Crosby moved, Seals seconded, to approve the Consent Agenda as revised, with Item No. 8 being
removed and Item Nos. 11 and 12 being added. VOTE: Ayes 5, Nays 0.
PUBLIC COMMENTS
None
Edwards addressed Item No. 8 which is a proposal to extend the Water Tower Maintenance contract with
SCH Consulting for another 5 years, noting they are the ones who did the paint and restoration of the
water tower in 2014 and there has been a five-year contract for annual maintenance since then, which is
coming to an end. Edwards clarified the reason the Item was pulled from the Agenda is because they
want to change the payment option to the variable five-year plan as outlined in SCH Consulting’s
proposal.
Johnson moved, Crosby seconded, to approve the variable payment plan for a five-year contract
totaling $92,250 and authorize the budgeting of $18,450 each year. VOTE: Ayes 5, Nays 0.
PLANNING DEPARTMENT REPORT
10. LA20-000009 – DON GAMBLE O/B/O RICHARD A AND KIM A EDWARDS, 2480 AND
2474 CARMAN STREET, SKETCH PLAN
Don Gamble O/B/O Richard A. and Kim A. Edwards, Applicant, was present.
Staff presented a summary packet of information.
Walsh asked regarding Tract A, even though the lagoon separates it and it’s non-contiguous if code
allows to be able to add the land above the lagoon to it.
Barnhart answered adding the lagoon would make it the one-acre gross.
Walsh said regarding Tract B, the issue is the wetland and asked if they can fill the wetland because they
can replace that wetland somewhere else.
Barnhart answered he would have to confirm with the Watershed District but his understanding it they
can fill that in and because it is 400 square feet or less, they do not have to replace it. If they do, they can
identify another location within the Watershed to replace that wetland or buy credits. He said it is a small
area and normally when you start filling in a pond there is a sequence, for example, can the wetland be
avoided, can it be mitigated somewhere onsite, there are three to four steps in the process. Barnhart noted
with a 400 square foot wetland it is not needed to go to those steps which are sometimes a burden to meet,
especially in a community where one doesn’t want to impact wetlands.
Walsh asked if it’s the Council’s discretion, if they want that to happen regardless.
Barnhart answered true.

Printup asked if there is any land there that is used for runoff mitigation from the County Road in the
Navarre area.
Barnhart answered they haven’t done a lot of engineering yet, but the understanding is that quite a bit of
stormwater comes from the shoreline and points North through this property and may impact buildable
sites. He said water does come through and he doesn’t believe there is an easement or anything like that
to protect that area.
Walsh clarified that Tract B meets everything assuming that the wetland gets resolved.
Barnhart answered true.
Walsh asked Barnhart to explain the width issue with Tract A as he didn’t quite understand the specifics.
Barnhart answered when a property owner comes forward and wants to split their property, Staff looks at
whether both lots meet the minimum requirements of the applicable zoning district. In some cases, they
do and in some cases they don’t, and when they don’t Staff looks at the “why.” Is it because the applicant
is not willing to adjust a property line to meet the requirements? Barnhart said in this situation the
Applicant is somewhat fixed by the side lot lines and again it’s up to the Council’s discretion whether or
not they want to support a subdivision that creates a non-conforming lot. He said the issue or comment
he wants to make in regards to this situation is the non-conforming width is what is there now, this
subdivision does not improve it, nor does it hurt it. Barnhart said they’d get to the driveway coming up
later. This subdivision does not increase the non-conformity nor help the non-conformity in terms of
width for the Southern portion of the lot.
Walsh said typically or historically the Council doesn’t approve subdivisions that do not meet the current
requirements.
Barnhart replied for a lot width he cannot remember an approval, and there are other standards in play
that Council has supported in the past, the driveway for example.
Walsh stated as that is his background statement, what would be Barnhart’s recommendation and why
would he and Staff be recommending it.
Barnhart answered he doesn’t know if he has a recommendation, the point here is to see if Council is
comfortable having a situation where they will create a lot that is non-conforming. He noted most other
scenarios where they are creating a non-conforming lot it is an easy and fast no for Staff not to
recommend it and Council not to support it. In this situation it’s a little different in the sense that they did
not create that as a conformity issue.
Johnson stated the question is whether the Council will allow a subdivision on a lot that is already non-
conforming to be divided even though it is a lawful non-conforming lot right now.
Barnhart answered yes that is very well put and is exactly the question in the memo.
Johnson said it’s a non-conforming lot that extends over water to the other side, which has its own
repercussions, and asked for example, if someone wanted more hardcover on one side, would they go
across the bay to someone on the other side to subdivide. He said it opens up some questions for him.

Barnhart asked to hear feedback from the Council, noting the Applicant is here and can address any
questions. With the Council’s feedback they will come back and the Applicant will decide whether or not
to move forward with the project.
Don Gamble, 10704 Water Lily Lane, Woodbury, addressed the Council and noted it’s been a long,
strange time since March but they have endeavored to move forward while addressing everything that is
possible. Two years ago, this process started with the City and they were looking at lots on the North side
having different half-acre zoning and were looking at something entirely different. He stated they’ve
been following the guidance to subdivide the lots and noted the driveway services two homes but it runs
across a third property to get to the road and that is part of the problem, which is kind of an unchangeable
problem. He also said until the first meeting in March, they didn’t realize they could use land North of
the lagoon to satisfy the one-acre and that is what they’ve attempted to do here. Mr. Gamble said they
have talked about the wetlands with the District and they responded that 400 feet is no big deal. They
also talked about vacating all the wetlands and offsetting and other things and the District said that is a
little bigger process. Therefore, this is the process to see if they can even subdivide the lots, and if they
can, they will certainly work hard with the Watershed District to see what they can do right and the best
way to offset if needed. He noted one of the things found in looking at records was when a culvert was
put in under County Road 15, it changed the routing of water off of this property – water does not flow
across it, but instead flows through the neighbor’s yard. Regarding the little inlet that goes up and hits the
lagoon right on the property line, he said he’s gone out and stood there and it has been a rainy season and
he has not seen water flowing across it. He said they will address the water flow, the wetlands with the
Watershed. He stated again, they moved forward because they would like to see what the outcome will
be, and this is the far simplest layout they’ve come up with. He stated they and are looking for some
feedback for the owner.
Walsh asked Mr. Gamble what he thinks the Council’s biggest challenge is to make a decision on tonight.
Mr. Gamble answered, to him - and he has been before this Council and many others - it sounds like the
challenge is: is the Council setting some kind of precedent by allowing this or not. He said the idea of
grabbing a chunk of land from across the bay never would have occurred to him and noted he is not
sitting in front of issues like the Council is all the time. He clarified that until after the March meeting
and after talking to the attorneys, did they even find out that it was possible to do use land across the bay,
and for two years in talking to Staff he was told they couldn’t use land North of the lagoon at all. He said
the benefit of this is the City is getting one-acre lots in an area where they will be the only ones. Mr.
Gamble said the fact that there are some funny parcels North, the actual parcels they are creating are
actually very viable, very usable and a benefit to the community, noting it is half-acre zoning up there and
he was a little surprised that they couldn’t just subdivide them off but he has learned a lot. He said he can
understand the challenge for the Council; however, it would be a shame not to figure out how to utilize
these lots because if there isn’t some way of configuring it, then that parcel of land is basically locked up
until something is allowed. He said he hasn’t pursued anything else and thought he’d put it before the
Council last time asking what they would like to see. He noted the owner is trying to come up with
something the City will allow, stand behind and that is of value. Mr. Gamble stated they’ve worked
within the confines to make it as good as they can and the reason they’re still discussing it is because it’s
a sketch plan review and they are still open, but want to move forward with what the Council thinks they
can allow.

Walsh said it’s certainly a unique piece of property and that is part of the challenge they are trying to
grapple with, because even when they divide the land it doesn’t solve all the issues one normally wants to
solve in a subdivision. He said especially with the weird configuration of the land and the width issues,
some of that is going to suffer. Walsh stated it looks like the Applicant has come a long way and he
recognizes what Johnson said regarding whether you can grab land across the water; whether that’s reality
or not, he is not sure.
Mr. Gamble said this is all one lot and he doesn’t know how they look at the land under the lagoon, it’s a
contiguous lot through that lagoon and it isn’t grabbing land from somewhere else to make it work, it is
taking the lot that is actually there.
Walsh said it’s completely separate, and it would be like having a pond and you can’t get to the other
land, noting it’s kind of like Fletcher’s, as they have the little island and you can’t get there unless you get
on a boat and get to the island to get picked up.
Mr. Gamble said he remembered the bridge they put in once and said he thinks they had to take it out as it
blocked the waterway.
Walsh said technically they could almost say the same thing, if it’s one parcel and one PID (Property
Identification Number) and the property owner could say they own everything underneath the water and
it’s connected so it’s a similar thing. He said when it’s completely displaced by water it’s hard to make
that mental connection.
Printup said between Togo Road and Northern Avenue they ran lots going through a wetland, rather than
making the wetland an outlot, so the properties were a little bit smaller. Instead what happened is the
properties went right through. He asked how you would get to the other side, he doesn’t know. However,
the properties sold and he thinks they are being built on to this day, noting it’s a very strange setup down
there.
Walsh said the Applicant is very close to having it all work and then they wouldn’t even need to be here
before the Council. He said he asks himself the question, knowing that this has a couple of things that
don’t quite meet what a subdivision would be without having a variance, what is the reason he would say
OK to this and he wouldn’t say OK to anything else. What is creating that practical difficulty that would
say this is the exception to the rule because it’s so unique, for example to say the Applicant has gotten
95% done but just can’t get the last 5%. Walsh said he doesn’t know if he has that answer yet as this is so
unique.
Crosby stated he thinks the land on the other side of the water is something he could not get past. He
thinks of his own lot and he is on a lagoon, but it would be like him trying to own a piece on the other
side, it just doesn’t make sense. There is no land to get there.
Johnson said even if they take the lagoon out and someone comes to the Council and says they have a
non-conforming lot and they’d like to subdivide it, they would say no because they will not allow a
further intensification of something that is already non-conforming. He said this is a terrific piece of real
estate and they have exceptional privilege for hardcover, noting he saw the hardcover calculations for one
but not the other. He said if they run the calculation for just the South part, they are over 25% hardcover
for the amount of area they have there. Johnson stated that it comes down to the fact that it’s non-

conforming and if someone else came with a non-conforming and said they meet everything, but –
Johnson said the “but” is what holds it up.
Walsh said they had some recently were there was a non-conforming line and someone wanted to change
the line to make it an even worse non-conforming and the Council said they do not do that, noting one can
make it better, but not make it worse.
Crosby stated they make it more conforming, not less conforming.
Johnson said that is why it’s a hard thing for him to ever get behind approving something that is already
non-conforming.
Mr. Gamble stated that is exactly right, it is non-conforming the way it sits, and there is nothing that will
make each lot conforming. The subdividing of the property is not worsening it at all that he sees, it’s just
providing another buildable site on a piece of land and gives it some purpose. Otherwise, like they’ve
mentioned, it’s like the island at Fletcher’s. In this case, he said it’s even a separate code and at some
point, the City Council said this is different and at some point, the group looked at zoning and zoned this
separately from the peninsula houses.
Walsh noted that was before their time.
Johnson stated the North side is zoned differently.
Mr. Gamble said it is zoned half-acre, so it’s a different zoning entirely.
Walsh said part of the catch is that they are not trying to create more lots just to create more lots, and
noted the Council has been pretty hard on following the rules and if it’s stuck, it’s stuck. He said they
have tried to solve some problems.
Printup said to Johnson’s point, the Applicant can still use that calculation to benefit the other side of the
lagoon.
Barnhart replied and said, except that there is the 0-75’ zone that will impact what they can do on that
lower portion, so they may allow for more of a calculation of hardcover or they may be constrained by
their proximity to the lake.
Johnson noted the entire property is in variance.
Barnhart said yes, the whole property is in variance.
Printup noted they are used to it.
Walsh said he doesn’t think that is the inhibitor, it’s just that they’re in the starting block that there is a
non-conforming property.
Mr. Gamble said that is not unusual in the sense that the Council has moved property lines and done
things with non-conforming lots to improve both lots, not creating a new one to do that, and this isn’t

creating non-conformity. He said not doing anything isn’t fixing the situation as far as what exists around
the lake.
Walsh said it sounds like there are two non-conformities.
Barnhart said he’s hearing some discomfort from the Council in terms of creating a lot that will be non-
conforming from a width standpoint. He said there is also some discomfort on having some buildable
portion north of the lagoon. He said that takes care of it from a guidance standpoint for this tract. On the
next page of the packet (Lot 1), Barnhart said it obviously conforms from an area and width standpoint,
but Lot 2, if they read the Code very strictly, frontage on the lake needs to be 100 feet or 140 feet
depending on where that line falls, noting this line would not fall. He said if the Council is not
comfortable with the layout that shows this type of “finger,” he would like to hear that and then he can
advise the Applicant.
Seals asked to go to the Hennepin County Property Map hybrid model and pull up the address to see the
visual.
Walsh said typically they tell people to come back with a subject that meets everything and they’re ready
to roll, but he doesn’t think this can do that.
Mr. Gamble said that is part of the question he had in March, where do they go from here and that is why
they got the legal advice and found they could use land North of the lagoon to qualify to get the lot to
one-acre, which is unique, noting that the majority on Lake Minnetonka are not an acre. He said they did
meet that and the second lot meets the 140-foot width on the front and he believes the zoning on the back
only has to be a 100-foot width.
Walsh stated he doesn’t mind having any hoops an Applicant has to jump through to get it to conformity,
but it’s still not conforming.
Barnhart said it would be the width on existing Tract B and potentially the width on the new Lot 1 on the
other side. He noted there is a boundary between LR1C1 and the other zone.
Crosby asked if the Northern lot has buildable size.
Seals asked if you combined those two as one does it make it conforming.
Barnhart stated the two Northern lots are both conforming now, he noted where they’re rubbing up
against an immovable object is the two lots to the South of the lagoon and trying to make them
conforming. Short of acquiring land property from the West, which is not under the control of the
Applicant, they cannot make those conforming. However, it’s not uncommon where a property owner
doesn’t have quite enough and may need to negotiate with a neighboring property to acquire additional
land.
Crosby asked if the same owner owns the lot to the North.
Barnhart answered no.

Page 8 of 13
Printup clarified there are two different people altogether and the only one the Council is looking at is on
the right of the map on screen and above it.
Barnhart stated the problem is the lower lots.
Crosby said they need those portions to be somewhat conforming even though they’re non-conforming,
and asked if that is correct.
Walsh noted they are currently conforming, but they want to subdivide.
Barnhart clarified that one is non-conforming right now, noting the one on the left of the map on screen is
non-conforming because of width.
Walsh said once they start subdividing, they are at 50% of the four lots being non-conforming.
Mr. Gamble noted the one on the right onscreen has the acreage requirement and the new lot is 100 feet
wide and meets the zoning requirement.
Barnhart said he thinks what Walsh is referring to is the “finger” that goes North of the lagoon as it is 25
feet wide and the requirement, even if it’s a favorable zoning location, would be 100 feet.
Mr. Gamble said that is part of the South lot, rather than the North lot.
Barnhart agreed that it is, but it’s also lake-frontage and that’s where the minimum width would come in.
He said this lot has four frontages, which they do not see a lot of.
Crosby asked to clarify that Lot 2474 is non-conforming and Lot 2480 is conforming.
Barnhart answered yes.
Johnson noted to make the split it becomes non-conforming because the “finger” goes up the side and
does not meet the lake width.
Crosby asked if the Council has ever done this in the past, noting that right now for conformity, they are
calculating the land North of the lagoon.
Barnhart answered yes, they are including some of the land North of the lagoon for both lots.
Crosby asked if it’s a possibility to combine them into one lot, although that obviously wouldn’t be a
lakeshore lot.
Walsh stated you just can’t get four lots out of it.
Crosby agreed.
Barnhart said he thinks the challenge with this parcel is where the boundary line is for Lot 2474 south of
the lagoon. He noted they are limited by that amount of land and they cannot create or add more land to

Page 9 of 13
make it wide enough and that is ultimately the issue. He said if they had another 20 feet perhaps, there
would be space for four lots.
Seals noted she thinks the Council is in agreement that they do not see four lots, but are trying to help the
Applicant find three lots.
Crosby noted on the map if they drew a line across the top lots, could the top half possibly be a lot off of
shoreline, it would not be a lakeshore lot, if it’s big enough to be conforming. Then they would be talking
about a total of three lots rather than four.
Walsh said they’re trying to give guidance but the Council doesn’t need to design it.
Crosby said he understands that and he’s asking if that is a possibility to basically put the two half lots
together to make one lot off of shoreline.
Barnhart said that is similar to what was proposed in March and the issue is not the area North of the
lagoon, the issue is that the amount of land on the peninsula and the amount of land where the boundary
line is constrains the subdivision of this lot because there is not enough buildable acreage South of the
lagoon with the required width. Earlier, Staff had identified a potential of combining both of those lots to
create one conforming lot, and then they’d have two lots on the North for a total of three. He said that’s
the best way they can do it, but looking at it, there are two separate property owners and they’d have to
work together on getting to that point, or acquire additional land from the private residence to the West to
get the area and width. Short of those things happening, Barnhart doesn’t see a subdivision happening
here.
Walsh said Barnhart hit it right on the mark: they just don’t have enough land to the South to make it
work. He stated if the owners can figure it out and combine to get three lots that may be the best option.
Mr. Gamble asked if they look at 2480, and move the boundary up so there is not 125-foot width, then
there would be a buildable lot to the North off Shoreline Drive, if they meet all the width and square
footage requirements.
Walsh said if they meet all the requirements, they don’t need the Council.
Barnhart stated if Lot 1 was North of the Lagoon and was not a lake lot, he believes it would meet the
requirements.
Mr. Gamble said he likes hearing the Councilmembers speak among themselves and it furthers the depth
for the Applicant.
Walsh noted it is a unique situation and if they can get something worked out, the Council is all for it, but
it has to fit in the box correctly.
Printup asked to see the map onscreen and located a wetland, noting there are lots that go straight through
the wetland.
Johnson noted that is a wetland, not a lake.
Printup answered that trying to make it fit in the box, sometimes doesn’t work.

Walsh noted that lot actually had wetlands that one could get through, but just couldn’t build on. He said

MAYOR/COUNCIL REPORT
Crosby congratulated his daughter and Johnson’s daughter on purchasing their first homes, noting their
kids are growing up.
Printup said good luck to the former police Officer Timothy Datwyler, who is leaving the department and
thanked him for his service. He also noted hiring a new police officer will be exciting and a good
addition. He noted he had a great trip in South Dakota.
Seals thanked the Fire Department for putting out a blazing boat fire on Lake Minnetonka.
Crosby said the boat fire made “Boneheaded Boaters of the Week” (nationwide clip). He encouraged all
of the boaters to run their blowers, it’s very important. He said the Fire Department did a great job and
were able to save all the boats nearby.
Seals noted she is still getting emails regarding the water bill and said the City hasn’t communicated it
well. She read an email she received which read: “We’ve been blindsided and burned by water so hard
and in fact, impossible to budget when your quarterly bill was $15,000, that was a 100% increase over
last year [Seals noted the July bill used to be $4,500). We have been told two reasons; one is that the City
did not get enough money that they usually do in their water budget. [Seals noted that is not the case.]
We were told it went into roads and bridges [Seals noted they love their roads but that is not where the
money went.] Second was that Orono charged the multi-dwelling buildings to a higher bill, possibly to
keep at bay more of those types of dwellings.” Seals said communication between the City about utilities
and the impact on residents is lacking and Seals said this is something they own and it’s not good, noting
there are future increases coming and they need to really debate.
Walsh said the future increases are really small, except for the Met Council.
Seals noted there is one more big increase.
Rief stated this year is was 20%.
Walsh stated the Met Council was 30%.
Johnson noted the “blindsided” comment is the part that is tough.
Seals noted the amount is the amount, but then there is the fact that the City isn’t communicating very
well.
Seals also noted another issue is Mediacom, noting they are not a good vendor to Orono in so many ways.
She stated she’s heard the complaints year after year and she thought, how bad can it be…until it
happened to her when she was presenting to the President of her company and it all died. She said she
gets it, it happens. However, what is more painstaking, and she cannot imagine what their residents are
thinking, is when the company says “No ma’am, we’ll come out in a month to look at it.” She said the
funny thing is it turns back on at 10:00 p.m. at night and is active all night long and then around 9:30 a.m.

it shuts off again. She said the point is, this is unacceptable, especially in the environment they live in
today to tell residents they will come out in a month to see if they can fix it, noting that doesn’t
necessarily mean it will be fixed. She said she doesn’t know if the Council needs direction or to look at
other options, but many residents are working from home, she can’t be the only one. Seals noted she sees
people ranting and raving.
Crosby stated he’s had friends and residents tell him they need other people in there. He knows it’s a
difficult task and they’ve gotten a lot done in the first terms, but this has got to be something the Council
gets accomplished in this term. It’s not that they won’t get it done, they will get it done. He said they
need to help get someone else in the City, Comcast or anybody, noting when they’re making Comcast
look good, they’ve got problems.
Seals noted she had Comcast when she was in St. Paul and she thought it couldn’t get any worse, noting
she was wrong.
Crosby said he gets it, they are a rural area, but they need to get competition out in Orono and that needs
to be one of the major things they work on.
Rief said he’s been in contact with a couple of residents on different sides of the City and one emailed
Rief a summary of his communications with Mediacom and he needs to chat with Attorney Mattick on
whether there’s violation within the franchise agreement.
Seals noted she understands that service goes out from time-to-time, but she doesn’t get how the company
can say it will be a month before they can come out.
Rief stated if the Council gets complaints, please forward them to him as he can get directly to the Senior
Vice President and try to address it there.
Crosby stated capitalism and competition makes people better.
Rief has heard across the board from everyone as far as customer service, Mediacom will come back and
do what they need to do within the bounds of the agreement, but he does not think the satisfaction of their
service is there. He said he received a voicemail from someone from another company interested in
providing internet services so he will set up a time to chat with him and discuss it.
Walsh said the Council will see if they call back, noting they’ve had meetings with one of the big ones,
and out in Fox Hill around 40 residents paid around $2,000 each to install fiber. Walsh said he met with
the company and said Orono could perhaps budget $100,000 a year and do a neighborhood one at a time
and start knocking them out and the company was going to call the City back and never did. Walsh stated
the company was so excited and then they saw the density and wouldn’t return calls or emails.
Printup said it’s worth another shot.
Walsh agreed and said it’s frustrating.
Crosby said it’s not like the houses in Fox Hill are butting up right next to each other, if the company can
get that area done.

Walsh noted regarding Mediacom, two weeks ago his internet was out for a week, and said while
Mediacom was fixing someone else down the road, they came and cut his cables. He called the company
and they said no, they wouldn’t do something like that. A week later someone came out to his home
because it’s attached to his fire system and the guy said “it looks like we cut your wires.”
Seals said speaking of fire, she didn’t know if the Councilmembers saw Saturday’s edition that Long
Lake got a massive award of $152,000 to replace their breathing apparatus.
Walsh noted Orono has gotten a number of grants over time.
Seals said this is a big grant and she knows they need their equipment replaced and asked how the City of
Long Lake is helping Long Lake Fire to make these things happen.
Crosby noted they have to ask and request the grant.
Walsh noted the question is if anybody is paying attention.
Seals said she looks at Bederwood and their grants and Big Island and noted the money is out there, and it
seems silly to leave it on the table, but they should at least ask.
Rief stated he thinks they did apply for that same grant with the SCBA (self-contained breathing
apparatus) and he said the only difference in the detail that he noticed, and he hasn’t talked to Greg
Peterson, but Long Lake’s SCBA gear was 17 years old and Orono’s is 15 years old. He said everything
expires at 15 years so Long Lake’s would have been expired and therefore a higher priority, noting
perhaps that is why they received the grant versus Orono. He said he has not received an official
notification that Orono did not get the grant, but he will check this week.
Johnson asked if the City made progress on the land they were looking at.
Rief said he has been in communication with one of the Attorneys from Soren Mattick’s firm, he is
working through that process and should have some information soon.
Johnson said Taylor just passed her real estate license down in Florida if anyone is looking to buy a place
down there. Drew has moved from Washington to the free state of Texas.
Walsh noted he mentioned the many birthdays in his house at the last meeting and said the girls don’t just
get one birthday so it’s like four birthday parties rather than two. He said he had family over on the
weekend and spent a lot of time on the water. He noted they have a three week break between this
meeting and the September 14, 2020 meeting and told everyone to enjoy the weather and get out on the
water and use the blower on their boats.
CITY ADMINISTRATOR REPORT
Rief noted that Togo Road has been under construction and they’ve made progress on East Long Lake
Trail to get the pilings in. Their assumption was around 20-some feet but instead it was 48 feet to get
stable ground for the pilings. He just received a draft from Attorney Mattick of what he has labeled as
“Orono Cares For Schools Grant,” on how they would help distribute the CARES money and how they
can divide the money out to the two largest school districts to help them with some of their expenses. He

said across the road they will receive $98,000 of CARES money and he knows West Tonka got a bit more
money but they worked it out equally, whatever they determine that amount is. He noted it’s just the draft
form today and he will talk to Attorney Mattick to see if there is anything additional to add before sending
it over to the school. He proposed more of a reimbursement type allocation, and noted essentially all of
the money must be spent in the CARES Act by November 15, 2020, so the November 9, 2020 meeting
will be the last approval of those expenditures.
Walsh said they should be spending it before that time as school starts in a week or so.
CITY ATTORNEY REPORT
Attorney Shana Conklin thanked the Council for letting her join them this evening, and stated she has
been with Campbell Knutson for the last 7 years and she works in the background on Orono projects but
has not been able to come to a Council meeting in person and said it’s nice to be here. She noted she is
originally from South Dakota and is familiar with the area as she drives past Orono on her way to
Aberdeen.

1. Purpose. The purpose of this action item is to gain approval to accept a donations for Big Island Park
from Randy & Marcia Litfin and Bryce & Paula Johnson.
2. Background. The Big Island Legacy (BIL), a 501C3, has initiated a funding drive to provide
amenities to the ongoing Big Island Project. The group is soliciting for donation for picnic tables and
sitting stones with the intent of using remaining grant moneys to match. Donation drive summary from
BIL:
To all of our Big Island Park supporters,
The new park on Big Island is well underway. By next spring, we will have an extensive and fully
accessible trail system, a toilet, interpretative signage and barriers to motorized vehicles, valued
at over $400,000! As a result of the fundraising and project pricing to date, we have
approximately $28,000 of unused “match” from our State of MN DNR grant. We are soliciting
donations to be able to add some picnic tables and sitting stones to the park (see the drawings
and photographs below). The cost of each, based on our unit bid prices in the contract are:
Sitting stones $1325 each and Picnic tables $5000 each, including procurement and
installation. That means with the match, they would be $652.50 and $2500 respectively. The
picnic tables would be located up on the hill at the end of the new trail where the shelter had been
proposed (and we hope will be eventually). The sitting stones can be located in multiple
locations including a couple of overlooks, including three stones already donated and designated
for the Wayzata overlook near the north east corner of the park.
3. Donations Received.
a. Randy and Marcia (Johnson) Litfin donated $825 for a Sitting Stone
b. Bryce and Paula Johnson donated $825 for a Sitting Stone
4. Staff Recommendation. I recommend acceptance of the donations.

1. Purpose. The purpose of this council action is to inform the council of a new tree inventory grant
form Hennepin County and to accept a quote for the same.
2. Background. Hennepin County Forestry division initiated a new grant last year under their healthy
tree canopy program. In 2019 Orono applied for and received a grant for $5000 which was used to
complete and inventory of trees with it in the City’s active parks. In 2020 Orono City staff submitted an
application for funds to assist in a tree inventory of City Right of Way (ROW). Another $5000 grant was
awarded. An inventory of city trees is a prerequisite in planning for and making sound management
decisions with respect to tree disease and pest mitigation.
3. Project Scope. Inventory trees city owned ROW.
4. Cost. The City Solicited quotes for the inventory of trees in 2019. The low quote was from PlanIT
Geo for $4/ tree or 1500 trees for $6000. PlanIT Geo has agreed to provide the same service at the same
price in 2020 and can complete the inventory in October.
5. Funding. Funding for the project comes from a Hennepin County Grant in the amount of $5000 and
a match from the city. The city portion of the project will come from the Streets Operating Budgets with
$1000 for inventory and $4000 as in-kind staff time and software licensing.
6. Staff Recommendation. I recommending accepting the quote from PlanIT Geo.
COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED
Motion to accept the quote from PlanIT Geo for the execution of a tree inventory in city ROW.

