MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING Monday, March 20,2017 6:30 o'clock p.m. (The Planning Commission suspended discussion on this item in order to discuss Item No. 5) Landgraver moved, Schoenzeit seconded, to table Application No. 17-3910, Lakewest, LLC, 3245 Wayzata Boulevard, Interim Use Permit, and to continue the public hearing to the April 17 Planning Commission meeting. VOTE: Ayes 5, Nays 0. 7. 17-3912 BRUCE BULKELAND, PIID 07-117-23-31-0028 (Adjacent to 1298 Wildhurst Trail), VARIANCES, 8:02 PAL — 8:38 P.M. Bruce Birkeland, Applicant, was present. Curtis stated the applicant is requesting a variance to facilitate an administrative lot line adjustment, which is a subdivision exemption, in order to create an additional one lakeshore lot where there is currently one lakeshore lot and one non-lakeshore lot. The southern lot is not a lakeshore lot currently. The applicant owns both lots and has presented two options: Create two conforming lots, each meeting the minimum area and width at the 75 -foot setback. This would require a side setback variance allowing the existing home on Lot 2 to be located within three feet of the new dividing line. The side setback variance is needed in order to certify the subdivision exemption. 2. Locate the dividing line so that the existing home meets the required I 0 -foot side setback. However, this results in Lot 3 having 132 feet in width where , 40 feet is required. A lot width variance would be required in order to process the subdivision exemption. Curtis noted Option 2 is the applicant's preferred option. The LR- 1 B requires 140 feet in width at the ordinary high water level and at the 75 -foot setback for Lake Minnetonka. There should be at least 280 feet at these points for supporting two lakeshore lots. The plans submitted for either option do not appear to reflect conforming measurement of lot widths.
