AGENDA ITEM
Prepared By: MLU Reviewed By: MLU Approved By: DJR
1. Purpose. The purpose of this action item is to approve the 2021 General Fund Budget, Tax Levy,
and the 2021 Special Revenue Fund Budgets.
2. Background. Prior to the adoption of the 2021 budget and tax levy, the City is required to hold a
public hearing to allow public input on the budget and tax levy. By law, this hearing must occur between
November 25th and December 28th. When the preliminary tax levy and budget was approved in
September, the public hearing was set for December 7, 2020 at 6:00 pm. This public hearing is the final
step prior to adoption of the budget and tax levy.
The budget process was begun by staff at the beginning of June. At a work session held on July 22nd, the
Council was provided background information on the budget and an overview of the budget challenges for
2021. Over the summer, a draft budget was prepared and reviewed by the Council at work sessions in
August. In September, the preliminary budget and tax levy was publically presented and adopted at the
council meeting of September 28th.
In addition to the work on the actual budget, staff has been working on updating the Capital Improvement
Plan (CIP). The CIP identifies the long-term infrastructure needs and is a valuable tool in the budgeting
process. The CIP will also be approve as part of tonight’s meeting.
In conjunction with the budget process, staff has also been reviewing the fee schedule. The 2021 fee
schedule, as currently amended, will be adopted at tonight’s meeting.
Tax Levy
The total tax levy required to fund the 2021 budget is $6,610,620. This is an increase of $603,170 or 10%
over the 2020 levy. The increase includes an additional $132,550 for road maintenance and reconstruction;
reflecting the Council’s desire to establish a long term funding solution for the City’s road infrastructure.
Added to the tax levy this year includes funding towards the Building Fund and Parks Fund, of $310,000
for development, improvements and repairs for buildings and $50,000 for parks, respectively. There is a
slight increase of $1,400 for the 2014 bond and a slight decrease of $195 for the 2016 bond. The remaining
increase of $242,140 is an increase to the General Fund operating levy. Overall, the tax rate is slightly
increasing from 16.512% to 16.765%. Orono continues to have one of the lowest tax rates in both Hennepin
County (ranking 41 of 45 cities), and the State of Minnesota.
The tax levy is used to fund the general operations of the City (General Fund), pay the debt service on the
City’s outstanding bonds, and fund the Pavement Management Fund, Building Fund and Parks Fund. A
levy amount of $6,610,620 was approved in the preliminary tax levy. This has not changed in the final tax
levy. The breakdown of the 2019 levy is $579,480 for debt service, $750,000 for roads, $310,000 for
buildings, $50,000 for parks and the remaining $4,921,140 is used in the General Fund.

AGENDA ITEM
Prepared By: MLU Reviewed By: MLU Approved By: DJR
Tax Capacity Rate and the Impact of the Tax Levy on Property Owners
The County Assessor provides an annual calculation of the City’s tax capacity based on the annual
property revaluation. As of August 20, 2020, the City’s taxable market value is $3,432,437,494 with a
tax capacity of $$39,438,081. When compared to last year, taxable market value has increased by 7.86%
and the tax capacity by 8.37%. As a result of the City’s increased tax capacity, the tax capacity rate will
increase from 16.512% in 2020 to 16.765% in 2021. Using this tax rate and assuming no change in a
property’s value, the City’s share of the property tax bill would be: an increase of $28.79 (7.41%) on a
home previously valued at $250,000; an increase in tax of $65.04 (7.88%) on a $500,000 home; a
$1,000,000 home will see an increase of $133.24 (7.17%); and a $2,000,000 home has an increase of
$269.65 (6.88%). The actual tax impact on any particular property will depend on how the property’s
taxable value changed in relation to the rest of the City. Tables illustrating a 5% increase in value and a
5% decrease in value are included in this budget document.
General Fund Budget
General Fund Expenditures
The 2021 expenditure budget is $9,260,500 which is an increase of $ 117,300 (1.3%) over the 2020
budget.
The significant increase is the following: Building Inspection Service (Professional Services) is
increasing $155,700 (10.53%). This is due to having the building official position in house transition to
outsourcing the duties. Therefore, there is only a slight increase in Wages and Benefits (Personal
Services) of $55,300 (0.96%) while the Cost of Living increases 3%.
The significant decrease is as follows: Distribution to Other Government (Other Expenses) is $116,200
(23.29%). The change was to the accounting for the Toward Zero Deaths Grant. The City was not
designated as the authorized representative in 2021. After accounting for these more significant increases
and decreases, the remaining General Fund increases the total of $22,500 or 0.25%.
General Fund Revenues
For revenues, the General Fund budget also totals $9,260,500 and is increasing by $117,300 (1.3%). The
largest increase in revenues is the property tax line at $247,140. Coop Police Services are increasing by
$25,060 and are the amounts charged to the City of Spring Park, Minnetonka Beach and Mound for
providing them police services.
The significant decrease include $130,000 in the State Grant line item which was also discussed in the
expenditure section. All other revenue changes total $24,900 and represent an increase of 0.27% of the
revenue budget.
Special Revenue Funds
The special revenue funds that budgets are adopted for are the Park Fund, The Drug Forfeiture Fund, and
the TIF Fund. Special revenue funds by definition have a primary source of revenue that is dedicated for
a specific purpose. In the Park Fund the primary revenue source is park dedication fees collected from
developers. By state law, these funds must be used for parkland acquisition and development. The Drug
Forfeiture Fund receives its primary funding from the Police Department’s drug and alcohol enforcement
activities. The funds must be used for drug and alcohol related activities. The TIF Fund is used to
account for revenues related to the Orono Woods Senior Housing Development.
AGENDA ITEM
Prepared By: MLU Reviewed By: MLU Approved By: DJR
Debt Service Levies
The 2021 levy for debt service is $579,480. This levy is used to pay the debt service on the City’s
outstanding bonds.
Enterprise Funds
The Water, Sewer, Stormwater, and Recycling Funds are designed to account for the business type
activities of the City. These funds do not receive any property tax revenue. The goal for the Enterprise
funds is to be fully funded by rates without depending on special assessments for infrastructure
improvements.
While there is no formal adoption of the expenditure budgets, the information is included in the budget
book. On the revenue side of the budget, the utility rates are approved annually as part of the fee
schedule. The utility rate increases being recommended are Water 10%; Sewer 10%, Stormwater 1%, and
Recycling by 8%. Additionally, based on the area (North, South, Wayzata, or Long Lake), the sewer and
water will be charged accordingly. Due to transition to monthly billing, the tiers have also been rounded
to the nearest hundredth gallons. The utility rates will be approved December 7th as part of the 2021 Fee
Schedule.
Water
The water fund has historically been operating at a loss. Because depreciation is a non-cash expenditure,
the fund has had a positive operating cash flow since 2009. In previous years, the operating loss has been
covered by the revenue received from antenna leases on the water towers. The revenue from the antenna
leases has been moved out of the Water budget since 2018 and this revenue decrease has been recovered
through water rates.
As presented, the operating budget for 2021 will have an operating loss of $112,765. The expenditure
budget is increasing by $55,350 (5.6%). $15,300 is due to Wages and Benefits. The operating transfer of
$55,000 is to the debt service fund supporting the Casco Point Bonds ($55,000). The non-operating interest
expense is for the interest on the 2014 Water Bonds.
2021 capital expenditures as identified in the 2021 CIP include a water main replacement at Walters Port
and water valve replacements. The 2021 capital expenditures total $420,500. The Water Fund’s anticipated
cash balance for the fund at the end of 2020 is 267,887.
Sewer
In recent years, the sewer fund has mostly operated at a loss. Non-operating revenues however, have
consistently offset the operating losses. This has resulted in a positive operating cash flow for the fund.
The single largest expense for the sewer fund is the Met Council disposal charges. The five years have
seen increases in the amounts of $37,410 (9.5%), $41,276 (9.6%), $82,147 (17.4%), $64,035 (11.5%) and
$81,200 (13.1%) respectively. This is a 77.6% increase in five years. As has been discussed with the
Council during previous budget processes, heavy rains and high water tables increase the flow through the
MCES lift stations and increase our disposal charges.
The total operating expenditure budget is increasing by $112,700 (5.91%) The major increases are the
previously mentioned MCES charges ($81,200). The operating transfer of $115,000 is to cover the sewer
improvements that were part of the Casco Point project and will continue for another four years.
AGENDA ITEM
Prepared By: MLU Reviewed By: MLU Approved By: DJR
Upcoming capital expenditures can be covered by the fund’s current cash balances. Projects identified in
the CIP for 2021 include: Annual sewer rehabilitation ($290,000), additional generators ($75,000), grinder
station ($20,000), lift station updates ($120,000), additional road project adjustments ($63,000), sewer
meter installation into Long Lake, and force main replacement for Tonkawa ($225,000), for a total of
$833,000. The anticipated cash balance for the fund at the end of 2020 is $2,019,555.
Stormwater
The Stormwater Fund is for the most part project based. Operating expenditures are mainly limited to
engineering associated with NPDES, SWPPP and other state and federal requirements. Public Works time
and materials spent on culvert cleaning/replacement are also charged to this fund. The purpose of this
fund is to collect money for the larger Stormwater projects that will be required in the future. The
attached five-year projection assumes a 10% annual increase.
Potential CIP projects in 2021 include: Casco Circle ($49,380), Park Lane & Elm Street ($26,190),
Navarre West Road and East Roads ($88,855), Eileen Street ($7,725), manhole rebuilds ($35,000), Casco
Point Park Outlet ($58,000), South Casco Point Road sump ($36,000), Casco Point Park Bioretention
basin ($55,000), Fagerness Point Road drainage system ($80,000), and Storm Sewer Improvements
($50,000). The capital expenditures total $536,150. The anticipated cash balance for the fund at the end
of 2020 is $1,433,719.
Recycling
The recycling funds major expenditure line is for contracted recycling charges. The current contract with
Waste Management is increasing 4%. The Recycled Materials has weakened in the past few years since
2018. The full time wages that are charged to the fund represent 10% of the City Clerks wages. The
anticipated cash balance for the fund at the end of 2020 is $70,382.
Cable
The Cable funds projected revenues are based on current subscriber information and rates. The line item
for Internet/Other communications covers the costs associated with streaming and online access of
council meetings. It has been increased to pay for the increased cost of our fiber internet connection.
Revenue for the fund is in the from franchise fees that are set by the City’s franchise agreement with
Mediacom. The current cash balance of the fund is $169,102.
Construction Funds
The City does not adopt formal budgets for construction funds. Possible projects for these funds can be
found in the CIP. The CIP is a planning tool only; approval of the CIP not approve or authorize any
purchases. The projects identified in it will require individual approval from the Council before they can
be started.
Capital Improvement Plan
In 2012 the City formally adopted a Capital Improvement Plan (CIP). In order to keep the CIP useful, it
is updated on a yearly basis. An updated copy of the CIP for 2020 is included with this memo and will be
approved tonight. The CIP is a planning document only and approval of the CIP does not constitute
approval of any expenditures.
There are two main focusses of the CIP. First is the CIP items that have been identified as needs by staff.
The Second is available funding for the CIP. Many funding sources are not adequate to fund the CIP
items so funding will need to be secured prior to moving forward with the projects.
AGENDA ITEM
Prepared By: MLU Reviewed By: MLU Approved By: DJR
The funding for the Street CIP includes an additional $300,000 in tax levy starting in 2023. In that year,
the levy needed for debt service will decrease by $300,000 and by transferring the levy to the CIP, there
will be adequate funding for roads. This increased levy for the CIP will require Council approval at that
time.
3. Staff Recommendation. Staff recommends approval of the attached budget resolutions setting the
2021 Property Tax Levy, the 2021 General Fund Budget, the 2021 Special Revenue Fund Budgets, and
the 2021 Enterprise Fund Budgets.

Budget Process
The budget process began in the beginning of
June. At a work session held on July 22nd, the
Council was provided background
information on the budget and an overview of
the budget challenges for 2021. Over the
summer, a draft budget was prepared and
reviewed by the Council at the August work
session. In September, the preliminary
budget and tax levy was publically presented
and adopted at the council meeting of
September 28th.
Prior to the adoption of the 2021 budget and
tax levy, the City is required to hold a public
hearing to allow public input on the budget
and tax levy. By law, this hearing must occur
between November 25th and December 28th.
When the preliminary tax levy and budget
was approved in September, the public
hearing was set for December 7, 2020 at 6:00
pm. The final budget and tax levy was
adopted at the conclusion of the public
hearing.
In addition to the work on the actual budget,
staff has been working on updating the
Capital Improvement Plan (CIP). The CIP
identifies the long-term infrastructure needs
and is a valuable tool in the budgeting
process. The CIP was also approved as part
of the December 7th meeting.
In conjunction with the budget process, staff
has also reviewed the fee schedule. The 2021
fee schedule, as amended, was adopted on
December 7th.
Tax Levy
The total tax levy required to fund the 2021
budget is $6,610,620. This is an increase of
$603,170 or 10% over the 2020 levy. The
increase includes an additional $132,550 for
road maintenance and reconstruction;
reflecting the Council’s desire to establish a
long term funding solution for the City’s road
infrastructure. Added to the tax levy this year
includes funding towards the Building Fund
and Parks Fund, of $310,000 for
development, improvements and repairs for
buildings and $50,000 for parks,
respectively. There is a slight increase of
$1,400 for the 2014 bond and a slight
decrease of $195 for the 2016 bond. The
remaining increase of $242,140 is an increase
to the General Fund operating levy. Overall,
the tax rate is slightly increasing from
16.512% to 16.765%. Orono continues to
have one of the lowest tax rates in both
Hennepin County (ranking 41 of 45 cities),
and the State of Minnesota.
The tax levy is used to fund the general
operations of the City (General Fund), pay
the debt service on the City’s outstanding
bonds, and fund the Pavement Management
Fund, Building Fund and Parks Fund. A levy
amount of $6,610,620 was approved in the
preliminary tax levy. This has not changed in
the final tax levy. The breakdown of the 2019
levy is $579,480 for debt service, $750,000
for roads, $310,000 for buildings, $50,000
for parks and the remaining $4,921,140 is
used in the General Fund.
Tax Capacity Rate and the Impact of the
Tax Levy on Property Owners
The County Assessor provides an annual
calculation of the City’s tax capacity based
on the annual property revaluation. As of
August 20, 2020, the City’s taxable market
value is $3,432,437,494 with a tax capacity
of $$39,438,081. When compared to last
year, taxable market value has increased by
7.86% and the tax capacity by 8.37%. As a
result of the City’s increased tax capacity, the
tax capacity rate will increase from 16.512%
in 2020 to 16.765% in 2021. Using this tax
rate and assuming no change in a property’s
value, the City’s share of the property tax bill
would be: an increase of $28.79 (7.41%) on
a home previously valued at $250,000; an
increase in tax of $65.04 (7.88%) on a
City of Orono - 2021 Budget Page 3
$500,000 home; a $1,000,000 home will see
an increase of $133.24 (7.17%); and a
$2,000,000 home has an increase of $269.65
(6.88%). The actual tax impact on any
particular property will depend on how the
property’s taxable value changed in relation
to the rest of the City. Tables illustrating a
5% increase in value and a 5% decrease in
value are included in this budget document.
General Fund Budget
General Fund Expenditures
The 2021 expenditure budget is $9,260,500
which is an increase of $ 117,300 (1.3%) over
the 2020 budget.
The significant increase is the following:
Building Inspection Service (Professional
Services) is increasing $155,700 (10.53%).
This is due to having the building official
position in house transition to outsourcing the
duties. Therefore, there is only a slight
increase in Wages and Benefits (Personal
Services) of $55,300 (0.96%) while the Cost
of Living increases 3%.
The significant decrease is as follows:
Distribution to Other Government (Other
Expenses) is $116,200 (23.29%). The change
was to the accounting for the Toward Zero
Deaths Grant. The City was not designated as
the authorized representative in 2021. After
accounting for these more significant
increases and decreases, the remaining
General Fund increases the total of $22,500
or 0.25%.
General Fund Revenues
For revenues, the General Fund budget also
totals $9,260,500 and is increasing by
$117,300 (1.3%). The largest increase in
revenues is the property tax line at $247,140.
Coop Police Services are increasing by
$25,060 and are the amounts charged to the
City of Spring Park, Minnetonka Beach and
Mound for providing them police services.
The significant decrease include $130,000 in
the State Grant line item which was also
discussed in the expenditure section. All
other revenue changes total $24,900 and
represent an increase of 0.27% of the revenue
budget.
Special Revenue Funds
The special revenue funds that budgets are
adopted for are the Park Fund, The Drug
Forfeiture Fund, and the TIF Fund. Special
revenue funds by definition have a primary
source of revenue that is dedicated for a
specific purpose. In the Park Fund the
primary revenue source is park dedication
fees collected from developers. By state law,
these funds must be used for parkland
acquisition and development. The Drug
Forfeiture Fund receives its primary funding
from the Police Department’s drug and
alcohol enforcement activities. The funds
must be used for drug and alcohol related
activities. The TIF Fund is used to account
for revenues related to the Orono Woods
Senior Housing Development.
Debt Service Levies
The 2021 levy for debt service is $579,480.
This levy is used to pay the debt service on
the City’s outstanding bonds.
Enterprise Funds
The Water, Sewer, Stormwater, and
Recycling Funds are designed to account for
the business type activities of the City. These
funds do not receive any property tax
revenue. The goal for the Enterprise funds is
to be fully funded by rates without depending
on special assessments for infrastructure
improvements.
While there is no formal adoption of the
expenditure budgets, the information is
included in the budget book. On the revenue
side of the budget, the utility rates are
City of Orono - 2021 Budget Page 4
approved annually as part of the fee schedule.
The utility rate increases being recommended
are Water 10%; Sewer 10%, Stormwater 1%,
and Recycling by 8%. Additionally, based on
the area (North, South, Wayzata, or Long
Lake), the sewer and water will be charged
accordingly. Due to transition to monthly
billing, the tiers have also been rounded to the
nearest hundredth gallons. The utility rates
will be approved December 7th as part of the
2021 Fee Schedule.
Water
The water fund has historically been
operating at a loss. Because depreciation is a
non-cash expenditure, the fund has had a
positive operating cash flow since 2009. In
previous years, the operating loss has been
covered by the revenue received from
antenna leases on the water towers. The
revenue from the antenna leases has been
moved out of the Water budget since 2018
and this revenue decrease has been recovered
through water rates.
As presented, the operating budget for 2021
will have an operating loss of $112,765. The
expenditure budget is increasing by $55,350
(5.6%). $15,300 is due to Wages and
Benefits. The operating transfer of $55,000 is
to the debt service fund supporting the Casco
Point Bonds ($55,000). The non-operating
interest expense is for the interest on the 2014
Water Bonds.
2021 capital expenditures as identified in the
2021 CIP include a water main replacement
at Walters Port and water valve replacements.
The 2021 capital expenditures total
$420,500. The Water Fund’s anticipated cash
balance for the fund at the end of 2020 is
267,887.
Sewer
In recent years, the sewer fund has mostly
operated at a loss. Non-operating revenues
however, have consistently offset the
operating losses. This has resulted in a
positive operating cash flow for the fund.
The single largest expense for the sewer fund
is the Met Council disposal charges. The five
years have seen increases in the amounts of
$37,410 (9.5%), $41,276 (9.6%), $82,147
(17.4%), $64,035 (11.5%) and $81,200
(13.1%) respectively. This is a 77.6%
increase in five years. As has been discussed
with the Council during previous budget
processes, heavy rains and high water tables
increase the flow through the MCES lift
stations and increase our disposal charges.
The total operating expenditure budget is
increasing by $112,700 (5.91%) The major
increases are the previously mentioned
MCES charges ($81,200). The operating
transfer of $115,000 is to cover the sewer
improvements that were part of the Casco
Point project and will continue for another
four years.
Upcoming capital expenditures can be
covered by the fund’s current cash balances.
Projects identified in the CIP for 2021
include: Annual sewer rehabilitation
($290,000), additional generators ($75,000),
grinder station ($20,000), lift station updates
($120,000), additional road project
adjustments ($63,000), sewer meter
installation into Long Lake, and force main
replacement for Tonkawa ($225,000), for a
total of $833,000. The anticipated cash
balance for the fund at the end of 2020 is
$2,019,555.
Stormwater
The Stormwater Fund is for the most part
project based. Operating expenditures are
mainly limited to engineering associated with
NPDES, SWPPP and other state and federal
requirements. Public Works time and
materials spent on culvert
cleaning/replacement are also charged to this
fund. The purpose of this fund is to collect
money for the larger Stormwater projects that
City of Orono - 2021 Budget Page 5
will be required in the future. The attached
five-year projection assumes a 10% annual
increase.
Potential CIP projects in 2021 include:
Casco Circle ($49,380), Park Lane & Elm
Street ($26,190), Navarre West Road and
East Roads ($88,855), Eileen Street ($7,725),
manhole rebuilds ($35,000), Casco Point
Park Outlet ($58,000), South Casco Point
Road sump ($36,000), Casco Point Park
Bioretention basin ($55,000), Fagerness
Point Road drainage system ($80,000), and
Storm Sewer Improvements ($50,000). The
capital expenditures total $536,150. The
anticipated cash balance for the fund at the
end of 2020 is $1,433,719.
Recycling
The recycling funds major expenditure line is
for contracted recycling charges. The current
contract with Waste Management is
increasing 4%. The Recycled Materials has
weakened in the past few years since 2018.
The full time wages that are charged to the
fund represent 10% of the City Clerks wages.
The anticipated cash balance for the fund at
the end of 2020 is $70,382.
Cable
The Cable funds projected revenues are
based on current subscriber information and
rates. The line item for Internet/Other
communications covers the costs associated
with streaming and online access of council
meetings. It has been increased to pay for the
increased cost of our fiber internet
connection. Revenue for the fund is in the
from franchise fees that are set by the City’s
franchise agreement with Mediacom. The
current cash balance of the fund is $169,102.
Construction Funds
The City does not adopt formal budgets for
construction funds. Possible projects for
these funds can be found in the CIP. The CIP
is a planning tool only; approval of the CIP
not approve or authorize any purchases. The
projects identified in it will require individual
approval from the Council before they can be
started.
Capital Improvement Plan
In 2012 the City formally adopted a Capital
Improvement Plan (CIP). In order to keep the
CIP useful, it is updated on a yearly basis. An
updated copy of the CIP for 2021 is included
with this memo and will be approved tonight.
The CIP is a planning document only and
approval of the CIP does not constitute
approval of any expenditures.
There are two main focusses of the CIP. First
is the CIP items that have been identified as
needs by staff. The Second is available
funding for the CIP. Many funding sources
are not adequate to fund the CIP items so
funding will need to be secured prior to
moving forward with the projects.
The funding for the Street CIP includes an
additional $300,000 in tax levy starting in
2023. In that year, the levy needed for debt
service will decrease by $300,000 and by
transferring the levy to the CIP, there will be
adequate funding for roads. This increased
levy for the CIP will require Council
approval at that time.

Beach, and Mound. Due to the contractual agreements the department operates as a “cost
center” and is the only General Fund department that has expenditures for costs that are
normally covered by Central Services. This budget is also the only one within the General Fund
that includes capital expenditures.
• Fire – the expenditures of the Fire Department are comprised of renewable contracts with the
Cities of Long Lake and Wayzata for fire suppression services.

CITY ATTORNEY REPORT
16. SECOND AMENDMENT DEDICATED CITY
Mattick stated this is an item the Council discussed at their previous meeting and at the study session earlier
this evening. He explained that the resolution for Council consideration expresses support for the second
amendment in its fullest sense and supports the rights conferred by the second amendment.
Walsh noted there was a member of the public that was here to comment on this item and asked them to
come to the podium and state their name and address for the record.
Brad Evans, 6041 Hermitage Trail, Minnestrista, thanked the Council for considering adoption of this
resolution because, in this day and age, it takes a lot of guts to do something like this. He stated that they
are law abiding citizens and as a member of the Minnetonka Sportsmen’s Club, he wanted to let the Council
know that they appreciate and respect what this Council is doing with this resolution.
Crosby read aloud the resolution language.
Crosby moved, Johnson seconded, to adopt RESOLUTION NO. 7140, a Resolution Declaring
Orono a Second Amendment Dedicated City. VOTE: Ayes 5, Nays 0.
Walsh noted, as suggested by Councilmember Printup, every month the Council pulls up an item under the
Bill of Rights, talks about it a little bit, and has a Resolution in support of each item.
2019 TRANSFER – PAVEMENT MANAGEMENT (formerly Consent Agenda item #4)
Walsh stated that he is assuming the overage is what was planned for the roads budget for 2020 and asked
if he was mistaken and it was actually for the roads budget for 2021.
Edwards stated that the overage would be for the 2021 roads budget.
Walsh stated that would mean the City is already starting out with $717,000 and then has about $125,000
with the cell tower revenue and about $641,000 in the pavement management levy.
Rief noted there was $717,000 in the pavement management levy.
Ung clarified that this is for the roads budget for 2020 and not 2021.

2019 TRANSFER – PAVEMENT MANAGEMENT – Continued
Walsh confirmed that the transfer then is for the 2020 roads budget and noted that he believes for this
situation, the City had planned for about $630,000 and this is an extra $80,000 or so above what the City
thought they were going to have in the pavement management fund. He reviewed the funding included in
the pavement management plan.
Crosby moved, Printup seconded, to approve the 2019 Transfer – Pavement Management Plan, as
presented. VOTE: Ayes 5, Nays 0.
APPROVAL OF PROPOSED 2021 OFFICIAL MEETINGS CALENDAR (formerly Consent
Agenda Item #5)
Walsh noted spring break happens the week of March 22, 2021 and proposed that the March Council
meeting be changed to March 29, 2021 so it wouldn’t overlap with spring break.
Walsh moved, Printup seconded, to approve the 2021 official meeting calendar as amended to
change the March 22, 2021 Council meeting to March 29, 2021 to avoid spring break. VOTE: Ayes
5, Nays 0.
2021 PUBLIC WORKS PLAN (formerly Consent Agenda Item #11)
Walsh noted that this is a large document, but wanted to make sure that everyone recognized certain items
within the Public Works budget. He stated that under the Capital budgets, the Pavement Management
budget that is proposed for all the roads that the City is working on, is slated at $1,123,000. He stated the
City is just a few hundred thousand dollars short of this amount and is hopeful that when revenue from
permits and tax dollars come in, that will allow the City to get all the roads done. He noted that he would
also like to touch on the metrics on page 5 of the plan where it discusses the goals to preserve and improve
the City transportation system. He stated he would like to remove the target regarding miles of chip seal.
He stated that, in his opinion, if the City is going to chip seal, they will do new roads.
Walsh moved, Printup seconded, to approve the 2021 Public Works Plan and accept the attached
proposals, as revised, removing the chip seal from the metrics. VOTE: Ayes 5, Nays 0.
HENNEPIN COUNTY ASSESSMENT SERVICES AGREEMENT (formerly Consent Agenda Item
#13)
Walsh stated when Hennepin County was brought in, they talked to the City and then the City went out for
bid, but because Orono is a little bit bigger city, there are not a lot of others that provide this service. He
stated that just because they don’t exist now, does not mean there won’t be others, over time. He stated one
‘heartburn’ he had with this is that the County said they could do a one-year or a five-year contract and
when asked what benefit there would be in doing a multi-year contract., the County replied there was no
benefit to a multi-year contract. Walsh explained this is why he questioned why the City would sign a
contract that was longer than a year. He stated at the time, no one else on the Council agreed with him, but
he would like to revisit this issue. He would like to propose a one-year contract since there is no benefit in
the pricing for signing a four- or five-year contract. He stated this gives the City the opportunity, if other
services become available, to outsource and not be locked into a long-term contract with the County. Walsh

HENNEPIN COUNTY ASSESSMENT SERVICES AGREEMENT – Continued
stated the County charges based on taxable value and not the amount of work that it takes. He suggested
the City look at what other services and options may be available to the City next year and beyond for
assessment services.
Rief noted he had looked at the licensing requirements to be an assessor and there is only one other firm in
the metro area. He noted this firm only has five employees and already services seven other cities. He
explained that the City of Long Lake and the City of Medina uses this other firm and knows that they charge
on a flat fee basis. He stated his concern is that the City keeps two County assessors busy 365 days a year.
Walsh stated he understands those concerns because they are the same as they were when the previous
contract was signed. He still feels that because there is no reason or benefit to signing a multi-year contract,
he doesn’t think the City should lock itself into something rather than keeping its options open. He noted
the City can keep renewing a year at a time, if necessary, because there is also no penalty for proceeding in
this matter.
Walsh moved, Seals seconded, to approve the Hennepin County Assessment Services Agreement for
a term of 1 year. VOTE: Ayes 5, Nays 0.
16. SECOND AMENDMENT DEDICATED CITY (continued)
Walsh noted a visitor had just entered the room and asked if he was here for a specific agenda item.
The gentleman stated he was from the Minnetonka Sportsmen’s Club and had received a notification that
the Council was going to discuss the Second Amendment.
Walsh explained that the Council had passed the resolution in support of the Second Amendment earlier in
the meeting.
FINANCE DIRECTOR REPORT
14. THIRD QUARTER FINANCIAL REPORT
Ung gave an overview of the Third Quarter Financial Report for 2020. She explained the City is on track
to meet revenues for the year at 71.4%. She noted as a comparison, for 2019, at the end of the 2nd quarter,
the City had revenues at 72.5%. She stated it is similar for the tax revenues with it being 48.8% of the
budget for 2020 as compared to 52.1% from 2019. She noted typically, by the third quarter, Licenses and
Permits have exceeded the budget; however, due to COVID-19, the City has only collected 76.42% of the
budgeted revenue. She stated the Other Government Revenue is currently at 161% as compared to 53.1%
in 2019, which is due to the CARES Act Grant funding that the City received in July. She explained that
the Golf Course Revenue has also exceeded budget at 189% as compared to 98.8% in 2019. She stated the
assumption is that COVID-19 played a big role in this change because of the restrictions on indoor social
gatherings. She reviewed a graphical representation of the issued Building Permits issued and the Plan
Check/Site Exam fee and noted that they had decreased this year.
Johnson noted you need to take into account that the City had a big year both last year and the year before.

