Moticn • Ayes (4), Nays (0), The Zoning Administrator informed the Gomnission that Mr. Rhode has been into his office to discuss his new proposal. New material will be submitted soon. Hannah moved, Pesek seconded, to table this matter until the new proposal is submitted. Motion - Ayes (5), Nays (0). The Planning Comnission was advised that no application has been subadtted to date. t i#*^e Zoning Administrator reminded the Comnission tiiat he ^^d sent a letter to North Shore Drive Marina concerning the possible use of boat storage radks on their property. He advised that any increase in slips, including the coabined total of both land and water slips, was not permitted in marinas. A boat storage rack constitutes a stnicture and would require a building peimit. Before a building peimit could be issued, however, he would need the approval of Council and the Planning Connission Hannah moved, Pesek seconded, to td>le this matter until further input is received. Motion - Ayes (5), Nays (0). The Zoning Administrator advised that no new material had been submitted concerning the proposed dock location and dredging. The engineer was requested to come to the City office to discuss this project. Mr. Midiich stated that in talking with the Watershed District they suggested that the dock be constructed on floats which would eliminate the need for pilings. Mr. Muhich also infoimed the Goimission that the ENR considers the area of the dock location to be part of the lake and not marsh. Dunlap moved, Pesek seconded, to table this natter until jjjie necessary material is submitted. Motion - Ayes (5), ys (0). ATTENDANCE - 7:30 P.M.

Applicant is requesting variance for to tiie side of his house. There has been a conflict to where the easements were located. Mr. Odden now has abstract. Still seems to be some question concerning the location of the element. Planning COTmission requested applicant to submit a title opinion in order to clarify this matter. The Zoning Adbidristrator stated that the applicant has added a garage sin^ the last meeting. Proposed access would be on tiie west side. Proposed garage would meet the 10* side seti>ack; howe'er, it would be difficult backing iq> in the turn aroind. It was suggested that Mr. Odden obtain a letter of approval from the adjacent nei^bors to a set­ back variance. Planning Commission was concerned about the hardcover. Mr. Odden is now storing two cars, sail boat, mobile home and a cabin cruiser on his property. The proposed garage would :^tore some of this. After a brief discussion, Hassel moved, Pesek seconded, to table this matter conditioned on the following: (1) Clarification of easement location throu£^ title opinion to the City from an attorney. (2) Letter of no objection to setback variance from adjacent neighbors. (3) Percentage of hardcover in Zone 2. ^^tion - Ayes (5), Nays (0), Clayton Bangs and Dick Fred>om were present. The Zoning Administrator stated that the applicant is requesting a lot width variance. This lot exceeds the required area, but lacks the required width. The Zoning Administrator expressed concern for the adjoining, substandard lot which already contains a home. Our tax records indicate that there is one owner for the two lots. Mr. Bangs stated that there are two owners. Property is sewered. There was some discussion regarding the special assessment status. After some discussion, Pesek moved, Dunlap seconded, to reconmend denial based on the following: (1) (2) (3) W O Both lots were under one cornnon owner in 1965, January 1, 1975, and recorded as such in the 1977 tax record. Lot containing existing house is extremely sid>- standard (9,000 sq. ft.) TVo lots combined consist of approximately 1/2 acre of dry land. Would be setting precedence for similar pro­ posals along shorelines and marshes. Motion - Ayes (5), Nays (0).

