it would be something the City would consider with the site planner and
they could be under obligations for buffering or landscaping with an addition to the building to
the west. Continued that there is a terrain difference between the property and the west is lower.
Boyles: Stated the City can confirm this fact in a letter to convey the information.
McGuire: Noted he does not think that is an issue but if it is being expanded it would be reason-
able at that point.
Hedberg: Added this was used as commercial property before residential was in place. Stated
the new owner needs to understand any expansions will likely cause a number of important is-
sues. Concluded that the new owner needs to understand any expansions are likely to cause a
number of important considerations such as the requirement to establish a sewer connection as
well as setback and buffering requirements.
Keeney: Stated he is satisfied with a letter being sent and the meeting minutes that address his
concerns.
