6 MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br />HELD JANUARY 19, 1993 <br />ZONING FILE #1790 - CONT. <br />It was moved by Chair Bellows, seconded by Cohen, to recommend <br />approval of Application #1790, Minnetonka Center for the Arts, on <br />the property located at 2040 North Shore Drive, for a variance to <br />Install a directional sign along County Road 15. Ayes 5, nays 0. <br />( 05) #1791 BLAKE BICHANICH, <br />332 WESTLAKE STREET - VARIANCES <br />PUBLIC HEARING 7:55 - 8:00 P.M. <br />The Affidavit of Publication and Certificate of Mailing were noted. <br />Mr. and Mrs. Bichanich were present for this application. <br />Weckman explained the applicants own two adjacent parcels, for <br />which they propose a 50 s.f. addition to the south side of the <br />residence and another addition of a basement lower level to the <br />north side of the residence. They are proposing to move the <br />northern structure 10' closer to the lake to enhance the view, and <br />a tower is proposed to join the two structures. The property has <br />been assessed for one sewer unit. The hardship is the narrowness <br />of the lots. <br />Johnson asked the setback from the lake. <br />Bichanich noted the houses are approximately 150' to 200' from the <br />lake. <br />It was moved by Chair Bellows, seconded by Cohen, to recommend <br />approval of Application #1791, Blake Blchanich, 332 Westlake <br />Street, for side lot line variances to construct additions to the <br />existing residences. Ayes 5, nays 0. <br />( #6) #1792 DON GRONBERG, <br />110 LEAF STREET - VARIANCES <br />PUBLIC HEARING 8:00 - 8:15 P.M. <br />The Affidavit of Publication and Certificate of Mailing were noted. <br />Don Gronberg and Mark Gronberg were present. <br />Mabusth briefly reviewed the areas of lots within the neighborhood <br />and two area variances approved since 1975 based on current rural <br />standards. The property now has sewer available. However, the <br />shoreland regulations require the residence to be setback 75' from <br />the edge of the tributary is opposed to the 26' setback previously <br />required. This requirement reduces the building envelope, as well <br />a, as the need to dedicate right -of -way for Leaf Street. <br />5 <br />