14. THIRD QUARTER FINANCIAL REPORT – Continued
Crosby asked if the revenues were calculated for Building Permits at the time of the application. He would
like to see how many dollars of open Building Permits there are in the City that have not yet been closed.
Ung stated this information has not yet been collected.
Crosby stated he thinks the vast majority are gathered at the time of application, but he would like to know
how many open permits are still out there.
Walsh stated the information in the report just goes through the end of September, so there will still be
October, November, and possibly December for the fourth quarter.
Johnson stated he would like to see how long the City’s permit cycle is because that may be a better indicator
to help the Council forecast. He stated this information shows when the permits originate, but lots of things
can happen and the permits are staying open. He noted this information will also speak to the workflow
because this current information is not necessarily indicative of workflow since it only shows when they
pulled the permit.
Crosby stated he assumes this data would be fairly easy to pull through Citizen Serve.
Ung reviewed the revenue comparison by quarters and explained that the City is just a little below last year
for third quarter and reiterated they are still expecting to meet budget. She reviewed the expenditures and
noted there are two departments that are trending over budget which are Mayor and Council, which is due
to a change in cost for producing meeting minutes, but noted that it is a relatively small line item.
Johnson noted he feels the new minutes vendor does not do a super job.
Seals asked if that meant he wanted to investigate other possibilities for the minutes.
Johnson stated the Council just renewed the contract on the Consent Agenda.
Rief noted there are not a lot of options out there for contractors to take minutes in this capacity.
Ung reiterated the Golf Course is over budget which is due to more maintenance and bank fees, but those
expenditures are off-set with the higher revenue intake. She stated overall, the third quarter is looking good
and she expects the City to finish the year off under budget. She reviewed the top vendors for the third
quarter as well as year to date.
Seals noted the Parks Commission has asked for a Master Plan for the golf course and suggested a meeting
to be scheduled regarding this issue.
Edwards noted they did one about four years ago but can revisit the issue if that is the desire.
Walsh reviewed some of the items included in the master plan.

14. THIRD QUARTER FINANCIAL REPORT – Continued
Seals suggested a work session meeting be scheduled to brainstorm and discuss what is already in the master
plan and the business plan and see if the Council would like to change anything. She stated she would
personally like to have a driving range but that would probably require buying land.
MAYOR/COUNCIL REPORT
Johnson reminded residents the City will be starting the time of sale sewer inspections soon. He stated he
knows a letter has gone out but is not sure how widely this information has been communicated to the real
estate community and hopes there will not be too many surprises.
Crosby thanked City staff and the City Attorney for helping out with the Second Amendment resolution
and thanked the Council for their support. He wished everyone a happy and safe Thanksgiving.
Seals stated that she had nothing to report.
Printup also wished everyone a safe and happy Thanksgiving. He stated a few years ago, around
Thanksgiving, he told a story that is one of his favorites in American History that proves to him that God’s
hand played a large part in America. He explained that pilgrims, around 1620, were not doing well and
survival rates were low from the horrid conditions. When an American Indian boldly approached the
pilgrims, they expected a fight was coming but instead he said, “Welcome! Do you have any beer?” The
Pilgrims stress level went down and they realized that this was going to be a friendly encounter and replied,
“No, but we have brandy.” This started the events of what led to what is now called Thanksgiving. Printup
recommended people look up the American Indian called Samoset who was the one who approached the
pilgrims and later brought his friend, Squanto to the village who spoke better English than he did. He stated
that helped lead to the Declaration of Independence, the American Revolution, the beautiful Constitution,
as well as the beautiful Bill of Rights. He stated that he felt the Council had a really good conversation
surrounding the Second Amendment. On another note, Printup asked if staff could contact the local
Chambers, including the Twin West Chamber, to find out what local government can do to help the local
businesses right now. He would like to know what kinds of things can be done that go beyond the “Shop
Local” mantra.
Seals noted she read an article outlining ways small businesses can apply for local grants. She stated the
soccer club has applied for one during the lockdown.
Rief explained the article that came out today outlines that the County just approved $15,000,000 in granting
for small businesses. He stated the City sent that information to business owners in the community so they
will be aware of the options.
Walsh also wished residents a happy and safe Thanksgiving. He stated if people have three families or
twenty people over to their home for Thanksgiving, the Orono Police Department will not come knocking
at their door and arrest residents. He stated they will not even be looking for that type of activity and will
not be enforcing the edicts from Governor Walz. He stated normally he is traveling over Thanksgiving and
this is the first year in a long time that he will eat at his own table with his children and is looking forward
to that. He stated there appears to be snow and rain coming towards the end of the week and encouraged
residents to drive safely.

CITY ADMINISTRATOR REPORT
15. APPROVAL OF THE PROFESSIONAL AGREEMENT FOR CITY ENGINEERING
SERVICES
Rief explained the City had engaged in a Request for Proposal (RFP) process for engineering services. He
stated there were three applicants and the top two were WSB and Bolton & Menk and their proposals were
very similar. He noted staff feels it makes the most sense to continue with Bolton & Menk and recommends
maintaining their firm as the City’s partner for these services.
Walsh stated he feels Bolton & Menk has done a good job with the City and staff seems to like the services
that they have provided.
Crosby moved, Printup seconded, to approve the Engineering Services Contract with Bolton &
Menk. VOTE: Ayes 5, Nays 0.
Rief noted with regard to video services, the City has recently struggled with some issues. He noted there
was a lightning strike in late summer that impacted some video issues. He stated the City has done an
upgrade due to the lightning strike, which means the City now has the capability to utilize YouTube or
Facebook live video, which staff is exploring. He stated the cost with Granicus is around $7,500/year, so
they are looking into alternative ways to handle video services which may be a cost savings for the City.
Seals noted YouTube has just changed all their client agreements, which means they can literally do
whatever they want with the videos. She stated her company had to cut ties with YouTube because of this
change. She suggested staff look deeply into this issue and noted that, in general, if it seems like a good
deal, it is not.
Crosby noted much of tonight’s meeting probably would have been censored through that platform.
Rief stated staff will take the Council comments into consideration as they review options.
Johnson asked if the City had put out any RFPs for building inspections.
Rief stated the RFP has been sent to six companies and he believes three or four potential firms have
contacted the City.

Work Session Minutes

Council Chambers
5:00 p.m.
PRESENT: Mayor Dennis Walsh, Council Members Richard F. Crosby II, Victoria Seals, Aaron
Printup and Matt Johnson. Staff members present were City Administrator Dustin Rief, Police
Chief Correy Farniok, Public Works Director/City Engineer Adam Edwards, Community
Development Director Jeremy Barnhart, and City Clerk Anna Carlson.
1.Drug Paraphernalia
City Administrator Dustin Rief opened discussion by requesting input from the Council in
regards to what they would like to see done with the regulation of drug paraphernalia within
Orono.
City Attorney Soren Mattick presented a background about regulating drug paraphernalia. He
noted that the Council has authority to create and choose to regulate it or not.
There was discussion about the possibilities for future legalization of marijuana and what
decisions the City may see overtime.
Council Member Aaron Printup mentioned that he didn’t think that Orono would want to
allow drug paraphernalia in the City.
Council member Richard F. Crosby II agreed with Printup.
Mayor Dennis Walsh asked if the City wants to make a decision about this tonight.
Council Member Matthew Johnson added that one of the good things about addressing this
now is that we would have the advantage of having something in the books to address it.
The City Council gave guidance to staff to begin the process to move it forward and to get the
Police Chief’s perspective on it.
2.Utility Rate Study
Interim Finance Director Maggie Ung presented the Utility Rate Study. She mentioned staff
had looked into the recycling rates and discovered that the rates could possibly be dropped
slightly. The original 10% increase could be decreased to 8%.
There was discussion of labeling the recycling on the bills as Hennepin County mandated.
Staff will look educating residents about how recycling is mandated by the county.
3.Second Amendment Dedicated City
City Attorney Soren Mattick commented that MN Legislature has legislated City’s not being
able to ban guns or put other restrictions or regulations on them. He stated that if federal
Orono City Council

government creates a law that bans guns the resolution put before Council tonight will not
trump legislative laws.
Walsh noted that this is just a good faith resolution noting that the City supports guns and
nothing more.
Printup mentioned that he first thought of the resolution as a good idea but possibly at the next
meeting we could make a proclamation and rather focus on the Bill of Rights instead.
Crosby noted he is comfortable with expanding on the Bill of Rights, but the second
amendment resolution going before council tonight is important and it show’s our stance.
Council Member Victoria Seals supports the right and the resolution but is not quite sure why
it is the only one we are discussing at this time. Seals agrees with Printup.
Crosby noted that standing up for what you believe isn’t always easy but it’s something that
should be done.
Walsh mentioned that he would like to walk with the council to figure out where we would
like to hang the flag and also noted that we have people that are willing to raise money for
those flags as well.
Printup noted he would like to visit the Bill of Rights at a different meeting.

Exhibit C Utility Rates and Fees
Connection fees have been determined as a way to provide a fair and equitable recovery of the costs associated with
providing water and wastewater utility services to new customers to avoid placing these costs on existing customers. The
connection fee includes those portions of existing assets that will benefit new customers together with any anticipated
future capital improvements constructed for the purpose of providing utility services to new customers. The connection
charge applies to those properties not previously assessed for the associated utility project.
Connection to City Sewer in areas still within their assessment window (less than 15 years since project was assessed)
shall pay an amount equivalent to the assessment amount plus interest that residences were charged at the time of
the project:

AGENDA ITEM
Prepared By: MLU Reviewed By: MLU Approved By: DJR
1. Purpose. The purpose of this action item is to authorize the Treasurer to disburse city funds in
payment of claims that would normally be approved at the 2nd meeting in December.
2. Background. Typically during the month of December the City has only one council meeting. The
meeting which would fall on or near the Christmas holiday is cancelled. Staff is requesting authorization
to process a normal claims processing for the canceled meeting. This practice is routinely done in
December with the Council then formally approving the claims at the first meeting in January of the
following year. Without this authorization, no claims would be processed from December 7th to January
11th; this would make it difficult to comply with State Stature 471.425 requiring prompt payment of
claims.
3. Staff Recommendation. Staff recommends authorizing the Treasurer to disburse city funds in
payment of claims received for the December 28th council meeting prior to formal approval at the January
11, 2021 council meeting.
COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED
Motion to authorize the City Treasurer to disburse city funds in payment of claims received for the
December 28th council meeting which has been canceled, and that such paid claims be presented for
formal approval at the January 11, 2020 council meeting.
Item No.: 8 Date: December 7, 2020

AGENDA ITEM
Prepared By: MLU Reviewed By: MLU Approved By DJR
1. Purpose. The purpose of this action item is to adopt a resolution making a selection not to waive the
statutory tort limits for liability.
2. Background. Minnesota Statutes 466.04 limits a city’s tort liability to a maximum of $500,000 per
claimant and $1,500,000 per occurrence. Because cities have the right to waive the liability limit, our
insurance carrier, the League of Minnesota Cities Insurance Trust (LMCIT), requires that the City
Council adopt a resolution stipulating whether the City will or will not waive the statutory limits under
the laws. A waiver of the limits would result in increased liability exposure and an increase in premiums.
3. Cost. Because waiver of the statutory limits increases the amount that the LMCIT could potentially
be responsible for, waiver of the limit will increase the city’s general liability insurance premium by
approximately 3.5% ($3,500). The City also carries excess liability coverage in the amount of
$2,000,000. A wavier of tort limits would increase this premium by 25% ($8,600).
4. Staff Recommendation. Staff recommends the adoption of the resolution not to waive tort limits.
COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED

purposes.

D. Coverage limits
LMCIT gives members options for structuring their liability coverage.
Members can also choose either to waive or not to waive the monetary tort
caps the statutes provide. It can also select from among several liability
coverage limits.
1. LMCIT primary liability limits
Minn. Stat. § 466.04. The statutory municipal tort liability is limited to a maximum of $500,000 per
claimant and $1.5 million per occurrence. These limits apply whether the
claim is against the city, against the individual officer or employee, or against
both. LMCIT’s liability coverage provides a standard limit of $2 million per
occurrence. Higher limits are in place for a couple reasons.
See Section II.D.3.a,
Statutory limits may not
apply.
First, the statutory liability limit caps the city’s liability for many types of
claims. But some types of liability claims aren’t subject to the statutory tort
caps, so the city’s potential liability is unlimited for some types of claims.
RELEVANT LINKS:
League of Minnesota Cities Information Memo: 8/6/2018
LMCIT Liability Coverage Guide Page 5
See Section II.D.3,
Purchasing higher liability
limits.
Second, it’s increasingly more common to see contracts require more than the
statutory limit of $1.5 million; a more common figure is $2 million. LMCIT’s
higher limit meets this requirement, but if even higher limits are required,
there is the option to carry LMCIT’s excess liability coverage to meet the
additional requirements. LMCIT can in some cases also issue an endorsement
to increase the city’s coverage limit only for claims relating to a particular
contract.
In addition to the LMCIT coverage limit of $2 million per occurrence, there
are annual aggregate limits (that is, limits on the total amount of coverage for
the year regardless of the number of claims), for certain specific risks.
Aggregate limits apply to claims arising out of the following:
See Section III.B, Data
security breach and
computer-related risks.
.
See Section III.J, Land use
and special risk litigation
and Land Use Incentive
Program.
See Section III.D,
Employees’ activities in
outside organizations.
• Products $3 million annually
• Failure to supply utilities $3 million annually
Coverage applies for the failure to supply water, electricity, gas, or steam service. It
also applies to damages arising out of the failure to supply phone and internet or
other electronic data transmission services.
• Data security breaches $3 million annually
A $250,000 annual aggregate/sublimit (part of and not in addition to the $3 million
aggregate) applies for Payment Card Industry (PCI) fines and penalties and data
security breach regulatory fines and penalties resulting from a data security breach
claim.
• Electromagnetic fields $3 million annually
• Limited contamination $3 million annually
Includes the sudden and accidental release of pollutants; herbicide and pesticide
applications; sewer ruptures, overflows, and backups; lead and asbestos claims; mold
claims; organic pathogen claims; hostile fire claims; and excavation and dredging
claims. Excavation and dredging claims are subject to an annual $250,000 sublimit.
These limits apply to both damages and defense costs.
• Land use/special risk litigation $1 million annually
Land use litigation coverage is provided on a sliding scale percentage basis, which is
based on participation in LMCIT’s land use incentive. Coverage applies to both
damages and litigation costs.
• Activities in outside organizations $100,000 annually
2. Statutory liability limits
Minn. Stat. § 466.04. The statutory municipal tort cap is limited to a maximum of $500,000 per
claimant and $1.5 million per occurrence.
These limits apply whether the claim is against the city, against the individual
officer or employee, or against both. The LMCIT liability coverage provides a
standard limit of $2 million per occurrence.
RELEVANT LINKS:
League of Minnesota Cities Information Memo: 8/6/2018
LMCIT Liability Coverage Guide Page 6
See Summary of LMCIT
Liability Coverage Options
and the effects of choosing
the various coverage
structure options.
At the city’s coverage renewal each year, it must decide whether to waive or
not waive the statutory limits. There is no right or wrong answer on this point,
and it’s a discretionary decision that each governing body must make.
a. Waiving the statutory limit
Members who choose to waive the statutory limits are waiving the protection
of the statutory limits, up to the amount of coverage the city has. Someone
with a claim against a city that has waived the statutory limits would be able
to recover up to the LMCIT standard limit of $2 million, rather than the
statutory limit of $500,000 per claimant. Because the waiver increases the
exposure, the premium is a few percentage points higher for coverage under
the waiver option.
A city may choose to pay more in premium for the waiver option because the
statutory liability limit only comes into play in a case where the city is in fact
liable and the injured party’s actual proven damages are greater than the
statutory limit. Some cities as a matter of public policy may want to have
more assets available to compensate their citizens for injuries caused by the
city’s negligence. Waiving the statutory liability limits is a way to do that.
There is no increase in risk if the city waives the statutory liability limits. In
other words, there is no risk for the city to end up with liability if LMCIT
doesn’t cover it. The LMCIT waiver form specifically says the city is waiving
the statutory tort caps only to the extent of the city’s coverage. That’s not to
say there is no risk the city’s liability could exceed its coverage limits. There
are certain situations in which this could happen, but the waiver doesn’t
increase that risk.
See Section II.D.3,
Purchasing higher liability
limits.
In those cases where the city waives the statutory limit, but also purchases the
LMCIT excess liability coverage, a claimant could potentially recover more.
For example, if the city has $1 million of excess coverage and chooses to
waive the statutory tort caps, the claimants (whether it’s one claimant or
several) could then potentially recover up to $3 million in damages in a single
occurrence. If the city carries higher excess coverage limits, the potential
maximum recovery per occurrence is correspondingly higher.
See Section II.D.3,
Purchasing higher liability
limits.
Carrying LMCIT’s excess coverage under the waiver option is a way to
address an issue that some cities find troubling, and that’s: the case where
many people are injured in a single occurrence caused by city negligence. An
example is if a city vehicle negligently ran into a school bus full of children
causing multiple serious injuries.
The statutory limit of $1.5 million divided 50 ways may not go far in
compensating those injuries. Excess coverage under the waiver option makes
more funds available to compensate the victims in this kind of situation.
RELEVANT LINKS:
League of Minnesota Cities Information Memo: 8/6/2018
LMCIT Liability Coverage Guide Page 7
See Section II.D.3,
Purchasing higher liability
limits.
The cost of the excess liability coverage is higher if the city waives the
statutory tort caps. The cost difference is proportionally greater than the cost
difference at the primary level because for a city that carries excess coverage,
waiving the statutory tort caps increases both the per claimant exposure and
the per occurrence exposure.
b. Not waiving the statutory limit
See Section II.D.3.a,
Statutory limits may not
apply.
For cities who choose not to waive the statutory limits, the city’s liability is
limited by the statute to no more than $500,000 per claimant and $1.5 million
per occurrence. LMCIT’s higher coverage limits would only come into play
on those types of claims that aren’t covered by the statutory limit.
3. Purchasing higher liability limits
LMCIT makes available the option of carrying higher coverage limits than the
basic limit of $2 million per occurrence. This coverage, called excess liability
coverage, is available in $1 million increments up to a maximum of $5
million.
There are several different reasons why cities may consider carrying LMCIT’s
excess liability coverage.
a. Statutory limits may not apply
Minn. Stat. § 3.736.
The statutory tort caps either do not or may not apply to several types of
claims. Some examples include:
• Claims under federal civil rights laws. These include Section 1983, the
Americans with Disabilities Act, and so on.
• Claims for tort liability the city has assumed by contract. This occurs
when a city agrees in a contract to defend and indemnify a private party.
• Claims for actions in another state. This might occur in border cities that
have mutual aid agreements with adjoining states or when a city official
attends a national conference or goes to Washington to lobby.
• Claims based on liquor sales. This mostly affects cities with municipal
liquor stores, but it could also arise relating to beer sales at a fire relief
association fundraiser, for example.
• Claims based on a “taking” theory. Suits challenging land use regulations
frequently include an “inverse condemnation” claim, alleging the
regulation amounts to a “taking” of the property.
RELEVANT LINKS:
League of Minnesota Cities Information Memo: 8/6/2018
LMCIT Liability Coverage Guide Page 8
b. Annual limits apply in LMCIT’s coverage for specific
risks
See Section II.D, Coverage
limits. Besides LMCIT’s overall coverage limit of $2 million per occurrence, there
are also annual aggregate limits for certain specific risks. If the city has a loss
or claim in one of these areas, there might not be enough limits remaining to
cover the city’s full exposure if there is a second loss of the same sort during
the year.
There are, however, a couple important restrictions on how the excess
coverage applies to risks that are subject to aggregate limits. The excess
coverage does not apply to the following types of risks.
LMC information memos,
LMCIT Auto Coverage
Guide and LMCIT Workers’
Compensation Coverage
Guide.
See Section III.L, Medical
payments; Section III.D,
Employees’ activities in
outside organizations; and
Section III.K, Liquor
liability.
• Failure to supply utilities.
• Mold.
• Lead and asbestos.
• Excavation and dredging.
• Sudden and accidental release of pollutants below ground or within or on
the surface of any body of water.
• Auto no-fault claims.
• Uninsured/underinsured motorist claims.
• Workers’ compensation, disability, or unemployment claims.
• Claims under the medical payments coverage.
• Claims arising from the activities of outside organizations.
• No-fault sewer backup
• Liquor liability, unless the city has specifically requested it.
c. Contracts may require higher coverage limits
LMC information memo,
Making and Managing City
Contracts, Section IV.B.6,
Umbrella/excess insurance.
Occasionally, a contract might include a requirement the city carry more than
$2 million per occurrence in coverage limits. Carrying excess coverage is a
way to meet these requirements. Cities can also contact LMCIT and request
an endorsement to increase the city’s coverage limit only for claims relating to
that contract. There’s a small charge, and the contract and additional
underwriting information may be required.
d. Multiple political subdivisions
There may be more than one political subdivision covered under the city’s
coverage.
See Section III.Q, Separate
city boards and
commissions.
A housing and redevelopment authority (HRA), economic development
authority (EDA), or port authority are separate political subdivisions.
RELEVANT LINKS:
League of Minnesota Cities Information Memo: 8/6/2018
LMCIT Liability Coverage Guide Page 9
If the city EDA, for example, is named as a covered party on the city’s
coverage and a claim were made that involved both the city and the EDA,
theoretically the claimant might be able to recover up to $1.5 million from
both the city and the EDA since there are two political subdivisions involved.
Excess coverage is one way to provide enough coverage limits to address this
situation. Another solution is for the HRA, EDA, or port authority to carry
separate liability coverage in its own name.
LMC information memo,
Making and Managing City
Contracts, Section
IV.B.1.b, Additional
insured provisions.
The issue of multiple covered parties can also arise is if the city has agreed by
contract to name another entity as a covered party, or to defend and indemnify
another entity.
e. Courts may overturn statutory liability limits
Cities sometimes carry higher coverage limits because of a concern the courts
might overturn the statutory liability limits. However, those limits have been
tested and upheld several times in Minnesota. While it’s always possible a
future court might decide to throw out the statutory limits, this is less of a
concern.
III. Coverage details on specific liability
exposures
The LMCIT liability coverage is broad, but there are some situations where
the city needs to take additional action or be aware of special coverage terms
and limits.
A. Airports
LMCIT offers optional airport liability coverage to members of the
property/casualty program. Coverage is available for airports that are operated
by a city, by a joint powers entity that includes at least one city, or by a
special purpose district. Coverage is available for most municipal airports;
however, larger airports that have scheduled service are not eligible.
1. Coverage limits
See Section II.D.3,
Purchasing higher liability
limits.
The airport liability coverage is very broad and carries a per occurrence limit
of $2 million and an annual aggregate limit of $3 million. It is subject to the
same deductibles that apply to the city’s municipal liability coverage. Higher
limits can be provided through LMCIT’s optional excess liability coverage,
although it is not available as an option for airport risks only.

LIABILITY COVERAGE – WAIVER FORM
Members who obtain liability coverage through the League of Minnesota Cities Insurance Trust (LMCIT)
must complete and return this form to LMCIT before the member’s effective date of coverage. Return
completed form to your underwriter or email to pstech@lmc.org.
The decision to waive or not waive the statutory tort limits must be made annually by the
member’s governing body, in consultation with its attorney if necessary.
Members who obtain liability coverage from LMCIT must decide whether to waive the statutory tort liability limits
to the extent of the coverage purchased. The decision has the following effects:
• If the member does not waive the statutory tort limits, an individual claimant could recover no more than
$500,000 on any claim to which the statutory tort limits apply. The total all claimants could recover for a single
occurrence to which the statutory tort limits apply would be limited to $1,500,000. These statutory tort limits
would apply regardless of whether the member purchases the optional LMCIT excess liability coverage.
• If the member waives the statutory tort limits and does not purchase excess liability cove rage, a single claimant
could recover up to $2,000,000 for a single occurrence (under the waive option, the tort cap liability limits are
only waived to the extent of the member’s liability coverage limits, and the LMCIT per occurrence limit i s
$2,000,000). The total all claimants could recover for a single occurrence to which the statutory tort limits apply
would also be limited to $2,000,000, regardless of the number of claimants.
• If the member waives the statutory tort limits and purchases excess liability coverage, a single claimant could
potentially recover an amount up to the limit of the coverage purchased. The total all claimants could recover for
a single occurrence to which the statutory tort limits apply would also be limited to the amount of coverage
purchased, regardless of the number of claimants.
Claims to which the statutory municipal tort limits do not apply are not affected by this decision.

WHEREAS, on September 21, 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 September 21, 2020, the Planning Commission recommended
approval of the requested variances and conditional use permits with the exception of the variance
from 78-1125(a) requiring the 15-foot elevation bench for which they recommended denial; and
WHEREAS, on November 9, 2020, the City Council reviewed the application and
the recommendations of the Planning Commission and City staff. The Council agreed with the
Planning Commission’s recommendation and directed the Applicant to revise the grading plan to
conform to 78-1125(a); and
WHEREAS, on November 30, 2020, the Applicant submitted a revised grading
plan conforming to the requirements of 78-1125(a); and
WHEREAS, on December 7, 2020, the City Council reviewed the Applicant’s
revised grading plan; and
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of Orono, Minnesota
hereby approves the application as amended and as 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 #LA20-000022. 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-1A One Family Lakeshore Residential Zoning District.
3. The Property contains 1.27 acres in area and has a defined lot width of 180 feet.
4. The Property is within Tier 1 and hardcover is limited to 25% according to the Stormwater
Quality Overlay District.
5. Applicant has applied for the following:
a. Lot Area and Lot Width Variances
b. Variance to permit Hardcover and Building within the 75-foot Setback
CITY OF ORONO
RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL
NO. ________________________
3
c. Conditional Use Permit for Plumbing within an Accessory Building
d. Conditional Use Permit for placement of fill below the 1% annual chance of flooding
in order to elevate the home.
6. In considering this application for variances and conditional use permits, the Council has
considered the advice and recommendation of the Planning Commission and the effect of
the proposed plan 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 lot width and area variances requested are consistent
with the general intent of the Ordinance. The lake setback and hardcover variances are
reasonable and necessary as the highest points of the Property for construction of the
home above the 1% annual chance floodplain are located toward the lake.
2. “Variances shall only be permitted . . . when the variances are consistent with the
comprehensive plan.” The variances resulting in a permit for construction of a single family
residence in a residential zone are consistent with the Comprehensive Plan.
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 portions of the proposed home on a
substandard lot within the 75-foot setback appears to be reasonable; the floodplain
grading appropriately elevates the home and the required 15-foot grade elevation
is met.
b. The plight of the landowner is due to circumstances unique to his property not created
by the landowner.
The major presence of the 1% annual chance floodplain on the Property creates
increased difficulties in locating a conforming building elevation and location. The
new house will be properly elevated out of the floodplain based on the required
RFPE. The sub-standard size of the Property was not the result of actions by the
CITY OF ORONO
RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL

landowner. The natural high area on the Property is more toward the lake
necessitating home and patio placement partially within the 75-foot setback;
c. The variance, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the locality.”
The lot area and width variances will not alter the character of the neighborhood;
the lake setback and hardcover variances are reasonable and necessary as the
highest points of the Property for construction of the home above the 1% annual
chance floodplain are located toward the lake. The hardcover is mitigated by the
proposed landscape plan for the Property.
4. “Economic considerations alone do not constitute practical difficulties.” Economic
considerations have alone 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 residential home is an allowed use in the LR-
1A 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 substandard lot area and width of the
Property is not uncommon in the surrounding neighborhood. The presence of the 1%
annual chance floodplain on the Property creates increased difficulties however, if the
building pad is reduced it is possible the building can conform to the 75-foot setback
limiting improvements toward the lake.
9. “The conditions do not apply generally to other land or structures in the district in which the
land is located.” The property to the east has a higher grade than the Property. The two
properties to the west have similar floodplain challenges.
10. “The granting of the application is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a
substantial property right of the applicant.” Granting the requested variances will provide
relief to the Owners regarding the lot size and floodplain on the Property.
CITY OF ORONO
RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL
NO. ________________________

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
requested variances will not adversely impact health, safety, comfort, or morals; nor will it
be contrary to the intent of the Code.
12. “The granting of such variance will not merely serve as a convenience to the applicant, but
is necessary to alleviate demonstrable difficulty.” The size of the Property and the
floodplain/topography create practical difficulties affecting the Property; the variances are
necessary and do not merely serve as a convenience to the Owners.
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT ANALYSIS:
On the basis of the application and the evidence submitted, the city must find that the
proposed use at the proposed location is or will be:
1) Consistent with the community management plan; The proposed uses are consistent
with the permitted uses for the Property, and are compliant with the zoning code and
comprehensive plan.
a. Plumbing within the accessory building: The bathroom within an accessory
building is contemplated and permitted in the zoning code with the required
protective covenants; and
b. The proposed grading: The grading shown in order to elevate the home and
portions of the property above the 1% annual chance floodplain is residential
in nature and complies with the intent of the code. MCWD approvals are also
required for the floodplain mitigation shown.
2) Compliant with the zoning code, including any conditions imposed on specific uses as
required by article V, division 3 of the City Code; The detached garage where the
bathroom will be located will be otherwise conforming in location, and height on the
Property. The proposed grading is residential in nature which is consistent with the
permitted uses for the Property.
3) Adequately served by police, fire, roads, and stormwater management; The proposed
use will be adequately served by existing services and facilities.
4) Provided with an adequate water supply and sewage disposal system; This statement
is true; the proposed detached garage with plumbing will be connected to City sewer
and private well.
CITY OF ORONO
RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL

5) Not expected to generate excessive demand for public services at public cost; This
criterion is met.
6) Compatible with the surrounding area as the area is used both presently and as it is
planned to be used in the future; Regarding the import of and movement of fill
material and re-grading of the Property, once completed, will have no impact on
surrounding lands. The grades, once vegetated and landscaped should not have an
adverse impact on the neighborhood or the lake.
The detached garage building is rural residential in character, will be architecturally
consistent with the principal building, and its use is expected to be compatible with the
surrounding area.
7) Consistent with the character of the surrounding area, unless a change of character
is called for in the community management plan; The detached garage will have a
residential visual character in keeping with the proposed home and is expected to be
compatible with the surrounding area.
The proposed grading activity will help to slow runoff from leaving the Property and
impacting neighboring properties. The floodplain mitigation proposed will not result in
a negative impact to neighboring properties or the lake.
8) Compatible with the character of buildings and site improvements in the surrounding
area, unless a change of character is called for in the community management plan;
The Applicants are proposing to substantially regrade the Property to mitigate filled
floodplain areas for the building site as well as facilitate better stormwater
management. It is likely adjacent lakeshore properties will not be impacted. The
grading will be reviewed and monitored closely by the City’s engineer and MCWD
staff to assure that proper grading is conducted and that adjacent properties and the
lake are not adversely impacted.
The architectural styling of the building will be residential in character and consistent
with that of the proposed home on the Property.
9) Not expected to substantially impair the use and enjoyment of the property in the area
or have a materially adverse impact on the property values in the area when
compared to the impairment or impact of generally permitted uses; The use of the
structure for garage storage and flex space is not expected to have any adverse
impacts. No information has been presented to indicate such.

