MINUTES
Regular Meeting of the Planning Commission, March 18, 1974.
Chairman VanNest called the meeting to order at 7:30 P.M.
All members were present.
Kullberg moved, Gasch seconded the approval of the February
12, 1974, Minutes.
Gasch moved, Guthrie seconded the approval of the March 5,
1974, Minutes of the I.D.S. Public Hearing. `
Kullberg moved, Pesek seconded the approval of the March 13,
1974, Minutes of the Rezoning Public Hearing.
Chairman VanNest opened the Public Hearing at 7:35. The Cheyenne Land Company
Zoning Administrator presented the Affidavit of Publication, Public Hearing
the Notice of Public Hearing, and the Certificate of Mailing,
to the affected property owners.
The application involved the platting of 45 acres into 32
building sites. The following people appeared and were given
an opportunity to be heard:
Comments:
Mr. Graff presented to the Planning Commission all the pre-
liminary plats that McCombs- Knutson has presented so far in-
cluding a new one, Plat E. Each of the preliminary plats was
submitted as an alternative for approval by the Planning
Commission.
There has been a City -wide subdivision and building morator-
ium in Orono. Despite the fact that the subdivisions present-
ed by Cheyenne Land Development meet the previous zoning re-
quirements, there was the understanding from the beginning
that this area may be zoned for 2 acres. In addition, the
wetlands as they are shown on the preliminary plat, do not
seem to correspond to the USGS map or the figures presented
in the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District`s storm water run-
off plan for Orono.
Name:
Mr. Graff
Attorney for Cheyenne
Land Company
Chairman VanNest
In our opinion, the moratorium is invalid. Since the Planning Mr. Graff
Commission is about to make a recommendation regarding the new
zoning ordinance, there is no longer a need for the moratorium.
The Minnehaha Creek Watershed District has submitted a letter Mr. Knutson
stating that they agree with the figure of 5.3 acres of marsh-
es on the Cheyenne property.
Kullberg moved, Guthrie seconded that the City Administrator
hire an engineering firm to review the wetlands acreage as it
G is shown on the Cheyenne preliminary plat to make sure that
they are correct.
I am concerned about the amount of traffic that development Mrs. Whitehead
would generate and the inability of Orono Orchard to handle
this traffic. If road improvement and bridge improvements
have to be made, will the developee• pay for this? Do they
have sewer to hook up to? If this development goes in, will
this tend to create pressure to service the entire area with
sewer and water? With the proposed Highway 12 going through
this area, is it possible to require them to-- cluster their
housing to avoid the need for removing the homes if, and
when, Highway 12 is completed?
I also have a concern about the amount of traffic on Orono
Orchard Road. With the amount of swamp on this property, it
does not seem possible that they can get 35 lots.
There must be 10 to 15 acres of wetlands on this property.
There also are problems with drainage in this area.
The Planning Commission has designated this property as part
of a plan study area. The Planning Commission will be stud-
ying this area as well as others in the next 6 months to
incorporate the information into a Comprehensive Plan. If,
in the next 6 months, sewer becomes available, the Comprehen-
sive Plan could show this area for some higher density land
use.
After all people were afforded the opportunity to be heard,
Chairman VanNest closed the public hearing at 8:12 P.M.

