Curren, 110 Orono Orchard Road VARIANCE Mr. Curren proposes to create a two-bedroom home from his existing one-bedroom home. The Hennepin County Soil Survey shows that the soil type on the site is probably Erin Locun, which generally has a slow percolation rate due to a high clay content. Although no actual soil testing has been done on the site, we could probably expect a percolation rate of from 30-60 minutes per inch or slower based on the soil type. In this ranges Orono's Design Manual requires 330 s.f. of drainfield per bedroom. The Design Manual also requires a minimum of 800 s.f. of drainfield per dwelling unit for this percolation rate range, and a like amount (800 s.f.) installable in the future. Based on the existing and proposed site restrictions, probably no more than 1250—1300 s.f. of drainfield meeting all code requirements can be installed on the lot. On a per bedroom design basis, a two-bedroom home could be acceptable on the lot, leaving enough area for future drainfield. Based on the code requirement of 1,600 s.f. total possible drainfield (primary and future needs) the lot falls short by about 20%. With these numbers in mind, and assuming no plans for sewer in this area, my feeling is that we could allow the proposed room and garage addition if the soils can be shown through percolation testing to be able to support a standard septic system. Due to the extreme slopes, we probably could not allow a mound system. If soil testing indicates the use of standard or shallow trenches would be allowable in the area available for drainfield use, I would recommend approval of the addition. If soil testing indicates an average percolation rate too slow for a standard system, I recommend the application be denied on the grounds that the lot will not support an acceptable on-site sewage treatment system for the proposed home. If the addition is allowed, the owner should be required to bring the existing septic system up to current standards for a two-bedroom home. isi I CfLUtf \ •• * . f'*r ':tc*».»in C. fu-rcn <?r ./•'I 7', (tono ( rrhv.rcB Kor.nv'ir Cfunty, rirnerot- #533 \ \ w* \ V I hereby certify thst this is b tru«- and ror- rrrt ropre5ir;tMtion oi' a rurr-oy or tho Icuno-.rlas of -<f*t 7.', Orono Orrhurdp, ar.d t-o ior-ttion of all ^xistlnp bi-illini-s thoreor..

Olson^ Village Planner 5 3 4 December 18, 1979 SUBJECT; #534 E. S. Hendrickson - 525 North Ferndale Road VARIANCE The applicant reguests after—the—fact approval of accessory building construction on his lot. The construction actually consists of a 12 ft. X 30 ft. (360 s.f.) connection between two prior existing garages. This connection was done without a building permit this summer and was discovered by staff this fall during inspection on a nearby property. Staff has had several discussions with both the property owner# E. S. (Roy) Hendrickson^ Sr. and the principal user and builder of the garages his son Steve Hendrickson. The first (eastern) garage was built in 1971, Building Permit No. 2577, 28 X 30 = 840 s.f. The second (western) garage was built in 1976, Building Permit No. 3228, 32 X 30 - 960 s.f. two stories. The second garage was placed 12 feet away from the first, thus conforming to both Building Code (6 feet) and Zoning Code (10 feet) required setbacks between separate structures. Steve Hendrickson originally applied in 1976 for a permit to add onto the original garage. He was advised by me at that time that the maximum allowable size for an accessory was 1,000 s.f., only 150 s.f. larger than the existing building. At that time he elected to build’ the separate second building rather than trying to seek a variance for the larger structure. The net effect of the construction this summer is to combine the buildings into one structure of 2,160 s.f. This requires a variance to the Zoning Code Section 31.330. This also requires structural considerations in order to meet the building code because the new garage has frost footings and the c'der one apparently does not. The building code permits only 1,000 s.f. without frost footings and allows no rigid connection between structures having different types of foundations. Thus, even if a variance were to be granted from the Zoning Code Section 31.330, structural modifications may be required to either place an expansion joint of some sort between the two different construction types. The garage space is used by Steve Hendrickson to house and work on an antique car collection. There is no outside debris and we have had no neighborhood complaints. The 360 s.f. addition is intended as a workshop for landowner Roy Hendrickson. There are no setback problems December 18, 1979 E. S. Hendrickson 525 North Ferndale Road VARIANCE Page 2 534 The variance request is simply one of accessory building size, Section 31.330: 1,000 s.f. maximum permitted; proposed 2,160 s.f. The lot size (less road) is 1.45 acres. Roy Hendrickson has stated that should he be granted this variance, he would make any necessary structural changes to comply with all State Building Code requirements concerning buildings of this area and character. i •( LAND USE PUNNING ZONING VARIANCE APPLICATION cm OF ORONO Box 66, Crystal Bay, Hlrmesota 53323 NSTBUCTIOWt; ftrat read the «ttaeh*d InfonMtlen Shaat.

