carried.
Item 4A) Consider Approval of Invoices to be Paid:
. Councilmember Mader asked for clarification of some of the invoice items. He said there
were a number of items of fairly significant dollar amounts that were not being explained.

and asking questions, but that Councilmember Mader should ask clarification questions of
staffbefore the meeting in the interest oftime and efficiency.
.
Councilmember Mader said that he interpreted from the Bylaws changes that he should not
contact staff members directly, but should go through the City Manager, and the City
Manager was difficult to reach.
.
Mayor Andren said if a Councilmember is having difficulty communicating with staff, then
that could be addressed through the City Manager or the City Council. She said
administrative details such as this could be clarified ahead of time, so that half an hour of
time of the citizens and the Council was not wasted.
.
Councilmember Mader said that he has not taken a half hour, and more time has been taken
complaining about him asking the questions than him actually asking the questions.
.
Councilmember Kedrowski said there was a question on table.

carried.
Item 4E) Consider Approval of 1996 Variance Summary Report:
· Councilmember Mader asked about variance hardship standards, and asked for a
clarification.
· Planning Director Rye said before 1995, the variance criteria spelled out in the ordinance
were not always followed.
· Councilmember Mader asked if that meant if it was more subjective up until 1995, and
now was used more literally.
· Planning Director Rye said since 1995, the staff and Planning Commission were adhering
more closely to the ordinance.
MOTION BY MADER SECOND BY KEDROWSKI TO APPROVE ITEM 4E OF THE
CONSENT AGENDA, CONSIDER APPROVAL OF 1996 VARIANCE SUMMARY
REPORT.

carried.
Item 4G) Consider Approval of 1996 Fourth Quarter Budget Report and Overview:

routine item. He asked about the second page of the report, where there was a $24,000
expenditure, and asked if it was for the consultant. City Manager Boyles said yes.
. Councilmember Mader asked about the fifth bullet item, and additional labor services.
City Manager Boyles said it was for the labor attorney.
. Councilmember Mader asked about Data Processing totals, where there was an additional
$7,500 purchasing, which was ordered but not yet received. Assistant City Manager
Tremere said it was back-ordered through the manufacturer and had not yet arrived.
. Councilmember Mader said that they were on a cash flow basis, which should mean goods
and services are paid for as they are received. He asked about outstanding encumbrances,
and the expenditure summary on the following page. He said one of the issues they had
talked about was that expenditures were incurred when the bills were paid, and the budget
showed it in a way that it was reserve.

REZONING PROPERTY FROM THE A-I DISTRICT TO THE R-1 DISTRICT FOR
"WINDSTAR ADDITION".
. Councilmember Mader suggested the item be tabled until questions about the plat are addressed.

rezoning, and there was a question raised by some neighboring property owners on whether the
Planning Commission recommendation was carried forward.

Agreementfor "Wilderness Ponds 2nd Addition".
. City Manager Boyles introduced the item and reviewed the agenda report for item 8A of the
March 17, 1997 City Council meeting. Resolution 97-20 and the Developers Agreement were
included in the report.
. Councilmember Mader asked about Resolution 97-20. He said item 6 should say requInng
approval in 1997, not 1996. He said in Director Teschner's letter, storm water management fee
should be $129,000 not $29,000. On the developer costs, page 5 of agreement, he said it appears
the total cost is $352,000-it says the developer owes the City $261,000 and the City owes the
Developer $51,000. Exhibit D reflects storm sewer cost, and City Cost.
. Public Works Director Ilkka said storm water management fee does not match what is in the
agreement and the net lot area is different. He said the total project cost is the developer's costs.
The $51,000 is reimbursement of storm sewer.
. Councilmember Mader asked is there a cost to the taxpayers, or are all the costs being paid for by
the developer?
. Public Works Director Ilkka said there is not an additional cost to the taxpayers.