The result of the proposed grading will enhance, rather than change, the intended
residential use of the Property; there should be no change in the use and enjoyment
of adjacent properties resulting from the import of fill materials and grading. However,
active grading of the Property can have a temporary adverse impact on neighbors.
The grading work on the Property as well as the further construction of the residence
could result in noise, dust, vibration and traffic on the haul routes and immediate
neighbors. To the degree possible, negative impacts should be limited and mitigated.
10) Provided with screening and buffering adequate to mitigate undesirable views and
activities likely to disturb surrounding uses; The finished grade will be vegetated and
landscaped; it should blend into the Property. The project, once completed, should
not result in undesirable views requiring mitigation.
11) Not create a nuisance which generates smoke, noise, glare, vibration, odors, fumes,
dust, electrical interference, general unsightliness, or other means; The result of the
proposed grading will enhance, rather than change the intended residential use of the
Property; there should be no change in the use and enjoyment of adjacent properties

The proposed detached garage with plumbing is not expected to cause any of these
undesirable impacts.
12) Not cause excessive non-residential traffic on residential streets, parking needs that
cause a demonstrable inconvenience to adjoining properties, traffic congestion, or
unsafe access; The grading project will be monitored by the MCWD, the City
Engineer, and planning staff so as to minimize nuisances during the project.
It is anticipated that the proposed detached garage with plumbing will not generate
any of these undesirable issues.
13) Designed to take into account the natural, scenic, and historic features of the area and
to minimize environmental impact; The proposed detached garage with plumbing will
not affect these features or have a negative environmental impact.
The project is being designed to take into account the natural, scenic, and historic
features of the area and to minimize environmental impact. The long term effect of the

20. LA20-000022 – RANDY HAAPALA, HNH HOMES O/B/O WILLIAM & KATHLEEN
WANNER, 1095 FERNDALE RD WEST, VARIANCES AND CUPS
Rick Storlien, representing HNH Homes, was present.
Staff presented a summary packet of information, noting the property has a history where
variances were granted, renewed and expired due to inactivity. The current owners plan to proceed with
construction of their home and are currently requesting similar approvals as received in the past. Current
plans reflect less hardcover in the 75 foot setback and structure in the average lakeshore setback than have
received variances for in the past. Staff recommends approval of the plan with the exception of the
variance to permit the lessened elevation bench around the home.
Walsh asked what the Council had previously approved regarding this property.
Curtis noted a number of house plans have been approved for this property and this is the first plan that
has gone as far as developing flood plain mitigation for watershed permitting. The previous plans were a
further encroachment in to the lakeshore setback with hardcover and the home. This plan is the most
compliant of the plans they have seen.
Walsh said it is an improvement and they just have not been this far from a flood plain management issue.
Rick Storlien with RDS architects is at the meeting on behalf of Randy Haapala from HNH Homes. He
noted a letter sent and it is his understanding the FEMA requires a 32.5, and that was the discrepancy in
the document, for an escape route from the home at each exit point to get to safe ground. He said they do
have that within the exit areas. He noted three minimal encroachments in to the 15 foot setback to the
31.5 elevation, and on the west it is an open porch rather than finished house; the north encroachment is a
garage; the east side is a bump out on the master bedroom suite. Minimum floor elevation is even further
above that benchmark currently, so under the house there is not any real encroachment as far as potential
for flood waters.
Walsh asked what would be the practical difficulty in complying with the whole bench.
Mr. Storlien said they have been going back and forth with the Watershed District, and noted the storage
capacity of the two storm water retention ponds are basically limited to area – they cannot go any deeper
because of lake elevations – so typically the pond would be one foot deeper and they would be fine as
they could make the pond a little smaller. They are trying to balance between those two issues and
maintain drainage-ways on either side of the home which are the two encroachments to the left and right.
He noted they could potentially meet the 15 feet, but will have to go back to the civil engineer and see if
there is any way to make the ponds larger in surface area to accommodate the required elevation. He said
it would most likely require grading on the lakeside of the home to achieve, and they are trying to avoid
that.
Walsh said the practical difficulty is if they cannot make the pond bigger, then there is nothing they can
do to fix that piece of it.
Mr. Storlien replied that is correct.
Walsh said, however, they do not know that.

Mr. Storlien said they have had the discussion and it was their decision to submit it this way to see what
shakes out.
Walsh asked how relevant is it that the Applicant cannot make the pond bigger…is it the end of the world
that the line must be where it is and asked the impact of that.
Curtis replied the 15 foot buffer is a requirement for the flood plain regulations and the City has varied it
in the past, particularly on Baldur Park where it is impossible to reach that bench when elevating the
home. It has been a variance the City has granted in the past. This lot is just wider than those properties;
it is a very low area and is impacted by the flood plain.
Walsh said he could see that as a general practical difficulty.
Johnson said it seems like the Applicant should know that about the pond before asking.
Walsh does not know how they solve the problem to the left and right of the house.
Mr. Storlien said potentially, if the ponds can get wider, they can get shorter. The issue they run into is
grading from the elevation of the pond level up to the driveway becomes steeper which then causes
problems for lawn maintenance.
Walsh said the best thing to do may be to table this, go find the answer, and see what the palatability of
doing that is.
Curtis said it makes sense, and there is another jurisdiction involved with the modification to the plan and
running it through their process again. She noted it is a Staff process, so it can be done quickly, but she
thinks it is reasonable.

21. DISCUSSION RELATED TO A POTENTIAL TEXT AMENDMENT RELATED TO
RESIDENTIAL DOCK USE AND CERTAIN EXCEPTIONS
Barnhart said in the course of enforcing the dock regulations as they do by complaint, Staff has learned
that in this particular instance, non-resident users lived in the neighborhood nearby and were using the
dock for the subject property. These residents contacted the Mayor, who seemed to recall some history
with an exception discussion. Staff looked in to the history and in 2011-2012, the City Council looked at
the regulations as they applied to dock usage and ultimately they landed on current code/regulation. Does
the Council want to entertain the change to the code and if so, is there anything particular they would like
to see and then can come back and go through the process to make those changes.
Walsh said the discussion is not unknown people coming and renting docks, as the City does not allow
that; the issue now is a neighbor complaining about another neighbor, as someone across the street who is
friends with someone on the water and has allowed them to put their boat there, or maybe more than one.
The Council is dealing with neighbors complaining about neighbors trying to do neighborly things for
their friends across the street. He said is the relevant exception 1,000 feet or 100 feet and if so 100 feet

1. Purpose. This application is regarding variances (for lot area and lot width; hardcover and
building within the 75-foot setback); and conditional use permits (for grading in the floodplain
and plumbing within an accessory building) in order to develop the vacant property.
2. MN§15.99 Application Deadline. The application was received on March 13, 2020 and
considered to be complete on October 26th. Therefore the 60-Day review period expires on
December 25, 2020.
3. Background/ Summary. This property has a history of variances to redevelop beginning in
2009 when the home was demolished. Variances were granted, renewed, and eventually expired
due to inactivity. In 2017, new owners, Bill and Kathleen Wanner, requested approvals to develop
the property. Those plans were delayed and the approvals expired. The Wanners wish to proceed
with construction of their home and are currently requesting similar approvals to do so.
Additionally included is a conditional use permit to allow plumbing within the proposed
accessory building.
The current plans reflect less hardcover in the 75-foot setback and the average lakeshore setback
encroachments have been reduced from the previously approved plans. Still required are
approvals to permit the modifications to the floodplain to facilitate elevation of the home out of
the floodplain. The applicant is working with the MCWD to assure proper permitting and
appropriate floodplain mitigation. There will be import and export of materials throughout the
project. The City’s Engineer has reviewed and approved the grading plan.

variance is still necessary. Variances from the floodplain management ordinance may result in
increased flood insurance premiums.
4. Planning Commission Vote and Comment. On October 19th, the Planning Commission held a
public hearing. Following the public hearing the Planning Commission voted 5 to 1 on a motion
to approve the variances and CUPs for the proposed plan with the stipulation that required 15-
foot elevation bench required for floodplain protection be met. The Planning Commission did not
support the 15’ bench variance.
5. Public Comment. Comments from the neighbors have not been received.
6. Staff Recommendation. Staff recommends approval of the plan with the exception of the
variance to permit a lessened elevation bench around the home. Staff recommends denial of this
variance.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
Honorable Mayor and City Council
City of Orono, Minnesota
Report on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, each
major fund and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of Orono, Minnesota (the City), as of and for the year
ended December 31, 2019, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the City’s basic
financial statements as listed in the table of contents.
Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and
maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements that are free
from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in
accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we
plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material
misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor
considers internal control relevant to the City’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to
design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the
effectiveness of the City’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the
appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinions.
Opinions
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the respective financial
position of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, each major fund and the aggregate remaining fund
information of the City as of December 31, 2019, and the respective changes in financial position and, where applicable,
cash flows thereof and the respective budgetary comparison for the General fund for the year then ended in accordance
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Other Matters
Required Supplementary Information
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the Management’s Discussion and
Analysis starting on page 27 and the Schedules of Employer’s Share of the Net Pension Liability, the Schedules of
Employer’s Contributions, the related notes disclosures and the Schedule of Changes in the City’s OPEB Liability and
Related Ratios starting on page 88 be presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such information, although
not a part of the basic financial statements, is required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board who considers it
to be an essential part of financial reporting for placing the basic financial statements in an appropriate operational,
economic, or historical context. We have applied certain limited procedures to the required supplementary information in
accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, which consisted of inquiries of
management about the methods of preparing the information and comparing the information for consistency with
management’s responses to our inquiries, the basic financial statements, and other knowledge we obtained during our
audit of the basic financial statements. We do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the information
because the limited procedures do not provide us with sufficient evidence to express an opinion or provide any assurance.
Other Information
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that collectively comprise the
City’s basic financial statements. The introductory section, statistical section and combining and individual fund financial
statements and schedules are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic
financial statements.
The combining and individual fund financial statements, schedules are the responsibility of management and were derived
from and relate directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements. Such
information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and certain
additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other
records used to prepare the basic financial statements or to the basic financial statements themselves, and other additional
procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion, the
combining and individual fund financial statements and schedules are fairly stated, in all material respects in relation to the
basic financial statements as a whole.
The introductory section and statistical section have not been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of
the basic financial statements, and accordingly, we do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on them.
Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated NEED DATE, on our
consideration of the City’s internal control over financial reporting and on our tests of its compliance with certain provisions
of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements and other matters. The purpose of that report is solely to describe
the scope of our testing of internal control over financial reporting and compliance and the results of that testing, and not
to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the City’s internal control over financial reporting or on compliance. That
report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the
City’s internal control over financial reporting and compliance.

Overview of the Financial Statements
This discussion and analysis is intended to serve as an introduction to the City’s basic financial statements. The City’s
basic financial statements comprise three components: 1) government-wide financial statements, 2) fund financial
statements, and 3) notes to the financial statements. This report also contains other supplemental information in addition
to the basic financial statements themselves. The following chart shows how the various parts of this annual report are
arranged and related to one another:
The financial statements also include notes that explain some of the information in the financial statements and provide
more detailed data. The statements are followed by a section of combining and individual fund financial statements and
schedules that further explains and supports the information in the financial statements. Figure 1 shows how the required
parts of this annual report are arranged and relate to one another. In addition to these required elements, we have
included a section with combining and individual fund financial statements and schedules that provide details about
nonmajor governmental funds, which are added together and presented in single columns in the basic financial
statements. Internal service funds statements are also included, reflecting balances prior to their elimination from the
government-wide financial statements, to avoid “doubling-up” effect within the governmental and business-type activities
columns of said statements.

Government-wide Financial Statements.The government-wide financial statements are designed to provide readers
with a broad overview of the City’s finances, in a manner similar to a private-sector business.
The statement of net position presents information on all of the City’s assets, deferred outflows, liabilities, and deferred
inflows, with the difference reported as net position. Over time, increases or decreases in net position may serve as a
useful indicator of whether the financial position of the City is improving or deteriorating.
The statement of activities presents information showing how the City’s net position changed during the most recent fiscal
year. All changes in net position are reported as soon as the underlying event giving rise to the change occurs, regardless
of the timing of related cash flows. Thus, revenues and expenses are reported in this statement for some items that will
only result in cash flows in future fiscal periods (e.g., uncollected taxes and earned but unused vacation leave).
Both of the government-wide financial statements distinguish functions of the City that are principally supported by taxes
and intergovernmental revenue (governmental activities) from other functions that are intended to recover all or a
significant portion of their costs through user fees and charges (business-type activities). The governmental activities of
the City include general government, public safety, public works, culture and recreation, community development, and
interest on long-term debt. The business-type activities of the City include water and sewer utilities and the golf course.
The government-wide financial statements start on page 41 of this report.

Fund Financial Statements.A fund is a grouping of related accounts that is used to maintain control over resources that
have been segregated for specific activities or objectives. The City, like other state and local governments, uses fund
accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance-related legal requirements. All of the funds of the City can
be divided into three categories: governmental funds, proprietary funds, and fiduciary funds.
Governmental Funds.Governmental funds are used to account for essentially the same functions reported as
governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements. However, unlike the government-wide financial
statements, governmental fund financial statements focus on near-term inflows and outflows of spendable resources, as
well as on balances of spendable resources available at the end of the fiscal year. Such information may be useful in
evaluating a government’s near-term financing requirements.
Because the focus of governmental funds is narrower than that of the government-wide financial statements, it is useful to
compare the information presented for governmental funds with similar information presented for governmental activities
in the government-wide financial statements. By doing so, readers may better understand the long-term impact by the
government’s near-term financing decisions. Both the governmental fund balance sheet and the governmental fund
statement of revenues, expenditures and changes in fund balances provide a reconciliation to facilitate this comparison
between governmental funds and governmental activities.
The City maintains numerous individual governmental funds. Information is presented separately in the governmental fund
balance sheet and in the governmental fund statement of revenues, expenditures and changes in fund balances for the
General fund, Pavement Management Plan and Municipal State Aid Street funds, which are all considered to be major
funds. Data from the other governmental funds are combined into a single, aggregated presentation. Individual fund data
for each of these nonmajor governmental funds is provided in the form of combining statements or schedules elsewhere
in this report.
The City adopts an annual appropriated budget for its General fund. A budgetary comparison statement has been
provided for these funds to demonstrate compliance with its budget.
The basic governmental fund financial statements start on page 46 of this report.
Proprietary Funds. Proprietary funds provide the same type of information as the government-wide financial statements,
only in more detail. The proprietary fund financial statements provide separate information for all the water, sewer, and
golf course funds, which are considered to be major funds of the City. Conversely, all internal service funds are combined
into a single aggregated presentation in the proprietary fund financial statements. Individual fund data for the internal
service funds is provided in the form of combining statements elsewhere in this report.
The City maintains two different types of proprietary funds. Enterprise funds are used to report the same functions
presented as business-type activities in the government-wide financial statements. The City uses enterprise funds to
account for its water, sanitary sewer and golf operations. Internal service funds are an accounting device used to
accumulate and allocate costs internally among the City's various functions. The City uses internal service funds to
account for insurance, compensated absences, fleet management and IT services. Because these services benefit both
governmental and business-type activities, they are allocated to both governmental and business-type activities in the
government-wide financial statements.
The basic proprietary fund financial statements start on page 52 of this report.
Notes to the Financial Statements.The notes provide additional information that is essential to a full understanding of
the data provided in the government-wide and fund financial statements. The notes to the financial statements start on
page 59 of this report.
Other Information.In addition to the basic financial statements and accompanying notes, this report also presents
certain required supplementary information concerning the City’s progress in funding its obligation to provide pensions
and other postemployment benefits to its employees.
Required supplementary information can be found starting on page 88 of this report.
The combining statements referred to earlier in connection with nonmajor governmental funds and internal service funds
are presented following the required supplementary information.

Government-wide Financial Analysis
As noted earlier, net position may serve over time as a useful indicator of a government’s financial position. In the case of
the City, assets and deferred outflows of resources exceeded liabilities and deferred inflows of resources by $52,895,092
at the close of the most recent fiscal year.
By far, the largest portion of the City’s net position (83.5 percent) reflects its investment in capital assets (e.g., land,
buildings, machinery and equipment) less any related debt used to acquire those assets that is still outstanding. The City
uses these capital assets to provide services to citizens; consequently, these assets are not available for future spending.
Although the City’s investment in its capital assets is reported net of related debt, it should be noted that the resources
needed to repay this debt must be provided from other sources, since the capital assets themselves cannot be used to
liquidate these liabilities.

Financial Analysis of the City’s Funds
As noted earlier, the City uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance-related legal
requirements.
Governmental Funds. The focus of the City’s governmental funds is to provide information on near-term inflows, outflows
and balances of spendable resources. Such information is useful in assessing the City’s financing requirements. In
particular, unassigned fund balance may serve as a useful measure of a government’s net resources available for
spending at the end of the fiscal year.
As of the end of the current fiscal year, the City’s governmental funds had combined ending fund balances of $7,719,676,
an increase of $126,306 in comparison with the prior year. Approximately 12.3 percent of this total amount, $1,611,964,
constitutes unassigned fund balance, which is available for spending at the City’s discretion. The remainder of fund
balance is not available for new spending because it is either 1) nonspendable $119,157, 2) restricted $3,250,008, 3)
committed $16,741, or 4) assigned $2,721,806. For further classification refer to Note 3F starting on page 76 of this
report.

Reconciliation of the Statement of Revenues, Expenditures and
Changes in Fund Balances to the Statement of Activities
Governmental Funds
For the Year Ended December 31, 2019
Amounts reported for governmental activities in the statement of activities are different because
Total Net Change in Fund Balances - Governmental Funds 126,306$
Capital outlays are reported in governmental funds as expenditures. However, in the statement of
activities, the cost of those assets is allocated over the estimated useful lives as depreciation expense.
Capital outlays 2,392,471
Depreciation expense (861,161)
Governmental funds report a gain (loss) on sale of capital assets to the extent of cash exchanged, whereas the
disposition of the assets book value is included in the total gain (loss) in the statement of activities. 22,000
The issuance of long-term debt provides current financial resources to governmental funds, while the
repayment of principal of long-term debt consumes the current financial resources of governmental
funds. Neither transaction, however, has any effect on net position. Also, governmental funds report
the effect of premiums, discounts and similar items when debt is first issued, whereas these amounts
are amortized in the statement of activities.
Principal repayments 890,000
Current year amortization of deferred charges 25,950
Interest on long-term debt in the statement of activities differs from the amount reported in the
governmental fund because interest is recognized as an expenditure in the funds when it is due,
and thus requires the use of current financial resources. In the statement of activities, however,
interest expense is recognized as the interest accrues, regardless of when it is due. 8,271
Internal service funds are used by the City to charge the cost of compensated absences, liability,
property, and workers compensation insurance, vehicles and equipment, centralized purchase
of consumable office supplies, maintaining facilities, and maintenance of computer systems.
These balances are reported with governmental activities in the statement of activities. 61,430
Certain revenues are recognized as soon as they are earned. Under the modified accrual basis of accounting,
certain revenues cannot be recognized until they are available to liquidate liabilities of the current period.
Special assessments 11,583
Property taxes (2,196)
Intergovernmental (80,461)
Some expenses reported in the statement of activities do not require the use of current financial resources
and therefore are not reported as expenditures in governmental funds.
Compensated absences (7,541)

Long-term pension activity is not reported in governmental funds.

Notes to the Financial Statements
December 31, 2019
Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
A. Reporting Entity
The City of Orono (the City) operates under the State of Minnesota Statutory Plan A form of government. Under this plan,
the City Council, composed of an elected mayor and four elected trustees or council members, exercises legislative
authority and determines all matters of policy. The City Administrator, appointed by the City Council, is responsible for the
proper administering of all affairs relating to the City.
The City has considered all potential units for which it is financially accountable, and other organizations for which the
nature and significance of their relationship with the City are such that exclusion would cause the City’s financial
statements to be misleading or incomplete. The City includes all funds, organizations, institutions, agencies, departments,
and offices that are not legally separate from such. Component units are legally separate organizations for which the
elected officials of the City are financially accountable and are included within the basic financial statements of the City
because of their operational or financial relationships with the City. The Governmental Accounting Standards Board
(GASB) has set forth criteria to be considered in determining financial accountability. These criteria include appointing a
voting majority of an organization’s governing body, and (1) the ability of the primary government to impose its will on that
organization or (2) the potential for the organization to provide specific benefits to, or impose specific financial burdens on
the primary government. Included in the City’s reporting entity, based upon the application of these criteria, is the following
blended component unit.
Blended Component Unit
The Orono Housing and Redevelopment Authority (Orono HRA) is a legally separate organization created in accordance
with Minnesota Statute § 469.003. Its purpose is to clear and redevelop blighted areas within the City and to provide
adequate housing for low and moderate income residents. The Orono HRA is fiscally dependent upon the City, and its
governing board consists of the City’s mayor and council members. Therefore, the Orono HRA has been reported as a
blended component unit of the City, with its funds reported as though they are funds of the City. The financial activity at
this time is limited to debt payments within the Orono HRA debt service funds, namely the public facilities and project
revenue bonds.
B. Government-wide and Fund Financial Statements
The government-wide financial statements (i.e., the statement of net position and the statement of activities) report
information on all of the nonfiduciary activities of the primary government.Governmental activities, which normally are
supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues, are reported separately from business-type activities, which rely to a
significant extent on fees and charges for support.
The statement of activities demonstrates the degree to which the direct expenses of a given function or segment are
offset by program revenues. Direct expenses are those that are clearly identifiable with a specific function or segment.
Amounts reported as program revenues include 1) charges to customers or applicants who purchase, use, or directly
benefit from goods, services, or privileges provided by a given function or segment and 2) grants and contributions that
are restricted to meeting the operational or capital requirements of a particular function or segment. Taxes and other items
not included among program revenues are reported instead as general revenues.
Separate financial statements are provided for governmental funds and proprietary funds. Major individual governmental
funds and major individual enterprise funds are reported as separate columns in the fund financial statements.

Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
C. Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting and Financial Statement Presentation
The government-wide financial statements are reported using the economic resources measurement focus and the
accrual basis of accounting, as are the proprietary fund financial statements. Revenues are recorded when earned and
expenses are recorded when a liability is incurred, regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Property taxes are
recognized as revenues in the year for which they are levied. Grants and similar items are recognized as revenue as soon
as all eligibility requirements imposed by the provider have been met.
Governmental fund financial statements are reported using the current financial resources measurement focus and the
modified accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recognized as soon as they are both measurable and available.
Revenues are considered to be available when they are collectible within the current period or soon enough thereafter to
pay liabilities of the current period. For this purpose, the City considers revenues to be available if they are collected
within 60 days of the end of the current fiscal period. Expenditures generally are recorded when a liability is incurred, as
under accrual accounting. However, debt service expenditures, as well as expenditures related to compensated
absences, pensions, and claims and judgments, are recorded only when payment is due.
Property taxes, franchise taxes, licenses and interest associated with the current fiscal period are all considered to be
susceptible to accrual and so have been recognized as revenues of the current fiscal period. Only the portion of special
assessments receivable due within the current fiscal period is considered to be susceptible to accrual as revenue of the
current period. All other revenue items are considered to be measurable and available only when cash is received by the
City.
Revenue resulting from exchange transactions, in which each party gives and receives essentially equal value, is
recorded on the accrual basis when the exchange takes place. On a modified accrual basis, revenue is recorded in the
year in which the resources are measurable and become available.
Non-exchange transactions, in which the City receives value without directly giving equal value in return, include property
taxes, grants, entitlement and donations. On an accrual basis, revenue from property taxes is recognized in the year for
which the tax is levied. Revenue from grants, entitlements and donations is recognized in the year in which all eligibility
requirements have been satisfied. Eligibility requirements include timing requirements, which specify the year when the
resources are required to be used or the year when use is first permitted, matching requirements, in which the City must
provide local resources to be used for a specified purpose, and expenditure requirements, in which the resources are
provided to the City on a reimbursement basis. On a modified accrual basis, revenue from non-exchange transactions
must also be available before it can be recognized.
Unearned revenue arises when assets are recognized before revenue recognition criteria have been satisfied. Grants and
entitlements received before eligibility requirements are met are also recorded as unearned revenue.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures.
Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.

Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
The City reports the following major governmental funds:
The General fund is the government’s primary operating fund. It accounts for all financial resources of the general
government, except those required to be accounted for in another fund.
The Municipal State Aid Street fund is used to collect and spend resources on the various projects related to state aid
streets and highways.
The Pavement Management Plan fund is used to collect and spend resources on the various road construction
projects of the City.
The City reports the following major proprietary funds:
The Water fund and the Sewer fund account for activities related to the operation of a water distribution system and a
sanitary sewer distribution system, respectively.
The Sewer Fund is used to account for the provision of water services to the residents of the City who have sanitary
sewer service available.
The Storm Water Fund is used to account for the charges for and the costs of maintaining the City’s storm water
system.
The City’s proprietary funds also include the following:
Internal service funds account for insurance, compensated absences, fleet management, and IT services provided to
other departments or agencies of the City. These funds are used to account for the insurance costs incurred by the
City for general liability, property, vehicle, workers’ compensation, and other insurance and deductibles, the accrual of
sick and vacation days that are earned by the City’s employees, repairs and maintenance costs of the City’s vehicles,
and IT services provided to various City functions. These funds are reimbursed through charges to the various
participating departments of the City.
As a general rule the effect of interfund activity has been eliminated from government-wide financial statements.
Exceptions to this general rule are payments in-lieu of taxes, payments where the amounts are reasonably equivalent in
value to the interfund services provided and other charges between the City’s water and sewer function and various other
functions of the City. Elimination of these charges would distort the direct costs and program revenues reported for the
various functions concerned.
Proprietary funds distinguish operating revenues and expenses from non-operating items. Operating revenues and
expenses generally result from providing services and producing and delivering goods in connection with a proprietary
fund’s principal ongoing operations. The principal operating revenues of the enterprise funds and of the City’s internal
service funds are charges to customers for sales and services. Operating expenses for enterprise funds and internal
service funds include the cost of sales and services, administrative expenses, and depreciation on capital assets. All
revenues and expenses not meeting this definition are reported as non-operating revenues and expenses.

Balance
Deposits and Investments
Cash balances from all funds are combined and invested to the extent available in short term investments. Earnings from
the pooled investments are allocated to the individual funds based on the average monthly cash and investment balances
of the respective funds.The City’s cash and cash equivalents are considered to be cash on hand, demand deposits and
short-term investments. The proprietary funds’ portion in the government-wide cash and temporary investments pool is
considered to be cash and cash equivalents for purposes of the Statement of Cash Flows.
Cash balances from all funds are pooled and invested, to the extent available, in certificates of deposit and other
authorized investments. Earnings from such investments are allocated on the basis of applicable participation by each of
the funds.
The City may also invest idle funds as authorized by Minnesota statutes, as follows:
1. Direct obligations or obligations guaranteed by the United States or its agencies.
2. Shares of investment companies registered under the Federal Investment Company Act of 1940 and received the
highest credit rating, rated in one of the two highest rating categories by a statistical rating agency, and have a

branch of a foreign bank, a United States insurance company, or its Canadian subsidiary, whose similar debt
obligations were rated in one of the top two rating categories by a nationally recognized rating agency.
The City categorizes its fair value measurements within the fair value hierarchy established by generally accepted
accounting principles. The hierarchy is based on the valuation inputs used to measure the fair value of the asset. Level 1
inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets; Level 2 inputs are significant other observable inputs; Level

Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
The City has the following recurring fair value measurements as of December 31, 2019:
Negotiable certificates of deposits and municipal bonds of $10,611,614 are valued using a matrix pricing model
(Level 2 inputs)
Property Taxes
Property taxes are submitted to the County Auditor by December of each year, to be levied on January 1 on property
values assessed as of the same date. The tax levy notice is mailed in March with the first half payment due on May 15
and the second half payment due on October 15.
Unpaid taxes at December 31 become liens on the respective property and are classified in the fund financial statements
as delinquent taxes receivable.
Delinquent taxes receivable include the past six years' uncollected taxes. Delinquent taxes have been offset by a deferred
inflow of resources for taxes not received within 60 days after year end in the governmental fund financial statements.
Accounts Receivable
All miscellaneous accounts receivable are shown at net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. Accounts receivable
include amounts billed for services, such as water, sewer, storm water and nuisance charges, provided before year end.
Unbilled utility enterprise fund receivables are also included for services provided in 2019. The City annually certifies
delinquent water, sewer, storm water and nuisance accounts to the County for collection in the following year. Therefore,
there has been no allowance for doubtful accounts established.
All trade (utility) and property tax receivables are shown at gross amount, since both taxes and trade (utility) receivables
are assessable to the property taxes and are collectible upon the sale of the assessed property.
Due From Other Governments
The amounts due from other government primarily include amounts for project cost in which the City is receiving grants to
support the projects.
Special Assessments
Special assessments represent the financing for public improvements paid for by benefiting property owners. These
assessments are recorded as receivables upon certification to the County. Special assessments are recognized as
revenue when they are received in cash or within 60 days after year end. All governmental special assessments
receivable are offset by a deferred inflow of resources in the fund financial statements. At December 31, 2019, the total
delinquent special assessment receivable balance is $18,275.
Interfund Receivables and Payables
Activity between funds that are representative of lending/borrowing arrangements outstanding at the end of the fiscal year
are referred to as either “due to/from other funds” (i.e., the current portion of interfund loans) or “advances to/from other
funds” (i.e., the non-current portion of interfund loans). All other outstanding balances between funds are reported as “due
to/from other funds.” Any residual balances outstanding between the governmental activities and business-type activities
are reported in the government-wide financial statements as “internal balances.”

Inventories and Prepaid Items
All inventories are valued at cost using the first in/first out (FIFO) method. Inventories of governmental funds are recorded
as expenditures when consumed rather than when purchased.
Certain payments to vendors reflect costs applicable to future accounting periods and are recorded as prepaid items in
both government-wide and fund financial statements. Prepaid items are reported using the consumption method and
recorded as expenditures/expenses at the time of consumption.
Capital Assets
Capital assets, which include property, buildings, improvements, equipment, and infrastructure assets are reported in the
applicable governmental or business-type activities columns in the government-wide financial statements. Such assets
are capitalized at historical cost, or estimated historical cost for assets where actual historical cost is not available.
Donated assets are recorded as capital assets at their acquisition value at the date of donation. The City defines capital
assets as those with an initial, individual cost of $5,000 or more for government-wide and $5,000 for proprietary funds with
an estimated useful life in excess of one year. The cost of normal maintenance and repairs that do not add to the value of
the asset or materially extend asset lives are not capitalized. As allowed by accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States of America, the City has elected not to retroactively capitalize the infrastructure of its governmental
activities acquired prior to January 1, 2004.
Capital assets are recorded in the government-wide and proprietary fund financial statements, but are not reported in the
governmental fund financial statements. Interest incurred during the construction phase of capital assets for business-type
activities is included as part of the capitalized value of the assets constructed. Capital assets are depreciated using the
straight-line method over their estimated useful lives. Land and construction in progress are not depreciated.
Property, plant and equipment of the City is depreciated using the straight line method over the following estimated useful
lives:
Useful Life
Assets in Years
Infrastructure 20 - 50
Buildings and Systems 15 - 50
Improvements Other Than Buildings 20 - 50
Machinery and Equipment 5 - 10
Deferred Outflows of Resources
In addition to assets, the statement of net position will sometimes report a separate section for deferred outflows of
resources. This separate financial statement element, deferred outflows of resources, represents a consumption of net
position that applies to a future period(s) and so will not be recognized as an outflow of resources (expense/expenditure)
until then. The City has two items which qualify for reporting in this category. Accordingly, the items, deferred pension
resources and deferred other postemployment benefit resources, are reported only in the statement of net position. These
items result from actuarial calculations and current year pension contributions and OPEB contributions made subsequent
to the measurement dates.

