MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br /> Monday,August 12,2019 <br /> 7:00 o'clock p.m. <br /> Johnson asked which line the Council should use, the closest or the furthest. <br /> Oakden indicated it would be the closest point from the neighboring houses for the average lakeshore <br /> setback. <br /> Johnson commented it appears they are sneaking forward from where they would normally be allowed if <br /> it is assumed the one house does not exist. <br /> Oakden stated if they use the closest point, which should have been used, the red line would have been <br /> more extreme. The proposed house is farther back than the adjoining residence because one of the homes <br /> has a closer point to the lake. <br /> Johnson asked what the purple corner to the south is. <br /> Walsh noted that is not the correct corner. <br /> Seals stated the lot in between should be ignored. <br /> Johnson stated they are behind where they would be allowed to be because the surveyor put the line in the <br /> wrong spot. <br /> Walsh stated the average lakeshore setback cannot be met either way. <br /> Seals moved, Crosby seconded, to adopt RESOLUTION NO. 7009, a Resolution Approving a <br /> Variance from Municipal Zoning Code Section 78-350, 78-1279, and 78-1700 for the property <br /> located at 2967 Casco Point Road. VOTE: Ayes 4,Nays 0. <br /> MAYOR/COUNCIL REPORT <br /> Johnson stated he had nothing to report. <br /> Seals noted Long Lake had their Corn Days festival and that the parade and other activities were fun. <br /> Crosby stated Orono resident Carolyn Broghammer passed away on August 1 and left behind her <br /> husband, children, and grandson. Crosby stated he knew this lady through Orono volleyball and that his <br /> heart goes out to the family. Carolyn was an awesome woman, always positive, her kids' biggest fan, and <br /> was a great citizen in the City of Orono. <br /> Walsh concurred that it was a great Corn Days festival and that they rode on the City Council float and <br /> threw out a lot of candy. <br /> Tuesday, August 6, was National Night Out. Walsh stated he attended a number of great parties with <br /> Council Member Crosby and City Administrator Rief, including one in the Orono Woods development. <br /> They had a great country band there and some awards were presented to the police. <br /> Crosby noted Xerces was on Channel 11 at the Orono Woods get-together. <br /> Walsh noted the Minnesota State Fair is coming up soon as well as the first day of school. <br /> Page 6 of 8 <br />