1. Purpose. This application is regarding variances in order to redevelop the property with a new
residence. Variances for lot area, lot width, hardcover, and setback are requested. The structural
coverage variance initially requested has been removed.
2. MN§15.99 Application Deadline. The application was received on July 22nd and considered to
be complete on August 7, 2020. Therefore the 60-Day review period expires on October 6th.
3. Background/ Summary. On behalf of the new property owners, the applicant is requesting
variances in order to construct a new home on the property which is substandard in area and
width. The applicant’s initial application involved variances for structural coverage, setback, and
hardcover variance to permit 46.3% hardcover where 25% is permitted and a 2,396 square foot
footprint where 2,000 square feet is permitted.
After receiving feedback from the Planning Commission, the applicant revised the plans and has
provided a revised plan eliminating the structural coverage variance and reducing the hardcover
variance requested. The proposed home footprint is now 1,999 square feet and complies with the
2,000 square foot limitation for structure. The proposed hardcover has been reduced from 46.3%
to 42.4%; a 331 square foot hardcover reduction.
4. Planning Commission Vote and Comment. On August 17th, the Planning Commission held a
public hearing. Following the public hearing the Planning Commission voted 7-0 on a motion to
deny the variance based on the structural coverage level proposed. The Commission concurred
with the staff recommendation which supported variances for lot area, lot width, setbacks, and
hardcover once the structural coverage level was brought to the conforming level.
5. Public Comment. The adjoining neighbors have signed the adjacent property owner
acknowledgment form. To date, no public comments have been received.
6. Staff Recommendation. The applicant has addressed the primary concern of both Staff and the
Planning Commission in proposing a footprint which complies with the structural coverage
limitation. No structural coverage variance is requested.
Planning staff finds there are practical difficulties supporting the requested variances; staff
recommends approval of the revised plan. A draft approval resolution has been provided.
COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED
Council should consider a motion to adopt or amend the attached resolution approving lot width, lot area,
hardcover, front setback and driveway setback variances according the revised plan.

A RESOLUTION
APPROVING VARIANCES FROM
MUNICIPAL ZONING CODE
SECTIONS 78-350; 78-1405; 78-1700
FILE NO. LA20 -000049
WHEREAS, on July 22, 2020, Kevin Finnegan & Jessica Finnegan (hereinafter the
“Applicants”), applied for variances from the City Code for the property addressed 3435 Crystal Bay
Road and legally described as:
That part of Lot 3, Block 1, “Wiley’s Park” Lake Minnetonka Hennepin County,
Minnesota lying south of Crystal Bay Road and northerly of a line running from a point on the
westerly line of said Lot 3 a distance of 73 feet northerly of Southwest corner of said Lot 3 to
a point on the easterly line thereof a distance of 35 feet northerly of southeast corner thereof
(hereinafter the “Property”);
WHEREAS, the Applicants have made application to the City of Orono for
variances to Orono Municipal Zoning Code Section 78-350 to allow redevelopment of a lot with
substandard area and width, and variances from the front setback; Section 78-1403 for increased
structural coverage for 2,396 square feet; Section 78-1405 for driveway setback; and Section 78-
1700 from hardcover regulations allowing 46.3%; and
WHEREAS, on August 17, 2020, after published and mailed notice in accordance
with Minnesota Statutes and the City Code, the Planning Commission held a public hearing, at
which time all persons desiring to be heard concerning this application were given the opportunity
to speak thereon; and
WHEREAS, on August 17, 2020, the Planning Commission advised the Applicants
to reduce the proposed home footprint to a conforming level and recommended denial of the
variances; and
WHEREAS, following the direction of the Planning Commission, on September 1,
2020, the Applicants submitted a revised plan reflecting 1,999 square feet of structural coverage;
and 42.4% hardcover for consideration by the City Council. The revised request includes the
following:
a) a variance to Orono Municipal Zoning Code Section 78-350 to allow a front setback
of 27 feet where a 30 foot setback is required;
CITY OF ORONO
RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL

b) a variance to Orono Municipal Zoning Code Section 78-1405 to allow a driveway
1.5 feet from the property line where a 5 foot setback is required;
c) a variance to Orono Municipal Zoning Code Section 78-1700 to allow 3,515 square
feet or 42.4% hardcover where 25% is permitted; and
WHEREAS, on September 14, 2020, the City Council reviewed the revised
application and the recommendations of the Planning Commission and City staff; and
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of Orono, Minnesota
hereby approves the requested variances as revised and described above based on one or more
of the following findings of fact concerning the Property:
FINDINGS OF FACT:
1. This application was reviewed as Zoning File #LA20-000049. The analysis contained
within staff memos and the exhibits attached to the aforesaid memos, all minutes from the
above mentioned meetings, and any and all other materials distributed at these meetings
are hereby incorporated by reference.
2. The Property is located in the LR-1C Zoning District.
3. The Property contains 0.19 acres in area and has a defined lot width of 50.7 feet.
4. The Property is within Tier 1 and hardcover is limited to 25% according to the Stormwater
Quality Overlay District.
5. In considering this application for variance, the Council has considered the advice and
recommendation of the Planning Commission and the effect of the proposed variance
upon the health, safety and welfare of the community, existing and anticipated traffic
conditions, light and air, danger of fire, risk to the public safety, and the effect on values
of property in the surrounding area.
ANALYSIS:
1. “Variances shall only be permitted when they are in harmony with the general purposes
and intent of the ordinance . . . .” The proposed variances are in harmony with the
purpose of the Ordinance. The substandard lot has difficulties in its small size and depth,
and relationship with the surrounding properties. The right-of-way for Crystal Bay Road
in this location is 66 feet wide, as the road travels west the right-of-way is not present
which makes this property and the two neighbors unique. The house setback on the lake
CITY OF ORONO
RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL

3
side is shown to be consistent with the neighborhood. Although not a lakeshore lot, the
majority of the properties along Crystal Bay Road are lakeshore, and subject to the
average lakeshore setback protecting views of the lake. The home meets side and rear
setbacks which helps to provide the necessary open space. The hardcover level
proposed is an improvement from the existing condition and is supported by the small lot
challenges.
2. “Variances shall only be permitted . . . when the variances are consistent with the
comprehensive plan.” The number and type of variances proposed to develop a
nonconforming lot of record are consistent with the comprehensive plan, such as lot
area, rear setback, lake setback, and hardcover variance.
3. “Variances may be granted when the applicant for the variance establishes that there are
practical difficulties in complying with the zoning ordinance. ‘Practical difficulties,’ as used in
connection with the granting of a variance, means that:
a. The property owner in question proposes to use the property in a reasonable manner,
however, the proposed use is not permitted by the official controls.
The request to permit construction of the home on the substandard lot, within the
required front setback appears to be reasonable as the property’s reduced size
and orientation with respect to the Crystal Bay Road right-of-way, and adjacent
properties creates difficulties. The requested hardcover levels are also
reasonable.
b. The plight of the landowner is due to circumstances unique to his property not created
by the landowner.
The uniquely small size, location with respect to the right-of-way, and required
setbacks prevent a residential footprint consistent with the neighborhood. There
should be consideration for variance approvals from the hardcover limitation, the
front setback, the side setback for the driveway and the lot area requirements.
c. The variance, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the locality.”
The lot area and width variances are requested in order to permit construction of
a home, which are reasonable. The setbacks and hardcover level are consistent
with the neighborhood.
4. “Economic considerations alone do not constitute practical difficulties.” Economic
considerations have not been a factor in the variance approval determination.
CITY OF ORONO
RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL
NO. ________________________
4
5. “Practical difficulties also include but are not limited to inadequate access to direct sunlight
for solar energy systems. Variances shall be granted for earth-sheltered construction as
defined in Minn. Stat. § 216C.06, subd. 2, when in harmony with Orono City Code Chapter
78.” This condition is not applicable.
6. “The board or the council may not permit as a variance any use that is not permitted under
Orono City Code Chapter 78 for property in the zone where the affected person's land is
located.” This condition is not applicable, as a residential home is an allowed use in the LR-
1C District.
7. “The board or council may permit as a variance the temporary use of a one-family dwelling
as a two-family dwelling.” This condition is not applicable.
8. “The special conditions applying to the structure or land in question are peculiar to such
property or immediately adjoining property.” The Property’s substandard size, width, depth,
and unique configuration creates difficulties which also apply to many of the properties in
the same neighborhood. The setbacks are not out of character. The proposed hardcover
level is consistent with the immediate neighborhood.
9. “The conditions do not apply generally to other land or structures in the district in which the
land is located.” The Property’s substandard size and width, including the unique non-
lakeshore status on this roadway creates difficulties which apply to very few properties
along Crystal Bay Road.
10. “The granting of the application is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a
substantial property right of the applicant.” Granting lot area, lot width, hardcover, front and
driveway setback variances are necessary for the preservation of the property right of the
owners.
11. “The granting of the proposed variance will not in any way impair health, safety, comfort or
morals, or in any other respect be contrary to the intent of this chapter.” Granting the
hardcover variance, the driveway setback, lot width and area, and front setback variances
in this unique situation are not contrary to the intent of the zoning chapter.
12. “The granting of such variance will not merely serve as a convenience to the applicant, but
is necessary to alleviate demonstrable difficulty.” The variances for lot area, lot width,
driveway and front setback including hardcover variances are necessary, and do not
merely serve as a convenience to the Applicants.

grants the following variances in order to allow redevelopment of the Property:

staff, attached to this Resolution as Exhibits A & B.
3. Any amendments to the plans which are not in conformity with City codes may require
further Planning Commission and City Council review.
4. Authorities granted by this resolution run with the Property not with the Applicants, but are
permissive only and must be exercised by obtaining a building permit for the new
construction and commencing construction of said project. A framing inspection must be
completed within one year of the date of Council approval, or the variance will expire on
that date (September 14, 2021).
5. Violation of or non-compliance with any of the terms and conditions of this resolution may
result in the termination of any authority granted herein.
ADOPTED by the Orono City Council on this 14th day of September, 2020.

Variance Request Narrative: Kevin (KC) and Jessica Finnegan
Property Location: 3435 Crystal Bay Road, Wayzata, MN 55391
BACKGROUND:
The Finnegan Family moved back to Minnesota after spending 10 years overseas in the United
Arab Emirates (UAE). Both KC and Jessica are West Point graduates and veterans who served
for many years in the United States Army. They have three school-aged children, Brody (14
years old), Bella (13 years old), and Jack (12 years old). KC grew up in the Twin Cities and
always wanted to return to MN after leaving the Army. After spending their first year back in
the Navarre neighborhood, their family dream of living on the lake came true when they
purchased the property at 3435 Crystal Bay Road.
GENERAL CONTEXT:
Given the many unique lots on Crystal Bay Road that do not meet the minimum lot area or
minimum lot width requirements and the considerable practical difficulties, the property proposal
conforms to the general characteristics of other residences in terms of size, setbacks, and
hardcover, while maintaining livability by focusing on conformance with characteristics of the
neighborhood. The variances are requested in order to permit construction of a modestly sized
home, which is considered reasonable on Crystal Bay Road. Other homes in the immediate
neighborhood have been granted similar levels of variances for redevelopment due to many
similar site-related practical difficulties.
Finnegan Page 2 of 3
EXISTING CONDITIONS
1. 3,865 S.F. of hardcover (46.61%).
2. Lot is 38% of the required lot size and at a non-conforming width.
3. Driveway is less than 5’-0” from property line and covers 1,578 S.F.
VARIANCES REQUESTED @ PLANNING COMMISION MEETING – 8/17/20:
1. Hardcover variance – reduced from 46.61% to 46.38%
2. Lot width and lot area variance – lot is 38% of the required lot size and at a non-
conforming width.
3. Driveway setback variance – essentially leave driveway in its current location relative to
the westerly property line, but reduced in size from 1,578 S.F. to 1,450 S.F.
4. Structural coverage variance – proposed is similar in scope to that of the current existing
structure at 2,396 S.F.
VARIANCES REQUESTED @ CITY COUNCIL MEETING – 9/14/20:
1. Hardcover variance – reduced from 46.61% to 42.39%
2. Lot width and lot area variance – lot is 38% of the required lot size and at a non-
conforming width.
3. Driveway setback variance – essentially leave driveway in its current location relative to
the westerly property line, but reduced in size from 1,578 S.F. to 1,280 S.F.
4. Structural coverage variance – proposed is 1,999 S.F., which is below the requirement of
up to 2,000 S.F. for lots less than 10,000 S.F. in size.
FACTS:
1. The proximity of this lot to the lake level 100-year floodplain elevation also brings to
light another very significant practical difficulty resulting in not being able to have a
basement or even a crawlspace. A home built for a growing family of five without a
basement for a mechanical room, storage, and recreation, which are typical uses in
basements, creates a practical difficulty in which ALL space and volume for these
requirements must be entirely above ground level.
2. With the same zoning controls applied to a lot of record that is only 38% the size of a
conforming lot in this district, creates significant practical difficulties to meet all
conforming requirements.
Finnegan Page 3 of 3
CONCLUSION:
The establishment of the current regulations and variance restrictions were based on the
approved minimum lot size standard (1/2 acre = 21,780 square feet) in the City of Orono. This
required minimum lot size is 2.58 times larger than 3435 Crystal Bay Road. Given this standard,
the property at 3435 Crystal Bay Road is at an extreme disadvantage (at approximately 8,425
total square footage) and suffers from various and significant practical difficulties surrounding
the structural and hard cover requirements. Granting these variances is necessary for the
reasonable preservation and enjoyment of a substantial property right to the Finnegans, and the
relatively small home proposed for a family of five plus frequent guests. These variances will
not merely serve as a convenience to the family but are also necessary to alleviate demonstrable
difficulties in meeting requirements written for much larger parcels.

PUBLIC HEARINGS
1. LA20-000049 SHARRATT DESIGN, 3435 CRYSTAL BAY ROAD, VARIANCES,
6:01 P.M. – 6:33 P.M.
Jessica and Kevin aka “KC” Finnegan, Applicants, were present.
Staff presented a summary of packet information. Curtis ended the presentation noting as currently
proposed planning staff recommends denial of the plan. Should the Applicant make revisions and provide
a plan consistent with the allowed 2,000 square foot building footprint, and in turn a reduced hardcover
level, staff finds practical difficulties supporting the remaining variances.
Ressler invited the Applicant to the podium.
Ms. Jessica Finnegan, 3435 Crystal Bay Road, thanked the Planning Commission and noted the architect
and builder are also at the meeting. She gave some background on their family, stating she and her
husband are relatively new to Minnesota and although her husband is initially from the State, they spent
the last 10 years overseas. They are both Army Veterans and want to move back to the United States with
their three children, all soon to be teenagers, new drivers and will be attending Orono schools. Ms.
Finnegan said they are very excited to be living in the Navarre neighborhood, about a block or two away
from Crystal Bay Road and they are very happy with the property and location. She thanked the
Commissioners and said she’d leave any questions to the architect.
Mr. Mike Sharratt, 464 2nd St, Excelsior, is the architect on the project and said Curtis summed everything
up very well. He said the hardest situation to deal with, especially with a family of five, is that there isn’t
an ability to put mechanical and storage space in an unseen place, as it becomes building mass whether
it’s on the first floor or second floor. He said in the design of the building, they looked at many different
ideas including garages to the front, which would reduce the amount of hardcover due to driveway
surface. The existing home on the site right now has a driveway alongside and they are putting the
MINUTES OF THE

driveway in the same place. He said the reason they conferred to that configuration is because it is
currently that way and the family wants to have access to grade from the living space rather than be up a
full story above. Many of the homes on Crystal Bay Road, where the grade starts to rise towards the East,
have tuck-under garages because of that situation. Mr. Sharratt noted the other thing they could have
done is added a third story to the home, but that comes with economic penalties and isn’t necessarily a
kind outlook on what building mass does, noting height almost more than anything else creates the
appearance of building mass. He said this is a small lot and has the good fortune of having about 50 feet
in front of the house to the pavement, whereas many of the homes to the East, as the road diagonals
across, become shorter and shorter to the point where there is almost nothing in front, perhaps 15 or 20
feet. Mr. Sharratt said the home will have the appearance of more land because of this and noted they
wanted to see if there was a reason it would be logical to say that this is not the land or lot they’re talking
about, but it’s the appearance that the land is in the right-of-way. He stated they have designed a very
responsible house, the main level is a small three-car garage and living space, which is only dining,
kitchen, living room, powder room and mudroom, noting it’s only about 1,100 square feet. The upper
level will be larger and it goes out over the garage and they need the space to have three bedrooms for the
kids and a master suite facing North along with a bit of space that can be a kid space or rec room, as if
they would have had a basement. Mr. Sharratt said they’ve tried to minimize the mass as much as
possible and make it more of a story-and-a-half appearance than a full two-story or even a three-story. He
welcomed feedback and questions from the Commission.
Libby thanked the Applicants for their service and career in the military noting they are very highly
valued. He asked Mr. Sharratt to clarify if the proximity of the lot to the lake level is the reason for the
significant practical difficulty resulting in lack of a basement and asked if it was because of the water
table or because of the mass and trying to avoid having a foundation underneath.
Mr. Sharratt answered they are required not to build any floor level, whether a basement or crawl space,
below 2 feet above the Hundred Year Flood Plain and that is 933 feet. He said this lot is very flat and has
almost no drainage, noting when it rains heavily water sits there, and they cannot build a floor level
below, noting the first floor level is only about a foot-and-a-half above that lowest possible level. He said
by Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) standards it is impossible and they are not allowed
to do it.
Libby said he lives in a California Ranch-style single level with no basement, and as the home is within a
distance from the lake and the water table is too high it would precipitate all sorts of problems. He stated
he has a transite heating system.
Mr. Sharratt asked if the transite system works and doesn’t become a drain tile.
Libby answered that $60,000 worth of landscaping are the preventative measures for that. He said he
wondered why they couldn’t gain some of family’s needed space by putting a lower level in and thanked
Mr. Sharratt as he appreciates the clarification.
Mr. Sharratt said the only way to do it is to lift the entire home up a full story.
Chair Ressler opened the public hearing at 6:13 p.m.
There were no public comments regarding this application.

Chair Ressler closed the public hearing at 6:13 p.m.
Chair Ressler started the discussion with the observation that there has been quite a bit of building done
on Crystal Bay Road in the past couple of years and none of them have been easy applications. He thinks
the difficulties that the Applicant is facing are very similar to the difficulties of the previous applications
that the Planning Commission has addressed in that neighborhood. The struggle is they are limited to
what is there as it’s much easier to pass rebuilding-in-kind to existing structure. The other difficulty that
they often have in Orono is average lake yard setbacks, so even though they have more breathing room
before the road, the neighbor’s viewpoints need to be protected, which makes it difficult to encroach
further toward the lake. Ressler said it is certainly not an easy envelope to build on but is a desirable
place to live and the difficulty is that approving additional hardcover in a small space takes a lot of
practical difficulty and that is what the Commission needs to deliberate on for this application.
McCutcheon said Crystal Bay Road is like a broken record every time and his heart goes out to people.
He said at the same time, these lots were meant as original cabin lots and although this floor plan is
modest and not egregious regarding home designs today, it is what it is, they recently bought it and the
hardcover is kind of the dealbreaker for the application. He again noted his heart goes out to the
applicants. He said he would be inclined to go with Staff’s recommendation and deny the application.
Gettman said he is looking at the neighbors lots and trying to compare, as one of the considerations is
how does the house fit in with the neighborhood. As you look at some of those lots, the proposal before
the Commission is going to be on the larger side of what some of the other folks have, yet at the same
time it sounds like the Applicant is working with Staff to figure out how to get it as close as possible. He
noted the heartache that McCutcheon felt and said the struggle is weighing how this impacts the other
neighbors and what other exceptions are they going to have to allow for all of them as well, as the houses
turn over and they want to do expansions. He said what the Applicant is trying to do is very
conscientious in the way they are working with the architect and design and he appreciates that but that is
where the Commission is stuck.
Bollis had nothing additional to add and said he agrees with Staff on this application.
Kirchner agreed with Staff on this application, noting while it is a very modest floor plan and house, he
thinks it is too much of an ask for the size of the variances and the percentages and square footage that
were over. One thing he should have asked of the architect and maybe something to clarify going
forward, he sees on the plan a three or four car garage and he asked if the Commission is being asked to
evaluate the space on three or four cars and does that changes the square footage proposal.
Curtis noted they are asking for a three-car garage, and the elevation view of the home as well as the
measurement of the garage at 30 feet indicates that it would be a small three-car garage.
Mr. Sharratt said a four-car garage was a dream and was a holdover from the preliminary plan, but
clarified it would be a three-car garage.
Erickson said the Staff has done a wonderful job of sorting out the complexity of the various variances
required and he is supportive of their conclusion that variances are justified for most of the proposal.
However, he agrees that this goes to the intent of the ordinance and in this case it appears that the intent is
very clear that with the smaller size of the lot in this zoning category a special effort was made by the
drafters of the ordinance that there would be a cap of 2,000 feet. That level of specificity is not present in

other ordinances and other situations, so he can very clearly tell that Staff has made the right
recommendation in requesting a redesign for a footprint of 2,000 feet or less.
Libby agrees with Staff on this for the same reasons as Erickson.
Gettman asked to clarify if the current square footage of the structures that are there are actually larger
than what they are proposing.
Curtis answered no, she doesn’t believe so.
Gettman said maybe he is misunderstanding and thought the existing hardcover is 3,865.
Curtis said the 3,865 is not the structure. The existing structure is 1,698, although the hardcover is larger
by about 20 square feet. She said the configuration with the garage, noting the dark areas they are looking
at on the page are the bituminous, so it is further back than the proposed plan, it pulls the garage back,
noting a detached area and parking area on the page, and said now what is proposed is a house filling that
area.
Gettman asked to see the aerial view of the neighborhood and asked if they would be consolidating the
two separate structures on the existing lot.
Curtis answered yes and it would be slightly larger.
Gettman asked if the overall, including the driveway and everything else in between would end up
reducing it by about 20 square feet.
Curtis answered yes.
Ressler noted he’s looking at the setbacks and is trying to monitor Staff recommendation because they
like to take a lot of consideration into that as the Staff knows more about the rules than probably anyone.
He said the front street setback of 30 feet required, and noted the existing is 32.8 feet and asked if the
application was proposing further encroaching towards the street right now.
Curtis said the home will conform and the porch will be in the front setback by four feet or so, but the
guideline the Applicant used, that was discussed, was the average setback. They did move into that front
setback but are sticking with the average lakeshore setback - although they’re not subject to it - as it is
more consistent with the neighborhood sightlines.
Ressler asked if in the Staff feedback the main and only disagreement was over structure because they’re
improving hardcover and it seems amicable with what they’re doing with the setbacks.
Curtis answered yes, in comparing the properties along the street, this lot does not have the benefit of the
road area, noting if this lot were to go to the lake (minus the road area), they would be nearly conforming
with their structural coverage proposed but because the platted right-of-way comes so deep into the
property it does not conform. The structure is the Staff’s hang-up.
Ressler noted the road comes into the discussion on every one of these applications. He said he tends to
agree with Staff based on this, he thinks the clarification Curtis just provided is exactly how he looks at it.

Ressler said he built on a similar sized lot on Crystal Bay six years ago and that’s how he ended up here
as there so many rules to try to comply to and fitting so many things into such small places but it’s such
expensive land that you need to try to maximize what you’re able. On a personal and professional level,
he said Orono has gotten a lot more lax on height, which gives more square-footage-ability to build
upward. Being that the family is not originally from the area, he noted he can personally appreciate the
ability to go up much easier than perhaps has been in the past. One of the things the Commission has
heard from the City Council and Staff is that structures are a really difficult one to overcome. He agrees
with Staff on this application, he is okay with everything else, but the structure is where he struggles.
Kirchner moved to approve of the lot area and setback but denial of the structural coverage
variance of LA20-000049 Sharratt Design, 3435 Crystal Bay Road.
Ressler noted a motion of partial approval and partial denial and deferred to Staff as it may be cleaner to
deny the application because they have what is submitted with feedback.
Curtis answered that because the Commission has generally expressed support for the Staff
recommendation, which was if the Applicant resolves the structural coverage issue, the other variances
are supportable. She thinks it is cleaner to deny the proposal as presented with the feedback that the
Commission is giving the Applicant on the rest of the application.
Ressler asked if the Applicant could go to the City Council with an amended plan and the Council would
have the Commission’s feedback on the items that would theoretically be supported without having to
come back to the Commission.
Curtis said yes and that would be what she would reflect in her report to the Council.
Kirchner said with that understanding he would like to amend his motion.
Kirchner moved, Gettman seconded to amend the motion to LA20-000049 Sharratt Design, 3435
Crystal Bay Road for denial of the entire application with the feedback provided to the City
Council going forward. Vote: Ayes 7, Nays 0.
Ressler asked for further clarification of the feedback on whether the Commissioners are supportive of the
rest of the items in the application or not, as that would be good for the Council to have in case this does
go further.
McCutcheon stated they started with that and said with all of the variances and allowances discussed, the
setback and driveway, they have to hit the threshold somewhere. He said the feedback would be that all
of the variances and setbacks are fine, it’s just that the mass of the structure itself is the one thing that
would have to be adjusted with the next application.
Ressler noted that McCutcheon recommended approval of everything on the application except structure,
just to clean everything up.
Libby agreed with Kirchner’s delineation with one comment, noting the builder commented about the fact
that the massing of any elevation changes and height could be more of a deterrent than an asset. He said
they are already at the midpoint so as much as he’d like to see additional space in stick-up-structure

(higher), it doesn’t seem like there is that option with the 30-foot maximum height ordinance. He said he
would agree with Kirchner’s motion.
Ressler said naturally they wouldn’t want to create another variance application, or part of the variance
with any sort of height, but his observation is that height restrictions have gotten a bit more flexible than
they have been in the past.
Erickson said if he understands correctly, they’re asking for a redesign to remove the 2,000 square foot
footprint.
Ressler said they are trying not to, but he is seeking feedback to see if there is a recommendation that
supports Staff’s recommendation, supporting the variances at hand with the exception of the structure, so
that would be the lot area, lot width, hardcover and setbacks with a denial on structural. He said if they’re
going to deny the application as applied which is traditionally what the Commission will do because they
don’t want to redesign the application on the fly, he wants to know if all the Commissioners agree that
they’re in support of lot area, lot width, hardcover and setbacks with the exception of structure.
Erickson said he would go with that.
Ressler noted that Kirchner had been heard so asked Bollis.
Bollis said he agrees with Staff on the application.
Gettman agreed.
2. LA20-000045 MAJID FEHRESTI, 3416 SHORELINE DRIVE, APPEAL OF ZONING
DECISION, 6:33 P.M. - 7:31 P.M.
Majid Fehresti, Applicant, was present.
Staff presented a summary of packet information. Barnhart closed by saying the Planning Commission
should review the information and determine if staff applied the zoning code incorrectly. The options
available to the Planning Commission are: 1) Staff was correct in applying the zoning ordinance, a
Conditional Use Permit is required; 2) Staff was incorrect in applying the zoning ordinance, the use is an
accessory use. [The Commission must identify what use is the principal use.]; 3) Staff was incorrect in
applying the zoning ordinance, but the use is not listed, and therefore is prohibited. a.) The Commission
could suggest that an ordinance amendment is appropriate which would identify the described use as a
permitted or conditional use in the B-1 zoning district.
Ressler summarized and noted looking at the application and hearing what Barnhart said, he thinks the
biggest concerns that Staff has are the limitations to the space that this property is occupying, for
example, as the Applicant has stated in their application, and will be able to talk about this when they are
called up for the Applicant presentation. He noted the Commission doesn’t have a classification of how it
is described in the application and there is also difficulty in understanding whether they want to allow that
use in the Conditional Use Permit (CUP) for an area that is designated for retail.
Barnhart answered yes, but the discussion on the appropriateness of a potential change would come with
that proposed change and he’s not asking the Commission to do that analysis at this stage.

