13. LAKE MINNETONKA CONSERVATION DISTRICT (LMCD) UPDATE – RICHIE
ANDERSON
Richie Anderson gave a presentation and stated he is the treasurer of the LMCD and chair of the Finance
Committee. He noted they used to charge the AIS levy (Aquatic Invasive Species) and nothing had been
spent so they put that line item at zero; therefore, $11,500 will be saved in 2022. He spoke about the 2023
budget and stated they worked from the bottom up and found an additional $7,271 in savings for the City
of Orono. The strategic goal of finance is to fund reserves of 30-50% which is recommended by the
auditor. He noted the Committee came in at 35% and to distribute the excess over 5 years. Mr. Anderson
spoke about milfoil treatment in Crystal Bay, the LID (Lake Improvement District), weed eradication, and
a listening session held regarding wake boating. Mr. Anderson stated the Council knows how he feels
about the issue of wake boating and if the wake ban was passed it would affect 5 out of 5 marinas in
Orono.
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT REPORT
14. LA22-000027 – AMY SWANSON, 4025 WATERTOWN ROAD, SKETCH PLAN
Brian and Amy Swanson, Applicants, were present.
City Planner Curtis gave a presentation on the item, noting the goal tonight is to provide non-binding
feedback on the Applicant’s proposed sketch plan for a front lot/back lot subdivision. The property has
approximately 13 acres in area and 270 feet in width at Watertown Road, based on Hennepin County
information. The property is in the RR-1A zoning district which requires a minimum of 5 acres and 300
feet in width. According to Hennepin County’s natural resource map there appear to be wetlands on the
property. The property is outside the City sewer and water areas and in areas not served by sanitary sewer.
Each newly created lot must meet the total minimum acreage requirement and can contain as little as two
acres of dry contiguous buildable land for a subdivision. The Applicants are proposing to split the current
parcel into two lots with an existing home on one front lot and a back lot configuration. The front lot
would front on Watertown Road. The back lot would have street access from a shared driveway
established in a 30-foot wide outlot. The back lot is required to meet 150% lot area standards which
would require 7.5 total acres. Each lot would be required to provide its own septic and well. Ms. Curtis
noted the Applicant’s proposal to create a substandard front lot would require lot area and lot width
variances. On June 21, 2022 the Planning Commission discussed the Applicant’s sketch plan. No public
hearing was held for this item. The members of the Commission were in agreement with staff that the
project does not conform to the zoning standards. The Commissioners noted that they could not support
variances. Staff does not support the subdivision as non-conforming lots would be created which would
be inconsistent with the zoning code and the comprehensive plan.
Brian Swanson stated in the current market with lack of inventory and many friends and family who have
been looking for buildable lots, he thought with his 13 acres he would start the process to see if it is even
a possibility to split the lot. He shared about the property noting the first section, a fenced area around the
house, trees beyond, and stated they have received a verbal confirmation that there are two septic
locations available on the front lot and an alternate section on the other lot. He shared about a natural
creek running thought the property that is a natural dividing line.
Mayor Walsh noted the City is pro-development, however they do not create non-conforming lots. He
shared if the Applicant creates a conforming lot, the City Council would be all-in.

Crosby noted it is not a practical difficulty. If the Applicant can create two conforming lots it would be
okay.
Johnson noted another way to get more use out of the land is to put in a guest house. He checked with Ms.
Curtis on whether that is an option.
Ms. Curtis replied that is true.
Mayor Walsh stated the Review Committee will be looking at proposed ordinance and Code changes to
the guest houses. Right now one cannot use a guest house for a dwelling but they will be looking at
certain zoning districts or certain amount of land one may be able to allow a dwelling for family
members. He noted they do not want people renting them out but if people have elderly parents or young
people coming home from college it might make sense.
15. LA22-000029 – JOHN PETERSON, 2880 FOX STREET, VARIANCE
John Peterson, Applicant, was present.
Ms. Curtis gave a summary presentation on the item, noting this application is regarding a height variance
for an accessory building on a 3+ acre property. City Code limits maximum height for all buildings at 30
feet and further stipulates that accessory buildings cannot exceed the height of the home on the property.
Mr. Peterson applied for a building permit to construct a pole building on his 3.17 acre property with a
proposed peak height of approximately 17 feet (defined height is 15 feet). The existing home is a one-
story walkout rambler with a peak height of approximately 16 feet (defined height is estimated to be 12
feet). A permit could not be issued and the Applicant has requested a height variance. Ms. Curtis said
although the pole building will be well below the permitted 30 foot defined height limit and will be
located behind the home on grade approximately 10 feet lower than the grade of the home, its height is
still limited by the height of the home itself. According to the owner, reducing its height to conform
significantly reduces its functionality for the planned use. In June the Planning Commission held a public
hearing and speculated about the intent for the additional accessory building height limitation. They
suggested the City Council consider a text amendment regarding this provision and voted 6 to 0 to deny
the motion due to lack of practical difficulty. Staff recommends denial of the variance request. However,
Staff concurs with the Planning Commission’s recommendation that Council consider initiating a text
amendment process to remove or modify this restriction from this zoning district.
Mr. Peterson showed photos of the property showing the downward slope of the proposed pole barn. He
noted the height of the building is related to overhead venting for dust collection and woodworking, or
possibly a car lift. He noted the house is a walkout rambler and on the back side the home is actually two
stories but due to the way defined height is calculated it does not increase the height at all.
Crosby asked how tall the front of the house is.
Mr. Peterson replied it is about 15.5 feet and the rear is approximately 22-25 feet.
Crosby clarified the Applicant is looking to make the accessory building 17 feet in height.
Mr. Peterson noted 17 is the peak height but defined height would be 15 feet and the defined height of the
house is about 12.5 feet.

