RESOLUTION 01-002PC
A RESOLUTION APPROVING A TIME EXTENSION TO SEPTEMBER 27, 2001, FOR
VARIANCE RESOLUTION 99-026PC, A 70 FOOT VARIANCE TO PERMIT A
STRUCTURE SETBACK OF 30 FEET FROM THE ORDINARY mGH WATER MARK
OF A TRIBUTARY STREAM RATHER THAN THE REQUIRED 100 FEET
BE IT RESOLVED BY the Board of Adjustment of the City of Prior Lake, Minnesota;
FINDINGS
1. Mark L. Liesener has applied for a one year time extension expiration date for a variance
from the Zoning Ordinance in order to permit the construction of a single family dwelling on
a lot that does not meet the minimum setback to a tributary river in the R-S (Rural
Subdivision Residential) and SD (Shoreland Overlay) Districts at the following location, to
wit;
4525 Jackson Trail, Prior Lake, legally described as Lot 13, Block 2, Titus Second Addition,
Scott County, Minnesota.
2. The Board of Adjustment reviewed the request for an Extension of Time for the Variance as
contained in Case File #99-086, on January 16,2001.
3. The Board of Adjustment has considered the effect of the proposed request upon the health,
safety, and welfare of the community, the existing and anticipated traffic conditions, light
and air, danger of fire, risk to the public safety, the effect on property values in the
surrounding area and the effect of the proposed variance on the Comprehensive Plan.
4. Because of conditions on the subject property and on the surrounding property, it is possible
to use the subject property in such a way that the proposed variance time extension will not
result in the impairment of an adequate supply of light and air to adjacent properties,
unreasonably increase congestion in the public streets, increase the danger of fire, and danger
to the public safety, unreasonably diminish or impair health, safety, comfort, morals or in
any other respect be contrary to the Zoning Ordinance and Comprehensive Plan.
5. The pre-existing lot of record does not meet the current Ordinance for minimum lot size in
the R-S District. This situation creates an unbuildable lot and a hardship with respect for the
preservation and enjoyment of a substantial property right of the owner.
6. There is justifiable hardship due to the fact that this lot is a lot of record platted prior to the
minimum lot area requirements established by the current ordinance. Reasonable use of the
property does not exist without the granting of the Variance's time extension to permit a
buildable lot for a single family dwelling.

7. The granting of the Variance's time extension will not serve merely as a convenience to the
applicant/owner, and is necessary to alleviate demonstrable hardship.
8. Without the requested Extension Of Time for the Variance the vacant lot is unbuildable.
9. The granting of the Extension Of Time for the Variance is necessary for the preservation and
enjoyment of a substantial property right of the applicant/owner. The variance will not serve
merely as a convenience to the applicant, and is necessary to alleviate demonstrable
hardship.
10. The contents of Planning Case #99-086PC are hereby entered into and made a part of the
public record and the record of decision for this case.
CONCLUSION
Based upon the Findings set forth above, the Board of Adjustment hereby approves the following
variance time extension:
1. An extension of time to September 27, 2001, for a 70 foot Variance to permit a structure
setback of 30 from the ordinary high water mark of a tributary river rather than the required
minimum 100 feet.
The following conditions must be adhered to prior to the issuance of a building permit for the
proposed structure:
1. Prior to construction, the applicant must obtain all necessary permits, including permits for
the private well and septic system.
2. The applicant/owner shall be required to comply with all other city ordinances and agency or
governmental regulations that apply.
3. This Resolution must be recorded and proof of recording submitted to the Planning
Department within 60 days of approval. Pursuant to Section 1108.415 of the City Code, the
variance time extension will be null and void if the necessary permits are not obtained for the
proposed structure by September 27,2001.
Adopted by the Board of Adjustment on January 16,2001.

RESOLUTION 99-026PC
A RESOLUTION APPROVING A 70 FOOT VARIANCE TO PERMIT A 30
FOOT STRUCTURE SETBACK INSTEAD OF THE REQUIRED MINIMUM 100
FOOT STRUCTURE SETBACK FROM THE ORDINARY HIGH WATER
LEVEL OF A TRIBUTARY STREAM
BE IT RESOLVED BY the Board of Adjustment of the City of Prior Lake, Minnesota;
FINDINGS
1. Mark L. Liesener has applied for a variance from the Zoning Ordinance in order to
permit the construction of a single family dwelling located in the R-S (Rural
Subdivision Residential Use) District and SD (Shoreland) District at the following
location, to wit;
4525 Jackson Trail, legally described as Lot 13, Block 2, Titus Second Addition
2. The Board of Adjustment has reviewed the application for variances as contained in
Case #99-086PC and held hearings thereon on December 13, 1999.
3. The Board of Adjustment has considered the effect of the proposed variance upon the
health, safety, and welfare of the community, the existing and anticipated traffic
conditions, light and air, danger of fire, risk to the public safety, the effect on property
values in the surrounding area and the effect of the proposed variance on the
Comprehensive Plan.
4. Because of conditions on the subject property and on the surrounding property, it is
possible to use the subject property in such a way that the proposed variance will not
result in the impairment of an adequate supply of light and air to adjacent properties,
unreasonably increase congestion in the public streets, increase the danger of fire, and
danger to the public safety, unreasonably diminish or impair health, safety, comfort,
morals or in any other respect be contrary to the Zoning Ordinance and
Comprehensive Plan.
5. The pre-existing lot of record does not allow for the minimum structure setback
requirements of 100 feet from the ordinary high water level of a tributary stream and
does not provide for a legal building envelope for a residential dwelling. This
situation creates an unbuildable lot and a hardship with respect for the preservation
and enjoyment of a substantial property right of the owner.

6. There is justifiable hardship caused by the minimum structure setback to a tributary
stream required today and the platted lot of record. Reasonable use of the property
does not exist without the granting of the variance to permit a buildable lot for a
single family dwelling.
7. The granting of the Variance will not serve merely as a convenience to the applicant,
and is necessary to alleviate demonstrable hardship.
8. Without the requested Variance the vacant lot is unbuildable.
9. The granting of the variance is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a
substantial property right of the applicant. The variance will not serve merely as a
convenience to the applicant, and is necessary to alleviate demonstrable hardship.
10. The contents of Planning Case #99-086PC are hereby entered into and made a part of
the public record and the record of decision for this case.
CONCLUSION
Based upon the Findings set forth above, the Board of Adjustment hereby approves the
following variance for the proposed structure as shown in Exhibit A Revised:
1. A 70 foot Variance to permit a 30 foot structure setback instead of the required 100
foot structure setback to the ordinary high water level of a tributary stream.
The following are conditions which must be adhered to prior to the issuance of a building
permit for the proposed structure:
1. All other City Codes and applicable agency regulations, including the Minnesota
Pollution Control Agency standards for private well and septic systems shall be met.
2. The variance must be recorded and proof of recording submitted to the Planning
Department within 60 days. Pursuant to Section 1108.415 of the City Code, the
variance will be null and void if the necessary permits are not obtained for the
proposed structure within one year after adoption of this resolution.

RESOLUTION 99-25PC
A RESOLUTION DENYING A 2.7 FOOT VARIANCE TO PERMIT THE
LOWEST FLOOR ELEVATION TO BE .3 FEET INSTEAD OF THE REQUIRED
3 FEET ABOVE THE ORDINARY HIGH WATER LEVEL OF A TRIBUTARY
STREAM
BE IT RESOLVED BY the Board of Adjustment of the City of Prior Lake, Minnesota;
FINDINGS
1. Mark L. Leisener has applied for variances from the Zoning Ordinance in order to
permit the construction of a single family dwelling on property located in the R-S
(Rural Subdivision Residential) District and the SD (Shoreland Overlay) District at
the following location, to wit;
4525 Jackson Trail, Legally described as Lot 13, Block 2, Titus Second Addition
2. The Board of Adjustment has reviewed the application for variances as contained in
Case #99-086 and held hearings thereon on November 22, 1999, and December 13,
1999.
3. The Board of Adjustment has considered the effect of the proposed variance upon the
health, safety, and welfare of the community, the existing and anticipated traffic
conditions, light and air, danger of fire, risk to the public safety, the effect on property
values in the surrounding area and the effect of the proposed variance on the
Comprehensive Plan.
4. Because of conditions on the subject property and on the surrounding property, the
proposed variance will result in the impairment of an adequate supply of light and air
to adjacent properties, unreasonably increase congestion in the public streets, increase
the danger of fire, and danger to the public safety, unreasonably diminish or impair
health, safety, comfort, morals or in any other respect be contrary to the Zoning
Ordinance and Comprehensive Plan.
5. The legal alternative exists to build a structure that conforms to the Shoreland District
regulations requiring a minimum lowest floor elevation of three feet above the
ordinary high-water level. The applicant has control over the house design and shape,
such that the hardship created has been created by the applicant. Reasonable use of
the property exists with a revised building plan.

AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER
6. There is no justifiable hardship caused by the required lowest floor elevation as
reasonable use of the property exists without the granting of the variance.
7. The granting of the variance, as originally requested, is not necessary for the
preservation and enjoyment of a substantial property right of the applicant. The
variance will serve merely as a convenience to the applicant, and is not necessary to
alleviate demonstrable hardship. The factors above allow for an alternative structure
to be permitted without a variance.
8. The contents of Planning Case #99-086PC are hereby entered into and made a part of
the public record and the record of decision for this case.
CONCLUSION
Based upon the Findings set forth above, the Board of Adjustment hereby denies the
following variance for a future single family dwelling and attached garage (as shown in
attached Exhibit A);
1. A 2.7 foot Variance to permit the lowest floor elevation .3 feet instead of the required
3 feet above the ordinary high-water level of a tributary stream.
Adopted by the Board of Adjustment on December 13, l 99.

