The applicant has located the' proposed house on Lot 2. Once again, Mr. White will require a rear yard setback variance. I have enclosed the minutes of October 24, 1977 to review the hardships and Council's recommendation to approve the variance: If preliminary approval is recommended, I would suggest the following findings and conditions: Findings 1. Adequate area for two lot subdivision in the RR-IB Zoning District. 2. Septic area and design have been approved by the On-Site Manager for Lot 2 - in addition there is adequate room for expansion of alternate site on Lot 1. 3. Approve variance of 20* for rear yard setback for house on Lot 2. a) One suitable building site for Lot 2 b) Area is 6-*- acres, but property is narrow c) Topography - steep slopes on north west d) Location of existing driveway e) Best location to protect value of existing structure Conditions 1. 2. 3. Lot 2 grant access and utility easements in favor of Lot 1. Existing curb cut and driveway to serve both lots.

Gaede, architect, date^ October 6, 1977, which states: lIANCE Noodhill Road *275 Robert l^ite "Robert F. Ifhite has commissioned this office to develop preliminary site planning and designs for a structure he contemplates on a proposed outlet of his present residence. You have requested a written opinion supporting a code variance in the placement of said structure. We understand he must prove "hardship" for this to be granted. After on-site inspection, we determined the property only marginal to bear the several hundred thousand dollar structure contemplated. The logic for this opinion follows: 1. There is one suitable location for a structure: Southwest portion is too narrow where it abuts Woodhill Road. Severe grades on the northwest portion would affect building costs substantially and adversely. Eastern portion's view is to Woodhill Country Cltib dump ground, thus unsuitable. Percolation tests indicate substantial land usage required on east side, as well, to accommodate drain field within code due to extensive clay. Location of present driveway is highly restrictive. Contour of adjacent land prohibits moving it, in addition to affecting aesthetics of present residence. The appropriate building site is at narrowest "neck" of the property, coincidentally its apex. We deem it marginal. c. d. Contemplated structure will be between 35-50 feet wide, west facing and in excess of 100 feet long, south facing. The fifty foot setback requirement, plus structure, plus access drive leaves virtually no yard capability or buffer zone. We viewed property prior to seasonal foliage. Proposed structure is dangerously close, aesthetically, to present house. Extreme care is necessary to prevent the two structures clashing — every possible foot that can separate them is vital. ^ Value* of present house could be severe..y affected if new one is "in its lap"'. (Continued) RBGUIAR MEETING OF THE ORONO COIJIICIL, OCTOBER 24, 1977 1l Page 23 PdSr this reasonf we have advised our client not to utilize said site unless a variance is obtained. From his standpoint, we consider this a most valid hardship as he is anxious to remain at this location. We %rould prefer a 20 foot setback, ideally. VARIANCE 320 Woodhill Road (Continued) He shall be pleased to respond in greater detail and with attendant graphics if necessary, although we are hopeful such expense may be spared our client Robert C. Geade, AIA End of letter Council Meeting' - October 24, 1977 ^ o ^^ o w Mayor Van Nest moved, Butler seconded, to approve the variance request of Robert F. ffhite, 320‘Woodhill Road, subject to: 1. 2. 3. Mr. Ifhite's approval of this letter. Woodhill Country Club approval. Noting that this is new information demonstrating a hardship. Motion, Ayes (4) - Nays (0). Mr. Alan Olson, Assistant Building & Zoning Administrator, entered into the record the following information for a proposed private road name for Van Eeckhout Subdivision, 400 Old Crystal Bay Road, dated October 19, 1977, which states: PRIVATE ROAD NAME 400 Old Crystal Bay Road The developers and property owners of this property have requested the City to approve a separate name for this private road. On future subdivisions, staff would like to have this agreed upon prior to final approval, but in some past divisions, the matter of naming the access was not addressed. In this case, seven names were submitted as listed on the attached letter. Names 1, 3 a 7 have been rejected by staff due to similarities with existing street names. The final choice is left to the Council's discretion. The following list was submitted for consideration: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7.

