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 />
