CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
APRIL 7, 2003
5C
JANE KANSIER, PLANNING COORDINATOR
CONSIDER APPROVAL OF THE 2002 VARIANCE
SUMMARY REPORT
History: Annually, the staffhas provided the Planning Commission
and the City Council with a report regarding the number and types of
variance requests that have been considered in the previous year. This
report summarizes the variance activity in the past year, and is
intended to provide useful information to the City Council when
considering the need for ordinance amendments or when considering
other variance requests.
The following table is a summary of variance activity for 2002, and a
comparison of activity for the previous 4 years.

Note: If an applicant requested a variance and the Planning Commission approved a
reduction of the original request, then it is represented as one approved request and
one denied request in the tables.
Table 2 compares the specific types of variance requests in 2002 to the
requests for the four preceding years. It should be noted that a new
Zoning Ordinance was adopted in 1999, eliminating the need for some
variances and creating the need for others.

Attached to this report as Exhibit A is Table 3, which details the
specific variances requested in 2002. Also attached are Exhibits B and
1:\02files\02summary\02varcc.doc
Page 2
C, which graphically portray variances by types and by City Council
and Planning Commission final action.
The variance requests in 2002 are comparable to requests made in the
previous 4 years. It is interesting to note that all but one of the lots
involved in these requests are within the Shoreland District, and 13 of
the lots are riparian lots. This indicates that the need for variances may
be triggered by the development or redevelopment of smaller lots.
In 2002, the City adopted 4 amendments to the Zoning Ordinance as
follows:
1. Ordinance No. 02-11 amending Section 1102.1403 (6) expanding
the area for a gymnastic school in the C-5 district.
2. Ordinance No. 02-14 amending Sections 1101.400 and 1104.308
(4) expanding the definition of a water-oriented accessory structure
and allowing a 50' setback from the Ordinary High Water
Elevation for such structures on lots with less than 20% slopes.
3. Ordinance No. 02-17 amending Section 1102.1105 reducing the
required rear yard setback in the C-3 district from 10' to O.
4. Ordinance No. 02-16, expanding the types of temporary uses
permitted in nonresidential districts.
The amendments adopted in 2002 were intended to address some
specific issues. While some of the amendments may help to reduce the
total number of variance applications, it is unlikely these amendments
will have a broad effect.
Current Circumstances: The Planning Commission considered this
summary report on March 10,2003. The Planning Commission
concluded that the variances requested were site specific. At this time
there is no need to amend the Zoning Ordinance to address a recurring
issue. Based upon our experiences over the past few years, staff will
be initiating an amendment to the Zoning Ordinance addressing bluff
Issues.
Conclusion: The Planning Commission and the staff recommend
approval of this report.
ALTERNATIVES:
The City Council has two alternatives:
1. Approve the variance summary report as part ofthe consent
agenda.
2. Provide the staffwith additional direction.
RECOMMENDED
MOTION: The staff recommends Alternative #1.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
APRIL 7, 2003
5D
JANE KANSIER, PLANNING COORDINATOR
CONSIDER APPROVAL OF THE 2002 CODE
ENFORCEMENT SUMMARY REPORT
Historv: The purpose ofthis report is to provide the City Council with
information regarding complaints, code violations, and code
enforcement activity for the year 2002. This report consists of a year-
end summary of the total number of complaints and code violations in
order to provide the Council with insight that may be useful in
evaluating current resident concerns and future regulatory decisions.
A great majority of City residents have pride in their neighborhoods
and community, and feel an obligation to maintain a neat appearance
on their respective properties, as well as a concern for the adjoining
properties.
In 2002, City staff received 154 complaints, an increase of23% over
the 125 complaints received in 2001. Zoning Ordinance violations
constituted 51 of these complaints, or 29% of the violations this year.
These types of complaints included improper recreational vehicle
parking, shed location and setbacks, vehicles parked in required yard
areas, and permitted uses within a zoning district. Code violations
relating to property appearance and health issues included 22
overgrown grass and weed complaints, 30 illegal storage of junk and
junk vehicles, and 21 improper disposal of garbage/refuse. These
complaints accounted for 41 % of all recorded violations. Animal
control complaints followed in number with 14, and included
excessive barking, running at large, waste pickup, and the keeping of
more than 3 domestic animals (dogs & cats).
The unique nature of Prior Lake, Spring Lake and the surrounding
Shoreland District also creates challenging issues regarding land use
and code compliance. The main reason for a majority of Shoreland
District code violations appears to be the resident's lack of knowledge
regarding these ordinances including impervious surface area
requirements, and the excavating/filling/grading on lots within the
16200 Eagle Creek Ave. S.E., Prior Lake, Minnesota 55372-1714 / Ph. (952) 447-4230 / Fax (952) 447-4245

district. The City received 7 complaints of violations in the Shoreland
District (4%).
Attached Exhibit A lists the total number of complaints received, less
the unsubstantiated complaints. Unsubstantiated complaints are those
cases where, upon inspection, it was determined that no code violation
existed, or where the issue was a civil matter between private property
owners. Upon inspection ofthe properties the number of actual
violations was determined, and includes secondary or multiple
violations on a subject property. The total number of violations is then
broken down and displayed as code category subtotals.
Attached Exhibit B is a graph depicting the total number of complaints
for each year beginning with 1995 and ending with 2002. Exhibit C
compares the number of code violations in 2000 and 2002 by type.
As of the date of this report, 129 complaint cases have been closed.
The average time required to document, investigate, and enforce
compliance of a violation was 31.5 days. The remaining 25 cases are
pending active investigations and/or under enforcement proceedings.
Four (4) ofthe pending violations have been referred to the Scott Joint
Prosecution Association for court action.
Current Circumstances: The Planning Commission considered this
summary report on March 10, 2003, and forwarded the report to the
City Council with no specific comments.
Conclusion: The Planning Commission and the staff recommend
approval of this report.
The City Council has two alternatives:
1. Approve the code enforcement summary report as part of the
consent agenda.
2. Provide the staff with additional direction.
The staff recommends Alternative #1.
to approve the code enforcement summary report
t agenda is required.
