MINUTES OF A PLANNING COMMISSION I4EETING HELD ON MARCH 3, 1980 The Planning Commission met on the above date. Present were the following members: Chairman Hammerel, Frahm, Jabbour and Wilson. Hannah arrived at 7:40 P.M. Mabusth and Olson represented the City staff. Olson was present to discuss the Proposed Accessory Structure Ordinance. He gave a brief explanation of the necessity of amending this particular ordinance and reviewed the questions posed by the members at their February 19, 1980 meeting. Some items discussed were as follows: 1.Some question regarding "lakeshore yard" - the members had some concern that if a house was placed further back from the lake than required, they should still maintain the full use of their yard (for a pool, tennis court, etc.). Maybe it should be tied to the "average" setback. Also a distinction should be made between accessory structure and accessory building. 2.They were concerned with "cellar" or "basement" wording - maybe the ordin2Uice should refer to no occupancy of unfinished buildings. M. Questioned the requirement that a lot contain at least twice the minimum area required for one dwelling for a guest house. This could be covered under the conditional use permit application and the distance factor as pertaining to possible future division could be addressed in each separate application. Olson will contact the planner, Gunnar Isberg, to arrange a meeting with him and the Planning Commission during the second week of April. Mr. Wear was present. He presented his total signage plan for the Orono Shopping Center. He neects a variance in the height of the street sign of 8* and a setback variance of 5* for the west side yard, as well as a variance for exceeding the total signage allowance. • T.

Their main feeling was that the lettering on the building be consistent. Conceptually they approved the highway gn noting that only external lighting can be used. WILLIAM WEAR 2160 Wayzata Blvd. n^ARIANCE #497 (Cont.) Frahm moved to recommend approval of the 8* height variance and 5' setback variance for the highway sign to a maximum of 96 sq. ft. vi no individual sign exceeding 50 sq. ft. and a maxXmairt of four plaques; and to allow signage on the building 12* x 2* per business to be located within the top 3* of the building. Thi be lighted externally - no flashing allowed. The hardship noted are poor visibility from the east and location of access drive. Motion seconded by Jabbour. Vote; Ayes (5) , Nays (0) . Motion passed unanimously. Mr. and Mrs. Butler were present. Mabusth presented pictures taken by staff showing the existing access. Mr. and Mrs. Milliren, 1345 Rest Point Lane, were present. Mr. Milliren's main concern was that any grading or filling be kept to a minimum. Mr. Butler was opposed to giving up his access on County Road 19 as he felt staff's suggested driveway would make It impossible to turn around and also wanted to retain his additional parking area on County Road 19 ?? being used by his neighbor. He requested that County Road 19 access be used only for ingress and Rest Point Lane used for egress. Hann^ moved to recommend approval of the Conditional Use Permit due to the safety factors caused by the topography of the lot for a circular fashioned entry downhill to ingress off County Road 19 and egress to Rest: Point Lane, based on the following findings: 1. To limit the amount of fill and grading. A newly constructed driveway as suggested by staff to ingress Rest Point Lane would require too much filling and grading within 1,000 feet of shore. This IS what Mr. and Mrs. Milliren opposed. 2. The topography of the lot is very steep. Conditioned upon the following: ^ 1. The eastern access to be removed and seeded. DAVID BUTLER 4685 No. Shore Dr. CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT #537 SAR ita Blvd. It.) s; ^ • MINUTES OF A PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING HELD ON MARCH 3, 1980 PAGE 3 2. The applicant must submit construction plans for the driveway containing the following: proposed elevations, profiles, drainage plans and erosion control steps during and after construction. 3. Relocation of garbage can shelter. 4. Applicant must certify that no gas, telephone, or electrical utilities are in that area. Motion was seconded by Frahm. Vote; Ayes (5), Nays (0). Motion passed unanimously. DAVID BUTLER 4685 No. Shore Dr. CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT #537 (Cont.) 3. Mr. Tibbetts was present. No public comments were heard. Mabusth explained the two phases of this project. It was noted that the house will be an additional 8* from the lake when completed. Wilson it was an ambitious project for this lot, but did state he would approve if the density of the adjacent lots was similar and if this was a situation of completing a neighborhood rehabilitation as opposed to just a beginning. Hannah moved to recommend approval of the variance application based on the following findings: 1. There is no additional land available. 2. It will relocate the house an additional 8* further from the lake. This remodeling will bring the house up to the neighborhood standard. Applicant needs to provide a new raised foundation for the existing structure. Drainage will be improved as the current drainage to the lake will be directed to the sides. This approval should be contingent upon: 1. Removal of the 8* X 21* existing structure during the final phase of construction. 2. Building Inspector to recheck plans for drainage. Motion seconded by Jabbour. Vote: Ayes (3), Nays (2) Wilson and Frahm Motion passed. Frahm was opposed to the application as he cannot approve any hardcover variance of 60% under any circumstance. 4.

Wilson felt it was too ambitious for the lot; however, he again stated he would approve if the density of the surrounding lots was similar and this was the last lot in the area which needed such extensive remodeling to make it consistent with the other houses. STEVEN TIBBETTS 1998 Shadywood Rd. VARIANCE #540 (Cont.) At this point, Mr. Tibbetts questioned if the reasoning behind the submittal deadline wasn't to allow time for Commission members to inspect the site. Mr. Wilson stated that before he could vote to approve the variance he would need a list of surrounding lot siges and densities, particularly hardcover calculations. f.* Mr. and Mrs. Rivers and their attorney, Lou Oberhauser, were present. Oberhauser reviewed the reasons for the application, zoning history and use of subject property through the 60*s and 70*s. Planning Commission was concerned with limiting additional dock use on Tanager Lake. Frahm noted that if the lots with residences were to remain LR-lA this need not be a concern. Since the use of the lakeshore lots bordering Browns Bay have throughout the years been used by the many marina operators, he saw no problem with extending the B-2 zone north including the three Browns Bay parcels. A conditional use permit for marina parking would be required for the two residential lots. A public hearing has been scheduled for March 17, 1980 at 7:45 P.M. Mr. Robert Burton, Ministers Life Development, and Mr. Ron Bastyr, their engineer, were present. Bastyr gave a brief rundown of the proposed plat and showed preliminary plans. The concensus of the Planning Commission was that the plat as proposed was good, however, there was concerns expressed regarding the following: 1. The safety factor of using the currently unsafe access for six residential lots, and 2. The three undersized outlets on Smiths Bay. They felt the plat could be changed to obtain six riparian lots without the use of the outlets,.but the character of the plat would be destroyed. They did not see any problem with the road easement through Lot 2 to serve Lot 3. The developer was advised to contact the County regarding scheduling the realignment of Cty. Rd. 15 as the timing of the plat could be affected by it.