RESOLUTION 99-021PC
A RESOLUTION APPROVING A 52,496 SQUARE FOOT VARIANCE TO
PERMIT A 34,628 SQUARE FOOT LOT AREA INSTEAD OF THE REQillRED
MINIMUM AREA OF 2 ACRES (87,124 SQUARE FEET) REQillRED TO BE
BUILDABLE IN AN R-S DISTRICT.
BE IT RESOLVED BY the Board of Adjustment of the City of Prior Lake, Minnesota;
FINDINGS
1. Mark L. Liesener has applied for a variance from the Zoning Ordinance in order to
permit the construction of a single family dwelling on a lot not meeting the minimum
lot area in the R-S (Rural Subdivision Residential Use) District at the following
location, to wit;
4525 Jackson Trail, legally described as Lot 13, Block 2, Titus Second Addition
2. The Board of Adjustment has reviewed the application for the variance as contained
in Case File #99-067 and held hearings thereon on September 13, 1999, and on
September 27, 1999.
3. The Board of Adjustment has considered the effect of the proposed variance upon the
health, safety, and welfare of the community, the existing and anticipated traffic
conditions, light and air, danger of fire, risk to the public safety, the effect on property
values in the surrounding area and the effect of the proposed variance on the
Comprehensive Plan.
4. Because of conditions on the subject property and on the surrounding property, it is
possible to use the subject property in such a way that the proposed variance will not
result in the impairment of an adequate supply of light and air to adjacent properties,
unreasonably increase congestion in the public streets, increase the danger of fire, and
danger to the public safety, unreasonably diminish or impair health, safety, comfort,
morals or in any other respect be contrary to the Zoning Ordinance and
Comprehensive Plan.
5. The pre-existing lot of record does not meet the current Ordinance for minimum lot
size in the R-S District. This situation creates an unbuildable lot and a hardship with
respect for the preservation and enjoyment of a substantial property right of the
owner.

6. There is justifiable hardship due to the fact that this lot is a lot of record platted prior
to the minimum lot area requirements established by the current ordinance.
Reasonable use of the property does not exist without the granting of the variance to
permit a buildable lot for a single family dwelling.
7. The granting of the Variance will not serve merely as a convenience to the applicant,
and is necessary to alleviate demonstrable hardship.
8. Without the requested Variance the vacant lot is unbuildable.
9. The granting of the variance is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a
substantial property right of the applicant. The variance will not serve merely as a
convenience to the applicant, and is necessary to alleviate demonstrable hardship.
10. The contents of Planning Case #99-067PC are hereby entered into and made a part of
the public record and the record of decision for this case.
CONCLUSION
Based upon the Findings set forth above, the Board of Adjustment hereby approves the
following variance:
1. A 52,496 square foot Variance to permit a lot area of 34,628 square feet rather than
the required minimum lot area of2 acres (87,124 square feet) to be buildable in an R-
S (Rural Subdivision Residential Use) District.
The following are conditions which must be adhered to prior to the issuance of a building
permit for the proposed structure:
1. Prior to construction, the applicant must obtain all necessary permits, including
permits for the private well and septic system.
2. The variance must be recorded and proof of recording submitted to the Planning
Department within 60 days. Pursuant to Section 1108.415 of the City Code, the
variance will be null and void if the necessary permits are not obtained for the
proposed structure within one year after adoption ofthis resolution.
Adopted by the Board of Adjustment on September 27, 1999.

CONSIDER A 1 YEAR TIME EXTENSION TO THE

LOT 13, BLOCK 2, TITUS 2ND ADDITION
STEVEN HORSMAN, ZONING ADMINISTRATOR
JANE KANSIER, PLANNING COORDINATOR
YES -1L NO
JANUARY 16, 2001
The Planning Department received a written request for a one year extension of
an approved variance from Mark Liesener (Exhibit A Request). On December
13, 1999,the Planning Commission approved a variance to the structure setback
requirement. This variance expired on December 13, 2000. The request to
extend the variance was submitted on December 6,2000, after notification by
this office of the impending expiration. Variance Resolution 99-026PC, originally
adopted on December 13, 1999, approved a variance to the minimum structure
setback for a single family dwelling (Exhibit B Resolution). The variance is
described as follows:
1. A 70 foot variance to permit a 30 foot structure setback from the Ordinary
High Water Mark (OHWM) elevation of a tributary stream rather than the
required 100 foot [City Code Subsection 1104.301: (3) Setback
Requirements: Tributary Rivers].
DISCUSSION:
Lot 13, Block 2, Titus 2nd Addition, was platted in 1974. The property is located
within the R-S District (Rural Suburban Residential) and the SD District
(Shoreland Overlay). The original owner and applicant, Mark Liesener, decided
not to build on the subject lot and has recently sold the property to Daniel
Pinkevich. The new owner intends to build a single family dwelling in the Spring
of 2001. Without the variance extension the lot would become unbuildable again
and the new owner would be required to apply for the same variance that was
approved on December 13, 1999.

AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER
The applicant Mark Liesener has met two out of three of the required conditions
by recording the Variance Resolution with Scott County and signing the Assent
of Applicant Form (Exhibit C Assent Form), but did not make substantial use of
the premises by submitting a building permit application and commencing
construction within one year of adoption as required by City Ordinance
1108.415.
The Planning Commission may grant an extension of time not to exceed one
year for any variance. The request for a time extension must be filed with the
Zoning Administrator before the termination date of the Variance, but shall not be
filed more than 30 days before the termination date (City Ordinance 1108.419).
The applicant has met this requirement.
RECOMMENDATION:
The Planning Staff has reviewed the applicant's request for a one year extension
of time. The lot in question is a nonconforming lot of record. A variance is
required before any construction will be allowed on the property.
On October 9, 2000, The Planning Commission approved a request for a time
extension of one year for Variance Resolution 99-021 PC. Resolution 00-014PC
granted the applicant until September 27,2001, for commencing construction on
the subject property or the variance will expire. Staff recommends a time
extension for this Variance request coincide with the time extension granted on
the previous request, on September 27,2001. If a building permit is not
approved prior to September 27, 2001, this variance will also expire.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Approve the one year extension of time as requested by the applicant, or
approve a time period less than one year as the Planning Commission deems
appropriate in the circumstances.
2. Table or continue discussion of the item for specific purpose.
3. Deny the extension of time because the Planning Commission finds the
applicant did not meet all of the conditions imposed in the variance resolution
as required under the zoning code. In this case, the Planning Commission
should direct staff to prepare a resolution with findings denying the extension
of time requests.

water mark of a tributary river rather than the required 100 feet.

I am requesting a one year extension of the approved Variance Resolution's
99-025PC & 99-026PC for the above lot.
The lot has been sold. The new buyer plans on building in the coming year,
and would like the extension.
Thank You.

RESOLUTION 99-026PC
A RESOLUTION APPROVING A 70 FOOT VARIANCE TO PERMIT A 30
FOOT STRUCTURE SETBACK INSTEAD OF THE REQUIRED MINIMUM 100
FOOT STRUCTURE SETBACK FROM THE ORDINARY mGH WATER
LEVEL OF A TRIBUTARY STREAM
BE IT RESOLVED BY the Board of Adjustment of the City of Prior Lake, Minnesota;
FINDINGS
1. Mark L. Liesener has applied for a variance from the Zoning Ordinance in order to
permit the construction of a single family dwelling located in the R-S (Rural
Subdivision Residential Use) District and SD (Shoreland) District at the following
location, to wit;
4525 Jackson Trail, legally described as Lot 13, Block 2, Titus Second Addition
2. The Board of Adjustment has reviewed the application for variances as contained in
Case #99-086PC and held hearings thereon on December 13, 1999.
3. The Board of Adjustment has considered the effect of the proposed variance upon the
health, safety, and welfare of the community, the existing and anticipated traffic
conditions, light and air, danger of fire, risk to the public safety, the effect on property
values in the surrounding area and the effect of the proposed variance on the
Comprehensive Plan.
4. Because of conditions on the subject property and on the surrounding property, it is
possible to use the subject property in such a way that the proposed variance will not
result in the impairment of an adequate supply of light and air to adjacent properties,
unreasonably increase congestion in the public streets, increase the danger of fire, and
danger to the public safety, unreasonably diminish or impair health, safety, comfort,
morals or in any other respect be contrary to the Zoning Ordinance and
Comprehensive Plan.
5. The pre-existing lot of record does not allow for the minimum Structure setback
requirements of 100 feet from the ordinary high water level of a tributary stream and
does not provide for a legal building envelope for a residential dwelling. This
situation creates an unbuildable lot and a hardship with respect for the preservation
and enjoyment of a substantial property right of the owner.