Variances
Public Hearing
Background
The applicant is requesting variances in order to construct a new home on a property with
substandard area and width. Additionally requested are structural coverage, setback, and
hardcover variances to permit 46.3% hardcover where 25% is permitted and a 2,396 square foot
footprint where 2,000 square feet is permitted.
Practical Difficulties Analysis
Applicant Submittal Information: The applicant has identified restrictive ordinances applying to
the property which is 38% of the minimum size for the zoning district and grades that do not
allow the development of basement/mechanical/storage functions as practical difficulties
supporting the requested variances. Additionally, they have provided supporting documentation
regarding Practical Difficulties attached as Exhibit B, and should be asked for additional
testimony regarding the application.
Planning Staff Practical Difficulty Analysis: The property is nonconforming with respect to area
and width. The applicant has designed a new house which fits within the required side and rear
setbacks; and reflects a slight reduction from the existing hardcover level by 19 square feet.
Staff finds practical difficulties inherent to the location, size, and shape of the lot affecting the
property which justify the lot width, lot area, hardcover, and setback variances allowing
redevelopment. The footprint of the proposed home exceeds the permitted footprint size by
396 square feet. The house should be redesigned to fit within the parameters of the zoning
district.
Application Summary: The applicant is requesting variances in order to redevelop the property
with a new residence. Variances for lot area, lot width, hardcover, and setback are required. A
structural coverage variance is also requested.
Staff Recommendation: Planning Department Staff recommends denial of the plan as
proposed, see page 6.

Applicable Regulations:
Lot Area and Lot Width Variances (Section 78-350)
Zoning Code Section 78-72 provides options for the redevelopment of lots which do not meet
the minimum area or width requirements for the respective zoning district. Substandard
properties within the Shoreland Overlay District, like the subject lot, are able to be redeveloped
without variances if specific standards are met; such as:
1. All setback requirements can be met;
2. A Type 1 sewage treatment system consistent with Minnesota Rules, chapter 7080, can
be installed or the lot is connected to a public sewer; and
3. The impervious surface coverage meets all hardcover location and square footage
FILE #LA20-000049
17 August 2020
Page 3 of 6
restrictions of this chapter and the total square footage of hardcover does not exceed
25 percent of the entire lot area.
4. All other zoning district standards can be met.
The applicant’s request for variances results in the property’s inability to conform to all of the
standards above. Therefore, lot area and lot width variances are also required in order to
redevelop the property. The ability to develop the property consistent with other existing
developed properties in the neighborhood would be limited if the area and width variances are
not granted.
Front Setback Variance (Section 78-350)
The proposed home is not a lakeshore lot, however the guidance used to determine setback by
the applicant is the average lakeshore setback line which is consistent with the rest of the
properties along Crystal Bay Road. The proposed home as a non-lakeshore lot has a 30-foot
front setback requirement from the front property line on the north. The proposed home is set
back 26 feet from the front. The rear and side setbacks for the home will be met.
Structural Coverage Variance (Section 78-1403
The existing home and garage are 1,698 square feet; as proposed the new home is 2,396 square
foot (footprint).
This parcel is one of four on Crystal Bay Road which is not encroached on by Crystal Bay Road.
Consequently, these (and the other three) are small related to many of the other lots. The Code
contemplates structural coverage for these small lots by allowing a flat 2,000 square feet for
structural coverage in lieu of the 20%. For this lot, 2,000 square feet is 24%; the applicant is
proposing 28.9%.
Driveway Setback Variance (Section 78-1405(5))
The proposed driveway is shown to be in the same general location and setback as the existing
driveway. The proposed driveway will be 1.5-feet from the property line where a 5-foot setback
is required; 29 feet longer than existing due to the change in house layout.
Hardcover Variance (Section 78-1700)
The applicant is proposing 46.3% total site hardcover (3,846 square feet) where 25% is
permitted; 1,773 square feet more than allowed.
A side load garage is proposed with a 20-foot back up apron and a 9-foot wide driveway access.
They have designed the remainder of the driveway with the minimal hardcover required to
access the property. As noted above, the proposed building coverage in excess of the
permitted 2,000 square feet further exasperates the hardcover level requested.
Governing Regulation: Variance (Section 78-123)
In reviewing applications for variance, the Planning Commission shall consider the effect of the
proposed variance upon the health, safety and welfare of the community, existing and
anticipated traffic conditions, light and air, danger of fire, risk to the public safety, and the effect
on values of property in the surrounding area. The Planning Commission shall consider
recommending approval for variances from the literal provisions of the Zoning Code in instances
where their strict enforcement would cause practical difficulties because of circumstances unique
to the individual property under consideration, and shall recommend approval only when it is

demonstrated that such actions will be in keeping with the spirit and intent of the Orono Zoning
Code. Economic considerations alone do not constitute practical difficulties. Practical difficulties
also include but are not limited to inadequate access to direct sunlight for solar energy systems.
Variances shall be granted for earth-sheltered construction as defined in Minn. Stat. § 216C.06,
subd. 2, when in harmony with this chapter. The board or the council may not permit as a
variance any use that is not permitted under this chapter for property in the zone where the
affected person's land is located. The board or council may permit as a variance the temporary
use of a one-family dwelling as a two-family dwelling.
According to MN §462.357 Subd. 6(2) variances shall only be permitted when:
1. The variance is in harmony with the general intent and purpose of the Ordinance. Due to
the scope, some of the proposed variances are not in harmony with the purpose of the
Ordinance. The substandard lot has difficulties in its small size and depth, and
relationship with the surrounding properties. The right-of-way for Crystal Bay Road in
this location is 66 feet wide, as the road travels west the right-of-way is not present
which makes this property and the two neighbors unique. The house setback on the
lake side is shown to be consistent with the neighborhood. Although not a lakeshore
lot, the majority of the properties along Crystal Bay Road are lakeshore, and subject to
the average lakeshore setback protecting views of the lake. The home meets side and
rear setbacks which helps to provide the necessary open space. The hardcover level
proposed is an improvement from the existing condition and is supported by the small
lot challenges.
2. The variance is consistent with the comprehensive plan. A number of the type of
variances proposed to develop a nonconforming lot of record are consistent with the
comprehensive plan, such as lot area, rear setback, lake setback, and if necessary, some
level of hardcover variance. However the hardcover and structural coverage levels
proposed are inconsistent with the comprehensive plan.
3. The applicant establishes that there are practical difficulties.
a. The property owner proposes to use the property in a reasonable manner not
permitted by the official controls; The request to permit construction of the
home on the substandard lot, within the required front setback appears to be
reasonable as the property’s reduced size and orientation with respect to the
Crystal Bay Road right-of-way, and adjacent properties creates difficulties.
However, the requested structural and hardcover levels may be unreasonable.
b. There are circumstances unique to the property not created by the landowner;
The uniquely small size, location with respect to the right-of-way, and required
setbacks prevent a residential footprint consistent with the neighborhood.
There should be consideration for variance approvals from the hardcover
limitation, the front setback, the side setback for the driveway and the lot area
requirements. Nevertheless, the proposed hardcover and structural levels are
not supported by practical difficulty; and
c. The variance will not alter the essential character of the locality. The scale of the
home footprint and hardcover requested should be reduced to be more in
character with the immediate neighborhood. The lot area and width variances
are requested in order to permit construction of a home, which are reasonable.
Additionally City Code 78-123 provides additional parameters within which a variance may be
granted as follows:
FILE #LA20-000049
17 August 2020
Page 5 of 6
4. Economic considerations alone do not constitute practical difficulties. Economic
considerations have not been a factor in the variance approval determination.
5. Practical difficulties also include but are not limited to inadequate access to direct sunlight
for solar energy systems. Variances shall be granted for earth-sheltered construction as
defined in Minn. Stat. § 216C.06, subd. 2, when in harmony with Orono City Code Chapter
78. This condition is not applicable.
6. The board or the council may not permit as a variance any use that is not permitted under
Orono City Code Chapter 78 for property in the zone where the affected person's land is
located. This condition is not applicable, as a residential home is an allowed use in the
LR-1C District.
7. The board or council may permit as a variance the temporary use of a one-family dwelling
as a two-family dwelling. This condition is not applicable.
8. The special conditions applying to the structure or land in question are peculiar to such
property or immediately adjoining property. The property’s substandard size, width,
depth, and unique configuration creates difficulties which also apply to many of the
properties in the same neighborhood. The setbacks are not out of character. The
proposed structural and hardcover levels
9. The conditions do not apply generally to other land or structures in the district in which
the land is located. The property’s substandard size and width, including the unique non-
lakeshore status on this roadway creates difficulties which apply to very few properties
along Crystal Bay Road.
10. The granting of the application is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a
substantial property right of the applicant. Granting lot area, lot width, front and
driveway setback variances are necessary for the preservation of the property right of
the owners. The variances for the hardcover and structural coverage levels proposed
are a request beyond preservation of a basic property right.
11. The granting of the proposed variance will not in any way impair health, safety, comfort
or morals, or in any other respect be contrary to the intent of this chapter. Granting some
level of hardcover variance, the driveway setback, lot width and area, and front setback
variances in this unique situation are not contrary to the intent of the zoning chapter.
However the proposed levels of structure and hardcover is not supported by practical
difficulty and may be contrary to the intent of the zoning chapter.
12. The granting of such variance will not merely serve as a convenience to the applicant, but
is necessary to alleviate demonstrable difficulty. The variances for lot area, lot width,
driveway and front setback including some more appropriately scaled level of
hardcover variances are necessary, and do not merely serve as a convenience to the
applicant. The additional variances for hardcover and structure as proposed would be
strictly for the convenience of the property owner and unsupported by practical
difficulties.
The Commission may recommend or Council may impose conditions in granting of variances.
Any conditions imposed must be directly related to and must bear a rough proportionality to the
impact created by the variance. No variance shall be granted or changed beyond the use
permitted in this chapter in the district where such land is located.

Public Comments
The neighbors on either side have signed the adjacent property owner acknowledgment form. To
date, no public comments have been received.
Issues for Consideration
1. Does the Planning Commission find that that the property owner proposes to use the
property in a reasonable manner which is not permitted by an official control?
2. Does the Planning Commission find that the variance(s), if granted, will not alter the
essential character of the neighborhood?
3. Does the Commission find it necessary to impose conditions in order to mitigate the
impacts created by the granting of the requested variance(s)?
4. Are there any other issues or concerns with this application?
Planning Staff Recommendation
Recognizing some variances are necessary and appropriate, Staff discussed the proposal with
the applicant and recommended a reduction in both structure and hardcover in order to reach a
plan including variances which were more reasonable. As of this writing, the applicant and
property owners are contemplating some reductions. As currently proposed planning staff
recommends denial of the plan. Should the applicant make revisions and provide a plan
consistent with the allowed 2,000 square foot building footprint, and in turn a reduced
hardcover level, staff finds practical difficulties supporting the remaining variances. The Planning
Commission must react to the plan provided.

AGENDA ITEM
Prepared By: J. Barnhart Reviewed By: DJR Approved By: DJR
1. Purpose. To consider a preliminary plat for a 5 lot single family residential subdivision and a
Comprehensive Plan Amendment (CPA) to expand the Municipal Urban Service Area.
2. State Mandated review deadlines. The deadline for the preliminary plat is December 5th,
2020. The deadline for the CPA has been extended and will expire on November 20, 2020.
3. Background. The City Council reviewed this project in sketch plan form on March 9, 2020
(LA19-102). At that time, it was a 5 lot subdivision to be served by onsite septic systems. In
June, the Council reacted favorably to an informal request to expand the MUSA to allow the lots
to be served by municipal sewer to mitigate finding suitable septic sites.
The proposal shows 5 single family lots, and a new private road extending off of Orono Orchard
Road. The private road will terminate in a conforming cul de sac. All lots will be served by
sanitary sewer, and will connect to the Met Council trunk line (pending MUSA expansion
approval). All lots are conforming to size requirements (2.0 acres gross, 0.5 acres dry buildable).
Lots 1 and 2 do not conform to the width requirement due, though both are consistent with the
sketch plan supported by the Council.
Lot 5 has an existing sanitary sewer easement running through the lot, and as is, will reduce the
buildability of this lot, potentially a self-created hardship. There has been some discussion of
vacating the easement, but no formal action taken.
Stormwater management will conform to City and watershed requirements. The Planning
Commission staff report provides additional analysis on the preliminary plat.
The proposed MUSA expansion will impact the City’s Urban area calculated density, lowering it
from 4.684 to 4.437 units per acre. The minimum is 3.0 units per acre.
An amendment to the Comprehensive Plan occurs in two steps. Step one the City Council
conditionally approves a change, directing staff to initiate the amendment process with the
Metropolitan Council. Step two, following Met Council approval, the City Council finalizes the

4. Planning Commission Vote and Comment. At its meeting on August 17, 2020, the Planning
Commission reviewed the revised preliminary plat and the Comprehensive Plan Amendment,
holding public hearings for both. Following the public hearing, the Planning Commission voted
6-1 on a motion to expand the MUSA (Gettman voted no), and 7-0 on a motion to approve the
preliminary plat.
The Commissioners were comfortable with the flexibility requested in the plan, and felt that the
expansion of the MUSA was appropriate. Gettman felt that the MUSA expansion should occur in
true high density areas.
5. Public Comment. Comments from the neighbors were received and were included in the
Planning Commission packet.
Comments from the City of Long Lake regarding the Comp Plan Amendment have been
requested but have not yet been received.
6. Staff Recommendation. Staff recommends the Council adopt the resolution approving the
preliminary plat and the Comprehensive Plan Amendment.

C-5.05 - SWPPP NARRATIVE
SECTION 2: EROSION AND SEDIMENT CONTROL BMPS
EROSION CONTROL BMPS:
THE PURPOSE OF EROSION CONTROL IS TO PREVENT SOIL PARTICLES FROM BECOMING
SUSPENDED IN WATER AND BEING TRANSPORTED TO EITHER DOWNSTREAM SURFACE WATERS
OR DOWNSTREAM PROPERTIES.
APPROPRIATE CONSTRUCTION PHASING, VEGETATIVE BUFFER STRIPS, HORIZONTAL SLOPE
GRADING, AND OTHER CONSTRUCTION PRACTICES THAT MINIMIZE EROSION MUST BE
PLANNED FOR AND IMPLEMENTED.
IN THE NATURAL CONDITION, SOIL IS STABILIZED BY NATIVE VEGETATION. THE PRIMARY
TECHNIQUE TO BE USED AT THIS PROJECT FOR FINAL STABILIZATION OF SITE SOIL WILL BE TO
PROVIDE A PROTECTIVE COVER OF VEGETATION, PAVEMENT, OR BUILDING.
ALL EXPOSED AREAS MUST BE STABILIZED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE (BUT NO LATER THAN THE
NEXT WORK DAY) TO LIMIT SOIL EROSION, BUT IN NO CASE LATER THAN 14 DAYS. AFTER
THE CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITY IN THAT PORTION OF THE SITE HAS TEMPORARILY OR
PERMANENTLY CEASED. TEMPORARY SOIL STOCKPILES WITHOUT SIGNIFICANT SILT, CLAY
OR ORGANIC COMPONENTS (E.G. CLEAN AGGREGATED STOCKPILES, DEMOLITION CONCRETE
STOCKPILES, SAND STOCKPILES) AND THE CONSTRUCTED BASE COMPONENTS OF ROADS,
PARKING LOTS AND SIMILAR SURFACES ARE EXEMPT FROM THIS REQUIREMENT, BUT MUST
COMPLY WITH SECTION 2.7 OF THIS SWPPP (SECTION 8.4, 9.9, 9.10, AND 23.9 OF THE
GENERAL PERMIT).
SEDIMENT CONTROL BMPS:
THE PURPOSE OF SEDIMENT CONTROL IS TO PREVENT SOIL PARTICLES THAT HAVE BEEN
SUSPENDED IN WATER FROM ENTERING SURFACE WATERS, INCLUDING CURB AND GUTTER
SYSTEMS AND STORM SEWER INLETS. SEDIMENT CONTROL BMPS HAVE BEEN DESIGNED AS
PART OF THIS SWPPP.
IF THE DOWN GRADIENT TREATMENT SYSTEM IS OVERLOADED, THE CONTRACTOR IS
RESPONSIBLE FOR IMPLEMENTING ADDITIONAL UP GRADIENT SEDIMENT CONTROL PRACTICES
OR REDUNDANT BMPS TO ELIMINATE THE OVERLOADING AND MUST AMEND THE SWPPP TO
IDENTIFY THE ADDITIONAL PRACTICES.
SEDIMENT CONTROL PRACTICES MUST ALWAYS BE ESTABLISHED ON ALL DOWN GRADIENT
PERIMETERS AND BE LOCATED UPGRADIENT OF ANY BUFFER ZONES. THE PERIMETER
SEDIMENT CONTROL PRACTICES MUST BE IN PLACE BEFORE ANY UP GRADIENT LAND
DISTURBING ACTIVITIES BEGIN. THESE PRACTICES MUST REMAIN IN PLACE UNTIL FINAL
STABILIZATION IS ACHIEVED (SEE SECTION 8 OF THIS SWPPP).
THE TIMING OF THE INSTALLATION OF SEDIMENT CONTROL PRACTICES MAY BE ADJUSTED TO
ACCOMMODATE SHORT-TERM ACTIVITIES SUCH AS CLEARING OR GRUBBING, OR PASSAGE OF
VEHICLES. ANY SHORT TERM ACTIVITY MUST BE COMPLETED AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE AND
THE SEDIMENT CONTROL PRACTICES MUST BE RE-INSTALLED IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE
ACTIVITY IS COMPLETED. SEDIMENT CONTROL PRACTICES MUST BE INSTALLED BEFORE THE
NEXT RAIN EVENT EVEN IF THE ACTIVITY IS NOT COMPLETE.
2.1 MINIMIZE DISTURBED AREA AND PROTECT NATURAL FEATURES
AND SOIL
THE WETLANDS ON SITE SHALL BE PROTECTED FROM ANY UNNECESSARY DISTURBANCE. THE
CONTRACTOR SHALL PROTECT THE WETLAND AREA WITH SILT FENCE AS INDICATED BY THE
PLANS SHALL ONLY GRADE THE REQUIRED AREAS. CONSTRUCTION TRAFFIC SHALL AVOID THE
WETLAND AREAS MUCH AS POSSIBLE.
CONTRACTOR SHALL MINIMIZE SOIL COMPACTION AND PRESERVE TOPSOIL ON SITE.
2.2 PRESERVE 50 FOOT NATURAL BUFFER
THE CONTRACTOR MUST PRESERVE A 50 FOOT NATURAL BUFFER (OR IF A BUFFER IS
INFEASIBLE ON THE SITE PROVIDE REDUNDANT SEDIMENT CONTROLS) WHEN A SURFACE
WATER IS LOCATED WITHIN 50 FEET OF THE PROJECTS EARTH DISTURBANCES AND
STORMWATER FLOWS TO THE SURFACE WATER. THE CONTRACTOR IS NOT REQUIRED TO
ENHANCE THE QUALITY OF THE VEGETATION THAT ALREADY EXISTS IN THE BUFFER OR
PROVIDE VEGETATION IF NONE EXISTS.
2.3 CONTROL STORMWATER FLOWING ONTO AND THROUGH THE
PROJECT
MEASURES SHOULD BE TAKEN TO ENSURE THAT “CLEAN” RUNOFF FROM OFF SITE IS DIVERTED
AROUND DISTURBED AREAS ON SITE. CARE SHOULD BE TAKEN THAT RE-ROUTING OFF SITE
RUNOFF DOES NOT RESULT IN FLOODING OR OTHER ISSUES ON ADJACENT PROPERTIES.

SECTION 3: DEWATERING & BASIN DRAINING
3.1 DEWATERING AND BASIN DRAINING
ALLOWABLE NON-STORMWATER DISCHARGES, AS DEFINED BY THE GENERAL PERMIT, ARE
LIMITED TO DEWATERING AND BASIN DRAINING. DEWATERING OR BASIN DRAINING THAT
MAY HAVE TURBID OR SEDIMENT LADEN DISCHARGE WATER MUST BE DISCHARGED TO A
TEMPORARY OR PERMANENT SEDIMENTATION BASIN ON THE PROJECT SITE WHENEVER
POSSIBLE. IF THE WATER CANNOT BE DISCHARGED TO A SEDIMENTATION BASIN PRIOR TO
ENTERING THE SURFACE WATER, IT MUST BE TREATED WITH THE APPROPRIATE BMPS, SUCH
THAT THE DISCHARGE DOES NOT ADVERSELY AFFECT THE RECEIVING WATER OR
DOWNSTREAM LANDOWNERS. THE CONTRACTOR MUST ENSURE THAT DISCHARGE POINTS
ARE ADEQUATELY PROTECTED FROM EROSION AND SCOUR. THE DISCHARGE MUST BE
DISPERSED OVER NATURAL ROCK RIPRAP, SAND BAGS, PLASTIC SHEETING OR OTHER
ACCEPTED ENERGY DISSIPATION MEASURES. ADEQUATE SEDIMENTATION CONTROL
MEASURES ARE REQUIRED FOR DISCHARGE WATER THAT CONTAINS SUSPENDED SOLIDS. ALL
WATER FROM DEWATERING OR BASIN DRAINING MUST BE DISCHARGED IN A MANNER THAT
DOES NOT CAUSE NUISANCE CONDITIONS, EROSION IN RECEIVING CHANNELS OR ON
DOWNSLOPE PROPERTIES, OR INUNDATION IN WETLANDS CAUSING SIGNIFICANT ADVERSE
IMPACT TO THE WETLAND. IF THE CONTRACTOR ELECTS TO UTILIZE FILTERS WITH BACKWASH
WATER, THE CONTRACTOR MUST HAUL THE BACKWASH WATER AWAY FOR DISPOSAL,
RETURN THE BACKWATER TO THE BEGINNING OF THE TREATMENT PROCESS, OR
INCORPORATE THE BACKWASH WATER INTO THE SITE IN A MANNER THAT DOES NOT CAUSE
EROSION. THE CONTRACTOR MUST REPLACE AND CLEAN THE FILTER MEDIA USED IN
DEWATERING DEVICES WHEN REQUIRED TO RETAIN ADEQUATE FUNCTION. CONTRACTOR
SHALL OBTAIN A WATER USE (APPROPRIATION) PERMIT FROM THE MINNESOTA DNR FOR
DEWATERING ACTIVITIES THAT WILL WITHDRAW MORE THAN 10,000 GALLONS OF WATER
PER DAY OR 1 MILLION GALLONS PER YEAR.

BE EMPTIED PERIODICALLY BY A CONTRACT TRASH DISPOSAL SERVICE AND HAULED
AWAY FROM THE SITE. DISPOSAL OF SOLID WASTES MUST COMPLY WITH MPCA
REQUIREMENTS.
2.GROUNDWATER PROTECTION - SUBSTANCES THAT HAVE THE POTENTIAL FOR
POLLUTING SURFACE AND/OR GROUNDWATER MUST BE CONTROLLED BY WHATEVER
MEANS NECESSARY IN ORDER TO ENSURE THAT THEY DO NOT DISCHARGE FROM THE
SITE. AS AN EXAMPLE, SPECIAL CARE MUST BE EXERCISED DURING EQUIPMENT FUELING
AND SERVICING OPERATIONS. IF A SPILL OCCURS, IT MUST BE CONTAINED AND DISPOSED
OF SO THAT IT WILL NOT FLOW FROM THE SITE OR ENTER GROUNDWATER, EVEN IF THIS
REQUIRES REMOVAL, TREATMENT, AND DISPOSAL OF SOIL. IN THIS REGARD,
POTENTIALLY POLLUTING SUBSTANCES SHOULD BE HANDLED IN A MANNER CONSISTENT
WITH THE IMPACT THEY REPRESENT.
3.SANITARY FACILITIES - ALL PERSONNEL INVOLVED WITH CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITIES
MUST COMPLY WITH STATE AND LOCAL SANITARY SEPTIC SYSTEM REGULATIONS.
PORTABLE TOILETS MUST BE POSITIONED SO THAT THEY ARE SECURE AND WILL NOT BE
TIPPED OR KNOCKED OVER. TEMPORARY SANITARY FACILITIES WILL BE PROVIDED AT THE

1.PREPARE SOIL BEFORE INSTALLING BLANKETS, INCLUDING ANY NECESSARY APPLICATION OF LIME,
FERTILIZER, AND SEED.
2.BEGIN AT THE TOP OF THE SLOPE BY ANCHORING THE BLANKET IN A 6" DEEP X 6" WIDE TRENCH WITH
APPROXIMATELY 12" OF BLANKET EXTENDED BEYOND THE UP-SLOPE PORTION OF THE TRENCH.
ANCHOR THE BLANKET WITH A ROW OF STAPLES/STAKES APPROXIMATELY 12" APART IN THE BOTTOM
OF THE TRENCH. BACKFILL AND COMPACT THE TRENCH AFTER STAPLING. APPLY SEED TO
COMPACTED SOIL AND FOLD REMAINING 12" PORTION OF BLANKET BACK OVER SEED AND
COMPACTED SOIL. SECURE BLANKET OVER COMPACTED SOIL WITH A ROW OF STAPLES/STAKES
SPACED APPROXIMATELY 12" APART ACROSS THE WIDTH OF THE BLANKET.
3.ROLL THE BLANKETS (A.) DOWN OR (B.) HORIZONTALLY ACROSS THE SLOPE. BLANKETS WILL UNROLL
WITH APPROPRIATE SIDE AGAINST THE SOIL SURFACE. ALL BLANKETS MUST BE SECURELY FASTENED
TO SOIL SURFACE BY PLACING STAPLES/STAKES IN APPROPRIATE LOCATIONS AS PER MANUFACTURES
RECOMMENDATION.
4.THE EDGES OF PARALLEL BLANKETS MUST BE STAPLED WITH APPROXIMATELY 4"-6" OVERLAP
DEPENDING ON BLANKET TYPE. TO ENSURE PROPER SEAM ALIGNMENT, PLACE THE EDGE OF THE
OVERLAPPING BLANKET (BLANKET BEING INSTALLED ON TOP) EVEN WITH THE SEAM STITCH ON THE
PREVIOUSLY INSTALLED BLANKET.
5.CONSECUTIVE BLANKETS SPLICED DOWN THE SLOPE MUST BE PLACED END OVER END (SHINGLE
STYLE) WITH AN APPROXIMATE 3"OVERLAP. STAPLE THROUGH OVERLAPPED AREA, APPROXIMATELY
12"APART ACROSS ENTIRE BLANKET WIDTH.
6.PLACE STAPLES/STAKES PER MANUFACTURE RECOMMENDATION FOR THE APPROPRIATE SLOPE BEING
APPLIED.
NOTES:
1.IN LOOSE SOIL CONDITIONS, THE USE OF STAPLE OR STAKE LENGTHS GREATER THAN 6" MAY BE
NECESSARY TO PROPERLY SECURE THE BLANKETS.

