City Planner Graser discussed Chapter 6, 6 -1 Conformance to Applicable Rules and
Regulations; 6 -2 Streets; and 6 -3 Alleys. Due to the fact that Engineering is
working on a Public Works Design Manual which will affect this ordinance, they
have not had a chance to review the ordinance.
Chairman Loftus awed this item to the foot of the Agenda to keep the next item
on schedule.
At this time a 3 minute recess was called.
The meeting resumed at 8:38 P.M.
ITEM IV - A COMITIONAL USE PAST R9Qr =P RY JWY RAPE =.
Diane Ni®er and Jody Rafferty, applicants, were present to answer questions.
Diane Nimmer commented that the request is to consider a 'Limited Retreat'. The
operation would consist of weekend sessions for no more than 12 people. The
rest and relaxation programs would take place within the hone. Some outside
activities say take place. Jody Rafferty commented that the house plan was to
the most part sufficient to accommodate the retreat. The applicants propose to
finish the basement and other minor remodeling. A study to determine the
capacity of the septic system would be done if the City requires it. Parking
will have to be expanded. Large shrubs would be planted to screen the cars from
nei,: lborhood. I£ parking cannot be resolved then a limo service would provide
transportation from a location elsewhere.

City Planner Graser counted per memo dated December 15, 1996.
Chuck Pavlish commented that stress was put or. him with this request. This
would decrease his privacy with traffic increase and people wandering outside.
Also he would like the present zoning to stay in this area.
Mike Di Paolo dented that he would like to see an annual review plus the
permit revoked if expanded beyond this use. Also parking could be a problem and
this use is out of character in the area.
Elaine Res cemented that the private aspect of single family area is important
to then and would like to see that remain.
The Planning Commissioners had concerns over the following:
1. Number of people working at the facility and as guests.
2. The number of parking spaces required and appropriate screening.
3. The size of the septic system.
4. Consistency of the use with area character.
5. Neighbors.
6. The impact this use may have on the conceptualized development
framework for Canty load 42.
7. Nw this use could establish a commercial foothold resulting in a
compromise of attitudes towards long range planning for questionable
short range benefits.

EVERGREEN
EVERGREEN, INC
Our purpose is to provide a program and environment that looks at
individual stress reduction and personal well beirg through physical, emotional
and nutritional balance, designed primarily with women in mind in today's fast
paced and changing society.
DESCRUMON
Evergreen, Inc. is a retreat facility and program designed primarily as a
time -out place that considers how stress in our daily lives can be managed
through a wellness program. By combining the aspects of health and
pampering, both well -being and self- concept are enhanced, thereby reducing
some of the stress that all of us face, and rather than stress managing us, we
learn to manage it and feel better about ourselves.
This program has been geared primarily for women who today face the
stressful aspects of both the home front as well as the work force, but who also
know that it is important to consider some needs for self. The program has
been designed as a week -end retreat with the opportunity to reflect on the
aspects of good health through exercise, nutrition and relaxation. It also
includes the areas of pampering that most women find relaxing and beneficial
to their personal fitness. These will include manicures, pedicures, massage, as
well as learning yoga techniques. Suggestions for improved fitness will be
available through follow -up materials prc� to each participant. In addition,
activities will include speakers designed for their particular interest to women
as well as reading materials and time for walks around the 5.5 acres or just
plain time to visit with other participants or to be alone. These activities will
be combined with attractive surroundings, pleasantly prepared nutritious meals,
and an experienced staff to deal with program and participant needs.
PROGRAM
Participants arrive w.. Friday evening, and after a light meal of soup and
fruit and cheese and also the opportunity to become acquainted with others,
they will have a short orientation session. During this session, they will learn
about activities for the weekend, and about their individually planned
program. They will then learn some specific relaxation techniques that will
help them for the weekend program as well as being beneficial in their
everyday life. The remainder of the evening will be essentially tree tune; time
to become further acquainted with other participants, the facilities and stail or
just a time for sitting by the fire or reading in one's room.
Saturday morning begins around g:00 A.M. for the early risers with a
stretching class. Others may want to enjoy a walk around the grounds, and still
others may enjoy the opportunity to just relox longer than usual. Breakfast will
be served around 9:15 A.M. consisting of muffins and fresh fruit, coffee, tea or
other juice. The Saturday program includes individual pampering activities,
additional exercise classes and an opportunity to enjoy the fellowship of others
at the juice bar, the jacuzzi, or in the living room around the fireplace. Lunch
and dinner are served around 1:00 P.M. and 7:00 P.M. respectively, with all
participants enjoying the airy dining room and carefully planned meals.
Nutritionally planned snacks and mineral water are provided throughout the
day. After dinner, the speaker or program or discussion takes place, providing
everyone the opportunity to participate.
Sunday activities include more exercise programs, a brunch and a time to
reflect on the activities during the retreat, as well as an opportunity to learn
how to use the follow -up materials provided. These Sunday activities are
geared as a sort of re -entry program. Stress still occurs, and daily functions
still are waiting at home and work. Part of the overall purpose is to provide
some tools and skills to deal with these activities on a daily basi -. Participants
will leave around noon or 1:00 P.M., depending on their personal schedules,
having enjoyed the opportunity to spend some time out, be pampered, and learn
how to deal with stress and hopefully the opportunity to make new friends, as
well as enhancing one's self image.

