(#4) PRESENTATION OF THE CITY’S 1999 COMPREHENSIVE ANNUAL nNANCIAL REPORT Ken Malloy, Auditor with Malloy, Montague, Kanmowski, Radosevich and Company, P.A., indicated the City has been supplied with a copy of the annual audit of the City’s finances and a brief summary of the City’s financial condition. City Finance Director Tom Kuehn was at the presentation with Ken Malloy. Malloy stated his firm has reviewed the City’s financial information and has found that the City is in very good financial condition. Malloy stated they have also reviewed the City’s records to insure that they are in compliance with State Laws. Malloy indicated the City’s financial records are in very good condition and are in compliance with the legal requirements. Malloy stated in comparison with other cities throughout the state, the City of Orono is close to the state-wide averages. Malloy noted the City of Orono receives the majority' of its General Fund revenues through property ta.\es and user fees. Malloy indicated generally speaking market values are increasing, with the general fund and other funds being in good condition. Malloy noted the income received from the golf course has been dw'indling slightly over the past few years. Mayor Jabbour commented in his opinion there is a flaw' in the system with comparing the City of Orono to other cities throughout the State of Minnesota. Jabbour indicated the City of Orono, since it is located in the Twin Cities area, pays its employees a higher salary than cities located outside the metropolitan area. Malloy acknowledged that is a good point that should be taken into consideration. Flint commented that he was surprised Orono’s market value rates increased less than the average throughout the state. Flint stated due to the sales of property located along the lakeshore, he was under the impression Orono’s property values were increasing rapidly. Malloy stated those are the statistics he has from the State for the City of Orono. Flint inquired whether the City would have information relating to the sales in this area. Moorse commented the City Assessor would have that information and can verify' those numbers. Mayor Jabbour thanJ:ed Malloy and Kuehn on their fine work for the City.

Jabbour stated if the Dakota Rail is converted to a trail, there will no longer be trains running on this line. Jabbour expressed concern that the members of the LaFayette Club did not speak with the City prior to issuing the resolution, noting that their understanding of the project is not totally correct. Jabbour encouraged the Parks Commission to continue to pursue ti.e Dakota Rail to trail project. Flint noted that Woodhill Country Club is in support of the Dakota Rail to trail project. Jabbour commented the members of the Woodhill Country Club did request the City address the pros and cons of this particular project prior to making a determination on whether to support the project. LAKE MINNETONKA CONSERVATION DISTRICT - Lili McMillan, Representative None PLANNING COMMISSION COMMENTS - Daniel Kluth, Representative Kluth noted a public hearing and open house has been scheduled to discuss the revised Comprehensive Plan. Kluth stated the members of the Planning Commission have been reviewing the Comprehensive Plan. Kluth commended the members of City Staff for their fine work on revising the City’s Comprehensive Plan. Kluth reported the Planning Commission has been meeting with the Long Lake Planning Commission in an attempt to improve communications and determine common areas of interest where the two cities could work together on planning issues. PUBLIC COMMENTS None PAGE 3 MINUTES OF THE ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING AUGUST 28, 2000 ZONING ADMINISTRATOR’S REPORT (#5) #2593 ACE PROPERTIES, 3349 CRYSTAL BAY ROAD - VARIANCES RESOLUTION NO. 4512 Gary Gnifflce and Larr>- Palm, Ace Properties, were present. Weinberger stated the Applicants are requesting approval of variances to permit construction cf a new house on a lot located on Cry stal Bay Road that is undersized for the zoning district. The existing house and garage total 1,080 square feet of structure and are located one foot off the east property line. The Applicants are proposing to construct a new structure consisting of 1,082 square feet, which would be located in the center of the propert>' meeting the ten foot side yard setback requirements. Weinberger stated the storage shed and a large wood deck that’s located on the railroad right-of-way would be removed, with the lot being cleared for new construction. Weinberger stated variances are needed to hardcover, rear yard setback, and to permit new construction on the non-conforming lot. The Plaiming Commission has reviewed this application and has recommended approval of the variances subject to the finding that this lot has existed as a developed parcel for many years, with the proposed development being consistent with other new construction in the area. Weinberger stated the lot consists of 4,901 square feet and was platted and developed prior to the adoption of the zoning ordinance. Weinberger stated in order to establish an adequate setback to the lakeshore and Ciy'stal Bay Road, an eight foot setback to the rear property line is appropriate. The size of the proposed house is consistent with the size of the c.xisting house, with the Applicants having made every effort to reduce the size of the residence to meet the objectives of the Comprehensive Plan for protection of Lake Minnetonka. Weinberger stated an adjacent property owner did express concerns about the development because it would obstruct a lake view' from the neighboring residence over the neighbor’s property. Currently the adjacent residence can look over a deck located above the garage. The proposed sight line will be blocked because the Applicants are proposing to construct a two-story house where a one-story house currentlj' exists. Weinberger stated by relocating the new house to the center of the property, some issues to drainage and hardcover have been improved. City Staff recommends approval of the application. Flint stated he wanted to discuss the concerns of the neighbor and to give the adjoining property owner an opportunity to speak to those issues. Flint noted the adjacent property owner is not present at tonight's meeting. Kelley inquired whether the neighbor was notified of tonight’s meeting. Weinberger stated the City Council meeting was announced at the Planning Commission meeting. Kelley moved, Peterson seconded, to approve and adopt RESOLUTION NO. 4512, a Resolution granting variances to permit new construction on a lot located at 3349 Crystal Bay Road. VOTE: Ayes 5, Nays 0.

VOTE: Ayes 5, Nays 0. ^UYOR/COUNCIL REPORT Mayor Jabbour noted the City has been invited to attend a meeting with the City of Plymouth on September 15***, and inquired whether any member of the City Council could attend this meeting. Mayor Jabbour indicated he will be out of town and unable to attend the meeting. Moorse commented either the Police Chief or someone from Staff should be able to attend the meeting. Mayor Jabbour stated the issue regarding garbage and debris at the local lake access points is an issue that has been discussed previously. Jabbour stated he has spoken with the DNR in Ae past who has indicated they do clean up the lake access points on Mondays. Jabbour indicated he has discussed several ways to help keep these areas cleaner. Jabbour inquired what the Parks Commission would like to see occur at these lake access points. Halvorson commented in her view the people utilizing the fishing and swimming piers are the ones who are leaving the debris and garbage behind, noting that there currently are no trash receptables available at most of the lake access points. Halvorson stated if trash receptacles are made available, that may eliminate most of the garbage in the area. Mayor Jabbour requested Citv Staff speak with Martha Reger of the DNR about this issue. Mayor Jabbour reported the additional police patrol on Lake Minnetonka is still being pursued. Jabbour commented in his view there is a good chance this item will be approved. Mayor Jabbour thanked the news reporter from the Weekly for reporting on the City Council meetings, noting that he will be retiring soon. Kelley noted a Fire Department Buildings Committee meeting has been scheduled for September 14 at 4:00 p.m. Mayor Jabbour noted the City of Orono has prevailed in the two law suits filed against the City regarding tree removal and grading on the lakeshore. Jabbour encouraged the residents of the City to work with the Cit\' as much as possible to avoid the need to enter into litigation. PAGE 5 r.

As Mayor Rockvam indicates in his letter, it is gratifying to receive positive feedback regarding the quality of service provided by the Orono Police Department. High quality police services require each member of the Department to contribute to the overall departmental effort. The exceptional knowledge of all aspects of law enforcement Officer Erickson has developed through his 20 years of service on the Orono Police Department is an important ingredient in the quality of service provided by the Department. The commendation shows what can happen when the knowledge and abilities of the police officers are provided as a resource to assist a business in addressing and preventing problems. As is the Police Department’s policy, copies of the commendation letters have been provided to Officer Erickson, placed into his personnel file, and posted on the Police bulletin board. In addition, a resolution recognizing Officer Erickson is attached for Council consideration.

Officer Kurt Erickson is truly a first class asset to the City of Spring Park, as spelled out in Presbyterian s letter. It is refreslung to get positive feedback in a letter such as this one, because, as you know aU too well, in the public arena not all correspondence about police officers is favorable.

The lots average about one acre in size in a two acre zoning district. By reducing the number of lots the average lot size would increase. 2. The Planning Commission requested additional information regarding certain wetland determinations and regrading that may have occurred within a protected wetland. (Please refer to item No. 1 in the Application Summary below.) The applicant ’s representative requested the Planning Commission vote on the proposal to allow the item to be discussed with the City Council. Application Summary: The City Council tabled this item on February 14,2000 to permit the applicant to review two primary issues. To complete additional soil borings to determine total drv buildable area of the property. The wetland delineation report Indicated only 13.7 acres of drv buildable area which would allow only 6 lots based on the two acre per dwelling unit permitted density in the RR-IB district. Wetlands have been reevaluated by Svoboda Ecological Resources. Svoboda has determined two wetland areas originally identified as wetland should not have been. The total land designated as wetland on the property Is 6.05 acres. The total area is 20.17 acres resultiiig in an upland area of 14.1 acres. The two acre zoning of the property would allow a maximum of 7 lois based on one residential unit per ^vo acres should the PRD be approved. r- 5 Request for Council Action continued Page 2 September 7,2000 #2550 Charles Van Eeckhout_______ The City of Orono and Minnehaha Creek Watershed District are reviewing the wetland delineation for those areas that were deleted as a result of the re-evaluation. Those areas in question were identified on the City’s 1974 Wetland Inventory and are protected. The MCWD is the LGU and is the organization that has the authority to approve wetland delineations, they will be reviewing the site on September 7,2000. Orono has not received confirmation of the wetland determination by the MCWD as of the date of this memo. 2.To secure legal access to the property. Access to the properties would require the applicant to obtain an easement or additional land from an adjacent Dropertv owner since this property does not have immediate access to a public or private road. Th? only access to the parcel is via a “driveway easement” across an adjacent property. Mr. Van Eeckhout has stated he has been unable to obtain a “roadway easement” to access Brown Road. A new plan has been proposed that would request access to the lots from Apple Glen Road. Apple Glen Road is a public road owned and controlled by the City of Long Lake. Mr. Van Eeckhout has made a request to Long Lake for road access from Apple Glen as well as connection to sewer. Long Lake has directed Mr. Van Eeckhout to seek plan approval from the City of Orono before they will review the request for road access and sewer connection. Shannon Sweeney, City Administrator for Long Lake, has submitted a letter regarding this issue attached as Exhibit J. Revised Plan: This is the first proposal that would request access from Apple Glen Road in Long Lake. Apple Glen Road serves about 14 residences. The added length of the street would add as many as 7 additional lots to Apple Glen. The total length of the cul-de-sac from Watertown Road is approximately 1,600 feet where Orono City code allows a maximum cul de-sac length of 1,000 feet. The RR-1B zoning district allows a property to develop as a PRD as a conditional use. Under the PRD the City can establish setbacks for each of the lots. The dry buildable areas of lots 1,2,3 and 7 are limited and are between 1/2 acre to I acre dry buildable. These 4 lots also are similar to the lots located north of the development in the City of Long Lake. The proposed setbacks shown on the site plan indicate a 35' front yard setback. 10' side yard setback and a 30' rear setback. The established setbacks are similar to other lots in Orono that are zoned 1/2 acre to I acre in size. The subdivision request would require the following approvals; 1.A Conditional Use Permit for a Planned Residential Development — This would allow the property to develop at a two acre density using cluster development and preservation space. Road width variance and a variance to allow the road to be developed at less than the minimum requirements. The Subdivision Code requires a minimum paved width for property serving 7 or more sites to develop the road at a 28’ width. \ ..... Request for Council Action continued Page 3 September 7,2000 ^2550 Charles Van Eeckhout_______ 3.The property is located outside of the Metropolitan Urban Services Area (MUSA). A MUSA will have to be approved by the City Council and the Met Council to provide sewer to the site. 4.Public vs. Private Road: Apple Glen Road is a public road. The Comprehensive Plan suggests roads in the rural portion of Orono be developed as private roads. However, the road would be an extension of a public road, for maintenance purposes it may be appropriate to continue the entire road as public. The primary difference is the way the road has been proposed to be constructed. Apple Glen Road is a City Street with urban sections (curbing). The proposed road would be developed with rural sections. A private road would be owned and maintained by a homeowners association. Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends tabling the application to allow additional wetland review by the MCWD. COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED: To provide direction to the applicant regarding the following issues: 1. 2. 3. Access via Apple Glen Road vs. Brown Road South. If the road access is approved by the City of Long Lake, would the new road be private or public. (The Comprehensive Plan has stated rural developments to be platted with private roads owned and maintained by a Homeowner’s Association. Apple Glen Road is a public road.) Should the four lots located on the north end of the proposed development (proposed Lots 1,2, 3 and 7) be reduced in number, per the Planning Commission recommendation. The lots average about one acre in size in a two acre zoning district. By reducing the number of lots the average lot size would increase. sc - f fCAU V / \ % \ l! \S\'N ,^- *‘y/ i I \ \*\ \^ ■■. •K 5^: T n 2 \ V ilH N/^ r"^- ‘K. ^ s \\ r^r< - \ / ■k/" Wr-\ •V, \ I I ‘;I 1 I • ‘ ^ •** ^ • I /'.'/'/< ‘•ji'/'•'/' v-'C ‘•^'f A" ' ■'• KNOWL NOTES: TOTAL MICA CROSS AREA PER LOT UPLAND WETLAND 20.17 ACRES 2.88 ACRES 14.1 ACRES 6.07 ACRES \' V \\ 1 ' 1 I ■ ,• ■■.! \ '. ’. » '\ ,M}« ' ‘'' ^\\V\I - \ \' .

The Certificate of Mailing and Affidavit of Publication were noted. Weinberger stated this application was tabled by the City Council at Its February 14,2000 meeting to allow the Applicant time to review two primary issues that were being discussed in relation to this development. Weinberger stated this development is located on South Brown Road and consists of approximately 20 acres, 14.1 acres of which are dry buildable. Weinberger stated the last plan by the Applicant was proposing to gain access to this development through a tract of land owned by PAGL7 * ^ ^ i-A ‘rT I MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING AUGUST 21,2000 John Dunn. The Applicant has indicated he is unable at this time to obtain a roadway easement to access Brown Road and has submitted a new plan that requests access to the lots from Apple Glen Road, which is a public road owned and controlled by the City of Long Lake. Weinberger noted the Applicant has requested Long Lake grant road access from Apple Glen as well as connection to sewer. The City of Long Lake is requesting the City of Orono review this plan prior to their review. Weinberger stated the revised plan shows Apple Glen Road being extended, with another road with two cul-de-sacs on the north side to serve those four lots. Weinberger indicated the Applicant has completed the additional soil borings necessary to determine the total dry buildable area of the property. The wetlands in this area have been re-evaluated and it has been determined that two wetland areas originally identified as wetland should not have been, w'ith the total land designated as wetland on this property consisting of 6.05 acres. This results in a total dry buildable area of 14.1 acres. Weinberger noted the two acre zoning of the property would allow a ma.\imum of seven lots based on one residential unit per two acres should the PRD be approved. Weinberger stated the second issue was to secure access to this property, which is not currently resolved. Weinberger stated in order for this subdivision to be approved, a conditional use permit for a Planned Residential Development needs to be approved, which would allow the property to be developed at a two acre density using cluster development and preservation space. Weinberger noted a road width variance and a variance to allow the road to be developed at less than the minimum requirements is requested, with the Applicant requesting to construct a 24 foot roadway, Weinberger noted City Code requires a minimum paved width for roadways serving seven or more sites to be constructed at 28 feet, with Apple Glen Road being 26 feet wide. PAGES MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMlvnSSION MEETING AUGUST 21,2000 h. Weinberger stated since this property is outside the MUSA area, it would require an amendment to be approved by the City Council and the Metropolitan Council to provide sewer to the site, with approval by the City of Long Lake also being necessary. Weinberger stated access to sewer is available along Apple Glen Road. Weinberger stated this area lies within the Tanager Lake drainage district. The DNR has requested that the wetland area on this property be protected by the granting of conservation easements on all wetland areas, the Long Lake Creek, and all the property south of the creek, with open space being preserved south of the creek. The Applicant has agreed to place conservation and open space easements to protect the creek and to maintain the natural buffer between the trail and the developed land north of the creek. Weinberger stated City Staff feels the proposed preliminary plat is in a format that could be recommended for approval subject to the following conditions: 1. Prior to City Council approving the Preliminary' Plat, the Applicant shall secure access from the City of Long Lake to Apple Glen Road, be approved for sanitary sewer connection, and the Met Council shall approve a MUSA extension. 2. - The road shall be constructed to a width consistent with road dimensions of Apple Glen Road. The City of Long Lake shall be requested for comments regarding construction and maintenance of the road. 3. Standard drainage and utility easements along the property lines w ill be required for final plat. 4. Granting of Conservation and Flowage easements across the wetlands and ponding areas located within the development. Language in the easement documents shall restrict land alteration and removal of vegetation in all wetland areas and within 75’ of Long Lake Creek. 5. Conservation easements shall be granted over the conservation areas on proposed lots 3,4,5 and 6. PAGE 9 K- MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING AUGUST 21,2000 6. Drainage casements shall be dedicated on the plat across drainageways and pond areas. 7. Utility and Roadway easements shall be granted over Outlet A. 8. Subdividcr shall satisfy all concerns and requirements noted in the letter dated August 14,2000, by the City Engineer. Bergh commented the first concern expressed by the Planning Commission at the last meeting was the small lot size on the north, noting the consensus was to either eliminate a lot or to achieve bigger lot spacing. Bergh stated by having the roadway as proposed, it will create a better roadway system and affords the developer the ability to spread the lots out more. Hawn inquired what the size of the lots on the north side is. Lindquist stated he would like to know the dry buildable area on each lot. Bergh indicated he docs not have the numbers with him tonight, but to his recollection Lot 1 U just over three-quarters of an acre, all dry buildable; Lot 2 is approximately eight-tenths of an acre, wiih approximately 80 to 90 percent dry buildable; Lot 7 is all dry buildable, and Lot 3 is approximately 30 percent dry buildable but still contains a large dry buildable area consisting of approximately three-quarters to one acre. Hawn noted the City of Orono has received two letters from residents of Long Lake opposing the extension of Apple Glen Road. Hawn noted when the wetlands were remeasured, there was mention made to a ditch that apparently %vas not there in 1996 and also to some fill that hadn’t been there in 1996. Hawn inquired where the ditch and fill came from. Bergh stated he is uncertain of the exact history' of the ditch and fill, but a wooden ditch exists in the area, with the creekway having been re-dug, which reduced the water level in this area, and resulted in the area becoming dry buildable. Bergh stated the only fill he is aware of is in the area of Lot 7. PAGE 10 L, '4" j ( r, >• f ^^NUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COM\nSSION MEETING AUGUST 21,2000 Tom Woolin, 20 Apple Glen Road, stated Apple Glen Road currently has a cul-de-sac, which he would like to see remain. Woolin stated he is opposed to the extension of the road due to the extra trafiBc that it would bring and the additional safety concerns for the young children in the area that would result from the added traffic. Melanie Wollin stated she is in agreement with her husband. April Bresner, 50 Apple Glen Road, expressed concerns with extension of the street since Apple Glen Road is a narrower road and the added traffic. Mary Ann Hansen, 64 Creekside Drive, Long Lake, stated it was her understanding this area was part of a state refuge when she purchased her property three years ago. Hansen stated there currently are signs denoting the area as a state refuge, with a large number of wildlife living in the area. Ken and Judy Bigelow, 32 Apple Glen Road, stated they were opposed to the extension of the road. ► • John Dunn, 20 South Brown Road, stated he owns the adjoining property to this development, and it is his impression the Applicant has done quite a bit of ditching on the property. Dunn also expressed concern regarding the small size of the lots. April Bresner questioned whether once an area is designated as a wetland, regardless if a ditch is constructed and the area is now deemed dry buildable, if that area is still considered to be a wetland. Stoddard stated there are many standards that go into designating an area as wetland, with the presence of water and flora being the two primary criteria used in determining whether the area should be considered a wetland. Stoddard stated the characteristics of the land can change. Stoddard stated the DNR can designate certain areas as wetlands, with the City of Orono protecting additional wetland area beyond the DNR designations. PAGE 11 fk. MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COM^^SSION MEETING AUGUST 21,2000 Bcrgh noted this area has never been delineated as a wetland. Weinberger stated the original delineation for this area was revised, with the area in question not being designated as a wetland. HawTi commented she has some concerns regarding the sand and fill having been found. Hawn inquired if City Staff has any information concerning where that fill may have come from. Weinberger stated the only information the City has is that it may have come from the excavation of the creekbed area. Weinberger stated he is not aware of when the area may have been filled or where the area was filled. Hawn commented it is her understanding this area was wetland in 1998. Dunn stated he has seen backhoes and tractors at various times in that area, which in his opinion was done in an attempt to lower the water table in that area and to create a buildable area. Hawa stated she does not know whether that is in fact the case. Dunn stated from a lay person’s perspective, something has occurred in the area to have lowered the water table from what it was in 1998. Bergh stated if this area was truly a w'etland area, excavation of the creek area would not result in a low’er water table. Bergh stated it is his understanding from Mr. Sobotta and Mr. Van Eeckhout is that the watershed going away fiom this propertj' was lowered at some time and lowered the water table in this whole area. Bergh stated by digging the creekbed out would result in the creek being filled with w ater if this was a true wetland, which has not occurred. Bergh stated the outlet w as changed to the east of this property somewhere, which resulted in the lower water table, and he is not aware of where that change occurred. Hawn commented the Planning Commission will probably not be able to gain a clear understanding of the ditch and fill at tonight’s meeting. Hawn expressed a concern regarding the small lot size. PAGE 12 MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING AUGUST 21,2000 1 K Lindquist commented the Planning Commission is looking at some vei>' small lot sizes, noting he cannot support a project with those lot sizes. Lindquist noted there is a fair amount of opposition from the residents of Long Lake to the extension of Apple Glen Road. Hawn concurred that there is not a lot of support for the extension of Apple Glen Road among the residents of Long Lake. Kluth conunented the minutes reflect that the Planning Commission has e.xpressed concerns on a number of occasions regarding the small lot size, with a recommendation being given to lower the number of lots in this development. Hawn commented the amount of dry buildable was increased slightly. Lindquist indicated the size of the lots still remain relatively small, and reiterated he would not be in support of the development as proposed. Stoddard noted he was in agreement with Lindquist. Kluth noted the City Council minutes reflect that hookup to sewer would not be allowed if it • • • increased lot density, noting the City Council would prefer to see a frvo acre minimum. Kluth pointed out the Applicant was requested to address the issues relating to dr\- buildable and access. Bergh stated the overdl average for the lots in this development are a little over two acres with respect to the PRD. Hawn commented that there are some minimum sizes that people tend to be interested in regardless if the overall lot size is above the two acre minimum. Lindquist stated the Planning Commission can cither act on this application tonight, which in his view it will be denied, or the Applicant can request the matter be tabled. Bergh requested the Planning Commission act on the revised plan. Hawn moved, Kluth seconded, to recommend denial of Application #2550, Charles Van Eeckhout, 120 South Brown Road, due to the concerns expressed regarding access and PAGE 13 MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING AUGUST 21,2000 small lot siie. VOTE: Ayes 6, Nays 0. Hawn stated the Applicant should obtain additional information regarding the ditch and fill in this area prior to api>earing before the City Council. Bergh indicated tonight was the first time he became aware of it. Weinberger noted the City has requested an updated wetland delineation report and e.\planation regarding the fill. Hawn pointed out a hearing will also be held before the Long Lake Planning Commission and City Council regarding extension of Apple Glen Road. CONTINUED PUBLIC HEARINGS (#5) #2603 JAMES RENCKENS, 3020 WATERTOWN ROAD, CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT AND VARIANCES, 7:47 p.m. - 7:52 p.m. Todd Irvine appeared on behalf of the Applicant. The Certificate of Mailing and Affidavit of Publication were noted. Bottenberg stated the Applicant is requesting a variance and conditional use permit to permit the removal of approximately 1,600 yards of fill out of a City of Orono protected wetland. The pond would consist of approximately 16,000 square feet of surface area, with the ma.ximum depth being proposed at five feet. The proposed slope would be a 10:1 ratio. The wetland would become a wildlife habitat pond with water and a nesting island in the middle. The fill w ill be used to form berms on the left and right sides of the driveway along Watertown Road and a berm south of the pond. City Staff feels the e.xcavation of the wetland will make it aT>-pe 4 wetland, w ith the proposed land alterations resulting in a positive improvement and provide a Wgher quality wetland for PAGE 14 ' * ' 3 0 To:Chair Hawn and Orono Planning Commissioners Ron Moorse, City Administrator From:Paul Weinberger, Zoning Administrator/Planner Date:August 14,2000 Re:#2550 Charles Van Eeckhout 120 South Brown Road Zoning District:RR-IB, Single Family Rural Residential, 2 Acre minimum lot size Comprehensive Plan:Rural Service/Rural Residential (2 acre) Site Area:20 acres (14.1 acres dry buildable) Proposal:Seven lot subdivision requiring sanitary sewer service.