Subject: #LA20-30, Eric Luth o/b/o Gordon James Construction, 135 Orono Orchard
Road, Preliminary Plat and LA20-50 Comprehensive Plan Amendment
Public Hearing
Background
The Planning Commission reviewed this Preliminary Plat in May, 2020. At that time, the
proposal was for 4 single family lots, with all lots being served by on-site septic systems.
On June 8th the applicant approached the Council inquiring as to the possibility of expanding the
MUSA to serve the property because of the difficulty of finding suitable septic sites for the lots.
The City Council conceptually supported the idea, but noted that formal review is necessary.
Because of the proposed change in the number of lots and sewerage, staff felt is appropriate to
hold a second public hearing on the plat. The Comprehensive Plan Amendment requires a public
hearing.
Prior to the May 2020 review, this project was reviewed as a sketch plan (LA19-000102)
reviewed by the City Council on March 9, 2020. That sketch plan proposed 5 buildable lots on
the property. The preliminary plat proposal is generally consistent with the sketch plan. The
preliminary plat is shown on Exhibit B. Development plans are provided as Exhibit C.
The project is part of a transfer of ownership between the YMCA and Gordon James
Construction. County records now show Onyx Performance Investment, LLC as the owner.
Statute mandated review period analysis. The Preliminary plat application was received on
April 22, 2020, and deemed complete on August 7, 2020. The 120 period for review expires on
December 5, 2020. The Comprehensive Plan Amendment application was received on July 23,
2020 and deemed complete then. The 60 day review period expires on September 21, 2020.
Proposal - Plat
The applicant proposes the subdivision of the 39.4 acre parcel into 5 buildable sites and a new
private road. Plat improvements will include the road and associated grading, sanitary sewer and
Application Summary: The applicant is requesting preliminary plat approval to subdivide the
39.4 acre parcel into 5 buildable lots. The applicant is also requesting Comprehensive Plan
Amendment approval to expand the Municipal Urban Service Area (MUSA) to the subdivision
to allow sewer service to all lots.
Staff Recommendation: Planning Department Staff recommends approval, subject to
conditions including engineering and planning comments.

stormwater management improvements. The house sites are not expected to be graded until the
building permits for those lots are issued. Consequently, the building height for those lots will be
based on the existing grade, not a new engineered grade.
The property is bounded on the northwest and west sides by Long Lake Creek. The Luce line
forms the southern boundary, and Orono Orchard road forms a portion of the NE boundary, with
the rest of the NE boundary private single family residential. The property includes substantial
wetlands, with the buildable portion of the property generally located along high ground in the
middle of the site, flanking the existing driveway.
Current improvements include the driveway mentioned above that serves an existing single
family residence on proposed lot 3. There is an easement running generally parallel to the creek
on the west and northwest boundaries, but does cut through a portion of the buildable portion of
Lot 5. This easement will remain as is.
Proposal – Comprehensive Plan Amendment
The applicant proposes expanding the MUSA to incorporate the subject parcel. Without the
Comprehensive Plan Amendment, the MUSA cannot be expanded, and the parcels are not
eligible to be served by sanitary sewer.
The Comprehensive plan provides a framework for considering, and ultimately, requesting
expansion of the MUSA from the Metropolitan Council. These priorities are listed here:
The subject parcel meets priority 2, as it abuts the tributary, Long Lake Creek. The
Comprehensive Plan further requires an expansion to meet one of the following conditions.
Condition #3 applies to this project:
Conditions
Expansion of the MUSA on the established prioritized basis noted above will occur only
when one of the following conditions is found:
1. When an area of existing homes has failing or non-conforming septic systems and
replacement drain field sites are not available for a significant share of the existing
homes.
2. When an individual home has a failing or non-conforming septic system, does not
have an alternate drain field site, is adjacent to existing sewer lines, and is not part
FILE # LA20-30
August 17, 2020
Page 3 of 6
of a neighborhood that could be better served by a neighborhood sewer lateral
project.
3. When a new or existing residential development meeting all required development
standards is adjacent to existing sewer lines and the developer or homeowners
agree to bear all costs of extending municipal sewer to the development, but only
when inclusion of such development in the MUSA will not result in a decrease in
the City’s sewered density as calculated by the Metropolitan Council.
The Commission should note that the calculated city density will drop from 4.684 units per acre
to 4.437 units per acre. The City must maintain at least a minimum density of 3.0 units per acre.
Analysis
Conservation Design Plan
The applicants have prepared a Conservation Design Plan, dated April 22, 2020, attached as
Exhibit F. The Commission should determine that the plan adequately addresses the natural
resource management goals, illustrated below:
(1) Protection and enhancement of drainage-ways and water quality; The site is bordered
on the north by Long Lake Creek. Structure setbacks of 100 feet apply, though a
portion of the road falls within this setback, replacing the existing driveway.
There are no alternative locations for a road. Stormwater management is
important throughout the city of Orono. The plans include a storm water
management plan, currently being reviewed.
(2) Protection and enhancement of ecological communities; The property includes a
large amount of wetlands and steep slopes. These areas are preserved from
development. The Commission and Council may wish to discuss the advantages of
conservation easements to further project these areas.
(3) Reinforcement and establishment of ecological connections throughout the city; The
development is based on Orono’s rural development principals.
(4) Augmentation and preservation of view-sheds including corridor enclosure and
buffering; The site is well hidden from Orono Orchard Road, and views from the
Luce Line are dominated by the environment (wetlands, trees, etc.). The addition
of the homes is not likely to negatively impact the views into the area.
(5) Preservation and improvement of views; and The location of the homes and the plat
improvements are not expected to negatively impact the view into or out of the
property.

Lot Analysis Worksheet
This project is developed to be compatible with the RR-1B zoning district. If sewered, the district
requires 2 acres of gross lot area, and 0.5 acres of dry buildable land. This district requires 200
feet of lot width.
Gross
area

Lot 2 8.17 2.3 130** Cul de sac lot

Lot 4 7.84 2.0 200+ Lot abutting tributary
Lot 5 16.72 2.0 200+*** Lot abutting tributary
The area calculations are assumed, based on the sketch plan configuration, final numbers have
been requested.
Staff has the following comments regarding the subdivision design/ configuration.
*Lot width, Lot 1. Lot 1 is a corner lot. The front lot line is the one on Orono Orchard Road,
which does not provide adequate width at the building setback. However, the lot width on the
new road is more than adequate to provide the necessary lot width for the expected home
character. There had been some discussion about creating an outlot for an entrance monument,
removing the frontage, though that has not been reflected in the plans.
**Lot width, Lot 2. The lot width for a non-lakeshore lot is measured at the “rear of the front
yard”. In the RR-1B zoning district, that is 50 feet from the property line. The width for lot 2 is
computed as 130 feet, less than the 200 feet required. The Council has been flexible with this
requirement for cul de sac lots.
***Buildable area, lot 5. An existing easement runs through the buildable area of lot five,
drastically reducing available building sites. Future owners will be constrained by this easement
for any improvement, including patios, garages, sheds, etc. It is recommended that this easement
be vacated and relocated.
The City Council may grant variances from the subdivision code so that substantial justice may
be done and the public interest secured, provided that such a variance shall not have the effect
of nullifying the intent and purpose of this chapter.
Development Sign. The applicants have indicated a desire to place a monument sign at the
entrance, though not shown. There is a 100 foot setback from the tributary for buildings/
structures, effectively forcing the sign to be located on the south side of the road. An easement
and maintenance document will need to be prepared for a sign on private property.
The project includes the development of a new private road extending into the property from
Orono Orchard Road. This road appears to meet city standards for length, ROW width, and
pavement width. A homeowners association or maintenance document will be required to
FILE # LA20-30

provide for the protect maintenance of the road.
Utilities
Stormwater management. The storm water management plan has not been approved by the
watershed district or the city engineer, though their comments are provided as Exhibit H. At
the time of final plat, a stormwater trunk fee will apply. Staff recommends any approval of
the preliminary plat be conditioned on approval of the Watershed district and reflect city
engineer comments.
Sanitary Sewer. The city engineer has provided comment specific to the sanitary sewer
system proposed to run within the right-of-way for the new road, connecting to a ne manhole
in Orono Orchard Road. These comments are:
1. The utility plan should include profiles. For the gravity sewer main proposed, if possible
the slopes of the pipes from MH 4-MH1 should be increased.
2. The connection point for the Sewer system into the MCES line must be reviewed and
approved by MCES as a condition of preliminary plat approval.
3. A sewer extension permit will need to be approved by MCES and MPCA, as a condition
of preliminary plat approval.
Stormwater Quality. Stormwater Quality Overlay District prescribes stormwater quality
standards, a maximum amount of hardcover on a given lot. The subject parcel is in Tier 1, due to
its proximity to Long Lake Creek. Upon subdivision, each lot will be assigned a Tier. These
assignments have not been completed. It is anticipated that lots 1, 3, 4, and 5 will be Tier 1
(25%) and lot 2 may be Tier 2 (30%). Tier assignments will be made as part of the final plat.
All lots proposed are greater than 2.0 acres and are exempt from the structural coverage
limitation.
Parks. The plan does not include any park area. Park dedication will be satisfied by a cash donation
for the 4 new lots.
Landscaping. The applicant has not yet provided a landscaping plan. The subdivision code does
require one shade tree per 40 feet of right of way. Staff recommends the trees be planted in clumps,
a more natural effect rather than in a linear pattern.
The plan anticipates the removal of two trees for road construction, and potentially 10 more. The
plan does not show or identify the trees that would be removed for house, septic, or driveway
construction. The trees that are to be removed are already dead, or small, 9 inches (diameter at
breast height, DBH). The trees in danger range in size between 12 inches and 45 inches (DBH)
and are a mixture of pine, cedar, and fir.
Fees. Based on the 4 new lots in this subdivision, the following fees would be required at the time
of final plat.
Per Lot fee x
Number

Stormwater Truck Fee 8,060.00$ 4 32,240.00$

AND GORDON JAMES INC., 135 ORONO ORCHARD ROAD, PRELIMINARY PLAT AND
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT, 7:31 P.M. – 8:07 P.M.
John Quinlivan of Gordon James Inc., Applicant, was present.
Staff presented a summary packet of information. Barnhart closed the presentation by saying A) Planning
Staff recommends approval of the Comprehensive Plan Amendment as proposed. B.) Planning Staff
recommends approval of the subdivision as proposed, subject to the following conditions:
1. Approval of the Comprehensive Plan Amendment for the MUSA expansion
2. Met Council approval of the connection point and permit for the sanitary sewer system.
3. MCWD approval of the stormwater management plan.

Ressler asked if Barnhart could cover the explanation of the Municipal Urban Service Area (MUSA) and
how that affects the City’s density, since that is part of the 10-year Comprehensive Plan, he’d like to
understand the effects of that one more time.
Barnhart noted in the packet there is a worksheet (Table 3B-4) which had been put together with the
Comprehensive Plan to show the results if nothing happened (Line 1), or if they pursued the action (Line
2). He said with the current Comprehensive Plan, the calculated City density (the density of all the
properties throughout the community that are served by the MUSA) served by sanitary sewer is 4.684.
That is important to note as there is property along the lakes that is guided for low density 2 acre lots and
they do not want to add more density adjacent to the lake, so they created a capacity in a more recent
Comprehensive Plan to allow connection of those larger lots to the City’s septic system without having to
add another 50 story apartment building somewhere in town. Barnhart said the Council worked very hard
on the last Comprehensive Plan to clarify where it is appropriate to put high density and in certain areas
that are marginal, where it is not appropriate to put high density, as it has the rural character that is Orono.
By adding that capacity there are certain areas, like the one before the Commission, which is a 13-acre
parcel that can support 5 lots; If the City wants to serve that with sanitary sewer, they can do it without
too big of a hit or having to add for density elsewhere. He said the Commission may recall a subdivision
at 690 Brown Road a couple of years ago, which had 7 lots on 24 acres, again a large lot adjacent to Long
Lake which is an impaired water, and allows them to provide sewer to that area without detriment to other
areas in the community. Getting back to the chart, Barnhart noted the minimum density must be 3 units
an acre or more (part of the Met Council rules) and Orono is at 4.685. With this change, by adding 13
acres, the total amount of acres in MUSA is 227.2 and based on the density guidance of all of that
property, they are proposing 1,008 units and the density is 4.437. He said it is above the 3 unit minimum
density, noting it’s a bit of a reduction from what they have now but not a huge change. As for the other
columns in Table 3B-4, Barnhart noted the Met Council requires each City to identify opportunities for
growth in two 10-year periods, the 2021-2030 period and the 2031-2040 period. Looking at all of the
growth in the MUSA area, they had to identify a potential for this number of homes, noting the next layer
is that the density is fine and the City has opportunities for new homes in the area.

Ressler clarified that when they’re going through the Comprehensive Plan, they are trying to add density
to satisfy the Met Council and he wanted to get up to speed on how that is affected on this application.
McCutcheon asked Barnhart if they were to extend the MUSA line, the next time the Comprehensive Plan
comes around, isn’t this area more likely for the density to be increased since it has the sewer line. He
noted they want to maintain the greenspace and what makes Orono awesome, and said it’s kind of a
double-edged sword, but he’d prefer the sanitary sewer over a septic tank, especially in areas where septic
tanks aren’t the best choice. He is hesitant about increasing the density number and asked if they extend
the MUSA line, the next time they look at the Comp Plan and they have to meet these requirements, are
the areas with the sewer looked at first for being able to increase density of the City.
Barnhart answered he thinks the Development Committee would probably say yes, but the City Council
has historically said no. He said they have drawn a distinction between where the line is and where the
density is appropriate. He said the location of the sanitary sewer isn’t the only criteria, they also want to
look at the natural environment, access, what is next door, etcetera. He noted they may hear those
arguments and still get calls now of where the MUSA is, asking if they can add high density next door to
that area. Barnhart’s answer to those questions is whatever the Comprehensive Plan says and usually
there is a hard line there. He noted he wouldn’t be worried that because they’ve extended the MUSA,
they will automatically have requests to have higher density in those adjacent areas. He reiterated that
they do get those questions, but have a pretty strong Comprehensive Plan and they can say no, that’s not
consistent with what the land use is, so there are really two parts.
Ressler clarified, saying Staff is recommending approval to expand the MUSA for the uses laid out.
Barnhart answered yes, and to be equally clear, Staff is not suggesting nor is the Applicant requesting,
any increase in density than what would already be allowed there.
Ressler said this would not require any modification to existing sewer lines as he understands it.
Barnhart answered the proposals connect to an existing trunk line owned by Met Council.
Gettman asked if the 4.684 number, they should be able to just divide the 1,008 divided by the 227.2 to
get that number.
Barnhart answered there may be some other hidden numbers in there, and the table is just a snapshot,
there are other numbers that are already served by the MUSA but not connected so it complicates it a bit.
Gettman said the reason he asked is at the end of the day, the properties that can afford to have the larger
acreage, they want to keep and save that for the ones that can be high density; this seems to go against
that and even from the four to five properties, especially when they’re stretching some of the frontages on
this property, it seems like they’re really pushing it to get to five properties and that’s what he’s
struggling with.
Barnhart asked if he means in terms of the preliminary plat.
Gettman answered yes.

Barnhart said that is fair, there is some discussion to be had about the easement that cuts through one of
the lots, and they may not get to five properties. He pointed out how the Met Council uses that Table,
noting they take a strict, if you have 13 acres, and use the guidance, there should be 6.5 units on that
property. Barnhart said he chose 7 units to not alarm the Commission or others in terms of how many
projects are being proposed here but to give a real impact and number to the application.
Ressler invited the Applicant to the podium.
Mr. John Quinlivan of Gordon James Inc., 5159 Main Street, Maple Plain, stated he was here a couple of
months ago and would like to clarify how they ended up going from five to four and back to five (single
family lots), he noted it was a combination of steep slopes, wetlands, and the easement that ran through
the property and they thought it was just the best fit. He noted the steep slopes and some of the
challenges are the reason they ended up coming back to the City and Mr. Quinlivan had a conversation
with Mr. Barnhart, who ran the report. Mr. Quinlivan then decided to approach the Council as there are a
lot of sensitive wetlands out there. He said with the pipe in the street, he contacted Met Council and it’s a
gravity line so it’s not high pressure, and it looks like it really fits well for Gordon James Inc. to do so,
which brought him here today.
Chair Ressler opened the public hearing at 7:50 p.m.
Mr. Jamie Lowe, 105 Orono Orchard Rd, said about three years ago this issue came before the City
Council and the Commission, regarding the expansion of the MUSA property lines and three years ago it
was resoundingly rejected. He stated now it has shifted and there is an open appetite for it, so he is
curious why three years ago it was a no and today it is a yes. He is trying to understand how the thinking
evolves in changes, noting he has an interest as he lives in a house that is directly impacted.
Ressler said he’s not sure he’s best qualified to answer but he does know that there are a lot of factors that
are influencing each city with their Comprehensive Plan and it does get complicated. He noted he would
let Mr. Barnhart comment on the explanation so he does not butcher it.
Barnhart said he thinks the main change between this project and request at this time versus three to four
years ago is that at that time, it was as much higher densely populated development of 15 units, which
required the MUSA expansion. He noted that on this application, the density is the same as if it was
septic, so that is why was much more palatable. Barnhart stated that the Council hasn’t acted on anything
yet but they seemed supportive earlier in part because of the perception in terms of a density issue. He
said how the sewer is treated is less of an issue versus how many units are on the property.
Mr. Lowe asked for clarification, noting there is an existing home on the site today and asked if it is that
existing home plus four new sites or the existing home plus three sites.
Barnhart said there will be five lots total, and noted each parcel on a map onscreen.
Ressler said based on the proposal it’s not clear whether that property would stay or go, but Mr.
Quinlivan may be able to comment on it.
Mr. Lowe said for him, it’s a fairness thing and he apologized, but about 15 years ago, he noted they put a
lot of money into their house, well over a million dollars. At the time, they applied to the City of Orono,
because there is a pumping station right across the street, and they asked if they could plug into that and

the answer was no. He said it just seems like the world shifted. He also asked to clarify that there is no
cost impact to the current residents on Orono Orchard Road, and if the City brings sewer and water, there
is no incremental cost or negative environmental impact for them.
Mr. Barnhart said the expansion costs are all borne by the Applicant. He said he cannot say there won’t
be some disruption, as obviously there will be some work on Orono Orchard Road for the utility
connection so there may be some temporary negative impacts, but there will be no cost impacts to any
adjacent property owners.
Ressler asked Barnhart, if Mr. Lowe would like to tie into the sewer that is not being expanded, is that
something the City would be able to assist him in, noting that typically there is a hook-up fee and things
like that. He said since that was of interest before, perhaps it would be of interest in the near future, also.
Mr. Lowe said he appreciates the question and he doesn’t know if they’d want to tie in or not. He then
asked Mr. Barnhart how much disruption there would be, whether it means five minutes or five weeks.
Barnhart said he doesn’t know but it will be a road project in the middle of the road, he would imagine
they will not close down the road but will probably have to do some work in the right-of-way, noting they
are well premature on the details at this time. To be up front, Barnhart said they get that question a lot, if
there will be any impacts to residents and then six months down the line when the road is closed down to
put in a utility pipe, that is an impact. He said he just doesn’t have all the details yet and said once they
know more about the final plans, that is a good question to be asked during the final plat.
Mr. Lowe asked to clarify that the plan is not to call for more than five homes.
Barnhart answered the proposal is for five homes.
Chair Ressler closed the public hearing at 7:56 p.m.
Ressler said without regurgitating all of the comments, they’ve had some very productive dialogue back-
and-forth leading up to the discussion. He said the way that this is laid out seems to be tasteful and he
thinks it makes sense as far as what the Commission is trying to do and it’s always nice to be able to add
in to sewer, it makes it less complicated which has been noted.
McCutcheon asked to clarify that everything is at least 2 acres.
Barnhart confirmed yes.
McCutcheon said what is on the table is the setback lot width and the extension of the line. He stated he
loves Orono and the greenspace but he is hesitant to extend the line, although it’s not a new trunk line, as
it would be expanding an existing route and there is no pump station needed. He said it’s a slippery slope
because if the line is extended, regarding the density numbers, the Met Council will come after them
again and say they want more or higher density from Orono. McCutcheon said whether they will put
another condo, apartment or other higher density building in the City, he doesn’t know if they have the
space for that, and eventually they will have to come into the rural space and this gives the Met Council
the ability to do that. As a function of time, anything that is on the Met Council sewer line is going to be
higher density, noting that eventually the City will not be able to hold that back. He stated he likes that
this is a 2 acre minimum; he is fearful of it but thinks he will have to support it because it aligns with the
MINUTES OF THE

current zoning and it is better for the environment to have the Met Council line. He said the density
numbers are what they are, they aren’t putting a huge complex in this site, it’s still very conservative and
so he would be in support of it, noting they could rehash that the lot widths don’t seem like a dealbreaker
to him and that five lots is applicable.
Erickson said he is in support of Staff’s recommendation.
Gettman said he is still struggling with this particular lot being the right one to start to split up, especially
after the golf course when they ended up having it not fall under MUSA. Going back to the one testifier
(Mr. Lowe), what has really changed in the last couple of years that now they need to jump with this one,
which is not an ideal property to be splitting up.
Bollis said he agrees with Staff’s recommendation and appreciates the detailed report as far as the MUSA
numbers go. In his eyes, it’s a completely conforming subdivision so he doesn’t think there is even
anything the Commission can say in that they cannot approve this.
Ressler stated the biggest thing the Commission needs to deliberate is the development, but also being
willing to expand the MUSA.
Barnhart answered yes, that is the biggest variable to Mr. Bollis’s point, it makes most of the lots meet the
criteria of the lot-width issue, and noted if that is an issue that is certainly something they can raise. The
Commission has the most discretion on the MUSA expansion, and they have the ability to change that
basically at will, as to what the City thinks is appropriate. He said if they didn’t want this project that is
where they would suggest they don’t want the MUSA expansion here.
Bollis noted he thinks if there were any property, this would be the appropriate one for that because of the
wetlands involved, they can put in a gravity-fed system so it’s not a high-pressure one, which mitigates
that environmental piece that the neighbors were concerned about, if a septic system failed that could
pollute the creek. In his opinion, Bollis thinks it make s sense for this one.
Ressler said it truly seems that expanding the MUSA is doing that, it’s allowing them to do sewer versus
septic and asked if that was accurate.
Barnhart answered yes, you can’t connect city sewer without that expansion.
Kirchner stated he is in support of this.
McCutcheon asked if the Commission approves the MUSA, can they tie it to this specific plan, or at that
point could the Applicant reapply with a different plan.
Barnhart clarified if McCutcheon is asking if the Commission could approve the MUSA subject to this
preliminary plat.
McCutcheon answered that is correct.
Barnhart answered no, because the property owner has the right to subdivide their property, but taken
together you have this plan and this proposal. He stated that doesn’t that if this project doesn’t go forward
for whatever reason and ten years down the line someone changes it, that is why they’re suggesting the

conditions in the Staff report, which were recommending approval of the Comp Plan as proposed and that
Staff recommends approval of the subdivisions proposed subject to the MUSA expansion.
Ressler commented that he appreciates the clarification on expanding the MUSA and not being able to
make it contingent on this particular plat development. It still goes to the City Council and they need to
weigh in on it, but again, Ressler thinks the root of this is for this development, for this piece of land it
appears that the Commission feels it is something that would fit for the MUSA expansion for the
environmental concerns, feasibility and without having to take on a great expense to the City to do so. He
said even though it would be nice to approve it as conditional, at the same time he’d like to identify if
they feel that this would still be a good fit for expanding the MUSA. Ressler noted he believes one of the
public hearing questions was the intended use of the existing property, whether it makes a difference or
not and asked Mr. Quinlivan to share any intentions on the use of that property.
Mr. Quinlivan said right now there is someone that has a lot hold on it and he believes their intention
would be to take the house down and build a new house there. In the end, they could buy it and not do
that but that is what he believes their intention is.

Orono Orchard
Project Narrative
This picturesque 39.4 acre in the heart of Orono has been untouched for over 40 years. With road frontage of
approximately 127 feet, it has been one of the areas best kept secrets, because most residents, even those living
close by, didn’t realize it was there. Our goal is to keep this parcel picturesque and maintain the “rural feel” by
creating 5 large lots from 3.01 acres to 16.72 acres. The trees on site will mostly stay intact, with a short road
and cul de sac located in the same area as the current driveway.
Custom Homes will be designed as the lots are sold. Attached you will see five renderings of previous homes
we’ve designed and built. Those homes will be consistent with what we plan to build, but each home will be a
custom design for our clients. Cedar shake roofs, stamped or paver brick driveways, with natural or
maintenance free siding like Hardie or LP Smartside are planned. There will also be covenants on square
footage, building materials, fencing, etc… to maintain a consistent look in the development.
The entrance will have an understated monument sign to keep with the “rural feel” of the development. An
asphalt private road and cul de sac are planned. When the development is completed a homeowner’s
association will be controlled by the five homeowners.
We believe this development will be an excellent addition to the Orono area and be consistent with the existing
properties on Orono Orchard Road.

Comprehensive Plan Amendment Request
Project Narrative
July 22, 2020
We are requesting a Comprehensive Plan Amendment for the property located at 135 Orono Orchard Road
North in Orono Minnesota. The reason for the request is due to the large area of sensitive wetlands that
surround the site. The property is 39.4 acres with approximately 20 acres of wetlands. The current site is
challenging with steep slopes and wetlands throughout the property. Having access to facilities would also
allow us to be more flexible with home placement to try and retain as much of the rural environment that exists
today. The existing facilities that feed the neighboring developments are within feet this property, so
connecting into to those facilities makes sense both environmentally and economically. Lastly, we are not
requesting more density than allowed by the current RR-1B zoning.

INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND
The Orchard Hills project involves an approximately 39.4-acre parcel located at 135
Orono Orchard Road North (OOR) in the City of Orono, Minnesota. The Subject
Property consists of woodlands, wetlands, and altered non-native grasslands.
LEGAL CONTEXT
A Rural Oasis Study was performed for the City of Orono in 2005. This study identified a
link between the natural systems and the valued scenic character that exists throughout
Orono. Based on the values identified in the Rural Oasis Study, ordinances were created
that are meant to preserve and enhance the ecological and aesthetic character of the
community. Article XII (Conservation Design) Section 78-1632 (Applicability) requires a
conservation design plan for all proposed residential subdivisions or multi-unit residential
developments greater than five acres in total area.
PROPOSED PROJECT
The proposed project involves the redevelopment of the Subject Property to five
residential lots. In order to maintain the natural character of the Subject Property the lots
will range in size from 2.19 to 16.72 acres. Wetlands and trees will be avoided as much
as possible by the redevelopment project. Furthermore, buffers will be provide around all
wetlands.
Ecological and Aesthetic Character Review
RURAL OASIS STUDY
The Subject Property is not adjacent to any of the corridors analyzed as part of the Rural
Oasis Study. Sambatek completed a field review of the Orono Orchard Road segment
near the Subject property on April 16, 2020. The observations from this field review are
summarized below.
Views from Orono Orchard Road (OOR)
Coming from the south on Orono Orchard Road (OOR) the major landmark in the
immediate area is the Luce Line Trail bridge (Pic101). The winding road is not curbed at
this point and feels very bucolic. Curb and gutter begins at the entrance to the Stone
Ridge Colony Development and continues north. Near the project entry, existing nearby
homes on OOR feel close and sometimes front on OOR. Just to the south of project entry
the existing residence has a white picket fence which fits the rural aesthetic (Pic 102).
Mature evergreens at project entry are a nice entry feature and contrast the ‘gray’
deciduous vegetation for six months during the year (Pic107). Power poles which run

along the west side of OOR are not conducive to the wooded feel. At the entry point you
can see an asphalt walk/bike trail that comes from the north and cuts east into the Stone
Ridge Development across OOR. Enclosure moving through the corridor is heavily
wooded on the west side with mostly with open views to east with native plantings.
As one nears the project entry point, the Stone Ridge Colony sign on the east dominates
the intersection as there are no trees close to it in any direction (Pic 89). A native lowland
planting area is the backdrop for the sign with a native planting being established and is
signed accordingly. The monument sign could be used as a ‘landmark’ in giving
directions as it is omnipresent. Across the entry road from the sign, to the South, is a
utility building meant to look residential, it is set behind a berm and is not visually
obtrusive (Pic104).
In general, the views from Orono Orchard Road appear to be positive.
Views from Luce Line Trail
Walking down the Luce Line Trail corridor one is elevated above the vegetation to the
north and south. Looking east there are pockets of evergreens near the bridge (Pic 091). It
is dense and made up of mixed deciduous hard and softwood around a wetland, creek
area. Nature predominates as homes are ghosted by the leafless vegetation. Once spring
growth emerges the homes will disappear (Pic 097).
In general, it appears that the views from Luce Line Trail are positive.
NATURAL RESOUCES INVENTORY
Minnesota Land Cover Classification System (MLCCS) Data
The Minnesota Land Cover Classification map indicates that the site consists of emergent
and wooded wetland, upland forest, and upland grassland habitats as well as areas of
11-25% impervious cover and 76-100% impervious cover. The M-34X modifiers indicate
that the majority of the site rated C (moderate condition natural community) or lower. A
M-34X modifier has not been assigned for approximately 1/3 of the site, most of which
consists of an emergent wetland habitat. Based on observations made during a 2016 field
visit, which was part of the wetland delineation process, this area appears to be
dominated by non-native species such as Reed Canary Grass, Hybrid Cattail, and Smooth
Brome. The M-34X modifier for this unassigned area is likely a D (poor condition). The
proposed project is unlikely to affect the M-34X modifiers within the Subject Property.

