MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING HELD AUGUST 15, 1994 i ZONING FILE #1941 - CONT. It was moved by Peterson, seconded by Lindquist, to recommend approval of Application #1941 for LeRoy and Wanda Fischbach, 3135 North Shore Drive, for the variances as proposed and accepted the hardships stated by applicants, subject to the following conditions: applicants must provide an updated survey, all hardcover removals must be completed prior to footing inspection, erosion controls must be placed along the pond, and mature evergreen trees must be replanted. Smith asked that a minimum size be designated for replacement trees. Gaffron indicated that could be done and also suggested that the trees be identified for removal. Mr. Fischbach inquired what needed to be done regarding erosion control. Gaffron explained it would be necessary to install a silt fence during construction. Smith suggested a landscape plan and planting schedule be provided. Peterson noted the proposed motion is based on the lot size figures computed to be in the 44,000 s.f. range. Gaffron said he would meet with Fischbach's architect before sending the application to Council. Chair Schroeder indicated approval is based on structural coverage being 15 % or less of the total lot area. Ayes 4, nays 0.

All requirements are met other than lot area for a single family building site. Chair Schroeder asked whether there was public interest. Lance Wile, 615 Minnetonka Highlands Lane expressed concern with a possible dispute over encroachment of a lot line. Chair Schroeder inquired about the location of the lot line. Etherington stated the survey was properly done. Herman and Shirley Laue, 594 Park Lane, stated they have lived at that address since 1962. Some of the original pipes marking the lot lines are still in place. The recent survey does not come close. When he constructed a shed on his property, he made sure it within his property boundaries. He noted the property to the east had been surveyed which met his comer stake. Chair Schroeder asked if he would dispute the current survey. Mr. Laue answered in the affirmative. 2 •