To complete additional soil borings to determine total dr%- buildable area of the property. The wetland delineation report indicated onlv 13.7 acres of drv buildable area which would allow only 6 lots based on the two acre per dwelling unit permitted density in the RR-IB district. Wetlands have been reevaluated by Svoboda Ecological Resources. It has been determined two wetland areas originally identified as wetland should not have been. The total land designated as wetland on the property is 6.05 acres. The total area is 20.17 acres resulting in an upland area of 14.1 acres. The two acre zoning of the property would allow a ma.\imum of 7 lots based on one residential unit per two acres should the PRD be approved. i '' 2.To secure legal access to the property. Access to the properties would require the applicant to obtain an easement or additional land from an adjacent property owner since this property does not have immediate access to a public or private road. The onlv access to the parcel is via a “driveway easement” across an adjacent property. Mr. Van Eeckhout has stated he has been unable to obtain a “roadway easement” to access Brown Road. A new plan has been proposed that would request access to the lots from Apple Glen Road. Apple Glen Road is a public road owned and controlled by the City of Long Lake. Mr. Van Eeckhout has made a request to Long Lake for road access from Apple Glen as well as connection to sewer. Long Lake has directed Mr. Van Eeckhout to seek plan approval from the City of Orono before they will review the request for road access and sew'er connection. Shannon Sweeney, City Administrator for Long Lake, has submitted a letter regarding this issue attached as Exhibit J. Revised Plan: This is the first proposal that would request access from Apple Glen Road in Long Lake. Apple Glen Road serves about 14 residences. The added length of the street would add as many as 7 additional lots to Apple Glen. The total length of the cul-de-sac from Watertown Road is approximately 1,600 feet where Orono City code allows a maximum cul-de-sac length of 1,000 feet. Outlot A would provide driveway access to at least one property. The RR-IB zoning district allows a property to develop as a PRD as a conditional use. Under the PRD the City can establish setbacks for each of the lots. The dry buildable areas of lots 1,2,3 and 7 are limited and are between 1/2 acre to 1 acre dry buildable. The lots also are similar to the lots located north of the development in the City of Long Lake. The proposed setbacks shown on the site i^2550 Charles Tj/i Eeckhout 120 Brown Road South Subdivision B 2l 00 pag*-2 plan indicate a 35' front yard setback, 10' side yard setback and a 30' rear setback. The established setbacks are similar to other lots in Orono that are zoned 1/2 acre to 1 acre in size. The subdivision request would require the following approvals; 1. A Conditional Use Permit for a Planned Residential Development - This would allow the property to develop at a two acre density using cluster development and preservation space. 2. Road width variance and a variance to allow the road to be developed at less than the minimum requirements. The Subdivision Code requires a minimum paved width for property serving 7 or more sites to develop the road at a 28' width. 3. The property is located outside of the Metropolitan Urban Services Area (MUSA). A MUSA amendment shall be approved by the City Council and the Met Council to provide sewer to the site. 4. Public vs. Private Road; Apple Glen Road is a public road. The Comprehensive Plan suggests roads in the rural portion of Orono be developed as private roads. However, the road would be an extension of a public road, for maintenance purposes it may be appropriate to continue the entire road as public. The primary difference is the way the road has been proposed to be constructed. Apple Glen Road is a City Street with urban sections (curbing). The proposed road would be developed with rural sections. A private road would be owned and maintained by a homeowners association. Sketch Plan The City Council and Planning Commission have reviewed the proposal as part of the Sketch Plan review process. Please note the attached Minutes (Exhibits J and K). The Cit>- Council recommended to the property owner the City of Orono has no intent to rezone the property from the two acre standard. The Council has indicated they would consider developing the site as a PRD and make a provision for sewer. Planned Residential Development The RR-IB zoning district allows, by conditional use permit, the property to develop as a Planned Residential Development (PRD). The purpose of a Planned Residential Development is to enhance the appearance of neighborhoods through preservation of natural open spaces, to counteract the 1^2550 Charles Van Eeckhout 120 Brown Road South Subdivision B 21/00 pagt~3 Ji-vT effects of urban congestion and monotony, to provide cohesive structure to neighborhood design, to offer recreation opportunities close to home, and to aid in improving the welfare in general of City residents. Section 10.32, Subdivision 1. Conservation easements would protect all wetland areas, the Long Lake Creek and all the property south of the creek. Open space would be preserved south of the creek. The DNR had concerns with the development of the land south of the creek. A permanent crossing of the creek would have been required. The developer has agreed to place the conservation and open space easement to protect the creek and to maintain the natural buffer between the trail and developed land north of the creek. Drainage and Ponding The draft version of the City's Comprehensive Stormwater Management Plan shows that the site lies within the Tanager Lake drainage district. The ponding location is shown on the preliminary survey. Final grading plans should include final pond grading including a 10:1 aquatic bench lO-feet wide at the pond normal water level. The outlet structures shall be provided on the final plans indicating the location and actual size of the pond. The City Engineer will require Best Management Practices in all areas where stormwater can not be treated by the NURP pond. (City Engineer comments are attached as Exhibit H) Sanitary Sewer The City of Long Lake must approve sewer connection to the property. Due to the existing water table and the location of the DNR waterway, Long Lake Creek, this site is environmentally sensitive area. Without sewer it would be difficult to develop this site. Surrounding Properties The property abuts the City of Long Lake to the north, where properties are provided with sewer and the minimum zoning lot size is 10,000 s.f. (approx 1/4 acre). The property abuts the Luce Line trail on the south, and on the east and west abuts neighboring rural residential properties in Orono zoned PR-IB. To the south of the Luce Line is the Fox Ridge neighborhood containing 7 lots averaging 1 acre in area, developed in the 1960's. Easements 1. 2. Standard drainage and utility easements along the property lines will be required for the final plat. Subdivider shall grant Conservation and Flowage easements across the wetlands and ponding areas located within the development. Language in the easement documents shall restrict land alteration and removal of vegetation in all wetland areas and w ithin 75' of Long Lake Creek. 1^2550 Charles yan Eeckhout 120 Brown Road South Subdivision 8/21/00 page-4 3.Conservation easements shall be granted over the conservation areas on proposed Lots 3,4, 5 and 6. 4. Drainage easements shall be dedicated on the plat across drainageways and pond areas. 5. Utility and Roadway easements shall be granted over Outlot A. Park Dedication Fee 8% of the land value, to be determined by the City Assessor, will be required for Park Dedication Fee. The City of Orono has established a minimum park dedication fee per lot of $2,900 and a maximum of $4,900 per lot. Shoreland Overlay 1. Long Lake Creek is a protected tributary and requires a 75’ setback for hardcover and structure. 2.The portions of the lots within 300' of the high water mark of the Creek are subject to hardcover regulations as regulated by Section 10.56, Subdivision 16 (L). Staff Recommendation The proposed preliminary plat is in a format that could be recommended for approval by the Planning Commission. Such approval shall be subject to the following conditions: 1.Prior to City Council approving the Preliminary Plat the applicant shall secure access from the City of Long Lake to Apple Glen Road, be approved for sanitary sewer connection and the Met Council shall approve a MUSA expansion. 2. Road shall be constructed to a width consistent witli road dimensions of Apple Glen Road. The City of Long Lake shall be requested for comments regarding construction and maintenance of the road. 3.Standard drainage and utility easements along the property lines will be required for the final plat. 4.Granting of Conservation and Flowage easements across the wetlands and ponding areas located within the development.

VOTE: Ayes 7, Nays 0. (#5) #2550 CHARLES VAN EECKHOUT, 120 BROWN ROAD SOUTH - SUBDIVISION FOf^. PLANNED RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT, 9:35 p.m. -10:30 p.m. The Certificate of Mailing and Affidavit of Publication were noted. Charles Van Eeckhout, Applicant, was present. Weinberger stated the City of Orono has received a Preliminary Plat application for a seven lot residential development for property located at 120 Brown Road South. The Applicant is requesting a conditional use permit for a Planned Residential Development, which v/ould allow the property to be developed at a two acre density using cluster development and preservation space. The RR-1B zoning district allows a property to be developed as a PRD as a conditional use. Under a PRO the City can establish setbacks for each of the lots. The Applicant is proposing four lots to be served on a private road, which would gain access from Tract G and ending in a cul-de-sac. The de/ ;’opmenl would also include three larger lots. Lots 5. 6, and 7. This property is located immediately north of the Luce Line Trail and south of the City of Long Lake. Weinberger stated the conditional use permit for the PRD would have the same consideration as the proposal by The Bancor Group regarding use of the land for higher density development with other land being dedicated for other purposes. This application would require a road width variance to allow the road to be developed at less than the minimum requirements. Tract G is platted 40 feet wide where the City requires a minimum platted width for a private residenli«l road to be 50 feel. The Applicant is proposing a 24 foot road. The proposed road would sen/e as access for the property south of the road as well as potential access for the property to the north and the seven lots being proposed as part of this development, which requires a road width of 28 feet. The subdivision is located within an area containing a number of wetlands as well as lying within the 100 floodplain. This subdivision would require a road crossing of a City protected wetland and located a NURP pond within 26 feel cf the City protected wetland. The City Council and the MCWD will need to approve any wetland alteration on site. Weinberger noted the property is located outside of the MUSA area, however, this area is proposed to be serviced by City sewer in the future. It has been determined that this area would not be able to offer private septic due to the number of wetlands and high water table in the area. The DNR has expressed concerns with the proposed sewer extension to the south end of the project, with Page 16 ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MONDAY, NOVEMBER 15,1999 (#2550 Charles Van Eeckhout, Continued) the intent of the developer and City to extend sewer under the Luce Une Trail. City Staff will continue to work with the DNR on this issue. Weinberger noted that the DNR does have some concerns regarding the extension of sewer under the Luce Line Trail due to future maintenance issues and would prefer the sewer extension be run along Brown Road. It is City’s Staff position that the sewer be installed as proposed. Weinberger stated tti« developer will also need to grant conservation and flowage easements across the wetlands and ponding areas located within the development, with restriction of land alteration and removal of vegetation in all wetland areas and within 75 feet of Long Lake Creek. The DNR is requesting the Applicant dedicate a 50 foot conservation easement over the southern portion of Lot 7. Weinberger stated access to the property is via Tract G, which is not currently owned by the Applicant. Staff is recommending that the owner of Tract G become a join* applicant, with the corridor being replatted as part of the subdivision. The City Engineer and Director of Public Services have recommended the entire access corridor be platted 50 feet in width to provide space for future utilities along the private road. Upon review of the sketch plan by the City Council and Planning Commission, it was determined that this development would be best served by access off of Brown Road and not through the urban area in Long Lake. Weinberger noted the Applicant has submitted additional documentation regarding Tract G for review by the Planning Commission. Weinberger stated Long Lake Creek is a protected tributary and requires a 75 foot setback for hardcover and structure. The driveway to serve Lot 7 would be required to bridge the creek, with a variance being required for the alteration. Park Dedication Fees would be calculated at the standard eight percent of the land value, with a minimum park dedication fee per lot of S2.900 and a maximum of S4.900 per lot. City Staff is recommending that the application be tabled to allow the Applicant additional time to resolve a number of complex issues, which includes the follows: A. The property owner of Tract G becomes a co-applicant and agrees to allowing the property to be replatted if he will remain the owner subsequent to plat approval; B. More detailed engineering data is required to ensure lots will be provided with safe driveway access. The City recommends driveways not exceed a ten percent slope; C. Stormwater calculations should be submitted for review to ensure the site can treat all runoff. Stormwater will flow directly to the Long Lake Creek which flows south directly to Tanager Lake of Lake Minnetonka; D. City Staff, the applicant, and the DNR shall determine if a permit can be issued to cross the Luce Line Trail with sanitary sewer service to Fox Ridge. If it is determined the sewer service cannot be completed, the City shall review alternatives; E. A grading and erosion control plan shall be submitted for the entire site shall be submitted for additional review. Van Eeckhout stated he has attempted lo meet with City Staff to resolve a number of these issues but was unable to due to their busy schedules. Van Eeckhout stated a 40 foot road access was approved previously by the City, with the City further approving installation of utilities to serve these lots based on the zoning in effect at the time. Van Eeckhout noted that these utilities are currently in place and it would be costly to relocate them and realign the right-of-ways. In addition. Van Eeckhout stated, based on legal advice, he has all the rights to build and maintain adequate roads to serve this property without the need to make Mr. Dunn a co-applicant. Van Eeckhout commented that it should not be a problem to construct a road over the wetland, and requested that a variance granted based on the following reasons; one. since the access Page 17 ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MONDAY, NOVEMBER 15. 1999 h (#2550 Charles Van Eeckhout, Continued) corridor will not front any building sites, no parking is needed and a 24 foot lane is the same as a highway lane and should provide adequate driving space. The additional four feet adds little functionability to the roadway and would result in the loss of trees as well as add to the hardcover. Van Eeckhout commented the properties can be served by driveways with a grade of seven percent or less. Van Eeckhout stated the sewer should be extended across the Luce Line as this is the most economical approach. Van Eeckhout remarked that these planning issues can be dealt with after preliminary plat approval and prior to final plat. Van Eeckhout requested that the Planning Commission approve his application subject to the conditions outlined by the Zoning Administrator. There were no public comments. Chair Hawn stated she would be happy to comment on the plan in general, but with the location of the road being uncertain at this time, she would have a hard time approving the preliminary pl^ as pmposed. Hawn commented she would also like to see the DNR issues resolved as well priorTo approval being given. Stoddard commented the Planning Commission can provide some direction to the Applicant on how to proceed. Stoddard stated in his view this land does not have the same uniqueness and capability to be developed as the proposal by The Bancor Group. Stoddard stated in his opinion the proposed density for this development is too high and needs to be reduced somewhat, with the other issues needing to be addressed further with City Staff. Nygard stated he is in agreement with Stoddard and has some concerns regarding the issues relating to the creek. Smith commented in her view she is unsure whether this property rneets the qualifications for a PRD noting she also has some concerns regarding the creek crossing and the sewer extension under the Luce Line. Smith noted that the Luce Line in this area is not easily assessible. Smith encouraged the Applicant t ’ continue to work with City Staff to resolve these issues. Chair Hawn inquired whether the wetlands would be subject to some type of conservation easement. Van Eeckhout stated he would be willing to discuss that issue with City Staff to see what they think is best for this area. Chair Hawn expressed a concern that some of the lots are too small and should be made larger by incorporating some of the other dry buildable land that is available. Van Eeckhout staled he is attempting to preserve the wooded area as much as possible. Lindquist concurred that some of the lots are too small In his opinion. Van Eeckhout commented with a PRD the overall density Is what is considered. Lindquist rtaled the Planning Commission has not approved density less than one acre in the past, and noted he would not be in favor of doing so in this case. Van Eeckhout remarked that this development is adjacent to Long Lake, which has smaller size lots. Page 18 ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MONDAY, NOVEMBER 15.1999 (#2550 Charles Van Eeckhout, Continued) Kluth commented in his view the density is too high for this area. Chair Hawn staled she would like to see the issues relating to the sewer extension and creek crossing resolved prior to any approval being given on this application. Lindquist stated he wants to see a minimum of one acre zoning for this development. Berg stated the Fire Department will probably question the width of the road and request that it be made wider to insure adequate access for emergency vehicles. Chair Hawn commented that it would be appropriate to table this application at this time to allow the Applicant time to resolve some of these Issues. Weinberger noted that there are no conservation areas planned at this time. Gaffron stated in order for a PRD to be approved, the benefits to the City must be shown, and (hat clustering Is utilized to help reduce infrastructure costs or preserve more open space and providing a larger open area by preserving the wetlands. Stoddard commented he would like to see lower density and more outlets for this development. Stoddard stated he would be In favor of a PRD if more benefits could be demonstrated, such as more outlets. Chair Hawn inquired whether the Applicant would like the Planning Commission to table the application at this time to allow him time to resolve these issues. Van Eeckhout staled he would like the Planning Commission to vote on his application tonight. Gaffron stated if the application is denied, it would proceed to the City Council. If the City Council denies it, at that point the Applicant would need to wait six months before submitting a new application. Van Eeckhout commented he would like the input of the City Council as well on his application. Smith stated the Planning Commission would like to see the Applicant be more fully prepared before proceeding to the City Council, noting that the Planning Commission has provided some good oirection to the Applicant on how to proceed. Smith indicated she would prefer to review the application again after the Applicant has resolved some of these issues. Hawn moved, Lindquist seconded, to recommend denial of Application #2550, Charles Van Eeckhout, 120 Brown Road South, per the submitted materials, noting that there is insufficient information available to the Planning Commission in order to make a responsible decision on the application at this time. VOTE: Ayes 7, Nays 0. NEW BUSINESS, CONTINUED (#7) #2542 BRUCE HEDBLOM AND CAROL CLINE-HEDBLOM, 2601 CASCO POINT ROAD VARIANCES, 10:31 p.m. -10:40 p.m. The Certificate of Mailing and Affidavit of Publication were noted. Page 19 r Y‘ f-y ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES FOR JANUARY 19, 2000 (#2400 Mark and Arlette Ploen, Continued) Weinberger staled the road would never be built up to the residence. Weinberger stated the County could elect to condemn the property. Hawn commented the two new lots would meet lot size but do not comply with the 140 fool width front yard setback. Stoddard inquired whether there were any precedents similar to this situation, Weinberger stated this lot line rearrangement Is not increasing the housing density in this area, but would allow the Applicant to create two lots meeting the one acre zoning requirement. Weinberger stated these two lots would continue to be considered two housing units. Hawn stated In her view meeting the required lot size Is an important factor to consider In this application. Smith inquired whether the Applicants are agreeable to the other conditions recommended by City Staff. Mr. Ploen indicated they are agreeable to the conditions. There were no public comments regarding this application, Smith moved, Kluth seconded, to recommend approval of Application #2400, 4345/4365 North Shore Drive, Class I Subdivision of a Lot Line Rearrangement, subject to the five conditions outlined in the January 12, 2000 Planner's Report and further subject to removal of the garage located closest to Lot B. VOTE: Ayes 5, Nays 0. Mrs. Ploen inquired when the garage would need to be removed. Weinberger indicated six months from the time of approval would be fine, (#3) #2550 CHARLES VAN EECKHOUT, 120 BROWN ROAD SOUTH, SUBDIVISION FOR PLANNED RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT, 7:32 p.m. -8:23 p.m. Certificate of Mailing and Affidavit of Publication were noted. Charles Van Eeckhout. Applicant, was present, along with John Berg, Loucks & Associates. Weinberger staled this application was reviewed at the November Planning Commission meeting, where the application was denied due to the number of issues to be resolved and concerns regarding DNR permits for sewer and driveway extension across Long Lake Creek, a protected waterway. The Applicant has submitted a revised plan for the subdivision to create an open space south of the creek, which eliminates any concerns with crossing the creek as well as concerns regarding bridging and extension of the sewer line across the creek. The DNR has requested the developer dedicate a conservation easement along the south boundary of the property to help preserve the natural area along the Luce Line Trail. As it relates to sewer access to the Fox Ridge neighborhood, the best option would be to have Page 8 kJhirfii ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES FOR JANUARY 19, 2000 (#2550 Charles Van Eeckhout, Continued) the sewer come up from the south due to some of the concerns by the DNR of crossing the Luce Line Trail with the sewer line. Weinberger stated the original proposal had access to this subdivision off ot Brown Road, ending in a cul-de-sac. with the private road servicing four lots. The City Engineer has recommended the proposed access to the property be platted as part of the subdivision and not by easement. He further recommends that the access to the site should meet a minimum 50 foot width to meet City roadway standards for a public or private street. The Applicant’s latest proposal has the same road configuration and also contains the same four lots off of the cul-de-sac. The lots located south of the private road have been revised to allow for larger lots. Weinberger stated one issue of concern is the fact that access to the property is via a Tract G. which is not owned by the Applicant. Staff is recommending the owner of Tract G become a joint applicant and the corridor be replatted as part of the subdivision. The City Engineer and Public Works Director have recommended the entire access corridor be platted 50 feet in width to provide space for future utilities along the private road. Tract G should be In ownership of the Homeowner's Association as they will be responsible for the maintenance. Weinberger indicated a driveway easement has been granted many years ago to the current residence. Weinberger stated It is unclear whether the driveway easement would entitle the developer to utilize the road to service other properties. The Applicant has indicated that his Title Insurance Company has verified that they will guarantee access to the seven lots. Weinberger stated in 1977. Halstad Acres was developed to the south of the access, which Is owned by Mr. Dunn. With that development, an easement was granted for roadway purposes with the intent that some day access would need to be provided for this property. This issue becomes a legal question over whether the driveway easement gives the Applicant the right to construct a roadway to serve his development. Weinberger noted the City Engineer has reveiwed the drainage and grading plan for the subdivision and is requesting some modifications. The City Engineer at this time has some concerns regarding the size of the holding ponds and wants to insure that this development will not increase the runoff to the surrounding area. The developer will need to submit the requested information for review and approval by City Staff. Weinberger stated ‘his proposed subdivision is located immediately adjacent to Long Lake, with the subdivision being serviced with sewer from an existing Long Lake sewer line. The Applicant is requested to submit the following Information for review and approval prior to a final plat application. 1. Detailed grading, drainage and erosion control shall be submitted for review as requested by the City Engineer. 2. Final plans for sewer and water extension, including detailed sanitary sewer line profiles, shall be approved by Staff prior to review. 3. The Metropolitan Council shall approve a MUSA expansion to the site. 4. A drainage area map, storm sewer and ponding calculations should be submitted for review and approval by Staff. All ponds shall meet NURP standards. The ponds shown in the Page 9 . ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES FOR JANUARY 19. 2000 (#2550 Charles Van Eeckhout, Continued) development may not meet the minimum standards a NURP pond requires. 5. A permit from the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District is required for site land alteration and wetland mitigation. 6. All easement documents for utilities, drainage and conservation land shall be approved by the City Attorney. 7. Final plans for the construction of the roads shall be submitted for review. 8. The applicant provides final lot area (dry buildable acreage and wetland acreage) predevelopment. The Applicant shall be advised 14 acres dry buildable is required for a seven lot subdivision. City Staff is recommending this application be based to allow additional time to resolve a number of complex Issues, which includes the following: A. The property owner of Tract G become a co-applicant and agree to allow the property to be replatted If he will remain the owner subsequent to plat approval. B. More detailed engineering data is required to ensure lots will be provided with safe driveway access. The City recommends driveways not exceed a 10 percent slope. C. Stormwater calculations should be submitted for review to ensure the site can treat all runoff. Stormwater will flow directly to the Long Lake Creek which flows south directly to Tanager Lake of Lake Minnetonka. e D. A grading and erosion control plan shall be submitted for the entire site shall be submitted for additional review. Weinberger noted the revised plan does meet the intent of a PRD. Van Eeckhout commented the road access issue is a legal issue and Indicated he is willing to work with City Staff to resolve this issue. Van Eeckhout stated the letter received from his title Insurance company indicates that they are willing to guarantee access to this subdivision via this driveway easement which was granted a number of years ago. Van Eeckhout stated he has revised the plans In an attempt to comply with the recommendations of the Planning Commission and City Staff. Berg stated they would be willing to relocate the road to help increase the lot size of the two north lots, reduce the encroachment into the wetland area, and preserve more trees. Smith inquired what the impact would be if the road were relocated right next to the wetland. F.erg stated any runoff from the road would need to be directed to the other side Into a holding pond and away from the wetland area. Berg commented In his view this would not be a major issue to resolve. Smith commented the only way to create lots of one acre or more was to reduce the number of lots from four to three. Page 10 ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES FOR JANUARY 19, 2000 r i • (11^2550 Charles Van Eeckhout, Continued) Weinberger inquired whether the land area calculations were determined by a surveyor. Berg Indicated they were, with the revised calculations indicating 13.7 acres dry buildable. Weinberger stated the new numbers under a standard plat or PRO must meet all the minimum lot size requirements, with 13.7 acres dry buildable meaning the developer may have six lots in this subdivision. Berg stated this subdivision surpasses the City's ordinances for a standard sewered lot. Berg pointed out they are only three-tenths of an acre less than 14 acres dry buildable. Berg stated one area within this subdivision was artificially lowered a number of yeans ago, which may not become flooded. Stoddard stated it would still be defined as a wetland. Van Eeckhout commented part of the wetland is located above the 100 year floodplain and would in all likelihood never be wet. Van Eeckhout stated in his opinion this area would not have needed to be included In the wetland calculations. Stoddard stated the Planning Commission reviews these applications based upon the information that is submitted by the Applicant. Stoddard commented at the previous meeting the Planning Commission had focused on the size of the lots and h lu requested the developer look at increasing the lot size as much as possible. Kluth commented he likes the bigger lots In the northeast comer. Van Eeckhout stated in his view this is a good plan, and requested the Planning Commission act on his application. Hawn requested the Applicant address the issue of access. Van Eeckhout stated he has paid Mr. Dunn three times for the same easement. Van Eeckhout stated he has had an attorney review this easement as well as his title insurance company, who have both assured him that he is legally entitled to construct a road over this easement to serve his subdivision. Tom Barrett, City Attorney, noted he has attempted to review all the documents relating to this item. Barrett stated there appears to be a utility easement over the southern portion of the property as well as the driveway easement. Barrett stated in his view the problem with tlie document agreeing to the driveway easement is it does not further address any other issues, such as whether this driveway easement should support access to other residences. Barrett recommended approval of this application be made contingent upon final resolution of this issue. Barrett stated anotner issue dealing with the access is whether the City would allow a private road as an access. Barrett commented he has questions whether the driveway easement would allow the developer to build a public road. David Berkowski, South Brown Road, inquired what the additional ten foot area represented. Page 11 ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES FOR JANUARY 19, 2000 Ir (H^2550 Charles Van Eeckhout, Continued) Weinberger stated the City of Orono requires at the time a private or public road is constructed within a subdivision that 50 feel of right-of-way is dedicated only for roadway purposes. Weinberger stated the developer is requesting a 24 foot road width, with City Code requiring 28 foot. The additional space is utilized for snow storage or shoulder. When it was originally platted, the^ City required a ten foot roadway and utility easement across the north ten feet of Berkowski's property. Berkowski inquired whether the trees located within that easement could potentially be removed. Weinberger stated they could. Berkowski commented in his view the access issue should be resolved. Hawn commented from the information supplied tonight, it does not appear the road would run across the northern portion of his property. Kluth indicated access would become a condition of approval, and if not met, the subdivision would not be approved. Weinberger stated the City currently owns the ten foot easement. Weinberger stated City Ordinance requires a 28 foot roadway, with a variance and a demonstration of a hardship being necessary in order for the City to approve a 24 foot road. Staff is recommending construction of a 28 foot roadway. Berg stated they are attempting to preserve as many of the trees in this area as possible, noting there will be no parking on the roadway. Smith commented the reason behind the 28 foot requirement is to allow adequate access for emergerncy vehicles. Weinberger stated if the roadway were to service only six lots, it would require a 24 foot roadway. Stoddard stated the developer may need to decide whether to create six lots or seven lots. Weinberger stated the City of Orono has been very consistent in the past on what they approve in terms of density. Hawn commented the major issues before the Planning Commission tonight are access, size of the lots, and the size of the roadv/ay. Weinberger pointed out even if six lots were created within this subdivision, the roadway itself would be serving seven lots. Hawn commented she personally would like to see bigger lots in this subdivision. Nygard concurred that he would like to see larger lots within this development. Kluth commented he would be agreeable to allowing a 24 foot road if only six lots were created. Hawn stated the Applicant needs to submit the appropriate documentation to the City demonstrating resolution of the access issue. Page 12 I,’ ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES FOR JANUARY 19, 2000 (#2550 Charles Van Eeckhout, Continued) Kluth noted City Staff is recommending tabling this application until these issues are resolved. Van Eeckhout commented he would like the Planning Commission to act on his application tonight. Hawn inquired whether the ten percent slope for the driveway is an issue. Van Eeckhout stated that is not an issue. Smith inquired whether the members of the Planning Commission preferred six lots with a 24 foot roadway or seven lots with a 24 foot roadway. Stoddard indicated he preferred the six lots. Kluth stated based upon the conditions stated by City Staff, the developer may need to reduce the number of lots. Weinberger stated this is another application that will need to be extended. Weinberger stated City Staff would be comfortable with sending this application to the City Council provided some direction is given to the Applicant on the conditions he should comply vrith. Barrett noted the Planning Commission has suggested the developer consider reducing the number of lots to six on a couple of occasions, with the developer indicating he preferred to leave the number of lots at seven. Barrett stated the Planning Commission could vote to deny this application, with clear direction on what the Planning Commission would like to see occur on this application. Kluth moved. Smith seconded, to recommend denial of Application #2550,120 Brown Road South, Subdivision for Planned Residential Development, with a strong recommendation the developer consider reducing the number of lots within this subdivision to six in order to comply with the conditions outlined in the January 10, 2000 Planner's Report.

