MINUTES OF THE <br /> • ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION <br /> Tuesday,February 22, 2005 <br /> 6:00 o'clock p.m. <br /> (#05-3074 Sean and Melissa Wambold, Continued) <br /> Bremer indicated she would be fine with allowing a portion of the wall to remain as long as it was under <br /> 168 square feet and it is screened with vegetation. Bremer stated there may be some confusion over the <br /> City Engineer's letter since he indicates that the boulder wall is not necessary but that due to the <br /> steepness of the wall they should be allowed a set of stairs. Bremer stated in her view it does not appear <br /> that this slope would need a stairway in order to access the lake. <br /> Bremer stated the Planning Commission typically looks at after-the-fact variances on what they would <br /> have allowed prior to the work being completed and that this work would not have been allowed had the <br /> proper steps been followed. Bremer indicated it is difficult to tell from the City Engineer's letter <br /> whether the steps would be allowed all the way from the residence down to the lake. <br /> Curtis stated re-grading the property could result in the necessity for the stairway to be extended <br /> somewhat but that it is not necessary for the property to be re-graded back to its original grade. <br /> Rahn moved,Kempf seconded,to recommend denial of the after-the-fact hardcover variance and <br /> to recommend approval of a conditional use permit in order to re-grade the 0-75' setback zone, <br /> with the applicants having the option of choosing whether to retain a portion of the boulder wall, <br /> subject to the hardcover in the 0-75' zone not exceeding 168 square feet and further subject to <br /> appropriate vegetative screening being provided for the wall, or to construct a stairway down to <br /> the lake not to exceed 168 square feet. VOTE: Ayes 4,Nays 1,Leslie opposed. <br /> Leslie noted the 168 square feet is a presumption on the part of the applicant and is not what the City <br /> Engineer is stating in his letter. <br /> 3. #05-3078 GARY AND LYNN CHRISTENSEN,3560 IVY PLACE—VARIANCES, <br /> 6:35 P.M.—6:54 P.M. <br /> Gary Christensen,Applicant, and Jeff Danbury,Builder, were present. <br /> Curtis stated the applicant is requesting an average lakeshore setback variance and a side setback <br /> variances in order to replace their existing low-pitched roof with a steeper pitch resulting in a '/z story <br /> that will include attic storage space. Curtis noted this residence does not have a basement. The existing <br /> residence is currently set back 40 feet from the ordinary high water mark of Lake Minnetonka where a <br /> 75-foot setback is required and 8.2 feet from the side lot line to the north where normally a 10 foot <br /> setback is required. <br /> Staff finds there is a hardship due to the location of the existing home. <br /> Staff recommends approval of the request in conjunction with the applicant removing all encroachments <br /> onto the neighboring property. Curtis stated there are portions of the deck, sidewalk and existing <br /> PAGE 5 <br />