6. There is justifiable hardship caused by the minimum structure setback to a tributary
stream required today and the platted lot of record. Reasonable use of the property
does not exist without the granting of the variance to permit a buildable lot for a
single family dwelling.
7. The granting of the Variance will not serve merely as a convenience to the applicant,
and is necessary to alleviate demonstrable hardship.
8. Without the requested Variance the vacant lot is unbuildable.
9. The granting of the variance is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a
substantial property right of the applicant. The variance will not serve merely as a
convenience to the applicant, and is necessary to alleviate demonstrable hardship.
to. The contents of Planning Case #99-086PC are hereby entered into and made a part of
the public record and the record of decision for this case.
CONCLUSION
Based upon the Findings set forth above, the Board of Adjustment hereby approves the
following variance for the proposed structure as shown in Exhibit A Revised:
1. A 70 foot Variance to permit a 30 foot structure setback instead of the required 100
foot Structure setback to the ordinary high water level of a tributary stream.
The following are conditions which must be adhered to prior to the issuance of a building
permit for the proposed structure:
1. All other City Codes and applicable agency regulations, including the Minnesota
Pollution Control Agency standards for private well and septic systems shall be met.
2. The variance must be recorded and proof of recording submitted to the Planning
Department within 60 days. Pursuant to Section 1108.415 of the City Code, the
variance will be null arld void if the necessary permits are not obtained for the
proposed Structure within one year after adoption of this resolution.
Adopted by the Board of Adjustment on Decemb~

A RESOLUTION APPROVING A TIME EXTENSION OF ONE YEAR TO DECEMBER
13, 2001, FOR VARIANCE RESOLUTION 99-026PC
BE IT RESOL YED BY the Board of Adjustment of the City of Prior Lake, Minnesota;
FINDINGS
1. Mark L. Liesener has applied for a one year time extension expiration date for a variance
from the Zoning Ordinance in order to permit the construction of a single family dwelling on
a lot that does not meet the minimum setback to a tributary river in the R-S (Rural
Subdivision Residential) and SD (Shoreland Overlay) Districts at the following location, to
wit;
4525 Jackson Trail, Prior Lake, legally described as Lot 13, Block 2, Titus Second Addition,
Scott County, Minnesota.
2. The Board of Adjustment reviewed the request for an Extension of Time for the Variance as
contained in Case File #99-086, on January 16, 2001.
3. The Board of Adjustment has considered the effect of the proposed request upon the health,
safety, and welfare of the community, the existing and anticipated traffic conditions, light
and air, danger of fire, risk to the public safety, the effect on property values in the
surrounding area and the effect of the proposed variance on the Comprehensive Plan.
4. Because of conditions on the subject property and on the surrounding property, it is possible
to use the subject property in such a way that the proposed variance time extension will not
result in the impairment of an adequate supply of light and air to adjacent properties,
unreasonably increase congestion in the public streets, increase the danger of fire, and danger
to the public safety, unreasonably diminish or impair health, safety, comfort, morals or in
any other respect be contrary to the Zoning Ordinance and Comprehensive Plan.
5. The pre-existing lot of record does not meet the current Ordinance for minimum lot size in
the R-S District. This situation creates an unbuildable lot and a hardship with respect for the
preservation and enjoyment of a substantial property right of the owner.
6. There is justifiable hardship due to the fact that this lot is a lot of record platted prior to the
minimum lot area requirements established by the current ordinance. Reasonable use of the
property does not exist without the granting of the Variance's time extension to permit a
buildable lot for a single family dwelling.

· It speaks volumes that the neighbors are not present to object. Ifthey do not object, I
will not object. St. Michael's say they have a master plan to expand.
· To build a 4x4 foot requirement that does not need to be satisfied after the end of

inclined to let them build it.

· Sees no problem granting the variance.
· The neighbors are not close.
· It is not attractive as it stands now. The material will be Class I.

A. Case File #99-686 Mark Liesener is requesting a one year extension of the
approved Variance Resolutions 99-025PC and 99-026PC for the property identified as
Lot 13, Block 2, Titus Second Addition.
Zoning Administrator Steve Horsman presented the Planning Report dated January 16,2001,
on file in the office of the Planning Department.
The Planning Department received a written request for a one year extension of an approved
variance from Mark Liesener. On December 13, 1999, the Planning Commission approved a
variance to the Structure setback requirement. This variance expired on December 13,2000.
The request to extend the variance was submitted on December 6, 2000, after notification by
this office of the impending expiration. Variance Resolution 99-026PC, originally adopted
on December 13, 1999, approved a variance to the minimum Structure setback for a single
family dwelling. The variance is described as follows:

A 70 foot variance to permit a 30 foot structure setback from the Ordinary High Water
Mark (OHWM) elevation of a tributary stream rather than the required 100 foot [City
Code Subsection 1104.301: (3) Setback Requirements: Tributary Rivers].
The Planning Staff reviewed the applicant's request for a one year extension of time. The lot
in question is a nonconforming lot of record. A variance is required before any construction
will be allowed on the property.
On October 9, 2000, The Planning Commission approved a request for a time extension of
one year for Variance Resolution 99-021PC. Resolution 00-014PC granted the applicant
until September 27,2001, for commencing construction on the subject property or the
variance will expire. Staff recommends a time extension for this variance request coincide
with the time extension granted on the previous request, on September 27, 2001. If a building
permit is not approved prior to September 27,2001, this variance will also expire.
Comments from the Commissioners:
Lemke:
· Sounds reasonable.
Atwood:
· Questioned if the new owner (Daniel Pinkevich) had contacted the City. Horsman
said he has not recently talked to him. Originally Pinkevich was planning to build in
the spring, but does not know if that has changed.
· September 27 is reasonable.

DECEMBER 13, 1999
The Planning Department received a variance application from Mark Leisener for
the construction of a single family dwelling with attached garage (Exhibit A
Survey). The applicant previously applied for a variance to lot area that was
approved by the Planning Commission (Resolution 99-021 PC). The applicant
applied for a Variance to permit the lowest floor level to be less than the required
3 feet above the ordinary high water level and the Planning Commission tabled
this request at the public hearing held on November 22, 1999. The following
Variances are being requested:
1. A 2.7 foot variance to permit the lowest floor elevation to be three tenths
foot (.3) instead of the required three (3) feet above the ordinary high
water level [Code Section 1104.308].
2. A 70 foot Variance to permit a 30 foot structure setback instead of the
required 100 foot setback from the ordinary high water level of a tributary
stream [Code Section 1104.301 (3)].
DISCUSSION:
The subject property, Lot 13, Block 2, Titus Second Addition, was platted
16200 Eagle Creek Ave. S.E., Prior Lake, Minnesota 55372-1714 / Ph. (612) 447-4230 / Fax (612) 447-4245
AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER
in 1974. The property is located within the R-S (Rural Subdivision Residential)
and Shoreland (SO) Districts. An outlet channel from Prior Lake runs along the
eastern property boundary. The area was not depicted on the City's Zoning Map
as Shoreland District. This was discovered by staff during the building permit
review process and was confirmed by the DNR as an unnamed tributary stream
within the Shoreland District.
In regards to the first Variance, the Prior Lake City Code Section for Shoreland
Regulations, specifically 1104.308 (3): High Water Elevations: b. reads in part,
For rivers and streams, by placing the lowest floor at least 3 feet above the
ordinary high-water level. The Prior Lake Spring Lake Watershed District has
suggested that the top of bank elevation of 802.9 feet is the ordinary high-water
level for the tributary on this lot. Since no detailed hydrologic study has been
completed for this area, city staff concurs with this assessment.
The legal alternative to the floor elevation variance for the proposed structure is
to place the lowest floor elevation at 805.9 feet. This can be achieved by either
one of two methods. One, by building a two story structure with a main level slab
on grade, or two, by raising the proposed elevation 2.7 feet and adding daylight
windows in the lower level and grading to provide adequate drainage. Option 2
will raise the garage slab elevation to approximately 814.1 feet, and when
compared with a curb elevation of 806.64 feet will create a driveway slope of
approximately 9%, within the maximum 10% allowable slope. In addition, the
building height of approximately 25 feet would not exceed the maximum 35 feet
allowable.
Prior to discovering this area was in the Shoreland District, members of the City's
Building, Engineering and Planning Departments met with the applicant and
builder to discuss their concern regarding the tributary and explain the required
minimum 30 foot structure setback from the 100 year high water level of the
stream, per Code Section 1006.406: Wetland or Detention Pond: in part,
grading plan shall indicate a minimum setback of thirty feet (30) measured from
the 100 year flood elevation of the wetland or detention pond to the building pad.
Because a flood study has not been done in this area the Watershed District
suggested the 100 year flood elevation to be one foot above the road's lowest
elevation over the culvert of the channel. The road's elevation is 803.3 feet and
the original required setback was to be 30 feet from the 804.3 foot elevation. In
addition, the structure's lowest opening elevation was to be 3 feet above the
estimated 100 year high water level.
On October 6, 1999, the applicant submitted a revised survey depicting a 30 foot
setback from the 803.3 foot elevation contour and not the 804.3 foot elevation as
was requested by city staff (Exhibit A Revised Survey).
L:\99FILES\99V AR\99-086\86V ARPT2.DOC
Page 2
The subject lot was then discovered to be in the Shoreland District. This was
explained to the applicant and builder in a second meeting with the building,
engineering and planning staffs. Mr. Leisener did not appear receptive to the
lowest floor elevation requirement because this affected the type of house plan
he was proposing. Soon after this meeting the applicant phoned the building
official and a third meeting was scheduled with the Building Official and Planning
Director. At this meeting two alternative house plans that met the required
lowest floor elevation were suggested to the applicant and addressed in a letter
to the applicant from the City staff dated October 14, 1999. The applicant
eventually applied for a variance to the Shoreland District requirements.
Regarding the second Variance request, the applicable City Code Section is
1104.301 (3): Setback Requirements: Structure setback from the OHW elevation
(feet) for tributary river is 100 feet. This requires a 70 foot setback variance to
allow a 30 foot structure setback from the OHW level of the stream along the
eastern lot line (Exhibit A). The building envelope for this lot averages 130 to 140
feet in width from lot line to the OHW level along the stream. When the required
100 foot structure and 10 foot side yard setbacks are applied the legal building
envelope becomes 20 to 30 feet wide and is not enough area to support a
residential structure with an individual septic treatment system that requires a
minimum 75 feet setback to the stream. This creates an unbuildable lot without
a setback variance to the OHW of the stream.
The Acting City Engineer and Water Resources Coordinator have recommended
the City should not grant a variance to the 3 foot separation in elevation due to
recent flood problems that have occurred in the City (Exhibit C). In addition, the
Prior Lake Spring Lake Watershed District has submitted a letter recommending
that the 3 foot minimum lowest floor elevation above the OHW be maintained to
protect the home owner's property and not jeopardize the long term
management of the outlet channel.
The DNR objects to the lower floor elevation variance because of the increased
potential for the tributary to experience more water in the future. The DNR does
not oppose the 30 foot setback variance request provided the site supports a
compliant septic system. They also encourage a vegetation barrier between the
creek and the proposed structure(see attached DNR comments).
VARIANCE HARDSHIP STANDARDS
1. Where by reason of narrowness, shallowness, or shape of a lot, or
where by reason of exceptional topographical or water conditions or
other extraordinary and exceptional conditions of such lot, the strict
application of the terms of this Ordinance would result in peculiar and
practical difficulties or exceptional or undue hardship upon the owner
of such lot in developing or using such lot in a manner customary and
legally permissible within the Use District in which said lot is located.
L:\99FI LES\99V AR\99-086\86V ARPT2.DOC

