(2)
(3)

further information. Motion - Ayes (6), Nays (0).
d
Tom McRierson, landscape architect from Badiman's, appeared
for the applicant. He presented a cross section drawing in
small scale showing tlie relative difference between the
xisting grades and the proposed grades. The proposal con-
ists of a proposed 2H ft. cut into the existing berm
and cutting the driveway down thereby allowing the water to
flow back into a holding area. Project would include truck
ing in an excessive amount of fill.
When asked, Mr. McPherson stated that there are certainly
other ways of grading around the cottage to effect positive
water runoff without having to use sudi a large amount of
fill.
Planning Commission agreed with the general concept of the
proposal and felt this project would be an improvement to
the property; however, they were unable to justify any
hardship requiring work within 75 ft. of the lakeshore.
Commission did indicate, however, that they would have no
objections to the removal of the stone wall and earth berm
along the grape arbor.
laki
licant is also proposing to resod within 75 ft. of the
l^eshore and to level off some existing potholes. This
would involve stripping the present sod and smoothing out
the area with a small tractor. Mr. McPherson stated that
the City would be informed prior to any stripping and that
the stripping and resodding would be done within an 8-hour
riod.6

After some discussion, Hannah moved, Guthrie seconded, to
recomncnd approval with the stipulation that we do not
approve any grading within 75 ft. of the lalceshore except
^fpT a small area around the existing grape aihor, and that
^4ne proposed sod removal and replacement be done within an
8-hour period and in such a manner so as to control any
siltation during the work.
Motion - Ayes (6), Nays (0).
Applicant was not present. As:»t. Zoning Administrator informed
the Coirmission that a John Waataja, son of the owner of Lots
10, 11 8 13, was in the City Office to check on the require
ments for these lots. Mr. Waataja was informed of the present
variance request and advised to contact Home Federal Savings
8 Loan to try and arrange a combination of properties.
McDonald moved, Dunlap seconded, to table this application
pending receipt of further information. Motion - Ayes (6),
Nays (0).
Asst. Zoning Administrator advised thac the applicant is
requesting a lot area and width variance for an addition
to the existing dwelling as well as an attached garage.
Proposal indues removal of existing garage and founda
tion. The existing building and proposal meets all the
quired setbacks.0
Applicant was not present. Mr. Lorenz, neighboring property
owner, was present. He had no objection to the proposal.
After a brief discussion, McDonald moved, Dunlap seconded,
to recommend approval given the fact that there is no other
land available, proposal meets all setback requirements,
and sid)ject to the removal of existing garage.
Motion - Ayes (6), Nays (0).
Mr. Hall arrived and was advised of the action that was
taken.
Mr. 8 Mrs. Ki^asch were present. They are requesting
approval of a variance for an addition to an existing
home on a substandard lot. Survey indicates the addition
to be located on the west or rear of existing home. The
existing dwelling is located extremely close to the County
right-of-way. However, the proposed addition would not
reduce the existing setback conditions.
Asst. Zcxiing Administrator informed the Commission that this
dwelling is in the sewer district, but there is no record of
any swer connection. This connection is required. Mr.
J^asch stated that when he purdiased this home he was
^^fonned that they were hooked up to the sewer. He
Deen paying a quarterly sewer charge. The Asst. Zoning
Adninistrator recommended that the City conduct a dye test
in order to determine if they are hooked up and that the
test be conducted prior to tne Council meeting of June 27,
Applicant agreed.