Mayor Walsh noted it is not a practical difficulty so the City cannot give a variance for that. However, the
good news is that this is a good thing to bring to the Code Review Committee which Mayor Walsh and
Johnson are on. The goal of the committee is to look at things such as this; when someone has bigger
acreage, if the Code Committee made a change Mr. Peterson would not even have to come back to the
City as long as the proposed design meets the setbacks. He noted right now they would deny the variance
but would recommend Mr. Peterson bring the issue to the Code Review Committee to be looked at.
Seals moved, Johnson seconded, to deny LA22-000029, 2880 Fox Street, Variance. VOTE: Ayes 4,
Nays 0.
The City Council gave guidance to recommend the Code Review Committee review this item.
PUBLIC COMMENTS
Crosby asked to add one thing to the public comment time: he asked that public comments be made in a
respectful manner. He clarified they should be respectful to oneself, respectful to the Council, and
respectful to the citizens of Orono. He thanked the public and noted the City Council welcomes
comments.
Brad Erickson, 2485 Independence Road, Independence, has had a business in Orono for quite a few
years. He was present 2 weeks ago and personally delivered a thumb drive to City Administrator Edwards
with a couple of videos from this Mayor. He is not sure if everyone has had a chance to view these
videos. Suffice it to say, he is present tonight to ask the City Council for help. They need to move forward
with a resolution of censure for this Mayor. In 45 years, Mr. Erickson has never, ever, been more serious
about anything. He noted he has been sick to his stomach for three months because of this, because he
thought they were done. Mr. Erickson was hoping Mr. Printup would be present tonight as he has been
helpful, and Mr. Edwards has been helpful, as well. Mr. Erickson does not do politics, the City Council
knows what he does, and he asked to quit acting like they do not know each other because he expects they
will get to know each other a whole lot better in the next couple of weeks. Mr. Erickson’s attorney is on
vacation this week and Mr. Erickson is asking the City to have a vote on this, stating the material coming
out of this office in this City is unacceptable and cannot be permitted to continue. However they need to
do this, whether through attorneys or making a motion to put this on the next agenda.
Eric Vogstrom, 2710 Pence Lane, commented on the wake board surfing issue, noting he has a wake boat
and his kids really enjoy it and he hopes the Council can support the residents.
Barbara Peterson, 1261 Arbor Street, is a former Orono Park Commission member and former City
Council member, as well as a four term Mayor and sat in the seat where Mr. Walsh sits. Having sat in that
chair for years she was thoroughly embarrassed to witness and watch the video of the last City Council
meeting. She noted Mayor Walsh has a motto in the newsletter every quarter which states “my motto is
citizens first and that will never change.” Ms. Peterson thinks Mr. Walsh probably wants to remove that
from his newsletter. The fact that Mayor Walsh referred to two former mayors (one from Orono and one
from Long Lake) as clowns and then very disrespectfully put a newspaper in front of his face while one of
them was speaking is totally unacceptable. Mayor Walsh should care more about the job he is doing for
the residents in this City than his own ego.

Mayor Walsh thinks Ms. Peterson should be more respectful and the people that come up to the podium
should be more respectful. He asked Ms. Peterson if she knows the people that come up to the podium
have sued for defamation because they made things up about him and they yell at the City Council?
Ms. Peterson replied this is her time for public comments, Mr. Mayor, and she is only referring to him as
Mr. Mayor because she respects the office, not him. She continued saying the fire department has become
an issue and when the department was moved Ms. Peterson was involved in that and she would like to
volunteer to help with those negotiations. When it happened years ago both sides had to give and take, she
thinks it may be worthwhile for another side to be put into the mix to come to a resolution. She has
received comments and phone calls about the issue and thinks Orono can do better than this, which is why
she would like to volunteer her time to help with it. She said this was her time to speak and she asked the
Mayor respectfully that in the future he will not interrupt the residents when they come to speak before
him.
FINANCE DIRECTOR REPORT
Finance Director Olson gave a presentation on the building permit revenue, noting June was a very good
month with $95,500 in building permit revenue. They are now ahead of the budget at 56%. He has been
trying to figure out what interest rates will do and he is hearing they will continue to rise but not quite as
far as it had been predicted.
CITY ATTORNEY REPORT
Attorney Mattick provided the Council with a written update on some litigation they are handling and if
there are questions they can continue in a closed session at the next meeting. In addition, he and Mr.
Edwards are working on renegotiating the collective bargaining agreements and will present counter -
offers the following day to the four groups.
CITY ADMINISTRATOR/ENGINEER REPORT
Edwards had nothing to report.
MAYOR/COUNCIL REPORT
Crosby noted there has been a lot of turbulence at the last couple of meetings. He thinks the important
thing to recognize is that the citizens address the City Council in a respectful manner, not to interrupt,
respect the people in the gallery, and he noted they can agree to disagree but attacking members of the
Council or the Mayor is not warranted. If people can do it in a constructive manner and have a
disagreement or issue they would like to discuss, that is what the time is for. However to attack so meone
in a personal manner is really beneath people and embarrassing to themselves. For past Mayors to come
up and explain how disruptive it is that the Mayor has chatted back…Crosby does not think anyone has
had to sit in that spot and take that on a constant basis. He stated they are all better than that, they are
adults, and they know how to talk to each other in a respectful manner. The City Council Chambers is still
a sacred area to the City of Orono so they all need to respect it. Crosby stated people do not have to vote
for the Mayor again, but they should respect the office, the Chambers, and the other citizens of Orono that
are here.

