MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING HELD ON FEBRUARY 13,1995 • (#6) #1988 KENNETH J. SEVERINSON, 2800 SHADYWOOD ROAD - VARIANCES - RESOLUTION #3522 Mr. and Mrs. Severinson were present. Mabusth reported that the Applicant installed new sections of 6 -7' privacy fencing and repaired other sections of fencing without obtaining a building permit. This fence is located on property that is adjacent to both the Narrows Channel and county road. The code allows for 6' high fencing within street yards of lakeshore lots adjacent to county roads. The Applicant did not realize a permit was needed to replace and add new sections of fencing. Hardships were listed for the Applicant. Mabusth said the Planning Commission voted 5 to 2 for approval, with the minority opinion opting for a combination of lower fencing with shrubs. Mabusth said that there is shrubbery in place that does obscure the fence from the lagoon and noted that the county road at that location was high minizing visual impact of fence at that height. Applicant Severinson said he replaced 70% of the fencing. It started as a repair job but due to the amount of heaving, he was unable to only repair it. The fencing is a stockade type, the same as the original. Hun moved, Kelley seconded, to approve Resolution #3522 for Kenneth and Eileen Severinson at 2800 Shadywood Road. Ayes 3, Nays 0. • ( #7) 3585 SIXTH AVENUE NORTH - HOME OCCUPATION LICENSE RENEWAL LICENSE The Applicant, Mr. Meinhardt, was present. Mabusth reported that the application was for a renewal of a home occupation license. The 3 -acre property is located on CoRd 6, adjacent to a residential area, next to the Park Gun Club, and with Hennepin Parks to the north. Council was informed of recent problems the Applicant has had, primarily with the loss of his wife. Mabusth presented photos taken during an inspection for the license renewal showing commercial trailers parked outside and to the rear of the barn. The license requires these vehicles to be stored inside. The commercial vehicles were found to be owned by the Applicant's son, and a letter was sent asking for removal of vehicles from outside the barn area. It was noted that an employee was also parking his personal vehicle at the rear of the barn. The license required that this also be parked inside when the employee picked up his work vehicle. •