Compensated Absences
Certain City employees earn personal time off, vacation, compensation time, and sick leave at various rates based on
longevity. These compensated absences are paid to an employee leaving in good standing, at their current rate of pay,
with the exception of sick leave in which one-half is paid to the departing employee. A liability for these amounts is
reported in governmental funds only if they have matured, for example, as a result of employee resignations and
retirements. For the most part, the General fund is typically used to liquidate governmental compensated absences
payable.
Postemployment Benefits other than Pensions
Under Minnesota statute 471.61, subdivision 2b, public employers must allow retirees and their dependents to continue
coverage indefinitely in an employer-sponsored health care plan, under the following conditions: 1) Retirees must be
receiving (or eligible to receive) an annuity from a Minnesota public pension plan, 2) Coverage must continue in a group
plan until age 65, and retirees must pay no more than the group premium, and 3) Retirees are able to add dependent
coverage during open enrollment period or qualifying life event prior to retirement. All premiums are funded on a pay-as-
you-go basis. The liability was determined, in accordance with GASB Statement No. 75, at January 1, 2018. The General
fund is typically used to liquidate governmental other postemployment benefits payable.
Long-term Obligations
In the government-wide financial statements, and proprietary fund types in the fund financial statements, long-term debt
and other long-term obligations are reported as liabilities in the applicable governmental activities, business-type activities,
or proprietary fund type statement of net position. The recognition of bond premiums and discounts are amortized over the
life of the bonds using the straight-line method. Bonds payable are reported net of the applicable bond premium or
discount. Bond issuance costs are reported as an expense in the period incurred. In accordance with federal regulations,
the City’s general obligation tax exempt bonds follow the arbitrage requirements.
In the fund financial statements, governmental fund types recognize bond premiums and discounts, as well as bond
issuance costs, during the current period. The face amount of debt issued is reported as other financing sources.
Premiums received on debt issuances are reported as other financing sources while discounts on debt issuances are
reported as other financing uses. Issuance costs, whether or not withheld from the actual debt proceeds received, are
reported as debt service expenditures.
Pensions
For purposes of measuring the net pension liability, deferred outflows/inflows of resources, and pension expense,
information about the fiduciary net position of the Public Employees Retirement Association (PERA) and additions
to/deductions from PERA’s fiduciary net position have been determined on the same basis as they are reported by PERA
except that PERA’s fiscal year end is June 30. For this purpose, plan contributions are recognized as of employer payroll
paid dates and benefit payments and refunds are recognized when due and payable in accordance with the benefit terms.
Investments are reported at fair value. For the most part, the General fund is typically used to liquidate governmental
pension liabilities.
For purposes of measuring the net pension liability (asset), deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of

Deferred Inflows of Resources
In addition to liabilities, the statement of net position and fund financial statements will sometimes report a separate
section for deferred inflows of resources. This separate financial statement element, deferred inflows of resources,
represents an acquisition of net position that applies to a future period(s) and so will not be recognized as an inflow of
resources (revenue) until that time. The City has two types of items, which arise only under a modified accrual basis of
accounting that qualifies as needing to be reported in this category. Accordingly, one of the items, unavailable revenue, is
reported only in the governmental funds balance sheet. The governmental funds report unavailable revenues from three
sources: property taxes, special assessments and intergovernmental. These amounts are deferred and recognized as an
inflow of resources in the period that the amounts become available.
Furthermore, the City has additional items which qualify for reporting in this category on the statement of net position.
The items, deferred pension resources and deferred other postemployment benefit resources, are reported only in the
statement of net position and results from actuarial calculations involving net differences between projected and actual
earnings on plan investments and changes in proportions.
Net Position
Net position represents the difference between assets and deferred outflows of resources and liabilities and deferred
inflows of resources. Net position is displayed in three components:
a. Net investment in capital assets - Consists of capital assets, net of accumulated depreciation reduced by any
outstanding debt attributable to acquire capital assets.
a. Restricted net position - Consists of net position balances restricted when there are limitations imposed on their
use through external restrictions imposed by creditors, grantors, laws or regulations of other governments.
b. Unrestricted net position - All other net position balances that do not meet the definition of “restricted” or “net
investment in capital assets”.
When both restricted and unrestricted resources are available for use, it is the City’s policy to use restricted resources
first, then unrestricted resources as they are needed.

Fund Balance
In the fund financial statements, fund balance is divided into five classifications based primarily on the extent to which the
City is bound to observe constraints imposed upon the use of resources reported in the governmental funds. These
classifications are defined as follows:
Nonspendable - Amounts that cannot be spent because they are not in spendable form, such as prepaid items.
Restricted - Amounts related to externally imposed constraints established by creditors, grantors or contributors; or
constraints imposed by state statutory provisions.
Committed - Amounts constrained for specific purposes that are internally imposed by formal action (resolution) of the
City Council, which is the City’s highest level of decision-making authority. Committed amounts cannot be used for
any other purpose unless the City Council modifies or rescinds the commitment by resolution.
Assigned - These are amounts that are constrained by the City’s intent to be used for specific purposes but are
neither restricted nor committed. Pursuant to the Fund Balance Policy approved by City Council, the City
Administrator has been delegated the authority to assign and remove assignments of fund balance amounts for
specific purposes.
Unassigned - These are residual amounts in the General fund not reported in any other classification. The General
fund is the only fund that can report a positive unassigned fund balance. Other funds would report a negative
unassigned fund balance should the total of nonspendable, restricted and committed fund balances exceed the total
net resources of that fund.
The City considers restricted amounts to be spent first when both restricted and unrestricted fund balance is available.
Additionally, the City would first use committed, then assigned, and lastly unassigned amounts of unrestricted fund
balance when expenditures are made.
The City formally adopted a fund balance policy for the General Fund. The policy establishes a year-end target
unassigned fund balance of 45% of the fund’s annual operating budget. Unassigned fund balance in excess of 50% will
be transferred to the Pavement Management Plan Fund pursuant to Council approval

A. Budgetary Information
Each fall, after holding a meeting to obtain public comments, the City Council legally adopts the General Fund and any
major special revenue funds. These budgets are adopted on a basis consistent with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America.
The City has established budgetary control at the department level. City management must request City Council approval
before exceeding the budget at that level. City management may transfer appropriations within the department level
without City Council approval. Appropriations lapse at year-end; however, the City Council may approve the carryover of
specific amounts. Encumbrance accounting is not used.

unique investment alternative designed to address the daily and long-term investment needs of Minnesota cities and other
municipal entities. Allowable under Minnesota statutes, the 4M Fund is comprised of top quality, rated investments.
The Minnesota Municipal Money Market Fund and broker money market investment pools operate in accordance with
appropriate State laws and regulations. The 4M Fund is an external investment pool not registered with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (SEC); however, it follows the same regulatory rules of the SEC under rule 2a7. The reported

Note 3: Detailed Notes on All Funds (Continued)
The investments of the City are subject to the following risks:
Interest Rate Risk is the risk that changes in interest rates will adversely affect the fair value of an investment. The
City’s investment policy also provides a guideline that generally limits the duration of investments to a maturity of
eight years, and twenty percent (20 percent) of the portfolio to a specific maturity. The City was not exposed to
interest rate risks due to the fact that their investments are not exposed to highly sensitive changes in interest
rates.
Credit Risk. Credit risk is the risk that an issuer or other counterparty to an investment will not fulfill its obligations.
Ratings are provided by various credit rating agencies and where applicable, indicate associated credit risk.
Minnesota statutes and the City’s investment policy limit the City’s investments to the list on page 6 of the notes
to the financial statements. In accordance with its investment policy, the City will minimize credit risk by limiting
investments to the safest types of securities, pre-qualifying the financial institutions, broker/dealers, intermediaries,
and advisers with which the City will do business, and diversifying the investment portfolio so that the impact of
potential losses from any one type of security or from any one individual issuer will be minimized.
The City’s investment policies do not allow investing in the following instruments:
Reverse repurchase agreements
Mortgage-backed securities, as defined in Minnesota Statute § 118A.04, Subd. 6
Future contracts
Options
Guaranteed investment contracts
Concentration of Credit Risk. Concentration of credit risk is defined as positions of five percent (5 percent) or more
in the securities of a single issuer. The City’s investment policies provide a guideline of limiting investments to 35%
of a specific type. As of December 31, 2019, the following issuer exceeded 5 percent of the City’s total
investments:MN Municipal Money Markets (4M)(16.02 percent).
Custodial Credit Risk- Deposits. In the case of deposits, this is the risk that in the event of a bank failure, the City's
deposits may not be returned to it. Minnesota statutes and the City's investment policy states that in order to
provide a level of security for all funds, the collateralization level will be 110 percent of market value not covered
by insurance. The City’s investment policies further limit depositories to those located in the state of Minnesota,
and must have a minimum capital and surplus of $10,000,000 and a net worth to asset ratio minimum of 5 percent,
except for the City’s main checking account at the First National Bank of the Lakes, Navarre. As of December 31,
2019, all of the City's bank balance was covered by federal depository insurance or by perfected collateral held by
the City's agent in the City's name.
Custodial Credit Risk - Investments. For an investment, this is the risk that, in the event of the failure of the
counterparty, the City will not be able to recover the value of its investments or collateral securities that are in
possession of an outside party. As of December 31, 2019, all securities were held by the City or its agent in the
City's name. The City typically limits its exposure by purchasing insured or registered investments, or by the
control of who holds the securities. City investment policies require that security/broker/dealers be restricted to
those regulated by the Securities and Exchange Commission, have a minimum capital of $40,000,000 and may
include “primary” dealers or regional dealers, and are located in Minnesota. The City limits the amount of
investments with a specific dealer to 30 percent of the investment portfolio.

Note 4: Defined Benefit Pension Plans - Statewide
A. Plan Description
The City participates in the following cost-sharing multiple-employer defined benefit pension plans administered by the
Public Employees Retirement Association of Minnesota (PERA). PERA’s defined benefit pension plans are established
and administered in accordance with Minnesota statutes, chapters 353 and 356. PERA’s defined benefit pension plans
are tax qualified plans under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code.
General Employees Retirement Plan (GERP)
All full-time and certain part-time employees of the City are covered by the General Employees Retirement Plan (GERP).
GERP members belong to the Coordinated Plan. Coordinated Plan members are covered by Social Security.
Public Employees Police and Fire Plan (PEPFP)
The PEPFP, originally established for police officers and firefighters not covered by a local relief association, now covers
all police officers and firefighters hired since 1980. Effective July 1, 1999, the PEPFP also covers police officers and
firefighters belonging to a local relief association that elected to merge with and transfer assets and administration to
PERA.
B. Benefits Provided
PERA provides retirement, disability and death benefits. Benefit provisions are established by state statute and can only
be modified by the state Legislature. Vested, terminated employees who are entitled to benefits but are not receiving
them yet are bound by the provisions in effect at the time they last terminated their public service.
GERP Benefits
GERP benefits are based on a member’s highest average salary for any five successive years of allowable service, age,
and years of credit at termination of service. Two methods are used to compute benefits for PERA's Coordinated Plan
members. Members hired prior to July 1, 1989 receive the higher of Method 1 or Method 2 formulas. Only Method 2 is
used for members hired after June 30, 1989. Under Method 1, the accrual rate for Coordinated members is 1.2 percent of
average salary for each of the first 10 years of service and 1.7 percent of average salary for each additional year. Under
Method 2, the accrual rate for Coordinated members is 1.7 percent for average salary for all years of service. For
members hired prior to July 1, 1989 a full annuity is available when age plus years of service equal 90 and normal
retirement age is 65. For members hired on or after July 1, 1989 normal retirement age is the age for unreduced Social
Security benefits capped at 66.
Annuities, disability benefits and survivor benefits are increased effective every January 1. Beginning January 1, 2019, the
postretirement increase will be equal to 50 percent of the cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) announced by the SSA, with a
minimum increase of at least 1 percent and a maximum of 1.5 percent. Recipients that have been receiving the annuity or
benefit for at least a full year as of the June 30 before the effective date of the increase will receive the full increase. For
recipients receiving the annuity or benefit for at least one month but less than a full year as of the June 30 before the
effective date of the increase will receive a reduced prorated increase. For members retiring on January 1, 2024, or later,
the increase will be delayed until normal retirement age (age 65 if hired prior to July 1, 1989, or age 66 for individuals
hired on or after July 1, 1989). Members retiring under Rule of 90 are exempt from the delay to normal retirement.
PEPFP Benefits
Benefits for the PEPFP members first hired after June 30, 2010, but before July 1, 2014, vest on a prorated basis from
50 percent after five years up to 100 percent after ten years of credited service. Benefits for PEPFP members first hired
after June 30, 2014 vest on a prorated basis from 50 percent after ten years up to 100 percent after twenty years of
credited service. The annuity accrual rate is 3.0 percent of average salary for each year of service. A full, unreduced
pension is earned when members are age 55 and vested, or for members who were first hired prior to July 1, 1989, when
age plus years of service equal at least 90.

D. Pension Costs
General Employees Fund Pension Costs
At December 31, 2019, the City reported a liability of $1,476,182 for its proportionate share of the General Employees
Fund’s net pension liability. The City’s net pension liability reflected a reduction due to the State of Minnesota’s
contribution of $16 million to the fund in 2019. The State of Minnesota is considered a non-employer contributing entity
and the State’s contribution meets the definition of a special funding situation. The State of Minnesota’s proportionate
share of the net pension liability associated with the City totaled $45,831. The net pension liability was measured as of
June 30, 2019, and the total pension liability used to calculate the net pension liability was determined by an actuarial
valuation as of that date. The City’s proportionate share of the net pension liability was based on the City’s contributions
received by PERA during the measurement period for employer payroll paid dates from July 1, 2018 through
June 30, 2019 relative to the total employer contributions received from all of PERA’s participating employers. At
June 30, 2019, the City’s proportionate share was 0.0267 percent which was an increase of 0.0011 from its proportion
measured as of June 30, 2018.

Police and Fire Fund Pension Costs
At December 31, 2019, the City reported a liability of $2,402,804 for its proportionate share of the Police and Fire Fund’s
net pension liability. The net pension liability was measured as of June 30, 2019, and the total pension liability used to
calculate the net pension liability was determined by an actuarial valuation as of that date. The City’s proportionate share
of the net pension liability was based on the City’s contributions received by PERA during the measurement period for
employer payroll paid dates from July 1, 2018 through June 30, 2019 relative to the total employer contributions received
from all of PERA’s participating employers. At June 30, 2019, the City’s proportionate share was 0.2257 percent which
was an increase of 0.0087 from its proportionate share measured as of June 30, 2018.
For the year ended December 31, 2019, the City recognized pension expense of $961,451 for its proportionate share of
PEPFF’s pension expense. The City also recognized $30,470 for the year ended December 31, 2019 as revenue and an
offsetting reduction of net pension liability for its proportionate share of the State of Minnesota’s on-behalf contributions to
the Police and Fire Fund. Legislation passed in 2013 required the State of Minnesota to begin contributing $9 million to
the Police and Fire Fund each year until the plan is 90 percent funded or until the State Patrol Plan (administered by the
Minnesota State Retirement System) is 90 percent funded, whichever occurs later. In addition, the state will pay $4.5
million on October 1, 2018 and October 1, 2019 in direct state aid. Thereafter, by October 1 of each year, the state will
pay $9 million until full funding is reached or July 1, 2048, whichever is earlier.

E. Actuarial Assumptions
The total pension liability in the June 30, 2019 actuarial valuation was determined using the following actuarial
assumptions:
Inflation 2.50% per year
Active Member Payroll Growth 3.25% per year
Investment Rate of Return 7.50%
Salary increases were based on a service-related table. Mortality rates for active members, retirees, survivors and
disabilitants were based on RP-2014 tables for males or females, as appropriate, with slight adjustments to fit PERA’s
experience. Cost of living benefit increases after retirement for retirees are assumed to be 1.25 percent per year for
General Employees Plan and 1.0 percent per year for Police and Fire Plan.
Actuarial assumptions used in the June 30, 2019 valuation were based on the results of actuarial experience studies. The
most recent four-year experience study in the General Employees Plan was completed in 2019. The most recent four-
year experience study for the Police and Fire Plan was completed in 2016. Economic assumptions were updated in 2018
based on a review of inflation and investment return assumptions.

The State Board of Investment, which manages the investments of PERA, prepares an analysis of the reasonableness on
a regular basis of the long-term expected rate of return using a building-block method in which best-estimate ranges of
expected future rates of return are developed for each major asset class. These ranges are combined to produce an
expected long-term rate of return by weighting the expected future rates of return by the target asset allocation
percentages. The target allocation and best estimates of geometric real rates of return for each major asset class are
summarized in the following table:

F. Discount Rate
The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability in 2019 was 7.50 percent. The projection of cash flows used
to determine the discount rate assumed that contributions from plan members and employers will be made at rates set in
Minnesota statutes. Based on these assumptions, the fiduciary net position of the General Employees Fund and the
Police and Fire Fund were projected to be available to make all projected future benefit payments of current plan
members. Therefore, the long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments was applied to all periods of
projected benefit payments to determine the total pension liability.

A. Plan Description
The City provides a single-employer defined benefit health care plan to eligible retirees and their spouses. The plan offers
medical coverage and is administered by Health Partners, Inc.. It is the City’s policy for Council to periodically review its
medical coverage, and to obtain requests for proposals in order to provide the most favorable benefits and premiums for
City employees and retirees. The City does not issue a publicly available report.
Inactive Plan Members or Beneficiaries Currently Receiving Benefit Payments 6
Active Plan Members 53
Total Plan Members 59
B. Funding Policy
Retirees receiving benefits contribute 100 percent of their premium costs. Retirees and their spouses contribute to the
health care plan at the same rate as City employees. This results in the retirees receiving an implicit rate subsidy.
Contribution requirements are established by the City, based on the contract terms with HealthPartners, Inc. The required
contributions are based on projected pay-as-you-go financing requirements. For the year ended December 31, 2019, the
City’s average contribution rate was .5 percent of covered-employee payroll. For fiscal year 2019, the City contributed
$36,813 to the plan. As of January 1, 2019, there were eight retirees receiving health benefits from the City’s health plan.

C. Actuarial Methods and Assumptions
The City’s total OPEB liability of $873,437 was measured as of January 1, 2019, and the total OPEB liability used to
calculate the total OPEB liability was determined by an actuarial valuation as of January 1, 2018. Roll forward procedures
were used to roll forward the total OPEB liability to the measurement date.
The total OPEB liability in the January 1, 2019 actuarial valuation was determined using the following actuarial
assumptions, applied to all periods included in the measurement, unless otherwise specified:
Discount Rate 4.09%
Expected Long-Term Investment Return N/A
20-Year Municipal Bond Yield 3.30%
Inflation Rate 2.50%
Salary Increases 3.50%
Medical Trend Rate 8.0% in 2019 grading to 5% over 10 years
The discount rate used to measure the total OPEB liability was 4.09 percent as of January 1, 2019. Mortality rates were
based on the RP-2014 White Collar Mortality Tables (de-trended to 2006) and then projected beyond the valuation date
using scale MP-2017.
The actuarial assumptions used in the January 1, 2018 valuation were based on input from a variety of published sources
of historical and projected future financial data. Each assumption was reviewed for reasonableness with the source
information as well as for consistency with the other economic assumptions.

Note : Other Information
A. Risk Management
The City is exposed to various risks of loss related to torts; theft of, damage to and destruction of assets; errors and
omissions; injuries to employees; and natural disasters.
Workers compensation coverage is provided through a pooled self-insurance program through the League of Minnesota
Cities Insurance Trust (LMCIT). The City pays an annual premium to the LMCIT. The City is subject to supplemental
assessments if deemed necessary by the LMCIT. The LMCIT reinsures through Workers Compensation Reinsurance
Association (WCRA) as required by law. For workers compensation, the City is not subject to a deductible.
Property and casualty insurance is provided through a pooled self-insurance program through the LMCIT. The City pays
an annual premium to the LMCIT. The City is subject to supplemental assessments if deemed necessary by the LMCIT.
The LMCIT reinsures through commercial companies for claims in excess of various amounts. The City retains risk for the
deductible portion of the insurance policies and for any exclusions from the insurance policies. These amounts are
considered immaterial to the financial statements.
The City continues to carry commercial insurance for all other risks of loss, including disability and employee health
insurance.
There were no significant reductions in insurance from the previous year or settlements in excess of insurance coverage
for any of the past three fiscal years.
The risk management activities of the City are accounted for by the Risk Management fund, an internal service fund,
which charges its costs to user departments. The fund is designed to build up a reserve which will provide the City the
opportunity to assume a greater share of its insurance risks and thereby reducing the cost to purchase insurance.

B. Contingencies
Tax Increment Financing Districts
The City’s tax increment districts are subject to review by the State of Minnesota Office of the State Auditor (OSA). Any
disallowed claims or misuse of tax increments could become a liability of the applicable fund. Management has indicated
that they are not aware of any instances of noncompliance which would have a material effect on the financial statements.
The City has entered into “pay as you go” Tax Increment Financing notes within its TIF districts. These notes are payable
only to the extent of the increment received. As a result, they are a commitment within the district but they have not met
the criteria to be reported as a liability on the statement of net position.
C. Flexible Benefit Plan
The City offers a flexible benefit plan (the Plan). The Plan is a “cafeteria plan” under §125 of the Internal Revenue Code
(IRC). All employees who meet the eligibility requirements may participate in the Plan. To be eligible, an employee must
be at least 20 years of age and be regularly scheduled to work more than 20 hours per week.
Eligible employees can elect to participate by contributing pre-tax dollars withheld from payroll checks to the Plan for
healthcare and dependent care benefits. Payments are made from the Plan to participating employees upon submitting a
request for reimbursement of eligible expenses actually incurred by the participant.
All assets of the Plan are held and administered by an independent contract administrator for child care and medical
expense reimbursements, and by the City for health insurance premiums. All activity of the Plan is included in the financial
statements as part of the General Fund and enterprise funds as employee benefits.
All property of the Plan and income attributable to that property is solely the property of the City, subject to the claims of
the City’s general creditors. Participants’ rights under the Plan are equal to those of general creditors of the City in an
amount equal to the eligible healthcare and dependent care expenses incurred by the participants. The City believes it is
unlikely that it will use the assets to satisfy the claims of general creditors in the future.
D. Conditional State Grant
In 2005, as a part of the City’s acquisition of Big Island Park, the City was awarded a grant from the state of Minnesota in
the amount of $2,000,000. The grant is repayable to the state if the property is not maintained for low-impact recreation
and conservation use.
E. Police Services Contracts
As of December 31, 2019, the City of Orono had several contracts to provide police services to neighboring cities. The
most significant of those was a contract with the city of Mound, which the City entered into as of January 1, 2013 and
which extends 10 years to December 31, 2022. The contract also included annual payments from the city of Mound
starting at $1,545,000 in 2013 and increasing between 1%-5% each year through the end of the contract.
The City also has a contract with the cities of Minnetonka Beach and Spring Park to furnish law enforcement services to
each respective city. The original contract term ended December 31, 2012 and includes the option to verbally extend it
each year for an additional one-year period. The contract has been extended each year through 2020.

2017 - The Combined Service Annuity (CSA) loads were changed from 0.8 percent for active members and 60 percent for
vested and non-vested deferred members. The revised CSA loads are now 0.0 percent for active member liability, 15.0
percent for vested deferred member liability and 3.0 percent for non-vested deferred member liability. The assumed post-
retirement benefit increase rate was changed from 1.0 percent per year for all years to 1.0 percent per year through 2044

7.9 percent to 7.5 percent. The single discount rate was changed from 7.9 percent to 7.5 percent. Other assumptions
were changed pursuant to the experience study dated June 30, 2015. The assumed future salary increases, payroll
growth and inflation were decreased by 0.25 percent to 3.25 percent for payroll growth and 2.50 percent for inflation.
2015 - The assumed post-retirement benefit increase rate was changed from 1.0 percent per year through 2030 and 2.5

per year. The state’s special funding contribution was changed prospectively, requiring $16.0 million due per year through
2031.
2018 - The augmentation adjustment in early retirement factors is eliminated over a five-year period starting July 1, 2019,
resulting in actuarial equivalence after June 30, 2024. Interest credited on member contributions decreased from 4.00

Living Adjustment, not less than 1.00 percent and not more than 1.50 percent, beginning January 1, 2019. For retirements
on or after January 1, 2024, the first benefit increase is delayed until the retiree reaches normal retirement age; does not
apply to Rule of 90 retirees, disability benefit recipients, or survivors. Actuarial equivalent factors were updated to reflect
revised mortality and interest assumptions.

Total Overlapping Debt
Assessed value data used to estimate applicable percentages provided by the County Board of Equalization and
Assessment. Debt outstanding data provided by the county.
Overlapping governments are those that coincide, at least in part, with the geographic boundaries of the City. This
schedule estimates the portion of the outstanding debt of those overlapping governments that is borne by the residents
and businesses of the City. This process recognizes that, when considering the government’s ability to issue and repay
long-term debt, the entire debt burden borne by the residents and businesses should be taken into account. However,
this does not imply that every taxpayer is a resident and, therefore, responsible for repaying the debt of each overlapping
government.
The percentage of overlapping debt applicable is estimated using taxable assessed property values. Applicable
Overlapping governments are those that coincide, at least in part, with the geographic boundaries of the City. This
schedule estimates the portion of the outstanding debt of those overlapping governments that is borne by the residents
and businesses of the City. Excludes revenue and special assessment bonds.

Note: Under state law, the City's outstanding general obligation debt should not exceed 3 percent of the market value of
taxable property. Net debt is payable solely from ad valorem taxes and, therefore, excludes debt financed partially or
entirely by special assessments, enterprise fund revenues, or tax increments. Prior to 2008, state law provided that
general obligation debt should not exceed 2 percent. By law, the general obligation debt subject to the limitation may be
offset by amounts set aside for the extinguishment of those obligations.

Management, Honorable Mayor and City Council
City of Orono, Minnesota
We have audited the financial statements of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, each major fund and
the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of Orono, Minnesota, (the City) for the year ended
December 31, 2019. Professional standards require that we provide you with information about our responsibilities under
generally accepted auditing standards, as well as certain information related to the planned scope and timing of our audit.
We have communicated such information in our letter to you dated December 10, 2019. Professional standards also
require that we communicate to you the following information related to our audit.
Our Responsibility Under Auditing Standards Generally Accepted in the United States of America
As stated in our engagement letter, our responsibility, as described by professional standards, is to express opinions
about whether the financial statements prepared by management with your oversight are fairly presented, in all material
respects, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Our audit of the
financial statements does not relieve you or management of your responsibilities.
Our responsibility is to plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable, but not absolute, assurance that the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. As part of our audit, we considered the internal control over financial
reporting (internal control) of the City. Such considerations were solely for the purpose of determining our audit
procedures and not to provide any assurance concerning such internal control. We are responsible for communicating
significant matters related to the audit that are, in our professional judgment, relevant to your responsibilities in overseeing
the financial reporting process. However, we are not required to design procedures specifically to identify such matters.
Significant Audit Findings
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered the School's internal control over financial
reporting (internal control) as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances for the
purpose of expressing our opinions on the financial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the
effectiveness of the School’s internal control. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the
School’s internal control.
A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or employees,
in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or detect and correct, misstatements on a timely
basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control, such that there is a
reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the entity’s financial statements will not be prevented, or detected
and corrected on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control
that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance.
Our consideration of internal control was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph of this section and was
not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be material weaknesses or significant deficiencies.
Given these limitations, during our audit we did not identify any deficiencies in internal control that we consider to be
material weaknesses. However, material weaknesses may exist that have not been identified.

Compliance and Other Matters
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the City's financial statements are free from material
misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant
agreements, noncompliance with which could have a direct and material effect on the determination of financial statement
amounts. However, providing an opinion on compliance with those provisions was not an objective of our audit, and
accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. The results of our tests disclosed no instances of noncompliance or other
matters that are required to be reported under Government Auditing Standards or Minnesota statutes.
Qualitative Aspects of Accounting Practices
Management is responsible for the selection and use of appropriate accounting policies. The significant accounting
policies used by the City are described in Note 1 to the financial statements. The City did not change accounting policies
during the year. We noted no transactions entered into by the City during the year for which there is a lack of authoritative
guidance or consensus. All significant transactions have been recognized in the financial statements in the proper period.
Accounting estimates are an integral part of the financial statements prepared by management and are based on
management’s knowledge and experience about past and current events and assumptions about future events. Certain
accounting estimates are particularly sensitive because of their significance to the financial statements and because of the
possibility that future events affecting them may differ significantly from those expected. The most sensitive estimates
affecting the financial statements include depreciation on capital assets, allocation of payroll and compensated absences,
the liability for other postemployment benefits, value of land held for resale, and the assets and liabilities for the City’s
pensions.
Management’s estimate of depreciation is based on estimated useful lives of the assets. Depreciation is
calculated using the straight-line method.
Allocations of gross wages and payroll benefits are approved by City Council within the City’s budget and are
derived from each employee’s estimated time to be spent servicing the respective functions of the City. These
allocations are also used in allocating accrued compensated absences payable.
Management’s estimate of its OPEB liability is based on several factors including, but not limited to, anticipated
retirement age for active employees, life expectancy, turnover, and healthcare cost trend rate.
Management’s estimate of its pension liabilities and assets are based on several factors including, but not limited
to, anticipated investment return rate, retirement age for active employees, life expectancy, salary increases and
form of annuity payment upon retirement.
o The allocation of the pension liability related to Minnesota Public Employee Retirement Association
(PERA) is based on the City’s proportionate share of employer contributions to the PERA cost-sharing
multiple employer Coordinated and Police and Fire pension plans.
We evaluated the key factors and assumptions used to develop these accounting estimates in determining that it is
reasonable in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole. The disclosures in the financial statements are neutral,
consistent, and clear. Certain financial statement disclosures are particularly sensitive because of their significance to
financial statement users.
Difficulties Encountered in Performing the Audit
We encountered no significant difficulties in dealing with management in performing and completing our audit.
Corrected and Uncorrected Misstatements
Professional standards require us to accumulate all known and likely misstatements identified during the audit, other than
those that are trivial, and communicate them to the appropriate level of management. No misstatements were noted.

