IXie to staff involvsment in other wcdc project time re
quired with 73-1 Sewer assessments, the Zoning Ackninis-
txator offered apology to the Planning Ocnmission for
not having been able to oonplete the suninarization of
information ocnoexning the Cheyenne Land Oonpany re zoning
request and Eisinger Landfill Application.
e
The Planning Ocnmission proceeded to review the request
of Hartley LaJoy for a street side property line variance
for the oonstructicn of a detached garage. At the site
was an existing slab approximated at 20 foot from the
road. By this cement slab was a well and if a new slab
were required it would necessitate the removal of trees
and greenery and cut off the view from tiie house. He
stated that there were no objections to the plan by the
neighbors. Ihe menbers of the Oomnission, \Atd viewed the
property, said that there w^ oonparable garages in the
neighborhood. Ihe Zoning AAninistrator noted that Mr.
laJoy was having a survey made. The 2qpplicant then pro
duced tile survey stating that he had just received it.
Examination showed that the existing slab was at zero
lot line and in conflict with the application presented
to the Ocnmission. Due to the survey being in variance
with the original request, the matter was tabled until
the applicant could si±mit an alternative plan.
Mr. & Mrs. James Morava appeared in srqpport of their
request for a variance on lot width and lot area for
their tract at 910 Dakota Avenue. The parcel is 160 ft
wide at the prcp-ised location of the house and has a
total area of 31,800 sq. ft. Zoning codes require lots
of 200* width and 2 acres in size. Presently at the
site is a shed having a concrete slab, about 24' x 14',
that they planned to convert into a garage. The appli
cant has subnitted perculaticn tests are in the
hands of the Village Engineer. Mr. Moravi^ noted that
all the lots surrounding their property have been built
ugcKi and without a varLanoe th^ would be left with an
unbuildable but legally platted zesldentied lot. Dunlap
moved, Guthrie seconded, that the Plemning Ccmnission
reocmmend to the Oouncil the ^prcval of the variance
application of James Moravel for 910 Dakota Avenue s\±>-
ject to a favorable report from the Vlllcige Engineer
concerning the perculaticn test and with the stipula
tion that the shed located at the site would not be
used as a second living quarters. Motion, Ayes (7) -

wetlands at the site and adl things conformed to Orcno

Applicant's Arvid Ledln, of 2230 Bayvle»/ Place, and Dale
Matson, 2200 Bayview Place, petitioned for the splitting
of a vacant lot betMsen their respective properties. The
^fdividad portions would be ocnibined to increase the size
of their present undersized lots. The Conmission viewed
this as an inprovement over the present situation. Guthrie
moved, Pes^ seconded, that the Planning Oamnission recom
mend to the Council approval of the request of Dale Matson
and Arvid Ledin to divide Parcel 9510, Rearrangement of
Wallaces Addition, and combine one part with Parcel 9900,
Rearrangement of Wallaces Additiciy and the other part with
Parcel 4510, Wallaces Addition to the Village of Minne
tonka Beach. Motion, Ayes (7) - Nays (0).
North Star Meudna, represented by Paul Kenpf, presented
their proposal for Building Permit site approval and rip
rap. This was originally proposed in 1973 but due to the
roGratoriim, never received a final decision. Tlie building,
30' X 105* X 30* hi^, was to be built of steel construc
tion and would be used for the display of boats and as an
unheated warehouse for storage of boats in the winter.
There wculd be no szQes or service in the building. Mr.
Kempf remarked that the height of the building had been
lowered since the original application and storage capa
city reduced to only 38 boats instead of 100. TWc struc
tures, presently at the site were to be remcved and a
third moved behind the new addition. Another building
to be moved close to the shoreline that was presently^^was
O
situated outside of the 75' setback requirement. At
present, shrub and evergreens are being planted in a
strip along the east lot line. Included as part of the
plan was a seawall with a 20 ft planting strip and a
wooden or crushed rock walkway. The seawall could be
concrete, steel, aluroinicin, wood, etc. At present they
were mer^y looking ac possibilities. This seawall was
needed to stop erosion of the shoreline due to boats
pulling up to shore and to provide protection for the
proposed planting strip. McDonald had objections to a
concrete wall feeling that if it was allowed soon the
neighboring marinas would try to follow suit, which
could create hundreds of feet of wall. Most of the mem
bers agreed and preferred a natural rip rap of rock.
Curtis moved, Pesek seconded, that the Planning Commis
sion recomnend to the Council approval of the application
of North Star Marina provided:
(1) That the objectives be acocmplished witliout rear
rangement of the natural shoreline.
(2) That no seawall be constructed but instecci a fmxr-
able oonoept of rip rap using natural materials that meet
the approval of all oonoemed agencies.
(3) That the small house proposed to be set at the
shoreline not be moved to within 75 ft of the shore.
(4) That the site plan be approved with designated
3 ft setback area for planting on the east and west
side of the lot lines.