The party owns Lot 1 also owns Lot 2. Applicant is requesting ^l^roval of Lot 2 as a buildable site. The property is not sewered. Coninission determined that even if these two lots were combined, they would lack the necessary square footage. After a brief discussion, Diailap moved, Hassel seconded, to reconmend denial based on the following conditions: Lots 1 and 2 are in comnon ownership. Area is not sewered nor is it planned to be sewered in the ConprAensive Sewer Plan. Increasing den­ sity would only add to the problem. There has been some indication that existing septic(3) (4) (5) systems in tiie area are not operating properly. Lots 1 and 2 are extrmnely siu>standard as individual building sites. Even if confined they lack the necessary 87,120 sq. ft. Suggested combination of the two parcels. Motion - Ayes (5), Nays (0). Mr. Warden arrived after the Commission had taken action on his application. They adHsed him of what had taken ^ace, and infoimed him that Comcil would be acting on C jis at their meeting of April 11, 1977. LOU WAR 140 aCNET PLACE ^ VARIANCE - LOT AREA § WIDlH (#241) Paul Kempf and his dad were present. The Zoning Admin­ istrator explained that the spplicant is requesting ^jpioval for the removal of the erosion of silt which has biiilt up over the years and the installation of riprap to protect against further erosion. Applicant indicated som maintenance dredging would be necessary for the rcmo>*al of the silt. Plannf ng Commission was concerned about the extent of the dredging and the affect this would have on the lake and the adjacent property owners. A considerable amount of silt has washed in over the years according to Mr. Kempf. Three parties representing neaiby property owners were in attendance. They were especially concerned about the dred^ng and the affect this would have on the nei^or- ing properties. They felt they were in the same position and should have the same ri^ts. Mr. Kempf stated that he had met with the IMCD and they had been requested to cut their docks back to the 200* length. He felt this was injust and they had no inteu- of changing the docks.

Concern about dredging because of the adverse affect on the lake and adjacent neighbors. Policy for peimitting dredging is to provide access to the lake for riparian owners. In this case, no reason could be found to justify this as property owner does have access to the lake. Maintenance dredging would not be necessaiy to provide access. In general, no objectirm to riprap. Indicated they were in favor of shoreline protection and riprap. Motion - Ayes (5), Nays (0). Mr. Lehman was present. Planning Coinnission reviewed a copy of the final plat. Determined that the final plat was the same as the preliminary and meets all the requirements. The Zoning Administrator pointed out that the proposed house location on Lot 3 would require a variance from the 75* lakeshore setback. Any proposed dwelling for Lot 3 would have difficulty meeting all the setback requirements because of the lagoon. After a brief discussion, Pesek moved, Hassel seconded, to recommend approval of the final plat as sii>mitted subject to the following: Approval of the plat does not constitute approval of the location of any dwelling. (2) All proposed duelling locations shall meet the miniu 75* lakeshore requirement. (3) Appropriate Paxk Dedication Fee (total $3,086.00). C4) Final plat is same as preliminaxy. Motion: Ayes (5), Nays (0). Work session only. Several adjoining property owners were present: H. D. Bliait, Wh. H. Reese, Jr., Donald Nelson, Lee Hartmann, H.R. Hartmann, Bob deGregory, Donna Blunt, Bette Reese and and Mr. Ellis. Lagoon is presently protected by tiiiber seawall and it is ^ving way. This proposal is for some riprapping and installation of an aliminimi seawall. Coanission was concerned about the seawall proposal in the lagoon proper. Felt the seawall would be aj^ropriate in the channel only. GoBBdssion suggested applicants consider riprapping the entire lagoon. Proper^ owners were not in favor of riprapping. Because a 45 degree angle would be necessary ^^tiiis riprapping, they felt they would be giving up il(^aximately 10 feet of their property.

A public hearing was scheduled for Mcaiday, May 2, 1977, at 7:30 p.n. Work session only. Mr. Lobben from Hennepin County Vo- Tech Schools was present and the Planning Commission reviewed the application with him. Mr. Lobben assured the Commission that this application was a separate natter from the Vo-Tech proposal. This is the same basic applicatl€*c as approve last year. Only difference is proposed new off County Road 16 which appears to Mve been in existence for many years. Mr. Lobben stated that this access would be used by a couple of pick up trucks only. The Connission was concerned ^out this new access and the potential use it could provide to the Medina area. Mr. Lcbben informed the Conanission that Vo-Tech was con­ sidering using the old bam in Medina for storage of farm equipment. No access would be necessary from City or Gouity roa^ as these vdiicles would travel back and Tth over the farmland between Medina and Orono. Clark ^gineering is researAing the possibility of providing a bridge over the creek for this purpose. a Work session only. After reviewing this application, the Planning Connission suggested replacement of dead trees with larger trees and the plant^ of vines. Also require larger trees on any new plaiming. Applicant would be reared to submit professional lanvcape plan indicating size and species of trees and ^hes. Comission determined professional planner is necessary for the new building plan proposal. They also felt professional landscaper may be able to suggest trees for this type of soil to alleviate the current problem with the trees dying* A piblic hearing is scheduled for Monday, April 18, 1977, at 7:45 p.n.
