( #4) #1860 ZELMA McKINNEY, 3599 LIVINGSTON AVENUE - CONTINUATION OF
REVIEW OF CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT APPLICATION
Mayor Callahan explained that Council was to consider whether a driveway should be accessed
off of Blaine Avenue or Livingston Avenue. He added that all Councilmembers should have
received a letter from the neighbors' attorney expressing the view that the City is not required
to grant a conditional use permit. Callahan had asked City Attorney Staunton to review the
letter from the Lommen Nelson law firm. City Attorney Staunton reaffirmed his opinion that
the City must grant a conditional use permit in this case and the City does not have the ability
to add an owner occupied status as a condition of the conditional use. •
Callahan stated there were two concerns remaining:
1. Has the property been used according to the Code?
2. Parking issues.
Mabusth explained the two parking options:
1. Access from Livingston Avenue with the existing drive to be realigned.
Hardcover will be an issue in this option with the addition of two parking stalls.
City Engineer Cook commented on drainage in the area stating it would be hard
to calculate the overall effect of this small additional amount of hardcover.
However, anything done in the area will impact the watershed.
2. Creation of a new curb cut off of Blaine Avenue. The 15' street setback would
allow parking at 15'. Backing out onto Blaine Avenue would result. Additional
land alterations would be required according to the City Engineer. City Engineer
Cook added that a "daylight area" would need to be created to the north and that
clear visibility would have to be maintained involving the neighbor to the south.
He stated this access could be made safe but there would be significant impact on
the property.

In response to the question of the use of the property in the past, Mabusth advised there were
missing receipts from approximately July 1967 - January 1969. Gayle Siegler explained that
during this time period her father had been undergoing heart surgeries. She felt she could
substantiate that the property had always been a rental property.
Karen Cuff, 3570 Livingston Avenue, stated that she had calculated the hardcover. according to
the survey submitted and noted a total of 23.3 %. Adding either driveway would exceed the 30%
allowed. She also stated that she had obtained information on the Uniform Building Code and
Fire Codes in effect at the time of construction and noted that if a home was built as a duplex,
a sound barrier between levels would have been required as well as smoke detectors (fire
alarms), some lighting requirements, interior door specifications, etc. She asked that Council
consider the impact the excess hardcover would have in the area.
Greg Goodfellow, 3585 Livingston Avenue, noted that runoff is a problem in this neighborhood
and it does not have to be a 100 -year rain. He also commented that in 1978 the McKinney's
applied for a building permit which added additional bulk to the building. The statute stated that
there was to be no increase or bulk added to the building as of January 1, 1975. However, the
City allowed this to happen. He expressed his wish that the Council consider the letter received
• from their attorney.
Goodfellow also noted that in January of 1983, Pat Molene who rented the third apartment at
3585 Livingston Avenue, filed a complaint with the City of Orono asking why this property
could be used as triplex. The Code states a non - conforming use cannot be changed to another
non - conforming use. Goodfellow felt a triplex would be considerably different than a duplex.
Callahan noted that this application was for a duplex not a triplex. Mabusth confirmed that the
application was for the continuation of a non - conforming use, in this case a duplex.
Jabbour asked if a reduction in density would constitute abandonment of the conditional use.
City Attorney Staunton replied that if there had been three units, moving to two units would not
be considered abandonment. Jabbour thought the Council should consider if there was an intent
for the property to be used as a duplex throughout its history.
Kelley did not want to vote on this issue until there was proof of the use of the property during
the missing 18 months of receipts.
Hurr asked if a conditional use permit was conditioned upon the owner staying there, would it
lapse upon the owner's departure?

( #4) #1860 ZELMA WKINNEY, 3599 LIVINGSTON AVENUE - CONT.
City Attorney Staunton responded that in this conditional use permit, the duplex use would
remain regardless of ownership. He noted that the use must remain the same as that prior to
the change in Zoning Code. If the Council determines the use has been continuous, the
conditional use permit is a mechanism for registering with the City the duplex use of this
property.
Hurr asked if there was any time frame for a property to be brought into compliance with City
codes. City Attorney Staunton confirmed there was nothing in the code. The only way the
conditional use permit would lapse is if there was a significant change such as the building being
destroyed, the use abandoned or significant change in the non - conforming nature of the use.
Mabusth added that now the application for a building permit for multiple units in a single
family zoning district would trigger the application for a conditional use permit.
Hurr asked if this were being assessed as two units. Mabusth noted the applicant was receiving
a percentage of the homestead credit because of the rental unit. Siegler thought Hennepin
County was listing the property as a multiple use but Orono lists as single family.
Jabbour noted the idea of willful abandonment should be considered.
Mike Swanson, 3596 Lyric Avenue, stated that if the driveway were constructed off of Blaine •
in back of his property, it would impact his property and cause a problem when he puts up a
garage. He has concern over the sale of the property if Mrs. McKinney no longer lives there.
An absentee owner could be much different.
Elizabeth Goodfellow, 3585 Livingston Avenue, stated there were several issues that were
unclarified.
1. Can the City lawfully issue a conditional use permit?
2. Parking - The City's ordinances require additional parking in order for this
property to be used as a duplex. She felt there was not a reasonable answer to
the parking problem, therefore the conditional use permit should not be granted.
None of the neighbors want the parking expanded. She asked how the Council
could justify granting a conditional use permit when the parking needs were not
satisfied.
Harvey Reder, 3598 Livingston Avenue, asked if the Council would consider three parking
spaces instead of four as he had suggested at a previous meeting.