(#4) #2555 HENNEPIN COUNTY, 3880 SHORELINE DRIVE, ZONING CODE AMENDMENT, CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT AND VARIANCES. 8:25 p.m. - 9:20 p.m. The Certificate of Mailing and Affidavit of Publication were noted. Guy Nowlan and Greg Chock appeared on behalf of Hennepin County. Weinberger stated the Hennepin County Transportation Department is proposing to construct a Hi-Arch gambrel type salt storage building at the maintenance facility located at 3880 Shoreline Drive. The present facility was constructed at a time when the property was zoned for commercial uses. However, that zoning was changed to residential in the early 1970s, thus making use of this property a legal non-conforming use. Hennepin County has made an application to the City of Orono requesting a code amendment that would allow a county maintenance facility to exist in the LR-1C zoning district as a conditional use. The LR-1C district permits any conditional use that is permitted in the R-1A zoning district. Weinberger indicated the property is presently used for salt/sand storage in the fall and winter Page 13 /■I A...... N.

Weinberger explained the issue facing this application was that the dry buildable acreage available totaled 13.7 acres where 14 acres are required for 7 lots. As planned, the subdivision did not meet city requirements of 2 acres per lot. The Planning Commission recommended denying the application based on the total dry buildable not meeting the minimum requirement of 2 acres dry buildable per lot in the RRIB zoning district. Kellogg stated that no trail or sidewalk was planned with the recommended 50 foot road width. Sansevere asked if the applicant had considered a reduction to 6 lots. Van Eeckhout responded that he would prefer 7 lots and felt that would be attainable once soil borings were done in the spnng. ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES FOR FEBRUARY 14,2000 *1 (#2550 Charles Van Eeckhout, continued) Mayor Jabbour commented that the city would not allow sewer availability to incre^e lot density. All Council members agreed. The applicant must demonstrate a hardship to allow more than the permitted density on the site. Mr. McCusky, the adjoining property owner, was present witli legal representation arguing th.at the applicant had not made arrangements for proper legal access to the subdivision. He was concerned that approving the subdivision may imply some legal rights to access. Barrett confirmed the easement to the property was for driveway purposes and may not be adequate to serve as access to the subdivision. Barrett stated the application deadline is March 2,2000. The applicant must present a letter to the City of Orono to extend the deadline.

The site is located east of South Brown Road, south of Long Lake and north of the Luce Line trail in the northeast quarter of Section 3. We have the following comments in regards to engineering matters. 1. Access/Streets: The proposed access to the site is via Apple Glen Road in the City of Long Lake. Apple Glen Road is accessed off of Watertown Road. The total length of the cul-de-sac from Watertown Road is approximately 1600 feet where City code allows a maximum cul-de-sac length of 1000 feet. Plans should be submitted to the City of Long Lake for their review and comment. The prop'ised typical street section shows 24 feet of paved width with no shoulders. We recommend that the street section be revised to include 3-foot gravel shoulders as required by City standards. The street section should provide for a minimum of 8-inches of Class 5 aggregate base and gcotextile stabilization fabric if necessar>'. We recommend 1 Vi inches of Type 41 bituminous wear course and 2 inches of Type 31bituminous base course. A geotechnical evaluation and R- value recommendation should be provided to verify the street design. 2. Grading: The grading and erosion control plan should include erosion control measures to protect the existing wetland. The erosion control plan may need to incorporate bale checks and fiber blanket in the ditches and along steeper slopes. A wetland mitigation plan should be implemented for any wetland filling. Erosion control measures should be in place prior to any grading, particularly along the wetland. Additional erosion control will be needed during construction of the houses. 3. Drainage: The draft version of the City’s’ Comprehensive Storm Water Management Plan (SWMP) shows that the site lies within the Tanager Lake drainage district. Long Lake Creek, a Mn DNR protected waterway, flows through the site. Plans should be submitted to the Mn DNR and the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District (MCWD) for review and approval. Proposed ponds should meet NURP standards. All proposed ponds should specify normal water level (NWL) and high water levels (HWL). The final plans should include final pond grading including a 10:1 aquatic bench 10-feet wide at the pond NWL. I he pond design should also include an outlet structure that provides I-foot of skimming to remove floatables and debris. Skimming should be provided to the pond HWL. Storm sewer design including outlet suucture details should be provided for review. Best Management Practices (BMP’s) should be implemented on all areas where storm water cannot be routed directly to a pond. A drainage area map. storm sewer and ponding calculations should be provided with the final plan set. 4. Sanitary Sewer: The City of Long Lake should be consulted regarding proposed connections to their sanitary sewer system. A written sewer agreement between the Cities of Long Lake and Orono will be required. The developer should provide detailed sanitary sewer design including plan and profile sheets. The City of Orono should review the sanitary sewer needs along Sout^' Brown Road (existing home west of Lot I, Block 2) and determine whether the sewer should be exi'^nded to the westerly boundary of Outlot A. 5. Easements: Drainage and utility easements should be provided 5 feet wide along all interior lot lines and 10 feet wide along the roadway right-of -ways. Drainage easements should be provided across all wetland, drainage way and pond areas. 2335 West Highway 36 • St. Paul. MN 55113 • 651-636-4600 • Fax; 651-636-1311 6.

Weinberger, . • . • The purpose of this letter is to provide you with an update regarding the above project. To briefly review its status, this parcel wa? visited by Svobodai Ecological Resources (SER) on October 14, 1998. At this • time, tNvo areas were determined to be jurisdictional wetland and were delineated by SER (see SER Report No. 98-060-03 for more detail). The edges of these wetlands were located by SER using a Trimble Ag 132 GPS equipped with a. Juniper Systems field data collector. Positions were differentially corrected in real-time using signals transmitted by the Coast Guard station in Alma, Wisconsin. This system is capable of sub-meter accuracy when using real-time differential correction in the field. • • • In 2000, SER determined that the boundaries of Basin. 1. needed revision due to factors that were not evident at the time of field visitation. The northern boundary was redrawn and reduced (Figure 1). .This. . revision was due to the presence of sand and gravel fill found in this area, which indicated that it would not meet jurisdictional w etland status, in addition, the boundary of the northwestern finger of this basin was redrawn and reduced (Figure 1). This reed canary grass dominated area^recently has become drier due to the presence of a drainage ditch. Thus, the e.\tent of the wetland bpundary as was determined in 1998 was decided to over-exaggerate the scope of the northwestern wetland edge. Please note that the . modified boundaries on Figure 1 are not exact and are subject to field verification. •. Should you have any questions about these revised boundaries, please call me, i Sincerely, Svoboda Ecological Resources Franklin J.

Box 66 Crystal Bay, MN 55323-0066 RE: Preliminary Plan Review for 120- South Brown Road Charles Van Eeckhout - Orono Zoning Application #2550 Dear Mr. Weinberger: In response to your letter dated August 1,2000 requesting that the Long Lake City Council forward any concerns regarding Mr. Van Eeckhout’s request prior to your August 21, 2000 planning commission meeting I would offer the following. Long Lake city staff has previously met with Mr. Van Eeckhout to discuss his proposal. Staff directed lAr. Van Eeckhout to seek final plan approval fi om the City of Orono prior to submitting a request to the City of Long Lake for road and/or sewer access. I have discussed this course of action with both the Long Lake Planning Commission and the Long Lake City Council and they have agreed that they prefer to review the request once the plan has received final approval by the City of Orono. Please feel free to contact me if I can be of any additional assistance regarding this matter.

Please include this letter in the project file documenting the state’s concerns. The proposed subdivision will create 7 building sites on 14 acres. Lot number 7 runs along the entire southern boundary of the development and borders the Luce Line State Trail. The State of Minnesota, Department of Natural Resources, Trails & Waterways Unit manages the multiuse recreational Luce Line State Trail. There are several concerns regarding this application. One, that the proposed development does not adversely effect the water drainage along the state trail or adjoining state property. A second concern is that the standard setbacks be adhered to in planning for this development. This would apply to septic svstems, retention ponds, and buildings. This includes outbuildings as well, and should be clearly disclosed to future landowners. Sewer plans are a third. This plat identifies a line running from north to south with an endpoint at the Luce Line State Trail. At this time there is no request to this office for permission to cross the trail. We would not be in favor of a sewer crossing at this point. Future maintenance of the sewer would be difficult at this location on the trail. Access from the west is poor due to Brown Road South being an overpass. The next access street from the east, Orono Orchard Road is almost 3/4 mile and has a steep grade for the horse trail only; the main trail passes over the road. The fourth concern is that the developer and future landowners be made aware of property boundaries and not damage the landscape or remove vegetation on state property. A covenant could DNR Information: 612-296.6157. I-800-766-6000 • TTY: 6l2-296-5-;34. I-800-657-3929 An Equal Opportumix Emplovcr Who Vjlu<» 0% Printed on Rec> Jed Paper C anuimng j Minimum of Po%i-Con%umer'^a^ie L be placed on the property prohibiting the alteration of topography or vegetation adjacent to the trail. This has been a problem in the past when adjacent landowners create private access trails to state land. A recommendation to the developer and the City of Orono would be to establish a conservation easement of 10 to 50 feet along the entire southern border with the Luce Lire State Trail. This would benefit both the landowner and the trail users by providing a buffer zone of vegetation screening the homesite from the trail. Typically, conservation easements allow landowners to limit future development or alteration of vegetation on their property in order to protect natural and open space. It is a voluntary and permanent legal agreement where the landowner retains ownership and the right to use the land within the terms agreed upon in the conservation easement. The DNR would be willing to work with the developer to establish an agreement that would be beneficial to both parties. Please address the above concerns and discuss the conservation easement possibility in the project review and keep us informed of future plans for this development.

December 6,1999 City of Orono Paul Weinberger PO Box 66 Crystal Bay, MN 55323 Dear Mr. Weinberger, This is the second letter from the DNR, Trails & Waterways Unit in regards to the application #2550 submitted by Chuck Van Eeckhout to the City of Orono Planning Commission for a subdivision and conditional use permit for a Planned Residential Development for property located at 120 Bro^ Road South. Please include this letter in the project file documenting the state’s concerns. The proposed subdivision will create 7 building sites on 14 acres. Lot # 7 runs along the entire southern boundary of the development and borders the Luce Line State Trail. The State of Minnesota, Department of Natural Resources, Trails & Waterways Unit manages the multiple-use recreational Luce Line State Trail. There is a sewer line extension proposed in the development plan. As it exists on the preliminary plat map dated 10-14-99, the sewer runs from north to south and intersects the trail east of Brown Rd. S. Trails & Waterway’s preferred route for the sewer extension would be to follow the Brown Road South right-of-way. This would minimize interference to the trail right-of-way and concentrate utility crossings at road intersections. We also support the City of Orono ’s position that Lot # 7 be set aside as a conservation outlot. This would benefit both the landowners and the trail users by providing a screening of vegetation between the housing development and the trail. Please note the above concerns in the project review and keep us informed of future plans for this development.

