=v-;- TO:Planning Commission PROM:Michael P. Gaffron* Assistant Zoning Administrator DATE:June 11, 1984 SUBJECT:#837 Hennepin County Park Reserve, 2865 North Shore Drive Conditional Use Permit & Variance Request - To rebuild the non~conforming gazebo structure on the Noerenberg Memorial Park Property. List of Exhibits Exhibit A Exhibit B Exhibit C Exhibit D Exhibit E Application Plat Map Property Owners List Survey Applicant's Letter 4-17-84 The applicant is the Hennepin County Park Reserve District. The Hennepin County Park Reserve District is requesting permission to restore the gazebo on the Noerenberg Park property on Crystal Bay. The gazebo is non-conforming by virtue of its location less than 75* from the lakeshore. Orono code requires a conditional use permit for continuance of the non-conforming use, and would require a variance to make repairs constituting over 50 pe^'cent of the fair market value of the structure, which would be applicable in this case. The gazebo is of historical importance as a landmark to the lake area, as noted per the attachment to the application. Also review the photos taken around 1960. Note from the survey that the Park Reserve has roughly 8,200 feet (nearly two miles) of shoreline bordering Noerenberg Park, with existing hardcover from 0-75', including the gazebo, of a small fraction of 1 percent. The planned reconstruction does not increase existing hardcover. The Planning Commission could recommend approval of this application by finding that: 1. This is a structure of historical significance to the lake area 2.Restoration of the structure will not increase the existing hardcover on the property. The existing hardcover in the 0-75' zone is less than 1 percent. 3. This is a legal non-conforming structure, and no change in the use is being made. 4. % . The special conditions applying to this structure are peculiar to this property. #837 Page June T s G m C G t h