Tree Survey
A tree survey was completed as part of the planning process for the Orchard Hills project.
All significant trees were identified to species, size, and location. The site consists of
mainly Green Ash, Box Elder, and Red Oak. Please see the attached figure that shows the
tree species present and diameters.
Wetland Delineation
A wetland delineation of the Subject Property was completed in September 2016. The
wetland delineation identified three wetlands on the Subject Property. The Wetlands are
identified as Wetlands 1-3 on a Wetland Delineation Report dated September 28, 2016.
Wetland 1 is a large Type 3, Shallow Marsh wetland that rings the west and south
property boundaries. Wetlands 2 and 3 are small, Type 1, Seasonally Flooded wetlands.
The wetland boundaries were reviewed by Minnehaha Creek Watershed District during a
TEP meeting on October 25th, 2016. Several revisions were made to the boundary of
Wetland 1 and Long Lake Creek was added to the report. Please see the attached Notice
of Decision for the approved wetland boundaries.
Topographic Survey
A topographic survey of the site was completed by Sambatek. The topographic survey
shows that the property consists of a hill that extends through the property to the
southwest. The existing driveway and residence are situated on the top of the hill. The
hill slopes down to the wetland along the south and west property boundaries.
Conceptual Greenways and Open Space Corridors
The Conceptual Greenway Corridor map from the 2008-2030 City of Orono Community
Management Plan identifies the Subject Property as part of the “conceptual greenway
corridor”. Based on the Hennepin County Natural Resource Inventory map, the Subject
Property contains a small portion of moderate quality Oak Forest habitat located in the
southeast corner. This area is not proposed to be impacted by the residential
redevelopment, and additional protection is not necessary.

Existence of Rare Plant Communities
No rare plant communities were observed on the site and are not identified on the
Hennepin County Natural Resource Inventory map. Most of the communities on the site
are dominated by invasive species such as Reed Canary Grass, Common Buckthorn,
Canada Thistle, and Garlic Mustard. Due to the low quality of these areas, no special
protection of these areas is necessary.
Conservation Design Master Plan
STORMWATER MASTER PLAN
The existing topography of the site directs surface water towards the Long Lake Creek
along the north property boundary and towards the large wetland along the south and
west property boundaries. These drainage patterns will be maintained after the
redevelopment of the site and run off from impervious surfaces will be treated prior to
discharge to the Long Lake Creek or the wetland.
INVASIVE SPECIES REMOVAL AND MANAGEMENT PLANS
Common Buckthorn, Reed Canary Grass, Garlic Mustard, Canada Thistle, and Smooth
Brome were reviewed throughout the Subject Property during the wetland delineation
field work activities. Garlic Mustard, Canada Thistle, and Smooth Brome are scattered
throughout the upland areas and Sambatek does not recommend that these are removed.
Common Buckthorn and Reed Canary Grass are primarily located within the wetland
areas and within areas that will be the wetland buffer. Common Buckthorn and Reed
Canary Grass will be removed as part of the landscape plan.
Common Buckthorn can be removed via several different methods. Based on the size and
amount of Common Buckthorn on the Subject Property, Sambatek recommends using the
cut stump treatment method for treating Common Buckthorn. This method involves
cutting the stems at ground level and treating the stems. This is most effective when
completed in late summer and fall. The stems should be treated throughout fall and
winter. Recommended herbicides include glyphosate, triclopyr amine, and triclopyr ester
(Minnesota DNR).
Reed Canary Grass can be controlled through mechanical or chemical methods. To
control Reed Canary Grass through mechanical methods, mow between mid-June and
October to reduce seed production. When cut during the growing season, Reed Canary
Grass will have a second growth spurt in the fall so multiple mowing are necessary
(Minnesota DNR). If choosing chemical methods for Reed Canary Grass, glyphosate can
be used for effective control. If treatment occurs in or near wet areas an herbicide
formulation approved for water use is required.

TREE REMOVAL AND PROTECTION PLAN
Significant tree impacts will be reduced as much as possible during the design process.
Any significant trees that are removed will be replaced as part of the tree preservation
plan.
ECOLOGICAL COMMUNITIES DISCUSSION
The goal of the Orchard Hills residential redevelopment project is to create a residential
development that maintains the picturesque and “rural fee” of Orono. During the
redevelopment process much of the natural communities on the Subject Property will be
maintained. The proposed roadway and cul-de-sac will follow the current driveway
alignment to avoid impacts to the natural areas. Houses will be constructed in upland
areas and will try to avoid any stands of significant trees. The natural corridors that are
located along the project boundaries will be maintained.
Based on the MCCLS map, the majority of the habitats on the Subject Property are poor
condition. The proposed project will not lower the quality of these habitats.
VIEW OF THE PROPERTY
The mature evergreens at the project entry will be maintained as much as possible to
sustain the positive viewshed along OOR. The evergreens will screen the residential
development from OOR to maintain the secluded feel.
The trees and vegetation along the south property boundary, which borders Luce Line
Trail will be maintained. This will maintain the positive views for recreationalists
utilizing the trail.
LANDMARK PRESERVATION PLAN
No landmarks exist on the Subject Property.

RE: Preliminary Plat Application
Response to Comments
Dear Jeremy,
We have reviewed the City Comments dated April 28, 2020 for the Preliminary Plat Application for 135
Orono Orchard Road and have made revisions to the plans accordingly. A summary of the revisions
follows:
Application Requirements:
1. A copy of the preliminary plat. A drawing showing the proposed lot boundaries, easements, etc.
Response: Submitted
2. An onsite sewage report for each proposed lot.
Response: The onsite sewage report is in process.
3. Minnehaha Creek Watershed approval or documentation. An email verifying submittal of the
plan to the District will suffice to keep the project moving.
Response: The stormwater management plan and plans have been submitted to the MCWD for
review. See attached email.
General Comments:
1. Please confirm with the County that the plat name is acceptable. There is a plat called Orchard
Hills in Orono.
Response: We are checking in with the county and will adjust accordingly for final plat
2. I have forwarded your plans to the City engineer for their review. I will share their comments
once received.
Response: Understood
Page 2
3. On the site plan, sheet C3.01, please show setbacks to property lines, in addition to the
wetlands and the tributary.
Response: The property line setbacks have been added to the plans.
4. Please provide a document that confirms dry buildable area on all lots.
Response: An exhibit has been provided for your use.
5. There was some discussion at the sketch plan level that an outlot would be added for a
monument sign off of Lot 1, to eliminate the second frontage for that lot. This outlot isn’t
shown.
Response: Further discussion of the sign location is required.
6. I note the narrative suggests a monument sign. Please provide a detail (material, height, width,
etc.) and note that this sign may not be located within 75 feet of the tributary.
Response: Please see attached sign detail provided by the developer.
7. Please provide MCWD support for the plan, include wetland setbacks/ buffers, stormwater
management
Response: There has been correspondence with MCWD and the plan has been submitted for
their review. We will incorporate any of their comments into the plan when they are available.
We have included corresponding emails and the wetland delineation info that we have.
8. There was discussion at the sketch plan that the easement running through Lot 3 and limiting
the buildability for this lot may be vacated. Please address. As shown, the two septic sites
impede the buildability of the lot, one septic location is within the ghosted in foot print of the
building.
Response: Proposed lot 3 and 4 have been combined, therefore the easement does not to be
relocated. Please refer to sheet C3.01.
9. Sheet C3.01 shows a small building encroaching over the property line into lot 1. How is this to
be handled?
Response: The small structure that encroaches over the property line is the adjacent owners fire
pit patio. The neighbor will need to relocate the patio onto their property.
10. On that same sheet, where setbacks are listed, please also include the Lake/ Tributary setback of
100 feet for structures, per Section 78-1279.
Response: The 100 foot setback for structures is shown and labeled.
11. On sheet C4.02, the driveway grade for lot 2 is very steep, over 28%. This should be adjusted.
Response: The driveways will be designed and built with the future home construction. A note
has been added to the plans indicating possible driveway grades, with the intent that no
driveway will be steeper than 10%.
Page 3
12. On that same sheet, the access for lot 1 is shown through the infiltration basin.
Response: The driveway has been relocated to avoid the infiltration basin.
13. On Sheet C5.02, the erosion control plans are prepared to address erosion control during
construction. Has a plan been prepared for demolition activity?
Response: Erosion control measures have been added to the phase 1 erosion control plan to
address the demolition phase of the project.
14. Please provide a document that better illustrates the removed trees.
Response: Please refer to sheet L3.01 for planned tree removals.
Please let us know if you have any additional questions or comments at 763-476-6010.

Engineering Review #2
Dear Jeremy:
As requested, I have completed an engineering review of the documents submitted for the above
referenced project. We offer the following observations, comments, and recommendations for your
consideration:
1. An infiltration basin is proposed for stormwater runoff management to meet regulatory
requirements. The following must be considered regarding stormwater management:
a. Per City requirements, the proposed stormwater management system must limit proposed
peak runoff rates to that of existing for the 1, 10, and 100 year – 24h hour events. In
addition, per NPDES MS4 requirements, the system must limit proposed discharges of
runoff volume, Total Suspended Solids, and Phosphorus on an annual average basis to that
of existing conditions as well.
b. Proposed plans only include stormwater management facilities necessary to meet
governmental requirements for street improvements. No facilities are indicated for
potential lot improvements, so it is assumed the determination of location, type, and design
of management facilities for each lot would be the responsibility of the lot owner. When
done piece-meal, coordination of required stormwater management facilities is difficult,
and facilities required may be forgotten during future construction. Therefore, facilities
necessary for the ultimate development (street construction, driveways, buildings, etc.)
should be installed and the site mass-graded at the same time as street construction to
ensure all drainage ways, watersheds, and runoff management systems are constructed per
the approved Stormwater Management Plan.
c. Based on field inspection and a shovel test in location of proposed basin, site soils are
likely not conducive for infiltration. A soil boring or infiltration test in the location of the
proposed basin must be provided to confirm infiltration is possible. If infiltration is not
possible due to site soils, volume control will not be required per NPDES requirements, but
a retention pond or filtration system will be necessary to treat the water quality volume and
provide pollutant control.
d. The outlet pipe from the basin must be directed at a 45 degree angle to the creek to limit
erosion potential in the opposite bank.
e. A stormwater management plan outlining how the proposed improvements will meet all
requirements must be submitted for review prior to Preliminary Plat approval to ensure
adequate siting is available for required facilities.
Preliminary Plat Application
Orchard Hill
Page 2
H:\ORNO\C13120357\z_Orchard Hills\OrchardHills_PrePlatReview_2020-08-03.docx
f. The site is adjacent to Long Lake Creek. The Comprehensive Long Lake Creek Feasibility
Study identified 4 separate locations along this site with bank erosion requiring
stabilization ($55,000 estimated potential improvements) and 2 wetlands for potential
restoration ($1,150,000 estimated potential improvements). These projects would reduce
the pollutant discharge downstream and help meet TMDL goals for Tanager Lake.
Therefore, the City should consider potential improvements that can be completed in
conjunction with development improvements accordingly. At a minimum, access should
be provided for potential future improvements. In addition, Minnehaha Creek Watershed
District (MCWD) should be engaged with discussion regarding a potential partnership to
fund and construct improvements identified in the study.
2. Final Plans should include the following:
a. Grading, Drainage, and Erosion Control Plan
b. Street Construction Plan
c. Landscape and Restoration Plan (including invasive species removal)
d. SWPPP meeting NPDES requirements
3. The applicant will be required to obtain Minnehaha Creek Watershed District (MCWD)
approval and permitting. A copy of any approvals or permits required should be submitted
prior to Final Plat approval.
4. The applicant will be required to obtain a General Construction Permit (NPDES) to discharge
stormwater associated with construction activity since more than 1 acre will be disturbed. A
copy of the permit should be submitted prior to any land disturbing activity.
5. The applicant will be required to submit a Maintenance Agreement for all stormwater
management structures and facilities. The agreement must define maintenance responsibilities
following completion of project, specify types and frequencies of inspection and maintenance
activities, designate who will conduct inspection and maintenance activities, and outline
reporting requirements.
6. Drainage and Utility Easements msut be provided as follows:
a. Over all stormwater management facilities used to meet regulatory requirements.
b. Over all wetland and buffers.
c. All swales and piping providing drainage for multiple properties.
d. 5’ along all side lot lines, unless adjacent to Development boundary.
e. 10’ along all front lot lines, rear lot lines, and adjacent to Development boundary.
7. Well locations must be indicated on the site plan to confirm adequate separation distance to
septic facilities.

Subject: Orono Orchard Hills- Follow Up
Bob,
Good morning and Happy Friday!
This email is in regards to the Orono Orchard Hills development— that permit was assigned to me
back in May and it currently has an incomplete status with the District as they submitted a not fully
formed Stormwater Management plan for the entirety of the development. Below is an email that I
sent them, in addition to the Incomplete Letter, summarizing. The the District’s comments to
provide you with some context. I also spoke with Josh from Sambatec on the phone.
I haven’t received any updated submittals from them since, however I have saved your flagged
comments to the permit file. Please let me know if you would like any further clarification.
Thanks and have a great weekend,
Good afternoon! This is a follow up to the incomplete letter for MCWD Permit 20-190, Orchard Hill
of Orono Subdivision. I spoke with Josh this afternoon on the phone regarding how the District
reviews and permits stormwater custom build subdivisions. This information wasn’t included in the
incomplete letter as it is simply a further explanation for the review process of this permit.
For stormwater, MCWD issues one overall permit for the entirety of the subdivision- we do not issue
stormwater permits for individual lots. This comes from our language in Section 2 that outlines
subdivision of land as requiring stormwater management as well as Section 2(a) of the rule that
exempts the construction or re-construction of a single family home.
Logistically, this means that one permit will be reviewed and issued (permit 20-190) for the
subdivision’s stormwater management plan, wetland protection, and erosion control for any mass
grading that may occur on site. As lots are sold and built, subsequent permits will be issued for the
erosion control necessary for the construction of each home.
This means that the District will review and hold the subdivision to a certain max amount of
impervious that cannot be exceeded as each of the four lots are built out, as the stormwater BMPs
will be sized to treat this amount and then reviewed and approved based on this amount. The
District will cross-reference how much of the subdivision’s impervious is being ‘removed’ from the
total amount reviewed and approved under 20-190, to ensure that the BMPs are still sized
appropriately. However we will not review individual stormwater management plans for each lot.
In the most recent stormwater management plan submitted on May 11th, rough calculations for
each lot were provided as seen below--
I spoke with Josh about these amounts over the phone and if these are the impervious amounts that
the subdivision would like to be held to, or if BMPs want to be built slightly larger to accommodate
greater impervious areas.
In addition, the submitted stormwater management plan will need to be expanded on to show the
rate, volume, and phosphorous calculations for each of the BMPs that will treat impervious
associated with the lots as the current submittal only shows calculations for the impervious
associated with the cul-de-sac.

CMP Part 4B. Sanitary Sewer Plan
City of Orono Community Management Plan 2020-2040 Part 4B, Page 13
4. Orono will provide municipal sewer extensions to lakeshore areas and non-lakeshore areas
within the MUSA when it is determined that municipal sewer is preferable to long-term use of
on-site sewage treatment systems.
5. The costs of extending municipal sewer to existing neighborhoods will be borne primarily by
the property owners being served.
6. The costs of extending municipal sewer to serve new residential and nonresidential
development will be borne entirely by the developer.
FUTURE SANITARY SEWER SYSTEM
Orono’s Plan for future sewer facilities includes upgrades to certain existing local sewer facilities,
expansions of the system to service properties currently in the MUSA, and retrofitting a small number of
existing neighborhoods with municipal sewer service. These system improvements and expansions are
not expected to require additional capacity allocation in metropolitan sewer facilities.
MUSA Expansion
The city proposes a minor expansion of the MUSA within the time period covered by this plan.
This addition is shown on Map 4B-2 as area 51. Future demands on the sanity sewer system will
come as areas within the existing MUSA develop. While the City has no staged development plan,
and currently has not scheduled projects outside the existing MUSA, any future MUSA expansions
will be considered within the context of the following guidelines:
The city will use the priorities outlined in Table 4B-12 to assess whether or not to request a MUSA
expansion from the Metropolitan Council.
Table 4B-12: MUSA Expansion Priorities
Priority 1 Properties that abut the shoreline of Lake Minnetonka and all other Orono lakes
Priority 2
Properties that abut City-protected tributaries, and all other properties within the
Shoreland Overlay District
Priority 3
Existing substandard developed lots not covered by Priorities 1 and 2 and developed
prior to 1985 that have failing septic systems abd do not have an alternative site available
to replace said system.
Priority 4 New development using clustering that permanently preserves blocks of open space.
Priority 5
Conforming developed lots not covered by Priorities 1 and 2 and developed prior to 1985
that have failing septic systems and do not have an alternative site available to replace
said system.
Priority 6 New or existing development not covered by priorities 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5.
CMP Part 4B. Sanitary Sewer Plan
City of Orono Community Management Plan 2020-2040 Part 4B, Page 14
Conditions
Expansion of the MUSA on the established prioritized basis noted above will occur only when one
of the following conditions is found:
1. When an area of existing homes has failing or non-conforming septic systems and
replacement drain field sites are not available for a significant share of the existing homes.
2. When an individual home has a failing or non-conforming septic system, does not have an
alternate drain field site, is adjacent to existing sewer lines, and is not part of a
neighborhood that could be better served by a neighborhood sewer lateral project.
3. When a new or existing residential development meeting all required development
standards is adjacent to existing sewer lines and the developer or homeowners agree to bear
all costs of extending municipal sewer to the development, but only when inclusion of such
development in the MUSA will not result in a decrease in the City’s sewered density as
calculated by the Metropolitan Council.
Future Sanitary Sewer Improvements
The City’s focus on future sanitary sewer needs will be on a limited number of extensions to
service new developments within the existing urban area/ MUSA and maintenance to include I&I
mitigation of the existing system.
Future Sewer Expansion Projects

AGENDA ITEM
Prepared By: J. Barnhart Reviewed By: DJR Approved By: DJR
1. Purpose. To adopt the resolution and findings based on Council’s December 10th action.
2. MN§462.358 Sub 3b. Application Deadline. The application was received on July 22, 2020
and considered to be complete on that date. The 120-Day review period will expire on November
19, 2020.
3. Background. The City Council reviewed this project as a sketch plan (LA20-14) on March 16,
2020. This property was previously the subject of a subdivision in 2016, Tanager Estates.
The proposal is consistent with the sketch plan:
7 single family lots, all conforming to the lot area and width requirements*. A new private road
extending off of Shoreline Drive will terminate in a conforming cul de sac. All lots will be
served by municipal sanitary sewer. The Planning Commission report, Exhibit D provides
additional analysis.
The following points should be noted by the City Council.
*Lake Lots. Lots 1-3 are not currently lake lots, but will be once they are combined with the
adjacent outlot on the south side of Shoreline, as proposed by the applicant. County rules prohibit
showing the lot through the right of way on the plat, but would allow the parcels to be combined
after the plat is recorded. Until they are combined, lots 2 and 3 do not meet the width
requirement, measured at the front building setback line. Staff recommends that no permit be
issued on lots 1-3 until they are combined with the adjacent outlots.
Average Lake Shore (ALS). There was a fair amount of discussion regarding the average lake
shore setback. As with most infill subdivision along the lakeshore, without knowing the timing
of individual lot construction, and to preserve building sites, it is appropriate to consider
“manufacturing” an Average Lakeshore Setback line for the initial construction.
The ALS line for Tanager (Line B on the attached Exhibit H) is established by the principal
structure at 1100 Millstone, and the approved house pad for lot 3, Tanager Estates. Without this
manufactured ALS, a house on lot 6 built before lot 3 Tanager Estates would need to be setback
423 feet, lot 6 is 380 feet deep.
The current, predevelopment ALS for Smith Bay is shown as line A on Exhibit H as is
established by the existing neighboring homes:
West 1760 Shoreline Dr. setback 982 feet from the lake
East 1125 Millston Rd. setback 442 feet from the lake
The proposed ALS for lots 1-3 is shown as line C. Without the adjustment, lot 3 is not buildable
ever, and lot 2 is likely not buildable, though the order of construction may influence potential
building sites.

Stormwater Management. The developer and staff continue to work on the final, approvable
stormwater management plan. The final plan may be different that as shown in the plans attached
as Exhibit C.
4. Planning Commission Vote and Comment. On August 17, 2020, the Planning Commission
held a public hearing. Following the public hearing, the Planning Commission voted 6-0 on a
motion to approve the plat as proposed.
The members of the Commission were in agreement that the subdivision was appropriate and
conforming to the subdivision regulations.
5. Public Comment. Several verbal comments were received during the public hearing:
Kurt Woodhouse requested information on docks, and the tree preservation along the west
property line. At this time, the lake lots (1-3, 6) would each have 1 dock. The engineer noted
that the west property line trees are planned to be saved.
Barbara Burwell questioned the impact to the steep bluff, and average lake shore setback. No
grading or tree removal is planned in the slope down from the homes at this point, and average
lake shore setback is proposed for lot six based on the neighboring parcels. She also asked about
serving the subdivision with city water. There are no plans to serve the subdivision with
municipal water.
Michael Kulhman questioned burying the power lines. Power lines and utilities within the
subdivision will be buried, but the line along Shoreline will not.
6. Staff Recommendation. Staff recommends the Council adopt the resolution approving the
preliminary plat for Shoreline Estates.

Subject: #LA20-48, Timothy Whitten, Whitten Associates o/b/o I Jacobs/A Jacobs
Revocable Trust, 1700 Shoreline Drive,
Preliminary Plat
Background
The sketch plan for this project was reviewed by the Planning Commission on March 16, 2020 as
LA20-000014. The subject property was subdivided in 2016, when the subject parcel and three
lots with Tanager Lake frontage with access off of an extension of Heritage Lane were created.
Proposal
This application subdivides the 20.14 acres into 7 buildable lots and 5 outlots. All buildable lots
will be served by municipal sewer and individual wells. The property currently includes one
principal structure and several accessory buildings, including a guest house, a well house, and a
guard house. It is understood that these structures will be removed.
The parcel has frontage on both Tanager Lake (to the north) and Smith Bay (to the south, across
Shoreline Drive). The site includes a large wetland on the south third of the lot, and a smaller
wetland on the north side of the lot. The northern third of the lot, in addition to the wetland,
includes steep slopes and well established vegetation. The middle third of the lot is dominated by
grass lawn with sporadic trees.
The project includes the extension of a private road that terminates in a cul de sac. The cul de sac
bulb and the right of way appear to conform to city standards, though the length of the cul de sac
exceeds the code limit of 1,000 feet. Access to the site is proposed via Shoreline Drive, in the
location of the existing driveway. The presence of the large wetland limits alternative locations
for a road. Hennepin County is suggesting turn lanes off of Shoreline.
The property is in the Municipal Urban Service Area (MUSA) and eligible to be connected to
sanitary sewer. The developer proposes serving all lots with municipal sanitary sewer via an
extension of the main off of Heritage Lane.
Analysis
Lot area and width. The lots appear to meet the minimum standards for lot area and width:
Application Summary: The applicant requests approval of a preliminary plat for a 7 lot single
family residential development on the 20.14 acre property at 1700 Shoreline Drive.
Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends approval, subject to the conditions outlined below.

*Lots 1, 2, and 3 are not shown with frontage on Lake Minnetonka, but due to County platting
rules, outlots A, B, and C will be combined with the adjacent building lot after platting,
establishing frontage. Measurements are based on this combination.
The developer has not provided anticipated house design, though house pads have been
anticipated. It is expected that each home would be individually designed to accommodate its
particular lot.
Conservation design. A conservation design plan has been prepared, and is attached as Exhibit K.
This plan supplements the original conservation design plan prepared for the Tanager Estates
Plat, Exhibit L.
The grading plan (Exhibit C) also shows proposed tree removal due to grading, utility, or home
construction. This should not be considered as the final tree removal plan, but was requested to
get a sense of tree removal impacts based on information known at the time.
Most of the environmentally sensitive areas of the property are located on the north side of the
parcel. The bluff and heavy Shoreland vegetation in this area are proposed to be maintained. It
should be noted that shoreland and bluff regulations, including additional setbacks and
restrictions will apply in these areas, further protecting these areas.
The objectives of the Conservation design process are:
(1) Protection and enhancement of drainage-ways and water quality; The project will
conform to water protection regulations and policies.
(2) Protection and enhancement of ecological communities; The large wetland and the
sensitive bluffs will be preserved.
(3) Reinforcement and establishment of ecological connections throughout the city; The
development is based on Orono’s rural development principals.
(4) Augmentation and preservation of view sheds including corridor enclosure and
buffering; The site is not a designated view corridor. The addition of the homes is
not likely to negatively impact the views into the area.
(5) Preservation and improvement of views; and The location of the homes and the plat
improvements are not expected to negatively impact the view into or out of the
property.
(6) Preservation or reinterpretation of local landmarks. None have been identified
The design plan comments on the control of invasive species, including Buckthorn, Reed Canary
Grass and Garlic Mustard.

Average Lake shore setback (ALS). The subject property has frontage on two lakes, with
extreme setbacks on adjacent lots, drastically impacting the ALS for the new lots.
The average setback for the proposed lot 6 is shown on the plat, and is influenced by lot 3 of
Tanager Estates (currently unbuilt) and 1100 Millston Road. Since this line is predicated on the
building pad site for lot 3, Tanager Estates, It is suggested that the ALS for the initial construction
of lot 6 be established by resolution, at the time of final plat. Without using Lot 3, Tanager
Estates, the setback between the lake and the principal structure at 1100 Millston Rd (appx 400
feet) would establish the ALS for lot 6, effectively making Lot 6 unbuildable without variances.
The current Smith Bay ALS for the property is illustrated on Exhibit J. The building pads for lots
1, 2, and 3 will be lake ward of this existing line. Further, if lot 3 is built before lot 2, the ALS
setback would be based on the distance between the house at 1760 Shoreline and the lake,
approximately 971 feet, making lot 3 unbuildable without a variance. Staff suggests establishing
the ALS for the initial structure by resolution at the time of final plat, based on the generic house
pad location found on the preliminary plat.
Stormwater Quality Overlay District prescribes stormwater quality standards, a maximum amount
of hardcover on a given lot. The subject parcel is in Tier 1, due to its proximity to Tanager and
Lake Minnetonka. Upon subdivision, each lot will be assigned a Tier. These assignments have
not been completed. It is anticipated that lots 1 - 6 will be Tier 1 (25%) and lot 7 may be Tier 2
(30%). Tier assignments will be made as part of the final plat.
All lots proposed are greater than 2.0 acres and are exempt from the structural coverage
limitation.
Parks. The plan does not include any park area. Park dedication will be satisfied by a cash donation
for the 6 new lots.
Landscaping. The applicant has not yet provided a landscaping plan. The subdivision code does
require one shade tree per 40 feet of right of way. Staff recommends the trees be planted in clumps,
a more natural effect rather than the traditional linear pattern found in suburban subdivisions.
Fees. The following fees are anticipated for this proposed subdivision, to be due at the time of
Final Plat approval, subject to the fee schedule applicable at that time.

Staff presented a summary packet of information. Barnhart added three conditions suggested by Staff
with approval subject to those: 1) Watershed District Approval 2) Hennepin County Approval for the
driveway 3) Engineering comments.
Ressler noted the average lakeshore setback was something he didn’t think about, and said obviously this
is unique in that they’re on both sides. When they’re talking about multiple sites, in looking at them
individually, Site No. 3 and part of Site No. 2 would by definition be lake-ward of that setback and asked
if that was correct.
Barnhart answered that based on the line currently, Lots 2 and 3 for certain are in front of that average
lakeshore setback as based on the current homes on either side.
Ressler asked if this was different because it’s an entire development, rather than a typical application
where it’s an individual property and the Commission has typically drawn a hard line on lakeshore
setback precedents. He asked if this would expose the Commission on any sort of precedents going
forward.
Barnhart said regarding most of the subdivisions adjacent to the lake, there is a prescribed average
lakeshore setback line because they don’t know when projects are going to be built. He noted if Lot 3
was the last lot to be built on, they may not have an issue because it would be based on where Lot 2 is,
but again he stated they don’t know that timing and it greatly impacts what is marketable in terms of what
pad can a buyer look at. He said it’s not uncommon for them to do it at the time of a subdivision, as that
is how it was done for 690 Brown Road and for a project on Mooney Lake. He said they may set a
precedent but the process has already been established earlier. His suggestion is that this would only
apply to the initial construction. For example, Lot 3 builds a home in 2021 and they add on to it in 2050,
he doesn’t want to come back to find this resolution, what was the average lakeshore setback at the time.
McCutcheon asked what the main motivation is for not using Heritage Lane.
Barnhart answered that the County would prefer that all access not use County Roads, so by shifting the
traffic on Heritage Lane there is no new intersection on Shoreline and from that perspective the County
thinks that is advantageous. During the sketch plan, the Planning Commission and the City Council heard
pretty clearly that it was not a desirable option.
Ressler asked as it’s applied right now, will Heritage Lane be the primary access for this construction.
Barnhart answered no, access is proposed via Shoreline, there will be no vehicular connection between
this portion of the project in Heritage Lane. He said there will be a sanitary sewer main from Heritage
Lane that routes through the subdivision, but no vehicular connection.