Hendrickson 525 North Perndale Hayzata, MN 55391 Dear Mr.' Hendrickson: This letter is to confirm our conversation in my office on November 16 and Mr. Dick Benson's visit with you earlier this week. The work you did this July in building a connection between the two garages was done without a permit and is in violation of both the zoning code and the State Building Code. As you and I fully discussed when you received the permit for the second garage in 1976, the zoning code limits accessory buildings to 1,000 square feet in size and requires a 10 ft. setback between structures. The building code requires full frost footings under all buildings in excess of 1,000 square feet, footings which are not present under the 840 square ft. original garage. The combined garage as you have made it is now some 2,160 square feet in ground area. As of our meeting, you were given an application for a zoning variance which was to be returned to me no later than November 30, 1979 if you wish to seek after-the-fact approval from the City Council*^ You will remember, however, that I cautioned you that legal hardships would be difficult if not impossible to prove, meaning that variance approval is unlikely. Then too, in the event that a zoning variance was granted, you would still be required to make the building conform to State Building Code structural requirements including the con struction of frost footings under the old garage. I suggest that you get an estimate for the footing construction before you proceed with the variance. In my experience, I think that you will find such work to be exhorbitant in cost when necessary to accomodate only 300 square feet of storage area.

Hendrickson 525 - North Ferndale Way^ata, Minnesota 55391 Re: Garage Addition without Permit Dear Mr. Hendrickson: Since November 8, 1979, the building inspector and myself have talked with your son Steve concerning work done on your property in violation of City zoning ordinances and the State Building Code. (See attached .l;*tter to Steve dated November 26, 1979.) As of today, the violations have not been corrected and the City has not received any zoning application, 30 days after the first notice and 11 days after the final deadline given for compliance. This letter is to advise you, that you as well as Steve, can be held responsible for the violations since the garage is on your property. THIS IS A FINAL NOTICE that FORMAL COMPLAINTS will be filed against both you as property owner, and Steve as the person directly responsible for constructing the garage addition, if che garage connection is not removed before January 1, 1980 or if a formal application has not been received. Sincerely,. / /Ajlan P. Olson ^.llage Planner APO:kh Enc. cc:Mr. Steve Hendrickson Mr. Walter R. Benson 1*^. k J, M X uafc FLANNING FYMTBTT .T 6dAd._± y 9 /#534 December 12, 1979 OROND CITY COUNCIL Deer Sirs: As you csn see by the attsched sppllcatlon I am applying, after the fact, for a permit and variance to expand my garage on my parents property at 525 N. Femdale Road. I realise that 1 was completely wrong to enclose the area between the two buildings without a permit. Obviously now I am sorry for having done so, but at the time it didn't seem harmful to anyone. Actually, as you can see by the attached photos, the addition enhances the appearance of the buildings, making them lauch more unified. As you can also see by the photos 1 went to significrnt effort to make the structures pleasing in appearance. I felt rough sawn cedar fit well with the northwoods look of pine trees. What you may not see from the photos, is how the garage doors for the second building were constructed so as to look, not like doors, but rather an uninterupted wall. I I use these garages for my hobby which is antique auto restoration and collecting. I am proud of the fact that nothing is ever left outside, nor are any vehicles left outside. Frankly the area is neater than many people'a driveways. Additionally, this has never been, nor will it ever be used as a coonercial venture, 'xlie vehicles I mstware bought to keep, not for resale; As to future owners of this property using it cossaercially that is unlikely, as I am buying the property from my parents when ever they are ready to sell. It has been theirs since 1952 and will be in our family as far and long into the future as I can see. Lastly, that 330 square feet in the addition siay seem unnecessary but helps me tremendously in parts storage area. Walter Benson has inspected the structure and can probably answer any questions about its interior appearance. All interior walls are panelled floors are painted and ceilings are finished. I appreciate your attention to this probl» and trust you will give me any consideration you can. r f ¥ U\fiU U5E PLANNING I • *'#534 - £««t««^ a.