Disagreements with Management
For purposes of this letter, professional standards define a disagreement with management as a financial accounting,
reporting, or auditing matter, whether or not resolved to our satisfaction, that could be significant to the financial
statements or the auditor’s report. We are pleased to report that no such disagreements arose during the course of our
audit.
Management Representations
We have requested certain representations from management that are included in the management representation letter
dated NEED DATE.
Management Consultations with Other Independent Accountants
In some cases, management may decide to consult with other accountants about auditing and accounting matters, similar
to obtaining a “second opinion” on certain situations. If a consultation involves application of an accounting principle to the
City’s financial statements or a determination of the type of auditor’s opinion that may be expressed on those statements,
our professional standards require the consulting accountant to check with us to determine that the consultant has all the
relevant facts. To our knowledge, there were no such consultations with other accountants.
Other Matters
We applied certain limited procedures to the required supplementary information (RSI) (Management’s Discussion and
Analysis, the Schedules of Employer’s Share of the Net Pension Liability, the Schedule of Changes in Net Pension
Liability (Asset) and Related Ratios, the Schedules of Employer’s Contributions and the Schedule of Funding Progress for
Other Post-Employment Benefits Plan), which is information that supplements the basic financial statements. Our
procedures consisted of inquiries of management regarding the methods of preparing the information and comparing the
information for consistency with management’s responses to our inquiries, the basic financial statements, and other
knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements. We did not audit the RSI and do not express an
opinion or provide any assurance on the RSI.
We were engaged to report on the supplementary information (combining and individual fund financial statements and
schedules), which accompany the financial statements but are not RSI. With respect to this supplementary information,
we made certain inquiries of management and evaluated the form, content, and methods of preparing the information to
determine that the information complies with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, the
method of preparing it has not changed from the prior period, and the information is appropriate and complete in relation
to our audit of the financial statements. We compared and reconciled the supplementary information to the underlying
accounting records used to prepare the financial statements or to the financial statements themselves.
We were not engaged to report on the introductory or statistical sections, which accompany the financial statements but
are not RSI. We did not audit or perform other procedures on this other information and we do not express an opinion or
provide any assurance on them.
Other Audit Findings or Issues
We generally discuss a variety of matters, including the application of accounting principles and auditing standards, with
management each year prior to retention as the City’s auditors. However, these discussions occurred in the normal
course of our professional relationship and our responses were not a condition to our retention.

Future Accounting Standard Changes
The following Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statements have been issued and may have an impact
on future City financial statements: (1)
GASB Statement No. 87 -Leases
Summary
The objective of this Statement is to better meet the information needs of financial statement users by improving
accounting and financial reporting for leases by governments. This Statement increases the usefulness of governments’
financial statements by requiring recognition of certain lease assets and liabilities for leases that previously were classified
as operating leases and recognized as inflows of resources or outflows of resources based on the payment provisions of
the contract. It establishes a single model for lease accounting based on the foundational principle that leases are
financings of the right to use an underlying asset. Under this Statement, a lessee is required to recognize a lease liability
and an intangible right-to-use lease asset, and a lessor is required to recognize a lease receivable and a deferred inflow
of resources, thereby enhancing the relevance and consistency of information about governments’ leasing activities.
Effective Date and Transition
The requirements of this Statement are effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019. Earlier
application is encouraged.
Leases should be recognized and measured using the facts and circumstances that exist at the beginning of the period of
implementation (or, if applied to earlier periods, the beginning of the earliest period restated). However, lessors should not
restate the assets underlying their existing sales-type or direct financing leases. Any residual assets for those leases
become the carrying values of the underlying assets.
How the Changes in This Statement Will Improve Accounting and Financial Reporting
This Statement will increase the usefulness of governments’ financial statements by requiring reporting of certain lease
liabilities that currently are not reported. It will enhance comparability of financial statements among governments by
requiring lessees and lessors to report leases under a single model. This Statement also will enhance the decision-
usefulness of the information provided to financial statement users by requiring notes to financial statements related to the
timing, significance, and purpose of a government’s leasing arrangements.
GASB Statement No. 89 -Accounting for Interest Cost Incurred before the End of a Construction Period
Summary
The objectives of this Statement are (1) to enhance the relevance and comparability of information about capital assets
and the cost of borrowing for a reporting period and (2) to simplify accounting for interest cost incurred before the end of a
construction period.
This Statement establishes accounting requirements for interest cost incurred before the end of a construction period.
Such interest cost includes all interest that previously was accounted for in accordance with the requirements of
paragraphs 5–22 of Statement No. 62, Codification of Accounting and Financial Reporting Guidance Contained in Pre-
November 30, 1989 FASB and AICPA Pronouncements, which are superseded by this Statement. This Statement
requires that interest cost incurred before the end of a construction period be recognized as an expense in the period in
which the cost is incurred for financial statements prepared using the economic resources measurement focus. As a
result, interest cost incurred before the end of a construction period will not be included in the historical cost of a capital
asset reported in a business-type activity or enterprise fund.
This Statement also reiterates that in financial statements prepared using the current financial resources measurement
focus, interest cost incurred before the end of a construction period should be recognized as an expenditure on a basis
consistent with governmental fund accounting principles.

GASB Statement No. 91 - Conduit Debt Obligations
Summary
The primary objectives of this Statement are to provide a single method of reporting conduit debt obligations by issuers
and eliminate diversity in practice associated with (1) commitments extended by issuers, (2) arrangements associated
with conduit debt obligations, and (3) related note disclosures. This Statement achieves those objectives by clarifying the
existing definition of a conduit debt obligation; establishing that a conduit debt obligation is not a liability of the issuer;
establishing standards for accounting and financial reporting of additional commitments and voluntary commitments
extended by issuers and arrangements associated with conduit debt obligations; and improving required note disclosures.
All conduit debt obligations involve the issuer making a limited commitment. Some issuers extend additional commitments
or voluntary commitments to support debt service in the event the third party is, or will be, unable to do so.
An issuer should not recognize a conduit debt obligation as a liability. However, an issuer should recognize a liability
associated with an additional commitment or a voluntary commitment to support debt service if certain recognition criteria
are met. As long as a conduit debt obligation is outstanding, an issuer that has made an additional commitment should
evaluate at least annually whether those criteria are met. An issuer that has made only a limited commitment should
evaluate whether those criteria are met when an event occurs that causes the issuer to reevaluate its willingness or ability
to support the obligor’s debt service through a voluntary commitment.
This Statement also addresses arrangements - often characterized as leases - that are associated with conduit debt
obligations. In those arrangements, capital assets are constructed or acquired with the proceeds of a conduit debt
obligation and used by third-party obligors in the course of their activities. Payments from third-party obligors are intended
to cover and coincide with debt service payments. During those arrangements, issuers retain the titles to the capital
assets. Those titles may or may not pass to the obligors at the end of the arrangements.
This Statement requires issuers to disclose general information about their conduit debt obligations, organized by type of
commitment, including the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the issuers’ conduit debt obligations and a
description of each type of commitment. Issuers that recognize liabilities related to supporting the debt service of conduit
debt obligations also should disclose information about the amount recognized and how the liabilities changed during the
reporting period.

application is encouraged.

Future Accounting Standard Changes (Continued)
How the Changes in This Statement Will Improve Accounting and Financial Reporting
The requirements of this Statement will improve financial reporting by eliminating the existing option for issuers to report
conduit debt obligations as their own liabilities, thereby ending significant diversity in practice. The clarified definition will
resolve stakeholders’ uncertainty as to whether a given financing is, in fact, a conduit debt obligation. Requiring issuers to
recognize liabilities associated with additional commitments extended by issuers and to recognize assets and deferred
inflows of resources related to certain arrangements associated with conduit debt obligations also will eliminate diversity,
thereby improving comparability in reporting by issuers. Revised disclosure requirements will provide financial statement
users with better information regarding the commitments issuers extend and the likelihood that they will fulfill those
commitments. That information will inform users of the potential impact of such commitments on the financial resources of
issuers and help users assess issuers’ roles in conduit debt obligations.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL
REPORTING AND ON COMPLIANCE AND OTHER MATTERS BASED ON
AN AUDIT OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PERFORMED IN ACCORDANCE
WITH GOVERNMENT AUDITING STANDARDS
Honorable Mayor and City Council
City of Orono, Minnesota
We have audited, in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the
standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards issued by the Comptroller General of
the United States, the financial statements of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, each major fund
and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of Orono, Minnesota (the City), as of and for the year ended
December 31, 2019, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the City’s basic
financial statements, and have issued our report thereon dated NEED DATE.
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered the City's internal control over financial
reporting (internal control) as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances for the
purpose of expressing our opinions on the financial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the
effectiveness of the City’s internal control. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the City’s
internal control.
A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or employees,
in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or detect and correct, misstatements on a timely
basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control, such that there is a
reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the entity’s financial statements will not be prevented, or detected
and corrected on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control
that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance.
Our consideration of internal control was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph of this section and was
not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be material weaknesses or significant deficiencies.
Given these limitations, during our audit we did not identify any deficiencies in internal control that we consider to be
material weaknesses. However, material weaknesses may exist that have not been identified.
Compliance and Other Matters
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the City's financial statements are free from material
misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant
agreements, noncompliance with which could have a direct and material effect on the determination of financial statement
amounts. However, providing an opinion on compliance with those provisions was not an objective of our audit, and
accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. The results of our tests disclosed no instances of noncompliance or other
matters that are required to be reported under Government Auditing Standards.

1. Purpose. The purpose of this action item is for Council approve change order expenses related to the
2nd Toilet for the Big Island ADA Trail Project.
2. Background. At the November 9th Council meeting, the council directed staff to add a 2nd vault toilet
to the Big Island Project. During those discussions it was assumed that the cost of the 2nd toilet would be
the same as or close to the first, $93,000. After the meeting staff requested the contractor to provide a
change order quote for the addition of the 2nd Toilet. The quote is for $120,800 (Exhibit A). As this
represents a 30% price difference, and at $27,800 is beyond staff approval levels, staff is requesting
approval prior to moving forward with the change order. We have been able to identify a location on the
overlook that would not require additional archeology work. The shelter location has been adjusted from
its previously proposed location to another that avoids archeological impacts. The revised plan sheet
showing the proposed toilet location and the adjusted shelter location is shown in Exhibit B.
3. Project Scope. The original project scope consisted of ADA accessible pathway, picnic shelter,
interpretive signage and an ADA compliant restroom facility.

Purpose. This item has two purposes;
a. Waive Planning Commission review of a Conditional Use Permit
b. After holding the public hearing, consider the Conditional Use Permit allowing a
permanent dock in the floodplain.
MN§15.99 Application Deadline. The application was received on November 9, 2020 and considered
to be complete on November 13, 2020. The 60-Day review period will expire on January 12, 2021.
Background. A Conditional Use Permit for a permanent dock on this property was approved in
December 9, 2019 (LA18-000094). The applicant proposes to change the configuration of the dock.
Typically, Conditional Use Permits are reviewed by the Planning Commission. The City Code permits
the Council to waive, by unanimous action, reference to the Planning Commission (Section 78-912). The
applicant requests this waiver to permit construction in January, when the ice is thickest. Without the
waiver, construction couldn’t start until mid-February. A public hearing has been noticed allowing for
possible Council action.
Applicable Regulation: Conditional Use Permit (Section 78-916)
The Planning Commission may recommend and the Council may grant a Conditional Use Permit
(CUP) as the use permit was applied for or in modified form. On the basis of the application and the
evidence submitted, the city must find that the proposed use at the proposed location is or will be:
1) Consistent with the community management plan; The property is guided and will
continue to be used for residential purposes.
2) Compliant with the zoning code, including any conditions imposed on specific uses as
required by article V, division 3 of the City Code; Accessory docks are permitted by the
zoning code.
3) Adequately served by police, fire, roads, and stormwater management; The proposed dock is
not expected to increase needs for these services.
4) Provided with an adequate water supply and sewage disposal system; The proposed dock
will not increase need for water or sanitary sewer services.
5) Not expected to generate excessive demand for public services at public cost; The proposed
dock will not increase demand of these services.
6) Compatible with the surrounding area as the area is used both presently and as it is planned to
be used in the future; A seasonal dock has been placed in the general area in past years.
7) Consistent with the character of the surrounding area, unless a change of character is called for
in the community management plan; The permanent dock is not expected to impact the
neighborhood character.
8) Compatible with the character of buildings and site improvements in the surrounding area,
unless a change of character is called for in the community management plan; The
permanent dock is not expected to impact the character of the improvements in the
surrounding area.

expected to impact the use and enjoyment of property in the area, provided the dock does
not impact an established channel into the lake.
10) Provided with screening and buffering adequate to mitigate undesirable views and activities
likely to disturb surrounding uses; No screening is proposed or recommended.
11) Not create a nuisance which generates smoke, noise, glare, vibration, odors, fumes, dust,
electrical interference, general unsightliness, or other means; No testimony has been offered
that suggests the dock will establish a nuisance.
12) Not cause excessive non-residential traffic on residential streets, parking needs that cause a
demonstrable inconvenience to adjoining properties, traffic congestion, or unsafe access; The
permanent nature of the dock will not increase traffic.
13) Designed to take into account the natural, scenic, and historic features of the area and to
minimize environmental impact; The dock built for the floodplain will not impact the
natural features of the lake.
14) All exterior lighting shall be so directed so as not to cast glare toward or onto the public right-
of-way or neighboring residential uses or districts; no lighting is proposed and
15) Not detrimental to the public health, public safety, or general welfare. The dock is not
expected to introduce hazards, though adding reflectors at intervals along the dock will
help winter users of the lake.
A CUP may be granted subject to such conditions as the Council may prescribe. Additionally, a CUP
shall remain in effect as long as the conditions imposed by the City Council are observed, but nothing
in this section shall prevent the city from enacting or amending official controls to change the status of
conditional uses.
Septic System Status
Not applicable. The subject property is served by municipal sewer.
Conditional Use Permit Analysis
The dock is proposed on the west side of Lot 1, Block 1. The dock as proposed is not intended for human
habitation, and will have a low flood damage potential. The dock will not impede flood waters. Electrical
features, if added, will need to be elevated above regulatory flood elevation. These meet the floodplain
standards.
There are two easements in the general area that may be impacted by the proposed dock.
Shoreline stabilization Easement (Document T5036119) was established in 2012 to stabilize the shoreline.
The easement language (Exhibit D) includes the following:
“All planted and seeded areas will be maintained in perpetuity free from mowing or other vegetative
disturbance, except as specified herein, fertilizer application, yard or other waste disposal, and the
placement of structures or any alterations that impede the function of the shoreline in protecting water
quality, shading the riparian edge, moderating flow into any adjacent wetland or waterbody, or provided
wildlife habitat.”
The dock is not expected to impede the water quality protection, riparian edge water shading, or moderating
water flow functions. However, site improvements, including but not limited to tree and vegetative
removal, storage features, and seating areas can impede these functions and should not be incorporated in
the easement area. Staff concurs with the watershed district’s recommendation that a path no wider than 4
feet be established for access to the dock. The Council could require the corresponding dock sections be
no wider than 4 feet.
Permanent Drainage and Utility Easement (Document T05539808)
AGENDA ITEM
Prepared By: J. Barnhart Reviewed By: DJR Approved By: DJR
The proposed improvement encroaches very minimally into the easement area, and is setback from
the sanitary sewer. The improvement is not expected to impact the improvement or the easement.
Planning Commission Vote and Comment. The Planning Commission did not review the proposed
layout. Their comments from the original proposal could be useful: On November 18, 2019, voted 7-0 to
approve the application, subject to a number of conditions suggested by staff at the time, which included
reflectors be added (every 25 feet along the edges of the dock), a path no wider than 4 feet be maintained
for access to the dock, and all requirements of the DNR and Watershed District shall be followed.
Commissioners primarily questioned the impact of the dock on adjacent properties and their use of the
lake. Commissions also discussed the impact of the dock on the existing easements in the area. The City

review, and Council adopt the resolution as drafted, with the following conditions:
1. The path through the Shoreland restoration easement be no wider than 4 feet wide.
2. All requirements of the DNR, Lake Minnetonka Conservation District, and the Watershed District
shall be followed

Jeremy.
I just filled out the CUP on the city of Orono website. I uploaded the attached two documents (Site Plan and
Construction details). Tim from Dock and lift spoke with the LMCD and we are set there. I am just waiting for
a letter from Vikki at the LMCD.
Please let me know if you need any additional information.
I guess I may need a narrative. The reason for the change in dock design was that the existing one was put in
prior to any development. They were guessing at the size of boat and what the water depth would allow. The
new design is less intrusive to the waterway and safer to navigate with a boat.
Please let me know if you need any additional information. Thanks.

Rusty,
Attached are the documents that were provided previously, and my staff report. For this application, I’ll need
the following:
LA20-72 Exhibit C
2
Site plan (showing where the dock will be installed. This should also include the applicable easements that are
in the area. See the ExB document for reference.
Construction plans: how will the dock be built
Letter from the LMCD saying they approve the dock location and configuration. Also, during the initial
discussion, the question about reflectors was raised. Verify that the LMCD either requires those, or doesn’t.
Narrative. Why the change from the previous approved version.
That should be enough. If I have any questions, I ask them when they come up.

Meredith Kuhlman, 1760 Shoreline Drive, lives west of the proposed development. She noted her father
purchased the estate years ago, and it was made into three lots and the Kuhlmans decided to move to
Orono because of the great schools and sprawling location. Ms. Kuhlman and her husband watched the
last Council meeting and noted Mr. Whitten said he had talked to the neighbors about the development
and that many are on board. She said they had not been approached or talked about the development at
all and that the original average lakeshore setback (ALS) proposed affected the Kuhlman’s sightline to the
lake. Ms. Kuhlman said they object to 5-7 houses being built, even though they will be beautiful, because
if they had wanted to invest in a house in a neighborhood, they would have moved to Edina. She noted
they tried to be very respectful of neighbors when they built their home and set it back into a hill. The
fact that this development will be so densely populated is concerning and increasing traffic on Shoreline
Drive adds to that. Ms. Kuhlman understands development of some sort will potentially be at the site, but
noted the density of the current proposal as well as the fact that the communication hasn’t been forthright
and neighborly.
Carolyn Nelson, 1780 Shoreline Drive, lives next to the Kuhlmans; she noted three proposed houses are
so close to the wetlands and she thinks it would be unfortunate if they were built there as there is not
much of a setback. Ms. Nelson also noted they have trouble on the driveway and the developer better
make sure the roads are wide enough to accommodate two delivery trucks passing one another. She
believes they are crowding more houses into the space than they ought to.
Bob Nelson, 1780 Shoreline Drive, said he doesn’t see why a variance should be granted as the
developers know what the rules are and there doesn’t seem to be a reason for the Council to grant a
variance.
Barbara Burwell, 1100 Millston Road, is the property owner of 1125 and 1075 Shoreline Drive. She
stated she appreciates the Councilmembers service to the community. Today she feels sad as they have
already talked about the density and proposal but there have been some changes that have upset her. She
is not for this subdivision with 7 lots and she understands there is a new proposal which she knows
nothing about. She was offered the opportunity to walk the property with the staking of three houses and
said it was very helpful but she did not see anything regarding the road, or Lots 4-7. On October 16, 2020
she was notified that the stakes were in place for the road and lots and went to the property on October 21,

2020 and met with surveyor Mark Gronburg, realtor Mike Stedman, and developer Tim Whitten. They
walked the property and at that point nothing was said regarding changes to the proposal. She noted they
now have two proposals, one of which is completely different, with only one business day notice. She
noted she objects to the first proposal with 7 lots and she is also not in favor of 6 lots. She believes it is in
Minnesota State Statute that there must be 10 days’ notice to bring a proposal. She has retained legal
counsel and will ask Attorney Aaron Dean to share what they have been working on. The second
proposal was 26 pages and it was not an incidental decision to put it forward the previous Friday night.
She feels this is a bait-and-switch as it is a high-density 7 lot development reminding her of a square
trying to be put into a circle and she does not understand it as the road goes right into her property and is a
very big concern. Ms. Burwell stated this is affecting her property in a big way; at a previous meeting,
she noted Mr. Whitten stated the neighbors ‘love the proposal and they have had lots of meetings.’ Ms.
Burwell said there has been one meeting on March 12, 2020. She was never asked for her consent and
never stated she is for this and has never wanted a development there for reasons such as density, safety,
the road, the forest, the beauty, and preservation. Ms. Burwell noted this development is a big step for
Orono and she knows the City does not take it lightly. She asked that the City Council deny the
application for the subdivision, start over and actually speak with the neighbors to disclose their true
intentions.
Aaron Dean from Moss and Barnett Law Firm stated he spoke with City Attorney Mattick earlier today
and was not surprised by what the Applicant has done; the Applicant owns that they are putting
themselves in harm’s way by not providing notice to the neighbors. Just minutes before the meeting, the
Applicant asked for a do-over and to table all discussion on the matter; they don’t want a vote because
they know they are in trouble. Wherever one lives, they deserve to have peace and the Jacobs Family
Trust and their consultants have turned that truth upside down. He said they want the Burwells,
Kuhlmans, Nelsons and others to live with uncertainty. Mr. Dean said the time is now to vote on the 7
Lot subdivision and the 6 Lot subdivision and provide finality on those two subdivisions. He noted the
neighbors hate it and Ms. Burwell should not have to hire an attorney. He gave a power-point
presentation outlining the objections along with video clips of the August 17, 2020 and September 14,
2020 meetings. After audio difficulties, Mr. Dean asked the Council to go back after the presentation to
consider comments by the Applicants and in a closed session go back and listen to those very audio clips
so they have the benefit of a fresh recollection. Regarding one video clip, Mr. Dean noted Mr. Whitten
talking about how the neighbors love the proposal; yet the Applicant only scheduled one meeting in mid-
March with a little over one-week notice that no one was able to attend and they called it good because no
one attended and voiced any objection. He said it is a shameful act by the Applicant to stand before the
Council and say the neighbors are fine with it, when tonight three neighbors spoke and said they never
agreed to it. He hopes this colors the view of everything the Applicant says going forward. Mr. Dean
noted the Burwell property on screen and said somehow, they have lost sight that the Burwell residence is
located on that singular lot. Staff and the developer have said they can draw a new ALS line down to
1125 Millston Road where the caretakers’ house is…but that is not the purpose of the ALS line; rather the
ALS line is to protect the actual resident and there has been no consideration to Mrs. Burwell about her
actual home. Mr. Dean said the biggest problem with the application is that they are trying to have too
much density and they would have been far better off with 2-4 lots depending on configuration.
However, this is not the neighbor’s problem, nor is it the Council’s job to come up with a plan that meets
City ordinance or state law; it is the Applicants job. Mr. Dean noted Mr. Barnhart said previously that the
ALS line was arbitrarily created or “manufactured” in order to have some buildable areas on Lots 1, 2 and
3. The standard for the ALS ordinance is not to arbitrarily set or manufacture a line. This 7 Lot
development would require this City Council to ignore the problems with Lots 1, 2, 3 and 6 and possibly
Lot 5. Mr. Dean said they would have to overlook 4 lots that would require variances and that is not fair.

He asked the Council to keep in mind the proposed ALS (Line B) on the north side is also a manufactured
line...now there are two manufactured ALS lines to try and fit a 7 Lot development on a parcel that is not
big enough. Mr. Dean noted the Applicant met with Ms. Burwell one day after they submitted the new
proposal and did not disclose their intentions; now they want the Council to allow them to sanitize their
actions, pull it back and have no vote. He showed an aerial photo on screen and said the top ALS line
stops on the Burwell property at an unoccupied accessory garage building. He gave the City Attorney the
ordinances regarding principal versus accessory structure and also spoke about the road plans. He said
there is a requirement for 10-days’ notice under MN Statute 462.358 subdivision 3B; it was not published
in the newspaper or provided to any neighbors. Mr. Dean showed an aerial on screen with a blue line
which noted the definition of the ALS which would extend to Ms. Burwell’s home. He hopes the Council
takes time to listen to the developer and the video clips and come back tonight with a vote.
Pat Steinhoff, a lawyer from the law firm Malkerson, Gunn, Martin, representing the Applicant, noted he
thought they would be talking about the request to table and did not realize they would discuss the
application itself. He said if the Council is not going to table, he asks that they allow Mr. Whitten and the
Applicant to make their presentation on the application.
Mayor Walsh said because the Applicant has requested to table; from the Council’s perspective they will
table it. However, because others were present at the meeting, he wanted to give them the opportunity to
speak. He noted City Attorney Mattick would also address some of the legal arguments.
Mr. Steinhoff said the reason the Applicant decided to table is because the application has been in front of
the City since March with multiple Planning Commission and City Council meetings. One hour before
arriving tonight, they received a 10-page letter from Mr. Dean and it is impossible to thoughtfully respond
to everything in the letter, which it what they want to do. Therefore, they immediately contacted City
Staff to ask that the application be tabled so they can respond in a thoughtful manner to all the things Ms.
Burwell and Mr. Dean have said. He said the reason there are two alternative plans is in previous
meetings there were many objections to the ALS, so the intent of the alternative concept plan was to
respond to those objections by presenting a plan that put all the lots behind the ALS.
Attorney Mattick said he also received Mr. Dean’s letter earlier that afternoon and has a chance to read it,
but would like the opportunity to provide the Council with his thoughts on the arguments that Mr. Dean
raises. In fairness, before the Council votes on the merits of the application, Attorney Mattick would like
to address those comments. Mattick understands that the Applicant would also like the opportunity to
submit their thoughts on the items raised. If Mr. Steinhoff can give a date that his memo will be prepared,
the City can then take all of the information, respond to it and allow the Council to make a meaningful
decision. Mr. Mattick also noted there was discussion about lack of notice and neighbors having to scour
the internet for information and he said that is an incredibly fair request and it might make sense to table
the discussion to a date-certain so people know when that meeting would happen. The Applicant has
provided the City a 60-day extension.
Walsh motioned, Crosby seconded, to table LA19-000048 1700 Shoreline Drive until December 7,
2020. VOTE: Ayes 4, Nays 0.
MAYOR/COUNCIL REPORT
Johnson had nothing to report.
AGENDA ITEM
Prepared By: J. Barnhart Reviewed By: DJR Approved By: DJR
1. Purpose. To consider a resolution approving a variance to allow 83% of the roof to be covered
with solar panels where 70% is permitted.
2. MN§15.99 Application Deadline. The application was received on October 20, 2020 and
considered to be complete on October 21st. The 60-Day review period will expire on December
20, 2020.
3. Background. The applicants propose to install a solar array on the roof of their accessory
building. The solar array, intended to produce 100% of the property’s electricity needs over the
course of a year, covers 83% of the roof surface, the maximum coverage is 70%.
The analysis of the variance is included in the planning commission staff report. The roof
configuration of the principal structure has many gables, peaks and valleys which would not
support a system without variances. There are no other structures on the property, and city
ordinances prohibit ground mounted systems. Staff finds that the criteria for granting a variance
are satisfied and are supported by the comprehensive plan. Further, the additional surface area
will have a negligible impact on any neighboring property.
This is the third variance related to solar energy systems reviewed by the City. The Council
granted the first, for a ground mounted system (17-3943) in May, 2017. The Council denied a
second ground mounted system (LA18-000103) in February, 2019.
4. Planning Commission Vote and Comment. On November 16th, the Planning Commission held
a public hearing. Following the public hearing, the Planning Commission voted 5 to 2 on a
motion to approve the variance. (Kirchner and Ressler voted no). Those in opposition were
concerned about the purpose of the 70% limitation, and thought perhaps an ordinance amendment
was appropriate (Ressler).
The solar energy regulations were introduced in December 2013 as part of Ord. 119 3rd series.
That ordinance included the 70% maximum provision. A number of ordinances from other cities
were used to prepare the draft ordinance, but only two were found referencing a limit for the roof
mounted systems; Medina’s 70% maximum, and a model ordinance with an 80% maximum. The
Planning Commission and Council discussion on the topic occurred over several months in 2013.
The staff memo summarizing that action and final direction to staff occurred as part of the
November 25th staff report/ meeting. The staff report and minutes is attached as Exhibit J. The
entire packet is available upon request. Staff can find no record that the Planning Commission or
the City Council discussed the 70% limit at any length. Staff also consulted with previous staff,
who could not recall any substantive discussion on the topic. It appears the 70% limit is aesthetic
based.
5. Public Comment. One letter in support of the application was received, and is attached as
Exhibit I. No letters of opposition have been received.
6. Staff Recommendation. Staff recommends the Council adopt the resolution approving the

A RESOLUTION
APPROVING A VARIANCE FROM
MUNICIPAL ZONING CODE
SECTION 78-1379
FILE NO. LA20-000069
WHEREAS, on October 20, 2020, All Energy Solar, o/b/o Aron and Kali Johnson
(“Applicants”), applied for a variance from the City Code for the property addressed 4760 Bayside
Road and legally described as:
Lot 1, Block 1, Bayside Hills, Hennepin County, Minnesota (hereinafter the
“Property”);
WHEREAS, the Applicants have made application to the City of Orono for a
variance to Orono Municipal Zoning Code Section 78-1379 to allow 83 percent coverage of a roof
with solar panels, where 70% is permitted; and
WHEREAS, on November 16, 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 November 16, 2020, the Planning Commission recommended
approval of the variance; and
WHEREAS, on December 7, 2020, the City Council reviewed the 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 variance as 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 #LA20-000069. 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 RR-1A Zoning District.

RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL
NO. ________________________

3. The Property contains 6.87 acres in area and has a defined lot width of 182 feet.
4. The Property is exempt from the Stormwater Quality Overlay District requirements.
5. Applicant has applied for the following variance:
a. Variance from the roof coverage limits of 70%
6. 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 intent of the 70% rule is to avoid the visual impact of
solar panels covering a roof. The roof structure is not visible form the street, either from
Bayside (over 600 feet away), or McCulley Road (on the other side of a large berm).
2. “Variances shall only be permitted . . . when the variances are consistent with the
comprehensive plan.” The Comprehensive Plan includes “To preserve open space, light, air,
and solar access for all citizens while maintaining night sky” as a general goal (CMP Part 2
Community Plan Foundation, page 13). Additionally, Cities are required to include an
element of protection and access to for solar energy systems (CMP Part 3A Solar Access
Protection, page 14.)
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 placement of the extra solar panels is a reasonable use.
b. The plight of the landowner is due to circumstances unique to his property not created
by the landowner.
the property owner did not build the house, and the desire to maximize the use of solar
panels did not appear to be the key objective during construction.
c. The variance, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the locality.”
CITY OF ORONO
RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL
NO. ________________________
3
The excess coverage (of panels) will likely not be visible outside of the property.
Lastly, the State Legislature has determined that inadequate access to sunlight
for solar energy systems is a practical difficulty. The configuration of the roof
and lack of alternatives establish a practical difficulty.
4. “Economic considerations alone do not constitute practical difficulties.” Economic
considerations has not been the sole 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.” The applicant has noted that the design of the house roof, the orientation of the accessory
structure, and the City’s prohibition of ground mounted arrays limit adequate access to
sunlight.
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 solar arrays are permitted in every 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 criteria does not apply.
8. “The special conditions applying to the structure or land in question are peculiar to such
property or immediately adjoining property.” The structure’s orientation to the sun does not
support adequate access to the sun for the applicants needs.
9. “The conditions do not apply generally to other land or structures in the district in which the
land is located.” The conditions would apply to other structures not properly oriented to the
sun.
10. “The granting of the application is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a
substantial property right of the applicant.” The right to the sun for solar arrays is a right
provided by the city and the state legislature.
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.” No suggestion that
the increased level of solar panels will impact health, safety, and comfort has been received.
12. “The granting of such variance will not merely serve as a convenience to the applicant, but
is necessary to alleviate demonstrable difficulty.” The variance is not merely a convenience to
the applicant.

