MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br /> JULY 17,2000 <br /> • <br /> (#2599 BOB AND WENDY BEUTLER, Continued) <br /> Weinberger noted the house is located approximately twice as far from the lake as required by the <br /> ordinance, with the only issue being the possible placement of a deck in the future. <br /> Lindquist moved, Stoddard seconded,to recommend approval of Application #2599, <br /> Bob and Wendy Beutler,684 Tonkawa Road, granting of a variance to lot area and lot <br /> width and granting of a variance to the average lakeshore setback to permit a 12' <br /> encroachment into the average lakeshore setback to allow the construction of a new residence <br /> on this lot,with the understanding that there will be no hardcover allowed over the 25 percent <br /> limit, and subject to review and approval by City Staff of the drainage and <br /> grading plan. VOTE: Ayes 5, Nays 0. <br /> (#3) #2602 JOHN GRAHAM, 1065 TAMARACK DRIVE— PROPOSED TWO LOT <br /> SUBDIVISION, 7:18 p.m.— 7:50 p.m. <br /> John Graham, Applicant, was present, along with Thomas and Jennifer Graham. <br /> The Certificate of Mailing and Affidavit of Publication. <br /> Weinberger stated the Applicants are requesting a subdivision of a developed 5.1 acre parcel into <br /> 411 two lots, with one new building site being created consisting of 2.0 acres north of the existing <br /> house. The existing lot was platted as part of the Underhill Farms Addition in 1976. A pond is <br /> located on the property located on what would be the southern lot, with a flowage and <br /> conservation easement being granted at the time the Underhill Farms Addition was recorded. <br /> Weinberger stated Lot 1 would be the new building site and would meet the minimum lot size <br /> and width for lots in the RR-1B Zoning District. Based on the survey submitted, the building <br /> pad is located within the required setbacks and all setbacks are met to the drainfield sites. This <br /> lot would share a driveway with Lot 2, with an easement being granted in favor of Lot 2 for <br /> access over Lot 1. Using the existing driveway would eliminate the need to cut down any trees <br /> and works well with the existing house. Relocation of the driveway would result in the driveway <br /> completely circling the house and come close to encroaching into the wetland setback area. <br /> Weinberger noted there is an existing storage building that would be located on Lot 1 without a <br /> principal building. Weinberger suggested the building remain for a defined length of time before <br /> the principal building is constructed on the property or if the ownership changes between Lot 1 <br /> and Lot 2. <br /> Weinberger stated Lot 2 would not have direct access to Tamarack nor to County Road 6. The <br /> property owners would prefer to use the existing driveway located on Lot 2. Lot 2 also meets the <br /> minimum requirements for subdivision. Hennepin County may have additional requirements for <br /> that portion of property located along County Road 6. Weinberger noted according to the survey <br /> all land along County Road 6 and Tamarack has been dedicated to the public. <br /> Weinberger indicated the City Council has recently adopted a new Septic Code that permits slopes <br /> • of up to 12 percent for mound systems. Previously sites could only have a six percent <br /> PAGE 8 <br />