The Zoning Adrdtllstrator expledned that Ted Boer was re
questing replacement of an old existing addition on his
^house, 10| X 15*, and patio with a new addition of 12* x
iJ26.6' having a vallocut basement to be oonstrvicted beneath
the existing structure and new addition. VHth the walkout
facing idle lake, it would be necessary to remove roost of
the existing steep bank. The proposed €ddition would add
99 sq. ft. of hardoover within the required 75* setback and
also grading and removal of some trees. Mr. Boer explained
that the only way to excavate would be from the front of
the house. The Zoning Administrator felt it could also be
done from the side of the house. Mr. Boer felt that by
leveling the lake shore bank it would help the erosion pro
blem. IXmlap felt that precedent could be set by allowance
of this so close to the lakeshore and • -v^ferred that if a
basement is put in that the walkout be el^iinabed or di
rected to%«rd the side of the house as this would not re
quire a different grade to the land than the existing one.
®ithrie moved, Curtis seconded, that the Planning Oonmis-
sicn reoonmend approval of the application of Ted Boer
^'ur 1392 Baldur Park Road if the grading as proposed would
improwB present erosion problems and that it be subject to
the review and a favorable report of the Village Engineer.
Motion, Ayes (7) - Nays (0).
Enger Johnson presented his request for division of a
^ten acre tract. Parcel 6800, Section 5, into two lots
six acres and four acres. Ihe analler parcel with
a width of 171 ft. would also require a variance of 29 ft.
fEom the 200 ft. Village code. The necessity for the vari
ance VBS created due to a line of trees which formed a
natural boundary between the two lots. Dunlap moved, K2lL-
lestad seconded, that the Planning Oenmission reoonmend to
Village Council approval of the application of Ehger
Johnson as submitted \:qpon payment of the Fade Dedication
Pee. Motion, Ayes (7) - Nays (0).
Ulmer Oonstructicn Company requested that their property
at 70, 130 and 190 Willow Drive North be divided into
three lots each two acres. Although the new trunk sewer
line goes through the property, the owners are not per
mitted to hook up becuase of the Long LaJee restrictions
on the line and so the zoning is still two acres. Dunlai
noted lowlands at the site and examination of the Aerial
Watlands Map verified her claim. Dunlap moved, Pesek
seconded, that the £^lication of Ulmer Construction Co.
be tabled for review by the Village Engineer or that the
applicant sulanit a different proposal meeting all zoning
requirements or include a variance request with the pro
pel subdivision. Motion, Ayes (7) - Nays (0).

A1 Vliltman requested preliminary approval for subdividing
his thirty acre tract at 1540 Sixth Avenue North into
four parcels sized 15.5, 6, 5 and 4 acres. Ihe Ocnmission
noted that the land was all buildable and dry containing
only a tiny spot of wetlands in the 15 crrre tract. Mr.
Viiitman asked the OcRiidssiGn to hear his appeal for a
waiving of the Paxic Dadioation Fee. He produced a drawing
showing that he could ’WLk” the property by dividing it
into many building sites but as it was his plan to keep
the larg^ tract and give his son another, he should not be
penalized as a ocmnBicial developer by paying the Peudc Ce-
ioatlon Fee. Hake moved, Pesek seconded, that the Plan
ning Oomnission reoonnend to the Council that the Prelimi