MARKETING AND SALES
The Evergreen program has been developed by the partners keeping in
mind their own skills, training and overall ability to market and sell.
Research was done by the partners, regarding overall "wellness" programs
and facilities around the country, both by individuals and companies. Tnis
program is based on a combination of the concept cf Spas and "Wellness ".
Spas have been in existence for many years, particularly in the South and
Southwest regions of the United States. Time and money have been a
consideration in the development of this program. The partners believe that a
quality local program will be attractive to area residents by eliminating travel
time and costs as well as long term times often required at Spas in other areas.
V. ei.rra s� bas corstdered b} looking at insurance cw erages and programs
%,w given to empfoyees that increase productivity in the work forte by
re<: r ing sick days. A recent study called "Stay Alive and Well ", conducted by
Blue Cross -8tue Shield of Indiana and funded by the Kellogg Cereal Company
had fn^dtngs that indicate that prowdmg a preventative health pragrani tot
ernptoyees actuai y gives a return of $2.51 tar every dollar invested toward this
effort. Pertictpanes in the program were tracked for absenteeism rates and
costs Ion lost tun=e and lost production. The program focused on health
education promoting activities that suppo. l life style changes of diet, exercise,
end reduction of smaktng and stress Evergreen's program �onsideta tine
of health awareness and the possibility of follow -up through materials provided
on a take-home basis.
Marketing and safes will take place through both individuals and
companies. A test market conducted by the principals of Evergreen provided
some aspects to consider when marketing this program.
Some women who nay have some reluctance to make a financial
commitment of this nature on their own would encourage the aspect of
receiving a program like this as a gift.
Professional women have indicated that they need something of this
nature and are anxious to sign un as soon as the program is in existence.
Feedback in the market study also indicated that women would use the
facilities approximately three times a year.
Companies will be approached by indicating that this is a benefi&J
`perk' for personnel. Both the company and the employee benefit by overall
health improvement, and this can be one way to provide a program that works
for both.
In addition to the week -end programs, single day activities during the
week may be offered as an opportunity to participate in mini- programs to learn
about the facilities and to provide activities for persons who find it impossible
to take time out for the entire week -end.
Brochures, visiting local women's groups, open houses, TV appearances,
gift packages, and special programs for companies will all be part of the
marketing program while all of this will be approached actively and
aggressively, word of mouth advertising will probably be the best form of
marketing and selling. Both partners are committed to a quality program that
will sell and be beneficial to all participants, thereby helping to ensure the
repeat business needed for this type of program.

Properties. Staff recommended that City assess a charge of $4,0000 based upon
an application of a standard 80 foot lot multiplied by $60.00 per front foot.
The justification for the lesser anrount is the fact that Mr. Schweich has
already paid for the stubs which normally would have been included in the
assessment. Discussion followed. Ted Schweich presented his views and
requested Council to investigate the possible payment of assessments on this
property in 1973.
MOTION MADE BY FITZGERRLD, SHOONUBD BY SCOTT, TO ACCEPT STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS TO
APPROVE AVAILABILITY CWME OF $4, 800.00 BASED UPON AN APPLICRTION OF A STAIIDAAD
80 FT. LOT MULTIPLIED BY $60.00 FRONT POOP, WITH STIPHATION THAT IN THE UAW
THIS CHARGE HAS BEEN ER[CREOUSLY APPLIED IT BE BROU( T BEFORE THE COUNCIL MID
ABATED.
Discussion followed. Ted Schweich asked that the money be held in escrow
instead of paying it directly to the City.
Upon a vote taken, ayes by Andren, Fitzgerald, Larson, Scott, and White, the
motion passed unanimously.
The next item on the agenda was consideration of Chapter 509 - Storm Water
Ruoff and hater Quality Management Plan drafted by the Prior Lake - Spring Lake
Watershed District for comments by the Council to be forwarded to the Prior
Lake -fixing Lake Watershed District for incorporation into the ManageRAent Plan.
City Engineer Larry Anderson snamerised the extensive document for the Council
along with changes and comments the Engineering Staff felt were necessary.
Council directed Engineer Anderson to request s two week extension in order for
Council to review the document more thoroughly before ccmaoenting.
The next item on the agenda was consideration of Feasibility Studies for an
additional Water Tower and Well.
City Engineer Anderson presented the need for consideration of a new water
tower. The 1986 Capital Improvement Program included in the 1987 projects an
additional water tower and well for the City of Prior Lake water system. The
City's recent growth rate is placing an increased demand on the existing water
system and will affect the City's ability to provide adequate water service.