Access is proposed from Garden Lane, which is a platted right-of-way that is undeveloped. Garden Lane would connect Tonkaview Lane to Outlot A. The road is proposed as a public road to the end of the cul-de-sac. All lots would be connected to sewer and be served with private wells. Sewer is available in Wildhurst Trail and would need to be extended between Lots 2 and 3 to the new road. The 5 proposed lots would average approximately one acre in size. Lots 2 and 3, located at the end of the cul-de-sac, do not have the required lot width for new lots in the zoning district. They would require variances for lot width. Staff Concerns and Comments: 1.The property has a number of sensitive natural features that should be protected and managed when the propert>' develops. The northerly ravine, proposed as Outlot A, would be protected by placing a conservation easement over that area. Proposed Lot 2 is proposed to include some regrading to help redirect storm water to the NURP pond located on Lot 5. Some of the grading is in the proximity of a drainage ravine located along the south property line of Lot 2. Staff has discussed this issue with the developer and recommended the common property line between Lots 2 and 3 be shifted to the north to allow the building site for Lot 2 to move awav from the drainage area and ravine. As of the date of this memo the City of Orono has not received a revised plan addressing this issue. The developer has stated they are willing to make the requested revisions and would have plans available before the meeting with the City Council. Request for Council Action continued Page 2 September 7,2000 #2595 Brenshell Homes__________ 2.All drainage off the structures that would be located on Lots 2 and 3 should be redirected towards the cul-de-sac where the drainage would enter the storm sewer and flow towards the northern NURP pond. The concern is drainage from the stru»,tures would be concentrated towards Wildhurst and could impact the stability of the slope and drainage towards the lots east of Wildhurst Trail, 3.Protection of the wooded areas along Wildhurst and protection of the ravines would be accomplished through the granting of conservation easements over those areas. A conservation easement would be granted over the east half of Lots 2 and 3 to protect those areas from removal of vegetation and land alteration. Additional easements would protect the two drainage ravines. 4.The proposed grading plan reduces the existing drainage area to the southerly ravine by about 2.5 acres. Storm sewer will redirect this drainage area to the north pond where the gradient is half as steep as the south ravine. The City Engineer has reviewed the drainage calculations and commented they appear acceptable. Both ponds reduce the off-site flow rates compared to pre-development conditions. 5.The City is strongly recommending the developer not disturb the trees and.grades east of the cul-de- sac along Wildhurst Trail. The portions of the sewer that would be installed between Lots 2 and 3 and along Wildhurst shall be directionally bored to prevent any disturbance to the steep slopes. Sewer Service: Sewer Service is available in Wildhurst Trail. The main line would be extended in Wildhurst to a point between Lots 2 and 3. A utility easement 20' wide shall be granted between lots 2 and 3 from Wildhurst Trail to the cul-de-sac and standard utility easements shall be granted over Outlot B to allow extension of service to Garden Lane. The developer shall be responsible for construction the service out to Garden Lane. The portions of the sewer that would be installed between Lots 2 and 3 and along Wildhurst shall be directionally bored to prevent any disturbance to the natural grades and not require removal of mature vegetation on the slope. Boring under Wildhurst would also eliminate the need to temporarily close access to properties north of the proposed improvements. Options for Council Action: A.To deny the subdivision unless specific plan revisions are made per staffs comments noted above. Proposed Lot 2 is proposed to have some regrading to help redirect storm water to the NURP pond located on Lot 5. Some of the grading is in the proximity of a drainage ravine located along the south property line of Lot 2. That area should be protected. As of the date of this writing applicants have indicated they are willing to revise the plan but have not had time to complete a drawing. If the developer agrees to make the changes recommended by staff, or if the developer brings in a revised plan, approval could be granted, directing staff to draft the appropriate resolution for your next meeting. However, if the developer does not provide an amended proposal reflecting the staff recommended revision. Council should either adopt the attached denial resolution or obtain a written e.xtension of the review period from the developer on Monday night. fc| O' I I • h M Request for Council Action continued Pages September 7,2000 tf?SQ6 Brenshell Homes__________ B.To approve the previous site plan without staff recommended revisions subject to the following conditions and direct staff to draft the appropriate resolution; 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Lot Width variances be approved for Lots 2 and 3. Drainage and utility easements be dedicated on the final plat 10' along exterior property lines and 5' along interior property lines, stormwater detention ponds located on lots 1 and 5. Drainage easements shall be dedicated for the lower ravine located on Lot 2 and a conservation and flowage easement shall be dedicated over the south portion of Lot 2 to ensure the higher elevations of the ravine are also protected. A conservation easement be placed over Outlet A to protect the ravine from any land alteration and vegetation removal. Utility installation shall require directional bored lines under Wildhurst Trail and between Lots 2 and 3. Subdivider shall satisfy all concerns and requirements noted in the letter dated August 15, 2000 by Tom Kellogg, City Engineer. C.Table the application and provide direction to the applicant based on the comments noted above in alternatives A and B. Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends alternative A. Planning Commission Recommenda ion: The Planning Commission voted 5 to 1 to recommend approval of the Preliminary Plat. However, it was the position of the Planning Commission that drainage and erosion control be reviewed carefully to ensure that surrounding properties are protected and the natural features within the development are protected. r' > A RESOLUTION DENYING PRELIMINARY PLAT FOR BRENSHELL HOMES FILE #2596 WHEREAS, the City of Orono is a municipal corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State of Minnesota; and WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Orono has adopted subdivision regulations for the protection of the public health, safety and general welfare; and WHEREAS, Brenshell Homes (hereinafter "the subdivider") has an interest in the property located at 1181 Wildhurst Trail within the City of Orono (hereinafter "the City") and legally described as follows: Lot 2, Block 1, Heathercroft, Hennepin County, Minnesota (hereinafter "the property"); and WHEREAS, the subdivider has applied to the City of Orono for a Class 111 subdivision of the property creating 5 lots on the 7 acre parcel, development of Garden Lane into a public road and has requested variances for lot width for the proposed Lots 2 and 3. WHEREAS, the City Council has reviewed the application; the recommendations of the City staff and the Planning Commission; and the comments and written statements submitted by the applicant. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of Orono, Minnesota hereby denies the requested subdivision as described above based on one or more of the following findings of fact concerning this property: 1.The property has a number of sensitive natural features that should be protected and managed when the property develops. The northerly ravine, proposed as Outlot A, would be protected by placing a conservation easement over that area. Proposed Lot 2 has proposed some regrading to help redirect storm water to the NURP pond located on Lot 5. Some of the grading is in the proximity of a drainage ravine located along the south property line of Lot 2. Page 1 of2 2.The drainage off structures that wo aid be located on Lots 2 and 3 would concentrate drainage down the slope towards Wildhurst Trail creating an erosion concern. Drainage should be redirected to tie cul-de-sac where the drainage would enter the storm sewer and flow towards the northern NURP pond. 3.Staff has recommended to the subdivider the common property line between Lots 2 and 3 should be shifted to the north to allow the building site for Lot 2 to move away from the drainage area and ravine to protect the southerly ravine area on the south property line of Lot 2 from greater erosion concerns. 4.Staff has recommended shortening the cul-Je-sac to enable the homes on Lots 2 and 3 to be constructed on flatter land. 2000.

Kluth cohunented he is particularly sensitive as it relates to structural coverage on lake lots due to The impact tnhthardcover and structural coverages have on the area lakes. Doleman inquired\hether a reduction in hardcover would help the lake. Hawn stated a reductioirla hardcover does lessen the impact to the lake, but that the Planning Commission does not generafl^rade hardcover for structural coverage. Hawn indicated the Planning Commission encourages the reduction in hardcover whenever possible. Lindquist stated he concurs with Hawu. Stoddard stated this is a difficult application t^^prove since the Planning Commission normally does not grant structural coverage variances unlcsss^ardship is demonstrated. Stoddard indicated the Planning Commission is a recommending body to thV^ity Council and that the City Council may or may not approve this application. Lindquist stated the Planning Commission can either table it to alloS^he Applicant time to revise the plans or vote on the application tonight. Doleman requested the Planning Commission vote on his application tonight.

SCHEDULED PUBLIC HEARINGS (#4) #2596 BRENSHELL HOMES, 1181WILDHURST TRAIL, PROPOSED FIVE LOT SUBDIVISION WITH DEVELOPMENT OF GARDEN LANE AS A PUBLIC ROAD, 8:00 p.m. - 9:37 p.m. Steve Behnke, Brenshell Homes, was present. PAGE 17 NHNUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEEl ING AUGUST 21,2000 The Certificate of Mailing and Affidavit of Publication were noted. Weinberger stated the Planning Commission had reviewed this application at their June meeting, which consists of developing a seven acre site located on Wildhurst Trail. The Applicant has revised his plans and is now proposing access via Garden Lane. The previous proposal had shown six lots, with some issues relating to driveway access to the property and drainage concerns. The Applicant has reduced the number of lots to five in response to the concerns of the Plaiuiing Commission as well as addressed the issues relating to grading and drainage. Weinberger stated in response to the concern about protection of the ravines and controlled water runoff to properties east of Wildhurst Trail, the Applicants have revised the grading plan and addressed the issues by directing drainage to two stormwater management ponds. 1 he City Engineer has reviewed the grading and drainage plan and has determined the drainage has been preliminarily approved. Both of the proposed ponds will reduce the amount of w ater Rinoff to ' what actually exists today as well as providing sWmming to allow tlie water to be treated prior to leaving the site. Weinberger noted this plan would also be subject to review and approval by the DNR and the Minnehaha Watershed District. Secondly, the issue relating to street access has been addressed by revising the plan to make a 90 degree controlled intersection with Garden Lane. The northerly ravine in tliis development would be protected by a conservation casement and a lot has been removed that would have required access around the ravine. Weinberger stated the number of proposed lots has been reduced from six to five based on the recommendation of the Planning Commission, which has resulted in each lot meeting or exceeding the one acre minimum lot size. Weinberger stated City Staff is strongly recommending the developer not disturb tire trees and grades east of the cul-de-sac along Wildhurst Trail. The portion of the sewer that would be PAGE 18 - MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING AUGUST 21,2000 'i' IP installed would be installed between Lots 2 and 3 and along Wildhurst shall be directionally bored to prevent any disturbance to the steep slopes, which would eliminate the need to close access to properties north of the proposed improvements. Lot width variances are required for Lots 2 and 3. The LR-IB zoning district requires a minimum lot width of 140’. Both lots have appro.ximately 120’ of width at the required structure setback. Weinberger indicated the City of Orono has approved lot width variances for lots which front on a cul-de-sac that demonstrate suitable building sites and meet the minimum lot size requirement. Weinberger stated the City ’s Comprehensive Plan suggests properties within urban density and urban services be served by a public road. Staff recommends the new roads to this development be public, with the cul-de-sac providing an emergency turn-around. City Staff recommends approval of the proposed preliminar>’ plat subject to the following conditions: 1. Lot width variances be approved for Lots 2 and 3. 2. Drainage and utility easements be dedicated on the final plat 10 feet along exterior property lines and five feet along interior propert)* lines, stormwater detention ponds located on Lots 1 and 5. 3. Drainage easements shall be dedicated for the lower ravine located on Lot 2. 4. A conservation casement be placed over Outlot A to protect the ravine from any land alteration and vegetation removal. 5. Utility installation shall require directional bored lines under Wildhurst Trail and between Lots 2 and 3. 6. The subdivider shall satisfy all concerns and requirements noted in the letter dated August 15,2000, by Tom Kellogg, City Engineer. Behnke stated following the last meeting after a request was made to table the application, a PAGE 19 r ^^NUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING AUGUST 21,2000 discussion was held with a number of the residents in the lobby of City Hall. The residents expressed three major issues; one, a desire for no development; two, improve the runoff; and three, less density. Behnke stated given those concerns expressed by the residents and the concerns of the City Staff and Planning Commission, they have revised their plans to meet as many of those concerns as possible. Behnke stated in discussions with the City Engineer, recommendations were made to redirect the water runoff from this site, which has been resulted in a reduction of the water flow leaving the site near the south ravine of 91.5 percent. Behnke stated in a 100 year flood, tite normal flow would be seven cubic feet per minute to .6 cubic feet per minute, or a reduction of 91.5 percent. Behnke stated the ponding near the north ravine has resulted in the w'ater runoff remaining the « same as what currently exists now. Behnke stated he is in agreement that the roads should be public to this development. Behnke stated he does not have a problem with the consers ation easement for Outlot A. Behnke noted they have just received Staff s report today, and in discussing the sew er with the directional boring contractor, Behnke noted they are in agreement with Staff s recommendation, which will result in a much lesser impact on Wildhurst. Behnke indicated the residents along Wildhurst will still experience some road construction for a one or day in this area even with the directional borings. Behnke noted all proposed lots for this development do now meet the one acre dry buildable minimum, with the reduction in the number of lots resulting in a much better development overall, Kathleen O’Kasper, 1067 Linden Avenue, stated over the years she has followed Stokes’ developments, noting the building permits on some of his developments have been issued to a PAGE 20 A- > ; !. * r NUNUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING CO>nvnSSION MEETING AUGUST 21,2000 company called Fine Line Design. O’Kasper stated she contacted the Commerce Department who indicated they do not have a license for Brenshell Homes on file, which means Brenshell Homes is not a licensed builder, O’Kasper stated the license for Fine Line Design has e.xpircd. O’Kasper commented since she was unable to find an office for Brenshell Homes, she has concerns that the City of Orono may be getting involved with a builder who cannot perform. Behnke commented in his view the issue raised by O’Kasper does not have any bearing on the plat that is before the Planning Commission tonight, noting that developers do not need to be licensed. Behnke stated the land developer on this particular development is Brenshell Homes, and that he is the owner of Fine Line Design. Behnke stated he was contacted approximately one week ago by the Commerce Department that there was a problem with his license. Behnke stated the license is issued in his name and not Tom Stokes’, with the office being located in the City of Burnsville. Behnke stated the issue with his license is that his check w'ent uncashed by the Commerce Department and his license was not extended. The Commerce Department has indicated they have had a number of problems with licenses during this period of time. Behnke stated he is continuing to work with the Commerce Department to correct this problem. Sandra Hollenhorst, 1200 VVildhurst Trail, commented in her view no variances should be granted on this development. Hollenhorst stated since this is a ver>' fragile area, the City should take extra steps to insure that what is being proposed will not damage the area. Hollenhorst expressed concerns that if the vegetation is damaged in this area, it will result in another ravine. Hollenhorst inquired what the environmental impacts are when directional boring is done. Weinberger stated the directional boring is being done to protect the slope, w ith a tunnel being bored underneath the ground in order to allow an extension of the sewer system, Weinberger stated if the sewer line were installed the standard way, the contractor would need to dig trenches in which to place the lines in, which would disturb the topsoil. PAGE 21 « i r . MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING AUGUST 21,2000 Gary Welsh, 1214 Wildhurst Trail, stated he did speak with the developer on this application, noting he was to be the contact person for the neighborhood. Welsh indicated he has not been contacted by the developer or any of his representatives following the last public hearing, and in his view the developer has not made any effort to work with the neighbors as requested by the Planning Commission. Wekh stated in his view variances should not be granted on a development in order to allow higher density. Hawn indicated two variances are being requested by the developer on this application, which are normal when a house is located on a cul-de-sac. O’Kasper indicated she had some additional questions regarding licensing. Hawn stated that is not an issue before the Planning Commission tonight, and suggested City Staff check into the matter. Sandra Rasmussen, 1186 Wildhurst Trail, expressed concerns regarding the current sewer capacity, and requested that the current capacitv' be evaluated to insure that this development will not create additional problems in this area. Rasmussen also requested the developer be required to provide sufficient security on this project to insure completion or restoration of the area. Rasmussen stated she has a concern regarding the steep grade of the road, noting she presently experiences erosion of her driveway every- time it rains. Rasmussen indicated she did speak with the developer about the possibility of relocating this road. Rasmussen stated she also has a concern with the fact that variances are being requested on this development given the situation with the cul-de-sac and the steep road. Rasmussen commented the cul-de-sac should not be constructed if it is going to compound the problem. Behnke indicated the water flow will be altered so that all w ater runoff goes to the north, to the holding pond, and through an outlet pond. Behnke staled the City Engineer has reviewed and approved the grading and drainage plans on this development. Rasmussen stated she would like to see some t>pe of assurance in the event the drainage does PAGE 22 NHNUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING AUGUST 21,2000 p- not work the way the developer is proposing and that the project is completed in accordance with the plans approved by the City. Weinberger indicated a letter of credit is required on this project, with the plans on this project being required to meet certain standards of the City. Weinberger indicated the project would be inspected periodically by the City Engineer to insure compliance with the final plans. Weinberger stated the developer is also required to enter into a development agreement, which mandates that certain conditions are met on the project. Berg commented that the City does not release any funds on the letter of credit until an inspection has been completed by the City Engineer to insure proper compliance with the approved plans. Hawn commented the Planning Commission needs to rely on the advice of their e.xperts in determining whether the drainage for this area is appropriate and proper in controlling the water runoff. Stoddard requested City Staff review further any possible impact to the bluff in this area. • • Weinberger commented City Staff has reviewed that issue, with the determination being made that the bluff should not be negatively impacted. Behnke indicated the bluff in tiiis area does not meet the necessary criteria to be considered an actual bluff. Stoddard stated he would like City Staff to review this issue again. Hawn commented the Planning Commission and City Council are required to act in accordance with the City’s ordinances. Hawn indicated the proposed plan does meet the City’s criteria, with the developer having the right to develop the land regardless of the desires of the adjoining property owners. Hawn stated it is the responsibility of the City Engineer and City Staff to insure that these issues are being addressed properly. PAGE 23 ' V.? ’ i ■ MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COM^^SSION MEETING AUGUST 21,2000 Tom Stokes, Brenshell Homes, stated he is the owner of Brenshell Homes, which is a development company and not a building company. Stokes stated he has personally spoken \vith the Commerce Department, who has indicated they are responsible for the license not being issued. Stokes stated the property owner requested them to develop this propert}', which is his right, and they are attempting to resolve all the issues involved with this project in accordance with the City’s ordinances. Stokes stated Charles Cudd Homes will be constructing the homes on this site, who is a very reputable builder. Stokes stated in his view this will be a very nice project once completed, with extra care being taken to meet all the concerns expressed by tlie residents and City Staff. Stokes requested they be treated as any other developer w’ithin the City, noting the State Bank of Long Lake will be funding this project. Nygard requested Weinberger address the issue of the holding ponds and the value they play in drainage. Weinberger stated the developer will be NURF ponds, which are designed to be sedimentation ponds. Weinberger stated this type of pond is generally required in most developments, w itli the ponds actually treating the water prior to it leaving the pond so it is cleaner than when it entered the pond. Stoddard requested the developer to keep the neighbors informed on the progress of this development, noting the members of the Planning Commission typically don t receive their packets until Thursday or Friday of the week prior. Stoddard stated Bonestroo is a large reputable consulting firm and will help to insure that the final plans are being complied with. Stoddard commented he does have a concern with the impact to the bluff, and repeated his request of City Staff to review the impact to the bluff in this area. PAGE 24 NHNUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING AUGUST 21,2000 Stoddard commented the Planning Commission is required to look at each application on their o^\■n basis, and requested City Staff look further at the impact this development will have on the surrounding area. Lindquist commented it is the responsibility of the Planning Commission to insure that the rights of the residents and the developers are preserved. Lindquist indicated the proposed plan does meet the City ’s Comprehensive Plan, with the propertv* o\wier having the right to develop this property. Lindquist stated he w’ould be in favor of this proposal since it does meet the City ’s standards. Hawn indicated she is in agreement with Lindquist. Nygard commented variances are based on a hardship inherent to the land, and in his view a hardship does exist in this case. Hawn stated outside of those two variances being requested, this proposal does meet all the City ’s requirements. Ha\w» stated in her opinion she does not see a reason not to approve the preliminary plat. John Dunn, 1131 Wildhurst, commented since engineering is not an exact science, he would like to see additional steps taken to insure proper grading and drainage for this development. Dunn requested he be provided with any new information the developer may have on this development. Stokes indicated they would be happy to cooperate with the neighbors. Lindquist moved, Kluth seconded, to recommend approval of Application #2596, Brenshell Homes, 1181 Wildhurst Trail, subject to the six conditions outlined in the August 17, 2000 Planner’s Report, with the added condition that the trees be retained on all slopes on the east portion of Lots 2 and 3. VOTE: Ayes 5, Nays 1, Stoddard Opposed. Stoddard stated he voted in opposition to the motion because he feels there should be further research done on the impact to the bluff in this area. Stoddard stated in his opinion the Public Works Director and City Staff should review the adjoining area to determine the impacts of this PAGE 25 \ ;Y fj MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANMNG COMMISSION MEETING AUGUST 21,2000 development. (Recess taken from 9:38 p.m. - 9:45 p.m.) («8) #2606 RICHARD BLOOMQUIST, 3333 SHORELINE DRIVE, VARIANCES AND COMMERCIAL SITE PLAN APPROVAL, 9:45 p.m. -10:10 p.m. Richard Bloomquist, Applicant, w’as present. Weinberger stated the Applicant is requesting approval of a commercial site plan and variances for building additions to the existing supermarket totaling approximately 4,740 square feet. Variances are needed for hardcover in the 500-1000’ setback, street and side lot line setbacks, and parldng. The proposed additions would provide additional retail space, warchouse/cooler areas, parcel pick-up, and an employee break room. The use of the property would not change. Weinberger indicated the City Council did adopt a resolution in 1997, approving variances to permit additions to the building that increased the size of the structure. However, the additions have not been constructed and the one year time period has expired, requiring a new land use application. Weinberger stated the gross leasable area for the B-3 Zoning District shall not exceed 28 percent of the total land area of the lot. Weinberger indicated this lot consists of 2.85 acres, and with the proposed additions, the gross leasable area would cover 22.2 percent of the total land area of the Lot. Weinberger stated there are no proposed changes to the parking, with a variance being approved in 1988 for a 0’ parking setback. The side yard adjacent to street variance was approved in 1991 for a ten foot parking setback, no change being proposed. The Applicant has requested structural page 26 1 € r- >1* i- TO:Chair Hawn and Orono Planning Commission Members Ron Moorse, City Administrator FROM:Paul Weinberger, Zoning Administrator/Planner DATE:August 17,2000 SUBJECT:#2596 Brenshell Homes 1181 Wildhurst Trail Class III Preliminary Subdivision - 6 lots Public Hearing Zoning:LR-IB, One Family Lakeshore Residential, 1 Acre Minimum lot size Application: Five lot subdivision of a 7 acre site Construction of Garden Lane and New Road Lbt of Exhibits: A B C D Revised Site Plan City Engineer Comments June 19,2000 Planning Commission Minutes Staff Report (6/15/00) Application Review: Several major concerns were addressed by Staff, Planning Commission and Public at the Public Hearing on June 19,2000. The following concerns were addressed by the applicant. Drainage The primary concerns were about protection of the ravines and controlled water runoff to properties east of Wildhurst Trail. The applicants have revised the grading plan and addressed the issues by directing ^ainage to two stormwater management ponds. Tom Kellogg, City Engineer, has reviewed the grading and drainage plan and has determined the drainage has been preliminarily approved. 2i Street The street alignment has been revised to make the 90 degree intersection with Garden Lane. 3.Conser\'ation The northerly ravine would be protected by a conservation easement. A lot Easement has been removed that would have required access around the ravine. 4.Lot area One lot has been removed based on the Planning Commission Variances recommendation that density variances would not be approved. The total lots proposed would be 5 lots. Each meeting or exceeding the 1 acre minimum lot size. I 1 L‘ 5.Erosion Control Lot Width Variances The City is strongly recommending the developer not disturb the trees and grades east of the cul-de-sac along Wildhurst Trail. The portions of the sewer that would be installed between Lots 2 and 3 and along Wildhurst shall be directionally bored to prevent any disturbance to the steep slopes. Boring under Wildhurst would eliminate the need to close access to properties north of the proposed improvements. Wildhurst is the only access to the northerly lots. Proposed Lots 2 and 3 would require lot width variances. The LR-1B zoning district requires a minimum lot width of 140'. Both lots have approximately 120' of width at the required structure setback. The City of Orono has approved lot width variances for lots which front on a cul-de-sac that demonstrate suitable building sites and meet the minimum lot size requirement. Public vs. Private Road The Comprehensive Plan suggests properties within urban density and urban services to be served by a public road. Staff recommends the new roads should be public. The cul-de-sac would provide an emergency turn around. Also snow plows could use the turn around after plowing Garden Lane. Staff Recommendation The proposed plat meets the requirements as set by the Subdivision Ordinance. Staff is recommending approval of the proposed preliminary plat conditioned upon: M 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Lot Width variances be approved for Lots 2 and 3. Drainage and utility easements be dedicated on the final plat 10' along exterior property lines and 5' along interior property lines, stormwater detention ponds located on lots 1 and 5, Drainage easements shall be dedicated for the lower ravine located on Lot 2.

