MINUTES OF THE ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING Monday, March 25, 2002 • 7:00 o'clock p.m. • ( #02 -2758 Robert Pieper, Continued) Kluth indicated the Planning Commission cannot measure the intent of the person applying for an after - the -fact permit, and the Planning Commission tends to treat every applicant the same in applying fees. Nygard concurred that the City needs to be consistent when applying fees. Sansevere inquired whether the City has waived this type of fee in the past. Gaffron stated normally the City does not waive after - the -fact fees for contractors but on occasion has waived after - the -fact fees for homeowners where a contractor is not involved. Gaffron stated in his view the contractor and owner might have been unaware that a conditional use permit was needed but should have known that a building permit would be needed. Gaffron suggested the Council consider waiving the double fee portion of the conditional use permit but charging a double fee on the building permit for the guest apartment, and to waive the double permit fee for the CUP. Nygard moved, White seconded, to approve and adopt RESOLUTION NO. 4778, a Resolution Approving an After - the -Fact Conditional Use Permit for Robert D. Pieper, 3995 North Shore Drive, with the applicant being charged a double permit fee on the building permit for the guest apartment only. VOTE: Ayes 5, Nays 0. *( #9) #02 -2759 JOHN COLLETTE, 2160 WEST WAYZATA BOULEVARD — CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT — RESOLUTION NO. 4779 Flint moved, White seconded, to approve and adopt RESOLUTION NO. 4779, a Resolution Granting a Conditional Use Permit to John Collette, 2160 West Wayzata Boulevard.

Weinberger stated the Applicants are requesting a sketch plan review to split two lots previously • combined. The lots were combined in 1984, with the property now totaling 3.66 acres. Based on the property having only 3.66 acres, it is not possible to subdivide the property without granting a lot area variance for one of the properties for a lot less than two acres. PAGE 7