March 20, 1972 The Planning Commission met on the above date with tiie following members present: Chair- man Soutnworth pro tern, Elliott, Kullberg, Nicholls, Ryerse, and Van West. Herfurth late. Also present: Councilman Massengale and Administrator Martin. Absent: Gasch, Hays, Poisson, and Searles. Mrs. Gary Hostetler represented herself in an application for a variance on lot size and frontage from the required one acre and 140* lot width. Brought out was that their lot is S8* on the street, 69' on the lake, and 225* deep or roughly 14,600 sq. ft. The house on this lot burned out about two months ago and the insurance company declared it a total loss, so they wish to construct a new home. They have a temporary permit for 90 days to use a mobile home. The existing house was hooked to sewer. Elliott moved, Ryerse seconded, due to harush: and that the house was in single separate ownership since 1967, approval(Ibe recommended. Motion, Ayes (6) - Nays (0). Members reviewed tae application of John “kLarson, 1396 Baldur Park Road, legally described as Lot 16, Block 1, Baldur Park. The lot has been in single separate owner ship for many years. There was a summer aouse on the premises that he removed last december at the insistence of tae Building Inspector. The density study showed that :hwith the exception of three parcels, which consisted of two lots and one large parcel at the end of the point, the residences in Baldur Park consisted of one lot corre* sponding to the subject lot in size and width. Discussion was not held on what length of time a variance was good for and whether a conditional use permit could be issued in lieu of a variance. It was brought out that a residence was a permitted use, and as such, could not be conditioned. It was noted that the next item on the agenda was a variance on lot size and width granted in 1965. Some people bought the property and were told to apply for a variance so they could be issued a building permit. (Continued) 7:30 P.M. /r «-?

Olson, Village Planner DATE: January 4, 1980 (Mailed 1-4-80 for review at 1-14-80 meeting) SUBJECT: Proposed Zoning Amendments Fences and Screening As member Jabbour will confirm, your comments and recommendations on Draft #3, made at your December 10, 1979 meeting, were delivered to the Council on December 11, 1979. The Council took strong exception to the Planning Commission's recommendation for retaining 6 ft. high "fences. The Council asked that Planning Commission again review the draft ordinance keeping in mind Orono's basic philosophy of maintaining open space and the value of light and air. The Council specifically asked Planning Commission to justify how 6 ft. high fences, walls or barriers nonfojrm to Orono's open space priority. The intent of the Council is to eliminate high fences, walls and barriers. The Council wants the Planning Commission to do a careful analysis of ^his draft ordinance with full discussion about consequences pro and con. The Council wants a Planning Commission recommendation in support of an ordinance that is ikeeping with the open space philosophy. The ordinance drafts to date have been done by staff following Council's policy directions. They contain many performance standard suggestions which deserve careful review. If Planning Commission takes major exception to some of these standards. Council wishes to have Planning Commission formulate an alternative draft including justifications. To this end. Planning Commission should expect to set aside sufficient time on January 14, 1960, or should plan to call a special meeting in the near future. A revised Draft #4 is attached which includes the latest staff response to the directions of the Council on December 11, 1979. An attempt has been made to eliminate "walls" and to simplify the boiler plate. Note that fence opacity has changed from 20% to 50% and that walls are now defined as permanent structures, not as opaque fences. y I TO:Council FROM:Alan P. Olson, Village Planner DATE: SUBJECT: January 4, 1980 Proposed Zoning Amendments Fences and Screening Attached is Draft #4 for review on January 15, 1980. To aid in your review, this draft has been copied with the residential provisions 38.970-97 on colored paper. The remainder of the ordinance consists of boiler plate revisions and supporting clauses. The boiler plate has been edited and hopefully simplified. Walls have been eliminated as much as possible and are now defined as permanent structures, not as opaque fences. The Council direction from the last meeting has been returned for Planning Commission response per the attached memo. Hopefully,^ a favorable draft and/or recommendation will be ready for Council review on January 15, 1980. The fence moratorium expires on January 16, 1980. cc: Planning Commission J ft 4’ Draft #4 January 3, 1980 CITY OF ORONO ORDINANCE NO.