AGENDA N 4
TO: PLANNING COMMISSION
FROM: HORST GRASER
RE: JODY RAFFERTY - CDDITI0IZL USE
DATE: DECEMBER 15, 1986
The applicant has applied for a Conditional Use Permit to conduct a "Limit
Retreat' business on 5.1 acres of land adjacent to and north of County Road 42.
On November 17, 1986 the City Council rezoned approximately half the subject
site to agricultural, which in accordance with a recent zoning ordinance
amendment, allows Limited Retreats as a Conditional Use. The definition of a
Limited Retreat is as follows:
A private, multipurpose a viroement for use by individuals and private
groups for the purpose of conferences, workshops, seminars, meditation or
training sessions. For the purposes of these regulations, a limited retreat
shall not include restaurants for the general public, nor be eligible for a
liquor license.
The applicant's proposal is to convert the existing single family home to a
service orientated business. The retreat is geared to women in stressful
situations and haw to cope with those situations. Although the attached program
description did not mention any number of participants, it is assumed that
physical limits of the single family home will keep the retreat on a small
scale. One to two people will be residing in the home parmanently to handle
maintenance and other related duties. The majority of the program is designed
for weekends, although weekday programs may be a possibility. Exterior
indications of the retreat will be limited to increased parking and perhaps more
open space use by guests. On the inside of the hoe same remodeling will be
required to facilitate the program needs but no exterior additions are
requested.
The subject site consists of 5.1 acres of land located adjacent to and north of
County road 42. The existing single family have is located about 500 feet north
of County Road 42 and or about in the center of the site. The site is part of
the rural service area and is not expected to receive utilities until after the
year 2000. The home has a functional septic system, however, the size of the
system or whether it can acco®odate the retreat is not known. The driveway
which provides access to the home is also shared by the DiPaolo family residing
about 700 feet to the north of the subject home. Other proximity haves are to
the west and northeast.
(612) 447- 4230 4629 DAKOTA STREET S.E. P.O. BOX 359 PRIOR LAKE, MINNESOTA 55372
Two important issues confronting the Ca mission are how this is affecting the
character of the area and what long range planning considerations it will have
on County Road 42. The character of the subject area can best be described as
rural residential which is the environment desired by the applicant and
necessary due to the nature of the proposal. Although the r ysical environment
will not change, I believe the area h�menwner attitudes wi - - change. Simply
because the proposal is a business and not a family and there will be constant
visual reminders, such as more cars in the drive, strangers w�lking, a sign, arc]
perhaps other hearings to expand.
The County .Road 42 issue is very broad and not completely understood by many
people. It is virtually impossible to isolate bits pieces of this strip without
addressing the whole.
A correlary to this issue is Highway 13 about 25 years a- o. I would presume
marry independent decisions were made to address uses fcf this strip all in the
best interest of the City. But looking at all the decisions cumulatively, the
growth along this strip was misguided. Once the ball is rolling it is hard to
stop.
Perhaps this use will not have any influences on growth attitudes for County
Road 42 but one thing we can be assured of there will be more in the near
future.
Staff has no objections to this proposal subject to the following:
1. Verify that septic system has capxity to accommodate the use.
2. Provide adequate on-site parking. The number of spaces to be
determined ace the maximum occupant load is determined.
3. No exterior expansi occur.
4. In the event the use fails, the hone must revert to a single family
home.
DATE: January 2, 1967
TO: City Council
FROR: Borst Graser
RE: Rafferty/Dimmer Parking and Screening Study
The tree and shrub mass proposed to screen the parking lot looks
adequate along the driveway which forms the west boundary of this
property. It does not, however, do very much to screen views from
County Road 42. while the slope which adjoins the marsh is covered with
trees, it does appear to be reasonable to add six more evergreen trees
in the grass parcel south of the future parking lot.
The plan and character study look <ood, but, a conditional use
application usually requires more specificity. For example the plant
materials which make up the deciduous shrub uesr and the evergreen
screen should be identified. These decisions rest be made before the
plan is implemented, and the City needs to know exactly what is being
approved. In addition, the size of materials used are important. The
City in this instance will need assurance that the planted site will in
the not too distant future lock like the character study. The Planning
Staff recommends balled and burlaped evergreen stock at least six feet
in height.
One further comment which may be important is that the site plan shows
plantings on the driveway which adjoins the west side of the site. The
developer should check the legal description of this property to be sure
that this is an option.

