MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING JULY 17,2000 (#2599 BOB AND WENDY BEUTLER, Continued) Weinberger noted the house is located approximately twice as far from the lake as required by the ordinance, with the only issue being the possible placement of a deck in the future. Lindquist moved, Stoddard seconded, to recommend approval of Application #2599, Bob and Wendy Beutler, 684 Tonkawa Road, granting of a variance to lot area and lot width and granting of a variance to the average lakeshore setback to permit a 12’ encroachment into the average lakeshore setback to allow the construction of a new residence on this lot, with the understanding that there will be no hardcover allowed over the 25 percent limit, and subject to review and approval by City Staff of the drainage and grading plan. VOTE: Ayes 5, Nays 0. (#3) #2602 JOHN GRAHAM, 1065 TAMARACK DRIVE - PROPOSED TWO LOT SUBDIVISION, 7:18 p.m. - 7:50 p.m. John Graham, Applicant, was present, along with Thomas and Jennifer Graham. The Certificate of Mailing and Affidavit of Publication. Weinberger stated the Applicants arc requesting a subdivision of a developed 5.1 acre parcel into two lots, with one new building site being created consisting of 2.0 acres north of the existing house. The existing lot was platted as part of the Underhill Famis Addition in 1976. A pond is located on the property located on what would be the southern lot, with a flowage and conservation easement being granted at the time the Underhill Farms Addition was recorded. Weinberger stated Lot I would be the new' building site and would meet the minimum lot size and width for lots in the RR-IB Zoning District. Based on the survey submitted, the building pad is located within the required setbacks and all setbacks arc met to the drainficld sites. This lot would share a driveway with Lot 2, with an easement being granted in favor of Lot 2 for access over Lot I. Using tlie existing driveway would eliminate the need to cut down any trees and works well with the existing house. Relocation of the driveway would result in the driveway completely circling the house and come close to encroaching into the wetland setback area. Weinberger noted there is an existing storage building that would be located on Lot 1 without a principal building. Weinberger su ggested the building remain for a defined length of time before the principal building is constructed on the property or if the ow nership changes between Lot 1 and Lot 2. Weinberger stated Lot 2 would not have direct access to Tamarack nor to County Road 6. The property owners would prefer to use the existing driveway located on Lot 2. Lot 2 also meets the minimum requirements for subdivision. Hennepin County may have additional requirements for that portion of properts' located along County Road 6. Weinberger noted aecording to the survey ail land along (Tounty Road 6 and Tamarack has been dedicated to the public. Weinberger indicated the City Council has recently adopted a new Septic Code that permits slopes of up to 12 percent for mound systems. Previously sites could only have a six percent PAGE 8 fMir—I ITnnliB