1. As described in the staff report two alternative legal building options are
available for a structure to be constructed on the subject property without the
requested elevation variance.
2. This hardship standard applies because the water conditions and setback
requirements make this an unbuildable lot without the requested setback
variance.
2. Conditions applying to the structure or land in question are peculiar to
the property or immediately adjoining property, and do not apply,
generally, to other land or structures in the Use District in which the
land is located.
1. The minimum lowest floor elevation applies to all properties within the
Shoreland District and is not peculiar to this property.
2. The need for an individual septic treatment system and required 75 foot
setback combined with the 100 foot structure setback on a pre-existing
platted lot of record that does not meet minimum area requirements today
appears to be a hardship.
3. The granting of the proposed Variance is necessary for the preservation
and enjoyment of a substantial property right of the owner.
1. Options are available for a structure that's compliant with the lowest floor
elevation code without disrupting the preservation and enjoyment of a
substantial property right of the owner.
2. A setback variance is necessary for the lot to be buildable.
4. The granting of the proposed Variance will not impair an adequate
supply of light and air to the adjacent property, unreasonably increase
the congestion in the public streets, increase the danger of fire, or
endanger the public safety.
1. The granting of the requested lowest floor variance may endanger the
residents because of the potential for flooding above the ordinary high water
level.
2. The setback variance does not appear to conflict with this hardship
standard.
5. The granting of the Variance will not unreasonably impact on the
character and development of the neighborhood, unreasonably
L:\99FILES\99V AR\99-086\86V ARPT2. DOC
Page 4
diminish or impair established property values in the surrounding area,
or in any other way impair the health safety, and comfort of the area.
1. The granting of the requested lowest floor variance may endanger the
residents because of the potential for flooding above the ordinary high-water
level.
2. The granting of the requested setback variance does not appear to conflict
with this hardship standard.
6. The granting of the proposed Variance will not be contrary to the intent
of this Ordinance and the Comprehensive Plan.
1. The granting of the proposed elevation variance is contrary to the intent of
this Ordinance and the Comprehensive Plan by placing the residents in a
situation of danger and property loss from potential flooding.
2. The setback variance does not appear to conflict with this hardship
standard as a legal alternative does not exist without the variance.
7. The granting of the Variance will not merely serve as a convenience to
the applicant but is necessary to alleviate a demonstrable undue
hardship or difficulty.
1. The granting of the lowest floor elevation variance will serve as a
convenience to the applicant and alleviate some difficulty for the development
of the lot.
2. The setback variance is necessary to alleviate a demonstrable undue
hardship for the development of the pre-existing lot of record.
8. The hardship results from the application of the provisions of this
Ordinance to the affected property and does not result from actions of
the owners of the property.
1. The application of the provisions of the lowest floor Ordinance is to
minimize property damage and avoid loss of life do to potential flooding.
2. The hardship results from the application of this Ordinance and does not
result from actions of the owners of the property.
9. Increased development or construction costs or economic hardship
alone shall not be grounds for granting a Variance.
L:\99FI LES\99V AR\99-086\86V ARPT2.DOC
Page 5
1. Depending on the design of the structure increased construction costs
may be incurred in order to comply with the Ordinance without the requested
elevation variance.
2. The setback variance meets this hardship criteria.
RECOMMENDATION:
1. The staff recommends the Planning Commission deny the requested lowest
floor elevation Variance on the grounds that all required criteria for approval have
not been met and the request is contrary to the City Ordinance and
Comprehensive Plan and a legal alternative exists to develop the vacant lot
without the variance.
2. The staff recommends the Planning Commission approve the structure
setback variance as all of the hardship standards are met and the pre-existing lot
of record will not be buildable without a structure setback variance.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Approve the variances requested by the applicant, or approve any variances
the Planning Commission deems appropriate in the circumstances.
2. Table or continue discussion of the item for specific purpose.
3. Deny the application because the Planning Commission finds a lack of
demonstrated hardship under the zoning code criteria.
ACTION REQUIRED:
1. Motion and second adopting Resolution 99-25PC denying a 2.7 foot variance
to permit a lowest floor elevation to be .3 feet instead of the required 3 feet
above the ordinary high water level of the unnamed tributary.
2. Motion and second adopting Resolution 99-26PC approving a 70 foot setback
variance to permit a 30 foot structure setback instead of the minimum 100 foot
structure setback to the ordinary high water level of the unnamed tributary.

RESOLUTION 99-25PC
A RESOLUTION DENYING A 2.7 FOOT VARIANCE TO PERMIT THE
LOWEST FLOOR ELEVATION TO BE .3 FEET INSTEAD OF THE REQUIRED
3 FEET ABOVE THE ORDINARY HIGH WATER LEVEL OF A TRIBUTARY
STREAM
BE IT RESOLVED BY the Board of Adjustment of the City of Prior Lake, Minnesota;
FINDINGS
1. Mark L. Leisener has applied for variances from the Zoning Ordinance in order to
permit the construction of a single family dwelling on property located in the R-S
(Rural Subdivision Residential) District and the SD (Shoreland Overlay) District at
the following location, to wit;
4525 Jackson Trail, Legally described as Lot 13, Block 2, Titus Second Addition
2. The Board of Adjustment has reviewed the application for variances as contained in
Case #99-086 and held hearings thereon on November 22, 1999, and December 13,
1999.
3. The Board of Adjustment has considered the effect of the proposed variance upon the
health, safety, and welfare of the community, the existing and anticipated traffic
conditions, light and air, danger of fire, risk to the public safety, the effect on property
values in the surrounding area and the effect of the proposed variance on the
Comprehensive Plan.
4. Because of conditions on the subject property and on the surrounding property, the
proposed variance will result in the impairment of an adequate supply of light and air
to adjacent properties, unreasonably increase congestion in the public streets, increase
the danger of fire, and danger to the public safety, unreasonably diminish or impair
health, safety, comfort, morals or in any other respect be contrary to the Zoning
Ordinance and Comprehensive Plan.
5. The legal alternative exists to build a structure that conforms to the Shoreland District
regulations requiring a minimum lowest floor elevation of three feet above the
ordinary high-water level. The applicant has control over the house design and shape,
such that the hardship created has been created by the applicant. Reasonable use of
the property exists with a revised building plan.

6. There is no justifiable hardship caused by the required lowest floor elevation as
reasonable use of the property exists without the granting ofthe variance.
7. The granting of the variance, as originally requested, is not necessary for the
preservation and enjoyment of a substantial property right of the applicant. The
variance will serve merely as a convenience to the applicant, and is not necessary to
alleviate demonstrable hardship. The factors above allow for an alternative structure
to be permitted without a variance.
8. The contents of Planning Case #99-086PC are hereby entered into and made a part of
the public record and the record of decision for this case.
CONCLUSION
Based upon the Findings set forth above, the Board of Adjustment hereby denies the
following variance for a future single family dwelling and attached garage (as shown in
attached Exhibit A);
1. A 2.7 foot Variance to permit the lowest floor elevation .3 feet instead of the required
3 feet above the ordinary high-water level of a tributary stream.
Adopted by the Board of Adjustment on December 13, 1999.

RESOLUTION 99-026PC
A RESOLUTION APPROVING A 70 FOOT VARIANCE TO PERMIT A 30
FOOT STRUCTURE SETBACK INSTEAD OF THE REQUIRED MINIMUM 100
FOOT STRUCTURE SETBACK FROM THE ORDINARY HIGH WATER
LEVEL OF A TRIBUTARY STREAM
BE IT RESOLVED BY the Board of Adjustment ofthe City of Prior Lake, Minnesota;
FINDINGS
1. Mark L. Liesener has applied for a variance from the Zoning Ordinance in order to
permit the construction of a single family dwelling located in the R-S (Rural
Subdivision Residential Use) District and SD (Shoreland) District at the following
location, to wit;
4525 Jackson Trail, legally described as Lot 13, Block 2, Titus Second Addition
2. The Board of Adjustment has reviewed the application for variances as contained in
Case #99-086PC and held hearings thereon on December 13, 1999.
3. The Board of Adjustment has considered the effect of the proposed variance upon the
health, safety, and welfare of the community, the existing and anticipated traffic
conditions, light and air, danger of fire, risk to the public safety, the effect on property
values in the surrounding area and the effect of the proposed variance on the
Comprehensive Plan.
4. Because of conditions on the subject property and on the surrounding property, it is
possible to use the subject property in such a way that the proposed variance will not
result in the impairment of an adequate supply of light and air to adjacent properties,
unreasonably increase congestion in the public streets, increase the danger of fire, and
danger to the public safety, unreasonably diminish or impair health, safety, comfort,
morals or in any other respect be contrary to the Zoning Ordinance and
Comprehensive Plan.
5. The pre-existing lot of record does not allow for the minimum structure setback
requirements of 100 feet from the ordinary high water level of a tributary stream and
does not provide for a legal building envelope for a residential dwelling. This
situation creates an unbuildable lot and a hardship with respect for the preservation
and enjoyment of a substantial property right ofthe owner.

AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER
6. There is justifiable hardship caused by the minimum structure setback to a tributary
stream required today and the platted lot of record. Reasonable use of the property
does not exist without the granting of the variance to permit a buildable lot for a
single family dwelling.
7. The granting of the Variance will not serve merely as a convenience to the applicant,
and is necessary to alleviate demonstrable hardship.
8. Without the requested Variance the vacant lot is unbuildable.
9. The granting of the variance is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a
substantial property right of the applicant. The variance will not serve merely as a
convenience to the applicant, and is necessary to alleviate demonstrable hardship.
10. The contents of Planning Case #99-086PC are hereby entered into and made a part of
the public record and the record of decision for this case.
CONCLUSION
Based upon the Findings set forth above, the Board of Adjustment hereby approves the
following variance for the proposed structure as shown in Exhibit A Revised:
1. A 70 foot Variance to permit a 30 foot structure setback instead of the required 100
foot structure setback to the ordinary high water level of a tributary stream.
The following are conditions which must be adhered to prior to the issuance of a building
permit for the proposed structure:
1. A revised certificate of survey depicting the 30 foot structure setback to the ordinary
high water level of 802.9 for the tributary stream.
2. All other City Codes and applicable agency regulations, including the Minnesota
Pollution Control Agency standards for private well and septic systems shall be met.
3. The variance must be recorded and proof of recording submitted to the Planning
Department within 60 days. Pursuant to Section 1108.415 of the City Code, the
variance will be null and void if the necessary permits are not obtained for the
proposed structure within one year after adoption ofthis resolution.
Adopted by the Board of Adjustment on December 13, 1999.

RE: 4510 Jackson Trail N.E. Lot 13, Block 2 Titus and Addition
Dear Pastor Liesener:
This letter is to clarify the list of requirements for the above project. In our phone conversation of
October 12, 1999, I understand that you are dissatisfied with the City staff's additional
requirements imposed upon the project. It is my understanding that additional. information was
required after City staffhad submitted an initial list of requirements. The City has been delegated
the responsibility for implementing city and state shoreland requirements. In a subsequent
conversation with the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources it was brought to staff's
attention that this lot was in the shoreland district. This requirement was presented to you at a
meeting you had with City staff on October 11, 1999 . We apologize to you for this omission.
The following requirements are needed to continue the plan review process:
1. Proof of recording of Resolution 99-21PC approving a variance for the lot to be buildable.
This document is to be recorded at Scott County.
2. The 19west floor elevation must be at a 805.9 feet elevation. The Prior Lake City Code Section
1104.308 (3) b. High Water Elevations: states in part, For rivers and streams, by placing the
lowest floor at least 3 feet above the ordinary high-water level. Sue McDermott, Acting City
Engineer, in conjunction with the Prior Lake Spring Lake Watershed District have established
that the top of the bank elevation of 802.9 is the ordinary high-water level for this lot.
In raising the proposed house to this elevation, adequate grading and drainage will need to be
maintained. By elevating the house, the driveway and adjacent grades will be steeper. Daylight
windows around the perimeter basement or retaining walls incorporated into the grading may be
an option for establishing a landscape that is aesthetically pleasing.

The S}lbmitted information will be reviewed for code compliance. City staff foresees no further
information will be required to be submitted. If you choose to redesign your project, the design
will need to be reviewed for approval. I hope this clarifies the issues that have been raised. I and
the staff want to work with you to reach a expeditious conclusion to these matters. If you have
any questions, please call me at 612-447-9851.

RE: City of Prior Lake DRC Review Checklist (Variance 99-086PC)
Dear Jane,
The Prior Lake-Spring Lake Watershed District staff has reviewed the proposed variance for the construction of a
future single family dwelling on the property adjacent to both Jackson Trail and the Prior Lake Outlet Channel. It
is the District's position that this Variance should not be approved. The lowest floor should be at least 3 feet
above the ordinary high-water level. Anything below that would jeopardize both the home owner's property and
the long-term management of the outlet channel.
If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to contact me @ 447 4166.

I've l~ sevenal diaalSSioDl with tbeapplicanr over the past couple of years regarding the redevelopmenl ollhisproperty.
T am pleased the proposed home location attempts to maximize the selback from the bluff, and encourage &be city to
favorably consider the stJ=t ~lback variance requested. I would recommend the 6.S foot by ~. 7 foot existing shed located
on the bluff be removed. If existing ~ and/or other elrilting improvements arc tllmaved (like concrete pads and
sl.q)S. wood steps. waJls, Cle.) site restoration and proper et'Oli1ion c:cU\trol will be important features to be addressed in a
building permit.
Any work proposad at or below elevation 904', including the mainr.enam:c. repair, or n;:plliKlement of the rewui.ng wall,
requires DNR nwicw. and possibly a permit.
4.510 JaduolI Trail N.E.. Mark Leilener
The materials I reviewed provided no rationale or explanation ofhardship for why the property cannot meet l.hc low floor
elevation requiremen1. DNR is not supportive of a "arianee from the low floor requirement. The subject watercourse,
which is aJlO part of the Prior Lake ouLlel system, i5 most liGly going to experience more water being convcycx1 in Ilu~
future. I had trouble reading 1he contour. off or the plan, but it appcar5 the plOJ>>sed low floor elevation af803.2' is 0.1
foot below the top of mad elevation, and leu than om: fOOl above the ordinal)' high water mark (top of channel bank).
I rec:ommcnd. the variance as proposed be denied, and the low floor II1CCl lhe n::quircmcnu of the ordiftalKe. The

Steven Horsman
16200 Eagle Creek Avenue S.B.
Prior Lake, MN 55372-1714
Dear Mr. Horsman:
This letter is to inform you that I have agreed to change the variance request from 802.9 to 803.2 for
the basement.
In addition I believe the Variance should be granted based on the following criteria for granting
Variances.
1. The shore land requirements placed on this property because of the water conditions result in
the lowest floor being very near the surface ofthe land. These requirements make it impossible
to build a usable home for my wife who has severe arthritic conditions.
2. The conditions dictated by the shore land regulations are uniquely peculiar to this property. So
much so that after 2 months of trying to determine the high water marks the city staffwas not
aware of these peculiar conditions.
3. Ifthe Variance is not granted the home cannot be used by my wife.
4. The granting of the Variance will not impair adjacent property, unreasonably increase the
congestion in the public streets, increase the danger of fire, or endanger public safety.
5. Ifthe Variance is not granted and the is house built in agreement with the Shore Land
regulations, the new home would have a reasonable impact on the character and development
of the neighborhood since it would be substantially higher than existing homes and would
demand removal of many trees from the Lot in order to provide backfilling of the basement
walls. The granting ofthe Variance would allow the new home to blend in with the existing
homes.
6. The granting of the proposed Variance will not be contrary to the intent of this Code and
Comprehensive Plan since in a meeting with City Officials in the middle of September I was
assured by all present that the proposed level of the basement floor would meet the city Code
and Comprehensive Plan and that there would be no additional requirements.
7. The application for a building permit was made early in August 1999. I had been assured prior
to this and after the application was made that a Building Permit would be granted at the
proposed basement level. Based on these promises a home was put up for sale, mortgage rates
locked in, and a home redesigned. Considerable time, effort and money were expended based
on promises made by people representing the City of Prior Lake.
_U _ _'_ _ ____ _ ___ __ _ __ _ ___ __ _... "__
8. The hardship results :from city officials at an extremely late date finding that the Shoreland
Regulations effected this property. Had this information been given to me in early June I
would not have bought the lot. But this information did not become available until the early
part of October.
I would also request the refund of my $150.00 paid when this second Variance became necessary. Had
this Shoreland Regulations requirements been given to me by City Representatives, I would have
combined this Variance with the earlier Variance.

B. Case File 99-86 (Continued) Mark Liesener, is requesting a variance to place

elevation of 3 feet above the ordinary high water level and a variance to permit a
structure setback less than the required 100 foot minimum setback from the
ordinary-high-water (OHL) level for the property located at 4510 Jackson Trail.
Zoning Administrator Steve Horsman presented the Planning Report dated December 13,
1999, on file in the office of the City Planner.
The Planning Department received a variance application from Mark Liesener for the
construction of a single family dwelling with attached garage. The applicant previously
applied for a variance to lot area that was approved by the Planning Commission. The
applicant applied for a Variance to permit the lowest floor level to be less than the
required 3 feet above the ordinary high water level and the Planning Commission tabled
this request at the public hearing held on November 22, 1999. The following variances
are being requested:
1. A 2.7 foot variance to permit the lowest floor elevation to be three tenths foot
(.3) instead of the required three (3) feet above the ordinary high water level.
2. A 70 foot Variance to permit a 30 foot structure setback instead of the required
100 foot setback from the ordinary high water level of a tributary stream.

