( #4) #1811 C. JACK REMIEN,
3237 CASCO CIRCLE - VARIANCE
Mr. Remien was present.
Mayor Callahan referred to a letter from Gary Nasiedlek, the only
new item since the last meeting.
It was moved by Hurr, seconded by Goetten, to approve Application
#1811 for C. Jack Remien, 3237 Casco Circle, for lot area and lot
width variances to construct a new residence.
Jabbour apologized for not attending the last meeting. He reviewed
approximately 5 years ago the Council changed the policy regarding
lots owned in common ownership. He stated he personally does not
want higher density, but also does not want to force people to
develop lots so they do not lose the right to do so.
Mayor Callahan clarified that Mr. Nasiedlek's letter infers that
if the lot belonged to anyone else but Remien, it could be built
upon with variance approval.
Mabusth stated that the rights of someone else are no different
than Mr. Remien's with respect to this lot. Both would need
variance approval to develop. She stated the policy change intended •
that ownership of lots not be considered with regard to development
of a property.

( #5) #1825 THOMAS L. MCCARTHY,
2490 OLD BEACH ROAD - PRELIMINARY SUBDIVISION
Thomas McCarthy and Mark Gronberg were present.
Mabusth referred to a plat map of the area indicating only one
other lot large enough to possible be subdivided. She reminded them
of the Hepp application, in the same neighborhood, which was denied
because of an existing easement area that had to be deducted from
the total acreage. The new shore land regulations allow for flag
lots to be developed. The applicant is now proposing a 9.6' wide
drive in the 250 -500' zone meeting the allowed 30% hardcover.
Jabbour questioned whether the drive would be wide enough for
• emergency vehicles.
Mayor Callahan clarified that the shore land regulations were an
overlay of existing ordinances, and therefore the flag lot could
still not be approved.
Gaffron explained with the adoption of the new ordinance, the
definition of measuring lot width was changed for the entire
chapter.
Cook noted the road is only necessary to.be wider for emergency
vehicles. He stated the road could easily be widened in the future
even if approved at the narrower width.
Hurr questioned the minimum standards for a private road.
Gaffron replied a private road is required to be 28' wide when
serving 7 or more residences.
Mabusth stated there are parts of Shorehills Road that are only 10
1/2' wide.
Gronberg stated the Long Lake Fire Department has indicated most
trucks measure 7.8' across the wheel base, and the largest truck
they have is 8.1'.
• Jabbour felt they were obligated to consider public safety.

ZONING FILE #1825 - CONT.
Dan Sad Iack, 2409 Old Beach Road, stated during the Planning
Commission a petition of opposition was presented expressing
concerns for environment, aethestic, and safety on the single lane.
Mayor Callahan noted the objections raised at the Planning
Commission were valid, but added if the applicant meets all the
rules and regulations of the City, they are required to approve the
application.
Hurr felt there should only be one curb cut allowed for the
property and should be on an outlot.
Kathleen Ronald, 2480 Old Beach Road, stated they purchased their
property because it was a two acre parcel with privacy. Because of
the elevation of the McCarthy property and the addition of a new
residence, that privacy will be lost.
Paul Anderson, 2530 Old Beach Road, asked the required cul -de -sac •
radius.
Mabusth indicated a cul -de -sac is required to have a 100' platted
right -of -way diameter and 80' paved width. The turnaround currently
located at the end of the street does not meet the standards, but
the right -of -way is available.
Staunton stated the code indicates it is the obligation of the
developer to bring the road up to standard.
Jabbour reminded the public that the applicant is not requesting
any variances with the most recent proposal.
David Schneider, 2540 Old Beach Road, expressed opposition to the
proposal.
Jabbour noted if the application meets all standards, regardless
of the affect it will have on aesthetics, they must approve.
Hurr indicated the City Engineer suggested only one curb cut for
the property because of safety reasons, and she felt they should
listen to his recommendation.
It was moved by Hurr, seconded by Goetten, to deny Application
#1825 for Thomas L. McCarthy, 2490 Old Beach Road, for a
preliminary subdivision because they felt there should only be one .
curb cut for the property which does not leave enough acreage to
subdivide, based upon the City Engineer's recommendation.

Gronberg asked if they would consider the application if the
developer upgraded the road.
McCarthy requested the application be tabled for 30 days:
Hurr withdrew her motion, and Goetten withdrew her second.
It was moved by Hurr, seconded by Goetten, to continue Application
01825 for Thomas L. McCarthy, 2490 Old Beach Road, to the July 26,
1993 meeting to allow the applicant time to revise his proposal.

