ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES FOR OCTOBER 12, 1998 (#5) #2418 ROBERT LUND, 1655 BOHN'S POINT ROAD -CONTINUED Kelley questioned building a house with 6,000 s .f . plus a swimming pool on property located on Lake Minnetonka, with no plans for decks or patios. Kelley was concerned about future proposals to add hardcover for a deck or patio. Lund stated the original home had a small terrace on the lakeside which the Newmans did not use much . The proposed house is designed so that the first floor is 6" above grade. This design is to give you the feeling that you are outside when you are actually inside . They will have a covered deck on the northwest end of the house, from the breakfast room to the gables . Mayor Jabbour voiced concern to Lund that in the future the applicants may be back asking for additional variances for a deck/patio/terracing. Mayor Jabbour felt that a percentage of hardcover should be set aside for additional terracing/decking/patio for future use. Flint expressed concern over the 30' high tower. Flint felt it would look too massive from the lake. Flint stated he would not favor this application with this tower. Lund asked Council for a consensus as to what they would be looking for .