AGENDA ITEM
Prepared By: RJO Reviewed By: A. Carlson Approved By:
1. Purpose. The purpose of this action item is to approve the City’s 2022 Pay Equity Report.
2. Background. Every three years the City is required to submit a Pay Equity Report to the State
Department of Employee Relations (DOER) to demonstrate compliance with the requirements of the
State Pay Equity Act. The Pay Equity Act requires that reasonable pay relationships be maintained
between job classes regardless of the gender of the incumbents of those job classes. The City’s Pay
Equity Report is attached.
Minnesota Management and Budget requires the Pay Equity Implementation Report to be submitted
electronically using their pay equity software. The software also computes compliance data based on
information entered by the local jurisdiction. Based on the State’s criteria and reports generated by the
pay equity software, it appears the City is in compliance with the requirements of the Pay Equity Act.
After formal review of the Pay Equity Implementation Report, the city will receive a notice of
compliance.
3. Cost. There is no cost associated with this action.
4. Staff Recommendation. Staff recommends approval 2022 Pay Equity Report.
COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED
Motion to approve the 2022 Pay Equity Report.

Interpreting Results of Compliance Tests
Your jurisdiction is required to pass four tests to be in compliance.
1. Completeness and Accuracy Test
Report is submitted on time
Data is correct
Required information has been provided
For more information, refer to the Guide to Understanding Pay Equity Compliance
2. Statistical or Alternative Test
Compares salary data to determine if female classes are paid consistently below male
classes of comparable work value (job points). The Minnesota Pay Equity Management
System will generate results applying the Statistical Analysis Test. Underpayment ratio
results of 80 and above are passing. In some cases, the Alternative Analysis is required and
consists of a manual review of the data. Refer to the following page to determine which
test applies to your report. For more information, refer to the Guide to Understanding Pay
Equity Compliance.
3. Salary Range Test
Compares the average number of years required for female classes to move through a
salary range consisting of a time-phased step progression to the average number of years
required for male classes. Results of 0 or 80 and above are passing scores. (Test does not
apply if years to achieve maximum salary are not defined or if salary ranges are not
defined). For more information, refer to the Guide to Understanding Pay Equity
Compliance.
4. Exceptional Service Pay Test
Compares the percentage of female classes receiving longevity or performance pay to the
percentage of male classes receiving longevity or performance pay. In noting exceptional
service pay, recipients must exceed the maximum salary reported. Results of 0 or 80 and
above are passing scores. (Test does not apply if exceptional service pay is not available in
your jurisdiction). For more information, refer to the Guide to Understanding Pay Equity
Compliance.
Interpreting Results of Compliance Tests
When to use Statistical and Alternative Analysis Tests
At least 6 male
classes & at
least one salary

Alternative
Analysis
More than 20%
female classes are
at a disadvantage
A disadvantage occurs when a female job class:
• has more points and less pay than a male class and there are no male classes with more
points
• has the same points as a male class and less pay
• has points between two male classes and less pay than either
• rated lower than all male classes and pay is not reasonably proportionate to points as
other classes
AND the difference cannot be explained by years of service or performance