Hurr asked for clarification of the parking requirement. Mabusth stated the garage stalls could
be counted as well as other designated parking spaces. Mabusth noted this property is not within
1000' of the shoreline, and if it were it would be allowed 35 % hardcover, so hardcover is not
an issue. Lot coverage could be an issue but there is not any structure being added.
Goetten asked about triggers that may have been in place for a conditional use permit in 1968.
Mabusth confirmed there is more zoning review done today than in the past.
Kelley asked if Goetten thought the interruption in rental in the late 1960's may not have an
effect because the code changed in 1975.
City Attorney Staunton explained that since the property was used as a duplex before the zoning
code made it non - conforming, it could continue as duplex use.
Mabusth added the code changed in 1962 so the use would have had to have been in existence
in 1962 and continued through to present. City Attorney Staunton continued that according to
the code in 1978, expansion of the bulk of the building would not have been allowed if a
conditional use permit was in place. The City should probably not have allowed this expansion,
• but it did. This still does not affect the use of the property.
City Attorney Staunton explained the concepts of abandonment and discontinuance.
Abandonment requires the intent to no longer use the property in the designated way as well as
the discontinuance of the use. The Code talks about discontinuance for over 12 months. There
is a presumption that if there is a discontinuance for longer than 12 months, there is intent to
abandon the use unless there is evidence of no intent to abandon. If they were unable to rent
the property for a time, that would not constitute abandonment.
Hurr asked about the utilities. Mabusth confirmed they have two gas meters and one water
meter. Sewer was installed in the early 1960's. Hun questioned if there should be two sewer
assessments. Mabusth replied that staff has recommended that Council look at requiring the
payment of another SAC and sewer assessment.
Hurr questioned if the non - conforming use changed from two to three to two rental units if this
wouldn't indicate a change of use. City Attorney Staunton confirmed the two - family use would
not have changed even though there may have been an increase. The change would have to be
to another use such as retail to qualify as a change in use. Hurr questioned if the code was clear
on whether a change in density would constitute a change in use. Staunton responded that the
code only states a "change in use".

Hun agreed with Kelley that further documentation would be needed to prove continued duplex
use before she could make a decision.
Mayor Callahan noted that since most of the receipts exist, it is assumed the missing receipts
also exist. He felt it questionable that there was a willful abandonment.
Jabbour asked the City Attorney what liability the City has in issuing the building permit in
1978. Staunton thought it would be difficult to make the owners rebuild the house as it was in
1978.
Mayor Callahan asked if the building currently meets the fire codes for a duplex. Mabusth
responded that there is no housing code in Orono for rental properties. The Building Inspector
did make an inspection of the property and there are some recommendations for corrections of
recent improvements.
Jabbour felt it obvious the property has been used as a duplex and it would be the City's job to
prove the owners willingly abandoned the duplex use. He added that he sees the City's only
choice to grant the conditional use permit based on the recent discussions. He also did not think
parking should impact the neighbors and would be agreeable to three parking spaces.
Hun asked about a previous memo that brought up concerns about the regulation of storage of
boats, etc. on the property and if there could be conditions to regulate this in the conditional use
permit. Staunton explained that regulations on the storage of boats, etc.. would be pursuant to
the code regardless of whether there is a conditional use permit granted. He stated that this
property cannot be treated any differently than any other in the same zoning district because of
the conditional use permit.
Hurr felt that additional conditions could be put on a property if it has a conditional use permit.
Jabbour suggested that if a parking variance were granted, additional conditions could be added
to the variance regarding boat storage, etc. This would help to control the water runoff and
hardcover in the area.
A motion was made by Jabbour, seconded by Goetten, to grant a conditional use permit for
duplex use and a variance to the requirement for four parking stalls because of the City ;s
intention to reduce water runoff in this part of the City. A condition of the variance resolution
will be that no additional exterior parking, i.e. RVs, boats, campers, tractors, trailers,
snowmobiles, etc., will be allowed on the property. Ayes 4, nays 1. Hurr opposed the motion.
Hurr asked that the resolution include the payment of SAC and sewer assessment.