The site is located east of Garden Lane and west of Wildhurst Trail in the west half of Section 7. We have the following comments in regards to engineering matters. 3. Utilities: The proposed sanitary sewer installation raises some concerns. Sewer is proposed to be installed in an existing steep slope between Lots 2 and 3 and also down the center of Wildhurst Trail. Disturbance of the steep slope is a serious erosion concern. Installation of the sewer in Wildhurst Trail will require the removal of the entire driving surface making through traffic difficult if not impossible. We strongly recommend that the portions of the sewer between Lots 2 and 3 and the segment along Wildhurst Trail be directionally bored to prevent disturbance • to the steep slopes and allow for through traffic during construction. Final plans should include plan and profile views of the sanitary sewer. Record plans should be provided to the City upon project completion. City standard details should be included in the plan set. 2. Streets: Plans should include a typical street section. A geotechnical analysis, R-value recommendation and pavement design calculations should be submitted for review. It appears that the street will be an urban section with curb and gutter. All curb and gutter shall be concrete, no bituminous curb is allowed. The fire chief should review and comment on the proposed hammer handle turn-around on Garden Lane. The chief should also look at the proposed driveway alignment to serve Lot 5. Recent discussions with local firefighters indicate that long curving driveways can be an obstacle for fire trucks. The City should review and determine whether Garden Lane should be constructed further to the north to provide access the Saga Hill Park. 3. Grading and Drainage: The proposed grading plan reduces the existing contributing drainage area to the southerly ravine by about 2.5 acres. Storm sewer will redirect this drainage area to the northerly ravine where the gradient is half as steep as the south ravine. This is consistent with our previous comments. The developer ’s drainage calculations appear acceptable. Both ponds reduce the off-site flows compared to predevelopment conditions. Both ponds should have outlet structures constructed to City standards that provide skimming to the 100-year storm event. Storm sewer design and calculations should be provided for review. Final plans should be submitted to the Minnesota DNR and the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District for their review and approval. 4. Easements: Drainage and utility easements should be provided 5-feet wide along all interior lot lines and 10-feet wide along roadway right-of-ways. Drainage easements should be provided 2335 West Highway 36 • St. Paul. MN 55113 • 651-636-4600 ■ Fax; 651-636-1311 across all drainage ways and ponding areas. It appears that the purpose of Outlot A is to protect the ravine. The southeasterly boundary of Outlot A does not include the southerly end of the ravine. The southeasterly boundary of Outlot A should be moved southerly to tie into the 1020 contour along the west lot line of Lot 5 so that all of the ravine is included within Outlot A. 5. Financial Guarantee: When the plans have been completed we will prepare an estimate of the total cost for the site improvements to determine the amount of the financial guarantee required. Please contact me at (651) 604-4863 if you have any questions regarding this matter. Yours very truly, BONESTROO, ROSENE, ANDERLIK & ASSOCIATES.

VOTE: Ayes 4, Nays 0. tKecess taken from 9:ua p.m. — 9:10 p.ift. (H6) #2596 BRENSHELL HOMES, 1181 WILDHURST TRAIL - PROPOSED SIX LOT SUBDIVISION WITH DEVELOPMENT OF GARDEN LANE AS A PUBLIC ROAD, 9:10 p.m. - 10:02 p.m. Steve Behnke, Brenshell Homes, was present. The Certificate of Mailing and Affidavit of Publication were noted. Weinberger stated the Applicant has submitted a preliminary plat application for a six lot subdivision of approximately seven acres of land located at 1181 Wildhurst Trail. The lots would have access from Garden Lane, which is a platted but undeveloped street. Garden Lane would connect Tonkaview Lane to Outlot A. The road is proposed as a public road to the cul-de-sac. The proposed access from Tonkaview eliminates a number of problems with the proposal with the sketch plan review. The Garden Lane access will eliminate driveways to Wildhurst, thus protecting the trees along Wildhurst Trail and controlling stormutiter runoff on site. PAGE 19 MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION JUNE 19, 2000 (#2596 BRENSHELL HOMES, CONTINUED) Weinberger stated the six proposed lots would average approximately one acre in site, with all lots being connected to sewer and served with private wells. Sewer is currently available in Wildhurst Trail and would need to be e.xtended between Lots 2 and 3 to the new road. Weinberger indicated Lots 2 and 3, located at the end of the cul-de-sac, do not have the required lot width for new lots in this zoning district and would require variances for lot w idth. Lot 5 does not have the required frontage along the proposed road and would require a variance as the width of the lot is narrower adjacent to Outlot A than Garden Lane. Garden Lane would only be developed to the intersection with Outlot A and would become a public road. Weinberger stated Lot 1 is proposed at 1.03 acres, but does not account for land area dedicated for the NURP pond, with the City not crediting buildable area for land that will be used as a drainageway or for storage of stormwater. Weinberger noted a variance would be required for lot area. Weinberger stated Lots 2 and 3 would require lot width variances since they are less than the 140 feet required w idth at the rear of the front yard setback. Both lots are considered to be through lots since they w ould have access to the new road and are adjacent to Wildhurt Trail. Weinberger stated Lot 4 would be a conforming lot and does have a buildable area that would be suitable for residential construction. Lot 5 would have approximately 90 feet of frontage along the front property line, with no direct access being a' ailable from Garden Lane. Weinberger stated Lot 6 contains a major ravine, which is shown on the preliminary drawings as a drainage easement. Cit>' Code requires properties served by municipal sanitary sewer, the minimum lot area may be divided by Flood Fringe lands provided at least one half acre of land not within the protected area is included in one contiguous parcel and both municipal sewer and legal access is available to that building site without encroachment on the protected area.. According to the proposed plan, the driveway -access would impact the southern edge of the ravine. Weinberger noted the City Engineer is reviewing this driveway location for Lot 6, with on-site grading and drainage plans needing to be submitted to the MCWD for review. Weinberger stated access to Lot 6 is not possible without impacting the ravine. Weinberger stated athe road and most c f the lots w ill drain towards the NURP pond depicted on Lot I, with the pond draining to the ravine along the south lot line of Lot 2. Staff has a concern about the drainage being diverted into one location before it drains to the east side of Wildhurst Trail, with the City Engineer recommending that all drainage be diverted to the north from the pond and into the ravine located in Lot 6, w ith some form of water retention downstream before it enters Lake Minnetonka. Weinberger stated additional information regarding the drainage wrill need to be submitted to the City Engineer for his review and approval. Weinberger staled the Park Commission will need to review this application as it relates to the issue of park dedication. This property is located across an undeveloped road from the Saga Hill Park and provides the City of Orono w ith an opportunitv' to determine if a land dedication would be appropriate to protect the ravine. PAGE 20 MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION JUNE 19,2000 (W596 BRENSHELL HOMES, CONTINUED) City Staff is recommending this application be tabled until the next Planning Commission meeting in order to give the Applicant time to resolve some of these issues. Steve Behnke stated he has a number of questions relating to the issues raised in the Platmer’s report. Behnke stated currently in his view Garden Lane as being required because of Lot 64, which is the lot to the north being a potential public access to a private lot. Behnke stated in his opinion Lot 1 does show over one-half acre dry buildable outside of the NURP pond, with the engineer for this development calculating two-thirds dry buildable on this lot. Lots 2 and 3, lot width variances would not be necessaty since at Wildhurst Trail the lots are 224’ and 153’, and if measured along the setback, there is the potential that they are less than 140’, but are obviously greater in width across the northern section. Behnke pointed out both lots will be located on a cul-de-sac. Behnke stated it was on the recommendation of City' Staff that this plan took the approach from Garden Lane. Lot 4 also contains enough frontage along Garden Lane and would not need a variance. Behnke acknowledged that there are issues relating to grading and drainage concerning this property', which will need to be addressed further. Behnke stated it is his opinion that Lot 6 and the rav*ine have been addressed. Behnke noted they have adopted the DNR’s definition of a bluff as the method of determining the top of the ravine. The top of the ravine does not extend to Garden Lane and ends prior to it, and because of that, the acreage on both sides is being incorporated into the dry' buildable acres. Behnke stated the driveway does not impact the ravine proper as defined by the bluff definition. Behnke stated Lot 6 consists of approximately 1.25 acres in size, and they would be able to manipulate the lot line if necessary. Behnke commented the current division of water between the north and south is essentially equivalent to what it was prior to this plan being created, with this development not increasing the water runoff. Behnke stated the intention of the NURP pond is to hold the w'ater to allow it to drain to the ravine at the same rate that it is currently. Behnke stated the water that drains to this property' offsite is also included in the NURP pond proposed for Lot 1. Behnke stated the comment by the City Engineer that all drainage be directed to the north is opposite the natural direction of the water. Behnke stated in his view there arc some inaccuracies in the statements by the City Engineer. Behnke stated in his opinion he should not be responsible to extend Garden Lane to the north as part of this project since they arc offsite. Behnke indicated they are in agreement with the standard easements and that Outlot A should be a public right-of-way, w ith the road being a public road due to the number of houses that w ill be serviced by it. Behnke stated they will continue to work with City Staff on those issues. Behnke noted the proposed drainage for this development is designed to keep the water runoff at the same rate as what currently exists in the ravine. Weinberger stated regardless of the one-half acre dr>' contiguous, these lots are located within the one acre zoning district and st'll require the one acre dry' buildable regardless of being separated by a drainage area. Weinberger stated Lot 6 does meet this require.'nent, with Lot 1 being less than one PAGE 21 MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION JUNE 19, 2000 U ' ■ (#2596 BRENSHELL HOMES, CONTINUED) acre in size due to the location of a NURP pond on that lot. Weinberger stated Lots 2 and 3 do front on a cul-de-sac, ssith Staff measuring the lot ssidth from the setback from the cul-de-sac. The frontage along Wildhurst would technically require a variance. W’einberger stated as it relates to the drainage, the comment from the City Engineer were based on the information provided by the Applicant. The City Engineer has not commented on the new information submitted. Weinberger stated the concern initially was that all of this drainage was going to one location. Gary Welsh, 1214 Wildhurst Trail, stated he lives east of the proposed development. Welsh stated the ravine that mns on the south side is actually the ravine that runs through their property, noting he is well aware of the drainage that runs through the ravine. Welsh inquired whether this was a situation where the rules will be bent by granting the variances to allow the extra density and have an adverse impact on the area due to the added hardcover and increased runoff. Welsh commented that perhaps more water needs to be held on the property in order to address the drainage issues. Mike Hollenhorst, 1200 Wildhurst, stated in his opinion due to the number of variances required on this development, the application should be denied. Hollenhorst indicated they live downhill from Lots 2 and 3, with the construction as a result of this development causing the entire roadway and driveway to be blocked while the sewer line is being e.xtended. Hollenhorst requested that the Planning Commission require a substantial bond on this project to enable the City to restore the land back to its original state should the developer go bankrupt on this project. Sandy Robinson, Wildhurst Trail, expressed concerns relating to the proposed density and drainage. Robinson stated in her view the City should not permit a developer to push the amount of lots that can be developed in this area. Robinson stated in her opinion three lots would be acceptable in this a.»ea. Robinson commented the depth of the ravine in the area should give a clear indication to the Planning Commission of the pow er of the runoff in that area, and that ample steps need to be taken in order to guarantee proper drainage from this developm^r’. Michael Wear, 1184 Wildhurst, commented in his view the developer has a right to develop this property if he so chooses, with the City having the right and the obligation to place sufficient conditions upon the developer to insure proper compliance with City Codes and adequate drainage. Wear stated in his view t!. * needs to be developed with the issues in mind, especially in light of the drainage that flows th ci: jb this area. Wear stated the current condition of the ravine is not very attractive due to the number or uowned trees and debris within the ravine. Wear suggested the developer revise his plans to work w ith the runoff and the other issues and reappear before the Planning Commission. Robert Birkeland, 1298 Wildhurst Trail, stated when this area experienced a 12 inch rain, the ravine looked like the Missippissi River under the existing conditions. Birkeland stated in his opinion the City needs to get some kind of balance between what currently exists and what the developer is attempting to do. The President of Brenshell riom*'S stated they would be willing to table this application in PAGE 22 MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION JUNE 19,2000 (#2596 BRENSHELL HOMES, CONTINUED) order to address these concerns and arrive at a better medium ground. Ha\Mi stated she appreciates the offer to table this application, noting that this is a difficult piece of property to develop v^'ith a number of complicated issues, which is not the fault of the developer. Hawn noted the developer has indicated he is willing to work with City Staff and the neighbors on these issues. Hawn encouraged the neighbors to work together with the developer on this proposal. Hawn indicated in her opinion she feels the number of lots being proposed for this area is ambitious and should be reduced by one or t\vo lots, with particular attention being given to the drainage issues in this area. Smith commented the number of variances being requested generally serves as a flag to the Planning Commission that perhaps what is being proposed for the area is a little too intense or not appropriate for iho area. Smith commended the developer for suggesting that this item be tabled in order to allow these issues to be addressed. Lindquist stated he concurs with tabling this application, noting he would like to see the developer and the neighbors get together tc discuss these issues. Nygard indicated he was in agreement. Hawn moved, Lindquist seconded, to table Application #2596, Brenshell Homes, 1181 Wildhurst Trail, to give the Applicant time to submit revised plans at their request.

Bottenberg stated this applicatibr^vas tabled at the May 15, 2000 Planning Commission meeting to allow the Applicant time to revis^Sljeir proposed plan regarding the construction of lakeside retaining walls. The Applicants are scckHm a Conditional Use Permit to replace two existing retaining walls and construct ^vo additionaPhstmning walls within the 0-75’ setback. A variance is needed in the 0-75’ setback since retaining walfs.are considered as hardcover. Bottenberg stated the Applicants, the contractor, Citv' En^in^r, and City Staff met on May 19,2000, at the site to discuss how to stabilize the existing walls and swp^with minimal impact to the propertv’. The City Engineer at that time reiterated his initial obseNq^ns regarding the proposed new retaining walls as requiring substantial grading, with the recommendafhaqjhat no new retaining walls be constructed.

The lots would have access from Garden Lane, which is a platted but undeveloped street. Garden Lane would connect Tonkaview Lane to Outlot A. The road is proposed as a public road to the cul-de-sac. All lots would be connected to sewer and be served with private wells. Sewer is available in Wildhurst Trail and would need to be extended between Lots 2 and 3 to the new road. The 6 proposed lots would average approximately one acre in size. Lots 2 and 3, located at the end of the cul-de-sac, do not have the required lot width for new lots in the zoning district. They would require variances for lot width. Lot 5 would only have 56' of frontage along the proposed road. Technically, this would require a variance as the width of the lot is narrower adjacent to Outlot A than Garden Lane. Garden Lane will only be developed to the intersection with Outlot A. The proposed access from Tonkaview' eliminates a number of problems with the proposal with the sketch plan review. The Garden Lane access will eliminate driveways to Wildhurst, thus protecting the trees along Wildhurst Trail (Lots 2 and 3) and controlling stormwater runoff on site. This application has requires the following: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. App. a y ;x lot preliminary plat Consttuvt’Viv; e u road within the Garden Lane platted right of way Construction of a continued road into Outlot A Acceptance of the road as a public road Lot Width Variances for lots 2, 3 and 5 Sanitary Sewer extension to serve the six lots from Wildhurst Trail Construction of a stormwater management pond (NUItP) Approval of a private driveway to serve Lot 6 thru Garden Lane Lot Standards Lot 1 is proposed at 1.03 acres, but does not account for land area dedicated for the NURP pond. The City does not credit buildable area for land that will used as a drainageway or for storage of stormwater. A variance would be required for lot area. Lots 2 and 3 require lot width variances because they are less than the 140’ required width at the rear of the front yard setback. Lot 2 is slightly under the required setback. Lot 3 is approximately 100’ in width at the setback. Both lots are through lots because they would have access to the new road and are adjacent to Wildhurst Trail. Mature stands of trees are located between the building sites on Lots 2 and 3 and Wildhurst. Soils types in the area make it difficult for vegetation to restore itself. The trees should be protected if the lots are developed. *2596 Brenshell Homes MSI WildhuntTrail Class III Preliminary Subdivision Jim* 19. 2000 pagt-2 Lot 4 would be a conforming lot and does have a buildable area that would be suitable for residential construction. Lot 5 would have would have approximately 90' of frontage along the front property line. Garden Lane is not proposed to be constructed north of the Outlot A connection. No direct access would be available from Garden Lane. Lot 6 contains a major ravine, shown on the preliminary drawings as a drainage easement. Section 10.55, Subdivision 15 (A) (2), "For properties served by municipal sanitary sewer, the minimum lot area maj be divided by Flood Fringe lands provided at least one half acre of land not within the protected area is included in one contiguous parcel and both municipal sewer and legal access is available to that building site without encroachment on the protected area." According to the plan the driveway access would disturb the southern edge of the ravine. The City Engineer is reviewing the impacts of the driveway location on Lot 6. On-site grading and drainage plans must be submitted to the MCWD for review. MCWD permits will be required. Garden Lane adjacent to Lot 6 would not be developed. The land across Garden Lane is part of the Saga Hill Park. The ravine is a natural feature to the area and should be protected. Review Exhibit E half-section map indicating all land dedicated as part of the park and Garden Lane. Grading/Stormwater Management/Road Details (City Engineer Comments) Grading/Stormwater Management The road and most of the lots will drain towards the NURP pond shown on Lot 1. The pond outlets to the drainage ravine along the south lot line of Lot 2. There is concern about the drainage being diverted into one location before it drains to the east side of Wildhurst Trail. It is recommended by the City Engineer that all drainage be diverted to the north from the pond and drain into the ravine located in proposed Lot 6 with some form of water retention downstream before it enters Lake Minnetonka. The stormwater calculations indicate the runoff from the site would not increase, post development. However, the stormwater currently drains off the property in several locations. The grading plan indicates the drainage will now all be concentrated to the south ravine and out Lot 2. The subdivider should provide a map indicating the runoff pre and post development prior to Preliminary Plat approval. It does not appear access is possible to Lot 6 without impacting the ravine. The preliminary drawing.s show the drainage easement turning to the south to accommodate a driveway. This would require land alteration and filling of a portion of the ravine to provide access. 12596 Brenshell Homes list WildhuntTrail Class III Preliminary Subdivision Junt 19. 2000 POV i M Road Alignment Although curve data has not been submitted to indicate the design speed of the intersection, it appears the road would not meet the standards for speed. It would be more appropriate to have a T intersection and cul-de-sac Garden Lane rather than have one continuous road ending in a cul-de-sac. Access to lots north of the Development The road is proposed to end at the intersection of Outlot A. There is one lot north of the development that is one acre in size that could be developed sometime in the future. The only access is via Garden Lane. A road ending at Outlot A will not allow ideal access for this property, but would be better than a private drive the entire length of Garden Lane to Tonkaview Lane. Easements/Covenants 1.Standard drainage and utility easements shall be dedicated 5' in width along interior lot lines. 10’ perimeter drainage and utility easements were dedicated for the entire property when the underlying Heathercroft Addition was recorded. 2. An easement and maintenance agreement shall be recorded for the NURP pond. 3. 4. Drainage easements shall protect all drainageways, including the ravine areas. A preservation easement should be granted over the east portion of Lots 2 and 3 to protect the trees. The trees are located on the side and top of a hill. Saving the trees would protect the hillside from erosion and preserve the natural features as a buffer between the new lots and Wildhurst. 5.If Outlot A should be a private road, an easement for egress should be granted in favor of the City of Orono. Park Dedication The Planning Commission should discuss the issue of Park Dedication. Section 1 1.62 of the Subdivision Ordinance states “The form of contribution (cash or land, or any combination thereof) shall be decided by the City Council based upon the need and conformance with the Comprehensive Plan.” Dedication requirement of 8% of the land being platted or subdivided. The property is located across an undeveloped road from the Saga Hill Park. This provides the City of Orono the opportunity to determine if a land dedication would be appropriate. Any land to be dedicated as a requirement of this subdivision could be reasonably adaptable for the public purpose of Saga Hill. The Code describes factors used in evaluating the adequacy of proposed dedicated areas shall include size, shape, topography, drainage, geology, tree cover, access and location. N2S96 Brenshell Homes 1181 Wildhunt Trail Class III Preliminary Subdivision June 19. 2000 pagt-4 |f r Jfv r. r ?r The Council has the option of a cash contribution in lieu of land dedication. In those instances where a cash contribution is to be made by the subdivider, in lieu of a conveyance or dedication of land, the cash contribution to be contributed shall be equivalent to the fair market value of the equivalent undeveloped land that would otherwise have been conveyed or dedicated. The City shall account for such funds in a special fund named Park Dedication Funds. These funds are to be used only for the acquisition, development and improvement of public parks, playgrounds, trails, wetlands, or open spaces, and debt retirement in connection with land previously acquired for such public purposes. The cash contribution is 8% of the fair market value of the properties. A minimum contribution of $2,900 per lot or a maximum $4,900 per lot would be required if the City requires a cash contribution rather than a land dedication. This item will be forwarded to the Park Commission for review at their next meeting. Given the location of the park area, it is possible the Park Commission will request a land dedication rather than collecting a park dedication fee. Land around the northerly ravine is most likely a candidate for dedication. Issues for Discussion 1.Should lot width variances be approved for lots not meeting the minimum width requirement on the cul-de-sac? 2.The pond on Lot 1 requires credit for the drainage area to be buildable. Should credit be granted for the lot. Typically, credit has only been given for stormwater ponding areas as part of a Planned Residential Development. 3.Should the Outlot be a public road? The Comprehensive Plan suggests urban residential and urban service areas should be served with public roads. 4.Is the proposed road layout acceptable? Should two roads be provided (Garden Lane/OuUot A) or would it be acceptable to combine into one road? Should Garden Lane be extended further to the north to provide future access to other properties? 5.Would a Park Dedication be appropriate for any portion of the development due to the proximity of the Saga Hill Park? If so what areas may be appropriate for dedication? 6.The road and most of the lots will drain towards the NURP pond shown on Lot I. The pond outlets to the drainage ravine along the south lot line of Lot 2. There is concern about the drainage being diverted into one location before it drains to the east side of Wildhurst Trail. #2596 Brenjhell Homes 1181 Wildhunt Trail Cliss III Preliminary Subdivision Jww 19, 2000 paxt-5 1 1.