AGENDA ITEM
Prepared By: mcc Reviewed By: A. Carlson Approved By:
1. Purpose. The purpose of this action item is to gain Council approval to commence the planning and
engineering of the Spruce Place right-of-way realignment project.
2. Background. The majority of the paved roadway of Spruce Place is not located within the platted
public right-of-way. Additionally, because of the road alignment, several of the homes on the lake side of
Spruce Place have improvements/buildings constructed up to and/or within the right -of-way corridor. The
roadway is narrow, and Spruce Place does not terminate in a cul-de-sac. The dead-end configuration
results in challenges for residents, delivery drivers, and garbage haulers. A shift in property lines would
correct the roadway to be within public right-of-way and to provide some relief to the abutting properties
with current right-of-way encroachments.
At the April 11, 2022 Council Work Session, staff provided information to the Council regarding this
possible solution. Ray and Linda Hoffmann are the owners of 1254 Loma Linda (shown on the aerial
image Exhibit B). They also own the vacant unaddressed lot between their property and 1295 Spruce
Place (owned by the City). The Hoffmann’s have indicated an interest in working with the City toward a
solution which would involve trading City right-of-way for a portion of their property in addition to an
encroachment agreement to address their existing driveway improvements. Council directed staff to
proceed and request an estimate from Bolton & Menk for the surveying and engineering work.
3. Neighborhood Notification. In May of 2022, letters were sent to owners of nine properties along the
Spruce Place corridor to inform them of the City’s exploratory project. A sample of the letter is attached
as Exhibit C. Two additional properties were added to the scope since the April work session. Four
property owners have reached out to staff with questions; their response to the potential project has been
generally positive.
4. Scope. The scope of Bolton & Menk’s services would include surveying, property research and
right-of-way computations, set new monuments, and preparation of vacation and encroachment exhibits.
The administrative paperwork, public hearings, and neighbor communications will be handled by staff.
5. Engineering and Design Cost. Bolton & Menk has provided a scope of services for a fee estimate
not to exceed $16,000 (Exhibit A).
6. Funding. The engineering and subsequent legal review and recording costs will be funded by the
Engineering Operation Budget.
COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED:
Move to direct staff to move forward with the Spruce Place right-of-way realignment project and
acceptance of the Bolton & Menk’s proposal.

RE: Spruce Place Land Swap – Professional Services
Dear Melanie:
As requested, we have prepared a scope of services and fee estimate for the professional services required for the
proposed land swap and right of way vacation on Spruce Place.
Proposed Scope of Engineering Services
To assist the city with this project, Bolton & Menk proposes the following scope of services:
• Initial Project Set Up and GSOC
• Survey Control Tied into know Coordinates
• Field Topography to Locate Edge of Road and Property Corners
• Property Research and Right of Way Computations
• Set New Monumentation
• Four Right of Way Vacation and Encroachment Exhibits
Fee Estimate
Based on the scope of services described above, we propose a not-to-exceed fee of $16,000 to be billed on an
hourly basis.
Please let me know if you have questions or need additional information.
Sincerely,
Bolton & Menk, Inc.

RE: Possible Spruce Place Property Line Re-Alignment
Recently a resident on Spruce Place approached the City about a home improvement project on their property. In
reviewing the options for this resident, Staff observed the alignment of the road right-of-way for Spruce Place does
not follow the actual paved roadway. Rather, many of the homes on the lake side have buildings and/or
improvements constructed up to and/or within the right-of-way. Additionally, it was noted that Spruce Place does
not have a cul-de-sac resulting in challenges for residents, delivery drivers, garbage haulers, and emergency vehicles.
Upon further exploration, staff noted that with a possible shift in existing property lines the roadway could be
correctly placed within a public right-of-way corridor; no change to the existing roadway would be needed. Staff has
had informal discussions with the primary impacted property owners, Ken and Linda Hoffmann at 1254 Loma Linda.
They also own the vacant 0.18 acre lot situated between their property and City-owned 1295 Spruce Place. The
Hoffmanns have indicated they are interested in working with the City toward a mutually beneficial solution.
The current solution being explored is a land swap between the City and the Hoffmanns in order to move the
Hoffmann’s road abutting boundary line from the east side of the paved roadway to the west. As an exchange, the
Hoffmanns would gain the portion of the right-of-way that currently encroaches into their property on the northeast
curve of their lot. The second part of the solution involves the portion of land currently dedicated as right-of-way
which encroaches into your property. Upon movement of the Hoffmann’s property line, the City would vacate the
portion of right-of-way abutting your property. You would gain this vacated property which would then be combined
with your existing property, increasing the square footage of your property.
The City’s surveying crew will be collecting information in your area. If you have questions or would like to discuss
this project, please reach out to me at 952.249.4627 or by email: mcurtis@ci.orono.mn.us .

