MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br /> MONDAY,OCTOBER 15,2001 <br /> (#01-2707 ROBERT EDDINGTON,CONTINUED) <br /> unimproved dedicated right-of-way of Hill Street which lies between 285 and 315 Crestview Avenue. <br /> The right-of-way was originally dedicated in the plat of Bayside Addition to Lake Minnetonka in <br /> 1912. Bottenberg stated there have been a couple of other sections of Hill Street which have been <br /> vacated over the years west of Crestview Avenue. Hill Street is a 40-oot wide unimproved street <br /> right-of-way traversing Bayside Addition from east to west. <br /> Bottenberg stated this application does meet all the criteria for vacation. The Public Works Director <br /> has been asked to review the proposed vacation and has agreed to proceed with the vacation finding <br /> no current or future public use for the 40-foot right-of-way. Bottenberg stated she has received <br /> responses from the utility companies who have indicated they have no concerns relating to this <br /> request. <br /> Staff is recommending approval of the vacation subject to the property owners granting a ten-foot <br /> drainage and utility easement within the vacated right-of-way. The location of the easement should <br /> be five feet either side of the new shared lot line. <br /> Eddington had nothing to add to Staffs report. <br /> There were no public comments regarding this application. <br /> Hawn moved,Kluth seconded,to recommend approval of Application#01-2707 Robert <br /> Eddington and Mark Larson,Hill Street,vacation of a portion of unimproved Hill Street <br /> located adjacent to properties located at 285 and 315 Crestview Avenue,subject to the property <br /> owners granting a ten foot drainage and utility easement within the vacated right-of-way,with <br /> the new easement being located five feet either side of the new shared lot line. <br /> VOTE: Ayes 6,Nays 0. <br /> (#8) #01-2720 CRAIG AND BEV MILLER, 1325 SHORELINE DRIVE,VARIANCE, <br /> 7:33 p.m.—7:43 p.m. <br /> Craig and Bev Miller,Applicants,were present. <br /> The Certificate of Mailing and Affidavit of Publication were noted. <br /> Bottenberg stated the Applicants are requesting a lot width variance and an accessory building <br /> variance to construct a new residence on the lot. The existing residence constructed in 1973 will be <br /> removed. A lot width variance is required due to the lot being 130 feet wide where 200 feet is <br /> required in the LR-1A zoning district. An accessory building variance is required because Orono <br /> zoning code does not permit an accessory building on a property without a principal structure. <br /> Currently there is an existing accessory building located within 75 feet of the lakeshore. <br /> Staff recommends approval of the lot area variance,but recommends that the shed either be removed <br /> or moved to a conforming location. Bottenberg noted there is not a permit on file for the accessory <br /> structure,but it does appear to have been constructed a number of years ago. The shed does appear to <br /> be in good condition. <br /> PAGE 10 <br />