Section .i. The Municipal Code of the City of Orono is amended by adding Sections 34.049, 36.052 and 38.960 et. seq. to read as follows: 34.049 Fences and V^alls Fences and walls as regulated in Section 38.960. 36.052 Screening Wherever an "I" Industrial District abuts or is across the street from an "R" District, screening pursuant to Section 37.100 shall be erected along the abutting lines. When adjacent to a street, it shall not be less than 3 feet nor more than 4 feet in height, shall be setback at least 20 feet from the street right-of-way, and shall conform to Section 31.500. All open or outside storage yards used for keeping of inventory, parts, supplies or vehicles shall be screened from all public streets regardless of the zoning district or use abutting the street. 38.960 Fences and Walls: Special Provisions The following Sections shall regulate the construction, location and height of fences and walls in all Districts. Ordinance No. Page 5 38.961 Purpose Fences are regulated herein to provide decoration, security, confinement or a sense of territory. Fences should be relatively low and open-appearing, complimenting the landscape without obscuring views or the community's sense of open space. ' Privacy fences and walls are more strictly regulated than open fences because such opaque structures also provide screening of views, open space, light and air and therefore affect privacy, neighboring properties and the character of the community. Retaining walls are further regulated because by their nature they also involve safety, grading, and/or drainage control concerns. 38.962 Fences and Walls, Opacity Opacity is the amount of the structure which is solid or opaque to wind and/or to view. Opacity is measured as the average of open space and solid material along the contiguous length of the structure. 38.963 Building Code All walls regardless of height including all retaining walls, and all fences in excess of 42 inches high shall require building permits and shall be subject to the regulations of the State Building Code.

Olson, Village Planner DATE: January 8, 1980 SUBJECT: Comprehensive Plan - Status Report In the last month, the Mayor and I have met with Gunnar Isberg three times to review recent plan drafts in detail. We have a copy which I was hoping to send for your review, but as of this morning we are still wrestling with organizational questions. I feel your time would be better spent reviewing the (hopefully) final version due before the end of January. The plan content is fairly well set with major work required on editorial decisions to allow clear understanding. In addition, recent meetings by the Mayor, Representative Searles, and Mr. Benson with Charles Weaver have confirmed that our basic policies will be acceptable to the Metro Council. The submission deadline is July 1, 1980. We hope to beat this date with informal review at the first meetings in February and public hearings before March. Review by adjacent cities should be done by May allowing formal submittal at that time. cL COMPREHENSIVE PLAN REVIEW - CITY OF THE VILLAGE OF MINNETONKA BEACH Prepared by: Minnetonka Beach Planning Conunission Zack Johnson and Associates Received:December 27, 1979 Reviewed by: Alan P. Olson, January 4, 1980 Minnetonka Beach is a village of 313 acres and 600 residents and is the smallest incorporated city in the State. The village is 97-98% developed; almost all of which is devoted to single family residential use. The Village has no commercial or industrial facilities. The only non-residential properties are the Lafayette Club (15% of the City's land area) the Village facilities, the post office and St. Martin's Church. The Village has no metropolitan park but does have five neighborhood parks comprising 5% of the land area. The Village foresees new residential development filling the remaining vacant land within the next ten years, amounting to some 25 units maximum. As soon as the Orono-Long Lake Interceptor is completed, all properties will be connected to the municipal sewer. All properties have municipal water available. Minnetonka Beach has the same philosophy and goals regarding transportation and County Road 15 as does Orono. Minnetonka Beach expects to continue to rely on neighboring cities for police and fire protection and for all commercial services. Attached is their land use map, exerpts from the plan and a suggested draft letter of review. If approved by Council action, the letter will be sent as Orono's official response to Minnetonka Beach.