WHEREAS, on June 21, 2022, the Planning Commission recommended denial of
the variance into the side yard citing the conflict with the DNR right-of-way; and
WHEREAS, on July 7, 2022, the Applicant provided a revised plan eliminating the
encroachment into the DNR right-of-way and revising the side setback to 9.1 feet where 10 feet
is required; and
WHEREAS, on July 25, 2022, the City Council reviewed the revised application
and the recommendations of the Planning Commission and City staff; and
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of Orono, Minnesota
hereby approves the variances as revised and described above based on one or more of the
following findings of fact concerning the Property:
FINDINGS OF FACT:
1. This application was reviewed as Zoning File #LA22-000026. 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, Single Family Lakeshore Residential Zoning District.
3. The Property contains 0.39 acres in area and has a defined lot width of 87.7 feet along
the front lot line (the Property does not have frontage on a public or private roadway).
4. The Property is within Tier 2 and hardcover is limited to 30% according to the Stormwater
Quality Overlay District.
5. Applicant has applied for the following variances:
a. Front Yard Setback Variance
b. Side Yard Setback Variance
6. The Property has no lake or street frontage, or roadway access; rather the driveway
access to Bederwood Drive is provided via a leased easement over the DNR Luce Line
Trail right-of-way.
7. The Property has no clear front or rear property line.
8. In considering this application for variance, the Council has considered the advice and
recommendation of the Planning Commission and the effect of the proposed variances
CITY OF ORONO
RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL
NO. 7278
3
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 setback variances are supported by practical
difficulties due to the substandard lot conditions and lot of record status. The requested
variances for front and side setback for the garage addition appear to be in harmony with
the City’s goals for conforming development and are in harmony with the Ordinance. The
requested setback variances are reasonable considering the location of the existing
home.
2. “Variances shall only be permitted . . . when the variances are consistent with the
comprehensive plan.” Based on the location of the existing home setback variances are
needed to construct the attached garage addition to the home which is 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 required setbacks for the Property allow for an approximate 3,200 square foot
building area; the existing home footprint extends 10 feet outside of the buildable
envelope. It is reasonable to connect the garage addition on the east side of the
home to utilize the existing driveway easement which requires variances.
b. The plight of the landowner is due to circumstances unique to his property not created
by the landowner.
The substandard size of the Property, railroad right-of-way encroachment,
orientation, and driveway easement access are existing conditions; there is no
available land with which to make the Property conforming. The location of the
driveway easement and existing home are likely driving the design and support the
setback variances;
c. The variance, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the locality.”
CITY OF ORONO
RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL
NO. 7278
4
The orientation and placement of the home and proposed additions on the Property
does not appear to negatively impact the local neighborhood character.
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 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.” There are special conditions to the land justifying
the setback variances in the existing home location, easement access and driveway
configuration. This criteria is met.
9. “The conditions do not apply generally to other land or structures in the district in which the
land is located.” The LR-1A setbacks are not specific to the Property yet a number of other
small lots exists within this area. The setbacks cause the need for the requested setback
variances. This criteria is met.
10. “The granting of the application is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a
substantial property right of the applicant.” Substantial property right is provided by the home
on the Property. The requested variances would allow for a logical connection to an attached
garage within the side and front yard setbacks preserve the owner’s rights.
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 setback
variances in this unique situation is not contrary to the intent of the zoning chapter.
12. “The granting of such variance will not merely serve as a convenience to the applicant, but
is necessary to alleviate demonstrable difficulty.” The Applicant asserts that the setback
CITY OF ORONO
RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL
NO. 7278
5
variances are necessary. The setback variances provide for a garage orientation and
footprint location which make use of the existing home and driveway orientation.
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 78-305 to allow construction of an attached
garage 10.1 feet from the front property line, and 9.1 feet from the north, side property line, 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 July 6, 2022 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.
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 building permit must be
obtained within one year of the date of Council approval, or the variance will expire on that
date (July 25, 2023).

2. LA22-000026 AL AZAD, 165 BEDERWOOD DRIVE, REQUESTS FRONT AND SIDE
YARD SETBACK VARIANCES FOR A GARAGE ADDITION. (STAFF: MELANIE
CURTIS)
Al Azad, Applicant, was present.
City Planner Curtis gave a presentation on the item, noting in 2021 the Applicant received variances in
order to redevelop the property. However, due to high material and labor costs, they have adjusted their
plans. The Applicant is now requesting variances from the front 50 foot setback and side setback in order
to construct a garage addition in line with the existing home’s interior layout. The side property line abuts
Luce Line right-of-way which extends into the property approximately 7.5 feet. The existing home is set
7.3 feet from this right-of-way encroachment line and 14.9 feet from the property line. The addition will
encroach into the railroad easement by 3.1 feet creating a setback of 4.4 feet from the northern property
line where a 10 foot setback is required. Staff finds the zoning district requirements, the existing lot size
and width, and the unique configuration of the property having no actual road frontage create practical
difficulties. The existing detached garage is constructed right up to this property line within the railroad
easement and the new garage is shown within the existing garage foot print. The DNR has received a
copy of the Applicant’s plans and Staff is awaiting their feedback on this application. Staff recommends
approval. Curtis noted the Applicant should use care in improving the existing driveway to connect the
new driveway assuring the improved driveway area remains within the established driveway easement
shown on the survey. Feedback from the DNR will be provided to the City Council along with the
Planning Commission’s recommendation at the July 11, 2022 meeting.
Ressler noted it is currently encroaching on a railroad easement and typically they are not supportive of
going into easements, yet Staff recommends approval.
Curtis replied Staff approval is based on the existing garage and the improved setback the new garage
addition will provide from the property line.
Erickson stated an easement is not the same as a setback. Rather an easement is something granted from
one property owner to another and in this case it is a State trail administered by the DNR. They are the
beneficiaries of that easement and from a jurisdictional standpoint Erickson questions the City’s ability to
approve something that conflicts with State property.
Curtis replied that is the reason at this time Staff recommends approval pending feedback from the DNR.
She spoke with the Parks and Trails Supervisor earlier in the day that was going to review the plans and
provide feedback which has not yet been received. In the conversation, the Supervisor indicated the way
the DNR addresses building encroachments within their building areas is to issue a lease to the property
to allow that use.
Erickson thinks it is important for the City to have some consistency and there have been other Applicants
with encroachments in the Luce Line. He believes they required them to remove any encroachments on
the easement, and spoke about an application regarding a shed. Another concern is looking at the plan
there is an 8 foot space between the garage and the house, it seems if they put the garage right up against
the house that would take care of the 3 foot encroachment.
Curtis thinks there are some windows the owners are trying to preserve on that side of the home. She
believes the shed encroachment Erickson is talking about was actually a Dakota Rail improvement which