Chairman VanNest opened the Public Hearing at 8:15 P.M. for Fred Holasek, Jr.
consideration of a conditional use for a greenhouse at 3825 Public Hearing
6th Avenue North. The Zoning Administrator presented the
Notice of Public Hearing, the Affidavit of Publication, and
the Certificate of Mailing to the affected property owners.
Fred Holasek, Jr. is a junior at Orono High School, and is
interested in horticulture. He would like to be able to con-
struct a greenhouse to see whether he wants to make this his
life's profession. The following persons appeard and were
given an opportunity to be heard:
Comment: Name:
The proposed rezoning for this area is for 5 acre lots. Since Mr. Ray Hagland
this is a preferred housing area, it seems that a greenhouse Representing Ilm.Bartig
would be in conflict with the proposed use.
After all people were afforded an opportunity to be heard,
Chairman VanNest closed the Public Hearing at 8:25 P.M.
Elliott moved, Kullberg seconded that the conditional use per-
mit for the construction of a greenhouse be approved with the
following conditions: (Ayes 8, Mays 0)
1) That the permit will be reviewed every year.
2) The greenhouse must be removed upon the com-
pletion of Fred Holasek, Jr.'s education, July
I, 1976, since this area would not be appro-
priate for a commercial qreenhouse.
Chairman VanNest opened the Public Hearing at 8:30 P.M. for
consideration of a subdivision of a 5 acre parcel into 2 lots
at 3545 6th Avenue North. The Zoning Administrator presented
the Notice of Public Hearing, the Affidavit of Publication,
and the Certificate of Mailing to the affected property owners.
Since nobody present wished to be heard on the Starkey sub-
division, the Public Hearing was closed by Chairman VanNest
at 8:31 P.M.
Chairman VanNest suggested that the Starkey request be tabled
until later in the evening since nobody was-present regarding
the request..
District RR -IA, Single Family, 5 -Acre, Unsewered.
Chairman VanNest suggested that the Planning Commission re-
view omitting the portion that was shown as 5 acres between
Stubbs Bay Road and Crystal Bay Road and between Watertown
Road and the Railroad tracks. The reasons for omitting this
area are that the Metropolitan Interceptor line may run along
Crystal Bay Road. Future Highway 12 may be going through
this area and the area is presently divided by a stream and
marsh area.
Guthrie moved, Gasch seconded that we accept the 5 acre zone
omitting the area between Crystal Bay Rd. on the E. and
Stubbs Bay Rd. on the W.: The Great Northern Railwpy on the
North and Watertown Rd. on the South. Ayes (6) Nays (2).
Kallstad and Elliott - Nays. K.allstad and Elliott opposed
this motion as they felt this area should be kept open and
the best way of doing it is through 5 acre zoning.
District RR -IB, Single Family, 2 -Acre, Unsewered.
Mr. Martin submitted his petition to the Planning Commission
opposing 1/2 acre zoning around Hackberry. Kallstad moved,
Pesek seconded that we accept the 2acre zone as proposed.
In addition, we should include within the 2 acre zone the
area around Hackberry Hill subdivision presently designated
on our map as 1/2 acre zone. Ayes (8) Nays (0)
Commissioner Kulfberg felt that the Planning Commission should
consider extending the industrial zone to the west.
District LR -IA, Single Family, 2 -Acre, Unsewered.
Mr. Gary Simon claimed that if the City wants th6 land they
should condemn it on Big Island. One acre seems more reason-
able.
Commissioner Gasch claimed that the problem with I acre lots
along the lakeshore was that the lots were not big enough for
septic systems.
Commissioner Elliott felt that perhaps a reduction in taxes
would be justifiable due to the lack of services the people
receive on Big Island and Deering Island.
Pesek moved, Gasch seconded that we approve the LR -IA district
and that on Deering Island and Big Island, the Assessor should
examine re- assessment of the property due to the few services
that will.be provided to them. Ayes (8) Nays (0)

store.
The petitioner has submitted a proposal to subdivide 8.9 Kermit Knutson
acres into 8 separate lots and combine them into 4 building Subdivision
sites. The Planning Commission requested that the preliminary
plat conform with the 2 acre lot requirement and would in-
clude a public right -of -way. The Planning Commission called
for a public hearing for April 15, 1974.
Mr. Cox, owner of Lots I, 2 and 3, Casco Point, applied'for Casco Point Corporation
a replat of his 2.37 acres. Mr. Cox has requested 4 lots and
a variance from the 75' lake setback.
Chairman VanNest informed the petitioner that a 75' lake set-
back should be maintained and a wider public road right -of -way
should be shown on teh preliminary plat.
A Public Hearing was scheduled for April 15, 1974. j
i
Mr. Slavik owns two lots on Fagerness Point Road - Plat 5 David Slavik
42220, Parcels 3700 and 3800. The request involves1modify-
ing the lot lines to provide 2 through lots between Webb St.
and Fagerness Point Rd. Mr. Slavik wos informed that the
ordinance discourages against the use of through lots. .
Since the 2 lots are only 23,000 sq. ft., there is also some
question as to whether there are 2 Legal building sites. A
Public Hearing was scheduled for April 15, 1974.
A variance has been requested for Lot 8, Auditors Subdivision Margaret Morton
No.273 to allow an addition to the existing house. The exist-
ing setbacks are no more than 5 ft. from the side lot lines, and