McT^ald moved, Dunlap seconded, to reconinend approval of the
variance subject to sewer hookup, if not already, prior to
taking out pennit for the addition. Motion - Ayes (6), Nays (0).
Heibert Hankinson and Tom Nelson, representing the Caiman
Cove Association, appeared before the Planning Comnlssion
to discuss their dredging application. They are requesting
approval to dredge an area of Carman's Cove for navigable
access to the properties in question. Approximately 2,500
cubic yards would be removed from an area 2 ft. deep by
45 ft. wide and up to 750 ft. long. This would include an
area of approximately 130 ft. into the Lake. This is the
only lake access for these properties and currently there
is no boat access at all.
The applicants informed the Comnission that the east side
of the diannel would be made approximately 20 ft. wider.
They would be coming in at somewhat of an angle south and
west of the swimming beach. The marsh on the east side
would not be disturbed. Generally in the spring, the
channel has been passable. However, for the past 10 years
around the first of August there begins to be a problem.
In the last two years, it has been an extreme problem.
The original dredging occurred here about 25 years ago.
Mr. Nelson stated that even if the lake were at its normal
level, the proposed dredging would still be necessary.
Thft spoils from this dredging project are proposed to be
Q^ved from the lake by barge to a drying area in
Bccelsior. The drying area is a riprapped section adjacent
to tile lake. Mr. HanVInson informed the Comnission that
the barge company is a reliable firm and he felt they
would do everything necessary to conform. Mr. Olson
also commented that Mr. Niccum, owner of the barge ccjmpany,
has been very cooperative concerning other proposals
involving Orono.
Planning Commission determined this is maintenance dr^ging
required to maintain riparian access to these properties,
and that the spoils removal system proposed would have the
least effect on the lake.
After some discussion, Dunlap moved, Hosfield seconded, to^
recommend approval of the redredging and maintenance dredging
request subject to the following conditions:
(1) That the spoils are removed directly frcxn Orono.
(2) Subject to approval of other agencies.
(3) Redredging of existing dredged channel to
provide riparian access only.
(4) Area to be dredged is 2 ft. deep by 45 feet wide
by 750 feet long.
^Stion - Ayes (5), Nays (0), Abstain (1) - McDcmld (opposed
the spoils not being removed from the Lake Minnetonka
shoreline.

As^. Zoning Administrator Olson stated that the applicant
is requesting approval to replace existing home with a new
dwelling. Proposed location of the new structure would be in
gg|ie same general area as the existing house. Planning
^wjiiiidssion noted the uncertainty of the actual proposal.
Applicant was not present to clarify. Approval would be
subject to combination of Lots 6 and 7 and the required
sewer connection.
After some discussion, Dunlap moved, McDonald seconded,
to recomnend appi'oval subject to the following:
(1)
(2)
(3)
(4)
Maintaining the 10 ft. side yard and 35 ft. front
yard setback requirements.
Proposed structure not be located any farther
forward to the lake than adjacent dwellings as
indicated on the survey.
Combination of Lots 6 and 7.
City sewer connection.
Motion - Ayes (6), Nays (0).
Comnission discussed this matter and were in general
agreement with the intent of the memo.
TVo members were concerned that there would be considera
tion of any marsh removal anywhere in the City, whether
not identified in the Stomwater Management Plan.
Uieir concern was that in the future we may need to use all
of our marshes.
Ihe comment was made that there is an abundance of open
water available for water fowl and the possible future need
to use all the marsh for stoni^rater filtration would
supercede this.
The Asst. Zoning Administrator reminded the Commission that
there is approximately 100 days remaining on the moratorium.
Hannah mov^, Hosfield seconded, that Jo Ellen Hurr be
included on the task force consisting of Menbers McDonald
and Hassel.
Motion - Ayes (6), Nays (0).

Planning Conmission went into work sessions on the following:
Donald Ekeberg (#276), Sussel Co. (#277), John Gullickson, Sr.
(#279), Joseph Reycraft (#280) and William Stewart (#281).
General discussion and comments turned toward unfinished
business. Among the items discussed were the need to have
a formal system of obtaining applicants for the Planning
Conmission and notifying those applicants when there is a
vacancy and when the vacancy has been filled.
The menbers were worried about the liability arising out
of their piblic duties. Because of their frequent visits
to private property, the> discussed the desiri)ility of
liaving some form of official identification to carry with
idiem. Is this something the City coul'^ provide?
John Guthrie volunteered to meet with the Council and
inquire as to the Council policy for providing protection
suc^ as liability insurance or the right to counsel if
adverse situations arise.
McDonald moved, Hosfield seconded, that John Guthrie be
appointed to meet with Council to discuss this matter.
Motion - Ayes (6), Nays (0).
Guthrie moved, Dunlap seconded, that the meeting be
"fijoumed at 10:05 p.m.