is Hennepin County governed so the City defers to the County to proceed with a removal if they so
choose.
Al Azad, 165 Bederwood Drive, said the garage is not in good shape and they are trying to rebuild it
where it was as the property was built in 1946.
Chair McCutcheon asked Mr. Azad if he would consider moving the garage closer to the existing home.
Mr. Azad replied yes, they might be open to that. He also called the DNR and has not heard back from
them.
Chair McCutcheon opened the public hearing at 7:19 p.m. There were no public comments.
Chair McCutcheon closed the public hearing at 7:19 p.m.
Bollis would like to see the garage out of the easement but if the DNR is okay with it, he would also be
fine with it as it is making the situation better. He would be willing to vote yes pending DNR approval.
Kirchner stated this is not something he can support for many of the reasons Erickson noted regarding
encroachments and easements. Even with DNR approval he does not believe it is a good practice as a
Commission to approve projects that create an encroachment. He cannot support the item.
Ressler said similar to lake yards that have tight setbacks where one is able to rebuild like-kind, the City
prefers to improve those positions and he is seeing that here. He recognizes Kirchner’s points that this is
an easement so it is not quite that simple. However, Ressler follows Bollis in recommending approval
contingent upon DNR providing their blessing.
Libby cannot comfortably support this having experience with proprietary real property asset ownership
of both the DNR and Dakota Rail. He has seen decisions go either way (not at a City level) but it would
appear that the Dakota right-of-way encroachment into railroad property is more DNR park land; he noted
they have categorically denied, refuted, refused, and actually caused loss of historic buildings and
accoutrements because there is a standing policy in their legal department that they will not allow it. If
this is truly real property asset owned and controlled with a decision made by the DNR, there is still
another governing authority that will have to decide. From past experience he cannot support this
application as it is an encroachment, whether it is historic or “grandfathered” in.
Curtis asked for clarification from the Commission: if the encroachment into the easement is not
acceptable, they still have a10 foot setback from the side and for the Applicant’s sake she’d like to know
whether the Commission is supportive of that encroachment.
Kirchner stated he would be fine with the setback, however he has an issue with the encroachment.
Bollis and Ressler agreed.
Chair McCutcheon thinks there is an opportunity to change the design and not be inside the encroachment
which would be more likely to be approved.

Kirchner moved to deny LA22-000026, 165 Bederwood Drive, Requests Front and Side Yard

Ressler clarified his position that he is in support of the application as applied for the merits mentioned.
He is in support of a “lesser version” of this. He appreciates Staff clarifying they seem to have majority
support for everything except the encroachment onto the easement. He feels even if denied that feedback
should carry some weight to the City Council.
Erickson seconded. VOTE: Ayes: 5, Nays 1 (Bollis).
3. LA22-000028 PETER ESKUCHE WITH ESKUCHE DESIGN, 2605 NORTH SHORE
DRIVE, REQUESTS VARIANCES FOR BUILDING, HARDCOVER, AND RETAINING
WALLS WITHIN THE 75’ LAKESHORE, SIDE YARD, WETLAND BUFFER, AND LOT
AREA IN ORDER TO CONSTRUCT A NEW HOME. (STAFF: LAURA OAKDEN).
Peter Eskuche, Applicant, was present.
City Planner Oakden gave a presentation on the item, stating this is a project for a new home with a
request to demolish the existing home and rebuild. She gave background on the surveys noting the site is
unique because Lake Minnetonka is on the south side but is also present on the side, along with a pond
and inlet which creates quite a large 75 foot setback. The new house will be a building, hardcover, and
retaining walls within the 75 foot setback variance requested, sideyard variance request, lot area variance
request, and a wetland setback request. Staff recommends approval of the proposed variances associated
with the construction of the new home; Staff does not support the wetland setback variance as it pertains
to an entrance monument proposed location. The existing structure is 18 feet from Lake Minnetonka at
the closest point on the lake yard and 50 feet on the inlet side/sideyard. The Applicant is proposing a new
home further back from the lakeshore at 36.5 feet from the lake and 53 feet from the inlet. The proposal
includes the removal of hardcover on the west and south side of the property and to minimize the inlet
encroachment the Applicant is proposing to push the house closer to the shared property line on the east.
The Applicant has worked to design the home to try to improve current setbacks and maintain some of the
same footprint of the existing home. Minnehaha Creek Watershed was contacted and they require a low
floor opening of 933.5 which was shared with the Applicant. Oakden stated the property currently has
entrance monuments which could be maintained; the new location of the entrance monuments are roughly
5 feet from delineated wetland where 25 feet is required. Staff finds the inlet is a practical difficulty
supporting the variance and notes the Applicant is working to improve the site by building within the
existing foot print and moving the house away from the existing setbacks, and reducing the overall
hardcover. Staff finds the wetland buffer variance to allow for the monuments is a convenience and not
necessary for use of the property and does not support that variance. She has included a variance request
from 2019 that has since expired. The Applicant submitted two neighboring signatures with
acknowledgement and those are also included in the packet. Staff recommends approval for the proposed
variances for hardcover, building, retaining wall, and the 75 foot lake yard, 75 foot setback, sideyard
setback, and lot area. Staff recommends denial for the proposed setback for the new entrance monuments
as practical difficulty standards were not met.
Ressler asked if there is a survey identifying the existing monument.
Oakden replied the red indicates the existing monument and the blue is the new proposed monuments.