2166 SHADYWOOD ROAD - VARIANCE - RESOLUTION #3295
It was moved by Jabbour, seconded by Mayor Callahan, to adopt
Resolution #3295 for Application #1826 for Robert and Ann Henson,
• 2166 Shadywood Road, approving variance for the construction of an
attached garage and lakeside deck. Ayes 5, nays 0.
( #7) #1831 EDWARD ENGLER,
3450 BIRCH LANE - VARIANCE - RESOLUTION #3296
Mr. and Mrs. Engler were present.
Mabusth explained the applicants propose the addition of a 10x20'
lakeside addition to be placed over an existing patio, with the
remainder of patio to be removed, and a 16x24' addition to the east
side of the residence. Fourteen percent of the excessive hardcover
in the 75 -250' zone is due to the asphalt drive which is used as
a turnaround for Birch Lane and used by the City for snow storage.
The Planning Commission requested an easement over the asphalt
area, but the applicants did not wish to encumber the property with
an easement. A condition of the approval resolution is that the
City be allowed continued usage of this area, and the applicants
have agreed to such.
Staunton noted the condition of the resolution will not be binding
to future owners.
Hurr felt if this is being considered as a hardship for the
granting of the variance, then they should require the easement.
• Goetten objected as they have never required an easement in the
past.

Staunton noted the City could deny any subsequent owners future
improvements if the condition were not upheld.
Gerhardson noted the City has been using the asphalt area for 27+
years without a problem.
Kepley disagreed with the Planning Commission recommendation for
approval as they are exchanging non- structural hardcover for
structural hardcover.
Mabusth agreed, but noted according to the applicants' contractor,
the foundation could not support a second story
Hurr noted one hardship stated is financial reasons.
Mabusth said State Statute allows financial considerations as one
of the hardships.
It was moved by Jabbour, seconded by Mayor Callahan, to adopt •
Resolution #3296 for Application #1831 for Edward Engler, 3450,
Birch Lane, for variances to construct additions to his residence.
Ayes 3, nays 1. Kelley voted nay and Hurr abstained. Motion

( #9) #1838 ROBERT OWENS,
1700 BOHNS POINT ROAD - CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT - RESOLUTION #3298
Mr. Owens was present.
Hurr questioned the hardcover percentages for the site.
Mabusth responded that there will be an additional 82 s.f. of
hardcover in-the 0 -75' zone because of the tiered walls.
Hurr asked if this is the only way to repair the wall.

Mabusth replied this is the preferred design. She noted the
Planning Commission requested screening of the concrete patio wall
with vines. She added the slopes will be reduced to 3:1 making the
area much easier to maintain.
It was moved by Jabbour, seconded by Goetten, to adopt Resolution
#3298 for Application #1838 Robert Owens, 1700 Bohns Point Road,

( #10) ORDINANCE AMENDMENT CHAPTER 5.42 - ORDINANCE #117, SECOND
SERIES
Gaffron referred to the draft ordinance presented in December 1992
which separates the joint use dock license from the marina
licenses. He noted the addition of a suspension of the marina
license in the ordinance allowing the City to remove the license
• for a shorter period of time than an entire year. It would be
considered a misdemeanor to operate without a license.
•
Staunton noted the City could build into its ordinance sanctions
for the misdemeanor.
Mayor Callahan stated it is as simple as no license, no
operation ".
Gaffron stated in the past Orono has been concerned that marinas
do not make good neighbors. He referred to the list of permitted
business uses included in the revised draft ordinance. He noted the
license can be issued without meeting all the B -2 zone standards.
Kelley felt some items on the list cannot be quantified.
Gaffron replied that many of the standards included are directly
from the existing B -2 standards.
Jabbour asked if there has been input from marina owners.
Gaffron noted that the marinas were notified of the proposed
ordinance but he has not received any comments.
Kelley asked if all marinas currently meet the 7 criteria set
forth.

