MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO CITY COUNCIL <br />MEETING HELD ON DECEMBER 8,1997 <br />(#5 - #2264 Janet Kieman - Continued) <br />Jabbour moved, Goetten seconded, to reopen Application #2264. Vote: Ayes 5, Nays 0. <br />Jabbour moved, Goetten seconded, to amend Resolution #3946 to reflect that any <br />previous variances given to the structure in the 0-75' setback w’ould be totally eliminated <br />and the amount of square footage would be credited to the 75-250' setback. All <br />remaining variances would remain as in the original resolution. The side setback is not <br />to exceed amount stated. <br />The applicant supported this motion. <br />Dzurik asked if structure changes are made on the blueprint, if the applicant has to pay a <br />fee. Gaffron said the building inspector would likely have to charge another plan review <br />which is typically a percentage and would be for probably a couple of hours time. <br />Jabbour asked if this fee could be waived. Barrett said it could. This was not added to <br />the motion but with Council agreement and understanding by staff. <br />Vote: Ayes 5, Nays 0. <br />(Agenda order continues after review of Item #17) <br />(#17) BURNING PERMIT REGULATIONS <br />Gappa reported that the Council has reviewed the burning permit regulations in the past. <br />The recent changes for consideration include changes to the length of the permit and an <br />allowance for burning of brush depending on the lot size. The burning regulations in <br />Independence and Minnetrista were researched, where they allow brush to be burned <br />without permit up to a 25' pile, 1 O' high. Gappa said development in Orono was then <br />reviewed and burning was considered for three categories: recreational, small brush, and <br />large brush. Gappa reviewed the requirements for each type of burning as outlined in <br />the packet. <br />Gappa said he spoke with West Hennepin Public Safety, who requires a water supply <br />consisting of a single hose for a small brush fire that includes log disposal. He thought <br />their requirements were reasonable. The large brush fires would be for properties of 5+ <br />acres. In that case, the West Hennepin Public Safety requires two hoses. <br />Jabbour asked for public comments. <br />Allan Engleman, 315 Old Crystal Bay Road, asked if the Council was now considering <br />burning of brush. He was informed that this was being considered.