Ressler invited the Applicant to the podium.
Mr. Tim Whitten of Whitten and Associates development consultants and architects, said he is here with
Mark Gronberg, Civil Engineering. From the very beginning working with Staff, they have represented
the Jacobs Family Trust, noting they really wanted to develop something that fit the City ordinances and
they’ve been working on that all the way through concept and design and that brings them all the way to
today.
Chair Ressler opened the public hearing at 8:21 p.m.
Mr. Kurt Woodhouse, 1800 Shoreline Drive, asked the Applicant what the boat dock situation will be and
also on the West side which is now heavily wooded, he is concerned about preservation of trees along the
West property line.
Mr. Whitten answered regarding the docks, his belief is that there will be individual docks but that will be
left up to the property owners who eventually build there, noting if they collectively get together and
decide to do one dock that is up to them. He said perhaps Mr. Gronberg could speak about the tree
survey.
Mr. Mark Gronberg, 110 Leaf Street, said according to the grading plan on Lot 3 on the Southwest corner,
the grading comes short of the 30 foot setback line on the side. On Lot 4 the grading is quite a bit to the
East of that West line, noting the intention is to save all of the trees along there.
Barbara Burwell, 1100 Millston Road, said she is interested from the standpoint of her family’s future and
building on their lots for their sons, noting on Lot 6, she is concerned about the very steep bluff and how
that would impact the lakeshore setback. She said she also owns property on Green Trees Road which is
another area they are looking at building. She asked if that is based on the main house at 1100 Millston
Road or 1125 Millston Road or the additional lots. Ms. Burwell said without having anything in mind at
this moment, she would like to understand the future and how it would impact her future plans, noting the
plotting is very critical to her. She said that is just a comment, she doesn’t think anyone can really answer
that but she thinks Lot 6 and Lot 3 drive the future of the Green Trees property. She noted some current
buildings on a map, including a caretaker’s house and asked how that would impact her as in the future
the hope is that would be changed into a larger home.
Ressler said Mr. Barnhart stated earlier when they’re doing a subdivision they establish what that average
setback is going to be, assuming that the subdivision can meet the guidelines of minimum acreage,
widths, etcetera.
Barnhart stated the average lakeshore setback is a question that is very difficult to answer because there
are so many moving parts. What he tries to do with a subdivision is to identify the average lakeshore
setback for the lots within the subdivision. He noted an area on the map where Lot 6 would
approximately be, and noted on the plat they identified the house pad for Lot 3 of Tanager Estates and
identified the principal structure for this lot, which is the neighboring lakeshore lot. They drew a line
there and wanted to make sure they had house pads that would fit within the setbacks and within the
imaginary average lakeshore setback. He stated how that would impact Ms. Burwell’s property is, the
average lakeshore setback for this lot will be based on where the next-door lake lot would be, in this case
would be Lot 6 and the lake lot to the East, which is the vacant lot. If both lots are vacant, for example, if
this subdivision happened and then one month later, she chose to redevelop her property, the setback

would be based on the distance of this principal structure from the home which happens to be vacant, or
Lot 6, which happens to be vacant, so they wouldn’t really have an average lakeshore setback.
Ms. Burwell noted she owns 1075 Millston Road as well which is a little structure that is a house.
Mr. Barnhart stated they only care about the principal structure for determining the average lakeshore
setback, noting that the distance he previously mentioned would be the average lakeshore setback without
any other imaginary configuration and that would be the distance for Lot 6.
Ms. Burwell said she is confused because they are all individual and separate.
Mr. Barnhart said they are all separate and regardless that she owns several of the lots, it doesn’t matter.
He said he’d be happy to visit with her and go through the details.
Ms. Burwell said she just wants to understand from a big future picture, she doesn’t want to belabor it but
it is important to her. Her second question in regards to Millston Road is that it is a constant pullover area
for all kinds of vehicles and making a left hand turn into her driveway is very difficult. She noted
numerous occasions where people have run into that ribbon fence, as it’s not a very friendly road and it’s
difficult. She asked what the County is saying about the traffic pattern going into that road, noting it’s a
dangerous turn.
Barnhart said the County provided some comment and at this stage, he will have to check, but originally
the County proposed turn lanes for both approaches and they have since retracted one of those and
currently are looking for a turn lane for only one of those approaches, he does not recall which one. He
noted that is the only proposal from a County perspective.
Ressler made an observation that the Commission is reviewing text all the time, earlier they talked about
motorcycles versus automobiles and whether they are the same and lakeshore setback is similar. He said
a few months ago they had a deliberation on how they were going to define lakeshore setback, and for
good or for bad it may change by the time they get to that point of development. He stated Mr. Barnhart
and Staff are good people to bounce ideas off of to find out what fits and they’ve been very helpful.
Michael Kuhlman, 1760 Shoreline Drive, asked the developer if there’s been any consideration regarding
the power lines that run and where the utilities will be accessed from for the new structure.
Mr. Gronberg answered they usually don’t get involved with the small utilities until they are farther along
in the process and he noted they most likely run underground up into the subdivision, but he doubts that
they’d want to bury utilities out on Shoreline Drive.
Ressler noted it sounds like it’s still undecided.
Mr. Gronberg answered yes, they would know more this winter when the process is farther along.
Mr. Kuhlman followed up and asked if they’re going to tear up the road to do the new approaches, would
there be any consideration to bury the power lines that are there to support the property.
Ressler said it sounds like they are inconclusive regarding the part that runs along County Road 15 but
noted they appreciate Mr. Kuhlman’s feedback and that could be a discussion when they get further into

the project. He stated any time power lines can be buried it eliminates power outages and he thinks
anybody in Orono would also appreciate that.
Ms. Burwell said she was having a conversation with the City Engineer after the horrible fire on Lake
Minnetonka on the Davis property. She said she’s lived there for over thirty years and she wondered
where her fire hydrant is, noting that the closest water station is the Minnetonka Beach Water Tower, and
she asked if there were considerations in any of the new developments or houses within Orono for fire
protection. She noted she’s okay with the lake in the summer but it’s not very good in the wintertime.
Barnhart answered that they are not proposing to put new City water through this subdivision, all of the
lots would be served by wells, so there is not a proposal for fire hydrants at this time.
Ms. Burwell stated she’s asking the question not just on the Jacobs property, but also on her property in
Green Trees and how Orono as a City services the problems of fire, noting the Fire Department was
having problems getting the fire out on Lake Minnetonka. She noted it is a different question than what
they’re talking about regarding the proposal but she’s adding the fire question regarding her own
property, the Jacobs, Green Trees and surrounding areas.
Ressler noted Barnhart could probably answer more to that as he’s more knowledgeable of that fire in
Wayzata that was a big mess and a big disaster and it would be good to have fire hydrants whenever you
can. However, he thinks those are usually tapped in when there is City water. To answer Ms. Burwell’s
question on how it relates to her, if she were going to do a subdivision of her property --
Ms. Burwell said she’s not asking from a subdivision standpoint, she’s just asking as a homeowner,
noting she was unaware until recently that when Southways was taken down, there was a cauldron of
water for fire protection, and she doesn’t have that. She stated it’s an entirely different subject but she’s
bringing it up as the City is building new homes.
Ressler said just like City sewer and City hook-ups, all those things have costs, and he would assume that
the homeowners can elect to tap into City water and pay to have a fire hydrant installed and asked
Barnhart if that is correct.
Barnhart answered yes, he thinks Ms. Burrell’s question is a larger one in terms of what service the City
provides, noting there are pages of information on the decisions that have been made over time. He said
it’s probably best for him to defer that to the City Engineer and the City Council, because it is a policy
question for the Council and the City Engineer will say you can do whatever you want as long as you’re
willing to pay for it. At this stage, Barnhart’s understanding is the City has provided water to certain
areas of the community, not the entire community.
Ms. Burwell again said she says it as a citizen and there is certainly a need and as a homeowner,
especially if you’re building from the ground up, to be brought aware of what the City will do for fire.
Up until now she hasn’t given it a single thought because they have a great Fire Department and said she
has met with the Fire Department.
Ressler noted it was a good question and the Commission sometimes talks about how the fire trucks turn
around in cul-de-sacs, but sometimes it gets lost just relying on code about how to get the water to the fire
trucks.

Chair Ressler closed the public hearing at 8:40 p.m.
Gettman said he has no additional issues; the Applicant has been working with the City for a while now
and this seems to be the only way to develop this particular area.
Bollis stated he agrees with Staff and they’ve been pretty thorough in working with this developer and
making sure it’s the right fit for this piece of property.
Kirchner said in full disclosure, he lives at 1090 Heritage Lane, but his property does not abut to this
property. He agrees with the comments and the Staff’s recommendation on this, they are all conforming
lots. He thinks it’s been mentioned in previous meetings when Applicants are trying to develop
properties within the existing ordinances, which they are doing in this case, the Commission needs to
allow that to happen and he is supportive of that.
Ressler asked to clarify regarding Kirchner’s disclosure, does Kirchner feel that he is skewed by his
opinion based on the proximity or if he feels he can comfortably and independently rule on his decision.
Kirchner answered he doesn’t feel that he is skewed, he does not show abutting properties and he has no
financial interest or anything related to the development or any other association with it.
Erickson stated he is in favor of the Staff recommendation and would like to make an additional comment
regarding the access at the intersection from County Road 15, and said he is pleased to see that Hennepin
County is maintaining their endorsement for the right-turn lane and that is very important. He said at this
point, he is not seeing any mention of a blend lane or a right-out space for people leaving the project and
headed West and he thinks that would be an important aspect in terms of transportation safety and he
hopes that gets some discussion in the future process.
Libby had a couple of questions for Mr. Gronberg, noting it is a nice plan and he has looked at it before
because he is a direct neighbor. He said in 17 years of living on Heritage Lane in Fox Hill, they’ve dealt
with these accesses and right-of-way accesses in and out of the neighborhood for a long time. He noted
he’s had countless, probably thousands of trips in and out and said he doesn’t see a dimension for the
private street driveway width.
Mr. Gronberg answered there was a typical section on the road plan and he thinks it is 28 feet.
Libby asked if the right-turn lane coming from the East would have a right-of-way shoulder.
Mr. Gronberg said they just got the comments that the County is looking at it so they will go by the
County’s recommendation, noting the turn lane hasn’t been designed yet.
Libby said the question is adjunct to Ms. Burwell’s question because it doesn’t take very long for a couple
of cars to slow down to turn into a secondary street without backing up the traffic, which is constant in
both directions. At the juncture where the driveway terminates and comes out where there wouldn’t be a
turn lane, he asked if there was any thought or provision to have any parking, even for the three lots that
have the dock access. He said again, knowing that he has to take his provisions and guests from his home
down to the lakeshore to cross County Road 15 to get to the docks, he is very familiar with the protocol
and process to do that. However, he said they have a public street to park on as residents of the Fox Hill
Homeowners’ Association and they are courteous about not overusing a public street. On a private drive

or for those residents in Lots 1, 2 and 3, they will have to provision to come down to County Road 15 and
asked if there was anything in the plan for that.
Mr. Gronberg answered that’s a very good idea and they could look into that, noting they are hampered a
little bit by such a narrow corridor there and all the wetlands, but they could see if there’s room for
someone, even if they come down in a golf cart, to pull off.
Libby noted that is a great idea as that is a safety measure that he’s seen become a serious problem in his
neighborhood and he thinks it’s a helpful provision. He noted it’s always been discussed after the
Tanager Estates first designed the provision that if this was ever to double, would there be a safe method
for people to cross County Road 15, so the residents in Lots 1, 2 and 3 that will have dockage there, will
have to transfer themselves across the road.
Mr. Gronberg noted they could not do it on County right -of-way, but that’s a very good point to look at.
Libby encouraged Mr. Gronberg to contact himself or someone from the Fox Hill Homeowners’
Association because they have endeavored very seriously as an HOA to discuss with Mr. Godfrey and
other traffic and safety control engineers in Hennepin County to allow some type of a painted crosswalk
or signal. He said they are a neighborhood of 26 residents with 16 boat-slips, about the fourth or fifth
largest commercial dock system on the lake and even with children and elderly people walking across on
a regular basis, they were completely turned down even after traffic counts. He said he would welcome it
if Mr. Gronberg would like to collaborate with his neighborhood eventually and see if they could go back
to Hennepin County to get some genuinely safe methods of transit across County Road 15.
Mr. Gronberg stated he knows how tough it is to get back and forth across that road.
Libby said it is a safety issue that is almost beyond comprehension as in his neighborhood there are three
or four families with minor children under 10 years old and must transition across with small children.
He said he has a number of clients, friends and acquaintances who are quite elderly, including his wife
who will be 80 years old at the end of the month, and they must transition that road to go over and use
their lakeshore and their dock. He stated he thinks it’s important to collaborate in the future in getting
Hennepin County to do something. Libby asked if Mr. Gronberg could not create parking at the juncture
of the private driveway and County Road 15, would they have a wide enough thoroughfare there that
some of the residents and their guests can park and then walk down the approximately two blocks.
Mr. Gronberg answered they could work with the city to have a bit wider of a lane down there if there
isn’t enough room for parking and thanked Libby for the ideas he brought up.
McCutcheon stated he had nothing to add.
Ressler asked Barnhart if this is City sewer.
Barnhart answered yes.
Ressler asked Barnhart if MUSA allows City sewer and water.
Barnhart answered MUSA is for City sewer and that water is a different entity.

Ressler asked Barnhart if they decided to add City water to this development, would that be another
expansion of the MUSA.
Barnhart answered no, it would a request from the City Council to connect to the public system, and the
cost would be associated with that request.
Ressler stated one of the comments from the public hearing was good, he had overlooked that it would
not have any hydrants and he thinks it’s worth considering if the Applicant wanted to think about it, he
would defer to the Council’s opinion on whether that was necessary or not. The other comment, as Mr.
Libby stated, is the parking situation. He said when he looked at those three lots and the lakeshore having
their identified private docks as well, any time someone is doing any kind of entertaining, asking people
to walk along the shoulder of County Road 15, depending on the day can be challenging. He said he’s
not sure he has an opinion on how that works because if someone has their own private lakeshore, they’d
like to have their own private lakeshore for use, noting it’s a safety concern but is probably a salability
issue more than anything else. He said it may not be more than a comment for consideration but one
might make an argument that a community dock is better because at least people aren’t walking down the
shoulder for 100 yards before they get to their lot. He said he appreciates Barnhart addressing the
comments on average lakeshore setback and how they understand that precedent. Going back to the
parking situation, Ressler said whether there is a pullover, if there is parking on that road they will also
need to have a turnaround without having to get back on County Road 15 to get back to the homeowner’s
property. He said he’d recommend the Applicant consider that perhaps there could be a couple of areas
where cars could pull a golf cart or vehicle in, that might be a nice amenity. Ressler noted the layout
looks reasonable and perhaps a bit of thoughtfulness in those things as the developer is laying it all out
with the turn lanes and everything else, and it will be nice when it’s done.

Engineering Review #2
Dear Jeremy:
As requested, I have completed an engineering review of the revised documents submitted for the above
referenced project. We offer the following observations, comments, and recommendations for your
consideration:
1. Four rain gardens and soil amendments are proposed for stormwater runoff management to
meet regulatory requirements. The following must be considered regarding stormwater
management:
a. Per City requirements, the proposed stormwater management system must limit proposed
peak runoff rates to that of existing for the 1, 10, and 100 year – 24h hour events. In
addition, per NPDES MS4 requirements, the system must limit proposed discharges of
runoff volume, Total Suspended Solids, and Phosphorus on an annual average basis to that
of existing conditions as well.
b. Based on field inspection and a shovel test, site soils are likely not conducive for
infiltration. If infiltration is not possible due to site soils, volume control will not be
required per NPDES requirements, but rain gardens are still necessary to treat the water
quality volume and provide pollutant control. Also, due to the tight soils, an underdrain
must be installed with the basins to ensure complete drawdown between rainfall events.
c. The number of rain gardens should be reduced to consolidate treatment locations and future
maintenance. The two basins proposed in the rear yards pose access and maintenance
issues.
d. Facilities necessary for the ultimate development (street construction, driveways, buildings,
etc.) must be installed and the site mass-graded at the same time as street construction to
ensure all drainage ways, watersheds, and runoff management systems are constructed per
the approved Stormwater Management Plan and are sized adequately for proposed
improvements.
e. Rain gardens must be permanently vegetated prior to issuance of any building permits.
f. An impervious surface exhibit must be provided to verify areas match the calculations. The
exhibit must indicate existing and proposed impervious surfaces.
g. A stormwater management plan outlining how the proposed improvements will meet all
requirements must be submitted for review prior to Preliminary Plat approval to ensure
adequate siting is available for required facilities.

2. Storm sewer sizing calculations must be submitted with correspond drainage area map to verify
adequate sizing.
3. Final Plans must include the following:
a. Grading, Drainage, and Erosion Control Plan
b. Street Construction Plan
c. Utility Plan
d. Landscape and Restoration Plan (including invasive species removal)
e. SWPPP meeting NPDES requirements
4. The applicant will be required to obtain Minnehaha Creek Watershed District (MCWD)
approval and permitting. Per recent correspondence with MCWD, they will require all
stormwater runoff management facilities to be installed with initial development. A copy of
any approvals or permits required must be submitted prior to Final Plat approval.
5. The applicant will be required to obtain a General Construction Permit (NPDES) to discharge
stormwater associated with construction activity since more than 1 acre will be disturbed. A
copy of the permit must be submitted prior to any land disturbing activity.
6. The applicant will be required to obtain Hennepin County approval and permitting for
connection to CSAH 15. A copy of any approvals or permits required must be submitted prior
to Final Plat approval.
7. The applicant will be required to submit a Maintenance Agreement for all stormwater
management structures and facilities. The agreement must define maintenance responsibilities
following completion of project, specify types and frequencies of inspection and maintenance
activities, designate who will conduct inspection and maintenance activities, and outline
reporting requirements.
8. Drainage and Utility Easements msut be provided as follows:
a. Over all sanitary forcemain.
b. Over all stormwater management facilities used to meet regulatory requirements.
c. Over all wetland and buffers.
d. All swales and piping providing drainage for multiple properties.
e. 5’ along all side lot lines, unless adjacent to Development boundary.
f. 10’ along all front lot lines, rear lot lines, and adjacent to Development boundary.
9. Well locations must be indicated on the site plan to confirm adequate separation distance to
septic facilities.
10. The 15” CMP under the entrance road must be replaced with a 15” RCP and existing drainage
patterns maintained.
11. To better facilitate drainage, a rural street section should be considered at the entrance south of
the storm sewer to the rain garden. Ditches do not need to be included. Due to the existing
wetland on the west side and an existing culvert on the east, runoff will naturally drain away
from the road. Otherwise, a curb cut must be installed at the low point with riprap to dissipate
energy.

Dear Jeremy:
As requested, I have completed an engineering review of the documents submitted for the above

1. Five rain gardens are proposed for stormwater runoff management to meet regulatory
requirements. The following must be considered regarding stormwater management:
a. Per City requirements, the proposed stormwater management system must limit proposed
peak runoff rates to that of existing for the 1, 10, and 100 year – 24h hour events. In

quality volume and provide pollutant control. Also, due to the tight soils, an underdrain
must be installed with the basins to ensure complete drawdown between rainfall events.
c. The number of rain gardens should be reduced to consolidate treatment locations and future
maintenance. The basin proposed near the entrance does not have adequate vertical
separation from the anticipated water table, so it should be eliminated. In addition, the two
basins proposed in the rear yards pose access and maintenance issues.
d. Facilities necessary for the ultimate development (street construction, driveways, buildings,
etc.) should be installed and the site mass-graded at the same time as street construction to
ensure all drainage ways, watersheds, and runoff management systems are constructed per
the approved Stormwater Management Plan.
e. Rain gardens should be permanently vegetated prior to issuance of any building permits.
f. Calculations indicate all driveways will be pervious. Since construction and maintenance
of pervious pavement by private property owners often results in inadequate treatment and
management of stormwater runoff, all driveways must be calculated as impervious surfaces
for the purpose of rate control verification.
g. A stormwater management plan outlining how the proposed improvements will meet all
requirements must be submitted for review prior to Preliminary Plat approval to ensure
adequate siting is available for required facilities.

Mr. Whitten,
The City has reviewed your preliminary plat proposal, and has a number of comments to offer. It is recommended
that these comments be incorporated into revised drawings. For inclusion on the Planning Commission packet,
revised drawings should be received no later than close of business August 10, 2020.
Lots/ Setbacks
1. As shown, lots 1-3 are not lake lots, as they do not have frontage on a lake.
Therefore, their width is measured at the building setback line, 50 feet from the street. Lots 2 and 3 do
not meet the minimum 200 foot of width. It is assumed that lots 1-3 will be made into lake lots by
extending across County Rd 15. If so, the lot width is measured at the lake and at the 75 lake yard. Outlots
shown.
2. The proposed/ anticipated house sites for lots 5 and 6 are impacted by the 30 foot top of bluff setback.
Noted
3. The plans indicate the amount of contiguous dry buildable area for lots 1-3. Please also include that
calculation for lot 5 and 6. Provided
4. Please show the 75 lake setback for lots 1-3, and 6. Shown
5. Please show the average lake shore setback as provided for in section 78-1279 for lot 6. Use the identified
house pad for lot 3, Tanager Estates. Shown
6. The street side yard setback for Lot 1 is 30 feet. Shown
7. Lot 7 has frontage on three sides, the narrowest dimension is the designated front yard and its 50 foot
setback. The other frontages will require a 30’ side street setback. Shown
8. Is an entrance monument proposed? If so, details should be provided and it should be located either
within an easement or outlot. Not shown
Streets
9. Hennepin County has provided preliminary comment, attached as Exhibit A. Final Comments are expected
August 10th. Final comments have not been received.
10. The street will be private. A homeowners association will need to be established for the continued
maintenance of the improvement. Noted
11. Please confirm the radii dimension for the cul de sac. ROW radii should be 50 feet, the pavement should
be 45 feet. Radii not labeled on plat or road plan.
Utilities
12. The service connection for lot 5 should be in the front yard, nearer the street. Revised
13. City Engineer comments are attached as Exhibit B.
Grading/ Landscaping
14. Please show and list all trees that will be removed due to grading and those that are anticipated to be removed
due to house pad preparation. Shown on grading plan
15. Please provide a detail of the retaining wall proposed in the front yard of lot 5. (Height/ material/ etc.) Grading
plan labeled.
16. Stormwater management plans must be submitted to the watershed district for their review and comment.
Noted. Pending.
17. The plan shows 5 rain gardens. A private covenant will be necessary guarantee maintenance of these gardens
in perpetuity. Noted. Number of raingardens reduced to 4.
18. All rain gardens will need to be installed, planted, and easements recorded prior to issuance of any building
permit in the subdivision. Note
19. Please provide a planting plan for each of the proposed rain gardens. Not provided.
Other/ Miscellaneous
20. Street trees are required. 1 tree is required per 40 feet of street frontage. The City Council has recently
preferred trees to be installed in natural clumps, in lieu of 40’ on center placement. Note.
21. As part of the final plat, the following legal documents will be required
a. Home Owners Association (HOA) documents to guarantee the maintenance of the rain gardens and
the private street
b. Private Covenants to guide use and house design (if desired)
c. Drainage and flowage easements (over wetlands)
d. Conservation easements (over bluff areas, at minimum)
e. Buffer documents (as required by watershed district)
f. Drainage and Utility Easements over each rain garden. Note
It is helpful to provide a point by point response when submitting new plans, to facilitate more efficient review by
Planning Commission and City Council. Please feel free to contact me at 952.249.4626 or by email at

Hennepin County Comment
Jason Gottfried (Jason.Gottfried@hennepin.us)
Access: While our first preference continues to be connecting these homes internally to Heritage Ln, we
understand that is not broadly supported. We would accept the use of the current driveway along CSAH
15 with the condition of both turn lanes being provided. Due to Shoreline Drive’s higher volumes, as a
two-lane roadway, we recommend turn lanes for both approaches (eastbound left, and westbound right
turn lanes). While trip generation may be somewhat low (7 homes), we would anticipate numerous
deliveries, landscapers, and other services frequenting this location. With any access along Shoreline
Drive, the WB right turn would be the predominate movement, but for the occasional EB left turn,
finding gaps to turn safely are minimal, and we would seek to have left turn lanes to provide residents
and visitors a more comfortable approach while allowing for heavy EB traffic volumes to pass more
safely in the dedicated thru lane.
Right-of-way: With continual erosion along the lakeshore, we believe it would be prudent to dedicate
right-of-way along the north side of Shoreline Drive when and where feasible to allow for future
roadway needs. This may possibly include shifting the roadway to the north in a future project to
minimize this erosion risk and degradation to the roadway. At this time, we request 27’ ROW on the
north half of CSAH 15. At minimum, dedication of ROW would be needed to cover turn lanes at this
location.

AGENDA ITEM
Prepared By: J. Barnhart Reviewed By: DJR Approved By: DJR
1. Purpose. Approve the proposed changes to the Subdivision Code.
2. Background. At its meeting on August 13th, the Council received the subdivision code proposal
developed by city staff and the City attorney. The Council requested that the draft be sent to area
surveyors for their input. The draft was sent on August 18th to the following surveyors and
engineers who represent subdivision projects since 2018.
Eric Luth Sambatek
Mark Gronberg Gronberg and Associates
Sam Civil Site Group
Mark Rausch Alliant Engineering
Steve Eggert Lakewest Development
The draft was also shared with members and guests of the Code Review Committee on August
20th.
The one comment received to date regards the definition of dry-buildable. The commenter
questions why steep slopes would be excluded from the calculation as in certain cases, a walk out
basement could generate slopes of 22+ degrees.
Staff does not propose substantive changes to the dry buildable definition; the changes reflect the
current definition in the zoning code and the desire that these definitions be consistent throughout
the city code.
A change to the dry-buildable definition to include steep slopes would likely result in reduced
“effectively” buildable areas of lots as steep slopes reduce areas for septic systems and house
pads without major grading effort. In unsewered areas, the dry buildable calculation is a critical
component in developing a subdivision. Note that steep slopes are a major feature of the
subdivision at 135 Orono Orchard Road and allowing them to be counted as ‘buildable’ could
result in additional lots.
All changes are shown, new text is underlined, and text to be deleted is struck-through.
3. Planning Commission Vote and Comment. The Planning Commission voted 5-1 (Bollis) on a
motion to approve the changes to the subdivision code as proposed.
4. Public Comment. The only comment received to date is attached as Exhibit B.
5. Staff Recommendation. Staff recommends approval of the ordinance as drafted.
COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED
City Council should provide staff direction.