Commissioner Kallstad reported to the Planning Commission on City Hall Site
the work the site committee has completed. It was Mr. Kall- Selection Committee
stad's opinion that the City property at French Lake would be
suitable for the Public Works Department, and the property in

The Zoning Administrator informed the Planning Commission
that the following 4 items should be considered before any

before a variance can be granted for proposed Lot 4 which is
only 1.45 acres. (3) The Planning Commission should make
some recommendations regarding non - riparian rights for Lots
3 and 4. (4) The City Engineer feels that insufficient data
has been submitted in order to make a proper judgment on the
proposed plat.
Pesek moved, Kallestad seconded that the Planning Commission
approve the proposed subdivision which includes a variance
for Lot 4 conditioned on the Engineer's approval. The var-
iance should be granted because of the unique shape of the
property and since the entire lot is 1.9 acres. Ayes (4) Nays

Commission that they could handle this application in one
of 3 ways: (1) Process the application under the present
zoning ordinance under the provision of "single separate
ownership." (2) Require at least 2 lots be combined before
a building permit would be issued. (3) Draft a new section
to the zoning ordinance that would specifically apply to
this particular problem.
Several surrounding property owners rose to object to any
variance that would be granted in the newly created 5 -acre
zone. There was concern that a more intense land use would
create the need for sewer in the future.
Gasch moved, Kullberg seconded that the Planning Commission
table the variance request until the May 20, 1974, Planning
Commission meeting at which time the Zoning Administrator
will submit a recommendation.
The petitioner has requested a variance for a lot which is
31,600 sq. ft. and approximately 70' wide in a I,acre zone.

lot width of 1401. The Zoning Administrator reported that
this area was platted several years ago before the existing
ordinance and none of the lots in the sugdivision meet the
present zoning requirements. Looking at the.tax records, most
people own 2 or 3 lots which would be approximately 16,000 to
24,000 sq, ft. inside. Commissioner Pesek felt that the zon-
ing ordinance should have a standard to follow for situations
like this, but since the standard has not been established, a
recommendation should be made on this particular application.

The Planning Commission tabled their discussion on this Transfer of Credits
item to allow further investigation. It.was felt that this Lakeshore Setbacks
would be part of a comprehensive zoning ordinance and,
therefore, did not have to be discussed immediately.
Because of the late date, the Planning Commission felt that
it would be impossible to make the Marina operators comply
with all sections of the zoning ordinance imnediately. Some
requirements, such as parking standards, should be enforced
and safety standards should be established to protect people
using ;marinas on some of the busy thoroughfares. Require-
ments such as front yard standards, fencing or screening
or the issue of on -land storage cannot be discussed or ad
equately researched before the opening of the 1974 boating
season.
Curtis moved, Kullberg seconded that marinas be - granted their .
1974 licenses approving last year's quota of slips. All code
requirements must'be met within 45 days or the licenses will
be revoked. The motion was withdrawn.
Pesek left the Council Chambers at 11:20 P.m..'
Kallestad moved, Elliott seconded that the Planning CommisT
sion grant conceptual approval for the marina licenses using
L.M.C.D. and City standards regarding parking and dock set-
backs with the most restrictive of these requirements pre-
vailing. These standards will be used in determining the
number of water slips and all on -land storage will be limited
to the number of slips that were approved in 1973. Ayes (6)

The following committee was established to make the final
evaluation to be forwarded to the Council: Commissioner

moved, Hake seconded that the Planning Commission recommend
to the Council that they change the date for the issuing of
Marina licenses from April Ist to April sist to December Ist
to December Ist.
Commissioner Kallestad presented tathe Planning Commission
a report of the site selection committee's in
The study investigated 3 possible sites for a City Hall. The
areas that were considered were the present City Hall site,
the Navarre area, and the area around the Orono school complex.
The.report also explored the possibility of using existing
homesites that could be converted to a City Hall. The J. G.
Scott property in particular was examined by the committee
because of its availability and location.
Commissioner Gasch reported to the Planning Commission that
her committee has been working on this particular issue and
it will take some time before they will be able to make any
recommendations to the Planning Commission. These standards
will not be established soon enough to implement for the 1974
boating season, but should be available for the Planning Com-
mission and Council *s evaluation of marina licenses for next
year.