Planning Conunission Meeting
December 13,1999
The Acting City Engineer, City Water Resources Coordinator, Prior Lake/Spring Lake
Watershed District and the Department of Natural Resources recommend denial of the 3
foot separation in elevation.
The staff recommended denial of the requested lowest floor elevation variance on the
grounds that all required criteria for approval had not been met. The request is contrary to
the City Ordinance and Comprehensive Plan and a legal alternative exists to develop the
vacant lot without the variance.
Staff recommended approval of the structure setback variance as all of the hardship
standards are met and the pre-existing lot of record will not be buildable without a
structure setback variance.
Criego requested clarification on the elevation. Horsman and Kansier responded there are
no studies and the elevation may be higher than the 802.9.
Comments from the public:
Applicant Mark Liesener said the 803.3 was a point actually agreed upon by City staff.
All agreed that 803.3 was a reasonable height for the lowest floor. From the day the plan
was submitted there was considerable discussion on the high water mark. He finds it
difficult to accept the floor level is dangerous. It was not an issue in September. After
the variance was granted, it was discovered the property is in the Shoreland District. His
attorney has a fax from the City stating he would be able to get a building permit. At no
time did the City mention any variances. He does not agree with the suggestions of
redesigning the home. He can't get an answer from the City on how to redesign. Now a
100 foot setback is required. Liesener said he is critical of staff and would like a "sorry"
from the City.
Comments from the Commissioners:
Stamson:
· Concurred with staff in opposing the request for floor elevation.
· Outlined objections at the previous meeting.
· This is a very serious variance. The home does not meet the criteria. It creates a
definite danger to the current resident and future resident.
. There are alternatives.
· Agreed to the 30 foot setback. The DNR has no objection.
Kuykendall:
. Apologized to applicant, but it does not change the rationale criteria for the variance.
. Supports staff's recommendation.
· Did go out to the site. Could see the flood area - it is obvious the water comes down
at a very terrific speed.
· Cannot in good conscience give a variance for the floor level. Applicant will have to
redesign the home.

. Applicant had to know when he bought the lot there was a creek bed.
. Prior Lake is unique. We have to stay with the criteria.
. Supports the side yard setback from the creek.
Criego:
. Agreed with Kuykendall and apologized for the process.
. Went to the site.
. The Commission would cause applicant additional disservice to allow this variance in
the flood plain. There are alternatives.
. Agreed with the setback variance to the creek.
. Suggest in the Motion mention the 803 elevation instead of the O-H-W.
Kuykendall:
. Lives on the lake and has knowledge of his neighbor's flooding problems.
. Concerned for future generations.
. Empathetic to applicant.
Stamson:
Markley Lake is a good example of homes being built where the homeowners never
dreamed they would end up with flooding problems.

RESOLUTION AS EXHIBIT A.

Stamson explained the appeal process before the City Council.
Liesener stated he would not appeal and asked if there are any other requirements if he
came in with another plan. Horsman said he had to see a survey and a plan before he
could make any comments. Kansier said according to the survey submitted by Liesener
the zoning issues are covered unless he changes the survey. Building Code issues are
separate. The Engineering Department has reviewed for grading.

_X_ YES NO
NOVEMBER 22, 1999
The Planning Department received a variance application from Mark Leisener for
the construction of a single family dwelling with attached garage (Exhibit A
Survey). The applicant previously applied for a variance to lot area that was
approved by the Planning Commission (Resolution 99-021 PC). The following
variance is being requested:
1. A 2.7 foot variance to permit the lowest floor elevation to be three tenths
foot (.3) instead of the required three (3) feet above the ordinary high
water level [Code Section 1104.308].
DISCUSSION:
The subject property, Lot 13, Block 2, Titus Second Addition, was platted
in 1974. The property is located within the R-S (Rural Subdivision Residential)
and Shoreland (SD) Districts. An outlet channel from Pike Lake runs along the
eastern property boundary. The area was not depicted on the City's Zoning Map
as Shoreland District. This was discovered by staff during the building permit
review process and was confirmed by the DNR as an unnamed tributary within
the Shoreland District.
The proposed structure has a ground floor area of 2,477 square feet plus an
attached 2.5 car garage of 527 square feet The attached floor plan (Exhibit B)

includes two bedrooms, 2.5 baths, kitchen/dining room, garden court, great
room, entry and computer room on the main level. The lower level is partially
finished with a pool room, wet bar, TV room, office, toy room and guest bedroom
and bath, and an unfinished mechanical/storage area and fruit cellar. In
addition, the lower level has a egress stairwell area to the side yard.
The Prior Lake City Code Section for Shoreland Regulations, specifically
1104.308 (3): High Water Elevations: b. reads in part, For rivers and streams, by
placing the lowest floor at least 3 feet above the ordinary high-water level. Sue
McDermott, Acting City Engineer, in concurrence with the Prior Lake/Spring Lake
Watershed District have established that the top of bank elevation of 802.9 feet
is the ordinary high-water level for the tributary on this lot.
The legal alternative to a variance for the proposed structure is to place the
lowest floor elevation at 805.9 feet. This can be achieved by either one of two
methods. One, by building a two story structure with a main level slab on grade,
or two, by raising the proposed elevation 2.7 feet and adding daylight windows in
the lower level and grading to provide adequate drainage. Option 2 will raise the
garage slab elevation to approximately 814.1 feet, and when compared with a
curb elevation of 806.64 feet will create a driveway slope of 8%, within the
maximum 10% allowable slope. In addition, the building height of approximately
25 feet would not exceed the maximum 35 feet allowable.
The proposed structure has a ground floor area of 2,477 square feet and an
attached garage of 527 sq. ft. for a total area of 3,004 square feet. When
combined with the driveway area of 1,404 sq. ft. the total impervious surface
coverage area of 4,408 square feet is approximately 13% of the total lot area of
34,628 square feet.
The Acting City Engineer and Water Resources Coordinator have determined,
with the recent flooding, the City should not even consider granting a Variance to
the 3 foot separation in elevation, as stated in the project review checklist
(Exhibit C).
The DNR objects to the lower floor elevation variance because of the increased
potential for the tributary to experience more water in the future (see attached
DNR comments dated November 17,1999).
The property owner has submitted a letter describing his needs for the variance
request (see attached letter dated November 8, 1999).
VARIANCE HARDSHIP STANDARDS
1. Where by reason of narrowness, shallowness, or shape of a lot, or
where by reason of exceptional topographical or water conditions or
other extraordinary and exceptional conditions of such lot, the strict
L:\99FI LES\99V AR\99-086\86V ARPT .DOC
Page 2
application of the terms of this Ordinance would result in peculiar and
practical difficulties or exceptional or undue hardship upon the owner
of such lot in developing or using such lot in a manner customary and
legally permissible within the Use District in which said lot is located.
As described in the staff report two alternative legal building options are
available for a structure to be constructed on the subject property without the
requested variance.
2. Conditions applying to the structure or land in question are peculiar to
the property or immediately adjoining property, and do not apply,
generally, to other land or structures in the Use District in which the
land is located.
The minimum lowest floor elevation applies to all properties within the
Shoreland District and is not peculiar to this property.
3. The granting of the proposed Variance is necessary for the preservation
and enjoyment of a substantial property right of the owner.
Options are available for a structure that's compliant with city code without
disrupting the preservation and enjoyment of a substantial property right of
the owner.
4. The granting of the proposed Variance will not impair an adequate
supply of light and air to the adjacent property, unreasonably increase
the congestion in the public streets, increase the danger of fire, or
endanger the public safety.
The granting of the requested variance may endanger the residents because
of the potential for flooding above the ordinary high water level.
5. The granting of the Variance will not unreasonably impact on the
character and development of the neighborhood, unreasonably
diminish or impair established property values in the surrounding area,
or in any other way impair the health safety, and comfort of the area.
The granting of the requested variance may endanger the residents because
of the potential for flooding above the ordinary high-water level.
6. The granting of the proposed Variance will not be contrary to the intent
of this Ordinance and the Comprehensive Plan.
The granting of the proposed variance is contrary to the intent of this
Ordinance and the Comprehensive Plan by placing the residents in a
situation of danger and property loss from potential flooding.
L:\99FI LES\99V AR\99-086\86V ARPT .DOC
Page 3
7. The granting of the Variance will not merely serve as a convenience to
the applicant but is necessary to alleviate a demonstrable undue
hardship or difficulty.
The granting of the Variance will serve as a convenience to the applicant and
alleviate some difficulty for the development of the lot.
8. The hardship results from the application of the provisions of this
Ordinance to the affected property and does not result from actions of
the owners of the property.
The application of the provisions of this Ordinance is to minimize property
damage and avoid loss of life to potential flooding.
9. Increased development or construction costs or economic hardship
alone shall not be grounds for granting a Variance.
Depending on the design of the structure increased construction costs may
be incurred in order to comply with the Ordinance without the requested
Variance.
RECOMMENDATION:
The staff recommends the Planning Commission deny the requested Variance
on the grounds that all required criteria for approval have not been met and the
request is contrary to the City Ordinance and Comprehensive Plan and a legal
alternative exists to develop the vacant lot without the Variance.
Upon review for the requested variance staff determined a 2nd variance will be
required regarding structure setback to the unnamed tributary (Code Sec.
1104.301 (3): Setback Requirements: Tributary Rivers - 100 Feet). This variance
will be published for a public hearing on December 13, 1999. The additional
variance has no bearing on this agenda item before the Planning Commission.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Approve the variances requested by the applicant, or approve any variances
the Planning Commission deems appropriate in the circumstances.
2. Table or continue discussion of the item for specific purpose.
3. Deny the application because the Planning Commission finds a lack of
demonstrated hardship under the zoning code criteria.
L:\99FI LES\99V AR\99-086\86V ARPT .DOC

ACTION REQUIRED:
Motion and second adopting Resolution 99-25PC denying a 2.7 foot variance to
permit a lowest floor elevation to be .3 feet instead of the required 3 feet above
the ordinary high water level.