Variance
Public Hearing
Background
The applicants are working on behalf of the property owner. They propose a roof mounted
solar array that covers 83% of the roof to which it is affixed, the maximum is 70%.
Practical Difficulties Analysis
Applicant Submittal Information: The applicant offers that the orientation and design of the roof
of the structures offers inadequate access to sunlight are practical difficulties supporting the
requested variance. Additionally, they have provided supporting documentation regarding
Practical Difficulties attached as Exhibit B, and should be asked for additional testimony
regarding the application. The applicants also note that ground mounted solar arrays are not
permitted in Orono.
Planning Staff Practical Difficulty Analysis: Regarding practical difficulty, Staff notes that the
State Statutes (462.357 6. (2)) identify inadequate access to sunlight as a practical difficulty.
In its review staff notes that the improvement will have no impact on neighboring properties.
Further, staff concurs that the state Statute does define inadequate access to sunlight as a
practical difficulty. With the city’s prohibition of ground mounted systems (and recent denial of
a ground mounted array variance on a different property (LA18-000103)), the applicant has no
other choice.
Application Summary: The applicant is requesting a variance to allow solar arrays to cover
more than 70% of the roof
Staff Recommendation: Planning Department Staff recommends approval

Applicable Regulations:
Variance (748-1379 (e) 2. h.): Maximum area. In all residential zoning districts, the collector and
mounting system of a roof-mounted solar energy system shall cover no more than 70 percent of
the roof to which it is affixed.
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.
FILE #LA20-000069

Page 3 of 4
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. The
intent of the 70% rule is to avoid the visual impact of solar panels covering a roof. The
roof structure is not visible form the street, either from Bayside (over 600 feet away),
or McCulley Road (on the other side of a large berm).
The variance is consistent with the comprehensive plan. The Comprehensive Plan includes “To
preserve open space, light, air, and solar access for all citizens while maintaining night
sky” as a general goal (CMP Part 2 Community Plan Foundation, page 13). Additionally,
Cities are required to include an element of protection and access to for solar energy
systems (CMP Part 3A Solar Access Protection, page 14.)
2. 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 placement of solar panels is a reasonable
use.
b. There are circumstances unique to the property not created by the landowner;
the property owner did not build the house, and the desire to maximize the use
of solar panels does not appear to be the key objective during construction and
c. The variance will not alter the essential character of the locality. The excess
coverage (of panels) will likely not be visible outside of the property. Lastly, the
State Legislature has determined that inadequate access to sunlight for solar
energy systems is a practical difficulty.
Additionally City Code 78-123 provides additional parameters within which a variance may be
granted as follows:
3. Economic considerations alone do not constitute practical difficulties. Economic
considerations has not been the sole factor in the variance approval determination.
4. 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. The applicant has noted that the design of the house roof, the orientation of the
accessory structure, and the City’s prohibition of ground mounted arrays limit adequate
access to sunlight.
5. 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 solar arrays are permitted in every district.
6. 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.
7. The special conditions applying to the structure or land in question are peculiar to such
property or immediately adjoining property. The structure’s orientation to the sun does
not support adequate access to the sun.
8. The conditions do not apply generally to other land or structures in the district in which
the land is located. The conditions would apply to other structures not properly oriented
to the sun.
9. The granting of the application is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a
substantial property right of the applicant. The right to the sun for solar arrays is a right
provided by the city and the state legislature.
10. 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. No suggestion
FILE #LA20-000069
November 16, 2020
Page 4 of 4
that the increased level of solar panels will impact health, safety, and comfort has been
received.
11. The granting of such variance will not merely serve as a convenience to the applicant, but
is necessary to alleviate demonstrable difficulty. The variance is not merely a
convenience to the applicant.
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
To date, no public comments have been received. The applicants have submitted Adjacent
Owners Acknowledgment forms from neighboring properties, 87 McCulley Road and 4720
Bayside Road.
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, if granted, will not alter the
essential character of the neighborhood?
3. Does the Commission find it necessary to impose conditions i n order to mitigate the
impacts created by the grant ing of the requested variance ?
4. Are there any other issues or concerns with this application?
Planning Staff Recommendation
Planning Staff recommends approval of the variance as presented.

LA20-000069 ALL ENERGY SOLAR, 4760 BAYSIDE ROAD, VARIANCE. STAFF,
JEREMY BARNHART
Kali Anderson, Applicant, was present.
Staff presented a summary of packet information. Regarding practical difficulty, Staff notes that the
State Statutes identify inadequate access to sunlight as a practical difficulty; in its review, Staff notes that
the improvement will have no impact on neighboring properties. The City prohibits ground mounted solar
systems and recently denied a ground mounted array variance on a different property. Staff supports the
variance as proposed.
Gettman asked if aesthetics is really the only reason that the statute exists, or that actual guidance exists.
Barnhart does not know all of the reasons, but that seems to be the most obvious one. From a structure
standpoint, if the structure can support the additional amount of solar panels, that is a building code
question not necessarily a variance question. Primarily, it is a visual impact type of issue.
Collin Buechel, a representative from All Energy Solar, stated they are proposing to meet the variance
and to address the question; they will get structural analysis on the roof. Any sort of structural
components or concerns will be addressed with a professional engineer licensed in the State of Minnesota
doing analysis on the roof. They are applying for a variance for the 70% coverage rule and as Barnhart
addressed, one of the big reasons the 70% coverage rule is in place is to minimize the visual appearance.
If they were to reduce the solar panel system to meet the 70% coverage, they would also have an irregular
layout; as far as an eyesore, the proposed plan is a clean-cut, square on top of the roof. If the intent of that
70% coverage rule, in combination with it not really being visible from either road besides just the
homeowners, contributes to that factor. As Barnhart mentioned, according to Minnesota statute, access to
direct sunlight is defined as a practical difficulty. He noted the main reason this design was chosen is the
City of Orono also does not allow ground mount solar, so one could argue that there is plenty of access to
solar in the yard, however given that ground mount systems are not permitted, this roof top system is
what they are left with.
Libby asked a few questions as he has dealt with some of these designs and engineering on other
properties outside of Orono. He asked if this is really oriented to be southwest facing, so as the winter
sun zenith drops to the horizon the Applicant will still be able to gather as much sunlight as possible.
Mr. Buechel replied that is correct.
Libby asked if they are incorporating battery backup with this and are able to store any of this energy and
use post sunset.
Mr. Buechel said he believes they are not doing any sort of backup system.
Libby asked if they are integrating the energy that is gathered there into the primary structure, or is this
just solely for the secondary outbuilding.
Mr. Buechel noted this will be tied in and the homeowner will be able to offset their electricity use on
their residence.

Bollis noted this will be a trend that will continue and he is curious as far as clients in other cities, if this
is a pretty common ordinance.
Mr. Buechel said there are some other jurisdictions that allow for the coverage; numbers he has seen are
more in the 80% range, rather than 70%. Typically, that is on the actual residence, not necessarily the
accessory structures. There are not many that have the coverage limitation and if they did it was usually
before; the current building code now incorporates access pathways for firemen to get on the roof and still
have access to put out fires. With the new building code being enforced in April of 2020, some of those
type of preventative methods for safety and is probably part of what this coverage limitation was used to
address, and has now been taken into consideration in the current building code.
Erickson asked if they contemplate removing or trimming any trees in order to gain better solar access.
Mr. Buechel does not believe so.
Kirchner noted it had been said that 83.2% of coverage is required to obtain this aesthetic look of the
squared off panels; would it be possible, obviously not at 70%, but to go less than that to obtain a squared
off visual appearance.
Mr. Buechel replied he may have misspoken. Right now it is a nice, cohesive design, but that number of
panels is designed perfectly to offset 100% of their electricity usage, and that is the rationale behind the
design. He noted he was more-so speaking on if they remove panels, they lose that design.
Kirchner clarified the primary purpose of this design as well as the subsequent variance request is to
accommodate the power required at the primary residence and to offset that.
The representative from All Energy Solar replied that is correct.
Kirchner asked if this could function and provide some power without requiring a variance in going above
the 70%.
The representative from All Energy Solar answered yes, they could reduce panels and offset a smaller
portion of their electricity bill, but the whole rationale is in order for the solar to work for the Applicant,
they’d like a full offset.
Ressler said he believes the homeowner had comments, as well.
Kali Anderson, homeowner at 4760 Bayside Road, noted from a technical standpoint it would absolutely
be feasible to have fewer panels. Their goal was to offset all of their energy usage on an annual basis and
one reason for that is the interconnect process with Wright-Hennepin Co-op is such that this system didn’t
necessarily pencil out financially without being able to offset all of their electricity. Ms. Anderson noted
Mr. Buechel had described the logistics and she wants to share why this is important to her family. As
stated, the system has been designed to offset the electricity they anticipate needing on an annual basis.
In her opinion, the production of energy from carbon-free sources is really becoming more and more
important. She thinks the Governor would probably agree, because in March of 2019, the State of
Minnesota announced a goal that 100% of our electricity would come from carbon-free sources. In order
to meet that goal, she said we need to make changes in both how we use and produce electricity. Some of

these changes will probably go unnoticed by all of us; a lot of these changes will come from the electric
companies at the utility scale and we will be none-the-wiser. Some of these changes would be very
visible to homeowners, for example, putting extra insulation in our homes to make our homes more
efficient. One change they are talking about today is such that it would make Ms. Anderson and her
family happy and smile every time they look at these solar panels because they know they are doing
everything in their power to reduce the carbon footprint while teaching their children the importance of
living within earth-means. On a national scale, the push to become carbon-neutral is of course, stemming
from climate change. The international panel on climate change indicated that in order to keep our way
of life approximately similar to today’s standards, we need to keep our global temperatures from rising
more than 1.5 degrees Celsius. If we imagine for a moment that we allow our earth’s temperature to raise
up to 3 degrees Celsius, the National Audubon Society has estimated that 66% of birds in North America
would become extinct, including up to 50% of raptors. This estimate was only conducted for birds, but
she thinks we can all extrapolate these numbers and imagine the chain effect on the rest of the ecosystem,
including our food production. The National Audubon Society also estimates that if we can keep our
increase in global temperature to 1.5 degrees Celsius, 75% of these avian species could be saved. In order
for our national energy production to become carbon-neutral by 2050, we would need to develop,
construct, and bring online approximately 1,000 gigawatts of wind, 1,000 gigawatts of solar, and 1,000
gigawatts of either hydro, nuclear, or another non-carbon energy source. This equates to doubling the
work force in the next fifteen years, and doubling that number again ten years after that by the year 2045.
Those numbers feel a bit staggering to Ms. Anderson. To bring it back to the local level, she realizes the
little tiny system they are talking about here is not even a drop in the bucket when talking about national
needs. However, this is very significant to her family; her son is 4 years old, and her daughter is 2 years
old and they are already asking what power lines are and what they do. They think wind turbines are
really cool and while they haven’t had a lot of exposure to solar panels yet, Ms. Anderson has no doubt
that they will be spending hours talking about how they can make energy and how they can give people
the ability to turn lights on in their home. If for no other reason, Ms. Anderson is asking the Planning
Commission to approve this variance so her children can grow up knowing and understanding that
everyone needs to do their part to keep our collective home safe.
Chair Ressler opened the public hearing at 6:17 p.m.
Chair Ressler closed the public hearing at 6:17 p.m.
Chair Ressler said to Barnhart they’ve discussed a bit about what the spirit of the maximum of 70% is
how Orono views the maximum for coverages and practical difficulty can allot for accessibility to
sunlight. Of course the alternative would be to clear trees and he does not think anyone is for that, either.
His question is perhaps Barnhart can give him some insight as far as the 70% access to sunlight if there is
not an alternative placement for it in this case. He would have to look a bit closer at the primary, but it
does not seem like it’s a large difference between what is allotted and what is requested and that could be
argued either way. He is looking for more insight on the definition of the practical difficulty as it relates
to accessibility to sunlight.
Barnhart replied he may not have a lot of background on that, but the State statute says practical
difficulties also include, but are not limited to, inadequate access to direct sunlight for solar energy
system. He noted that is all it says on the subject, so maybe the question is, is “inadequate access” the
difference between 70% and 83%. The 70% is Orono’s number and is not a State number, so Barnhart
applied the practical difficulty for the request for variance. Onscreen, Barnhart pointed out the roofline of
the principal structure and said it is really a lot of little roofs and they would get to that 70% pretty

quickly and pretty inefficiently to create the desired amount of solar panel. They have also already
learned that the option in terms of providing ground-mounted solar array, which in many respects is much
bigger screened, is a variance that the Council in the past has not been willing to accept. He noted they
approved one but denied the most recent one. He cannot offer that as a recommendation in terms of
variable and what the Applicant is asking for. He thinks the 13% difference between what is allowed and
what they are requesting is reasonable, given when they know to be a practical difficulty and the impact it
has on the adjacent property. Barnhart thinks they are satisfying the requirements of City code by
approving this variance.
Kirchner is struggling a little bit, he has heard the practical difficulties were listed as inadequate access to
sunlight, and if he understands correctly, it does not seem that there is inadequate access to sunlight.
Rather, in order to offset the primary structure’s power consumption, there needs to be this amount of
panels. He understands that the roofline of the primary structure is a challenging roof with many gables,
which then allows for the accessory structure to be the next best option for the placement of this. He is
struggling to understand how the gables on the roof of the primary structure should then allow for the
variance over and above the 70% here. Generally, he is very supportive of something like this and he
believes it is a great use of the property; it looks like there is a lot of land there and good space to do
something like this. He is struggling on truly grasping that the practical difficulty is inadequate access to
sunlight.
Gettman said the State statute actually says “the practical difficulties shall include, but are not limited to,
the access to the sunlight.” He sees this as discretionary and said they have arbitrarily come up with the
70% and that seems to be for the fire control, so if they are able to still do the fire control he does not see
any reason why this arbitrary number of 83% would not be acceptable.
McCutcheon said one could argue that just because of where we are located north in the northern
hemisphere that we have inadequate access to the sun. Being in Minnesota and that far north in the winter
it is the access to our sun, he thinks they can all agree, that is inadequate. Going forward, the City will
see more of this and the challenges and will have to walk before they run. This situation is not a big ask
and he is for it.
Erickson said of the various solar applications received to date, this impressed him as perhaps the best one
for a number of factors. One, the placement of this building on the roof and in relation to this property and
relation to the neighbors, the neighbors will not complain about how it looks. Also, being on the roof is
desirable to being on the ground and also reduces any temptation to cut down trees. He noted the
southeast placement of this roof is fortunate, because Frank Lloyd Wright had thoughts on passive solar
and recommended to his students that they always place their walk out buildings with most of the glass
facing southeast. His reasoning was that in that arrangement they would catch the morning sun to warm
the building and as the day wore on, the sun would swing around to the west and there wouldn’t be as
much solar buildup through the window. He feels very comfortable in supporting this application.
Chair Ressler noted perhaps this is an opportunity for the City to look at what their limitations are, why is
it 70%, is it because of fire safety and has that been addressed or mitigated, then that could be an
opportunity to revisit what those rules and regulations are for. However, it is his interpretation of this
variance would be placement for solar panels with accessibility to sunlight, not increasing the available
percentage of what has been allotted in the City code. He personally thinks that it is honorable to want to
get to a net zero as far as sunlight accessibility goes and he does not dismiss that. He looks at it two
ways: either the City needs to increase the allotted amount of percentage of coverage, or they need to

stick with what they’ve got because 70% is the rule and he does not see a reason in this case to go above
and beyond it just because it is aesthetically not imposing. If nothing else, perhaps it is an opportunity to
research deeper as to why that 70% number could not be increased.
Bollis asked Mr. Buechel in designing these systems, in the standard for this to design it for 100%, or
110%, 120%, or something like that.
Mr. Buechel said it depends on what the clients are looking to do. Some clients are trying to maximize
their return on investment; depending on the utility there are different rebates, tax credits, and it is entirely
based off of location, what utility they have, their property, but yes, in general the goal is to design
complete offset of electricity for most projects.
Bollis asked in that design, do they accommodate for the panels deteriorating over time; do they
overdesign in order to offset the 100% 10 years from now.
Mr. Buechel replied no, it is based off the wattage of the panels because theoretically they would not
deteriorate. He noted if there are newer model panels and a client wanted to remove what they have to
get their system higher wattage based on technology improvements, they can do that, as well, and remove
and recycle those panels.
Kirchner asked with this system, is there any issue with the amount of sunlight it will capture or is it
logistics of how many watts each panel is in order to be able to get to the capacity to offset the power
usage.
Mr. Buechel said they are using one of the highest wattage panels that are available on the market for this
project, so it is certainly the access, not so much the difference in panel size.
Kirchner said it has to do with how much sunlight those panels are receiving in order to generate the
amount of watts they do, or how does that work.
Mr. Buechel replied yes, the panel choice and the design is based to off-set 100% of the electricity bill.
With their yearly usage, this system should produce what their electricity consumption is forecasted to be.
Kirchner said in order to accomplish that, they need to go above and beyond the 70% up to the 83%.
Collin replied that is correct.
Libby moved, Gettman seconded, to approve LA20-000069, 4760 Bayside Road, Variance as
applied. VOTE: Ayes 5 (Bollis, Erickson, Gettman, Libby, McCutcheon), Nays 2 (Kirchner,
Ressler).

PRACTICAL DIFFICULTIES DOCUMENTATION FORM
LA20-000069
1. The property owner proposes to use the property in a reasonable manner not permitted by the Zoning Chapter.
Response: The solar ordinance as outlined by the City of Orono allows solar energy systems to be used in all zoning districts, but is
only permitted as a roof-mounted system. The property owner proposes to install a roof-mounted solar system.
2. The plight of the landowner is due to circumstances unique to his property not created by the landowner.
Response: The residence was built in 1999 and the current property owners purchased in 2018. The residence's roof structure consists
of many valleys and hips that are not feasible for solar panels to be installed on. In addition, ground mounted solar PV systems are not
permitted in the City of Orono, leaving this structure and more specifically, this roof plane, as the remaining ideal location to place solar
panels.
3. The variance, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the locality.
Response: Rooftop solar PV is a permitted use in the City of Orono. The proposed array will have limited visibility if any from neighbors
and fellow residents due to flush mounted design, natural screening, and location and tilt of the roof plane.
4. Economic considerations alone do not constitute practical difficulties if reasonable use for the property exists under
the terms of the Zoning Chapter.
Response: Our design meets the 2020 State of Minnesota Building code; however, it does not meet the City of Orono's requirements
outlined in Sec. 78-1379 of Orono's Zoning Ordinance. Specifically Sub e, number 2, letter h which states, "Maximum area. In all
residential zoning districts, the collector and mounting system of a roof-mounted solar energy system shall cover no more than 70
percent of the roof to which it is affixed". The current array design covers approximately 83% of the roof plane. Minnesota Statute
462.357, subd. 6, states that inadequate access to direct sunlight for solar energy systems is a practical difficulty.
5. Practical difficulties 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 Minnesota Statutes, Section 116J.06, Subd. 2,
when in harmony with this Chapter.
Response: The property consists of two buildings: the residence and a pole barn. The residence's back roof is Northeast facing while
the front is Southwest facing. The pole barn is South-Southeast facing, at 155 degrees azimuth. Due to Minnesota residing on the North
side of the equator line, the optimal azimuth for solar access is South, therefore the pole barn is the better suited location for solar
panels. Additionally, the residence's roof structure consists of many valleys and hips that are not feasible for solar panels to be installed
on. Minnesota Statute 462.357, subd. 6, states that inadequate access to direct sunlight for solar energy systems is a practical difficulty.
6. The Board of Appeals and Adjustments or the Council may not permit as a variance any use that is not allowed under
this Chapter for property in the zone where the affected person's land is located.
Response: N/A
7. The Board or Council may permit as a variance the temporary use of a one-family dwelling as a two-family dwelling.
Response: N/A
8. The special conditions applying to the structure or land in question are peculiar to such property or immediately
adjoining property.
Response: The property consists of two buildings: the residence and a pole barn. The residence's back roof is Northeast facing while
the front is Southwest facing. The pole barn is South-Southeast facing, at 155 degrees azimuth. Due to Minnesota residing on the North
side of the equator line, the optimal azimuth for solar access is South, therefore the pole barn is the better suited location for solar
panels. Additionally, the residence's roof structure consists of many valleys and hips that are not feasible for solar panels to be installed
on.
9. The conditions do not apply generally to other land or structures in the district in which said land is located.
Response: N/A
10. The granting of the application is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a substantial property right of the
applicant.
Response: It is the property owner's and right to supplement or utilize alternatives to conventional fuels, in which they are choosing to
do so by installing a solar energy system.
11. The granting of the proposed variance will not in any way impair health, safety, comfort, morals, or in any other
LA20-69 ExE
respect be contrary to the intent of the Zoning Code.
Response: The City of Orono's Community Management Plan, Part 3A Environmental Protection Plan outlines the need for protecting
solar access. Granting this proposed variance will not impair health, safety, comfort, morals or otherwise, but rather be contributing to
the City's 2040 plan.
12. The granting of such variance will not merely serve as a convenience to the applicant but is necessary to alleviate
demonstrable difficulty.
Response: Our design meets the 2020 State of Minnesota Building code; however, it does not meet the City of Orono's requirements
outlined in Sec. 78-1379 of Orono's Zoning Ordinance. Specifically Sub e, number 2, letter h which states, "Maximum area. In all
residential zoning districts, the collector and mounting system of a roof-mounted solar energy system shall cover no more than 70
percent of the roof to which it is affixed". The current array design covers approximately 83% of the roof plane. Minnesota Statute
462.357, subd. 6, states that inadequate access to direct sunlight for solar energy systems is a practical difficulty.

Dear City of Orono,
Aron and Kali Anderson live at 4760 Bayside Road in Orono. They are seeking to install a solar
photovoltaic (PV) system on the roof of a pole barn on their property.
Minnesota §462.357, subd. 6, states that inadequate access to direct sunlight for solar energy
systems is a practical difficulty. The combination of ground-mounted solar PV arrays not being
permitted in Orono and the uniqueness of the property, limit access to direct sunlight on this
property. In order to maximize production of the system on the property, All Energy Solar has
designed a flush-mounted solar PV system to go on the Southern facing roof plane of the pole
barn. The solar will be interconnected to a meter that is located at the pole barn. The array will
not be visible from the nearby streets - McCulley and Bayside Roads.
Our design meets the 2020 State of Minnesota Building code; however, it does not meet the
City of Orono’s requirements outlined in Sec. 78-1379 of Orono’s Zoning Ordinance. Specifically
Sub e, number 2, letter h which states, “Maximum area. In all residential zoning districts, the
collector and mounting system of a roof-mounted solar energy system shall cover no more than
70 percent of the roof to which it is affixed”. The current array design covers approximately 83%
of the roof plane.
This proposed system will not impact the character of the neighborhood and will not affect the
welfare, safety or health of the community. The proposed system will help Aron and Kali offset
their electricity use and contribute to the State of Minnesota’s clean energy goals.
Sincerely,
All Energy Solar

462.357 OFFICIAL CONTROLS: ZONING ORDINANCE.
Subdivision 1.Authority for zoning.For the purpose of promoting the public health, safety, morals,
and general welfare, a municipality may by ordinance regulate on the earth's surface, in the air space above
the surface, and in subsurface areas, the location, height, width, bulk, type of foundation, number of stories,
size of buildings and other structures, the percentage of lot which may be occupied, the size of yards and
other open spaces, the density and distribution of population, the uses of buildings and structures for trade,
industry, residence, recreation, public activities, or other purposes, and the uses of land for trade, industry,
residence, recreation, agriculture, forestry, soil conservation, water supply conservation, conservation of
shorelands, as defined in sections 103F.201 to 103F.221, access to direct sunlight for solar energy systems
as defined in section 216C.06, flood control or other purposes, and may establish standards and procedures
regulating such uses. To accomplish these purposes, official controls may include provision for purchase of
development rights by the governing body in the form of conservation easements under chapter 84C in areas
where the governing body considers preservation desirable and the transfer of development rights from those
areas to areas the governing body considers more appropriate for development. No regulation may prohibit
earth sheltered construction as defined in section 216C.06, subdivision 14, relocated residential buildings,
or manufactured homes built in conformance with sections 327.31 to 327.35 that comply with all other
zoning ordinances promulgated pursuant to this section. The regulations may divide the surface, above
surface, and subsurface areas of the municipality into districts or zones of suitable numbers, shape, and area.
The regulations shall be uniform for each class or kind of buildings, structures, or land and for each class
or kind of use throughout such district, but the regulations in one district may differ from those in other
districts. The ordinance embodying these regulations shall be known as the zoning ordinance and shall
consist of text and maps. A city may by ordinance extend the application of its zoning regulations to
unincorporated territory located within two miles of its limits in any direction, but not in a county or town
which has adopted zoning regulations; provided that where two or more noncontiguous municipalities have
boundaries less than four miles apart, each is authorized to control the zoning of land on its side of a line
equidistant between the two noncontiguous municipalities unless a town or county in the affected area has
adopted zoning regulations. Any city may thereafter enforce such regulations in the area to the same extent
as if such property were situated within its corporate limits, until the county or town board adopts a
comprehensive zoning regulation which includes the area.
Subd. 1a.Certain zoning ordinances.A municipality must not enact, amend, or enforce a zoning
ordinance that has the effect of altering the existing density, lot-size requirements, or manufactured home
setback requirements in any manufactured home park constructed before January 1, 1995, if the manufactured
home park, when constructed, complied with the then existing density, lot-size and setback requirements.
Subd. 1b.Conditional uses.A manufactured home park, as defined in section 327.14, subdivision 3,
is a conditional use in a zoning district that allows the construction or placement of a building used or
intended to be used by two or more families.
Subd. 1c.Amortization prohibited.Except as otherwise provided in this subdivision, a municipality
must not enact, amend, or enforce an ordinance providing for the elimination or termination of a use by
amortization which use was lawful at the time of its inception. This subdivision does not apply to adults-only
bookstores, adults-only theaters, or similar adults-only businesses, as defined by ordinance.
Subd. 1d.Nuisance.Subdivision 1c does not prohibit a municipality from enforcing an ordinance
providing for the prevention or abatement of nuisances, as defined in section 561.01, or eliminating a use
determined to be a public nuisance, as defined in section 617.81, subdivision 2, paragraph (a), clauses (i) to
(ix), without payment of compensation.