MOTION KEDROWSKI SECOND SCHENCK TO APPROVE RESOLUTION 97-21
AUTHORIZING MAIER, STEWART, AND ASSOCIATES, INe. TO PREPARE PLANS AND
SPECIFICATIONS FOR FISH POINT ROAD WITHIN CARDINAL RIDGE FIFTH
ADDITION.
Upon a vote, ayes by Andren, Greenfield, Kedrowski, Mader, and Schenck, the motion carried.
C. Consider Approval of Resolution 97-XX Denying an Appeal of Variance Request for John
Mahoney on Property Located at 15731 Highland Avenue.
Mayor Andren left the table, explaining her friendship with the property owner could be construed
as conflict of interest.
City Manager Boyles introduced the item and reviewed the agenda report for item 8C of the March
17, 1997 City Council meeting. He said the current code provides for a 75 foot setback. The
Council could adopt the resolution denying the appeal, or defer action, and direct staff to prepare a
resolution to approve the variance.
Planning Director Rye addressed the item, The applicant wishes to remove the deck and replace it
with an enclosed porch with the same setback. The staff recommendation was denial of variance,
and denial of variance does not deny reasonable use of the property. There was an error in
surveying the property, but the staff recommendation remained the same. On February 25, Mr.
Mahoney appealed the decision of the Planning Commission to the CC. The lot is greater than
15,000 square feet and is 100 feet wide at the lake and 76 feet wide at the front. There are legal
alternatives for another deck, and the Planning Commission concluded that compliance with the
ordinance would not result in hardship. Staff recommended City Council support PC with
adoption.
Councilmember Greenfield asked if the existing deck was considered impervious surface.
Planning Director Rye said impervious surface was not an issue in this case.
.
Councilmember Greenfield asked if it was same setback as the existing deck.
7
MINUTES OF THE MARCH 17, 1997 CITY COUNCIL MEETING
. Planning Director Rye said the existing deck was nonconforming and could stay there, but once
removed, it could not be rebuilt.
. Councilmember Mader asked if when this resident was in the process of a variance application,
was a hardship as defined under current ordinance alluded to? Does anything support the
application from standpoint of hardship issue?
. Planning Director Rye said there was nothing indicating a hardship. He said there have been a
significant number of variances from the ordinary high water mark, and City should consider
change in it. He said it would be his recommendation to permit a setback less than 75 feet. He
would need to research why there was a 75 foot rather than 50 foot setback.
. Councilmember Kedrowski asked if it would be within the next ninety days, and said he was
interested in adjusting the setback from 75 to 50.
. Planning Director Rye said there was probably a rationale for it, but they had not yet researched it.
MOTION KEDROWSKI SECOND SCHENCK TO HAVE STAFF PREP ARE RESOLUTION
AND FINDINGS OF FACT TO OVERTURN RECOMMENDATION OF PLANNING
COMMISSION.
. Councilmember Mader said there should not be a variance granted unless there is a hardship. One
of the major complaints about the City was that variances were subjectively administered. He said
Planning Director Rye said the City frequently applied criteria not in the ordinance prior to 1995.
. Councilmember Kedrowski said the reality was that this issue has come about before, as in the
example of substandard lots.
. City Attorney Pace said the issue that the Council had to decide was whether the Council believed
there was a hardship or whether the residents met the criteria for a variance.
. Councilmember Greenfield said reviewing variances was not simply an administrative exercise,
and it was important for the Council to look at it as a tool. He said what are the concerns facing
the community in dealing with high water mark variances? Was there a reason it kept coming up?
He referred to Consent Agenda Item 4E, 1996 Variance Summary, in which there were 10
Ordinary High Water setbacks, representing 24% of the variance requests. He said maybe staff
needs to be directed that this setback be modified. When looking at a variance, it is always
somewhat ~ubjective, as each case is individual.
. Councilmember Kedrowski said maybe Council should table this and consider bringing it back
with a possible ordinance amendment.
. Councilmember Greenfield said there was always a concern on how this would be handled. The
situation on the current ordinance is that the same deck could be replaced, and these people want
to replace the same deck but with a 3-season porch. He recalled a case when a resident asked for a
variance for a two car garage, and two car garage was given because of the winter. This deck
31797.DOC 8
MINUTES OF THE MARCH 17, 1997 CITY COUNCIL MEETING
would allow use of the property in the summer season, providing a place away from the
mosquitoes.
· Councilmember Kedrowski said they should provide staff with a specific direction tonight.