The purposed of the review is to consider the four lot plan that includes three lots requesting variances for lot width. The three lots also request direct access to Wildhurst Trail. A fourth lot with access to a driveway located in the platted, but undeveloped. Garden Lane is also proposed. Pertinent Ordinances: 1. Section 11.10, Subdivisions 6,7 and 8 - Purpose of sketch plan review. 2. Section 10.24 - LR-IB zoning district standards. 3. Section 10.56 (Shoreland Regulations) Subdivision 16 Application Summary: The proposal incorporates the 6.86 acre Soskin property east of Garden Lane. Access to the subdivision is proposed via direct access for Lots 1,2 and 3 to Wildhurst Trail and an access to Lot 4 via a private driveway located within the Garden Lane right of way. Garden Lane was dedicated in 1921 at a 60' width. All lots meet the minimum 1 acre requirement as shown, although this does not account for any stormwater or other easements which might be needed. Variances would be l»2576 Brenshell Homes 1181 Wildhunt Trail Sketch Plan Review of« 4 lot subdivision Apr in 7. 2000 pagt~l flig .. ’uired for the three lots that front on Wildhurst as they do not meet the minimum 140’ lot width all new lots in the LR-IB zoning district require. It would be contrary to the City of Orono’s Comprehensive Plan and practice to grant variances to create lots that do not meet the minimum requirements in the Code. Review Comments 1. 2. Drainage/Grading Plan. There are two major drainage ways within the property. There is a major ravine that intersects the north end of the property, in the proposed Natural Area and (Please refer to the Site Plan attached as Exhibit C). The City will require a drainage easement over this ravine. A major portion of this property drams to the south and east to a less dramatic ravine area that drains under Wildhurst Trail and eventually to the lake. There is co'^'^em about erosion on the east side of Wildhurst Trail due to stormwater flows, and the neighboring property owner west of Wildhurst has, constructed a minimal ponding area to reduce the flow rates which were threatening the driveway access. Stormwater calculations should be submit*'*d for review to ensure additional hardcover in the development will not further increase flow rates. Additionally, private driveway accesses are proposed on Wildhurst Trail. There is no indication how the stormwater will be directed and treated prior to crossing Wildhurst. There is a high potential for erosion. City Staff is concerned about any new access to Wildhurst Trail. It is the recommendation of Staff all access for the development is via a new road constructed by the developer through Garden Lane with a cul-de-sac serving any lots within direct access. The topography favors access from Tonkaview. On-site grading and drainage plans must be submitted to the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District for their review at the time the preliminary plan is submitted to the City. The MCWD will review the plans only after receiving preliminary approvalfrom the City. Grading plans submitted with the formal application must include existing and proposed 2' contours. The plans must also include erosion control, building pad locations and elevation and temporary erosion control during construction. Staff Recommendation Regarding Property Access. Earlier proposals on this site indicated access to the property via Garden Lane. Staff does not support direct access for the lots to Wildhurst. There are concerns with additional driveways being located on the road when alternative access is available through Garden Lane. Locating the driveways directly onto Wildhurst Trail would not allow stormwater to be treated. The City of Orono will require stormwater ponding that can be treated with aNURP pond being constructed to treat additional run off from the street and within the development. Attached to this report is a proposed lot layout from a preliminary plat application for this property in 1997. Tlie lots .vere proposed to all have access from a road built in Garden Lane fH576 Brenshelt Homes 1181 Wildhurst Trail Sketch Plan Review of a 4 lot subdivision April 17. 2000 page-2 to a second road ending in a cul-de-sac, Exhibit G. 3.nff«;ipnated Wetlands. There are no designated City or NWI-mapped wetlands within the property. The major ravine and drainageway at the northern portion of the property is not designated on the City’s wetland inventory maps. All land not used for stormwater management and road purposes will count towards dry buildable for zoning purposes. 4.Utilities. This property is within the MUSA and sanitary sewer is available from either Tonkaview Lane or Wildhurst Trail. Water supply will be provided by individual private wells. Sanita^-y sewer will have ‘ j be extended approximately 300' north along Wildhurst if that route is used, which is probable since the sewer in Tonkaview would have to be lowered to serve the lots. The developer vdll bear the cost of sewer installation in addition to a per unit sewer connection charge. The property has not been assessed for sewer. 5.Facpments. The City will ask for a dedication of drainage and utility easements at 5' width along all internal lot lines and 10 ’ along the proposed road right-of-way. The City will ask for drainage easements over all retention areas, drainageways and storm sewers. 6.Park Impacts. This proposal may not be necessary to providing access to the Saga Hill park. Access and a parking area have been located off Tonkaview. This sketch plan application will be forwarded to the Park Commission for review at their next available meeting. Given the location of the park area, it is possible Park Commission will want land dedication rather than collecting a fee as part of this subdivision. The developer will need to know what land is to be dedicated. Land in the area of the northerly ravine is the most likely candidate for dedication. Summary of Issues for Discussion 1. Planning Commission should provide applicant with general direction regarding the following issues: Road system configuration, driveways vs. road access for the lots. Shall any access be permitted from Wildhurst. Public vs. private roads. Future access to adjacent lots. Whether lot width variances noted are acceptable. Address any other issues raised by staff or applicant. 2. 3. 4. 5.

MN 55323 Re: Brenahell Homes Development Proposal Dear Mr. Weinbergen At the request of Mr. Gary Welsh and other concerned citizens of Orono, Barr Enginwnng Company has reviewed the revised development plans received today in suppon of the ?ropo5ed Brensneu Hones subdivision at 1181 Wildhurst Trail in Orono. We are providing coi;anents for your consideration in evaluating the proposed subdivision at your September 11.2(W0 city council meeting. Based on our latest review, we continue to have concerns regarding the steep slopes ana wetland losses. Steep Slopee and Eroelon Concerns The revised development plans include a reconfiguration of the lot line between Lots 2 and 3 and a minor reduction in the cul-de-sac length as recommended by city staff. However, the plws do not adequately protect the slopes and ravine from erosion due to concentrated runoff from the backs and sides of the homes. Unfortunately, approximately onc-half of the house pad on Lot 2 md approximately one-sixth of the house pad on Lot 3 lie within areas defined as sleep slopes steeper than 12%). The current plans have not altered the drainage to ensure that concerted runoff does not cause erosion in the south ravine and on the steep slopes leading to Wildhurst Trail. The south stormwater pond is also planned for construction within the south ravine in arcM c^ntly containing slopes steeper ^ 18 percent. The constrociion of the south pond would requue *c removal of numerous!«.!;- maple trees which are currently providing stability in the ravme. The steep slopes on LoU 2 and 3 are cuirenily protected from erosion by: 1 The full tree and siirub canopy which intercepts rainfall, maintains a more perraeabk soil structure and wicks away moisture from within the soUs by cvapotranspiraiion, and 2. The natural surface roue wss and small depressional areas in the upstream drmnage area slows any runoff that docs occur so runoff within the ravine is spread out and maintained at lower rates. As the city staff recommended at our meeting on September 6,2000, a conservation easement should be provided over the steeper slopes on Lots 2 and 3 to protect the existing veget^ve cover and ground elevations. The pond would also create a new slope into the ravine which would be sttcper than 20 percent. Constructing the pond within a flatter area would eliminate smaller trees and create less of an erosion concern.

Although not direcfiy regulated by city code (Type 1 wetlM^), the filling or draining of wetlands is regulated by the Wetland Conservation Act as ^ministered by the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District and the discharge of dredge or fill matwal into wetlan^ is tgulated by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. At this time, it is not clear that the applicant will be able to meet the wetland pemutting and mitigation requirements. If you have any questions, please call me at (952) 832-2764.

Applicant requests variances for 500' - 1,000' hardcover, street and side lot line setbacks and required parking. The additions would provide additional retail space, warehouse/cooler areas, parcel pick-up and an employee break room. The use of the property would not change. Retail food of all varieties is a permitted use in the B-3 district. On February 10,1997 the City Council adopted Resolution No. 3842 approving variances to permit additions to the building that increased the size of the structure by 6,688 s.f. However, the additions have not been constructed and the one year time period has expired requiring a new land use application. This proposal has removed the addition of a bank and pharmacy from the plans and has requested a smaller addition totaling 4,776 s.f. Planning Commission Recommendation: The Planning Commission voted 6 to 0 to recommend approval of the site plan and variances, Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of the application to issue a building permit to Rick’s Super Value and to approve variances to side and rear setbacks, parking and hardcover.

Section 10.61, Subdivision 10 (O) Required parking Retail use requires 1 parking space for each 150 s.f. of retail floor space. A variance was approved in 1991 to the parking requirement. The existing size of the retail use of the building would require 134 stalls. The variance was approved to permit 108 stalls. The total size of the building, to include the additions, would be 27,605 s.f. Areas such as utility rooms, hallways, storage and office are subtracted for the purposes of calculating required parking. The total floor area not devoted to the retail operation of the building is approximately 10% of the floor area or 2,760 s.f. Required parking = 24,845/150 = 166 parking spaces Proposed parking = 111 spaces WHEREAS, the Orono Planning Commission reviewed this application at a public hearing held on August 21, 2000 and recommended approval by a vote of 6 to 0 of the development plans per the commercial site plan, building elevations, and landscape plan prepared by RSP Architects, LTD dated July 19, 2000; and WHEREAS, the Orono City Council makes the following findings in regard to this application: FINDINGS 1. 2. 3. This application was reviewed as Zoning File #2606. The property is located in the B-3 Shopping Center Business District requiring 2 acres in area. The property consists of 2.85 acres. The development plans include two additions totaling 4,776 s.f. and remodeling of the Rick’s Super Value store. 4.A utility easement is located to the north of the building limiting the ability to expand the building out into the parking lot and an open space easement Page 2 of 7 5. 6. 6. 7. is located over the south 100' of the property. The open space area has been regraded to accommodate storm water flows. Any addition to the rear of the building would negatively impact the ability for the site to handle and treat stormwater runoff. Mr. Bloomquist has stated only one weekend per year where he would be concerned about parking. The remainder of the year he is not concerned about parking shortages. Hennepin County reconstructed the intersection of C.R. 15 and C.R. 19 in Navarre in 1988. Super Value lost over 8,000 s.f. of parking lot area. The City granted variances to accommodate a O' setback for the existing parking lot. The City has not received any reports of parking issues with the Super Value lot. No changes to the parking lot have been proposed. The total hardcover on the property would not change from the existing hardcover. The building additions v/ould change the black top to structure. Tom Kellogg, City Engineer, has reviewed the plan and has stated the overall plans appear acceptable. The 1991 engineering review, assuming the larger additions, found only minimal impact on drainage. A concern in 1991 was the flow of water from the west side of Kelly Avenue to this property. A culvert had been plugged under Kelly. Since, the culvert has been reopened to eliminate the drainage problem west of Kelly and has not had a negative impact on the Super Value site. The water flows to the detention area south of the Super Value store. Stormwater is directed to a retention area located at the rear of the property, which is protected by an easement. The property abuts the LR-IB Single Family Lakeshore Residential Zoning District to the south. Adjacent and nearby property owners were legally notified of the public hearing for this project and were given opportunity to speak at that hearing. Page 3 of 7 i tT br 8.The City Council has considered this application including the findings and recommendations of the Planning Commission, reports by City staff, comments by the applicant and the effect of the proposed variances on the health, safety and welfare of the community. 9.The Council finds that the conditions existing on this property are peculiar to it and do not apply generally to other property in this zoning district; that granting the requested variances would not adversely affect traffic conditions, light, air nor pose a fire hazard or other danger to neighboring properties, would not merely serve as a convenience to the applicant, but is necessary to alleviate a demonstrable hardship or difficulty; is necessary to preserve a substantial property right of the applicant; and would be in keeping with the spirit and intent of the Zoning Code and Comprehensive Plan of the City. CONCLUSIONS, ORDER AND CONDITIONS NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Orono hereby approves the commercial site plan, building elevations and landscape plan referenced above and approves the variances as requested based on the unique findings and hardships noted in tiiis resolution and approves the City’s issuing a building permit for the proposed additions to the Rick ’s Super Value Store (for the site plan attached as Exhibit A) to Rick Bloomquist, subject to the following conditions: 1.Authorities granted by this resolution run with the property not with the owners, but are permissive only and must be exercised by obtaining a building permit within one year of the date of Council's approval, or the special conditions of this resolution will expire on that date (September 11, 2001). 2.Violation of or non-compliance with any of the terms and conditions of this resolution shall constitute a violation of the Zoning Code, shall automatically terminate any authority granted herein, and shall be punishable as a misdemeanor.

MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING AUGUST 21,2000 rom 9:38 p.m. - 9:45 p.m.) (#8) #2606 RICHARD BLOOMQUIST, 3333 SHORELINE DRIVE, VARIANCE COMMERCIAL SITE PLAN APPROVAL, 9:45 p.m. -10:10 p.m. Richard Bloomquist, Applicant, v.'diS present. Weinberger stated the Applicant is requesting approval of a commercial site plan and variances for building additions to the existing supermarket totaling approximately 4,740 square feet. Variances are needed for hardcover in the 500-1000’ setback, street and side lot line setbacks, and parking. The proposed additions would provide additional retail space, \\arehouse/cooler areas, parcel pick-up, and an employee break room. The use of the property would not change. Weinberger indicated the City Council did adopt a resolution in 1997, approving variances to permit additions to the building ttot increased the size of the structure. However, the additions have not been constructed and the one year time period has expired, requiring a new land use application. Weinberger stated the gross leasable area for the B-3 Zoning District shall not exceed 28 percent of the total land area of the lot. Weinberger indicated this lot consists of 2.85 acres, and with the proposed additions, the gross leasable area would cover 22.2 percent of the total land area of the Lot. Weinberger stated there are no proposed changes to the parking, with a variance being approved in 1988 for a 0’ parking setback. The side >’ard adjacent to street variance was approved in 1991 for a ten foot parking setback, no change being proposed. The Applicant has requested structural PAGE 26 C mi L. MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING AUGUST 21,2000 setback variances for the west property ’ line to allow a 30 foot setback, with tlie ordinance requiring a 60 foot setback. A second variance is also being requested to the south lot line, which is the lot line adjacent to the bank. Weinberger indicated there is a 24 foot setback from the comer of the building, with the proposed addition being located closer to the front and 40 feet from that property line. Weinberger stated the Green Space Ordinance requires 12 percent of the land to be devoted to green space. Weinberger indicated the property currently ha-.. 27.5 percent, including an area approximately 22,000 square feet to the south of the building that is restricted by an open space easement to require a 100 foot setback to residential property to the south. No change to the green space has been proposed. The Applicant is proposing additional trees and bushes along Kelly Avenue and in the green space between the Super Valu Store and the bank to the south. Weinberger indicated the City Engineer has reviewed the grading and drainage plans and has commented the overall plans appear to be acceptable with the proposed additional hardcover being placed over existing hardcover. The City Engineer has indicated he is not aware of any drainage issues on this property. Weinberger stated the building height will be a ma.ximum of 25 feet, with the ordinance allowing a maximum height of 30 feet. Weinberger stated a parking variance is also required. Retail use requires one parking space for each 150 square feet of retail floor space, with a variance having been granted in 1991 to the parking requirement. The existing size of the retail use of the building would require 134 stalls. with the variance permitting 108 stalls. The total size of the building, including additions, would be 27,605 square feet, which is not entirely devoted to the retail operation of the building. Weinberger indicated the required parking under the ordinance would be 166 parking spaces, with the Applicant proposing 111 parking spaces. The Applicant has indicated he anticipates only one weekend per year where he would have a concern about parking. PAGE 27 NHNUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING AUGUST 21,2000 Weinberger stated a utility easement is located to the north of the building limiting the ability to expand the building out into the parking lot and an open space easement is located over the south 100 feet of the property. The open space area has been regarded to accommodate stormwater flows. Any addition to the rear of the building would negatively impact the ability for the site to handle and treat stormwater runoff. Weinberger stated this property has also lost over 8,000 square feet of parking area due to Hennepin County ’s 1988 reconstruction of the County Road 15 and County Road 19 intersection. with the City granting variances to accommodate a 0 foot setback for the existing parking lot. City Staff is recommending approval of the application based on the hardships listed in the Planner’s Report. Bloomquist noted the City did accept a larger building in 1998 than what is currently being proposed. Bloomquist stated he is not changing any of the green space and has attempted to continue to improve the appearance of the property over the years. Bloomquist s^ted he wishes to update the exterior of the building in order to enhance the city. Bloomquist stated due to the reconstruction of the intersection in that area, traffic flow in his opinion has been greatly improved. Hawn inquired whether a couple of the parking spaces adjacent to County Road 15 could be turned into green space. Bloomquist stated he understands what Hawn is asking, noting he is requesting a variance to the parking. Bloomquist expressed doubts about whether trees could be planted in that area due to the impact on sight lines for travelers on County Road 15. Bloomquist noted he has had problems in the past with sight lines in that area and is intending to construct planter boxes in a portion of the green space. John Kupfer, 2503 Kelly Avenue, commented the Applicant has continually upgrade this property PAGE 28 |j-r NHNUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING AUGUST 21,2000 over the years and feels the proposed project wll only improve the area further. Hugh Bishop, Attomey-at-Law, indicated he represents David Delaney, the owner of the property to the south. Bishop requested the final hardcover figures be calculated and included in the preliminary plat, wth approval being made contingent upon the conditions in the City Engineer’s report. Bloomquist commented he is not increasing the amount of hardcover on this property with this project, noting the addition will be constructed over the existing hardcover. Lindquist commented he does not have a problem with this application. Lindquist moved, Kluth seconded, to recommend approval of Application U2606 Richard Bloomquist, 3333 Shoreline Drive, subject to the conditions outlined in the August 14,2000 Planner’s Report, with the added condition that the hardcover figures be recalculated and approved by City Staff or the City Engineer to verify that the amount of 1 hardcover will not change. Stoddard inquired whether the parking could be moved further back to allow room for one to two feet of green space next to the road. Bloomquist reiterated his concerns regarding visibility going in and out of the parking lot. Bloomquist indicated he has received in the past fi-om people leaving the parking lot that tlteir sight lines were impaired. Stoddard requested the Applicant give some consideration to that option.

Variances August 2L 2000 page-3 r Discussion on Current Variance Requests: A. Setback variances Exhibit C is the proposed site plan. A utility easement is located to the north of the building limiting the ability to expand the building out into the parking lot and an open space easement is located over the south 100' of the property. The open space area has been regraded to accommodate storm water flows. Any addition to the rear of the building would negatively impact the ability for the site to handle and treat stormwater runoff. The City approved a 1 O' setback for the loading dock area adjacent to Kelly Avenue in 1991. The proposed addition would be located 38' from Kelly Avenue. This proposed addition would be the same as the addition approved in 1997. The addition to the east side of the building has been reduced in size. The 1997 addition was approved 10' from the property. This plan would place the scaled down addition 40' from the property line. Please review the 1997 approved site plan attached as Exhibit M. B. Parking variance Mr. Bloomquist has stated only one weekend per year where he would be concerned about parking. The remainder of the year he is not concerned about parking shortages. Hennepin County reconstructed the-intersection of C.R. 15 and C.R. 19 in Navarre in 1988. Super Value lost over 8,000 s.f. of parking lot area. The City granted variances to accommodate a O' setback for the existing parking lot. The City has not received any reports of parking issues with the Super Value lot. No changes to the parking lot have been proposed. C. Hardcover The total hardcover on the property would not change from the existing hardcover. The building additions would change the black top to structure. Tom Kellogg, City Engineer, has reviewed the plan and has stated the overall plans appear acceptable. The 1991 engineering review, assuming the larger additions, found only minimal impact on drainage. A concern in 1991 was the flow of water from the west side of Kelly Avenue to this property. A culvert had been plugged under Kelly. Since, the culvert has been reopened to eliminate the drainage problem west of Kelly and has net had a negative impact on the Super Value site. The water flows to the detention area south of the Super Value store. Review of landscaping plan Please review the landscaping plan and planting schedule. Twenty evergreen trees would be planted along the Kelly Avenue property line and the southeast property line between Super Value and the bank. Additional planting would consist of flowering bushes and crab trees as shown on the plan. U2606Richard Bloomquist.

The addition would include revising the visual appearance of the building to accommodate the new additions. Some of the buildings e.xterior would be replaced by removing some of the wood facing and residing the building. The code would permit approximately 918 s.f. of sign space. The proposed elevations indicate a total of 196 s.f. of sign space on the building. 2 - 22' X 4' Rick’s Super Value logos 1 -10' X 2' ubank atm Staff Recummendation Staff recommends approval of the application to issue a building permit to Rick’s Super Value and to approve variances to side and rear setbacks, parking and hardcover based on the hardships as follows: 1.A utility easement is located to the north of the building limiting the ability to expand the building out into the parking lot and an open space easement is located over the south 100' of the property. The open space area has been regraded to accommodate storm water flows. Any addition to the rear of the building would negatively impact the ability for the site to handle and treat stormwater runoff. 2.Hennepin County ’s 1988 reconstruction of the C.R. 15 and C.R. 19 intersection resulted in the Super Value property losing over 8,000 s.f. of parking area. The City granted variances to accommodate a O' setback for the existing parking lot. 3.The total hardcover on the property would not change from the existing hardcover. The building additions would change the black top to structure. Tom Kellogg, City Engineer, has reviewed the plan and has stated the overall plans appear acceptable.