The goals and plans of Minnetonka Beach appear to be consistent with and supportive of those of Orono. We agree that the metropolitan area will continue to require a certain percentage of land devoted to low density residential uses and that our unique location in the center of Lake Minnetonka, far from downtown Minneapolis, makes this land use proper for our area. As you note, the environmental concerns and lack of services available will continue, to restrict multi-family developments near the Lake. Your average lot density of .75 acre per unit is consistent with Orono*s urban lot sizes of .5 and 1.0 acre per unit where water and sewer is available. Orono, like Minnetonka Beach, also plans to continue reliance upon existing commercial centers such as Navarre, Wayzata and Excelsior with no need forseen to increase the land area devoted to such activities. Minnetonka Beach's opposition to any widening of County Road 15 is. precisely consistent with Orono*s position. This roadway must be . maintained safe and usable but other routes need be encouraged in order to eliminate unnecessary commuter trips and unnecessary social and environmental problems. To this end, Orono is actively working on the ring route concept and Orono is encouraging the discussion and development of farsighted, innovative planning options. Orono expects to continue working closely and cooperatively with Minnetonka Beach on this issue. In the matter of other joint services, the spirit of cooperation between our cities has been gratifying and, we believe, mutually beneficial. You can be assured that Orono intends to continue our efforts at ia^iroving the working relationships that we have established. I January 15, 1980 Honorable Lois Johnson, Mayor Ms. Judy Soukup, Planning Commission Chairwoman Council & Planning Commission Members Village of Minnetonka Beach Page 2 We look forward to sending our revised Community Management Plan to Minnetonka Beach in the near future. If you should have any questions or concerns, please address them to Walter R. Benson, City Administrator. Sincerely, William B.

Staff determined in review of the site plan for the proposed residence that Ordinance No. 31.203 would require a formal application and review by Council. The following points were reviewed with each Council member: 1. The applicant's site plan required no other viriances. 2. The septic inspector approved the septic design and drainfield areas (see Exhibit 7). 3. The contractor not realizing any problems was scheduled to build. 4.The owner, a long time resident of Orono, lives on Tract D (see Exhibit 4) and had purchased subject lot separately. Mrs. Keith was in a state of shock when notified of possible delay. 5. 6. Holiday schedule would delay Council's review until January 29, 1980. Staff recommends approval of the application. The poll of the Council was unanimous for approval. A Council member did raise the issue of precedent setting in approving this lot area variance. Could it have the same repercussions as seen in the Robert Watson application. At the joint meeting in December, the Mayor responded to this very same point. He stated that there will be times when councils are obligated to make political decisions but that need not limit a council's decision making authority with future applications. Each application has its own unique set of circumstances. The role of the Council is to respond to each individually. Lis Road irlance was polled by the rea and lot width 4) .

Gaffron, Septic System Inspector December 18, 1979 Proposed Septic System Approval Freda Keith - Edgewood Hills Road * I have reviewed the soil testing and septic system proposal for the proposed Edge Jackson home on Edgewood Hills Road. Although at first glance the lot appears too steep for a drainfield system, some natural terracing occurs where drainfields will be acceptable. Ample area can be preserved for present and future drainfields on the lot. The soil borings and perc tests indicate a standard system should work satisfactorily on the lot. The septic system for the Freda Keith residence at 1045 Edgewood Hills Road (adjacent to lot in question) was inspected today and appears to be functioning properly. Ample room exists on the property for use as future drainfield. Although the Jackson lot and the existing Keith residence are both less than two acres, the position of the houses on the lots leaves much room for drainfield. I would recommend approval of the 1.6 acre Jackson lot as a building site. -- -- - - - -^—-- - i; GORDON R. COFFIN LAND •UnVEVOfl AND PLANNCII J02B WATCATOWN AOAD LONO LAKE.
