RESIDENTIAL ARCHITECTURAL
RESOLUTION 90-40 AND CODE
On June 18, 1990, the City Council held a
discussion concerning the use of architectural
standards and reviewed research conducted by
Associate Planner, Steve Hess. Several
residents of the Sand Pointe neighborhood
addressed the Council to express concern over
the construction of similar houses within
close proximity of each other. The Council
directed staff to further research
architectural standards for residential
districts within the City.
The purpose of this item is to consider
Resolution 90-40. Discussion on the actual
amendments can occur, but keep in mind that
formal hearings must be held at which time
ample opportunity will be available to review
the draft amendments.
Attached find proposed Resolution 90-40 which
outlines the course of events which led to the
decision to develop architectural controls for
Prior Lake. Also attached are proposed
amendments for the Subdivision Ordinance and
City Code to im~lement the proposed
architectural ~uidel1nes for single family
neighborhoods w1thin the Cit~. Staff proposes
to amend the Subdivision Ord1nance to require
developers to submit a written narrative
outlinin~ housing elements proposed for all
new subd1visions. The pro~osed amendment also
states that the City of Pr10r Lake encourages
development of restrictive covenants and
homeowners associations to "self regulate"
exterior aspects related to landscaping, house
style, exterior finishes and other prominent
aspects of each neighborhood.
The proposed amendment to the City Code
consists of a revision to the current language
which specifically restricts the construction
of like structures within specified distances

ACTION REQUIRED:
of each other. It is the responsibility of
the Building Official to review all new
construction permits. In the event that a
like home is proposed, the ordinance would
allow the denial of a building ~ermit. The
applicant would be given opportun1ty to revise
elevations to be consistent with the
ordinance. In the event that a dispute would
arise, the applicant may follow the appeal
procedure and appeal the decision of the
Building Official to the Citr Manager and
ultimately to the Planning Comm1ssion.
Staff researched the Prior lake 2000 Housing
recommendations and discovered a supportive
position with respect to these actions. Note
the "Action" statements on the attached sheet.
Staff is of the opinion that the ~roposed
ordinance amendments would be suffic1ent to
achieve diversity and variety of design of
single family homes constructed in the
community. Staff proposes to incorporate the
architectural guidelines into the new
construction handout that is distributed to
contractors and builders when building permits
are requested.
