Zoning File #1302 April 11/ 1989 Page 2 of 3 The zoning staff has been advised by both John Gerhardson and Glenn Cook that amended Option 2 appears to be the most acceptable for the four residents involved with the repair. Amended Option 2 involves the partial bury of retaining walls along the Erger and Wolfe properties. Schupp's property would have a total bury Erger and Wolfe have requested partial bury so that fill can be restored at grades that would allow re vegetation. The exposed walls per the plans (Exhibit G) show exposure of 5^ to 6*. The Planning Commission conceptually advised a maximum of 5*. Planning Commission should discuss this further with the two property owners. Amended Option 2 no longer includes retaining walls along the Schibilla property, allowing the property to remain as is. Guardrails will be installed in the approximate location as set forth in Exhibits F or G. Cook and Gerhardson have stated that the single cable style with minor alterations has been accepted. Special anchoring will be provided so as not to hinder access to the lakeshore properties. Mike Lynch will be available for comment on the specific assembly of the guardrails. It is staff's understanding that one property owner still has problems with the installation of guardrails. E, As an added note, the Planning Commission is as/^ed to review Exhibit a current letter from Mayor Bedell of Minnetonka Beach, once again reaffirming the City's desire to keep Crystal Bay Road open as a connecting loop road to both cities. It is not clear to the zoning staff whether all four involved property owners have agreed to the proposed amended plan. Mr. Wolfe and Mr. Erger appear to agree to the amended plan. We have yet to receive any clear direction from Schupps or Andersons. Mr. Anderson has advised that he wants to get the matter resolved, but it is not clear whether they approve of Option 2 as amended. In any case, the City is responsible for the repair of the road. Many of the questions raised by the most affected property owners will best be resolved at the Council level with the assistance of the City Attorney. Options of Action Available to the Planning Commission - 1. To approve the City of Orono's conditional use permit and variance application for the repair of the roadbed of Crystal Bay Road based on the plan defined as Option 2 as amended by the residents and City Engineer. Approval is based on the following findings: A) The responsibility of the City of Orono to maintain the public health, safety and welfare will require that the road bed be restored to safe public use level. B) The restoration of the roadbed will provide the necessary protection and stability of the public utilities located within the roadway.
