r - • MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING HELD MARCH 21, 1994 ( #3) #1907 JAMES AND JOANN JUNDT - cont. Members discussed the existing boathouse noting that any structural repair of the boathouse would require approval of the City. Schroeder asked if the same ordinance applied to the grotto at the lakeshore. Mabusth explained that when any improvements were proposed within lakeshore, variance approval is required. The repair of the stone steps also involves slight land alterations within the protected area and the City is concerned about soil erosion. Rowlette questioned if four staircases for 600' of shoreline was appropriate and thought this should be discussed at some future date. Smith asked if the steps were being repaired to maintain the ambiance of the lakeshore or if they were functional. Lindquist noted people would be walking down to the lake at different places and the steps would be useful or they would be crawling up and down the bank. Smith did not see any problem in repairing the most northerly steps because there were potential erosion problems. Schroeder asked that the applicant recognize that when the wooden boat facility deteriorates, it will need to be removed. Rowlette agreed because there is already hardcover allowed with the steps in the 0 -75' setback area. • Crawford agreed to discuss the Planning Commission's request to consider the removal of the boathouse with the Jundt's. It was moved by Lindquist, seconded by Berg, to approve Application #1907 for James and Joann Jundt, 1400 Brackett's Point Road, for variances to repair two stone step accessways as needed. Ayes 7, nays 0. ( #4) #1908 DAVID CARLSON 620 BIG ISLAND - CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT /VARIANCES - PUBLIC HEARING 7:33 P.M. - 7:41 P.M. The Affidavit of Publication and Certificate of Mailing were noted. David Carlson was present. Mabusth reviewed the applicant's proposal to install a 12' x 18' storage shed within the flood fringe area of Lake Minnetonka. The Watershed District has reviewed this request and advised they had no problem with the proposal. She noted that all setbacks except the average lakeshore setback were met. No hardcover problems existed. If the shed were moved out of the flood fringe area, it would be too close to the septic area and the 30' interior lot line setback would not be met. • 3