ORDINANCE AMENDMENT - CONT.
Gaffron noted most meet the criteria, but things change frequently
and they may not always meet all the operational criteria on a day -
to -day or hour -to -hour basis. That is why it is important that
marinas micro - manage their operations.
Jabbour noted in the recent past marinas have gone out of their way
to more fully comply.
Gaffron concurred. He stated all the marinas have agreed to a site
plan on file at the City, and they general 1:/ meet all the criteria.
Jabbour stated they must realize that marinas exist and the City
is not willing to go to court over this issue. He stated they must
work with marinas to make them comply as often as possible.
Hurr noted one condition of approval of the license is a current
LMCD License.
Mayor Callahan suggested they remove that condition. •
It was moved by Mayor Callahan, seconded by Kelley, to adopt
Ordinance #117, Second Series, Joint Use Dock and Marina Licensing,
Section 5.42 -5.43, adding minimum operational standards and
revocation clause and removing the condition of requiring the LMCD
license. Ayes 3, nays 1. Hurr voted nay and Jabbour abstained.
Motion carried.
( #11) 1993 MARINA LICENSES
It was moved by Mayor Callahan, seconded by Kelley, to approve the
1993 marina licenses for the following:
Windward Marina
Minnetonka Boat Works
Sailors World
Lakeside Marina
Gayles Marina
Crystal Bay Service
Ayes 3, nays 1. Hurr voted nay because staff could not assure her
all the marinas meet the required criteria. Jabbour abstained.

Navarre Cove Homeowners Association. Ayes 5, nays 0.
( #13) ALAN NETTLES, 1940 SHORELINE DRIVE — SEWER REQUEST
Mr. Nettles was present.
Gaffron explained the Nettles property is adjacent to the Crystal
Bay sewer project. The applicant requests permission to connect to
the sewer as his septic system is failing. Gaffron said to do so
the City must readjust the MUSA boundaries, and questioned whether
the Council would like to consider other properties at the same
time. The applicant also requests that the sewer connection charge
be assessed to his property over 15 years_ He reminded them this
is Lakeshore property.
Mayor Callahan suggested inclusion of other properties with the
request to extend the MUSA boundaries, such as the sewer plant
property.
Gaffron indicated there were other property owners near this
residence who have inquired whether sewer could be extended to
serve them.
Mayor Callahan suggested staff research the possibilities and
report back to Council.
Jabbour recommended they go forward with the request to sewer
Nettle's property.
Kelley questioned whether the property would be reassessed if
connected at this time and later sewer was installed in the area.
Mayor Callahan suggested the City would be fair about the
situation.
Hurr suggested they request an easement across the property for
future expansion of the sewer system. Shia asked that properties
benefitting be required to pay the cost to realign the MUSA
boundaries. She questioned the ability to subdivide this or other
properties in the area.

1940 SHORELINE DRIVE - CONT.
Gaffron stated this parcel could not be subdivided and he was
unaware of any other in the area. He noted in the past the City has
been able to uphold its requirement of larger parcels even in
sewered areas.
Jabbour asked the expected time frame'for a MUSA expansion.
Gaffron stated the Metropolitan Council has indicated if the City
is willing to do a trade -off of existing MUSA acreage, they could
fast track the request and have approval within 4 to 6 weeks,
otherwise it would be 90+ days for approval. He noted Noerenburg
Park may be an option for a trade.
Mayor Callahan suggested staff investigate whether a trade is
available, and directed staff to review adjacent properties and
others in the City for sewer expansion.
Mayor Callahan recessed the meeting from 9:55 to 10:00 p.m.
(*#14) SHORELAND ORDINANCE - DNR APPROVAL RECEIVED
It was moved by Jabbour, seconded by Mayor_Callahan, to accept the
information regarding the DNR approval of the Shoreland Ordinance
as presented. Ayes 5, nays 0.
( #15) SHORELAND SEPTIC SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
Kelley questioned the number of properties affected by the
shoreland regulations with regard to septic systems. He asked if
variances will be allowed.
Goetten noted she recently spoke with a resident, and indicated to
him that the City may have some flexibility when requiring a system
to conform. She felt it to be an undue hardship to require a
property owner to immediately upgrade a non - conforming system.
Gaffron explained most systems less than 10 years old most likely
will not be affected. He noted out of 1,200 systems in the City,
600 probably will be required to be upgraded within the next few
years, which is not a feasible number for staff to monitor or
homeowners to comply with. He noted per the current septic program,
owners have one year to comply if their system is found to be non-
conforming. The DNR's ordinance suggests a 2 year grace period.
Gaffron felt this may allow the City additional flexibility..

SHORELAND SEPTIC SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS - CONT.
Mayor Callahan suggested they research the possibility of a program
similar to sewer project financing whereby the public could borrow
at a low rate for long periods for system repair /replacement.
All members agreed with this suggestion.
Goetten felt they should gather all pertinent information prior to
holding an informational meeting.
Gaffron explained under the current septic program, it will take
three years to inspect every system and to do the necessary soil
boring tests to confirm the separation.

time. They just come in and grind it up and then haul it up here
