MINUTES OF THE ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING Monday, February 13, 2017 7:00 o'clock p.m. of the main users of the dock is the Hennepin County Water Patrol, who is another stakeholder, and that they should receive notice if there is a public hearing. Walsh stated he appreciates those comments but that there is a motion on the floor. Walsh asked if there is any further comment from the Council. Crosby stated based on his experience, from a public safety standpoint, if the docks are not there, it is probably better since there tends to be issues with use of the docks at night and alcohol. Crosby stated in his view, from a public safety standpoint, it would be better if the docks were not there and that he would stand on his second. VOTE: Ayes 5, Nays 0.

Curtis stated the owners of the property are planning improvements to make the small home on the property more functional as well as preserve the character of the home. The applicants are proposing to connect the home to the existing detached garage, which requires a side setback variance. The variance would allow a 1.3 foot principal structure setback where a 10 -foot setback is required. Because the connection would result in the detached garage becoming part of the principal structure, it would not be located closer than it exists currently at 1.3 feet. The applicants propose to construct a new detached garage and have revised their plans to conform to the 25 percent hardcover requirement as recommended by the Planning Commission. Based on the revised plans, Staff recommends approval. A draft approval resolution is before the Council tonight for consideration. Walsh stated he wanted one clarification under the conclusions, order, and conditions. Walsh stated he would like to make sure that the height of the structure would stay the same. Page 5 of 18