J. 4. This application was reviewed as Zonmg File #2199. The property is located in the B-3, Commercial Shopping District requiring two acres in area. The property consists of 2.85 acres. In 1988, the Hennepin County Department of Transportation acquired approximately 8,120 s.f. of area of property in order to complete major safety improvements at the intersection of County Roads 15 and 19. This acquisition had a major impact on the existing parking lot and pylon sign located adjacent to the County roadway. Resolution No. 2482 of the City of Orono granted variances for the relocated pylon sign and a 0 front yard setback (required — 20') for the parking lot adjacent to County Roads 15 and 19. In 1991, the City granted variances per Orono Resolution No. 2923 for setback and off-street parking to permit an approximate 47' x 120' addition at the west side of structure. Page 2 of 9 V CITYof ORONO RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL 3842NO. 5. 6. 7. • 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. The City has no record of automobile accidents or property damage resulting from reconfigured parking lot approved in 1991 variance review. At that time, the City granted an off-street parking stall variance approved at 108 parking stalls (required = 134). The City has limited accessory or independent sales operations within the parking lot due to inadequate parking area. A 30' utility easement extends east and west to the immediate north of the structure restricting all expansion northward. In 1974, the City obtained an open space conservation easement over the south 100' of the property restricting all structural expansions to the south of the structure. The only feasible location for e.xpansions of the existing structure is either to the east or west. Shawn Gustafson, the City Engineer, in his report of January 15, 1997 confirmed the 1,600 s.f. increase of hardcover paving required as a result of tliese improvements will have no impact on the stormwater facility located to the south of the structure. Seasonal flooding of the Kelly Avenue roadway results from plugged culvert that brings drainage from west side of roadway to east. Flooding can be reduced in this area with maintenance of culvert. In 1988, Hennepin County acquired some 8,120 s.f. for County road improvement. Loss of this area resulted in more restrictions for off-street parking needs with future expansion. In 1992, the City adopted the new shoreland regulations that would now include commercial properties located within 1,000' of the shoreline of a protected lake. The subject property is located within 500-1,000' of Lake Minnetonka and is Page 3 of 9 irr > j-\ I ' . I.- r m :S^£SH0'S CITY of ORONO RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL NO. a g 4 9 16. 17. 18. 19. 20. 21. allowed 35% hardcover. In 1991, the City approved a site plan that resulted in 71.97% hardcover. The current proposal proposes a total of 73.28% for an increase of 1.31%. 14. Existing hardcover on this property is consistent with the hardcover improvements on surrounding commercial properties located within the shoreland ^areas of the Navane business district. 15. Section 10.42, Subdivision 7 (B) limits the floor-to-air (FAR) ratio at 28%. The applicant proposes 29,481 s.f. of structural improvements or .67 acres or 23.5%. The FAR has not been exceeded. The relocation of the access further south along Shadywood Road will greatly improve safety with use of access as access will be located further away from the intersection of County Roads 15 and 19. Per Section 10.42, Subdivision 7, at least 12% of the 2.8 acre property must be devoted to a green area of 14,930 s.f. The proposed and existing green area consists of approximately 28,600 s.f. of open space. Applicant has agreed to provide tree plantings within the east and south side yards of property. Applicant's consultant has provided three schemes for the final elevations of the north and east facia of the building with the goal of improving the aesthetic appearance of structure. The 29,481 s.f. structure will be the largest commercial structure within the Navarre business district and will provide a standard for the redevelopment of other commercial properties within the business district. Surface drainage resulting from this improvement will have no impact on existing stormw’ater facilities on site nor on the recent Kelly Avenue stormwater improvements located to the south of property. The new uses proposed with structural additions are all permitted and accessory uses within the B-3 zoning district. Page 4 of 9 4 r' t CITY of ORONO RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL NO. 8 8 4i> 22. Lyle Oman, the Building Official, in his report of January 9, 1997 has estimated tvvo service availability charges may need to be paid to the Metropolitan Council Environmental Services based on the area and uses proposed within the new addition. Per the City ’s fee schedule, the City will collect sewer and water adjustment charges based on the final number of SAC charges determined by the Metropolitan Council Environmental Services. Each sewer and water fee is $950.00. 23. The City has received no negative comments from the adjacent residential or commercial property owners notified of this review. 24. The City Council finds that the conditions existing on this property are peculiar to it and do not apply generally to other property in this zoning district^ that granting the variances would not adversely affect traffic conditions, light, air nor pose a fire hazard or other danger to neighboring property; would not merely serve as a convenience to the applicant, but is necessary to alleviate a demonstrable hardship or difficulty; is necessary to preserve a substantial propelty right of the applicant; and would be in keeping vvith the spirit and intent of the Zoning Code and Comprehensive Plan of the City. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Orono hereby approves the commercial site plan and landscape plan by Planmark dated November 12, 1996, most revised date January 31, 1997, and approves hardcover variance within the 500-1,000 ’ setback area, structural setback variances and off-sticet parking variance based on the unique findings and hardships noted above; and approves the v ity ’s issuing a building pev lit Richard Bloomquist for the 1,456 s.f. addition at the northwest side of structure an;’ hjrl s.f addition at the north and east side of structure as shown on the above referenced commercial site plan, subject the follow'ing conditions: 1.Upon application for a building permit, applicant shall provide the following information with the building permit application: A.

Minnesota: NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of Orono, FINDINGS 1. This application was reviewed as Zoning File #1304. 2. The property is located in the B-3, Shopping Center Business District requiring a minimum of 2 acres in area. The property consist of approximately 2 acres in area. 3. The Orono Planning Commission reviewed this application on Jul> 18, 1988, and recommended approval of the variances as amended basec upon the following findings: A) The location of the sign will not create a sighting probler for any of the users of the intersection of County Roads 19 anc 15. B) The location of the sign will not present a safety hazard tc the users of the public road way or parking lot of the Supe: Valu store. Page 1 of 4 City of ORONO RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL NO. 2482 C) The parking area will be separated from the county road improvements by approximately 10'/these improvements consist of 1 1/2’ wide bituminous/berm, 6 inch bituminous curb, sidewalk, and boulevard area. D) The County will provide a 1 1/2' buffer so that cars will not extend out over the walkway adjacent to the north and east lot lines of the Super Valu parking lot. b; The loss of some 8,127 s.f. of parking lot area has created a major hardship for the applicant. The need for the setbacks has been created not by a more intense use of the property, but by a public safety need to improve the intersections of 15 and 19 in Navarre. 4. The City Council has considered this application including the findings and recommendations of the Planning Commission, reports by City staff, comments by the applicant and the effect of the proposed variances on the health, safety and welfare of the community. 5. The City Council finds that the conditions existing on this property are peculiar to it and do not apply generally to other property in this zoning district; that granting the variances would not adversely affect traffic conditions, light, air nor pose a fire hazard or other danger to neighboring property; would not merely serve as a convenience to the applicant, but is necessary to alleviate a demonstrable hardship or difficulty; is necessary to preserve a substantial property right of the applicant; and would be in keeping with the spirit and intent of the Zoning Code and Comprehensive Plan of the City. CONCLUSIONS, ORDER AND CONDITIONS Based upon one or more of the findings noted above, the Orono City Council hereby grants variances to Municipal Zoning Code Section 10.61, Subdivision 3 (E), Section 10.42, Subdivision 7 (D) and Section 10.61, Subdivision 5 (B) permitting the relocation of a pylon sign located 3' off the street right-of-way requiring approval of a 7' or 70% variance and the realignment of parking areas adjacent to County Roads 15 and 19 set O' from the lot line rather than the required 20* requiring a 100% variance, subject to the following conditions: 1. Applicant is hereby advised that if the existing sign is to be relocated or a new sign installed within the substandard setback a that this must be approved by the City prior to the installation.

These signs are necessary because of traffic safety problems and boating safety issues in the Noerenberg Channel caused by boaters picking up vehicle drivers in the channel. This situation is the result of overflow parking from the Maxwell Bay Landing. Hennepin County requires approval of a Council resolution before No Parking Signs are installed on County Roads in a City. We are recommending Council approval of the attached resolution.

All of the other roads in the vicinity of the landing are posted “No Parking”, therefore this is the closest available parking; and WHEREAS, this parking is creating a traffic safety and boating safety hazard as boaters are picking up the vehicle driveis in the Noerenberg Channel at the County Road 51 bridge. In order to pick up the vehicle drivers on the east channel bank, the southbound boaters are crossing the channel and conflicting with northbound boaters in the channel creating a safety hazard. NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS THEREBY RESOLVED, that the City requests that Hennepin County install and maintain "No Parking Vehicles with Trailers Tow Away Zone"signs on both sides ofNorth Shore Drive (County Road 51), between Noerenberg Bridge and County Road 84 (also known as Old Crystal Bay Road).

Gappa Title Director of Public Services Administrator Reviewed: Agenda Section: Public Services's Directors Report Item Description: School Zone Traffic Control for Old Crystal Bay Road r The opening of the new middle school, directly across the street from the high school, and the changing of the high school start time has resulted in traffic congestion, during peak times. The high school now starts at 7:50 a.m., and the middle school starts at 8:00 a m. This time change was made to allow for both the high school and middle students to ride on the same bus. The buses unload students at the high school first then cross old Crystal Bay Road to unload students at the middle school. The school bus traffic, combined with the large number of students being dropped off by parents at school, resulted in major traffic congestion and gridlock conditions on the first several days of school. This resulted in two hazardous situations with pedestrians crossing Old Crystal Bay Road and southbound traffic on Old Crystal Bay Road backing up onto County Road 6. The traffic backup on the county road was extremely hazardous because of the high speed traffic on this highway. We have experimented with several different solutions to this problem and have developed a traffic control system that appears to be acceptable. This solution requires a 4-way stop sign at the new south middle/high school driveway and crosswalk. Without this stop sign, vehicles have a difficult time entering and exiting the parking lots and when the parking lot backups extend onto Old Crystal Bay the whole system becomes gridlocked. With the 4-way stop sign, the drivers are forced to stop and take turns passing through this intersection area. This kept all of the vehicles moving at slow steady speed and kept the traffic backups confined to Old Crystal Bay Road and off of County Road 6. The stop signs also provide safer conditions for the pedestrians in the crosswalk. Basically, the plan is to have the middle school vehicles use the south entrance for both entering and exiting the parking lot and to circulate in a counter clockwise direction through the parking lot. This provides room for traffic queuing in the parking lot at the driveway exit slop sign and limits conflicts with the buses at the north driveway. The high school parking lot circulation is to enter at the north driveway and exit at the south driveway. This plan will require monitoring the north bus entrance driveway and periodically directing traffic to facilitate school bus movements. This monitor can also restrict pedestrian crossings at this driveway. This driveway monitoring should be the responsibility of the school district. The 4-way stop sign can be installed under the provisions of Stop Sign Warrant 2B-5 No. 1 in the Minnesota Manual on Uniform Traffic control Devices Manual which allows for installation of stop signs at intersections where "application of the normal right-of way rule is unduly hazardous" Without the installation of this 4-way stop sign two hazardous conditions exist, an unsafe school pedestrian crossing and traffic backups onto County Road 6, a heavy traffic and high speed County Road. We are also recommending that flashing red lights be installed on the two stop signs on Old Crystal Bay Road. These are necessary because the stop signs are not located at a normal intersection with two streets intersecting where drivers would normally expect a stop sign and also because of the school pedestrian crosswalk. Per the CUP resolution for the new middle school Condition No. 10, the school district is responsible for the installation costs for a flashing light warning system at the new crosswalk. The City will then own and operate the warning system. We are also recommending installation of "No Passenger Loading and Unloading" signs to the no parking area along Old Crystal Bay Road in the vicinity of the Orono school’s campus as there are numerous students being dropped off along the road shoulder. Parents are doing this to avoid the traffic queuing in the parking lots, at the designated drop off locations, in front of the schools. This is extremely hazardous as students are walking along the road shoulder and crossing Old Crystal Bay Road in numerous locations. COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED: Motion to approve installation of a 4-way stop sign on Old Crystal Bay Road at the south middle/ high school driveway, pedestrian crosswalk, based on Stop Sign Warrant 2B-5 No. 1. in the Minnesota Manual on UniformTraffic Control Devices Manual. The two stop signs on Old Crystal Bay Road should also include red flashing lights. Per the CUP resolution for the new middle school Condition No. 10, the school district is responsible for the installation costs for a flashing light warning system at the new crosswalk. The City will then own and operate the warning system.

The open house was immediately followed by a public hearing, which was attended by approximately 20 City representatives (staff. Council, Planning & Park Commission members) and approximately 20 members of the public. Following a brief presentation of the primary focus of the Plan, which stressed that the philosophy and goals that have guided the City since the 1960’s continue to be the foundation of the Plan, the public hearing discussion primarily included: - land use questions about the 3 areas proposed for higher density housing options - the approval process and Orono’s relationship with Met Council - options for provision of a wider range of housing options The tenor of the public discussion was decidedly favorable to the few land use changes being made which potentially provide additional housing options for a wider range of lifestyles and income levels. After closing the hearing. Planning Commission voted 5-0 to recommend that Council adopt the plan subject to minor revisions which individual Planning Commissioners will forward to staff no later than 4:30 p.m. on September 6. Orono 2000-2020 CMP September 8,2000 Page 2 Plarming Commission members have individually reviewed the draft text and some have submitted their comments and suggested revisions to me. Revisions proposed by staff based on those comments, are summarized in Exhibit D. 4T w Review/Approval Process Council has had the draft text for review since early August, and is encouraged to address to staff any additions, corrections, or questions that may arise regarding the text. Please also review the Planning Commission comments. Exhibit D. A resolution for Preliminary Approval of the CMP is attached for Comcil adoption. The resolution will give staff authority to distribute the CMP to adjacent municipalities and other government jurisdictions (as listed in Chapter 5 of the CMP), and to submit the Plan to Met Council for their review and approval. The adjacent municipalities will be asked to comment on the Plan within 30 days. Concurrently, Met Council staff will complete an initial review of the plan and advise the City whether the Plan is considered as complete. If it is considered not complete, they will advise what additional information is necessary. Upon Met Council staff certification that the Plan is complete, the 60-day review clock will start, the same statutory time constraints under which the City administers zoning applications. Met Council staff will review the Plan for consistency with Met Council policies and directives contained in the Regional Blueprint and other Chapters of the Metropolitan Development Guide; and for consistency with the statutory requirements of the Metropolitan Land Planning Act and other applicable state and federal laws. After Met Council staff have completed their review, the Plan will be forwarded to the Met Council with one of two recommendations: Waiver of Extended Review if the Plan would result in no impact or departure from regional system plans, is consistent with other regional policies, and is compatible with adjacent units of government; or Council Action Item if the Plan does not conform with regional system plans, has a potential impact on or departure from a regional system, is inconsistent with other regional plans or policies, and/or is incompatible with other jurisdictions ’ plans. In this case the Met Council members are provided the opportunity to discuss and debate action on the Plan, and determine whether any modifications will be required. • I ' '.V lU fc- A' v\ • r*• ^ t^i- U^ n* L'K.' \f I ■ Orono 2000-2020 CMP September 8,2000 Page 3 In the event that Met Council requires a Plan modification, the City Council would determine an appropriate response, and any Plan modification would be considered as a resubmittal, re-starting the 60-day clock. Upon final approval by Met Council, the City Council will formally adopt the Plan by resolution, and the City will then begin the process of implementation, which will primarily involve certain amendments to the zoning code. Based on the experiences of other cities that have been involved in this process to date, I would expect that review by the Met Council will take a number of months. COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED Adopt or amend the attached resolution granting preliminary approval of the Orono 2000-2020 Community Management Plan; directing City staff to revise the Plan taking into account the recommendations of the Planning Commission; and distribute the Plan to adjacent municipalities and other affected government Jurisdictions, and directing staff to submit the Plan to the Metropolitan Council for review and approval.

An index of acronyms will be included in the appendix to assist the reader. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. The appendix will also include a detailed table of reference materials that are cited in the body of the text. These include environmental studies, government reports and rules, etc. Municipal Code sections referred to in the text will be cited by number as well as title. The Plan will be bound in a 3-ring binder for ease of use and maintenance. The frontispiece will include a listing of Council and Commission members as well as staff and consultants who contributed to the final product. The appendix will include a table listing the various meetings and work sessions held during preparation of the Plan. Where appropriate, certain words in the Plan will be modified to reduce the use of definite or absolute statements or words where such terms might be considered as confrontational or inflexible. However, these changes will only occur where softening of terms will not dilute the City’s intent. Examples include use of "impossible'' or "never" or "not" where "difficult" or "unlikely" or "not" will get the point across. Photos or illustrations will be added to the text where they will add to the reader’s understanding or add to the readability of the document. CMP FOUNDATION On Page 2-14, General Planning Policy 16 will be slightly reworded per Exhibit D-1 ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION On Page 3A-32, General Policies for Natural Resource Management, an additional Policy (#17) will be added per Exhibit D-2 LAND USE PLAN On Page 3B-8, Basic Land Use Concepts and Principles, the 3"* paragraph will be amended per Exhibit D~3. These same language revisions will be incorporated into the nearly identical paragraph in Section 4A on Page 4A-4. On Page 3B-13, Basic Land Use Concepts and Principles, Land Use Goal I will be amended per Exhibit D-4. Page I f^- >> ill'.' .V.’ In the appendix, a map defining the b.'>undaries of each separate MUSA Part (I thru XXXXII) will be included. On Page 33-39, regarding City policies on Big Island, the language will be rev ised and augmented to indicate the City ’s change in philosophy re: Hennepin Parks ownership, per Exhibit D-5. HOUSING PLAN On Page 3C-2, the language of Housing Plan Purpose 1 will be revised per Exhibit D-6. On Page 3C-7 and at all other locations where the Population Projections table appears, a footnote will be added that indicates as follows: "The ‘saturation’ population estimates are based on current and planned zoning densities and land uses, as well as on the City ’s analysis of remaining developable land." On Page 3C-11, the second paragraph will include a reference note that the 1978 windshield survey of housing conditions was conducted by City staff and documented in the 1980 CMP; and in the 3"* paragraph will reference more accurately the housing study and windshield survey completed by City staff in 1997, per Exhibit D-7. On Page 3C-15, a sentence will be added to the second paragraph noting that the state policy on property taxes has a severe impact on aging long-time residents’ ability to remain in their homes, per Exhibit D-8. TRANSPORTATION PLAN At the end of the first paragraph on Page 4A-5 and in similar paragraphs on pages 3B-10, 3C-6 and 4C-9, decreasing population projections through the last 3 decades will be acknowledged by adding a sentence per Exhibit D-9. On Page 4A-11, language will be added to the end of the first paragraph to strengthen the idea that higher density requires transportation improvements that will lead adverse environmental impacts per Exhibit D-10. On Page 4A-9 paragraph 1, the wording will be modified slightly to clarify that the intersection being discussed in that paragraph is Co. Rd. 6 and Willow Drive. In paragraph 3, language revisions acknowledge the current planning process underway involving the Orono and Long Lake Planning Commissions. See Exhibit D-IJ. On Page 4A-16, Urban Transportation Policy 3, a sentence will be added regarding ensuring adequate road design standards to accommodate large emergency vehicles, per Exhibit D-12. The same language will be added to Rural Transportation Policy 5 on Page 4A-18. On Page 4A-19, the language of Rural Transportation Policy 9 will be slightly revised per Exhibit D-1 3, Page 2 h.. A half-page map will be added to the Transportation section to depict the "Ring Route" concept which is referred to many time in the Plan. On Page 4A-34, language will be added to describe the specific reasons Orono remains opposed to widening of County Road 15, per Exhibit D-14. COMPREHENSIVE SEWER POLICY PLAN On Page 4C-8, the first paragraph which discusses the ‘development paradox ’ will have some language added to further describe the potential ramifications of sewer extension to the rural watershed, per Exhibit D-15. On Page 4C-12, the third paragraph will have added language to further define why Orono’s population projections have declined since the 1970's Exhibit D-16. On Page 4C-24, Rural Sewage Treatment Policy 16 will have wording added to note that requiring primary and alternate drainfield sites for new homes will reduce the likelihood of drastic measures such as condemnation for solving septic problems, per Exhibit D-17. PARKS, TRAILS & OPEN SPACE PLAN On Page 4E-17, General Park, Open Space and Trail Policy 8 is revised to reference Land Trusts and private easements as methods of preserving open spaces, per Exhibit D-18. On Page 4E-20, Rural Park, Open Space and Trail Policy 7 is modified to note that Orono does not favor paving the Luce Line Trail per Exhibit D-19. On Page 4E-23, the Parks, Open Space and Trail Plan item 7 will be revised per Exhibit D-20 to note that new bridges constructed as part of Highway 12 rerouting must maintain all existing transportation and recreational uses (rather than just pedestrian and biking uses). The following three Parks suggestions from the Park Commision Chair: - Table of City Parks will be modified to include Chevy Chase park, since this was included as an undeveloped city park in the 1980 CMP. It will be listed as an active mini-park with no facilities. - The City portion of Saga Hill Park will be classified as a neighborhood park rather than as a Nature/Conservation Area - The Parks, Open Spaces, Trails & Recreation Areas Map (Map 4E-2) will be modified to include Chevy Chase Park, Pleasant View (West end of Big Island) and Seven Nations Park. PUBLIC SERVICES Reference will be made in the Police Services section that all officers are trained in advanced first aid, that all on-duty squad cars are equipped with defibrillators, and that the PD cooperates Page 3 r JT ( if:' fit with county, state and federal police agencies in investigations and crime prevention. On Page 4F-4, Police Service Policy 5 is revised to reflect that the ‘master patrolman’ concept is no longer in use (because the City now has a trained investigator) See Exhibit D-21. The Metropolitan Mosquito Control District will be added to the list of regional agencies having jurisdiction in Orono. A listing of the various political districts covering Orono will be included in the Government Agencies and Services section. 1 Page 4 EXHIBIT D-1 Added language to General Planning Policy 16 on Page 2-14 16. Orono ivill continue to emphasize active citizen participation in policy formation and policy administration. Local meetings have always had the friendly, open-door characteristic of New England Town Meetings. Communication with the residents, both on general matters and on specific neighborhood development proposals, will continue to be a priority policy of this Plan and of this City. Education vrill continue to be a critical element in establishment and administration of City policies. r t. EXHIBIT D-2 Adding Policy 17 to General Policies for Natural Resource Management On Page 3A-32. IL Citizen efforts to protect and enhance the natural environment will be encouraged. The City will encourage individual citizens and private groups or organizations to be pro-active in the preservation of the environment in which they live. Activities such as reforestation. prairie and wetland restoration, minimizing use of phosphorus on lawns and in detergents, lake and stream trash cleanup, and other citizen-driven efforts are an important element in Orono’s commitment to environmental protection. 1 EXHIBIT D-3 Revise wording of Paragraph 3 on Page 3B-8 (Basic Land Use Concepts and Principles) ? Orono is partly in the Metropolitan Urban Ser\ice Area and partly in the rural ser\ ice area. The Metropolitan Council as part of its Regional Growth Strategy has established a MUSA boundary that rings the Twin Cities defining the urban area, the permanent rural area, and an urban reserve which is expected to be converted from rural to urban over the next 40 years. Within the MUSA area, metropolitan facilities will be provided for urban development. Outside the MUSA area, in the Permanent Rural Area, developed density is expected to be low and metropolitan facilities and capacities will not be provided. In the past the Metropolitan Council's broad-brush maps have shown the MUSA boundary to be running through Orono dividing our City into Urban and Rural sections. While the current MUSA boundary does divide Orono, the illustrative 2020 MUSA shown in the Metropolitan Council’s “Regional Growth Strategy” (Map 3B-1) places all but the northwest tip of Orono within the MUSA, and virtually all of Orono is shown within the MUSA by 2040. -This does not match Qrono’s goals or intention for expansion of sewers, as certain areas of the City are likely to never require munieipal se>ver. Since certain areas within the City of Orono may never require municipal sewer due to the use of fully functional private sewage treatment systems, the Regional Growth Strategy’s illustrative MUSA map encompasses areas of Orono to which it mav ultimately not apply. r.