LA20-69 Exhibit H
Subd. 1e.Nonconformities.(a) Except as otherwise provided by law, any nonconformity, including
the lawful use or occupation of land or premises existing at the time of the adoption of an additional control
under this chapter, may be continued, including through repair, replacement, restoration, maintenance, or
improvement, but not including expansion, unless:
(1) the nonconformity or occupancy is discontinued for a period of more than one year; or
(2) any nonconforming use is destroyed by fire or other peril to the extent of greater than 50 percent of
its estimated market value, as indicated in the records of the county assessor at the time of damage, and no
building permit has been applied for within 180 days of when the property is damaged. In this case, a
municipality may impose reasonable conditions upon a zoning or building permit in order to mitigate any
newly created impact on adjacent property or water body. When a nonconforming structure in the shoreland
district with less than 50 percent of the required setback from the water is destroyed by fire or other peril to
greater than 50 percent of its estimated market value, as indicated in the records of the county assessor at
the time of damage, the structure setback may be increased if practicable and reasonable conditions are
placed upon a zoning or building permit to mitigate created impacts on the adjacent property or water body.
(b) Any subsequent use or occupancy of the land or premises shall be a conforming use or occupancy.
A municipality may, by ordinance, permit an expansion or impose upon nonconformities reasonable
regulations to prevent and abate nuisances and to protect the public health, welfare, or safety. This subdivision
does not prohibit a municipality from enforcing an ordinance that applies to adults-only bookstores, adults-only
theaters, or similar adults-only businesses, as defined by ordinance.
(c) Notwithstanding paragraph (a), a municipality shall regulate the repair, replacement, maintenance,
improvement, or expansion of nonconforming uses and structures in floodplain areas to the extent necessary
to maintain eligibility in the National Flood Insurance Program and not increase flood damage potential or
increase the degree of obstruction to flood flows in the floodway.
(d) Paragraphs (d) to (j) apply to shoreland lots of record in the office of the county recorder on the date
of adoption of local shoreland controls that do not meet the requirements for lot size or lot width. A
municipality shall regulate the use of nonconforming lots of record and the repair, replacement, maintenance,
improvement, or expansion of nonconforming uses and structures in shoreland areas according to paragraphs
(d) to (j).
(e) A nonconforming single lot of record located within a shoreland area may be allowed as a building
site without variances from lot size requirements, provided that:
(1) all structure and septic system setback distance 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 does not exceed 25 percent of the lot.
(f) In a group of two or more contiguous lots of record under a common ownership, an individual lot
must be considered as a separate parcel of land for the purpose of sale or development, if it meets the
following requirements:
(1) the lot must be at least 66 percent of the dimensional standard for lot width and lot size for the
shoreland classification consistent with Minnesota Rules, chapter 6120;
Official Publication of the State of Minnesota
Revisor of Statutes
2MINNESOTA STATUTES 2020462.357
(2) the lot must be connected to a public sewer, if available, or must be suitable for the installation of a
Type 1 sewage treatment system consistent with Minnesota Rules, chapter 7080, and local government
controls;
(3) impervious surface coverage must not exceed 25 percent of each lot; and
(4) development of the lot must be consistent with an adopted comprehensive plan.
(g) A lot subject to paragraph (f) not meeting the requirements of paragraph (f) must be combined with
the one or more contiguous lots so they equal one or more conforming lots as much as possible.
(h) Notwithstanding paragraph (f), contiguous nonconforming lots of record in shoreland areas under a
common ownership must be able to be sold or purchased individually if each lot contained a habitable
residential dwelling at the time the lots came under common ownership and the lots are suitable for, or
served by, a sewage treatment system consistent with the requirements of section 115.55 and Minnesota
Rules, chapter 7080, or connected to a public sewer.
(i) In evaluating all variances, zoning and building permit applications, or conditional use requests, the
zoning authority shall require the property owner to address, when appropriate, storm water runoff
management, reducing impervious surfaces, increasing setback, restoration of wetlands, vegetative buffers,
sewage treatment and water supply capabilities, and other conservation-designed actions.
(j) A portion of a conforming lot may be separated from an existing parcel as long as the remainder of
the existing parcel meets the lot size and sewage treatment requirements of the zoning district for a new lot
and the newly created parcel is combined with an adjacent parcel.
Subd. 1f.Substandard structures.Notwithstanding subdivision 1e, Minnesota Rules, parts 6105.0351
to 6105.0550, may allow for the continuation and improvement of substandard structures, as defined in
Minnesota Rules, part 6105.0354, subpart 30, in the Lower Saint Croix National Scenic Riverway.
Subd. 1g.Feedlot zoning controls.(a) A municipality proposing to adopt a new feedlot zoning control
or to amend an existing feedlot zoning control must notify the Pollution Control Agency and commissioner
of agriculture at the beginning of the process, no later than the date notice is given of the first hearing
proposing to adopt or amend a zoning control purporting to address feedlots.
(b) Prior to final approval of a feedlot zoning control, the governing body of a municipality may submit
a copy of the proposed zoning control to the Pollution Control Agency and to the commissioner of agriculture
and request review, comment, and recommendations on the environmental and agricultural effects from
specific provisions in the ordinance.
(c) The agencies' response to the municipality may include:
(1) any recommendations for improvements in the ordinance; and
(2) the legal, social, economic, or scientific justification for each recommendation under clause (1).
(d) At the request of the municipality's governing body, the municipality must prepare a report on the
economic effects from specific provisions in the ordinance. Economic analysis must state whether the
ordinance will affect the local economy and describe the kinds of businesses affected and the projected
impact the proposal will have on those businesses. To assist the municipality, the commissioner of agriculture,
in cooperation with the Department of Employment and Economic Development, must develop a template
for measuring local economic effects and make it available to the municipality. The report must be submitted
Official Publication of the State of Minnesota
Revisor of Statutes
462.357MINNESOTA STATUTES 20203
to the commissioners of employment and economic development and agriculture along with the proposed
ordinance.
(e) A local ordinance that contains a setback for new feedlots from existing residences must also provide
for a new residence setback from existing feedlots located in areas zoned agricultural at the same distances
and conditions specified in the setback for new feedlots, unless the new residence is built to replace an
existing residence. A municipality may grant a variance from this requirement under section 462.358,
subdivision 6.
Subd. 1h.Comprehensive plans in greater Minnesota; open spaces.When adopting or updating a
comprehensive plan in a municipality located within a county that is not a greater than 80 percent area, as
defined in section 103G.005, subdivision 10b, and that is located outside the metropolitan area, as defined
by section 473.121, subdivision 2, the municipality shall consider adopting goals and objectives for the
preservation of agricultural, forest, wildlife, and open space land and the minimization of development in
sensitive shoreland areas. Within three years of updating the comprehensive plan, the municipality shall
consider adopting ordinances as part of the municipality's official controls that encourage the implementation
of the goals and objectives.
Subd. 1i.Airport safety zones on zoning maps.Airport safety zones must be included on maps that
illustrate boundaries of zoning districts and that are adopted as official controls.
Subd. 2.General requirements.(a) At any time after the adoption of a land use plan for the municipality,
the planning agency, for the purpose of carrying out the policies and goals of the land use plan, may prepare
a proposed zoning ordinance and submit it to the governing body with its recommendations for adoption.
(b) Subject to the requirements of subdivisions 3, 4, and 5, the governing body may adopt and amend
a zoning ordinance by a majority vote of all its members. The adoption or amendment of any portion of a
zoning ordinance which changes all or part of the existing classification of a zoning district from residential
to either commercial or industrial requires a two-thirds majority vote of all members of the governing body.
(c) The land use plan must provide guidelines for the timing and sequence of the adoption of official
controls to ensure planned, orderly, and staged development and redevelopment consistent with the land
use plan.
Subd. 3.Public hearings.No zoning ordinance or amendment thereto shall be adopted until a public
hearing has been held thereon by the planning agency or by the governing body. A notice of the time, place
and purpose of the hearing shall be published in the official newspaper of the municipality at least ten days
prior to the day of the hearing. When an amendment involves changes in district boundaries affecting an
area of five acres or less, a similar notice shall be mailed at least ten days before the day of the hearing to
each owner of affected property and property situated wholly or partly within 350 feet of the property to
which the amendment relates. For the purpose of giving mailed notice, the person responsible for mailing
the notice may use any appropriate records to determine the names and addresses of owners. A copy of the
notice and a list of the owners and addresses to which the notice was sent shall be attested to by the responsible
person and shall be made a part of the records of the proceedings. The failure to give mailed notice to
individual property owners, or defects in the notice shall not invalidate the proceedings, provided a bona
fide attempt to comply with this subdivision has been made.
Subd. 4.Amendments.An amendment to a zoning ordinance may be initiated by the governing body,
the planning agency, or by petition of affected property owners as defined in the zoning ordinance. An
amendment not initiated by the planning agency shall be referred to the planning agency, if there is one, for
study and report and may not be acted upon by the governing body until it has received the recommendation
Official Publication of the State of Minnesota
Revisor of Statutes
4MINNESOTA STATUTES 2020462.357
of the planning agency on the proposed amendment or until 60 days have elapsed from the date of reference
of the amendment without a report by the planning agency.
Subd. 5.Amendment; certain cities of the first class.The provisions of this subdivision apply to the
adoption or amendment of any portion of a zoning ordinance which changes all or part of the existing
classification of a zoning district from residential to either commercial or industrial of a property located in
a city of the first class, except a city of the first class in which a different process is provided through the
operation of the city's home rule charter. In a city to which this subdivision applies, amendments to a zoning
ordinance shall be made in conformance with this section but only after there shall have been filed in the
office of the city clerk a written consent of the owners of two-thirds of the several descriptions of real estate
situate within 100 feet of the total contiguous descriptions of real estate held by the same owner or any party
purchasing any such contiguous property within one year preceding the request, and after the affirmative
vote in favor thereof by a majority of the members of the governing body of any such city. The governing
body of such city may, by a two-thirds vote of its members, after hearing, adopt a new zoning ordinance
without such written consent whenever the planning commission or planning board of such city shall have
made a survey of the whole area of the city or of an area of not less than 40 acres, within which the new
ordinance or the amendments or alterations of the existing ordinance would take effect when adopted, and
shall have considered whether the number of descriptions of real estate affected by such changes and
alterations renders the obtaining of such written consent impractical, and such planning commission or
planning board shall report in writing as to whether in its opinion the proposals of the governing body in
any case are reasonably related to the overall needs of the community, to existing land use, or to a plan for
future land use, and shall have conducted a public hearing on such proposed ordinance, changes or alterations,
of which hearing published notice shall have been given in a daily newspaper of general circulation at least
once each week for three successive weeks prior to such hearing, which notice shall state the time, place
and purpose of such hearing, and shall have reported to the governing body of the city its findings and
recommendations in writing.
Subd. 6.Appeals and adjustments.Appeals to the board of appeals and adjustments may be taken by
any affected person upon compliance with any reasonable conditions imposed by the zoning ordinance. The
board of appeals and adjustments has the following powers with respect to the zoning ordinance:
(1) To hear and decide appeals where it is alleged that there is an error in any order, requirement, decision,
or determination made by an administrative officer in the enforcement of the zoning ordinance.
(2) To hear requests for variances from the requirements of the zoning ordinance including restrictions
placed on nonconformities. Variances shall only be permitted when they are in harmony with the general
purposes and intent of the ordinance and when the variances are consistent with the comprehensive plan.
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 the property owner proposes to use the property in a reasonable manner not permitted
by the zoning ordinance; the plight of the landowner is due to circumstances unique to the property not
created by the landowner; and the variance, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the locality.
Economic considerations alone do not constitute practical difficulties. Practical difficulties 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 section 216C.06, subdivision 14, when in harmony with the
ordinance. The board of appeals and adjustments or the governing body as the case may be, may not permit
as a variance any use that is not allowed under the zoning ordinance for property in the zone where the
affected person's land is located. The board or governing body as the case may be, may permit as a variance
the temporary use of a one family dwelling as a two family dwelling. The board or governing body as the
Official Publication of the State of Minnesota
Revisor of Statutes
462.357MINNESOTA STATUTES 20205
case may be may impose conditions in the granting of variances. A condition must be directly related to and
must bear a rough proportionality to the impact created by the variance.
Subd. 6a.Normal residential surroundings for persons with disabilities.It is the policy of this state
that persons with disabilities should not be excluded by municipal zoning ordinances or other land use
regulations from the benefits of normal residential surroundings. For purposes of subdivisions 6a through
9, "person" has the meaning given in section 245A.02, subdivision 11.
Subd. 7.Permitted single family use.A state licensed residential facility or a housing with services
establishment registered under chapter 144D serving six or fewer persons, a licensed day care facility serving
12 or fewer persons, and a group family day care facility licensed under Minnesota Rules, parts 9502.0315
to 9502.0445 to serve 14 or fewer children shall be considered a permitted single family residential use of
property for the purposes of zoning, except that a residential facility whose primary purpose is to treat
juveniles who have violated criminal statutes relating to sex offenses or have been adjudicated delinquent
on the basis of conduct in violation of criminal statutes relating to sex offenses shall not be considered a
permitted use.
Subd. 8.Permitted multifamily use.Except as otherwise provided in subdivision 7 or in any town,
municipal or county zoning regulation as authorized by this subdivision, a state licensed residential facility
serving from 7 through 16 persons or a licensed day care facility serving from 13 through 16 persons shall
be considered a permitted multifamily residential use of property for purposes of zoning. A township,
municipal or county zoning authority may require a conditional use or special use permit in order to assure
proper maintenance and operation of a facility, provided that no conditions shall be imposed on the facility
which are more restrictive than those imposed on other conditional uses or special uses of residential property
in the same zones, unless the additional conditions are necessary to protect the health and safety of the
residents of the residential facility. Nothing herein shall be construed to exclude or prohibit residential or
day care facilities from single family zones if otherwise permitted by a local zoning regulation.
Subd. 9.Development goals and objectives.In adopting official controls after July 1, 2008, in a
municipality outside the metropolitan area, as defined by section 473.121, subdivision 2, the municipality
shall consider restricting new residential, commercial, and industrial development so that the new development
takes place in areas subject to the following goals and objectives:
(1) minimizing the fragmentation and development of agricultural, forest, wildlife, and open space lands,
including consideration of appropriate minimum lot sizes;
(2) minimizing further development in sensitive shoreland areas;
(3) minimizing development near wildlife management areas, scientific and natural areas, and nature
centers;
(4) encouraging land uses in airport safety zones that are compatible with the safe operation of the airport
and the safety of people in the vicinity of the airport;
(5) identification of areas of preference for higher density, including consideration of existing and
necessary water and wastewater services, infrastructure, other services, and to the extent feasible, encouraging
full development of areas previously zoned for nonagricultural uses;
(6) encouraging development close to places of employment, shopping centers, schools, mass transit,
and other public and private service centers;
(7) identification of areas where other developments are appropriate; and
Official Publication of the State of Minnesota
Revisor of Statutes
6MINNESOTA STATUTES 2020462.357
(8) other goals and objectives a municipality may identify.

AGENDA ITEM
Prepared By: LLO Reviewed By:J.Barnhart Approved By DJR
1.Purpose. The applicant is requesting lot area, lot width, and side yard setbacks.
2.Background. The applicant is planning to construct a new home on the property. Currently, the
property is vacant. The proposed home has a similar front setback as neighboring properties. The
applicant is proposing a rambler style home with a walk out basement. The property is nonconforming
with respect to area with 1.22 acres and in width at 123.77’, where the RR-1A district requires 5 acres in
area and 300’ in width. The application proposed a 15.5’ north side yard setback and an 18.2’ south side
yard setback.
The applicant has submitted an amended plan, image below, (Exhibit A) to accommodate the abutting
northern neighbor’s comments provided at Planning Commission. The amended plans reflect an 18.2’
northern side yard setback and a southern 15.5’ side yard setback.
3.15.99 Deadline. The applicant made a complete application on November 12, 2020. Following the
60-day deadline the application would expire on January 11, 2020.
4.Planning Commission Vote and Comment. The Planning Commission reviewed the presented item,
held the public hearing on November 16, 2020, and discussed the 3 proposed variances. Commissioners
were overall in support allowing a home to be built in the substandard lot. Commissioners McCutcheon,

to approve the proposed application as presented, with McCutcheon, Kirchner and Gettman opposed.
5. Public Comment. The neighbors to the north Mr. and Mrs. Krump (25 Stubbs Bay Road)
commented at the public hearing with concerns regarding the proposed 15.5 foot side yard setback. They
requested the house be shifted a few feet to the south to allow a slightly larger side yard setback abutting
their property (to the north) and a smaller side yard setback on the south property line.
The applicant has amended the proposed plans to match the neighbors request for a 18.2’ north side yard
setback and a 15.5’ side yard setback. The applicant submitted an email from the neighbor at 25 Stubbs
Bay Road in support of the amended plans (Exhibit C).

and legally described as:
That part of the SE ¼ of the SW ¼ of Section 32, Township 118 North, Range 23

(hereinafter the “Property”);
WHEREAS, the Applicants have made application to the City of Orono for a
variance to Orono Municipal Zoning Code Section 78-395 to allow for side yard setbacks; and
WHEREAS, the Applicants have made application to the City of Orono for a
variance to Orono Municipal Zoning Code Section 78-72 to allow for lot area and lot width; and
WHEREAS, on November 16, 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 November 16, 2020, the Planning Commission recommended
approval of the variance; and
WHEREAS, on December 7, 2020 the City Council reviewed the 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 variance as described above based on one or more of the
following findings of fact concerning the Property:
FINDINGS OF FACT:
CITY OF ORONO
RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL
NO. ________________________
2
1. This application was reviewed as Zoning File #LA20-000071. 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 RR-1A Zoning District.
3. The Property contains 1.2 acres in area and has a defined lot width of 123.77 feet.
4. The Property is exempt from hardcover restrictions according to the Stormwater Quality
Overlay District.
5. Applicant has applied for the following variances:
a. Side yard setback
b. Lot area
c. Lot width
6. 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 applicant is proposing to construct a new single
family home on a residential lot which is consistent with the intent of the ordinance.
The lot width and lot area variances are consistent with the general intent of the
Ordinance. The side yard setback variance request is reasonable considering
buildable area of the property.
2. “Variances shall only be permitted . . . when the variances are consistent with the
comprehensive plan.” The variances resulting in a permit for a new single family
residence in a residential zone are consistent with the Comprehensive Plan.
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.
CITY OF ORONO
RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL
NO. ________________________
3
The applicant is proposing to use the property in a reasonable manner with
the construction of a single family home. There is limited space to construct
a conforming building on the site.
b. The plight of the landowner is due to circumstances unique to his property not created
by the landowner.
The plight of the property owner is due to the existing substandard lot area
and width, and
c. The variance, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the locality.”
The character of the neighborhood is not likely to be significantly altered by
construction of the residence.
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 single family home is an allowed use
in the RR-1A 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 size and width of the lot within the RR-
1A zoning district is unique, and supports approval of the requested lot width, lot
area and setback variances.
9. “The conditions do not apply generally to other land or structures in the district in which the
land is located.” The size of the lot is unique within the existing 5-acre zoning district.
10. “The granting of the application is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a
substantial property right of the applicant.” The applicant stated this is true.
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 of the
requested variances would not impair health, safety, comfort or morals and would
be in keeping with the intent of the zoning code.
CITY OF ORONO
RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL
NO. ________________________
4
12. “The granting of such variance will not merely serve as a convenience to the applicant, but
is necessary to alleviate demonstrable difficulty.” The applicant has stated the narrow lot
results in setback challenges for construction of a single family home. The property
is unique in size for this zoning district.
CONCLUSIONS, ORDER AND CONDITIONS:
Based upon one or more of the above findings, the Orono City Council hereby grants a
variance to Orono Municipal Zoning Code Section 78-395 and 78-72 to allow side yard setback,
lot area and lot width, subject to the following conditions:
1. Council approval is based on the entire record, above Findings.
2. The approved project shall conform to the survey dated 11/18/2020 and building plans
submitted by the Applicants and annotated by City staff, attached to this Resolution as
Exhibits A.
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 (December 7, 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 ______ day of ________________, 20__.

As you will see, the setbacks have been flipped as you proposed.
Instead of having 15.5 feet on the right side it’s now 18.2 feet like
you wanted!

Hi Denny,
Here is the updated survey that we've
submitted to the City of Orono. The buyer is
totally fine with flipping the setbacks so
you'll see 18.2 feet south and 15.5 north!
Our city planner Laura Oakden wanted to
see if you could email me back with your
approval on this update. I think this change
will benefit both you and the new owner!

MINUTES OF THE
ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION
Monday, November 16, 2020
6:00 o’clock p.m.
_____________________________________________________________________________________
3. LA20-000071 JACOB STICKNEY, 15 STUBBS BAY ROAD NORTH, VARIANCES.
STAFF: LAURA OAKDEN
Staff presented a summary of packet information. Planning Staff recommends approval of this
Application and finds the existing lot area and width as practical difficulties to support the variance. Staff
finds there are inherent practical difficulties with that substandard lot for the new home. The Applicant
submitted an acknowledgement signature from the neighbor as Exhibit F. Staff recommends approval of
the lot area, lot width, and side-yard setback variances.
Gettman asked when this was actually subdivided, and whether this is the same owner that was part of the
subdivision that created this situation where they cannot build on it and therefore have a variance.
Ms. Oakden replied no, she believes there is a new owner to the property and this lot has been in
existence for quite a while as a vacant lot. She does not have the date of when the lot was created.
George Stickney, 340 Peavey Road, said to back up a bit, he and his son Jacob are representing the Dunn
family. This property has been in the family for 50-60 years or so.
Chair Ressler told Mr. Stickney they would close up a few questions with Staff and then they could hear
from him.
Ms. Oakden noted it sounds like she was speaking inaccurately that the Dunn family is current owner and
she will let Mr. Stickney finish speaking to that.
Libby asked if this is outside the MUSA and does not have City sewer available to it.
Ms. Oakden said that is correct.
Kirchner noted in the presentation, Ms. Oakden had mentioned that the setbacks proposed here are similar
to neighboring properties. He asked roughly how far off the lot line those are.
Ms. Oakden said the neighbor to the north has about a 16 foot side-yard setback and about a 45 foot front
yard setback. This Applicant is proposing a 50 foot front yard setback so they meet that exception, and
are proposing a 15.5 foot setback to the north, and an 18 foot setback to the south.
Kirchner asked if there are any homes to the south of this one.
Ms. Oakden replied they do abut a property and showed a map onscreen. She noted there is one home to
the north but no other homes in the area. This property has a flag that abuts the vacant lot they are talking
about and then pointed out Bederwood Park.
McCutcheon noted this is not unusual; there are many lots on this road that are skinny like this.
Ms. Oakden replied lots that are very narrow, that is correct.
McCutcheon said they subdivided them wrong a long time ago.
Mr. George Stickney, 340 Peavey Road, Wayzata, is representing the Dunn family trust. When the
family first met with Mr. Stickney and his son and said they really want to sell this lot, their mother has
owned it forever and they have never built on it. The family has grown up in Orono, at least 60 years it
has been like this, a nice lot, and a vacant lot. To sell the lot, he told the family he is really not going to
sell the lot until he gets this settled at the City level, as he needs approved variances. It is a 1.22 acre lot
that is in a 5 acre zoning district, as Staff reported; normally with 300 feet of width, a 50 foot setback is
acceptable. He said if he was to follow the strict guidelines of the ordinances, he noted onscreen the 100
foot line is right about there [noted onscreen], and said there is about 50 feet by 23.77 feet between the
septic to build a house. He stated that will not sell to anybody they know, so they met as a family for the
trust with Ms. Curtis and Mr. Barnhart and said they wanted to propose something that is fair. He noted
all 4 of the lots on Stubbs Bay Road have a little difficulty being able to be guided with 100 foot front
setbacks, they all fail that, and setbacks that are 50 feet on the sides…he stated every one would not be
acceptable in today’s standards. He asked what would be reasonable and suggested 50x15 and Staff
supported that. Mr. Stickney noted they have a valid purchase agreement with a client that has brought a
nice house plan together, and the property has an acceptable septic system, and a survey, and it is a great
lot. It will be a nice improvement for the area, but they are not asking for anything more than what is
acceptable to the neighbors to the north, and what is needed for this property. He said he can also talk
about the flag lot on the south, he knows those people, too, and they will probably never use a driveway,
it is a non-issue as it would be about a $200,000 driveway and tree removal…he said they enter the
property on Watertown Road.
Chair Ressler opened the public hearing at 7:14 p.m.
Chair Ressler closed the public hearing at 7:14 p.m.
Chair Ressler noted it is in a 5 acre ordinance and it is a 1.2 acre actual lot, there are no problems with
front and rear, and the sides both to the north and south are the issues. He said 50 feet is the ordinance,
they are proposing 15.5 and 18.2. Deliberation is whether or not that is okay and if that is in the spirit of
the neighborhood.
Mr. Stickney clarified they are proposing 15 on both sides; the existing plan shows a house that is 18.2
and 15.5. They are proposing that this be guided as a vacant lot so someone could buy it and the buyer is
proposing a house that fits like that.
Ms. Oakden said the application as presented is this, and they can only act as the volume and the structure
that is shown within those encroachments within the setbacks. They cannot set a new setback for this
specific property.
Mr. Stickney said the application was to create 15 foot side setbacks and that does not mean the new
owner should have to create a house that hits both sides of the setback. The new owner wants the
flexibility to put a house that fits in there. He said this makes the sale of the lot sellable.
Chair Ressler said the proposed survey would have needed to have the proposed house within that 15 feet
on both sides and it looks like the survey on record appears it is 18.2 on one side and 15.5 to the other.
Mr. Stickney said yes, that is where it sits on the lot, but it sits within the new approved 15 foot side
setbacks. He is just clarifying that.
Barnhart said they are kind of in a dicey situation because Staff grants a variance based on a proposal and
based on the practical difficulties that is proposed. They generally cannot apply practical difficulties on
spec, so that is why they have to link it to a plan, which is the plan in front of them. In the future,
assuming the Planning Commission approves this plan, this is the boundary and if there are some
deviations from that, it may require a variance depending on where those deviations are. At least there is
a starting point, but Staff can’t recommend approval of a variance on spec.
Mr. Stickney noted the owner of this plan and the buyer of the lots…that is their plan, and they are okay
with it where it sits. He said, let’s say they wanted to add a little deck or a stairway; 15 foot side setbacks
would be appropriate for that whole side of the street because all of them are encroaching on the front
setback and 2-3 of them are encroaching in some manner the 50 foot side setbacks.
Chair Ressler said what they have to do is to approve or deny the application as it is submitted and the
application that is submitted has a 15.5 foot to the north and 18.2 foot to the south. Any further
encroaching upon would probably bring them right back to the drawing board.
Mr. Stickney said he is fine with that, so is the new owner, and the family.
Dennis Krump, 25 Stubbs Bay Road, is the neighbor to the north and said as far as that 18-foot setback,
when he talked to the gentleman earlier with the 15- or 15.5-foot setback, he was assuming that would be
on both sides, north and south. From his understanding, the owner had agreed to use the 15 or 15.5 foot
and move the house to the south, so they would end up with 18 on the north and 15.5 on the south. That
is what he would like; there is no reason to have the house closer than it has to be. He agrees they need at
least a 15 foot setback, but he would much rather see the 15 on the south and the 18 on the north.
Chair Ressler stated that is good feedback and of course, the Commission must decide on what is in front
of them.
Mr. Krump said if the owner agrees to do that, are they starting over from scratch again, or like the last
person with the stairs and they could just remove one tread; can they do the same thing here.
Chair Ressler said if this is approved, then they would be limited to what the specs are of the proposed
survey. However, they could certainly flip it between now and Council with the same proposal and ask
for that amended version if they wanted to. If it gets to Council and this plan is approved and they wanted
to change the setbacks, it would be starting all over again with a new variance.
Mr. Krump asked what about like they did with the steps.
Chair Ressler replied they would deny it and said they have not gotten to that point, but if they approve or
deny it, the Applicant could come with an amended version to the Council that way. Using the steps as
an example, if the Commission approves the application as submitted and the application decided they
would like to change it the other way around, they could do that. If the Commission denied it…it would
be the same story.
Kirchner asked to clarify that Mr. Krump is the neighbor to the north with approximately 16 feet.
Mr. Krump answered in the affirmative.
Kirchner said if he understands correctly, as proposed with that 15.5 feet towards his lot line, Mr. Krump
is not really supportive of it, he would rather have the 18 feet on the north side. Kirchner asked if that is
correct.
Mr. Krump replied that is correct.
Erickson pointed out it makes a lot of sense to flip it the way Mr. Krump is suggesting because on the
south side is the public park with a big soccer field and no neighbors.
Deborah Krump, 25 Stubbs Bay Road, brought up the other road that nobody is using and said why can’t
they figure out from the people that own that property, if they can make that lot bigger and go more
toward the park to give the Krumps some space because this is really close. She said Mr. Krump has
maintained this property for 35 years for the Dunns and to turn around and have somebody sitting on their
deck with them is kind of tough. She said if the Applicant wanted to look at something like that, it would
be huge for the Krumps. She noted it is a crazy request, but she is going to request it.
Chair Ressler appreciates her going on the record and of course the public hearing has been closed, but
they can put that in to note because he thinks that is important to know. He said if Ms. Krump wanted to
be more formal, she could write a letter of support or what would be agreeable to them to put in front of
the Council when they entertain the application, as well.
Chair Ressler asked Ms. Oakden if it is correct that as applied, they have 15.5 foot setback to the north,
guided for 50 feet; 18.2 foot setback to the south, guided for 50 feet.
Ms. Oakden replied that is correct.
Chair Ressler noted that is as applied and is what the Commission needs to rule on today.
Ms. Oakden replied yes, they must review as the application sits today in front of them.
Libby said this could be one of their tougher ones in a while, but he welcomes a challenge. There aren’t
really too many options, but the idea of the fact that there is a plan, an active transactional motivation –
motivated buyer, motivated seller – a house plan that should be able to fit in to these setbacks…it prompts
him to be in favor of this. If the plan does not vary, and he does not think Mr. Stickney plans on a bait
and switch because he never has in the past. He would tend to be in favor of this and agree with the
recommendations of Staff.
Kirchner agrees, he was in support of it and believes it to be appropriate for the area, however, hearing the
discussion from the neighbors to the north and that the neighbors to the south could never build on that
portion of the flag lot, as they would be right back before the Commission for the same discussion. He
does not think the house is overbearing or that it is an unreasonable request. However, knowing that the
neighbors to the north are not supportive of it, he does not believe that he can approve it knowing that
there are other options on the table. He noted he is not here to redesign the plan or survey so he will leave
it at that.
Bollis is in favor of it, he thinks it is substantially similar to the other lot to the north. He is not sure what
else they could approve to be built on that lot. Obviously the proposed area, where it would fall under the
setbacks, cannot be done, so he thinks it is very consistent with the neighborhood. He does not think the
Commission can go above and beyond looking at other options as far as purchasing other peoples’
property to make it conforming; they just have to look at it how it is today.
Erickson is in favor of it, too, and would be in favor of approving the variance and perhaps they might
specify that one side yard could be not less than 15.5 feet and the other side yard could be not less than
18.2 feet. With the stipulation that the Commission will not specify which side yard is which and that can
be determined at the City Council meeting.
Gettman said they actually have to do that approval; it wouldn’t be that the Commission could give that
variance like the one applicant was suggesting. He is also confused as to why they are back to
readdressing the variance. He would suggest that they look at flipping the house 90 degrees; so the
elevation obviously is the issue but either way they will have to drop off. If they set it closer to that 16.5
foot narrow driveway that cannot be used for a driveway that would obviously give more space for the
other neighbors who are here testifying. As mentioned, they are not here to redesign anything but he
would be totally against this as proposed.
Libby knows the public hearing is closed but said as a point of information, he is curious about some of
the remarks that were made by the neighbor because the people have lived there for decades and their
information and experience of lifestyle living so close to the subject property. He would like to clarify
what the additional road is or the other property that was noted also by Bollis, and there is an eyewitness
neighbor that lives here and he can even see Mr. Stickney questioning the statement. Libby said he is not
questioning the validity of the statement, but he is curious as a point of information, with Chair Ressler’s
permission, to ask the neighbor if they could more clearly explain this unused road after decades of
maintaining the property. How could that possibly be a problem solver for this situation.
Chair Ressler asked to see an overhead to see if that gives some clarity.
Ms. Oakden said she thinks what is being referenced is the roughly 16 feet right here [noted onscreen]
and is connected to a parcel that is a flag-shaped lot. She is sure the intent was perhaps some sort of
driveway; it has never been approved and is not a right-of-way or dedicated outlot by any means. It is
private property.
Chair Ressler said to clarify for Mr. Libby, he thinks what the neighbors are referring to is, if they are
going to get tighter on one side than the other, why wouldn’t they go to the area that is not really being
used.
Kirchner noted that is his comment, he is not here to endorse trying to subdivide lots and things like that.
It was merely, if they can push the 18 feet to the north to give where there is an existing home a little
more space, and pinch a little bit on the south where there is arguably never anything going to be built on
a 16 foot flag. He said that would be something he would be more supportive of than as proposed here.
Libby said they really don’t know or understand what the ownership of this other portion is, if it is a City
easement or if it is privately owned by an adjoining property.
Gettman noted Staff has said it is privately owned.
Ms. Oakden said it is part of that parcel.
Libby said this again falls into that category that the Commission does not want to change the
applications but he is just bringing it up as a point of information or clarification. Perhaps for the
representative of the property owner, the developer, and the builder, acquisition and subdivision on
something like this to solve this kind of problem is very, very common. He has done it himself. To Mr.
Kirchner’s point, it is really just adjunct to his own, but it is simply a point of information, they cannot
direct in one way or the other. He is glad they had the neighbor here that could speak to it, and Mr.
Stickney here to hear it.
Chair Ressler does not see any reason why they could center or at the very least have equal distances
between the two lot lines, there is structure on one side and not on the other. He would love to see the
property centered or even if it was proposed to be inverted. He does not necessarily know that he would
be opposed to the application as proposed; he does not see any reason why, besides what has been
mentioned as far as one setback from the other. He noted they have approved these projects before, and
he generally follows Staff’s opinion on this one recommending approval, he definitely would recognize
the suggestion of giving more space and taking up some of the space from the north to the south as
constructive feedback that might be helpful for passing with the Council, if this were to pass. He is not
opposed to the application as submitted.
McCutcheon asked to confirm that deck to the north is 15 feet from the lot, as well.
Ms. Oakden clarified the neighbor right here is roughly 16 feet.
McCutcheon said to him, it is private property to the north and the south and you must be fair, so perhaps
they pick a minimum, so 16 feet from where the neighbor to the north is and 16 feet as the minimum
setback north and south. He knows they cannot redraw it, but what they’re really saying is the proposed
house envelope instead of 16.5 is 16. He said it seems silly to say, but just to be fair, as the neighbor to
the south has just as much right to say they wish it was 2-3 feet to the north.
Chair Ressler said perhaps this is an opportunity for the Commission to have a workshop discussion as to
how they should be handling these. Right now, he thinks the feedback from the City is that they want the
Commission to rule on what they have and provide feedback so it can be taken for review to the Council
and it does not get held up but they know exactly what they are ruling on. Based on that, Chair Ressler is
hearing some Commissioners are opposed to the application as submitted and must be mindful of what is
in front of them. There has been some good feedback regardless of the outcome as to what would be
agreeable.
McCutcheon said it would be good to have documented evidence of the neighbor to the south’s input on
this. It is a unique situation where it is a skinny lot and there are not a lot of options for the future
homeowner to have and the Commission is trying to avoid problems in the future. If they only have half
the equation it is tough. He asked if Staff went to the neighbors asking for input.
Ms. Oakden noted they mailed postings.
Mr. Stickney added two impacts. First, regarding the neighbor to the south with the flag lot, he sold a
relative of their property and the neighbor was thinking about selling. Mr. Stickney said what are they
ever going to do with that flag, and the neighbor responded it has always been there, it is solid trees right
to the soccer field. He told the neighbor they will never build a road on that, as it is a flag that is
environmentally nuts…he told them it would be $200,000 to correct the soils, remove all the trees, and
this plan right now fits on here really well. Moving it a foot and a half south, has an impact on trees.
This should be an approvable plan in most every possibility and he can’t see any reason it would not be
totally approvable. Given a variable, he likes some of the comments; let’s make it so they can come back
to the Council if they want it to center in there. He does not think the sellers will care, but the buyer
would probably be amenable to that and that would help everyone.
Chair Ressler asked for a motion one way or the other based on what is applied.
Libby moved, Erickson seconded, to approve LA20-000071, 15 Stubbs Bay Road North, Variance
as recommended by Staff. Ayes 4 (Bollis, Erickson, Libby, Ressler). Nays, 3 (Gettman, Kirchner,
McCutcheon).