Dear Mr. Horsman:
This letter is to inform you that I have agreed to change the variance request from 802.9 to 803.2 (or
the basement.
In addition I believe the Variance should be granted based on the following criteria for granting
V mances.
1. The shore land requirements placed on this property because of the water conditions result in
the lowest floor being very near the surface of the land. These requirements make it impossible
to build a usable home for my wife who has severe arthritic conditions.
2. The conditions dictated by the shore land regulations are uniquely peculiar to this property. So
much so that after 2 months of trying to determine the high water marks the city staff was not
aware of these peculiar conditions.
3. If the Variance is not granted the home cannot be used by my wife.
4. The granting of the Variance will not impair adjacent property, umeasonably increase the
congestion in the public streets, increase the danger of fire, or endanger public safety.
5. lfthe Variance is not granted and the is house built in agreement with the Shore Land
regulations, the new home would have a reasonable imp~t on the character and development
of the neighborhood since it would be substantially higher than existing homes and would
demand removal of many trees from the Lot in order to provide backfilling of the basement
walls. The granting ofthe Variance would allow the new hom.e to blend in with the existing
homes.
6. The granting of the proposed Variance will not be contrary to the intent of this Code and
Comprehensive Plan since in a meeting with City Officials in the middle of September I was
assured by all present that the proposed level of the basement floor would meet the city Code
and Comprehensive Plan and that there would be no additional requirements.
7. The application for a building permit was made early in August 1999. I had been assured prior
to this and after the application was made that a Building Permit would be granted at the
proposed basement level. Based on these promises a home was put up fOT sale, mortgage rates
locked in, and a home redesigned. Considerable time, effort and money were expended basedLon promises made by people representing the City of Prior Lake.

8. The hardship results from city officials at an extremely late date finding that the Shoreland
Regulations effected this property. Had this information been given to me in early J1U1e I
would not have bought the lot. But this information did not become available until the early
part of October.
I would also request the refund of my $150.00 paid when this second Variance became necessary. Had
this Shoreland Regulations requirements been given to me by City Representatives, I would have
combined this Variance with the earlier Variance.
Thank You.

Dear Mr. Horsman:
This letter is to inform you that I have agreed to change the variance request from 802.9 to 803.2 for
the basement.
In addition I believe the Variance should be granted based on the following criteria for granting
Variances.
1. The shore land requirements placed on this property because of the water conditions result in
the lowest floor being very near the surface of the land. These requirements make it impossible
to build a usable home for my wife who has severe arthritic conditions.
2. The conditions dictated by the shore land regulations are uniquely peculiar to this property. So

aware of these peculiar conditions.
3. If the Variance is not granted the home cannot be used by my wife.
4. The granting of the Variance will not impair adjacent property, unreasonably increase the
congestion in the public streets, increase the danger of fire, or endanger public safety.
5. If the Variance is not granted and the is house built in agreement with the Shore Land
regulations, the new home would have a reasonable impact on the character and development

o
B. Case File #99-86 Mark Leisener, is requesting a variance to place the lowest
floor at an elevation lower than the minimum required lowest floor elevation of 3
feet above the ordinary high water level for the property located at 4510 Jackson
Trail.
Zoning Administrator Steve Horsman presented the Planning Report dated November 22,
1999, on file in the office of the Planning Department.
The Planning Department received a variance application from Mark Leisener for the
construction of a single family dwelling with attached garage. The applicant previously
applied for a variance to lot area that was approved by the Planning Commission on
September 27, 1999. Liesener is now requesting a 2.7 foot variance to permit the lowest
floor elevation to be three tenths foot (.3) instead of the required three (3) feet above the
ordinary high water level.
The Acting City Engineer and Water Resources Coordinator have determined, with the
recent flooding, the City should not even consider granting a variance to the 3 foot
separation in elevation, as stated in the project review checklist.
In his November 17, 1999, letter to the City, Patrick Lynch, DNR Area Hydrologist,
objected to the lower floor elevation variance because of the increased potential for the
tributary to experience more water in the future.
The Watershed District sent a letter in opposition to the request.
The staff recommended denial of the request on the grounds all required criteria for
approval had not been met and the request is contrary to the City Ordinance and

Comprehensive Plan. A legal alternative exists to develop the vacant lot without the
vanance.
Upon review for the requested variance, staff determined a second variance will be
required regarding structure setback to the unnamed tributary. This variance will be
published for a public hearing on December 13, 1999. The additional variance has no
bearing on this agenda item before the Planning Commission.
Comments from the public:
Applicant Mark Liesener, stated he has been working with the City for almost six months.
He was assured by the Planning and Building Departments a building permit would be
issued. His attorney reviewed the lot and had some suspicion as to whether or not there
would be a permit granted. The attorney contacted the Planning Department and was
assured in answer by a fax, that a building permit would be issued on the lot. There was
no talk of a variance. The building permit was submitted in early August. The specific
level of 803.4 water mark is listed on the survey. That level was picked because it
seemed to be above the high water mark. The Building Department immediately
questioned the high water mark of the drainage ditch. They directed the question to the
Watershed District. He spent about a month working with the City and Watershed trying
to determine what would be the high water mark. The result was a meeting in late August
with city staff, Liesener and his builder where they concluded the high water mark to be
802.9. His question to the City was "Is there anything else that could possibly hold up a
building permit?" Then came the discussion for the septic. He was assured there was no
more requirements. Two months after the building application is in, staff found he is now
in the flood plain. Liesener met with Don Rye and Bob Hutchins on October 15.
Liesener said he became leery when staff wanted him to redesign a new home. He was
shocked when he received the report stating there is yet another variance.
Liesener said it is becoming extremely expensive working with the City of Prior Lake
because of their negligence. He has been lied to by the City, directly and deliberately.
This is not a new lot. It was platted by the City in 1974. He would not object ifthe City
would have told him in June, July or August, but 4 months later he was told he is in the
Shoreland District. The City's explanation was it did not appear on the map. He was told
he has two alternatives, one is to build a two story house. Liesener said his wife has
rheumatoid arthritis and a 9.5% grade on the driveway can not work. His second
alternative is to raise the existing house which will not fit into the neighborhood. In
reality he feels he has no alternatives. All this flooding information is new to him. It was
not brought up in the earlier variance request. Now, staffhas come up with an additional
variance for a 100 foot setback. He does not feel he should be charged for this variance
fee.

Planning Commission Minutes
November 22,1999
. There have been a lot of allegations, a lot of points raised. Can empathize with
applicant's frustration. On the defense of the staff, each item should be reviewed by
staff to respond. Some of the staff is not present. Do not want to delay, but owe it to
the City to respond.
. Points have been raised by the DNR and Watershed District.
. The applicant raised a lot of points.
. Horsman explained the Shoreland District overlay map does not show the area
whatsoever. During a permit review ofLiesener's application for a building permit,
staff had an idea there may be an unnamed tributary in the area but it was never
shown on the map. Staff checked with Pat Lynch of the DNR and confirmed this
unnamed tributary was part of the Shoreland District. McDermott said the DNR
considers it a wetland.
. Kansier explained the Shoreland District is laid out in two ways, a narrative form in
the ordinance as well as a map. When there is a discrepancy one looks at the narrative
for clarification. The graphs are just a graphic representation. Back in 1995 when the
maps were originally drawn the tributary was not included. The current staff did not
work for City of Prior Lake at that time and took it for granted the map was correct.
Staff discovered the error during the permit review process. There was a question of
could staff apply the provision of the ordinance that says one has to be three feet
above the ordinary high water mark. That provision is specifically in the Shoreland
District so when staffwas trying to decide ifthey could apply it or not, the City
looked at the narrative which lists a portion ofthe tributary. Staff called the DNR to
double check if that area should be included and they affirmed it was. Kansier stated
no staff member ever intentionally mislead or lied to Mr. Liesener. Staff tried with
the best of their ability, with the information available, to answer questions and
review this proposal. Ifthere is a mistake, staff tries to correct the situation,
. The City has to correct problems the best way they can and still meet the intent.
. A hardship has been created with the water. There are conditions that have to be met.
. Empathize with applicant and staff.
. Suggest to Commissioners to try to fit this into the intent of the law.
. McDermott said staff contacted the Prior Lake Spring Lake Watershed to obtain data
for the outlet channel in order to calculate the exact high water elevation. Staffwas
unable to gather that informcyion. Staff asked, but did not receive the information. In
the absence of the information, staff used DNR's recommendation to use the top of
bank as the high water elevation. The report reflects the results.
. The Watershed District is not an agency of the City.
. Recommend the Commissioners do not act on this matter and have the Watershed
come to the next meeting and respond.
Cramer:
. The applicant is owed some sort of an apology. Discussions of the stream came up
numerous times with the first variance. The Commissioners should have picked up
on it. The issue of the high water should have come up at the earlier variance.
. Agreed with Kuykendall. The Commissioners need to hear from the Watershed
District what the concern for future use is. It is not clear what the DNR intent is.