· City Attorney Pace asked Planning Director Rye about a variance subject to a 60 day rule. If it is
denied, can it be brought back?
· Planning Director Rye said not under current provisions. He said a resolution could be at next
meeting, but an appeal constitutes a separate action.
· Councilmember Kedrowski said he would withdraw the motion, and Council could consider
ordinance amendment; 120 days additional.
· Councilmember Greenfield noted that the City Attorney said with the applicant's approval, it
could be extended to any period of time. A change in the high water mark setback would be an
amendment to the ordinance.
· The Attorney for the Fong's, Ed Christian, said there was no hardships presented on the
applications. He said the house was built with approval of City with permit. Guest cottage and
house were torn down. He received a permit to build a house and deck, 51 feet from the ordinary
high water mark. He questioned whether the CUP had to be obtained, when the setback is the
same as the deck.
· Mr. Christian stated that the City Staff is saying they could build behind garage. If they did that, it
would be to go through the garage. He said the porch should have access to patio doors. A split
level home does not lend itself to porch behind deck. He said with the 10 steps going down, this
would be 44 feet. Using the setback averaging provisions of 44', 51', and 66' would make the
most sense for a setback. The three things he wanted to consider was there is not any additional
setbacks being asked for. There is no real feasible alternative. He wants the Council to know, that
if it is turned down, it will still be there.
· Councilmember Kedrowski withdrew the motion, Councilmember Schenck withdrew the second.
MOTION BY KEDROWSKI SECOND BY SCHENCK TO TABLE UNTIL TIME CERTAIN
APRIL 21ST.
Upon a vote, ayes by Greenfield, Kedrowski, Mader, and Schenck, the motion carried.
Mayor Andren returned to the table.
MOTION KEDROWSKI SECOND BY SCHENCK TO DIRECT STAFF TO CONSIDER
CHANGING ZONING ORDINANCE FROM A 75 FOOT SETBACK TO A 50 FOOT
SETBACK FROM THE ORDINARY HIGH WATER MARK.
.
Councilmember Mader said Council should direct Staff to look over whole ordinance, and rather
than directing Planning Department to revise to 50 feet, it should be recommended that Planning
31797.DOC
9
MINUTES OF THE MARCH 17, 1997 CITY COUNCIL MEETING
Department review the issue and come back to the Council with recommendations for changing
setback.
. Councilmember Kedrowski said the reason for 50 feet was that it was suggested to him.
. Mayor Andren said it was from the DNR minimum, and she was there when it was voted in for 75
feet instead of 50 feet.
. Mayor Andren called the question.
Upon a vote, ayes by Andren, Greenfield, Kedrowski, and Schenck, nay Mader, the motion
carried.
. Councilmember Greenfield said an amendment to the ordinance that replaces existing decks could
be that 3 season porches should be considered as part of deck replacement if it is the same
dimension of the existing porch.
MOTION BY GREENFIELD SECOND BY ANDREN TO ADD THREE SEASON PORCHES
AS PART OF REPLACEMENT OF EXISTING DECKS TO THE ZONING ORDINANCE.
Upon a vote, ayes by Andren, Greenfield, Kedrowski, and Schenck, nay Mader, the motion
carried.
D. Consider Approval of Ordinance 97-08 Amending the Zoning Ordinance and City Code
Relating to the Definition of Minimum Lot Area in the Shoreland District.
. City Manager Boyles introduced the item, which was already in Shoreland Ordinance.
MOTION SCHENCK SECOND KEDROWSKI TO APPROVE ORDINANCE 97-08
AMENDING THE ZONING ORDINANCE AND CITY CODE RELATING TO THE
DEFINITION OF MINIMUM LOT AREA IN THE SHORELAND DISTRICT.
Upon a vote, ayes by Andren, Greenfield, Kedrowski, Mader, and Schenck, the motion carried.
9. OTHER BUSINESS:
A. Councilmember Schenck handed out Prior Lake's Tobacco Ordinance 96-16. He said page
number four, age 25 needs to be amended to 26. 1;'he second area should be compliance
checks, which should be in the ordinance.
.
City Attorney Pace said the ordinance did not currently provide for compliance checks; there were
a lot of contingencies to go into compliance checks, you do limit yourself when you define a
procedure. There needs to be something in the ordinance to ensure that compliance checks should
be done.
.
Counci1member Mader recalled there was general discussion, but it could create a problem not a
solution.
31797.DOC

MINUTES OF THE MARCH 17, 1997 CITY COUNCIL MEETING
· City Attorney Pace said it was her recommendation that everyone should be notified that there
would be periodic compliance checks. It would prevent arbitrary enforcement of the ordinance.
She did not know how many licensees, but if everyone was put on notice, it would be easier.
· Councilmember Mader said how would having compliance checks in the ordinance help? If
Police did not enforce it, it would not help. He gave the example of posted speed limits, which are
not in City ordinances.