William B. Van Nest, Mayor ATTEST; Walter R. Benson, City Administrator Page 2 of 2 TOs FROM: Planning Comnission and Council Jeanne Mabusth, Zoning Administrator #54 DATE: November 13, 1980 I'UBJECT: #545 Bruce Hepp, 2605 West Lafayette Road - SUBDIVISION At the last meeting. Planning Commission advised the applicant that they would be ready to act on his subdivision application at the November 17th meeting. The commission approved the lagoon area for ripari»»'‘ t. Riparian access would be granted through a joint use dock e’'- « i.at and access via a 10' walkway easement granted by lakeshore xv. ri* favor of non-lakeshore lot. Staff has some concern with this type of approach. With this method the riparian rights are not designated on the plat and its existence only appears as a condition of approval in the final resolution. In future dealings, how would the administrative staff recognize such arrangements? Might this not encourage other property owners to employ the same vehicle and create such uses without formal subdivision approval? A riparian outlot that would house the joint use dock area would be clearly designated and in addition require City approval through subdivision regulations. If the subdivision is to be approved the following findings and conditions should be considered. Findings: 1. Adequate area for 2 lot subdivision in the LR-IB Zoning District Lot 1-1.6 acres; Lot 2-1 acre 2. Sufficient sewer and water capacity for Lot 2. 3. Both lots qualify for riparian rights - lagoon area to be protected; access via main lake. 4.Adequate area of pvtblic street providing access for three lots based on following hardships: a) cul-de-sac lot has limited frontage on public street. b) City encouraged third user of access by creating access easement for Hannah lot - the repercussions of agreeing to this easement were not made clear to original owner and future buyer (Hepp). Conditions: 1.Creation of riparian outlot to house joint dock - maximum of two boats either stored, moored or docked for each lot. 2. 3. Walkway easement created in favor of Lot 2 by Lot 1. Open space easement over lagoon area. 4. Driveway and utility easement created in favor of Lot 1 by Lot 2. November 13, 1980 #545 Bruce Hepp 2605 W. Lafayette Road SUBDIVISION Page 2 5. Park dedication fee of $400.00. 6. 7. Coninon access for all three lots. Proposed house must be setback a minimum of 10* from each driveway easement - 20* wide easement serving Lots 1 t 2 - 14* wide easement serving Hannah property. 8. All structures must be setback 75* from shoreline of lagoon. If denied, the following findings should be considered; 1. Insufficient footage on public street to allow for a third user of existing access. 2. No apparent hardships demonstrated to allow for a subdivision requiring a variance. 3. Inadequate findings to support claim for riparian access for two lots. 4. Impossible to position a house of comparable size in neighborhood on Lot 2 because of the intersecting driveways, lagoon setback and need to set back house 35* from edge of both easements. f/ Ib ’tch for Pr*ir« F, Mono in I.ot,s 9 «nd 1C, liMorn HiDs Ik^nnooin Ccimty, Minnosoia > ■ • .t— SurvAyor's Str.tanont: I hArebgr certify that thlo la a true and cor> met akaich of U>t 9 ^ and part of Lot 10, | Shore Hllla, for tho *■ sola purinaa of local- Ing tlM buildings and shoreline.

Subsequent to that time, due to the state of the economy and other difficulties, my plans for construction of a new bank building on part of the above tract have been in the process of reconsideration. However, recently it was called to my attention that the due date for the filing of the final plat was drawing near. In response to this reminder, I have arranged to contact Mr. John A. Peterson of C. E. Coulter 6 Associates, Inc., surveyors, who did the original survey work for me in connection with this property. In anticipation that we will most likely go ahead with our plans for the bank building, I have made arrangements with Mr. Peterson to proceed Immediately with the work of preparing the final plat. I now understand that the submission of the final plat not only involves the work that needs to be done by Mr. Peterson, but also requires prior approval of the plat by the Hennepin County Highway Department, the Hennepin County Surveyor's office, and the drafting department of the Registrar of Titles' office (this being torrens' property) before the plat can be submitted to you for approval, and that these prior approvals can take a number of weeks, particularly since we are now approaching the holiday season. I sincerely regret that my lack of information and delay in reactivating these proceedings now make it appear unlikely that a submittal of the final plat could take place before December 12, 1980 and that a more realistic date would be January 26, 1981. This is on the basis of an estimate received from Mr. Peterson. ,iiS IIIJI _ _ _ w 71 telephone 4737357 /CITY of ORONO PoelOmce Uo* 66»Cry»Ul Bey, MinneeoU 55323 • Municipal Officee On the North Shore of Lake Minnetonka Noveinber 12, 1980 Nr.
