MINUTES OF THE ORONO COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 12, 1989 <br />ZONING FILE #1391-'SADLER CONTINUED <br />and variances for the purpose of constructing a retaining wall. <br />The City Engineer has reviewed this application and recommended <br />that the retaining wall extend to a point 80* from the lakeshore <br />at full height and then taper to the ground in the next 10* to a <br />point 70* from the shoreline. Cook felt this revisi m to the <br />applicant's proposal would be more in keeping with ♦ < City's <br />regulations concerning filling and grading within cjf the <br />lake. <br />Mr. Sadler stated that the City Engineer's proposal f^ould <br />not alleviate the sloped area, and mowing or otherwise maintaining <br />that area would be very difficult. He also stated that the <br />revised plan would not limit moff from the slope onto his <br />neighbor's property. <br />CounciImember Callahan stated that he disliked the proposal <br />allowing 5* of retaining wall to encroach into the 0-75* zone. He <br />also felt that placement of the wall so close to the shared lot <br />line, could create future problems between the property owners. <br />CounciImember Goetten concurred with Callahan. <br />It was moved by CounciImember Callahan, seconded by <br />CounciImember Goetten, to deny application #1391, and direct <br />staff to draft a denial resolution. Motion, Ayes«5, Nays*»0, <br />Motion passed. <br />#1397 ART CENTER OF MINNESOTA <br />2180/2240 NORTH SHORE DRIVE <br />LOT LINE REARRANGEMENT <br />RESOLUTION #2639 <br />Ms. Michelle Prahm was present. <br />Executive Director of the Art Center. <br />as was Ms. Ann Stover, <br />Zoning Administrator Mabusth informed the Council and Mayor <br />Grabek that the Art Center was presenting a Quit Claim Deed that <br />would provide the County with a 33* right-of-way.

Mabusth said that she had <br />received a request from the Art Center to waive the requirement <br />of a iletter of credit. <br />Ms. Frahm explained that in light of no new development <br />actually occurring with this subdivision application, that a <br />letter of credit should not be a requirement. Ms. Stover added <br />that the required screening, lighting and parking would be <br />achieved with minimal expense. <br />Mayor Grabek expressed his preference to have some form of <br />letter of credit. Ms. Frahm suggested that the Art Center be <br />required to place a certain sum in an escrow account in lieu of <br />a letter of credit.