(1) An unusual hardship on the land exists, including but not limited to inadequate access to direct 494
sunlight for solar energy systems; 495
(2) The granting of the variance will not be detrimental to the public safety, health or welfare or 496

land involved, an unusual hardship to the land would result, as distinguished from an 501
inconvenience or hardship to the subdivider, and it is found that the strict enforcement of this 502
chapter would result in an environmentally unsound development of the land; 503
(5) The variance will not in any manner vary the provisions of the comprehensive municipal 504
planCommunity Management Plan; 505
(6) The variances will not in any manner vary the minimum requirements for a lot as set forth in 506
chapter 78 as applied to the entire subdivision; and 507

sections below and I am not aware of a statutory
requirement that those provisions be in the code.

reason to withhold approvals. Is there a nexus between
what is listed below and the pending application?

filed in the chain of title of the property concurrent with the filing of the final plat. 1264
(5) Flowage and conservation easements. The council may, upon recommendation of the planning 1265
commission and/or city staff, require the subdivider to convey to the city a flowage and 1266
conservation easement restricting the use, improvement and development of certain portions of 1267
the land to be subdivided. Flowage and conservation easements will be made a condition of final 1268
plat approval as follows: 1269
a. Whenever any open water, creek, stream or natural drainageway occurs in any portion of the 1270
subject tract, the floodplain or floodway of the lake, pond, stream, creek or drainageway 1271
shall be described as a drainage easement subject to a flowage and conservation easement to 1272
the city. 1273
b. Whenever any wetlands, marshlands or lowland acting as a stormwater retention area occurs 1274
within any portion of the subject tract, that area shall be described consistent with established 1275
flood or water retention elevations, soil type characteristics and vegetation characteristics as 1276
a drainage easement subject to a flowage and conservation easement to the city. 1277
c. Flowage and conservation easements may be described and conveyed by metes and bounds 1278
with the ownership and maintenance responsibilities remaining with the individual parcels 1279
of class I subdivisions. 1280
d. Whenever a flowage and conservation easement is required, the easement shall be fully 1281
executed prior to final plat approval, using the legal descriptions of the final plat, and shall 1282
thereafter be filed in the chain of title of the property concurrent with the filing of the final 1283
plat. 1284
(6) Homeowners' association agreements. The council may, upon recommendation of the planning 1285
commission and/or city staff, require the subdivider to create a viable homeowners' association, 1286
acceptable to the city, which will be responsible for the ownership and maintenance of, among 1287
other things, common facilities, private roads, private sewer and water lines, open space, 1288
pathways, drainageways, and drainage ponds, and any improvements which are not to be accepted 1289
by the city for public ownership and maintenance. Such maintenance shall include, among other 1290
things, repair, replacement when necessary, snow removal, grass cutting, weed control, cleanup 1291
of trash and debris, mosquito control, odor control, silt removal from drainage ponds and 1292
drainageways, and grading and surfacing of private roads. If a reasonable maintenance standard 1293
is not maintained by the homeowners' association, the city shall have the right to take corrective 1294
action it deems appropriate to protect the health, safety and welfare of the public and to assess 1295
against the homeowners' association and/or land in the subdivision for all costs incurred. Such 1296
corrective action will not change the status of a private improvement. Such a homeowners' 1297
association agreement is required by the city; or whenever a subdivider intends to create a 1298
homeowners' association, the form and content of the association agreement must be approved by 1299
the city prior to final plat approval. The subdivider shall submit three copies of the proposed 1300
association agreement, bylaws and articles of incorporation for incorporated associations to the 1301
city attorney for review. 1302
(7) Subdivider's agreementDevelopment contracts. The council may, upon the recommendation of 1303
the planning commission and/or city staff, require the subdivider to execute a subdivider's 1304
agreementdevelopment contract prior to final plat approval. The subdivider's 1305
Commented [JB84]: Examine

Commented [SM86]: The Statute calls it a development
contract
July 20, 2020 page 31
agreementdevelopment contract shall set forth in the standard city form those improvements 1306
required to be completed as a condition of subdivisionplat approval, the party responsible for the 1307
installation and maintenance of the improvements, and the method of payment of the installation 1308
and maintenance costs. 1309
Sec. 82-213. - Assurance for completion and maintenance of required public or private 1310
improvements—Improvements and public bond (class II and III subdivisions). 1311
The following provisions apply to class II and class III subdivisions: 1312
(1) Completion of required public or private improvements. Before the mayor and city clerk sign a 1313
final plat, the subdivider shall complete or agree to complete at their his cost all of the required 1314
public or private improvements as required in this chapter and as specified in the resolution 1315
approving the final plat and in the subdivider's agreementdevelopment contract, and in the case 1316
of public improvements, to dedicate them to the city, free and clear of all liens and encumbrances 1317
on the property and public improvements thus dedicated. 1318
(2) Performance bond.Security 1319
a. The city may require the developer furnish security, in the amount of 125% of the cost of the 1320
improvements, to guarantee their completion. The city may waive the requirement that the 1321
subdivider complete certain public and private improvements and dedicate certain public 1322
improvements prior to the signing of the final plat, and that, as an alternative, the subdivider 1323
post a bond at the time of the application for the final plat approval in an amount estimated 1324
by the city engineer as sufficient to secure to the city the satisfactory construction, 1325
installation and where appropriate dedication of the incompleted portion of the required 1326
private and public improvement. The amount of the performance bond shall be equal to 1½ 1327
times the estimated amount. 1328
b. Such performance security bonds shall comply with all statutory requirements and be 1329
satisfactory to the city attorney as to form and manner of execution. The period within which 1330
the required public and private improvements must be completed shall be specified by the 1331
city in the resolution approving the final subdivision plat or in the subdivider's 1332
agreementdevelopment contract and shall be incorporated in the bond and shall not exceed 1333
two years from date of final plat approval. The city may, upon proof of difficulty, extend the 1334
completion date set forth in such bond for a maximum period of one additional year. The 1335
city may at any time during the period of such bond accept a substitution of principal or 1336
sureties on the bond. 1337
(3) Temporary improvement. The subdivider shall build and pay for all costs of temporary 1338
improvements required by the city and shall maintain them for the period specified by the city. 1339
Prior to construction of any temporary facility or improvement, the subdivider shall file with the 1340
city a separate suitable performance bondsecurity for temporary facilities, which bondsecurity 1341
shall ensure that the temporary facilities will be properly constructed, maintained and removed. 1342
(4) Cost of improvements. All required public and private improvements shall be made by the 1343
subdivider, at his their expense, without reimbursement by the city. 1344
(5) Governmental units. Governmental units to which these bondsecuritys and contract provisions 1345
apply may file in lieu of a contract or bond a certified resolution or ordinance of that governmental 1346
unit's agreeing to comply with the provisions of this chapter. 1347
(6) Failure to complete required improvements. For subdivisionplats for which no performance 1348
bondsecurity has been posted, if the improvements are not completed within the period specified 1349
by the city in the resolution approving the final plat, the approval shall be deemed to have expired. 1350
In those cases where a performance bondsecurity has been posted and required improvements 1351
Commented [SM87]: We don’t want bonds.
Commented [JB88]: Used to be 150%, most cities use
125% or less
Commented [SM89]: This is high. 1.25 is the average and
some communities are lowering it.
Commented [JB90]: Check bond versus security
July 20, 2020 page 32
have not been installed within the term of such performance bondsecurity and resolution 1352
approving the final plat, the city may thereupon declare the bondsecurity in default and require 1353
that all improvements be installed regardless of the extent of the building development at the time 1354
the bondsecurity is declared to be in default. Moreover, the city may withhold building permits 1355
and certificates of occupancy for lots in the subdivisionplat until the required improvements have 1356
been installed. If the city undertakes the installation of the required private improvements, the 1357
city, by doing so, will not undertake the subsequent maintenance of those private improvements. 1358
(7) Acceptance of dedication offers. Acceptance of formal offers of dedication of streets, public 1359
areas, easements and parks for which the city thereafter will be responsible shall be by resolution 1360
of the city. Acceptance of deeds and easements granting to the city open spaces, flowage and 1361
conservation easements, underlying public road easements, and utility easements shall be by 1362
resolution approving the final subdivision plats, which acceptance shall not be deemed to 1363
constitute or imply acceptance of a formal dedication of those properties for which the city 1364
thereafter would be responsible. The approval by the city of a final plat shall not be deemed to 1365
constitute or imply acceptance by the city of any streets, easement or park shown on the plat. The 1366
city may require the plat to be endorsed with appropriate notes to this effect. 1367
Sec. 82-214. - Inspection of required public and private improvements. 1368
(a) General procedure and fees. The city may inspect required public and private improvements during 1369
construction. The applicant shall pay to the city an inspection fee based on the city engineers estimate 1370
the current city fee schedule for public and private improvements required as a result of subdivision 1371
approvalenumerated in the Development Contract. If the city finds upon inspection that any of the 1372
required improvements have not been constructed in accordance with the city's construction standards 1373
and specifications, the subdivider shall be responsible for completing the improvements; and no 1374
building permits or certificates of occupancy shall be issued until the required improvements have 1375
been completed by the subdivider. Wherever the cost of improvements is covered by a performance 1376
bond, the subdivider and the bonding company shall be severally and jointly liable for completing the 1377
improvements according to specifications. 1378
(b) Release or reduction of performance bondsecurity. 1379
(1) Certificate of satisfactory completion. The city will not accept dedication of required 1380
improvements, nor release nor reduce securitya performance bond, until the city engineer has 1381
submitted a certificate stating that all required improvements have been satisfactorily completed 1382
and until the subdivider's engineer or surveyor has certified to the city engineer, through 1383
submission of a detailed as-built construction drawing and survey plat of the subdivision, 1384
indicating location, dimensions, materials and other information required by the city, that the 1385
layout of the line and grade of all required improvements is in accordance with construction plans 1386
for the subdivision. The city may require that a title insurance policy be furnished to and approved 1387
by the city attorney, indicating that the required public improvements are free and clear of any 1388
and all liens and encumbrances. Upon such approval and recommendations, the city may 1389
thereafter accept the public improvements for dedication in accordance with the established 1390
procedure. 1391
(2) Reduction of security performance bond. A performance bond Security may be reduced upon 1392
actual dedication of public improvements or upon satisfactory completion of the private 1393
improvement and then only to the ratio that the improvement bears to the total required 1394
improvements for the plat. In no event shall security a performance bond be reduced below 25 10 1395
percent of the principal amount until satisfactory completion of all required improvements. 1396
Sec. 82-215. - Maintenance of required public and private improvements. 1397
(a) The subdivider shall be required to maintain all private improvements and individual lot 1398
improvements and provide for snow removal on streets and sidewalks until acceptance of such private 1399
Commented [JB91]: We don’t really do this.
Commented [JB92]: Does this allow us to not accept the
street because the work was poor?
Commented [JB93]: Is this whole area 213-214 too
wordy. Cant we say the subdivider is responsible for the
improvements at their expense. The developer shall pay
fees estimated by the engineer and outlined in the DA for
the inspection of these improvements, the developer shall
correct defective work, and the city will not issue a building
permit until the work is accepted.
Commented [JB94]: Shall?
July 20, 2020 page 33
improvements by a subsequent lot owner or homeowners' association. The subdivider shall be required 1400
to maintain all public improvements and provide for snow removal on streets and sidewalks until 1401
acceptance of such public improvements by resolution of the city. If there are any certificates of 1402
occupancy upon a street not already dedicated to and accepted by the city, the city may on 12-hours' 1403
notice plow the street or effect emergency repairs and charge the cost to the subdivider, and, if the 1404
subdivider fails to pay those amounts within ten days of receipt, the city may declare a portion of the 1405
performance bond to be in default and to charge those moneys against that portion of the performance 1406
bond. 1407
(b) The subdivider shall be required to file a warranty bondBond with the city, prior to the issuance of 1408
the certificate of satisfactory completion, in an amount considered adequate by the city engineer and 1409
in a form satisfactory to the city attorney in order to ensure the satisfactory condition of the required 1410
public and/or private improvements, including all lot improvements on the individual subdivided lots 1411
for a period of one year after the date of the issuance of the certificate of satisfactory completion. 1412
Sec. 82-216. - Deferral of required public or private improvements. 1413
(a) The city may defer at the time of the approval of the final subdivisionplat, subject to appropriate 1414
conditions, the installation of any or all such public or private improvements as, in its judgment, are 1415
not requisite in the interest of the public health, safety and general welfare, or which are inappropriate 1416
because of the inadequacy or lack of connecting public or private improvements. 1417
(b) Whenever it is deemed necessary by the city to defer the construction of any public or private 1418
improvements required in this section because of incompatible grades, future planning, inadequate or 1419
lack of connecting public or private improvements, or for other reasons, the subdivider shall pay 1420
histheir estimated share of the cost of the future improvements to the city prior to the signing of the 1421
final subdivisionplat; or the subdivider may post a bond security insuring completion of such 1422
improvements upon demand of the city. 1423
Sec. 82-217. - Nonresidential subdivisions. 1424
(a) General. If a proposed subdivision includes land that is zoned for commercial or industrial purposes, 1425
the layout of the subdivision with respect to such land shall make such provision as the council may 1426
require. A nonresidential subdivision shall also be subject to all the requirements of the site plan 1427
approval set forth in chapter 78. Site plan approval and nonresidential subdivision approval may 1428
proceed simultaneously at the discretion of the council. A nonresidential subdivision shall be subject 1429
to all the requirements of this chapter, as well as such additional standards required by the council, and 1430
shall conform to the proposed land use and standards established in the comprehensive municipal plan, 1431
and chapter 78. 1432
(b) Standards. In addition to the principles and standards in this chapter, which are appropriate to the 1433
planning of all subdivisions, the subdivider shall demonstrate to the satisfaction of the council that the 1434
street, parcel and block pattern proposed is specifically adapted to the uses anticipated and takes into 1435
account other uses in the vicinity. The following principles and standards shall be observed: 1436
(1) Proposed industrial parcels shall be suitable in area and dimensions to the types of industrial 1437
development anticipated. 1438
(2) Street rights-of-way and pavement shall be adequate to accommodate the type and volume of 1439
traffic anticipated to be generated upon them. 1440
(3) Special requirements may be imposed by the city with respect to street, curb, gutter, and sidewalk 1441
design and construction. 1442
(4) Special requirements may be imposed by the city with respect to the installation of public 1443
utilities, including water, sewer, and stormwater drainage. 1444
Commented [JB95]: Do we do this? Does anybody?
Commented [JB96]: The language would be in the DA.
We wouldn’t grant a CO for a new home, so this would only
apply to existing homes with access elsewhere. (690 Brown
eg)
July 20, 2020 page 34
(5) Every effort shall be made to protect adjacent residential areas from potential nuisance from a 1445
proposed commercial or industrial subdivision, including the provision of extra depth in parcels 1446
backing up on existing or potential residential development and provisions for a permanently 1447
landscaped buffer strip when necessary. 1448
(6) Streets carrying nonresidential traffic, especially truck traffic, shall not normally be extended to 1449
the boundaries of adjacent existing or potential residential areas. 1450
Sec. 82-218. - Subdivisions straddling municipal and school district boundaries. 1451
Whenever access to subdivision is required across land in another local government, the council may 1452
request assurance from the city attorney that access is legally established, and from the city engineer that 1453
the access road is adequately improved, or that a performance bond has been duly executed and is 1454
sufficient in amount to assure the construction of the access road. In general, lot Lot lines shall be laid out 1455
so as not to cross municipal and school district boundary lines. 1456
Sec. 82-219. - Monuments. 1457
The applicant shall place permanent reference monuments in the subdivisionplat as required by 1458
statute. 1459
Sec. 82-220. - Character of the land. 1460
Land which the council finds to be unsuitable for subdivision or development due to flooding, 1461
improper drainage, steep slopes, soil conditions, rock formations, adverse earth formations or topography, 1462
utility easements, or other features which will reasonably be harmful to the safety, health and general 1463
welfare of the present or future inhabitants of the subdivisionplat and/or its surrounding areas shall not be 1464
subdivided or developed unless adequate methods are formulated by the developer and approved by the 1465
council, upon recommendation of the city engineer, to solve the problems created by the unsuitable land 1466
conditions. Such land shall be set aside for uses as shall not involve such a danger. 1467
Sec. 82-221. - SubdivisionPlat name. 1468
The proposed name of the subdivisionplat shall not duplicate, or too closely approximate 1469
phonetically, the name of any other subdivisionplat in the area city covered by this chapter. The council 1470
shall have final authority to designate the name of the subdivisionplat, which shall be determined at 1471
preliminary subdivisionplat approval. 1472
Sec. 82-222. - Drainage and storm sewers. 1473
(a) General requirements. The city shall not approve any subdivisionplat which does not make adequate 1474
provision for stormwater or floodwater runoff. Surface water drainage patterns shall be shown for each 1475
lot and block. The stormwater drainage system shall be separate and independent of any sanitary sewer 1476
system. Storm sewers, where required, shall be designed by the method as approved by the city, and a 1477
copy of design computations shall be submitted along with plans. Inlets shall be provided so that 1478
surface water is not carried across or around any intersection, nor for a distance of more than 600 feet 1479
in the gutter in urban areas. When calculations indicate that curb capacities are exceeded at a point, no 1480
further allowance shall be made for flow beyond that point; and basins shall be used to intercept flow 1481
at that point. 1482
(b) Nature of stormwater facilities. 1483
(1) Location. The subdivision shall be required by the city to carry away by pipe or open ditch any 1484
spring or surface water that may exist either previously to or as a result of the subdivisionplat. 1485
Such drainage facilities shall be located in the road right-of-way where feasible, or in perpetual 1486
unobstructed easements of appropriate width, and shall be constructed in accordance with the 1487
city's construction standards and specifications. 1488
(2) Accessibility to public storm sewers. 1489
Commented [JB97]: We don’t need two playbooks.
July 20, 2020 page 35
a. Where a public storm sewer is accessible, the subdivider shall install storm sewer facilities; 1490
or, if no outlets are within a reasonable distance, adequate provision shall be made for the 1491
disposal of stormwaters, subject to the specifications of the city. However, in subdivisions 1492
containing lots less than 22,000 square feet in area and in business and industrial districts, 1493
underground storm sewer systems shall be constructed throughout the subdivisions and be 1494
conducted to an approved outfall. 1495
b. If a connection to a public storm sewer will be provided eventually, as determined by the 1496
city, the subdivider shall make arrangements for future stormwater disposal by a public 1497
utility system at the time the subdivision receives final approval. Provision for such 1498
connection shall be incorporated by inclusion in the performance bondBond required for the 1499
final subdivision. 1500
(3) Accommodation of upstream drainage areas. A culvert or other drainage facility shall in each 1501
case be large enough to accommodate potential runoff from its entire upstream drainage area, 1502
whether inside or outside the subdivision. The city shall determine the necessary size of the 1503
facility, based on the provisions of the construction standards and specifications assuming 1504
conditions of maximum potential watershed development permitted by chapter 78 and 1505
comprehensive municipal planCommunity Management Plan. 1506
(4) Effect on downstream drainage areas. The city shall also study the effect of each subdivisionplat 1507
on existing downstream drainage facilities outside the area of the subdivisionplat. City drainage 1508
studies, together with such other studies as shall be appropriate, shall serve as a guide to needed 1509
improvements. Where it is anticipated that the additional runoff incident to the development of 1510
the subdivisionplat will overload an existing downstream drainage facility, the city may withhold 1511
approval of the subdivisionplat until provision has been made for the improvement of the potential 1512
condition at the subdivider's expense and in such sum as the city shall determine. No 1513
subdivisionplat shall be approved unless adequate drainage will be provided to an adequate 1514
drainage watercourse or facility. 1515
(5) Floodplain areas. The city may, when it deems it necessary for the health, safety or welfare of 1516
the population of the area and necessary to the conservation of water, drainage and sanitary 1517
facilities, prohibit the subdivision of any portion of the property which lies within the floodplain 1518
of any stream, lake or drainage course. These floodplain areas shall be preserved from any and 1519
all destruction or damage resulting from clearing, grading or dumping of earth, waste material or 1520
stumps by the appropriate conservation easement. 1521
(c) Dedication of drainage easements. 1522
(1) General requirements. Where a subdivisionplat is traversed by a wetlands, swamp, watercourse, 1523
drainageway, channel or stream, there shall be provided a stormwater easement, conservation and 1524
flowage easement, or drainage right-of-way conforming substantially to the lines of such 1525
watercourse, and of such width and construction or both as will be adequate for the purpose. 1526
Wherever possible, it is desirable that the drainage be maintained by an open channel with 1527
landscaped banks and adequate width for maximum potential volume of flow. 1528
(2) Drainage easements. 1529
a. Where topography or other conditions are such as to make impractical the inclusion of 1530
drainage facilities within road rights-of-way, perpetual unobstructed easements of an 1531
appropriate width at least 15 feet in width for such drainage facilities shall be provided across 1532
property outside the road lines and with satisfactory access to a public roadway. Easements 1533
shall be indicated on the platn if subdivision is a plat. Drainage easements shall be carried 1534
from the road to a natural watercourse or to other drainage facilities. 1535
July 20, 2020 page 36
b. When a proposed drainage system will carry water across private land outside the 1536
subdivisionplat, appropriate drainage rights must be secured and indicated on the plan if the 1537
subdivision is a plat. 1538
c. The subdivider shall dedicate, by drainage or conservation easement of land on both sides of 1539
existing watercourses, to a distance to be determined by the city. 1540
d. Wetlands, swamps and low-lying lands along watercourses subject to flooding or 1541
overflowing during storm periods, whether or not included in areas for dedication, shall be 1542
preserved and retained in their natural state as drainageways; and conservation and flowage 1543
easements for those areas shall be dedicated to the city. Such lands subject to periodic 1544
flooding shall not be computed in determining the number of lots to be utilized for average 1545
density procedure nor for computing the area requirements of any lot. 1546
Sec. 82-223. - Water facilities. 1547
(a) Public water systems. 1548
(1) Where a public water main is accessible, the subdivider shall install adequate water facilities, 1549
including fire hydrants, subject to the specifications of the stateState or city. 1550
(2) Water main extensions shall be approved by the city. 1551
(3) To facilitate the provisions of subsections (a)(1) and (2) of this section, the location of all fire 1552
hydrants and all water supply improvements and all improvements proposed to be served shall be 1553
shown on the preliminary subdivisionplat, and the cost of installing such improvements shall be 1554
included in the performance bondBond to be furnished by the subdivider. 1555
(b) Individual wells. 1556
(1) In the discretion of the city, if a public water system is not available, individual wells may be 1557
used. Water samples shall be submitted to the stateState health department for its approval. 1558
(2) If the city requires that a connection to a public water main be eventually provided as a condition 1559
to approval of an individual well, the subdivider shall make arrangements for future water service 1560
at the time the subdivisionplat receives final approval. 1561
Sec. 82-224. - Sewerage facilities. 1562
(a) General requirements. Where public sanitary sewer is available, the subdivider shall install sanitary 1563
sewer facilities in a manner prescribed by the city's construction standards, specifications and 1564
provisions of this Code. All plans shall be designed in accordance with the rules, regulations and 1565
standards of the city, stateState health department, and other appropriate agencies. Plans shall be 1566
approved by these agencies. 1567
(b) Connection. Where a public sanitary sewerage system is reasonably accessible, the applicant shall 1568
connect the system and provide sewers accessible to each lot in the subdivisionplat. 1569
(c) Central system. In the Metropolitan Urban Service Area (MUSA), wWhere public sanitary sewerage 1570
systems are not reasonably accessible but will become available within a reasonable time (not to 1571
exceed 15 years), the applicant may choose a central sewerage system. The maintenance cost shall be 1572
assessed against each property benefited. Where plans for future public sanitary sewerage systems 1573
exist, the applicant shall install the sewer lines, laterals and mains to be in permanent conformance 1574
with such plans and ready for connection to such public sewer mains. 1575
(d) Septic system. In the MUSA, and Wwhere sanitary sewerage systems are not reasonably accessible 1576
and will not become available for a period in excess of 15 years, the applicant may install a sewerage 1577
system in accordance with chapter 58, article II. 1578
(e) Design criteria for sanitary sewers. 1579
Commented [JB98]: We already define lot area. Can this
be removed?
July 20, 2020 page 37
(1) Generally. These design criteria are not intended to cover extraordinary situations. Deviations 1580
will be allowed and may be required in those instances where considered justified by the city. 1581
(2) Design factors. Sanitary sewerage systems should be designed for the ultimate tributary 1582
population. Due consideration should be given to the Community Management Plancurrent 1583
zoning regulations and approved planning and zoning reports where applicable. Sewer capacities 1584
should be adequate to handle the anticipated maximum hourly quantity of sewage and industrial 1585
waste together with an adequate allowance for infiltration and other extraneous flow. Sewers shall 1586
be designed in accordance with standards and specifications approved by the city. 1587
Sec. 82-225. - Utilities. 1588
(a) Location. All utility facilities, including but not limited to gas, electric power, telephone and CATV 1589
cables, shall be located underground throughout a subdivisionplat. Wherever existing utility facilities 1590
are located above ground, except where existing on public roads and rights-of-way, they shall be 1591
removed and placed underground. All utility facilities existing and proposed throughout the 1592
subdivisionplat shall be shown on the preliminary subdivisionplat plan. Underground service 1593
connections to the street property line of each platted lot shall be installed at the subdivider's expense. 1594
At the discretion of the city, the requirements for service connections to each lot may be waived in the 1595
case of adjoining lots to be retained in single ownership and intended to be developed for the same 1596
primary use. 1597
(b) Easements. Easements centered on rear and side lot lines shall be provided for utilities (private and 1598
municipal), and such easement shall be at least ten feet wide and have satisfactory access to the 1599
publicly dedicated and opened road. Easements shall be indicated on the plat. Proper coordination shall 1600
be established between the subdivider and the applicable utility companies for the establishment of 1601
utility easements established in adjoining properties. 1602
Sec. 82-226. - Preservation of natural features and amenities. 1603
(a) (a) Generally. Existing features which would add value to residential development or to the city 1604
as a whole, such as trees, watercourses and falls, beaches, historic spots, and similar irreplaceable 1605
assets, shall be preserved in the design of the subdivisionplat. 1606
1. No trees shall be removed from any subdivisionplat nor any change of grade of the land 1607
effected until approval of the preliminary subdivisionplat has been granted. All trees on the 1608
subdivisionplat plan required to be retained shall be preserved, and all trees where required 1609
shall be welled and protected against change of grade. The vegetation map shall show the 1610
number and location of existing trees, as required by this chapter, and shall further indicate 1611
all those marked for retention, and the location of all proposed shade trees required along 1612
the street side of each lot as required by this chapter. 1613
(b) Shade Deciduous trees planted by subdivider. 1614
(1) As a requirement of subdivision approval, the city may require that the subdivider plant 1615
Deciduousshade trees on the property of the subdivision. Such trees are to be planted within five 1616
feet of the right-of-way of the roads within and abutting the subdivision, or, at the discretion of 1617
the city, within the right-of-way of such roads. One tree shall be planted for every 40 feet of 1618
frontage along each road unless the council, upon recommendation of city staff, shall grant a 1619
waiver. 1620
(2) New trees to be provided pursuant to this chapter shall be approved by the city and shall be 1621
planted in accordance with the specifications of the city. Such trees shall have a minimum trunk 1622
diameter, measured 12 inches above ground level, of not less than two inches. Only oak, honey 1623
locust, hard maples, ginkgo, ash or other long-lived shade trees acceptable to the city shall be 1624
planted. Alternatively, the City may accept trees recommended for street use by University of 1625

