MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br />Monday, April 27, 2020 <br />6:00 o’clock p.m. <br />_____________________________________________________________________________________ <br /> <br />Mr. Anthon Ellis, Project Architect, Charlie & Company, 212 Third Avenue North, Minneapolis, said he <br />is happy to answer any questions. <br /> <br />Crosby asked Mr. Ellis what the volume below grade was. <br /> <br />Mr. Ellis said it is just under 3 feet from the existing cabin finished floor to the new finished slab. <br />Looking at the elevation displayed on the screen, he pointed out that on the left-hand side of the drawing <br />there is a sloping solid line at grade and said that it slopes up to meet the new finished floor. However, <br />they are not changing the grade. He stated if you look at the existing cabin photograph that Curtis had, <br />you can see at the front edge of the cabin there is plenum/shade space. The cabin sits up on wood framing, <br />and there is an old fox den beneath the cabin which is essentially open air. They are taking up the lost <br />space underneath the cabin and grading the existing grade down to meet the finished floor height and then <br />feathering the grade back down. It is a subtle change in grade. They are not grading down 3 feet <br />completely on all 4 sides of the cabin; they are maintaining the existing grade on the lakeside. <br /> <br />Walsh commented that it needs a little tender loving care and will be beautiful when it is done. <br /> <br />Mayor Walsh closed the public hearing at 7:12 p.m. <br /> <br />Johnson moved, Seals seconded, to draft the findings for LA20-000025, John Kraemer, 855 Old <br />Crystal Bay Rd S, Variance: Average Lakeshore Setback. Roll Call Vote: Ayes 5 (Seals, Printup, <br />Johnson, Crosby, Walsh), Nays 0. <br />
