� <br /> • REGULAR MEETING OF THE ORONO COUNCIL, JUNE 13, 1977 Page 17 <br /> � A reduction in this natural filtration would result VARIANCE <br /> in pollution of Lake Minnetonka and ground water 4735 Tonka View Lane <br /> �supply. (Continued) <br /> � Our current zoning ordinance and the ordinance <br /> • previously adopted in 1967 (Section 31. 201) <br /> states that a lot of record is one under single <br /> � separate ownership, not two adjoining lots in <br /> corunon ownership. <br /> � <br /> Council Meeting - June 13 , 1977 <br /> � <br /> Mr. P�Iuhich also displayed maps showing how other <br /> � substandard lots in the area were combined to <br /> • provide buildable lots. Mr. Pduhich also cornmented <br /> that there are other lots in the area that could be <br /> � combined to this proposed site to create a standard <br /> buildable lot, which will protect storm water <br /> � runoff and other environment concerns in the area. <br /> � Mr.Haglund, representing Mr. Rud, commented that <br /> the City has an obligation to allow Mr. Rud to <br /> � build a house on a small lot, particularly when <br /> � sewers are available and when small lots <br /> predominate. This proposal is not a threat to <br /> � safety, health and welfare of the public. The <br /> City is over-turning prior Council action and is <br /> � denying low income housing. There is no factual <br /> �asis for the Zoning Aciministrator' s recommendations. <br /> � <br /> • Mayor Van P1est commented that denser development <br /> will create other watershed problems. There is <br /> � documented rationale for the present zoning and <br /> City policy is not to allow development on sub- <br /> � standard lots or to create within a division sub- <br /> standard lots. These particular lots were platted <br /> � many years ago and the zoning has changed as has <br /> • many other requirements which are in the public <br /> interest and cannot be ignored. Other properties <br /> � in the past have been combined and in the past, <br /> assessments have been abated to provide one buildable <br /> � lot. <br /> � Mr. Rud was asked: when did he purchase the property? <br /> � Pdr. Rud: Not sure of definite date. <br /> � I�Iayor Van Nest moved, Paurus seconded, to table the <br /> � request of T. Kenneth Rud, 4735 Tonka View Lane, <br /> until the meeting of June 27, 1977 to allow staff <br /> � tine to review previous Council actions and common <br /> ownership status.
