MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO CITY-COUNCIL MEETING HELD ON DECEMBER 11, 1995 ( #15 - #2092 Dennis Platteter - Continued) • Mabusth reported that the application was a proposal for a 2 -lot subdivision of 5.64 acres. The parcel originally consisted of 6.5 acres but area was lost due to the dedication of Brown Road and Dickey Lake. The proposal is for a back/front lot configuration. The back lot meets all of the standards. Mabusth said 150% of normal allowances is required in the RR -1B. The property is also restricted by the 150' setback from an environmental lake. Mabusth reported that the applicant is proposing to remove all of the accessory structures including the pool. The existing residence does not meet the 75' setback from the proposed lot line. Staff is not clear on the status of the residence. If the residence, which is located 3-4' from the side lot line, stays, Staff recommends asking for the lot line to be altered to meet the side setback requirements. This was noted as a condition of the Planning Commission's approval. If the applicant seeks a final plat, Staff recommends a developer's agreement and letter of credit be obtained prior to the plat. Mr. Platterer said he has not decided on what he will do with the existing house. The potential buyers may remodel the house. If the purchase is not made, Platterer said he would remove the house. He noted his satisfaction with the resolution. There were no public comments. Callahan moved, Jabbour seconded, to approve Resolution #3659 per the Planning • Commission recommendation. Vote: Ayes 3, Nays 0. MAYOR/COUNCIL REPORT Callahan reported that Park Commission Chair Flint attended the DNR meeting regarding the Luce Line trail paving proposal. Flint was unable to present the City's resolution due to a format not conducive to its presentation. Discussion groups consisted of governmental representation as well as those involved in the different activity groups that use the trail. Callahan said the majority were opposed to the paving of the trail from Wayzata to Hutchinson. Flint had informed Callahan that there was a possible benefit to paving the trail west of Hutchinson. The DNR had presented a concept of a new form of aggregate lime that would be in keeping with its present limestone bed. A revised resolution will be presented at the Council meeting of January 8, 1996. ENGINEER REPORT Cook had no additional comments. 18 0