The Common Council of the City of Prior Lake met in regular session on Monday,
at 7:30 p.m. in the City Council Chambers. Present were Mayor Andren,
CouncilmmMers Fitzgerald, Larson, Soott, White, City Manager McGuire, Assistant
City Manager Ummeht, City Planner Graser, and City Attorney Kassel.
Mayor Andren called the meeting to order and asked everyone to rise for the
pledge of allegiance.
The minutes of the January 5, 1987 meeting were reviewed by Council.
It was noted that a motion to adjourn the public hearing had inadvertently been
omitted from the minutes and should be added to them. Also a note of
clarification regarding the appointment of the City Attorney; "This would allow
the Council to review the performance anytime they deem appropriate but not
necessarily on a yearly basis'.

CORRECTIONS AS S171M. 11111 Ol
Upon a vote taken, ayes by Andren, Fitzgerald, Larson, Sbott, and White, the
motion passed unanimously.
Steve Mattson of Juran and Moody presented an informational Manion on the
concept of the City entering into a joint powers agreement with other Minnesota
Cities to sell a large issue of taxable revenue bonds. Be explained the benefit
of this concept to be the ability of local developers or current businesses of
Prior Lake to draw down this bond issue for lag term financing of hard assets.
This allows the City an opportunity to provide developers with a competitive
interest rate over a long term period. Discussion followed on the positive and
negative benefits this concept would have an the City.
By general consensus of the Council, Mr. Mattson was requested to return in two
weeks with more detailed information on this proposal.

MINOPES OF THE PRIOR CITY COUNCIL January 12,1987..
The next item on the agenda was consideration of the Jody Rafferty Conditional
Use Permit for a limited retreat on 5.1 acres of land adjacent to and north of
County Road 92.
Councilmember Larson withdrew from the discussion because he had served on the
Planning Commission when the petitioner applied for this permit.
City Planner Graser presented the issues to the Council. He stated that the
important issues confronting the Planning Commission are how this is affecting
the character of the area, and what long range planning considerations it will
have on County Road 42. Graser stated Staff has no objections to this proposal
subject to the following conditions to be implemented by the cw+ner:
1. Verify that septic system has capacity to accommodate the use.
2. Provide adequate on -site parking. The number of spaces to be
determined once the maximum occupant load is determined.
3. No exterior expansion occur.
4. In the event the use fails, the home must revert to a single
family home.
Discussion was opened to the public. Norb Traxler, representing the petitioner,
Jody Rafferty, explained their position and requested approval of the permit.
Elaine Res and Chuck Pawlish spoke in opposition to the issuance of the
Conditional Use Permit for a limited retreat.
Councilnember white stated he thought it was a good use for the area since
retreats are normally in a rural setting where it is quiet and peaceful, and he
is in favor of the retreat. Councilor amber Fitzgerald questioned whether
conditional use pewits are transferrable. City Manager McGuire replied that if
there is any substantial changes in the permit, the Council would have a ohm=
to review it again. Attorney Traxler slated his client would concede to the
stipulation that upon sale of the property it would revert to a Non Conditional
use, and his client would be willing to aake any enbaamments agreed upon by
both parties, such as number of parking spaces, adequate screening, etc. It was
the consensus of the Colncilmepbecs that petitioner Rafferty and the
surrounding neighbors work out a compromise on site plans (number of parking
Spaces, plant screening, etc) and return to the Council with the results of
their efforts on February 2, 1967 at 7:35 p.m.
A five minute recess was called by Mayor Andren at 9:20 p.m.
Meeting was called back to order by Mayor Andren.

