John Barbour <br />DATE; December 16, 1986 <br />The following is a memorandum of several telephone conversations during the <br />past 10 days with Mark Bernhardtson, City Administrator, Orono, Minnesota, <br />regarding several items in their letter of December 13, 1985. <br />Boathouse <br />They are not ruling out the possibility of reconstructing the boathouse, <br />but stating that obtaining approvals will be difficult considering the <br />various agency approvals required; that if retention of the boathouse is <br />that strongly desired, then it is worth going through the process <br />required to attempt to receive that approval. <br />Multiple Dwelling Buildings <br />Multiple dwelling buildings are not included in the list of Permitted or <br />Conditional Uses allowed in an ORS" Seasonal Recreational District <br />primarily because of concern for fire. The cabin clusters (to facilitate <br />camp use by elderly and mobility impaired as well as providing general <br />convenience) and multi -unit housing structure (for mobility -impaired <br />individuals and future energy -efficient winter use) will require a zoning <br />ordinance amendment and attendant conditional use permit. Smoke <br />detectors and other forms of fire protection will go a long way towards <br />obtaining approval for these building types. <br />Minimum Standards <br />According to the zoning code, a minimum of one acre is required for each <br />sleeping cabin or dwelling unit or for two tent camping spots. The <br />proposed 44 sleeping cabins, 20 units in the multi -unit housing <br />structure, 3 staff cabins and 25 tent camping sites exceeds that which is <br />allowed for the 58 acre site. Except for the tent camping sites, this is <br />approximately the same number of cabin/housing units as previously <br />located here. However, a zoning variance is required to exceed the 58 <br />housing units currently allowed. <br />If, in your review of this memo, you find that your interpretation of any of <br />the subjec matter varies, please advise us. <br />F._JoFn Barbour, Ed Frenette, AIA <br />Senior Project Architect Director of Design a Planning <br />dj9 (P-1) <br />xc: Mark Bernhardtson, Joe Backes, Edward S.
