E ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES FOR MAY 26, 1998 ( #7) ROBERT WAADE, 3280/3290 NORTH SHORE DRIVE - PRELIMINARY PLAT APPROVAL Mr. and Mrs. Waade were present. Gaffron explained that the proposal is for a conditional use permit for a duplex, a conditional use permit for grading within 5' of the lot line for a berm, and a subdivision to create a lakeshore lot consisting of a back lot and a lot adjacent to the road proposed for duplex use. He noted the LR -1C -1 zoning district allows a duplex use within 200' of commercial zoned property (Lakeside Marina to the west and portions of North Shore Marina on the east). Planning Commission recommended approval on a vote of 4 to 1. Lot 1 will be a lakeshore lot and meets the area and width standards. A variance is required for the proposed driveway which does not meet the 10' setback from the west property line. Planning Commission recommended a policy be formalized that would allow the stormwater pond to be credited towards the extra 50% requirement for lot area in the back lot. Lot 2 is proposed for duplex use. Neitlier unit would have lake access. As a duplex, either one • or both of the units must be rental units. The property is sewered. It is a corner lot surrounding a County lift station. By definition, the front side is the short side of the lot. The applicant is proposing that the east side, longer side, be considered the front so the lot would meet the width requirement. 0 Outlot A is proposed as a 40' wide private road with a 24' paved road. It would serve an existing garage, three existing houses and the proposed three units. The City will require road and utility easements. Outlot B accesses the back lot. Three total units are served by driveways coming off of the outlot. Technically the code only allows two, therefore a variance is required for the third driveway. Outlot C is requested by Hennepin County for sight distance improvements. A plan showing how the area to be cut down should be submitted. A berm is proposed at the west property line which may be up to 5' in height. If it is greater than 2 -3' as shown on the diagrams, additional review will be required. City sewer runs beneath the proposed berm and the City will require an easement over the sewer. It should be documented that sewer is beneath the berm and the City would have the right to disturb the berm and plantings to access the sewer. 3