Completed Lease.pdf
Melanie,
Thank you for the call this afternoon. Having only learned about this application today, this is based
on a very preliminary review of the situation.
A significant number of years ago, it was determined that a driveway and garage were trespassing on
DNR property. To resolve the situation, an easement was issued for the driveway and a lease was
issued for the garage.
Regarding the driveway, I haven’t been able to review the easement yet. I would assume that there
is a requirement in the easement that any changes to the driveway need to be approved by the
DNR. In addition, the easement only covers providing access to the property and not any
structures. We have not received any information from the landowner regarding what these
changes might be so we certainly couldn’t approve anything at this point.
Regarding the garage, the latest lease I’ve been able to find is very specific under #20. A. Additional
Terms “Any personal property located within the Premises caused to be rebuilt or repaired must be
relocated outside the Premises and the Luce Line State Trail right of way (ROW).” Therefore once
the old garage is removed, nothing new may be built on state property as it would be considered a
trespass. Again the landowner had not contacted us until this morning so we’ve been unable to fully
review the situation but any new development that would result in structures on our property would
not be approved. (On a side note, these lease was not renewed which now means the garage is a
trespass and it either needs to be removed or the lease for the current structure started again.)
We would request the city not approve this request as it would result in unapproved trespass on our
property. I am available for further conversation if there are any questions.
Sincerely,

Thank you for your time on the phone. Attached is the complete staff report with exhibits. The property
owner is requesting a new, small triangular encroachment that would be within the existing garage’s
footprint approximately 3 feet into the ROW but within the defined property boundary. It appears also
that they intend to expand the driveway width slightly on the property within the ROW to accommodate
the new garage.
Please share the DNR’s position on both ROW encroachments if you’re able.
Thank you,

Public Hearing
Background
In 2021 the applicant received variances in order to redevelop the property. However, due to
high material and labor costs, they have adjusted their plans. The applicant is now requesting
approvals in order to construct an attached garage addition on to the existing home. The rear
porch addition will meet the required setbacks, the proposed garage addition will require front
yard and side yard setback variances.
The subject property (represented by the thick black line on survey) extends into/overlaps with
a described railroad right-of-way easement (dashed line highlighted yellow on survey) see
Exhibit C and the image on the right. The proposed addition, shown in blue, encroaches into
this railroad easement area by 3.1 feet, creating
a setback of 4.4 feet from the northern property
line.
Practical Difficulties Analysis
Applicant Submittal Information: The applicant
has 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: Staff
finds the LR-1A zoning district requirements, lot
size, width, and the unique configuration
without actual road frontage abutting the Luce
Line Trail create some practical difficulties for
development. The existing detached garage is
constructed right up to the property line within
Application Summary: The applicant is requesting front yard and side yard setback variances
in order to construct an addition to the existing home.
Staff Recommendation: Planning Department Staff recommends approval.

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. 14, 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
setback variances area supported by practical difficulties due to the substandard lot
conditions and lot of record status. The requested variance for side setback for the
garage addition do not appear to be in harmony with the City’s goals for conforming
development and is not in harmony with the Ordinance as the addition could be
adjusted to meet the 10-foot setback from the easement line. The requested front
setback variance may be reasonable considering the location of the existing home.
2. The variance is consistent with the comprehensive plan. Based on the location of the
existing home setback variances are needed to construct the attached garage addition
to the home which is 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 required setbacks for the Property allow
for an approximate 3,200 square foot building area; the existing home
footprint extends 10 feet outside of the buildable envelope. It is reasonable to
connect the garage addition on the east side of the home to utilize the existing
driveway easement would require variances.
b. There are circumstances unique to the property not created by the landowner;
The substandard size of the property, railroad right-of-way encroachment,
orientation, and driveway easement access are existing conditions; there is no
available land with which to make the Property conforming. The location of
the driveway easement and existing home are likely driving the design and
need for the setback variances; and
c. The variance will not alter the essential character of the locality. The
orientation and placement of the home on the property does not appear to
negatively impact the local neighborhood character.
FILE #LA22-000026
21 June 2022
Page 4 of 5
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. 17, 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. There are special conditions to the land
justifying the setback variances in the existing home location, easement access and
driveway configuration. This criteria is met.
9. The conditions do not apply generally to other land or structures in the district in which
the land is located. The LR-1A setbacks are not specific to the Property yet a number of
other small lots exists within this area. The setbacks cause the need for the requested
setback variances. This criteria is met.
10. The granting of the application is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a
substantial property right of the applicant. Substantial property right is provided by the
home on the property. The proposed variances to the side and front yard setbacks to
orient the garage in a particular way is not a right. This criteria is not met.
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
setback variances in this unique situation is not contrary to the intent of the zoning
chapter.
12. The granting of such variance will not merely serve as a convenience to the applicant,
but is necessary to alleviate demonstrable difficulty. The Applicant asserts that the
setback variances are necessary. The setback variances provide for a garage
orientation and footprint location which make use of the home and driveway
orientation.
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.
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
FILE #LA22-000026
21 June 2022
Page 5 of 5
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
Staff recommends approval of the variances as requested. The applicant should use care in
improving the existing driveway to connect to the new driveway to assure the improved area
remains within the easement.

