, <br />MINUTES OF THE ORONO COUNCIL MEETING OF APRIL 10, 1989 <br />PUBLIC COMMENTS <br />There were no public comments. <br />ZONING ADMINISTRATOR'S REPORT: <br />#1374 FRESHWATER FOUNDATION <br />2500 SHADYWOOD ROAD <br />SUBDIVISION <br />RESOLUTION #2611 <br />Mr. Marty Jessen, President of the Freshwater Foundation, <br />was present for this matter. <br />City Administrator Bernhardson explained that this was a <br />request for a lot line rearrangement which was previously <br />approved by the Orono City Council in 1975. <br />Assistant Planning and Zoning Administrator Gaffron informed <br />the Council that the subdivision would divide the parcel <br />so that the land containing the Freshwater Foundation buildings <br />would be one parcel and the wetlands would become another. The <br />wetlands parcel would be combined with wetlands to the north <br />owned by Mr. E. W. Blanch. Mr. Jessen clarified that all of the <br />land surrounding the buildings was acquired by Mr. Blanch. Mr. <br />Blanch has given back to the Foundation a right of refusal on a <br />stipulated length of time. The subdivision would create a 5 acre • <br />parcel, on which the Institute is situated, so that it may be <br />conveyed to the University of Minnesota. <br />It was moved by Councilmember Callahan, seconded by <br />Councilmembr Nettles, to adopt Resolution #2611, approving the <br />Registered Land Survey for the Freshwater Foundation, subject to <br />the conditions set forth therein. Motion, Ayes =4, Nays =O, Motion <br />passed. <br />#1376 DAL$ /CHRIS PALM <br />1710 SHADYWOOD ROAD <br />VARIANCE <br />Chris Palm was present for this matter. <br />City Administrator Bernhardson stated that there was a long <br />history involved with this application. It was originally <br />considered in 1986 by the Council for an addition to the primary <br />structure. At that time, variances were granted, but in order to <br />maintain hardcover percentages, a detached garage was to be <br />removed. The Palms had asked the Council to reconsider removal <br />of the garage and the Council denied that request, but granted an <br />extension of time in which to comply. The Palms have submitted a <br />revised plan, removing alternate hardcover so that the detached <br />garage may remain. However, the proposal does not decrease the <br />hardcover to the required percentage. At their March 20, 1989 <br />meeting, the Planning Commission reviewed the revised proposal • <br />and recommended denial. <br />Assistant Planning and Zoning Administrator Gaffron <br />2 <br />
