MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETINO <br />Monday, June 27,2005 <br />7:00 o'clock p.m. <br />S. #05*3097 Haiheiii Abakhadra, 1745 Fox Street - Subdivbion <br />Oundlach explained that the applicant was requesting preliminary plat approval in order to create 6 lots on one <br />block including construction of a private road. The property is abutting Long Lake Creek which leads to Tanager <br />Lake and eventually Lake Minnetonka, placing the property in the Shoreland Overlay District. One house and <br />guest house currently exist on the property. The Planning Commission set forth S stipulations for discussion by the <br />Council with the applicant which included: <br />1. Guest House - The Planning Commission recommended that the guest house be allowed to remain until <br />after the time the existing main house is demolished and the lot is redeveloped. Gundlach noted that if lot 6 is <br />considered a back*lot, a front yard and side yard setback variance will need to be granted in order for it to remain in <br />its current location, and city policy has been that at the time of platting, all existing non-conformancies must be <br />eliminated. <br />2. lx>t 6 as a back*lot - In order to eliminate as many accesses onto Fox Street and to allow the existing house <br />to use the existing driveway, proposed Lot 6 has been suggested to be considered a back-lot; therefore, the lot and <br />existing house meets the 1 SOS setback requirements. <br />3. Elimination of the existing accesses onto Fox Street - The applicant has expressed his desire to keep the <br />existing access onto Fox Street for the guest bouse; whereas, staff and the Planning Commission have <br />recommended that it and the existing driveway access to the western end be eliminated at the time the new road is <br />completed. <br />4. Septic Sites for proposed Lot 6: Lot 6 contains the main house and guest house - Since the existing septic <br />sites are no* adequate and non-compliant the applicants should be directed to submit a design for 2,7-bedroom <br />sites, which would require a variance from the Septic Code. <br />S. Rural Oasis Study - Gundlach encouraged the Council to consider whether this property should or could be <br />required to undergo additional planning steps prior to final plat based on preliminary conclusions of the Rural <br />Oasis study. <br />Pite5of 17 <br />—----