Sec. 82-227. - Parks and playgrounds, class II and III subdivisions. 1628
The following provisions apply to class II and III subdivisions: 1629
(1) Lands for public use. The city finds that when land is subdivided, including a planned residential 1630
development or a planned unit development, the resulting additional housing units or 1631
commercial/industrial buildings have an impact on the city's park system. Therefore, pursuant to 1632
Minn. Stat. § 462.358, subd. 2b, the city requires all persons, corporations or other legal entities 1633
that subdivide land within the city, as a prerequisite to approval of a lot division, final plat, 1634
planned residential development or planned unit devel opment, to convey to the city or dedicate 1635
to the public, for use as parks, playgrounds, trails or open space, a given percentage of the land 1636
being platted or developed as specified in this section, such portions to be approved by the city. 1637
In lieu thereof, the subdivider shall, at the option of the city, pay to the city, for use in the 1638
acquisition, development or improvement of public parks, playgrounds, trails, wetlands or open 1639
spaces and debt retirement in connection with the foregoing, an equivalent amount in cash based 1640
upon the fair market value of the land to be developed. The form of contribution (cash, land, or 1641
any combination) shall be decided by the city council based upon the need and conformance with 1642
the comprehensive plan. The amount of the dedication requirement shall be roughly proportional 1643
to the impact of the subdivision on the city's park system. 1644
(2) Dedicated land requirements. Any land to be dedicated as a requirement of this section shall be 1645
reasonably adaptable for the public purposes listed in subsection (1) of this section. Factors used 1646
in evaluating the adequacy of proposed dedicated areas shall include size, shape, topography, 1647
drainage, geology, tree cover, access and location. 1648
(3) Land dedication minimum area. Subdividers shall be required to dedicate to the city for parks, 1649
playgrounds, trails, open spaces and other public purposes as a minimum that percentage of gross 1650
land area, or other such amount as may be determined by the city council, as set forth below: 1651
a. In residential/agricultural/multiple residential zoned land, dedication requirement of eight 1652
percent of the land being platted or subdivided. The dedication required shall be roughly 1653
proportional to the projected impact of the proposed development on the city's park s ystem. 1654
Because of the vastly differing land values in the city, the eight percent park dedication 1655
requirement could result in park dedication requirements that are either significantly greater 1656
than or significantly less than the amount which is roughly proportional to the impact of the 1657
proposed development on the city's park system. Periodically, therefore, the city will 1658
establish both a maximum and minimum park dedication amount per dwelling unit based on 1659
an updated projection of the cost of the city's park system and the proportionate share of this 1660
projected cost to be borne by new dwelling units in the city. This will be done by a resolution 1661
of the city council. 1662
b. In commercial/industrial zoned land, dedication requirement of eight percent of the land 1663
being platted or subdivided. The dedication required shall be roughly proportional to the 1664
projected impact of the proposed development on the city's park system. The city finds that 1665
the employees of commercial/industrial developments in the city make use of the city's park 1666
system, particularly trails and natural areas. Because the city's park system is focused on 1667
trails and natural areas versus active community parks and ballfields, commercial/industrial 1668
employees use the city's park system in ways similar to city residents. Therefore, the 1669
commercial/industrial dedication requirement will be tied to the residential dedication 1670
requirement by determining the number of employees that is equivalent to a residential 1671
dwelling unit in terms of impact on the city's park system. Periodically the city will establish 1672
both a maximum and minimum park dedication amount per employee based on this 1673

determination and the determination of the residential dedication requirement as set out in 1674
subsection (3)a of this section. This will be done by resolution of the city council. 1675
c. Because the city's park system is focused on trails and natural open space areas, the city does 1676
not have a broad system of neighborhood parks. If a subdivision is planned to be served by 1677
a neighborhood park, this subdivision will receive a greater benefit from the city's park 1678
system than that received by the general population. Therefore, the maximum park 1679
dedication amount as determined in subsection (3)a of this section may be exceeded up to 1680
the full eight percent dedication requirement in the case of a subdivision that is planned to 1681
be served by a neighborhood park. 1682
(4) Cash contribution in lieu of lands. In those instances where a cash contribution is to be made by 1683
the subdivider, in lieu of a conveyance or dedication of land, the cash contribution to be 1684
contributed shall be equivalent to the fair market value of the equivalent undeveloped land that 1685
would otherwise have been conveyed or dedicated. The city shall account for such funds in a 1686
special fund named park dedication funds. These funds are to be used only for the acquisition, 1687
development and improvement of public parks, playgrounds, trails, wetlands or open spaces, and 1688
debt retirement in connection with the foregoing. 1689
(5) Fair market value of lands. Fair market value for purposes of this section shall be the land 1690
predevelopment value to be determined by the city council as of the time of preliminary plat 1691
application in accordance with the following: 1692
a. The city assessor shall recommend to the city council as to the fair market value of the land 1693
after consultation with the subdivider. 1694
b. If agreement is not reached between the city assessor and subdivider, the fair market value 1695
shall be determined in accordance with the following: 1696
1. Fair market value as determined by the city council based upon a current appraisal 1697
submitted to the city by the subdivider, at his their expense. The appraisal shall be made 1698
by appraisers who are approved members of SREA or MAI, or equivalent real estate 1699
societies. 1700
2. If the city disputes such appraisal amounts, it may obtain an appraisal of the property 1701
by a qualified real estate appraiser which the city council selects and which appraisal 1702
may be accepted by the city as being an accurate appraisal at fair market value. The cost 1703
of the appraisal shall be paid by the subdivider. 1704
c. The determination of fair market value of the undeveloped land by the city assessor, city 1705
council or designated appraisers shall be determined at the time of preliminary su bdivision 1706
approval, provided that there is final plat approval within the time limits as set forth in this 1707
chapter. The time of preliminary plat approval is utilized because the nature of the 1708
subdivision, its probable population, lot size and value, and other relevant factors are known. 1709
If an extension of the time limits in this chapter is approved by the city council, the fair 1710
market value shall be determined as of the time of the approval of that extension. In 1711
determining the fair market value as of time of preliminary plat application, or its extension, 1712
the factors to be included in the analysis shall include any and all factors which are generally 1713
accepted and used by approved members of SREA or MAI or equivalent real estate appraisal 1714
societies. 1715
(6) Future subdivision. Any land which is further subdivided, divided or replatted or applied for 1716
such subdivision, division or replatting subsequent to May 1, 1990, shall be subject to the 1717
requirements of the ordinance then in effect concerning dedication of land for public purposes; 1718
and credit shall be given for any charges previously imposed upon that land if the subdivider can 1719

prove that fees were previously paid. In no event shall the city be liable for any payment which 1720
may be due because of a subsequent reduction in the application percentage of land or equivalent 1721
market value in cash to be dedicated. 1722

1724
DIVISION 2. - LOTS 1725
1726
Sec. 82-251. -– Security Performance bond to include lot improvement. 1727
The security performance bond required shall include an amount to guarantee completion of all 1728
requirements contained in this division, including but not limited to erosion control, soil preservation, 1729
final grading, lot drainage, land stabilization, lawn-grass seeding, removal of debris and waste, fencing, 1730
and all other lot improvements required by the city. 1731
Sec. 82-252. - Lot arrangement. 1732
The lot arrangement shall be such that there will be no foreseeable difficulties, for reasons of 1733
topography or other conditions, in securing building permits to build on all lots in compliance with 1734
chapter 78 and in providing driveway access to buildings on such lots from an approved street. 1735
Sec. 82-253. - Lot dimensions. 1736
Lot dimensions shall comply with the minimum standards of chapter 78. Where lots are more than 1737
double the minimum required area for the zoning district, the city may require that such lots be arranged 1738
so as to allow further subdivision and the opening of future streets where they would be necessary to 1739
serve such potential lots, all in compliance with chapter 78. In general, side lot lines shall be at right 1740
angles to street lines (or radial to curving street lines) unless a variation from this rule will give a better 1741
street or lot plan. Dimensions of corner lots shall be large enough to allow for erection of buildings, 1742
observing the minimum front yard setback from both streets. Depth and width of properties reserved or 1743
laid out for business, commercial or industrial purposes shall be adequate to provide for the off -street 1744
parking and loading facilities required for the type of use and development contemplated, as established 1745
in chapter 78. Notwithstanding the required width of each lot, each lot shall maintain a minimum frontage 1746
of 18 feet on a public or private street, or access outlot. 1747
Sec. 82-254. - Lot area, minimum. 1748
1749
A. In areas not served by sanitary sewer, each lot must contain a minimum of two acres of 1750
contiguous Dry Buildable Land exclusive of public rights-of-way, vehicular easements, or areas 1751
at or below the floodplain elevation for a specific property. 1752
B. In areas served by sanitary sewer, each lot must contain contiguous Dry Buildable Land equal to 1753
the minimum areas as prescribed in chapter 78 or half -acre, whichever is less (exclusive of public rights-1754
of-way, vehicular easements, or areas at or below the floodplain elevation for a specific property), and 1755
have legal access to the building site without encroachment of a wetland or floodplain area. 1756
C. Outlots. Outlots are not intended for development except for the purpose in which they are 1757
created, which may include streets, stormwater management, monument signs, etc. Outlots intended for 1758
future development shall not be subject to development fees until they are platted as buildable lots. 1759
1760
The minimum area requirements for each proposed lot as prescribed in chapter 78. The lot area must 1761
also comply with chapter 58, article II. Public and private rights-of-way, vehicular or pedestrian 1762
easements, or surface areas below the ordinary high water mark of any surface water or wetlands or 1763
floodplain areas may not be used in order to meet any portion of the minimum lot area requiremen ts. 1764

The granting of easements which purport to grant access to the lake to any person for any uses, 1766
including but not limited to docking, mooring, swimming and launching of boats, is prohibited and shall 1767
be deemed a violation of this chapter and subject to all of the penalties and proceedings as set forth in this 1768
chapter. 1769
Exception. An owner of a riparian lot within the Seasonal Recreational (RS) zoning 1770
district may grant an easement over their riparian, RS zoned property to benefit a non -riparian, RS 1771
zoned property for lake access purposes. 1772
1773
Sec. 82-256. - Double-frontage lots, access to lots, and front/back lot divisions. 1774
(a) Double-frontage lots. Double-frontage and reversed-frontage lots shall be avoided except where 1775
necessary to provide separation of residential development from traffic arterials or to overcome 1776
specific disadvantages of topography and orientation. 1777
(b) Access from any arterial roadway. Lots shall not, in general, derive access exclusively from an arterial 1778
roadway. Where driveway access from any arterial roadway may be necessary for several adjoining 1779
lots, the council may require that such lots be served by a combined access drive in order to limit 1780
possible traffic hazard on such roadway. Where possible, driveways shall be designed and arranged so 1781
as to avoid requiring vehicles to back into traffic on any arterial roadway. 1782
(c) Front/back lot subdivisions. Flag lots and easement back lots shall not be created. For the purposes 1783
of this chapter, a flag lot shall be defined as a lot so shaped such that the main building site is set back 1784
from the street on which it fronts and includes an access strip connecting the main building site with 1785
the fronting street. Front/back lot divisions shall be allowed only in conjunction with the creation of 1786
a separate n outlot to provide access from the back lot to the public or private road. Such outlot shall 1787
not be allowed as creditable lot area for either the back or front lots. Front/back lot subdivisions shall 1788
adhere to the following standards: 1789
(1) Applicability. 1790
a. Front/back lot divisions may be used when existing property dimensions are narrow and 1791
deep, such that lot width does not allow for a side-by-side lot split, but acreage is adequate 1792
to provide a front lot and a back lot without requiring an area variance when the area of the 1793
outlot access corridor is excluded. 1794
b. Front/back lot divisions may be used for individual lot splits but may not be used when 1795
subdividing a large parcel into numerous lots if creation of a back lot is merely a convenience 1796
to the developer rather than supported by unique site factors. 1797
c. A front/back lot division shall not be allowed when any existing residence on a neighboring 1798
property abutting the proposed access outlot is located nearer its affected side lot line than a 1799
distance equivalent to the zoning district required front yard depth. 1800
(2) Dimensional standards. Dimensional standards for back lots shall be as follows: 1801
a. Lot area shall be 150 percent of the zoning district requirement. Wetlands may be allowed 1802
as area credit for meeting the 150 percent back lot area requirement, as long as the back lot 1803
contains sufficient contiguous dry buildable land to satisfy the minimum acreage 1804
requirement of the underlying zoning district. 1805
b. Lot width measured parallel to the front or street lot line at the street yard setback line of a 1806
lakeshore back lot, or at the rear of the front yard setback line of a non -lakeshore back lot, 1807
shall meet the zoning district width requirement. The street yard or front yard for any back 1808
lot will be a yard starting where the narrow access outlot corridor ends and the lot begins. 1809
Commented [JB107]: Added in 2020.
Commented [JB108]: Define flag lot
July 20, 2020 page 42
Lakeshore back lots shall meet the lot width standard at the shoreline, at the lakeshore 1810
setback line and at the street yard setback line. 1811
c. The depth of the required street yard or front yard shall be 150 percent of the zoning district 1812
front yard requirement. 1813
d. The required side yard and rear yard depths for back lots shall be 150 percent of the zoning 1814
district yard requirements. The required lakeshore yard of a lakeshore back lot shall meet the 1815
zoning district lakeshore yard requirements. 1816
(3) Dimensional standards for front lots. A front lot created as part of a front/back lot division shall 1817
meet all zoning district area, width and setback standards; except that the required side yard of 1818
the front lot adjacent to the access outlot shall be equivalent to the side street yard requirement 1819
for that zoning district. 1820
(4) Access requirements. 1821
a. Access outlots shall be 30 feet minimum width, and shall be wide enough to accommodate 1822
drainage, snow removal and screening without encroaching on neighboring properties. In 1823
no case shall an outlot be narrower than 30 feet in width. 1824
b. In approving front/back lot divisions, the city may require that both front lot and back lot 1825
share a driveway access within the access outlot if the council determines that creating an 1826
additional access to the existing street will be a potential safety hazard. 1827
c. Driveways within a back lot shall be located at least ten feet from the side or rear lot lines of 1828
adjacent lots. 1829
d. No more than two residences may be served by a driveway located within an access outlot. 1830
e. No access outlot may be platted abutting an adjacent outlot except when the intent is to 1831
combine the two access outlots for creation of a public or private road meeting city standards. 1832
(5) Screening requirements and accessory structure standards. Front/back lot subdivisions shall be 1833
designed in a manner such that the screening requirements and accessory structure standards of 1834
section 78-1370 can be met. 1835
(36) Effective date. The requirements and standards of this section shall apply only to those 1836
front/back lot divisions which received preliminary plat approval after January 1, 1994. 1837
Sec. 82-257. - Soil preservation, grading and seeding. 1838
(a) Soil preservation and final grading. No certificate of occupancy shall be issued until final grading 1839
has been completed in accordance with the approved final subdivision and the lot precovered with soil 1840
with an average depth of at least six inches, which shall contain no particles over two inches in diameter 1841
over the entire area of the lot, except that portion covered by buildings or included in streets, or where 1842
the grade has not been changed or natural vegetation seriously damaged. Topsoil shall not be removed 1843
from residential lots or used as spoil but shall be redistributed so as to provide at least three inches of 1844
cover on the lots and boulevards. 1845
(b) Lawn-grass seed and sod. All disturbed areas shall be stabilized with a vegetative mix approved by 1846
the city engineer. Lawn-grass seed shall be sown at not less than four pounds to each 1,000 square 1847
feet of land area. The seed shall consist of a maximum of ten percent rye grass by weight and a 1848
minimum of 90 percent of permanent bluegrass and/or fescue grass by weight. All seed shall have 1849
been tested for germination within one year of the date of seeding, and the date of testing shall be on 1850
the label containing the seed analysis. All lots shall be seeded from the roadside edge of the unpaved 1851
right-of-way back to a distance of 25 feet behind the principal residence on the lot. No certificate of 1852
occupancy shall be issued until the disturbed areas meet the standard of Final Stabilization, as defined 1853
in Section 79-5 respreading of soil and seeding of lawn has been completed; except that during the 1854

period of the year when seed cannot be sown, the property owner and/or developer shall submit an 1855
agreement in writing to assure that respreading of soil and seeding of lawn will be done during the 1856
immediate following planting season, and shall leave a security in a form acceptable to the city for 1857
performance in such an amount as shall be determined by the city. The developer may choose to 1858
include final lot grading and required lawn grass seeding improvements in a subdivider's 1859

performance in such an amount as shall be determined by the city. Sod may be used to comply with 1861
any requirements of seeding set forth in this section. 1862
(c) Lot drainage. Lots shall be graded so as to provide positive drainage away from all buildings, and 1863
individual lot drainage shall be coordinated with the general storm drainage pattern for the area. 1864
Drainage shall be designed so as to avoid concentration of storm drainage water from each lot to 1865
adjacent lots. 1866
Sec. 82-258. - Debris and waste. 1867
No cut trees, timber, debris, earth, rocks, stones, soil, junk, rubbish or other waste materials of any 1868
kind shall be buried in any land, or left or deposited on any lot or street at the time of the issuance of a 1869
certificate of occupancy on a subdivision, nor shall any be left or deposited in any area of the subdivision 1870
at the time of expiration of the performance bondsecurity or dedication of public improvements, 1871
whichever is sooner. 1872
Sec. 82-259. - Water bodies and watercourses. 1873
If a tract being subdivided contains a body of water, marsh, wetlands, etc., or a portion of such areas, 1874
lot lines shall be so drawn as to distribute the entire ownership of those areas among the fee owners of 1875
adjacent lots. The council may approve an alternative plan whereby the ownership of and responsibility 1876
for safe maintenance of those areas is so placed that it will not become the city's responsibility. Where a 1877
watercourse separates the buildable area of a lot from the street by which it has access, provisions shall be 1878
made for installation of a culvert or other structure, of a design approved by the city. 1879

DIVISION 3. - ROADS AND PUBLIC WAYS 1882
1883
Sec. 82-281. - Design standards. 1884
(a) Generally. In order to provide for roads of suitable location, width and improvement to accommodate 1885
prospective traffic and afford satisfactory access to police, firefighting, snow removal, sanitation and 1886
road maintenance equipment, and to coordinate roads so as to compose a convenient system and avoid 1887
undue hardships to adjoining properties, the following design standards for roads are required: 1888
(1) Road surfacing and improvements. After the sewer and water utilities have been installed by the 1889
subdivider, the subdivider shall construct all road pavement, shoulders, drainage improvements 1890
and structures, curbs, culs-de-sac, and sidewalks in conformance with all construction standards 1891
and specifications adopted by the city and shall be incorporated into the constructi on plans 1892
required to be submitted to the subdivider for final subdivision approval. 1893
(2) Rights-of-way. Rights-of-way shall be in accordance with the following performance standard: 1894
a. Minimum right-of-way widths. 1895
Principal arterial, intermediate arterial As recommended by the State Department of Transportation
Minor arterial 80 feet
Collector 70 feet
Local 50 feet

Parkway 100 feet
Culs-de-sac 50 feet radius
1896
b. Rights-of-way are needed for future roadways in the opinion of the city. 1897
c. Right-of-way widths or additional widths in existing rights-of-way in excess of the standards 1898
designated in this chapter when, due to topography, additional width is necessary to provide 1899
adequate earth slopes. Such slopes shall not be in excess of 3:1. 1900
(b) Railroads and limited-access roadways. Railroad rights-of-way and limited-access roadways where 1901
so located as to affect the subdivision of adjoining lands shall be treated as follows: 1902
(1) In residential districts, a buffer strip at least 25 feet in depth in addition to the normal depth of 1903
the lot required in the district shall be provided adjacent to the railroad right-of-way or limited-1904
access roadway. 1905
(2) In districts zoned for business, commercial or industrial uses, the nearest street extending parallel 1906
or approximately parallel to the railroad shall be at a sufficient distance to ensure suitable depth 1907
for commercial or industrial sites. 1908
(3) Streets parallel to the railroad when intersecting a street which crosses the railroad at grade shall 1909
be at a distance of at least 150 feet from the railroad right-of-way. Such distance shall be 1910
determined with due consideration of the minimum distance required for future separation of 1911
grades by means of appropriate approach gradients. 1912
(4) Streets Roadways crossing the railroads shall be avoided. 1913
(c) Intersections. 1914
(1) StreetsRoadways shall be laid out so as to intersect as nearly as possible at right angles. A 1915

(a) Access to improved public or private roadways. No subdivision shall be approved unless the area to 1956
be subdivided shall have adequate access from an existing publicly dedicated and opened roadway or 1957
on a private roadway open to travel or vehicular use pursuant to an easement between persons or 1958
between persons and the city. Such roadway must be suitably improved as required by the city, the 1959
stateState or the county. If the public roadway, including but not limited to existing bridges, drainage 1960
structures, lighting, shoulders, base, pavement, alignment or sight distance, is not suitable to handle 1961
the proposed additional vehicular traffic from the subdivision, the subdivider at theirhis expense will 1962
be responsible for first improving the public roadway to a standard acceptable to the city, to ensure 1963
that the health, safety and welfare of the citizens presently using the roadway and in the future will be 1964
protected and will not be adversely affected by the increased use of the roadway caused by the 1965
subdivision. This improvement shall be accomplished prior to final subdivision approval unless the 1966
city agrees and the subdivider provides a suitable performance bondBond to complete the 1967
improvements in the subdivider's agreementdevelopment contract. 1968
(b) Access to improved public roadways over existing private roadways. Wherever the area to be 1969
subdivided is to utilize an existing private roadway in order to gain access to the public roadway, such 1970

city engineer, in accordance with the construction plans required to be submitted prior to final 1975
subdivision approval. 1976
(b) Topography and arrangement. 1977
(1) Roadways shall be related appropriately to the topography. Roadways shall be curved wherever 1978
possible to avoid conformity of lot appearance. All roadways shall be arranged so as to obtain as 1979
many as possible of the building sites at or above the grades of the street. Grades of streets shall 1980
conform as closely as possible to the original topography. A combination of steep grades and 1981
curves shall be avoided. 1982
(2) All streets shall be properly integrated with the existing and proposed system of thoroughfares 1983
and dedicated rights-of-way as established in the comprehensive municipal planCommunity 1984

(3) All thoroughfares shall be properly related to specific traffic generators, such as industries, 1986
business districts, schools, churches, and shopping centers; to population densities; and to the 1987
pattern of existing and proposed land uses. 1988
(4) Roadways shall be laid out to conform as much as possible to the topography, to discourage use 1989
by through traffic, to permit efficient drainage and utility systems, and to require the minimum 1990
number of roadways necessary to provide convenient and safe access to property. 1991
(5) The gridiron roadway pattern need not necessarily be adhered to, and the use of curvilinear 1992
roadways or U-shaped roadways shall be encouraged where such use will result in a more 1993
desirable layout. 1994
(6) Culs-de-sacs shall be discouraged; proposed roadways shall be extended to the boundary lines 1995
of the tract to be subdivided unless prevented by topography or other physical conditions or unless 1996

feet long where deemed essential to provide circulation of access to schools, playgrounds, 2016
shopping centers, transportation or other community facilities. Blocks designed for industrial uses 2017
shall be of such length and width as may be determined suitable by the city for prospective use. 2018
(d) Access to primary arterials. Where a subdivision borders on or contains an existing or proposed 2019
arterial, the city may require that access to such roadways be limited by one of the following means: 2020
(1) The subdivision of lots so as to back onto the arterials and front onto a parallel local or collector 2021
roadway; no access shall be provided from the arterial, and screening shall be provided in a strip 2022
of land along the rear property line of such lots. 2023
(2) A series of culs-de-sacs, U-shaped streets, or short loops entered from and designed generally at 2024
right angles to such a parallel street, with the rear lines of their terminal lots backing onto the 2025
arterial. 2026

between adjacent properties when such continuation is necessary for access, convenient 2045
movement of traffic, effective fire protection, for efficient provision of utilities, and where such 2046
continuation is in accordance with the city comprehensive municipal planCommunity 2047
Management Plan. If the adjacent property is undeveloped and the street must be a dead-end street 2048
temporarily, the right-of-way shall be extended to the property line and a temporary cul de sac 2049
provided. The city may limit the length of temporary dead-end streets in accordance with this 2050
chapter. 2051
(2) Dead-end roads (permanent). Where a road does not extend to the boundary of the subdivision 2052
and its continuation is not required by the city for access to adjoining property, its terminus shall 2053
normally not be nearer to such boundary than 50 feet. However, the city may require the 2054
reservation of an appropriate easement to accommodate drainage facilities, pedestrian traffic or 2055
utilities. A cul-de-sac shall be provided at the end of a permanent dead-end street in accordance 2056

seem right.

Mark,
Thanks for your comment. We’ve always excluded slopes greater than 18% from the dry buildable
calculation, but we only do the calculation at the time of platting, not when the house is proposed/
built. The changes we propose align the subdivision code definition with the existing zoning code
definition.
I will share your comment with the City Council.

Subject: RE: Subdivision Code
Jeremy: My main concern after reading through this is the definition of dry buildable area excluding
slopes over 18%. A typical walkout house drops 9 feet in 40 feet which is a 22.5% slope. When we
regrade lots in a new subdivision the maximum allowed slope is 3:1 which is 33.3% slope. You could
have new houses built on a buildable lot and then after grading a bunch of areas then don’t qualify
for dry buildable. I have seen in some cities where slopes over 18% (steep slopes) need to be
accounted for in erosion control and seeding but I see a lot of problems in excluding 18% slopes
from dry buildable. In all the subdivisions I have worked on in Orono this has never been excluded in
the past.

1. Purpose: To adopt the Orono CARES for School Grant Program
Background: The City of Orono has been issued $610,407 as a part of the CARES Act money issued by
the State. This money was calculated by total jurisdiction population. This funding has limitations on how
it is spent and must meet those requirements or be returned to the Hennepin County for redistribution to
the Hennepin County Medical Center. The school districts also received cares act money, however it
varies greatly from district to district based on “Title Student Population” not on total student population.
This is leaving local school districts with substantial financial burdens to accommodate for COVID
related expenditures that are placed on the local tax payers.
The Orono CARES for Schools Grant program has been developed to assist the school districts in
some of the COVID related expenditures by granting the Schools the City’s unexpended CARES Act
money. The School expenditures must meet the same criteria as city COVID expenditures. In discussing
with the two largest School Districts these funds will lessen the burden to the area tax payers. The funds
are being distributed based on the percent of Orono Taxable Market Value within each school district.
School districts with over 5% of the taxable market value are eligible to receive funding. The Orono
School District is eligible receive 64.81% of the available funding and the Westonka School District is
eligible for 35.19%.
The Grant process will require the adoption of the attached agreement by the Orono School
District and the Westonka School Districts.

AGENDA ITEM
Prepared By: DJR Reviewed By: DJR Approved By: DJR
1. Purpose: To authorize purchase of Rescue Extrication equipment by Long Lake Fire Department
Background: The City of Long Lake has applied some of Chief Van Eyll’s wages towards CARES Act
Funding. This transition provides additional funds within the budget that would typically be returned to
the partner cities. Long Lake fire is proposing to utilize some of these additional funds to improve/replace
equipment within the fire department. This request is a change to budget allocations as adopted by the
City and is also considered a capital purchase. The details of the equipment purchase request are provided
in Exhibit A.
2. Staff Recommendation: Approve the capital expenditure purchase for rescue extrication equipment
in the amount of $23,750.
COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED
Motion to approve the capital expenditure purchase for rescue extrication equipment in the amount of
$23,750.

The Long Lake Fire Department would like to replace our older extrication tools on R-12
(heavy rescue). We should have a surplus of funds at the end of the year due to the
CARES Act covering some of my salary among other items. The older extrication tools
currently don’t meet NFPA 1936-2020 standard for extrication tools. This standard has
been updated to ensure all extrication tool manufactures are on the same level playing
field when testing and meeting standards in recent years.
A few of the key areas where the current Hurst Centaur extrication tools are failing are:
1. Tool set purchased in 2003, 17 years old
2. Low pressure of 9,140 PSI; this is considerably lower than the current industry high
pressure standard of 10,400 PSI.
3. Single-walled hoses leading to potential of serious injury if the hoses under pressure are
cut or severed. All current hoses on the market are built with a minimum of double-
walled construction; if the outside layer gets cut or severed, the pump shuts down
automatically.
4. Current Hurst cutter is not able to cut Boron metals, which a large variety of cars use in
the roof structures, including A, B and C pillars. Most older cutters have issues with
cutting Titanium and Iridium metals, which are also used in vehicle structures.
5. Restricted to 75’ of hose connected to the hose reel on the truck.
6. Current pump on the truck only allows for 1 tool to work at a time to provide maximum
working pressure. You can run multiple tools, but the working pressure drops, and tools
become slow or ineffective.
7. Our current cutter is rated at A6/B7/C7/D6/E7 and the new Genesis cutter is rated at
A8/B9/C8/D9/E9. The higher the numbers the more pressure the tool can produce
which results in faster cutting times.
Our recommendation is to purchase the following replacement Genesis extrication tools,
which are the same extrication equipment on Engine 22:
GENESIS S53 SPREADER EFORCE 2.0 COMES WITH BATTERY, SPARE
BATTERY $11,550.00
GENESIS C236 NXTGEN CUTTER EFORCE 2.0 WITH BATTERY, SPARE
BATTERY $11,750.00
MILWAUKEE TOOL 48-59-0280 M28 VOLT 3 BAY CHARGER $275.00

The Genesis C236 cutter is Boron-rated and is one of the highest rated tools on the
market today. Having battery powered tools will give us flexibility to use multiple tools
simultaneously and in different rescue-type situations that having a hose hooked to the
truck prevented us from performing the tasks in the past. Examples include: freeing a leg
from a patient that, in the middle of the night, slipped between the toilet and vanity; a
patient that was working on his boat and got stuck in his engine compartment area and
needed help getting free; having a car in a ditch further down than you can position the
truck; and the need for a quick, forceable entry to a building.