LOT ANALYSIS WORKSHEET
Section 78-395 - Setbacks:
DISTRICT RR-1A Required Proposed Met/ Not Met
Front 100’/ **45’ per northern neighbor 50.3’ Met
Rear 100’ Roughly 360’ Met
Side (North) 50’ 15.5’ Not Met
Side (South) 50’ 18.2’ Not Met
**Front yard setback. For lots that are non-conforming with respect to area the minimum front
yard setback for the principal building, and accessory buildings less than 1,000 square feet, shall be
equal to the average depth of the existing front yards on the adjacent lots on each side of the non-
conforming lot fronting on the same street. However, the depth of such front yard shall not be less
than ten feet.
Section 78- 78-395- Lot Area/Width:
DISTRICT RR-1A Lot Area Lot Width
Required 217,800 s.f. (5 acres) 300’
Actual 53,206 s.f. (1.2 acre) 123.77’
Section 78-1403- Structural Building Coverage:
Total Lot Area Total Structural Coverage
53,206 s.f. (1.2 acre) Allowed: 10,628 s.f. (20%)
Proposed: 3,627 s.f. (6.82%)
Applicable Regulations:
Side Yard Setback (78-395)
The required side yard setback is 50’. The applicant is proposing a 15.5’ setback to the north
and 18.2’ setback to the south. The lot is 123.77’ feet wide and applying the 50’ setbacks on
either side would allow for a 23.77’ wide building envelope for a new home. The abutting
neighbor with a similar lot size maintains approximately a 16’ side yard setback, similar to the
applicant’s request.
Lot Area and Width: Lots of Record outside the Shoreland Overlay District (78-72)
B. (3) In R or RR districts not served by public sanitary sewer. A lot of record in any R or RR
district in the city not served by public sanitary sewer must meet the area and width
requirements of this chapter and shall not be utilized for single-family detached dwelling
purposes without council approval. Administrative approval may be granted for a lot of record
not meeting the lot area and width requirements if the planning director finds that the following
conditions are met:
a) The lot area and lot width each meet at least 50 percent of the district standard. Not
Met
b) Suitable primary and alternate septic sites are identified on the property and are
protected from future development by execution of a covenant. Not Met
c) All other zoning ordinance requirements must be met, including but not limited to
the following:
1. Setbacks. Not Met

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. The
applicant is proposing to construct a new single family home on a residential lot which
is consistent with the intent of the ordinance. The lot width and lot area variances are
consistent with the general intent of the Ordinance. The side yard setback variance
request is reasonable considering buildable area of the property.
2. The variance is consistent with the comprehensive plan. The variances resulting in a
permit for a new single family residence in a residential zone are consistent 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 applicant is proposing to use the property
in a reasonable manner with the construction of a single family home. There is
limited space to construct a conforming building on the site.
b. There are circumstances unique to the property not created by the landowner;
The plight of the property owner is due to the existing substandard lot area and
width, and
c. The variance will not alter the essential character of the locality. The character
of the neighborhood is not likely to be significantly altered by construction of
the residence.
Additionally City Code 78-123 provides additional parameters within which a variance may be
granted as follows:
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
LA20-000071
November 16, 2020
Page 4 of 5
located. This condition is not applicable, as a single family home is an allowed use in the
RR-1A 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 size and width of the lot within the RR-
1A zoning district is unique, and supports approval of the requested lot width, lot area
and setback variances.
9. The conditions do not apply generally to other land or structures in the district in which
the land is located. The size of the lot is unique within the existing 5-acre zoning district.
10. The granting of the application is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a
substantial property right of the applicant. The applicant stated this is true.
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 of
the requested variances would not impair health, safety, comfort or morals and would
be in keeping with the intent of the zoning code,
12. The granting of such variance will not merely serve as a convenience to the applicant, but
is necessary to alleviate demonstrable difficulty. The applicant has stated the narrow lot
results in setback challenges for construction of a single family home. The property is
unique in size for this zoning district.
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
To date, no public comments have been received. The applicant submitted a neighbor
acknowledgement signature as part of the application. Exhibit F
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
Planning Staff recommends approval of the lot area, lot width and side yard setback variances.

1. Purpose. This application is regarding an average lakeshore variance for an addition.
2. MN§15.99 Application Deadline. The application was received and was considered to be
complete on October 21, 2020. Therefore the 60-Day review period expires on December 20th.
3. Background/ Summary. The new owners of the home would like to construct an addition to the
home and add a new deck. The home addition will replace an existing deck, and the new deck
will be positioned to the north of the addition. The entire lake side of the home is lakeward of the
average lakeshore setback line,
limiting expansion opportunities. Due
to the configuration of the property
and the uniqueness of the neighboring
property with the cove inlet on the
north side of the subject, much of the
home is lakeward of the average
lakeshore setback line. An average
lakeshore setback variance is required.
At the location of the greatest
encroachment, the existing house is
approximately 50-feet lakeward of the
average lakeshore setback line. The
proposed 13-foot addition will extend
lakeward from the existing home. Due
to the home’s orientation the home
addition will not extend closer to the
lake than the existing home. The
bottom two stair treads of the deck
stair initially encroached just past the
existing pillars on the lake side. The
Planning Commission recommended
the steps be revised so not to extend past the pillars.
4. Planning Commission Vote and Comment. On November 16th, the Planning Commission held
a public hearing. They discussed the request and the encroachment of the deck stair. The
Commission voted 5 to 2 in favor of denial as proposed. The general consensus was supportive of
the average lakeshore setback variance for the addition and the deck. The Commission indicated
that the portion of the stair which extended past the most lakeward pillar on the existing home
was not approvable.
While technically a denial recommendation, Council should review the minutes for the details of
this discussion about the proposed plan which, now that it has been revised, appears to become
supportable by the Commission.

A RESOLUTION
APPROVING A VARIANCE FROM
MUNICIPAL ZONING CODE
SECTION 78-1279
FILE NO. LA20 -000070
WHEREAS, on October 21, 2020, Boyer Building Corporation (hereinafter the
“Applicant”) on behalf of Brian O’Connell and Lynne Rasmussen (hereinafter the “Owners”), applied
for a variance from the City Code for the property addressed 3145 North Shore Drive and legally
described as:
Tract B, RLS No. 1113, Hennepin County, Minnesota (hereinafter the “Property”);
WHEREAS, the Applicant has made application to the City of Orono for a variance
from Orono Municipal Zoning Code Section 78-1279 to allow construction of an addition and a
deck lakeward of the average lakeshore setback line; and
WHEREAS, on November 16, 2020, after published and mailed notice in accordance

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of Orono, Minnesota

following findings of fact concerning the Property:
CITY OF ORONO
RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL
NO. ________________________

FINDINGS OF FACT:
1. This application was reviewed as Zoning File #LA20-000070. 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-1B One Family Lakeshore Zoning District.
3. The Property contains 1.13 acres in area and has a defined lot width of 117 feet.
4. The Property is within Tier 1 and hardcover is limited to 25% according to the Stormwater
Quality Overlay District.
5. Applicant has applied for the following variance:
a. Average Lakeshore Setback Variance
6. 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 requested average lakeshore setback variance is in
harmony with the Ordinance as the adjacent neighbors’ views of the lake will not be
impacted by the improvements.
2. “Variances shall only be permitted . . . when the variances are consistent with the
comprehensive plan.” The variances resulting in a permit for construction of an addition to
an existing single family residence in a residential zone are consistent with the
Comprehensive Plan.
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:

RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL

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 improvements lakeward of the average
lakeshore setback appears to be reasonable; the unique lagoon shoreline, location
of the neighboring home, and home orientation separate the Property from the
adjacent neighbors.
b. The plight of the landowner is due to circumstances unique to his property not created
by the landowner.
The location of the existing home, the orientation and location of the neighboring
homes, and the character of the lake shoreline with the lagoon on the north are
conditions not created by the landowner;
c. The variance, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the locality.”
It does not appear that the requested average lakeshore setback variance to
permit an addition to the home will adversely impact views of the lake currently
enjoyed by the adjacent property owners or alter the character of the locality.
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 an addition to a residence is an allowed use
in the LR-1B 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 location of the existing home, the
orientation and location of the neighboring homes, the lagoon shoreline, and the character
CITY OF ORONO
RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL
NO. ________________________

of the neighborhood are unique conditions affecting the Property and the immediately
adjoining properties.
9. “The conditions do not apply generally to other land or structures in the district in which the
land is located.” The location of the existing home, the orientation and location of the
neighboring homes, the lagoon shoreline, and the character of the neighborhood are unique
conditions affecting the Property and the immediately adjoining properties.
10. “The granting of the application is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a
substantial property right of the applicant.” The applicant states that the variance is
necessary to preserve their right to improve their home and property.
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
requested variance will not adversely impact health, safety, comfort, or morals; nor will it be
contrary to the intent of the Code.
12. “The granting of such variance will not merely serve as a convenience to the applicant, but
is necessary to alleviate demonstrable difficulty.” The application of the average lakeshore
setback on the Property severely limits the options for expanding and/or improving the
home; the granting of the requested variance is necessary to alleviate a practical difficulty
resulting from the location of the existing home in relation to the neighboring home to the
north, the orientation of the neighboring homes, and the character of the lagoon lakeshore
affecting the Property and the property to the north.
CONCLUSIONS, ORDER AND CONDITIONS:
Based upon one or more of the above findings, the Orono City Council hereby grants a
variance to Orono Municipal Zoning Code Section 78-1279 to allow construction of an addition
and a deck on the lake side of the home, lakeward of the average lakeshore setback, subject to
the following conditions:
1. Council approval is based on the entire record, above Findings.
2. The approved project shall conform to the survey dated November 23, 2020, and building
plans submitted by the Applicant and annotated by City 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.

2. LA20-000070 BOYER BUILDING CORP., 3145 NORTH SHORE DRIVE,
VARIANCE. STAFF: MELANIE CURTIS
Brian O’Connell, Applicant, was present.
Staff presented a summary of packet information. Ms. Curtis noted due to the unique nature of the lagoon
shoreline pushing the northern neighbors’ home further from the lake than the other neighbors on the
shoreline, there are practical difficulties affecting this property. She noted Exhibit G in the packet is a
supportive letter from the neighbor to the north. Staff recommends approval of the requested variance
based on the support and configuration.
Kirchner asked regarding a photo onscreen that shows the survey and proposed addition; Ms. Curtis had
mentioned none of the proposed addition will go further lakeward than the existing home and asked if that
is a staircase shown.
Ms. Curtis said yes, that is a stairwell.
Kirchner asked how much farther than the front of the house that will extend.
Ms. Curtis said she can measure it and get back to him.
James McNeal, Architecture and Design, IMS Building 275 Market Street, Minneapolis, noted he worked
on this house between 12-15 years ago and had to go through a variance process; having the lagoon is a
problem. If one imagines how people perceive things, there is an illusion and they connect the dots. If
one was on a boat in Lake Minnetonka looking at this property, they would look at the houses and expect
to see them all kind of lined up. All of a sudden there is this lagoon with a narrow channel that takes one
into the lagoon and he stated they are not doing anything that is opposing that or losing any design intent
for the setbacks and sightlines. The tree line from the house to the right is already blocking that particular
person’s view and that person has already approved this design and does not feel like it affects. Mr.
McNeal thinks it is a reasonable thing to ask as long as they stay within the setback that is there, they
should be able to change a deck to a screen porch, or put a roof over it, or make it a room or dining room
as the client wants to do. He thinks this is a reasonable request and they are trying to do their best to
maintain the intent of the City’s laws.
Gettman asked regarding the staircase; he appreciates Mr. McNeal’s candor that they are trying to keep
within the same footprint but how did the staircase end up going outside of that.
Mr. McNeal replied mostly because the stairs are at a sharp angle and it immediately goes down. The
grade is raised up there to begin with, so sightline-wise, it really is an insignificant portion. For all
practical purposes, they do not need the stairs, but it is an ideal.
Gettman asked if there were stairs there before.

Chair Ressler asked Ms. Curtis on slide 17 of the combined file it shows the setback line, taking into
consideration the lagoon and his question is if that lagoon was not there, the average lakeshore setback
would be more intensified so the lagoon is actually improving the situation or is he reading it wrong.
Ms. Curtis replied if the lagoon was not there, the house would likely be in this area [noted onscreen], as
they would not build back here [noted onscreen] as a choice.
Kirchner asked on the survey, there is a curved-dashed line running under the stairs and asked what that
is.
Ms. Curtis asked Mr. McNeal if that is landscaping.
Mr. McNeal answered it is a grading line.
Kirchner noted the stairs do appear to extend forward lakeward of the home and that would be the only
concern he has with this that they would be allowing the stairs to go further lakeward and worsening the
situation from what it already is. Based on the stairs he would not support it, but other than that he is
generally supportive of it.
Chair Ressler said the only concern he has is with the lagoon there the neighboring property is rather
limited for its view. It certainly is helpful that the neighbor is supportive of it and he asked if 3135 North
Shore Drive is the letter of support.
Ms. Curtis replied that is true.
Chair Ressler noted that certainly helps. Average lakeshore setback versus lake yard setback versus side
setback is one that the Planning Commission has been generally agreeable with in the past. In situations
like this it is difficult to have everything fit into the boxes with the undulating shorelines. Those are the
only concerns he has.
McCutcheon said they are so experienced and see it so many times, they only have two angles they can go
for. He agrees the addition is not a big deal; for him, the deal-breaker is the stairs and noted they almost
look bigger than 10 feet. Not that it is a lot of distance, but when it gets closer to the lake that is when
they tend to put the block up. He would be in favor if they can get those stairs away from the lake in
some way.
Ms. Curtis noted a pillar onscreen.
McCutcheon asked if they could do an L stair design to keep it away from the lake a bit. He noted this
Commission is famous for being sticklers on getting close to the lake.
Chair Ressler noted the homeowner may have something to say.
Brian O’Connell, homeowner at 3145 North Shore Drive, noted he would certainly prefer to have a
straight-off stair because it is more visually appealing from the lake. He thinks they can work with the
builder and the architect to potentially grade that ground so they end it one stair higher. Right now they
are literally one foot beyond the existing boundary of the house; one could argue that the decorative
elements of the roof go beyond that on the top anyway, but he would certainly prefer that the stair be

straight as it looks better from the lake than an angled stair. However, there could be some things they
could do with the grading of that land to make the second stair become the bottom stair.
Gettman clarified the concern of the Commissioners and said it is not that the stairs are meeting the same
threshold as the rest of the house; it is the extending beyond what currently exists.
Mr. O’Connell said his contention is that his house has a certain distance from the lake, the farthest
structure to the lake as it exists; his asked if someone who owns an irregularly shaped house versus a
rectangular house, is he allowed to build into the rectangle area.
Gettman noted that is what they suggested they would not support, the squaring off to say they will meet
the farthest point. It is all the rest of that being squared off which ends up being a further intrusion of that
protected area. He said the old stairs are dotted on a drawing…
Mr. O’Connell said where it says the proposed addition onscreen, that is currently the deck and the new
deck will go where the stairs are right now, but it will not be as big as the old deck by design. When they
have a proper rise and run of the stairs coming down, they end where they end.
Gettman stated it is the lower level floor plan and asked Ms. Curtis to show it onscreen. He noted all of
those steps that are going straight toward the lake are farther out than the existing structure in that
location; it is not that the Applicant is squaring it off, the concern that the other Commissioners have
voiced and he shares, is that in that one corner, they are now extending it an additional 13 feet, roughly.
Mr. O’Connell said that is correct and he hears what they are saying. He is also going one tread further
than the columns of his house and noted he is limited to the right because of the lagoon setback and
cannot have stairs over there. The only place to put a stair on the deck is down the way shown onscreen.
He could have a deck with no stairs but he’d strongly prefer not to do that.
Mr. McNeal said having the straight stairs like that is less obtrusive to the view from Lake Minnetonka
because people are not looking at railings, but rather a simple cascading set of steps. Visually he thinks it
works and as the owner said, they are not going out beyond the building and if one were to draw a line
from the back of the house one would assume it would be straight rather than jog. He understands the
Commissioners are going by rules, but the rules are set because of the inconvenience and that is what they
are talking about.
Chair Ressler said the rules are partially to protect the enjoyment of the neighboring properties and that is
why it is nice to have the supporting letter from the neighbors. However, that cannot be the
Commissioners’ entire decision one way or the other but it does not hurt.
Mr. O’Connell agrees it is unique with this lagoon noted the neighbors at 3135 - from their house to the
water of the lagoon - is a lot shorter distance than from the back of his house to the shore on Lake
Minnetonka. If the lagoon was not there, the red line onscreen could potentially move toward the corner
of that house and his entire house would be behind it and there would not be a challenge. This lagoon
creates a challenge and he is trying to be as respectful as he can with the intent and agrees with the intent
as a lakeshore homeowner. However, that lagoon and with the house at 3135 so close to the water, it
poses some challenges.
MINUTES OF THE
ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION

_____________________________________________________________________________________
Chair Ressler asked if there were any other comments from Commissioners. He stated he has heard the
concerns with the stairs, he has heard the Applicant state that if there is difficulty approving the stairway,
perhaps he would consider re-grading which would be part of the application, as well. What they need to
decide tonight is if they can approve as applied and if it’s approved it will go to City Council to approve.
If it is denied, they will have to give feedback as to why it is denied so perhaps it can go to Council with
the feedback on what would be agreeable.
John Boyer, the builder, wants to confirm and ask that stairways are not able to encroach into the setback.
Ms. Curtis replied the deck stairway is part of the deck itself which is required to meet the setback. When
looking at average lakeshore setback, the stairs are obviously coming down from an upper deck; when
they allow certain elements to be within the average lakeshore setback, 42 inches in height is the limit in
that area. Obviously the part of the deck coming down does hit that point at one of the risers and is not
over that point anymore, but it still needs to meet the setback as far as the code is applied.
Chair Ressler noted this is not a simple application, he welcomes further discussion and feedback,
because there are a lot of complexities with shoreline, the lagoon backing in, and he thinks they should
also take into consideration Staff recommendation for approval.
Bollis said in general he is in favor of it. He thinks the solution of adjusting the grading so the bottom
stair does not protrude past the point that the house already encroaches on the lake, he would be fine with.
He would say the Commission deny this with support for that change.
Kirchner clarified his earlier point that his concern is that last stair tread, which would be in line with
Bollis’ recommendation for the grading to improve that. He asked Gettman if he is more concerned with
a lot of what would be filling in that rectangular space where the dotted line is that shows the existing
staircase at an angle.
Gettman said that is what prompted his concern, but he would be okay having it stop where the pillar
stops. It is back to the inching closer and closer to that lakeshore; with the average lakeshore setback it
makes it that much more difficult and prejudicial to the homeowner, but unfortunately that is what the
Commission has been consistently dealing with. He would be supportive of it going up to but not
extending beyond the pillar.
Kirchner moved, Gettman seconded, to deny LA20-000070, 3145 North Shore Drive, Variance as
proposed with a recommendation that the stairs extending beyond the front pillar be evaluated by
the architect, homeowner, and builder for further consideration.
Chair Ressler noted the motion is to deny and there was additional discussion that was supportive of the
application as applied with the exception that Kirchner would like to see the stairs end no further beyond
the pillar most lakeward. He added that he, too, is in favor of that. Of course, they do not want to amend
an application by any means as that is difficult to do on the fly. However, he would be in support of that
modification if that is agreeable to the Applicant before it gets to the Council.
Mr. O’Connell asked process-wise, if they make that modification, they do not need to come back
through this process again.

Chair Ressler replied yes and that is why they would not table it because if they tabled, then Mr.
O’Connell would have to come back.
Mr. O’Connell said they have work to do between now and when the Council sees it.
Chair Ressler said yes, and that allows the Applicant to continue on with the process.
Erickson would not support denial at this time, he thinks this discussion relevant to this highly unique
property with the lagoon and channel leads them to have a neighbor with an extreme setback and it is rare
that they get that type of setback. He stated there is a very high uniqueness factor in this location which
supports the practical difficulty. Erickson thinks the whole discussion points out the challenge they have
in regulating average setback and they have had discussions on it before; last year they talked about
changing the formula. In spite of all that, they still have a fair number of variance requests, and initially
the Commission was tasked with trying to cut down on variance requests. The reason they have this
problem as a City is that the shoreline is highly irregular in many places and the average setbacks works
easy-peasy as long as there is a straight piece of shoreline. However, the more nature deviates from that,
the more challenging it is for the Commission to fairly regulate what is built next to it. He thinks this is a
highly unique situation where the neighbor is not complaining and a highly reputable builder who has
been in this area for many decades, as well. For those reasons he would support as approval and if the
motion remains as denial he will vote against that.
Libby would tend to concur with Erickson, not to read anything additional into the narrative from the
Staff, but he thinks the Staff looked at this from a perspective. While he strongly supports the uniformity
of the City’s ordinance and the use of the average lakeshore setback as a uniform denominator of how the
Commission makes these decisions, he thinks that even though the lagoon is contiguous and is a portion
of the lakeshore, he agrees with Erickson that the unique circumstances that the lagoon is separate from
the primary lakeshore itself warranted the decision of the Staff to approve this. He would tend to support
the Staff’s decision before he would support any other Commissioner’s recommendations.
Chair Ressler clarified to Mr. O’Connell that he can take these plans to the City Council as they are
regardless of whether the Planning Commission approves or denies. Ms. Curtis can help explain those
options, as well. If there is a friendly amendment they wanted to make, they could have both sets of plans
ready for that modification if it so goes that direction. He does not want to take public time talking about
those options but at least wanted to clarify and simplify. He appreciates the comments made here and
thinks the Staff recommendation has some weight to it, as well. He thinks the friendly amendment to
make sure that the stair tread does not go further encroaching upon structure that is existing to the
lakeshore seems agreeable to the Applicant, and seems agreeable to the spirit of what the rule is in place
for. He thinks they are accommodating by allowing additional structure, just not going further than the
structure that is here. He appreciates that going on the record for feedback to the Council.
Ms. Curtis had a point of clarification. She said that the motion is to deny as proposed, but for the one or
two stair treads, is the Commission generally speaking of an approval. She wants to make sure the
Applicant understands that it is the stairs that encroach past that pillar that the Commission is not
approving, but the rest is agreeable.
Kirchner clarified on that, yes, his concern is essentially that final stair tread that appears to extend
beyond. His motion for denial is a direct result of the one or two stair treads. Aside from that, in his
MINUTES OF THE
ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION
Monday, November 16, 2020

motion, he is overall supportive and would recommend approval if those stairs do not extend beyond the
furthest lakeward portion of the home.
Erickson continued his discussion and said he is uncomfortable in principle of generally denying a
proposal that they all agree they are mostly in favor of. That does not seem transparent to him, and seems
more manipulative. He would be much more comfortable with a motion to approve and then if they want
to add conditions to the approval, he would be open to that.
Kirchner asked how approving and adding conditions is any different than a denial and adding a
recommendation to that. He said it seems just as manipulative to use words in that manner.
Chair Ressler noted he thinks they have gone down a rabbit hole before, because the Commissioners are
not here to change the application on the fly, rather they must rule on what they have in front of them
today. He thinks the comments and feedback are helpful.
Mr. O’Connell said as a homeowner in this process, the optics appear to the homeowners as more positive
to have an approval with conditions than a denial. They could be two different means to the same end,
but optically, the Council seems more amenable saying you can do this but you have to fix this one thing,
versus you can’t do this until you fix this one thing.
Chair Ressler does not entirely disagree with Mr. O’Connell, the Commission has been given some
direction in the past – and it is nice to have the Mayor in the room – because he is going to lead the next
meeting, so he is definitely hearing the feedback. The Commission has had feedback in the past that
redesigning applications that are not in front of them become very difficult as far as what the
recommendation is. This is very cut and dry; it is going on the record as to what they would be agreeable
to and if this motion carries to deny, it is essentially doing it the same way, it is allowing Mr. O’Connell
to take that feedback and propose it as that feedback into the Council.

3145 North Shore Drive
Variance
Public Hearing
Background
The new owners of the home would like to construct an addition to the home and add a new deck.
The home addition will replace an existing deck, and the new deck will be positioned to the north
of the addition. Due to the configuration of the property and the uniqueness of the neighboring
property with the cove inlet on the north side of the subject property, much of the home is
lakeward of the average lakeshore setback line. An average lakeshore setback variance is required.
Practical Difficulties Analysis
Applicant Submittal Information: The
applicant has identified the existing
home’s footprint, location of the
neighboring home, and the exaggerated
average lakeshore setback as practical
difficulties supporting the requested
variance. 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:
Regarding practical difficulty, Staff finds
that due to the unique nature of the
lagoon shoreline which pushes the
northern neighbor’s home away from the
main shoreline of the lake there are
practical difficulties affecting this
property.
Application Summary: The applicant is requesting approval of an average lakeshore setback
variance for a home addition.
Staff Recommendation: Planning Department Staff recommends approval.

Average Lakeshore Setback Variance (Section 78-1279)
The average lakeshore setback line divides the owners’ house in half. The entire lake side of the
home is lakeward of the average lakeshore setback line, limiting improvement or expansion
opportunities. At the location of the greatest encroachment, the existing house is approximately
50-feet lakeward of the average lakeshore setback line. The proposed 13-foot addition will extend
lakeward from the existing home. However, due to the home’s orientation the addition will not
extend closer to the lake than the existing home.

The applicant’s proposed additions will not encroach into the 75-foot setback, and will be
conforming with respect to side yard setback, and hardcover and structural coverage limitations.
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. The
requested average lakeshore setback variance is in harmony with the Ordinance as the
adjacent neighbors’ views of the lake will not be impacted by the improvements.
2. The variance is consistent with the comprehensive plan. The variances resulting in a permit
for construction of an addition to an existing single family residence in a residential zone
are consistent 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
improvements lakeward of the average lakeshore setback appears to be
reasonable; the unique lagoon shoreline, location of the neighboring home, and
home orientation separate the Property from the adjacent neighbors.
b. There are circumstances unique to the property not created by the landowner; The
location of the existing home, the orientation and location of the neighboring
homes, and the character of the lake shoreline with the lagoon on the north are
conditions not created by the landowner; and
c. The variance will not alter the essential character of the locality. It does not appear
that the requested average lakeshore setback variance to permit an addition to
the home will adversely impact views of the lake currently enjoyed by the adjacent
property owners or alter the character of the locality.
Additionally City Code 78-123 provides additional parameters within which a variance may be
granted as follows:
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
FILE # LA20-000070

Page 4 of 5
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 an addition to the home is an allowed use in
the LR-1B 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 location of the existing home, the
orientation and location of the neighboring homes, the lagoon shoreline, and the character
of the neighborhood are unique conditions affecting the subject Property and the
immediately adjoining properties.
9. The conditions do not apply generally to other land or structures in the district in which the
land is located. The location of the existing home, the orientation and location of the
neighboring home, and the lagoon shoreline are unique conditions affecting the subject
Property.
10. The granting of the application is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a
substantial property right of the applicant. The applicant states that the variance is
necessary to preserve their right to improve their home and property.
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
requested variance will not adversely impact health, safety, comfort, or morals; nor will it
be contrary to the intent of the Code.
12. The granting of such variance will not merely serve as a convenience to the applicant, but is
necessary to alleviate demonstrable difficulty. The application of the average lakeshore
setback on this property severely limits the options for expanding and/or improving the
home; the granting of the requested variance is necessary to alleviate a practical difficulty
resulting from the location of the existing home in relation to the neighboring home to the
north, the orientation of the neighboring homes, and the character of the lagoon lakeshore
affecting the subject property and the property to the north.
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
A supportive email was submitted by the neighbor at 3135 North Shore Drive who is the most
impacted by the proposed addition. This comment is attached as Exhibit G.
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)?

1. Purpose. To authorize pursuing civil prosecution for zoning code violations at 3895 North
Shore Drive.
2. Background. The City has received a number of complaints regarding the condition of the
property at 3895 North Shore Drive. Attempts to correct the issue last fall, spring, and summer
with the previous owner was slow, and while some progress was made, the issue was forwarded
to the prosecuting attorney for criminal prosecution. Late this summer, the bank took ownership
of the property, requiring a formal notice of violation being sent to the bank, and a ‘re-start’ of the
process. No reply was received. The case was re-referred to the prosecuting attorney.
Reviewing the case, it is the opinion of the prosecuting attorney that the Court may not require
correction of the issue, even if prosecuted criminally. Further, as a corporate entity, very little
can be done to a corporate entity for failing to show up for future court hearings such as issuing a
bench warrant.
Staff requests authorization to forward this issue to the City Attorney for possible civil
enforcement, with the goal that the Court compel clean up, or allow the city to remediate the
issues. If authorized, the City Attorney will review the case and seek Council authorization.
3. Staff Recommendation. Staff recommends the Council direct staff to forward the issue to the
City Attorney.

AGENDA ITEM
Prepared By: J. Barnhart Reviewed By: DJR Approved By: DJR
1. Purpose. To consider authorizing a text amendment that regulates Special Lot Combinations.
2. Background. Special Lot Combinations are agreements between the City and a property owner,
where the city agrees to treat two or more lots as one lot (in lieu of formal combination) and the
property owner agrees to certain restrictions. In the past, the City has entered into Special Lot
Combination agreements with property owners under a few different scenarios, throughout the
city.
The only reference in the city code of Special Lot Combinations is in the RS zoning district, to
combine lots separated by ROW to get to the 5 acre minimum.
The most common examples where the city has agreed to a Special Lot Combination include: an
individual owns properties, wishing to develop (often a driveway or accessory building), which
are separated by a roadway and the County declines combining the two properties into one PID;
or an individual who owns multiple properties also wants to construct an improvement on a
vacant property which abuts the property with the home (not separated by ROW), such as a
driveway or accessory building. By this agreement, the properties are treated and sold as one until
such time both parties agree to extinguish the agreement.
City Staff recently received two inquiries to complete a special lot combination not in the RS
zoning district. Before moving forward on the recent requests, Staff is requesting direction from
the Council. If the Council supports the policy of allowing special lot combinations outside of the
RS zoning district, staff recommends the Council amend the code to establish standards or
conditions as to when such an agreement is appropriate.
3. Staff Recommendation. Staff recommends the Council direct staff to initiate a text amendment
providing standards for Special Lot Combination Agreements.
COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED
Council should consider providing parameters for special lot combination agreements and direct staff to
initiate a text amendment.