• ( #8) PAUL AND VeNITA SCHNEBELE, 835 FOREST ARMS LANE - VARIANCE -
RESOLUTION NO. 3362
Mabusth explained the applicants are seeking approval of an average lakeshore setback variance
for a family room addition. The applicants have advised that they are in the process of making
landscape improvements involving the removal of plastic underliners. The excesses of hardcover
within the 250 -500' setback area will be removed. Overall hardcover is at 15 %.
Jabbour suggested that the density that is added in the 250 -500' setback area be subtracted from
the 75 -250' zone and included in the resolution. Mabusth noted that with the removal of plastic
in the 250 -500' setback area, this brings hardcover down to 24% where they would be allowed
30 %. In this case, it is not appropriate to include in the resolution but Jabbour felt for the
future there should be a policy that if hardcover is over in one area, it should be subtracted in
another so the total will never exceed the maximum hardcover allowed.
Goetten asked to have hardcover in the 0 -75' setback area noted in the resolution for permanent
record.
It was moved by Jabbour, seconded by Kelley, to approve Resolution No. 3362 granting a
variance to permit the construction of an addition to the west and lakeside of the existing
residence to be placed 20' in front of the average lakeshore setback line for Paul and VeNita

(#9) FRONT/BACK LOT REQUIREMENTS - ORDINANCE
Gaffron felt some additional changes would make the ordinance more user friendly.
Mayor Callahan suggested that Gaffron check with the Planning Commission Chair to see if he
thought the changes suggested were significant enough to be reviewed by the Planning
Commission. If not, bring back to Council for approval in the revised form.
A motion was made by Hurr, seconded by Jabbour, to table adoption of the ordinance amending
the Municipal Zoning Code and Subdivision Code by defining standards for the creation and use
of lots which do not abut a public or private road. Ayes 5, nays 0.
MAYOR/COUNCIL REPORT
1) Hurr asked to discuss the memo regarding Police Lieutenant Salary Negotiations. She
was opposed to the merit pay concept because no other employees are involved with this
and does not want the City Administrator to proceed as proposed.
City Administrator Moorse commented that currently the lieutenants have a 5 % merit pay
amount that is not based on performance. Moorse is suggesting making this performance
based. Some Council members felt merit pay should then be done for all employees. •
Moorse thought they could move in this direction, but not all at one time.
Mayor Callahan thought the City Administrator should negotiate the contract with the
lieutenants and the Council could then either give other employees an equal share or
reject the contract. Hun stated she was giving direction as to what she considered
acceptable.
2) Hurr asked about travel expenses related to the Finance Director picking up materials
from LOGIS, the City's data processing vendor. City Administrator Moorse explained
this is cheaper than using another service or having another employee drive to Logis for
pick -ups.
Jabbour suggested Moorse check with some delivery services to get cost comparisons.
An educated comparison can then be made. Goetten agreed.
3) Kelley reported that he met with the Long Lake Fire Commission and spoke about the
relief association as well as some other matters and felt all was going well. The Fire
Commission did ask if they are getting the 2% commission from the State after the
district lines were redrawn in the Fox Street area. The cities will get further information
on this.

4) Jabbour expressed his appreciation to the Planning Commission for their professional
handling of the zoning applications.
5) Jabbour also reported that payment for the new facilities is almost complete and project
costs have come within $1,000 of the budget. One cold storage building was eliminated
to stay within the budget.
6) Goetten expressed her concern for the sun problem in the administrative office and
inquired about the status of the order for shades. Moorse explained that the original
order was lost by the vendor during a move to a new office location. The blinds were
reordered approximately six weeks ago and should be in fairly soon.
CITY ADMINISTRATOR'S REPORT
( #10) TAX FORFEIT PROPERTIES - RESOLUTION NO. 3363
Hurr asked about the access over Highview Road and if it was a fully improved road access.
• Mabusth explained access was via a small alleyway that is undeveloped. She added it will not
be an easy property to develop but is very beautiful.
A motion was made by Hurr, seconded by Goetten, to approve the sale of the tax forfeit
property and retention by the City of the other piece.
Kelley asked if the City had "first rights" to the property if they wanted to buy it. Jabbour
noted the City would have to have a purpose for it. The County contacts the City in case the
City would condemn it for road development, sewer, etc. Gerhardson confirmed the property
could be retained for park purposes. Kelley thought the City should consider keeping the
property rather than "giving it away". Gerhardson stated a buildable property such as this is
usually sold. Mabusth explained that there were 10 potential buildable lots on this larger piece
of property. Kelley asked again why the City did not attempt to purchase this piece if they can
get it for the market value of $41,500. Councilmembers agreed that further information should
be obtained about the possibility of acquiring this land.
Hurr withdrew her previous motion.
Kelley made a motion, Goetten seconded, to table consideration of the tax forfeited land, P.I.D.

