MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO COUNCIL MEETING HELD MAY 12, 1986 <br />#999 BELDON /MELINE <br />3598 NORTH SHORE DRIVE <br />VARIANCE <br />Benn Beldon and Evan Meline were present for this <br />matter. <br />City Administrator Bernhardson reviewed the variances <br />requested to allow construction of a new house on a <br />severely substandard lot. <br />Mayor Butler stated that she looked at the Hennepin <br />County lot yesterday and found that the majority of the <br />lot is now under water and that in her opinion the <br />amount of dry buildable is not more than the shoulder of <br />the road. Due to this fact, she agrees with the <br />Planning Commission recommendation of denial. <br />Applicants stated that they still believe there are <br />alternatives yet to be found that could be acceptable. <br />They also noted that this lot has been assessed as a <br />buildable lot. <br />Mayor Butler stated that she does not feel that <br />acquisition of the additional property from Hennepin <br />County would benefit the situation. <br />It was also noted by the Council regarding the taxes, <br />that the property owners have the right to appeal the <br />assessed value. <br />The applicant's stated that they in good faith removed <br />the hazardous foundation which they believe gave them <br />the "grandfather" right to remodel or rebuild. <br />City Administrator Bernhardson noted that the structure <br />was deemed to be hazardous and not able to be remodeled. <br />City Attorney Blatz stated that the Council has the <br />obligation to consider health & safety measures, which <br />in this case seems to be in the best interest of the <br />applicants. <br />Applicants questioned what alternative uses can this <br />property serve i.e. recreational lot, dockage etc. <br />Councilmember•Frahm <br />be on the lot in <br />structure. <br />4 <br />01 <br />stated that a primary structure must <br />order to allow the accessory dock <br />
