MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING HELD ON MAY 27,1997 • ( #11 - #2234 Douglas Waldoch - Continued) Jabbour inquired about the property's elevation. Waldoch said the initial 75' is flat with the home located in the steeper grade. Jabbour noted there was no need for the shed to be located in the 75' setback. Waldoch said the distance from the house to the lake is far. Jabbour indicated that the City has been consistent with asking for removal of hardcover within the 75' setback. Waldoch noted the shed serves a function but would be willing to move it to another location to gain approval of the application. Van Zomeren clarified that the shed could remain elsewhere on the property. Kelley suggested the shed be placed behind the average lakeshore setback. Goetten moved, Kelley seconded, to approve Resolution No. 3907 with removal of the shed out of the 0 -75' setback. The shed can be placed elsewhere behind the average lakeshore setback on the property if hardcover requirements are met. Vote: Ayes 4, Nays 0. ( #12) 92235 MARTIN B. SCHNEIDER, 2180 NORTH SHORE DRIVE - CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT AMENDMENT - RESOLUTION NO.3908 The applicant was present. • Van Zomeren reported that the application is for an amendment to a conditional use permit for the Old Hill Schoolhouse located in the RR -iB Zoning District. The property is 25,400 sT The Lake Minnetonka Environmental School is requesting relocation to this property. The Planning Commission recommended approval subject to the building receiving a certificate of occupancy before the school relocates into the building, a future change in tenancy would require an amendment to the CUP, and review of the appropriate use classification and required state building code rules and regulations for the proposed use. Goetten questioned the limiting of the occupancy to 55 when the prior usage occupancy was 83. Van Zomeren indicated that the number was derived from the school's maximum enrollment. Gowen said she would prefer the number be increased to allow a change in enrollment. Kelley inquired if the building code would require the building be sprinkled. Jabbour indicated that this issue was not in the Council's jurisdiction. Schneider reported that he would perform what is required for the given occupancy and accept code standards. For the record, Schneider said he did disagree with the assignment of the occupancy as the change in classification triggers meeting the building code regulations. He noted this is a separate issue and is willing to proceed with the application based on the Planning Commission's recommendation and according to the resolution as stated. He does, • however, question the findings of the Staff. 15