year. City Administrator Moorse responded he would check into this further.
A motion was made by Callahan, seconded by Jabbour, to adopt Resolution No. 3364 providing

but paid off.
A motion was made by Jabbour, seconded by Goetten, to adopt Resolution No. 3366 calling for
the redemption of the general obligation bonds of 1980. Ayes 5, nays 0.

( #15) INSURANCE AGENT OF RECORD
Hurr asked if these charges were typical and if the City went out for bids. City Administrator
Moorse replied that bids were obtained when this agent was hired and bids will be done again
during the next year. He felt this agreement was comparable to other cities and probably lower
than other cities similar to Orono.
It was moved by Hurr, seconded by Jabbour, to appoint Mr. Duweyn Carlson, Apple Valley
Agency, as Insurance Agent of Record for 1994, at a fee not to exceed $7,650.00, including
commissions earned on policy premiums paid by the City. Ayes 5, nays 0.
( * #16) APPOINTMENT OF AUDIT FIRM
Hurr noted that it costs the City $2,000+ a year to obtain the financial award.
City Administrator Moorse explained that when the City first started the process to get this
award, there was a lot of work to do but now it is maintenance.
Hun thought the award may not be necessary every year since there is a cost of $2,250 annually
for the certificate program.
Goetten explained that she worked hard at getting this program in place because she felt this was
a way for Orono to show financial stability.
City Administrator Moorse stated that part of the program is to follow good financial procedures
and this meets standards set by the State and National Organization of Financial Officers.
Moorse explained that the costs related to the award are not a payment for the award, but rather
are for assistance in keeping up with new accounting standards related to both good financial
practices and the receipt of the award.
Hurr asked if the City could meet those standards without paying the costs each year. Kelley
thought the standards would change yearly and would be good to keep up with them as they are
updated.
It was moved by Jabbour, seconded by Goetten, to appoint the audit firm of Malloy, Karnowski,
Radosevich & Co. to perform the required audits for the 1993 fiscal year at an estimated cost
of $15,700 plus direct expenses and to assist with the Certificate of Achievement in Financial
Reporting program at a cost not to exceed $1,500. Ayes 5, nays 0.

( #17) INFORMATION ON MEDIATION MEETING (ORAL REPORT)
City Administrator Moorse reported that the Highway 12 Mediation Meeting identified the
characteristics of a good solution including:
1. Survival of the two communities in their current status.
2. Responding to the safety concerns of the current highway.
3. Whatever is built should be an economically sound investment.
4. Compatibility with regional transportation system.
5. Environmentally sensitive.
6. Solution should expedite a decision on the location.
7. Survival of Maple Plain.
Traffic capacity needs were discussed and whether other roadways could be considered to help
with the traffic flow. Further study needs to be done in this area.
Some action steps discussed were:
1. To re- examine the traffic projections.
2. To consider the extent to which other roads can be used.
3. To consider segregating types of traffic on specific roadways.
Some suggestions were made for focusing on the issues. If the two cities and MnDot agree on a
the type and location of a road that would be acceptable, then study could continue for capacity,
safety, and environmental needs. Another suggestion is to look at the characteristics of a good
solution and try to agree on a solution before proceeding with the analysis of the traffic needs.
Mayor Callahan agreed with the points discussed. He was the only other Orono representative
present at the meeting. He did not think having 5 representatives was necessary or useful but
only 1 representative may not be enough.
Jabbour wants to be sure that only one representative at the meeting would not be interpreted
as non - interest. He suggested a mutual agreement with Long Lake as to the number of
representatives that would be appropriate at each meeting. Other Councilmembers agreed with
this suggestion. Goetten and Kelley had both talked with Long Lake representatives who also
agree with this approach.
Mayor Callahan stated there was also a recent Highway 12 Policy Committee meeting. The
economists that have been considered to do the Economic Impact Study had second thoughts
about the study being useful to Orono. They agreed they would redo the traffic projections and
look at them in a "screenline process" which means they would look at traffic levels at several
"boundary" locations between Willmar and Minneapolis.