. In some ways the hardship is met, but in other ways the decision can affect the safety
and welfare of a large number of people outside this lot.
. McDermott explained it is part of the Prior Lake outlet channel.
. Encourage staff to get someone from the Watershed District to respond.
Stamson:
. Disagreed with Commissioners.
. Liesener gave an excellent job of outlining the process.
. This is a very serious variance. Building a low floor at an elevation that is prone to
flooding has serious consequences for the homeowner, neighboring properties and the
City in general.
. A flawed process does not warrant a variance.
. The numbers have been established. What exactly do the Commissioners need to
hear from the Watershed District? Do not understand what testimony is going to
change the information presented.
Cramer:
. Confused how this issue came about. It was not a significant waterway and now it is
a main waterway.
. How significant is this tributary? What are the affects?
Stamson:
. Does not support the variance. Open to continuing to the next meeting.
V onhof:
. The applicant has discussed the process since August citing a number of meetings.
. Recommend tabling to the next meeting.
. Direct staff to prepare a report chronologically outlining the process responding in
detail to the issues brought forth.
. Direct staff to request a report from the Watershed regarding the outlet capabilities
and the issues that come up from the elevations. Also include the DNR on the issues.
This should be done by the next meeting.
. Issues have come up that are not in the report. There is not enough information at this
point to make any determination.
. Would like to a decision based on more information.
Kuykendall:
. The objective is to make everything work.
. What is the tributary function. The agencies have to come up with alternatives.
Could it be deeper? Wider? What are other controls?
. Would like the Watershed to come forth with a presentation with sound criteria.
. Allegations have been made about staff and they should be able to respond.
. There are other homes below the water level and who pay through insurance or wet
furniture.

Planning Commission Minutes
November 22, 1999
Stamson:
. The homes below the ordinary high who have experienced problems are largely what
led to creating this ordinance. That is the point of the ordinance, to end those
situations.
. The Commissioners are being blinded by the process and the experience. Throw that
out and look at the numbers and it would be denied. It is a disservice to the applicant
by dragging this on, giving him the false hope that it would likely pass. Given the
numbers and not the emotion, there is little chance it will get passed.
McDermott pointed out the recommendation from the Watershed District not to allow
this variance. The City has a recommendation from the DNR not to allow this variance as
well. The City's own Water Resource Engineer is also recommending denial. All the
information is present. If the Commissioners want to hear their reasoning in person,
that's fine, but the agencies supplied the information in writing.
Stamson:
. The agencies have stated their reasons why they do not want to recommend approval.
Cramer:
. Stamson made a very good point. It is not necessary to drag this out.
. Main concern is every map available does not show this area in the Shoreland
District.
. Would like to see a map of where this new Shoreland district is and the outlet
channel. How does it effect the neighboring properties in the area?
. Agreed with Stamson, cannot see the Commission granting a variance below the three
foot elevation.
Liesener said the Watershed was extremely hesitant to get involved. He had to get the
outside engineer who works for the Watershed from another source. That engineer is the
one that said it would never get over the bank. At the meeting with City Staff it was
common sense that came up with the 802.9 water level. There was no study done and no
measurements taken. If the Commissioners look at the site they can see the water will not
go over the bank. Liesener said he was comfortable building at this level. At the
meeting, staffwas comfortable with the level.
Kuykendall questioned McDermott if the staff had been out to look at the site.
McDermott said she had been to the site, however, she was not at the meeting Liesener
referred to.
Kuykendall suggested a motion to table the matter and have the Commissioners go out to
the site and look at it from a bigger perspective.
McDermott responded that regardless of the elevation, the ordinance still says the lowest
floor should be 3 feet above the ordinary high water elevation.

MOTION BY CRAMER, SECOND BY STAMSON, TO APPROVE RESOLUTION 99-
25PC DENYING A 2.7 FOOT VARIANCE TO PERMIT THE LOWEST FLOOR
ELEVATION TO BE .3 FEET INSTEAD OF THE REQUIRED 3 FEET ABOVE THE
ORDINARY HIGH WATER LEVEL.
V ote taken indicated ayes by Cramer and Stamson. Nays by V onhof and Kuykendall.
MOTION DEADLOCKED.
Kuykendall recommended staff and other public agencies revisit the items raised and
respond to the allegations made. Kansier and McDermott explained the Commissioners
have the legal responsibility to grant or deny variances. The Watershed District provides
information, but has no authority or responsibility in issuing permits or variances. The
staff requested information from the Watershed District during this process and received
what information they had. It may be the Watershed District does not have specific data
on this site. Kansier explained the process.
MOTION BY KUYKENDALL, SECOND BY VONHOF, RECOMMENDING
COMMISSIONERS, STAFF AND OTHER PUBLIC AGENCIES REVISIT THE SITE
AND THE ITEMS RAISED. CONTINUE THE MATTER TO THE DECEMBER 13,

4510 Jackson Trail; Lot 13, Blk 2, Titus 2nd Addn.
I received a request from the property owner, Pastor Mark Liesener, to
confirm that the lowest floor shall be 805.9' elevation for a proposed
dwelling on the subject lot. In a copy of the letter dated 10/14/99, the city
established the lowest floor, as required under Subdivision Ord. 1104.308
(3,b) High Water Elevations. The 802.9' elevation was determined to be the
top of bank for the Pike Lake Tributary in one area of the lot, however, the
tributary bank appears to rise to the rear of the lot.
,Subsequent to this letter, staff changed the required lowest floor to be 80'3'
or l' above the road elevation over the culvert to avoid a problem in case of
a blocked culvert.
The property owner allowed two variances to expire on this property and
"He's Back" to reapply.
Please review at your earliest convenience as to your departments issues
with the proposed lowest floor, and I'll convey this info to the applicant.

Dear Mr. Liesener:
The City of Prior Lake received your letter regarding your property at 4510 Jackson
Trail, and the City letter dated 10/14/99, that addressed a couple of issues including the
lowest floor elevation required to develop your property with a single-family dwelling. I
will have to research this issue with the City Engineering Department and the
Department of Natural Resources prior to responding to your question in order to verify
the current conditions for this shoreland district. As soon as I have an answer you will
be forwarded the information.
In addition, the Scott County Environmental Health Department has taken over
jurisdiction for all septic systems in the City of Prior Lake. I recommend you contact this
department and verify the ability to acquire a County permit because the City will not
issue a building permit for your structure without an approved Individual Sewage
Treatment System Permit.
Enclosed you will find a variance application to be submitted for the two variances that
expired in 2001. Please read the application instructions as they have changed since
your original application was submitted in 1999.
If you should have questions regarding this matter, call my direct phone number at 447-
9854 between 8:00 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, and I will assist you.
The City appreciates your patience on this matter.
Sincerely,
- 01

Dear Mr. Horsman:
Enclosed find copy of a letter dated October 14, 1999,
in which the lowest floor elevation for a home on 4510 Jackson Trail N.E.
must be at a 805.9 feet elevation. Is this still in effect today?
Please inform,1at your earliest convenihence so I can
continue to plan building on this lot.
Thank you.

RE: Variance Hearings, 15432 Red Oaks Road (Marvin Mirsch, Sr.) and 4510 Jackson Trail NE (Mark Leisner)
Dear Mr. Horsman:
I am in receipt of the materials you forwarded regarding the public hearing scheduledfor Monday, November 22, before
the Prior Lake Planning Commission, to consider two variances within shore1and areas. Please provide the following
DNR comments to the Planning Commission for consideration at the upcoming hearing.
15432 Red Oaks Road, Marvin Mirsch, Sr.
I've had several discussions with the applicant overthe past couple of years regarding the redevelopment of this property.
I am pleased the proposed home location attempts to maximize the setback from the bluff, and encourage the city to
favorably consider the street setback variance requested. I would recommend the 6.5 foot by S. 7 foot existing shed located
on the bluffbe removed. If existing structure and/or other existing improvements are remOved Qike concrete pads and
steps, wood steps, walls, etc.) site restoration and proper erosion control will be impOrtant features to be addressed in a
building permit
Any work proposed at or below elevation 904', including the maintenance, repair, or replacement of the retaining wall,
requires DNR review, and possibly a permit
,~
4510 Jackson Trail N.E., Mark Leisener
The materials I reviewed provided no rationale or explanation ofhardship for why the property cannot meet the low floor
elevation requirement. DNR is not supportive of a variance from the low floor requirement The subject watercourse,
which is also part of the Prior Lake outlet system, is most likely going to experience more water being conveyed in the
future. I had trouble reading the contours off of the plan, but it appears the proposed low floor elevation of 803.2' is 0.1
foot below the top of road elevation, and less than one foot above the ordinaIy high water mark (top of channel bank).
I recommend the variance as proposed be denied, and the low floor meet the requirements of the ordinance. The
applicant has the option of providing the technical data which identifies the calculated l00-year flood elevation, one foot
above which the low floor could be set. Until such time that data become available, I find no justification for variance.
Please call me at 651-772-7917 if you have any questions.

RE: 4510 Jackson Trail N.E. Lot 13, Block 2 Titus and Addition
Dear Pastor Liesener:
This letter is to clarify the list of requirements for the above project. In our phone conversation of
October 12, 1999, I understand that you are dissatisfied with the City staffs additional
requirements imposed upon the project. It is my understanding that additional information was
required after City staffhad submitted an initial list of requirements. The City has been delegated
the responsibility for implementing city and state shoreland requirements. In a subsequent
conversation with the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources it was brought to staffs
attention that this lot was in the shore land district. This requirement was presented to you at a
meeting you had with City staff on October 11, 1999 . We apologize to you for this omission.
The following requirements are needed to continue the plan review process:
1. Proof of recording of Resolution 99-21PC approving a variance for the lot to be buildable.
This document is to be recorded at Scott County.
2. The lowest floor elevation must be at a 805.9 feet elevation. The Prior Lake City Code Section
1104.308 (3) b. High Water Elevations: states in part, For rivers and streams, by placing the
IOl'.'est floor at least 3 feet above the ordinary high-water level. Sue McDermott, Acting City
Engineer, in conjunction with the Prior Lake Spring Lake Watershed District have established
that the top of the bank elevation of 802.9 is the ordinary high-water level for this lot.
In raising the proposed house to this elevation, adequate grading and drainage will need to be
maintained. By elevating the house, the driveway and adjacent grades will be steeper. Daylight
windows around the perimeter basement or retaining walls incorporated into the grading may be
an option for establishing a landscape that is aesthetically pleasing.
