`i • MINUTES OF THE ORONO COUNCIL MEETING OF NOVEMBER 14, 1988 ZONING FILE 11339 -DAVID LEE CONTINUED the City's ordinances pertaining to the lakeshore. He did not want to send the wrong message to the citizens of Orono. Councilmember Goetten reiterated her concerns of informing the Public of those ordinances. She added that she had to rely on the information provided from the City Engineer in trying to make the best of a bad situation. Mr. Lee explained that he had received numerous phone calls following an article that appeared in the Wayzata paper. He went on to say that his neighbors were most supportive of him improving his property. Mr. Lee also reiterated Mr. Robin's arguments for keeping the timbers in place. Acting Mayor Peterson asked whether the completion date of April 30, 1989 was realistic? Mr. Robin and Mr. Lee felt it was not, due to the frost. Peterson suggested June 30, 1989. Mr. Lee agreed. Mr. Robin advised Mr. Lee to remove the timbers and do the grading and fill work and immediately establish some kind of ground cover for the bank. It was moved by Councilmember Nettles, seconded by Acting Mayor Peterson, to adopt Resolution #1339, approving the conditional use permit, and amending the completion date to June • 30, 1989. Motion, Ayes =3, Nays =O, Motion passed. #1347 MICHAEL HALLEY HOMES, INC. 2.715 PENCE LANE VARIANCE RESOLUTION #2539 Mr. Bob Martinson, a representative for Michael Halley Homes, and Mr. and Mrs. Dean Terry were present. City Administrator Bernhardson explained that the original proposal had been revised to address the concerns of Mr. Dailey and Mr. Skifter. The gateway would now be located approximately 14' from the west lot line and 20' from the north lot line. The 10' setback variance to the north lot line would still be required. A 12' by 12' backup apron has been included to alleviate traffic turning around in neighboring driveways. If the gate were moved back another 10' to 12' there would be no need for a variance. Mr. Martinson reiterated Bernhardson's explanation of the revised proposal. He said that in response to the emergency vehicle access issue, there are three ways to access the electronically controlled gates: (1) Activation from within the houses on the property; (2) Activation from the front by entering in a code, which will be given to both the Police. and Fire • Departments; and (3) a large mechanical pin could be pulled to manually open the gates should there be a power failure. These methods of access have been discussed and approved with the Police and Fire Departments. 5