AGENDA ITEM
Prepared By: Reviewed By: JVE Approved By:
1. Purpose. The purpose of this action item is to approve procurement of a replacement vehicle for the
Fire Department.
2. Background. The Orono City Council authorized purchase of a replacement vehicle for CMD2 in
September of 2021. Automotive supply chain issues has delayed purchase of the vehicle and made
purchase thru the normal state contract impossible at this time. LLFD has been able to locate an
appropriate vehicle in Maryland. The vehicle exceeds the previous approved amount so a new council
approval is required. In addition the LLFD has identified issues with CMD1 and would like the Orono
City council to consider replacement of it simultaneously with CMD2 from the same source.
3. Equipment Description. The Command Vehicles are used by the Fire chief and duty officer.
4. Cost. The fire department received one proposal from Criswell Fleet Sales.
Item Cost CIP Amount
CMD 2 -Chevy Tahoe SUV PPV $ 68,853.59 $60,000 (2021)
CMD 1 -Chevy Tahoe SUV PPV $ 68,853.59 $65,000 (2027)

1. Purpose. The purpose of this action item is to adopt a City-wide, twelve month, moratorium of
the sale, testing, manufacturing, and distribution of THC products within the City.
2. Background. During the 2022 legislative session, the Minnesota Legislature amended Minn.
Stat. §151.72 and permitted the sale of edible and nonedible cannabinoid products that
contain no more than 0.3 % of Tetrahydrocannabinol, commonly known as THC (“THC
Products”). The new law does enact some requirements for labeling and testing, but the
law provides no parameters regulating production, compliance checks, or sales of THC
Products.
The City is authorized to enact by ordinance a moratorium to regulate, restrict or prohibit
any use within the jurisdiction to protect the public health, safety, and welfare. Specifically,
the City is authorized to enact a moratorium ordinance to allow it to undertake a study to
determine whether to adopt any regulations or restrictions, including siting and location of
uses, related to the sales, testing, manufacturing, and distribution of THC Products.
At the July 20th Police Commission meeting, the Chief of Police made the recommendation
that all four cities adopt a moratorium on THC products until the issues surrounding the
production and sales of THC products can be studied and appropriate restrictions may be
implemented.
3. Staff Recommendation. Staff recommends approval of an interim ordinance prohibiting the
sale, testing, manufacturing, and distribution of THC Products.

CITY OF ORONO
COUNTY OF HENNEPIN
STATE OF MINNESOTA
AN INTERIM ORDINANCE PROHIBITING THE SALE, TESTING,
MANUFACTURING, AND DISTRIBUTION OF THC PRODUCTS
The City Council of the City of Orono does ordain:
SECTION 1. BACKGROUND.
1. By enacting 2022 Session Law Chapter 98, Article 13, the Minnesota Legislature
amended Minn. Stat. §151.72 and permitted the sale of edible and nonedible
cannabinoid products that contain no more than 0.3 % of Tetrahydrocannabinol,
commonly known as THC (“THC Products”).
2. The new law does enact some requirements for labeling and testing, but the law
provides no parameters regulating production, compliance checks, or sales of THC
Products. The new law does not prohibit local regulation.
3. Pursuant to Minn. Stat. § 462.355, subd. 4, the City is authorized to enact by ordinance
a moratorium to regulate, restrict or prohibit any use within the jurisdiction to protect
the public health, safety, and welfare. Specifically, the City is authorized to enact a
moratorium ordinance to allow it to undertake a study to determine whether to adopt
any regulations or restrictions, including siting and location of uses, related to the sales,
testing, manufacturing, and distribution of THC Products.
4. Pursuant to its general police powers, including but not limited to, Minn.
Stat. § 421.221, subd. 32, the City may enact and enforce regulations or restrictions on
THC Products within the City to protect the public safety, health, and welfare,
including restrictions and a moratorium on the use of sales, testing, manufacturing, and
distribution, during the pendency of a study to determine the need for police power
regulations, including but not necessarily limited to licensing and permitting.
SECTION 2. FINDINGS.
1. The City Council finds there is a need to study THC Products and uses and businesses