Item i6 on the agenda was a discussion on a Special Census by Assistant City
Manager Unnacht. City Staff's time will be limited except for administrative
tasks. Sixteen people will be hired by the Federal Bureau of Census for the
purpose of conducting the enumeration. It will be the responsibility of the
City to communicate the need to the public for sufficient census takers to
complete the task. The census is tentatively scheduled to begin around the
first week of March, 1967. No action was taken on this matter by the Council as
it was for informational purposes only. }
The next item on the agenda was Indefinite Assessments for Lot 1, Block 1, 2nd
Addition to Lakeside Manor.
City Planner Graser outlined the issues in this matter, stated the budget impact
on the City and the alternatives. Staff recommended Council assess the
principal portion only, of $2,340.00 and waive the interest.
Discussion followed. Lee Urness presented his facts and requested that he felt
the City should waive the assessment completely as he had asked for information
on the assessment on the property before the purchase and was told there were no
assessments at that time. Finance Director r
asses ant until the lot mhs a +L City Attorney Kassel stated that 1K Mr. 6 ~
Urnese obtained a formal title search or assessment search this assessment would
then have shown up, and if it had not he would then have recourse against the
search company, but miler the Tort Liability Law the City could not be held
responsible for erroneous information supplied by an employee in this instance.
Mayor Andren stated that while she sympathized with Mr. Urness and understood
his position, she didn't think the assessment or the interest should be waived
and this is a consistent policy of the City on assessments, and, therefore, the
entire amount should be paid.

This is in reply to your letter of 14 Jan. 19a7. 1 would
like to see a "site plan" drawn to scale showing location of car
parking spaces, number of parking spaces, and location of screen
of evergreen trees to hide cars from view of adjoining neighbors.
I would also like to review those activities that would be
conducted outside the house and any external changes to the site.
At this point in time I have no objections to outside activities
and site changes that have been presented so far.
I will wait to hear from you on time and place of get -

MINUTES
DECEMBER 18, 1986
The December 18, 1986 Prior Lake Planning Caomission meeting was called to order
at 7:40 P.M. by Chairman Loftus. Present were Commissioners Arnold, Larson,
Roseth, Wells (arrived at 8:10 P.M.), and City Planner Graser.

BY LARSDN.
Upon a vote taken, ayes by Arnold, Larson, Loftus, Roseth; Wells absent; the
motion carried.
City Planner Grayer discussed Chapter 6, 6 -1 Conformance to Applicable Rules and
Regulations; 6 -2 streets; and 6 -3 Alleys. Due to the fact that Engineering is
working on a Public Works Design Manual which will affect this ordinance, they
have not had a chance to review the ordinance.
Chairman Loftus moved this item to the foot of the Agenda to keep the next item
on schedule.
At this time a 3 minute recess was called.
The meeting resumed at 8:38 P.M.
Diane Nimmer and Jody Rafferty, applicants, were present to answer questions.
Diane Minmer commented that the request is to consider a "Limited Retreat'. The
operation would consist of weekend sessions for no more than 12 people. The
rest and relaxation programs would take place within the home. Some outside
activities may take place. Jody Lafferty c®mnted that the house plan was to
the most part sufficient to accommodate the retreat. The applicants propose to
finish the basement and other minor remodeling. A study to determine the
capacity of the septic system would be done if the City requires it. Parking
will have to be expanded. Large shrubs would be planted to screen the cars from
neighborhood. If parking cannot be resolved then a limo service would provide
transportation from a location elsewhere.

City Planner Graser commented per memo dated December 15, 1986.
Chuck Pavlish commented that stress was put on him with this request. This
would decrease his privacy with traffic increase and people wandering outside.
Also he would like the present zoning to stay in this area.
Mike D1Paolo commented that tie would like to see an annual review plus the
permit revoked if expanded beyond this use. Also parking could be a problem and
this use is out of character in the area.
Elaine Res commented that the private aspect of single family area is important
to then and would like to see that remain.
The Planning Commissioners had concerns over the following-
1. Number of people working at the facility and as guests.
2. The comber of parking spaces required and appropriate screening.
3. The size of the septic system.
4. Consistency of the use with area character.
5. Neighbors.
6. The ispict this use may have on the conceptualized development
framework for ODunty Road 42.
7. Haw this use could establish a commercial foothold resulting in a
compromise of attitudes towards long range planning for questionable
short range benefits.