As an outlying municipality on the developing fringe of the Metro area, especially one with miles of desirable lakeshore, it is easy to forget or to overlook the true housing situation in Orono. By providing a brief review of exis ting housing stati stics, one quickly realiz es tha t Of ono is not a typical "new” suburb of middle income monotony. The housing plan includes a brief review of existing housing statistics which illustrates the variety and diversity of existing housing in Orono. I ^ ..........iflriB EXHIBIT D-7 Language revisions to Housing Plan, Page 3C-11, re: 1978 & 1997 v indshield surv eys of existing housing conditions Condition of Existing Housing The City staff conducted a housing condition “windshield survey” fa brief visual inspection of properties as viewed from the public streeO in 1978 which is fullv documented in the 1980 CMP. That survey indicated that approximatelv 90% of the City's existing housing was in good condition, 7% or 173 units in fair condition, and about 3% in deteriorated or dilapidated condition. That survey used recognized guidelines for rating each unit surveyed by exterior structural condition. The results of the 1978 windshield survey indicated that a ver>' high proportion of the housing stock in the City was in good condition by exterior appearance. Most of the deteriorated or dilapidated structures were located in the older areas of Navarre or in some of the rural housing clusters identified in the 1980 CSPP. Others were isolated houses which had not been maintained or occupied in many years. It was also noted during the windshield survey that several of the deteriorated housing units were either in the process of or had already undergone certain amounts of rehabilitation. A further review of housing in the City in 1997 suggested that while the condition of housing in the rural areas and on the lakeshore had remained generally good, much of the older housing in the Navarre area appeared to be in need of major maintenance. Because Navarre provides a significant portion of Orono's 'affordable' housing stock (housing meeting established rent/valuation guidelines for low’ and moderate income groups), the poor apparent housing condition was deemed to be a critical concem..As a result, in Jutc 1997 the City initiated the Navarre Housing Study (“Navarre Housing Study” completed bv Brad Bressler. Planning Assistant, final report dated December 2 . 1997k including a field study, a mail survey, and research. The surv'ey collected demographic and income information, as well as information regarding residents' plans for, and ability to complete, future rehabilitation. The study is summarized below. (NO CHANGE TO TABLE 3C-5) EXHIBIT D-8 Language addition on Page 3C-15 regarding property tax impact on aging long-term homeowners I.Orono's local needs assessment program has identified a strong need for a broader range of housing choices, not the least of which is senior housing, and a strong need for substantial housing rehabilitation. In many cases, this need can be traced back to the major development surge that occurred in Orono between 1946 and 1955. These post war years were when most of our population increase occurred as returning servicemen purchased former seasonal lake cottages and turned them into year-rornd residences. They raised families and stayed in their home. These people are now retired and on fixed incomes. They are often widows or widowers without ready resources. This phenomenon also accounts for Oronc's relatively low persons per household figure. A modest numbc. of these long term Orono residents are living in substandard conditions by todays standards. These Orono residents are particularly affected bv Minnesota’s property tax system in which taxes are ever-increasing due to skvrocketin2 property values. Often, fixed incomes force retired residents to choose between selling their homes or foregoing certain expenses such as upkeep of their residence in order to pav taxes. They need help or they will be forced from their homes with nowhere to go. Demographically, Orono’s older-than-average population is aging and will in the next two decades be seeking housing alternatives that provide for a much wider range of lifestyles than are currently provided. Thus, Orono has identified one of our greatest needs as housing rehabilitation for senior-citizen homeowners and for alternative senior housing accommodations in the immediate lake area. A second pressing need is for a wider range of housing options for middle income residents, such as those who grew up in Orono and would like to raise a family here, but cannot find suitably priced homes. A third identified need is for the empty nesters or professionals whose lifestyle better matches the amenities of attached unit housing. ^ -vT 'V t hi: lli. u EXfflBIT D-9 Added language to paragraph re: decreasing population projections that appears on Page 4A-5 as well as on Pages 3B-10,3C>6 and 4C-9 The results of these changes on the Twin Cities region and on Orono are significant. Orono's ultimate population projections have been dropping from estimates of 37,000 made in 1970, to 23,000 in 1972, to 14,000 in 1974, to the Metropolitan Council's projection of 11,000 made in 1979. Population trends during the last 20 years and a careful analysis of development capabilities of remaining land as compared to Orono's current zoning, suggest an ultimate population of around 9,400. This figure is very close to our current (2000) estimated population of7,800. This downward trend over the last 3 decades is clearly a result of Orono’s 1975 citv-wide rezoning to lower residential densities. reactin2 to environmental concerns regarding protecting the water quality of Lake Minnetonka. I 1 ih ?• "V kt'El. K \L^ EXHIBIT D-10 Added language to first paragraph of Land Use Impacts on Transportation on Page 4A-11 As density of residential development increases, the demand on local and collector streets similarly increases. However, Orono ’s commitment to low-density residential development for protection of Lake Minnetonka, and the concurrent infrastructure limitations that functionally and by design prevent commercial expansion into the majority of Orono that is zoned for low-density residential uses, have resulted in a level of development that does not require major additions to or expansions of the existing local and collector street system. Such additions or expansions would undoubtedly be necessary if the City were to increase density in the rural areas, and as noted elsewhere in the CMP, would ultimately result in adverse environmental impacts which are avoided hv maintaining low density development. r" EXHIBIT D-11 Wording revisions to Page 4A-9, paragraphs 1 and 3 (Summary of Existing Transportation Issues) Along County Road 6, where commuter traffic has dramatically increased due to congestion on Highway 12, the many individual driveway accesses as well as the numerous intersecting private and public roads create multiple points of possible traffic conflict. The addition of turn lanes and bypass lanes at minor certain intersections in recent years by Hennepin County has helped to keep traffic moving. The primary intersection of concern is with County Road 6 at Willow Drivewhic h: Willow Drive Actions as a minor arterial that connects from Highway 12 to County Road 24 and ultimately to U.S. Highway 55 in Medina. Turnback of current Highway 12 from MnDOT’s jurisdiction to that of Hennepin County is an expected result of completion of the Highway 12 rerouting. Orono has begun the process of working with the City of Long Lake, MnDOT and Hennepin County to plan for this turnback. This planning process , which is underway as a joint effort of the Long Lake and Orono Planning Commissions, will determine what needs to be done to Highway 12 to ensure it functions as a main street in a pedestrian-friendly downtown area, while still serving as a minor arterial and providing access to local businesses along the roadway. ^11 I I <1 EXHIBIT D-12 Add sentence to Urban Transportation Policy 3 on Page 4A-16 and Rural Transportation Policy 5 on Page 4A-18 3. Urban streets will be constructed to urban design standards. All urban streets will be paved and of sufficient width to accommodate the number of properties being served. Intersections and driveway aprons will be designed and regulated according to commonly accepted engineering safety standards. Street drainage will be designed to utilize existing natural drainage systems and to avoid direct runoff into the Lake. Streets and cul-de-sacs will be designed so that emergency vehicles such as lar2e fire trucks have adequate space to operate efFicientlv and effectively. 5. Private rural roadways will be constructed to rural design standards. The City will regulate private road design standards to ensure environmental protection and adequate all weather access to all properties. The type and width of road surface required will vary with the number of residences to be served and hence the amount of expected vehicle usage. The length of dead-end roads will be limited for public safety purposes. Private rural roads and cul-de-sacs will be designed so that emergency vehicles such as large fire trucks have adequate space to operate efficiently and effectively. ■ r i. r EXHIBIT D-13 Revised wording for Rural Transportation Policy 9 on Page 4A-19 9.The City will not pro mo te mass Mass transportation serv ices for rural Orono are not economical, hence the City will promote the use of Park and Ride locations where local service is not feasible. The planned rural land use density cannot economically support public transit services. Existing bus routes pass through the rural area enroute between Long Lake, Wayzata and urban Orono. These routes are sufficient to serve Orono's rural needs and will in fact provide additional rural service as the need for additional urban service increases. No new rouce locations are necessary as rural residents desiring to use transit services will use tlie established park and ride locations in Navarre and Wayzata and the planned locations at the intersection of CSAH 6/ US 12 and near downtown Long Lake. j EXHIBIT D-14 Additional language to Planned Transportation Improvements on Page 4A-34 describing why Orono is opposed to widening Co. Rd. 15 B. County Road 15 (Shoreline Drive) Hennepin County ’s recent reconstruction of County Road 15 from Orono Orchard Road eastward to Wayzata has improved the safety and reliability of that segment of this congested commuter route, by adding a center left turn lane as well as acceleration and turn lanes at appropriate locations. Future improvements to County Road 15 between Orono Orchard Road and 'he Navarre area will be limited by adjacency to the lakeshore and the inability to increase the right-of-way width. There are no current plans at this time to widen County Road 15 to four lanes, although traffic volumes far exceed the levels necessary to warrant such a configuration. Orono remains opposed to further widening of County Road 15 within Orono due to potential negative environmental impacts on the adjacent lake area: due to the limited area available for expanding the roadbed because of adjacent lakes and wetlands: because this road must continue to serve its dual function as a local access road as well as a minor arterial: and because it’s ability to serve os a low-speed Scenic Parkway would be reduced bv anv expansion. Orono ’s position for the past 20 years has been to discourage widening of County Road 15 to four Irbies at any location. Instead, Orono will continue to encourage increased use of the Ring Route to take traffic volume off of County Road 15, thereby effectively increasing its local service capacity. Orono fiuther encourages the development of a new or improved connection south to Highway 7 for areas west of Orono as another alternative commuter link to the metropolitan area. P- EXHIBIT D-15 Additional wording on page 4C-8 of Basic Sewage Treatment Concepts and Principles The development paradox is that if municipal services are extended into rural zones, the cost of these services taxes the land to the point that development is required. Particularly in the case of sewers, even if extended to existing pockets of development "to solve a pollution problem", inflation, topography and sparse settlement combine to send cost skyrocketing. Such costs can be paid only by increasing development, which in turn causes density increases, loss of wetlands and increasing levels of storm water nutrient pollution. This spiral effect results in statistically even greater levels of pollution than the original sewage "problem" might have been. While extendine sewer service to suburban and rural neighborhoods may in and of itself allow for increased housing density, this approach would ignore the dangers of destroying the environmental balance of Lake Minnetonka due to the secondary effects of urban stormwater runoff. For example, Eugene Hickok's 1973 Storm Water Impact Statement identifies up to ten times more phosphorus alone from urban storm water runoff than from Orono's existing rural land use. EXHIBIT D-17 16. Wording addition to Rural Sewage Treatment Policy 16 on Page 4C-24 Evidence of improper system functioning will require immediate corrective action. Whenever an existing on-site system should be found to be operating improperly, the property owner will be responsible for correcting the deficiencies in an expeditious manner. Such corrective measures include a number of options and alternatives ranging from simple maintenance to system replacement. If the owner cannot afford repairs or refuses to correct a demonstrated problem, the City will cause the repairs to be made and the cost to be assessed to the property. Because all properties must have designated both primary and alternate drainfield sites before new home construction is allowed, most homes constmcted since the late 1970*s have a location available for system replacement if necessary. Alternative solutions where system replacement cannot be accomplished may include use of innovative systems or holding tanks. However. If in the hi2hlv unusual circumstance where repairs are a reasonable solution is impossible, the City will condemn the property. -> r. EXHIBIT D-18 8. Adding language to General Park, Open Space and Trail Policy 8 on Page 4F'17 in reference to easements and land trusts. Orono will encourage the preservation of private open space and will identify and acquire additional public open space parcels as the opportunity arises. As can be seen on Map 4E-2 and in the table of existing facilities, Orono already has a high percentage of land area devoted to recreation open space. However, once land is developed, the opportunity for its preservation as open space is lost. An identified high priority of Orono residents is the preservation of additional open space within the City. Conservation easements, private donations, land trusts and other methods can allow the private sector to olav a major role in preservation of open spaces in Orono. 1 r **w '-■I 1 EXHIBIT D-19 Modifying Rural Park, Open Space and Trail Policy 7 on Page 4E-20 to note that the City is not interested in the Luce Line trail being paved (wording excerpted from Council Resolution #3682 adopted 2-12-96) 7.The City will encourage the Minnesota DNR to maintain and improve the Luce Line trait, and to manage its use consistent with the rural residential area it traverses.

Tax Levies - Actual 2000 vs. Proposed 2001 2. Tax Capacity, Local Levy, and Tax Capacity Rates 3. Effect of 2001 Tax Levy and Budget on Homes 4. Resolution Adopting the Proposed 2000 Tax Levy Collectible in 2001 5. Resolution to Adopt the Proposed 2001 Budget Proposed 2001 Budget The proposed 2001 budget reflects an effort to manage expenditures and hold the tax levy to a moderate increase while accommodating increased expenditures related to addressing the increased demand for police services, enabling the City to retain and recruit high-quality staff, and strengthening the City’s ability to address upcoming capital needs. Tax Levy, Tax Capacity Rate, and Impact on Property Owners The total tax levy required to fmid the proposed 2001 budget is $2,443,350. This is an increase of $79,790 or 3.38% over the 2000 levy. The estimated tax capacity for taxes payable in the year 2001 is $17,595,396. This is an increase of $1,817,706 or 11.52% over the 2000 tax capacity. Based on the City's tax capacity and the proposed tax levy, the proposed tax capacity rate is 13.761%. This is a 7.06% reduction from the 2000 tax capacity rate. Based on the reduction in the City's tax capacity rate, and assuming no change in property value, the City's share of the property tax bill on a home valued at $100,000 would decrease by $12.09 or 7.1%. For a home valued at $500,000, the City's share of the property tax bill would decrease bv $81.13 or 7.1%. General Fund Budget Expenditures General Fund expenditures are highlighted as part of the proposed budget information because they have the greatest impact on the tax levy. The proposed 2001 General Fund budget expenditures are $4,290,440. This is an increase of $236,960 or 5.85% over the 2000 budget. The General Fund budget reflects the impacts of the additional police officers hired in 2000, and the market-based pay adjustments that were phased in effective January 1 and July 1 of 2000. The General Fund budget is basically unchanged in all other areas. Request for Council Action continued Page 2 September 7,2000 Proposed 2001 Budget and Tax Levy - Resolutions Levy for Future Capital Needs The proposed 2001 levy reflects the City’s plans for the funding of upcoming capital needs, esp>ecially the City’s share of the cost of replacing the Long Lake fire station, which will need to occur in 2002 due to the Highway 12 upgrade project. The proposed 2001 budget includes a levy- of $90,000 to be placed into the Improvement and Equipment Outlay Fund and designated for these upcoming capital needs. By beginning to fund the capital needs at this time, the City will be better able to provide the necessary funding in future years without requiring large increases in the propert>' tax levy. Sewer and Water Fee Increases 1' 1. As called for by the City's plan for funding long-term repair and replacement of the City's water and sewer infrastructure, the proposed budget reflects a 3.2% increase in water rates and a 2.8% increase in sewer rates. Adoption of Proposed Budget and Tax Levy The City is required to adopt a budget aPd tax levy so that the levy can be certified to the County by September 15, and so that a summary of the budget can be published along with the notice of the Truth in Taxation hearing in November. After adoption, the proposed tax levy cannot be increased, but can be reduced prior to final budget adoption following the Truth in Taxation hearing in December. The proposed budget can also be changed prior to final adoption in December. Resolutions adopting the preliminary 2001 budget and proposed tax levy are attached for Council adoption.

Very simply, what this means is that generally if a city is increasing its tax levy, it needs to hold this public hearing. This requirement was passed due to a perception that cities and counties were claiming they were freezing taxes; when in fact the levy was increasing but the tax rate was frozen due to tax base grov/th. Under the law, the local government calculates what its tax rate would be in the coming year if the levy was held constant. Essentially, a baseline tax rate is calculated based on the prior year's levy and the current year tax base. II the levy will result in an increase in the tax rate over the baseline tax rate, the City Council must adopt a resolution at a public hearing to app- 3ve the tax rate. The resolution must be filed w ith the County Auditor by October 20 of each year. The information necessary to calculate the baseline tax rate will not be provided by the County Auditor until October 1. Based on this timeline, staff recommends holding the public hearing and adopting a resolution at the October 9 Council meeting. COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED: Motion to schedule a public hearing regarding the City's tax rate for 7:00 p.m. on Monday, October 9,2000. _ poi i\i^n SEP n 2000 C»U or UHONO REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION DATE; September 7,2000 ITEM NO: / ^ Department Approval: Name Lin Vee Title City Clerk Adminbtrator Reviewed:Agenda Section: City Administrator's Report Item Description: Appointment of Additional Election Judges for the September 12,2000 Primary Election - Resolution At the meeting of August 14,2000, Council adopted Resolution #4508 appointing election judges for the September 12 Primary Election.

This program is a two-year effort in part to change how legislators, the media, and citizens look at local government. The view of cities that is often put forth by legislators, the media, and the citizens is that what cities are best at is creating red tape and raising taxes. This perception is, of course, very narrowly focused and very erroneous. In fact, the services cities provide have a very direct positive impact on the quality of life of communities. Also, cities provide a wide range of services while receiving only 15% of each dollar paid in property taxes. The League is now preparing its legislative agenda for the coming session. As part of that effort, the League's policy committees will be reviewing all of its policies in the context of the Building Quality Communities initiative. The hope is that framing policies in this way will help to make the important connection between cities and quality of life. Another important step is to be able to demonstrate to legislators and the media that there is widespread support among Minnesota's cities for the Building Quality Communities effort. To assist with this, the League is requesting that each city adopt a resolution declaring its commitment to join in the “Minnesota Cities: Building Quality Communities ” statewide initiative. The resolution includes the designation of a key contact person from the City to coordinate efforts between the City and the League. This could be a Council Member or it could be the City Administrator. A resolution is attached for Council consideration. COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED: Motion to adopt a resolution declaring the City's commitment to join in the “Minnesota Cities: Building Quality Communities ” statewide initiative. h' A RESOLUTION DECLARING THE CITY OF ORONO ’S COMMITMENT TO JOIN IN THE “MINNESOTA CITIES; BUILDING QUALITY COMMUNITIES ” STATEWIDE INITIATIVE WHEREAS, the top values and priorities of citizens include safety, family, job opportunities, health, the well-being of children, and recreational opportunities; and WHEREAS, many of the services cities provide directly enhance those citizen priorities; and WHEREAS, the connection between city services and howthey benefit citizen priorities and concerns is not always understood by citizens; and WHEREAS, it is one of the responsibilities of city officials to ensure legislators, media and citizens understand their governments through open and frequent communication using various avenues and means; and WHEREAS, it is important to encourage citizens to actively participate in city government, to share their views, and to work in partnership with city officials to ensure that the needs of the commimity are met; and WHEREAS, partnerships developed between citizens and city officials can result in greater understanding of the connection between Minnesota’s high quality of life and the services provided by Minnesota cities, as well as in greater trust by citizens in the efforts of their city government.

Minnesota Cities: Building Quality Communities BACKGROUND In the past few years, members of the League of Minnesota Cities have become concerned about what some state legislators and other groups are saying about city government. More and more comments seem to describe cities as special interest groups, rather than as representatives of Minnesota citizens. Add to that a disconnection from government felt by a growing number of Americans, especially among young people, and League leaders decided to take action. Cities are the means to "community." We work in the interest of the families and businesses that live and work in our communities, and we are major contributors to quality of life in Minnesota. This is the message we must make clear to "key influencers" - legislators, the media, other influential groups - and directly to our citizens. Last year, the LMC Board of Directors worked with a public relations firm to obtain candid feedback from citizens and key influencers to determine what quality of life means to them and how their city government helps contribute to that quality of life. Through focus groups and one-on-one interviews, we heard from citizens and key influencers about their top priorities for a high quality of life. Top Priorities of Quality of Life • Safety • Family • Job opportunities • Good health care . Good schools • Recreational opportunities • Strong sense of community From these findings, we developed key messages and the foundation of the Building Quality Communities effort. Since many of these priorities reflect the services cities provide to Minnesota citizens, city officials can begin to connect the value of city services to the values of our citizens. The mission of Building Quality Communities 1. To enhance the perception of Minnesota city governments and city officials. 2. To reinvigorate and increase citizen involvement in city government. 3. To reinstill a sense of pride in public service, inspiring young people to seek careers in city government. The key to achieving this mission is a grassroots effort among all cities, focusing on clearly and consistently making the connection between the work of city governments and the high quality of life Minnesotans experience. We also will work to: • Seek effective ways to get citizens involved in building their community. • Continue improving our partnership with legislators and the media. • Strengthen our collaboration with other community groups. For more information and resources, visit the League's BQC Web site: wvm.lmnc.org/bqc/home.htm ■1 »fc- Minnesota Cities: Building Quality Communities BENEFITS By participating in the Building Quality Communities public education campaign, your city and all League members can benefit in a number of ways. Benefits to your city: . Greater understanding among your city's residents, businesses, community groups, legislators, reporters, and editors of how your city's efforts contribute to quality of life in your community. • Increased citizen participation in your city's activities and discussions, due to an enhanced perception of the role of Minnesota city governments and city officials. • Assistance from LMC in communicating this connection between what your city does and quality of life in your community - we plan for this assistance to come in many forms over the next two years, including: - a video you can show on your local cable access channel or at city events; - camera-ready and electronic versions of the Building Quality Communities logo (both black and white and color versions); - talking points for speaking to community groups and schools; - sample articles, press releases and advertisements; - facilitation of citizen focus groups; and - a catalog of itefns your city can purchase that incorporate the Building Quality Communities logo with your city's name. Benefits to all Minnesota cities: Working together, Minnesota cities can proactively define themselves in a positive light, rather than reacting to how legislators, the media, and other groups characterize us. This statewide, grassroots effort gives cities strength In numbere and one voice In challenging negative perceptions and conveying the message that city governments are essential to quality of life in Minnesota. If we are successful in associating city governments with positive goals and essential services, we believe we can gain greater legislative cooperation and strengthen our partnership in serving our common constituents. We also believe that increased participation in city government may result, as well as decreased cynicism among young people.

Growing numbers of people cite development issues of housing, transportation and mban sprawl as issues of regional importance, while concern about social issues, including crime, has declined in recent years. Nearly three-quarters of area residents say more compact development should be encouraged in their communities to protect open space, promote transit and save tax dollars. A quarter of residents said they ’re familiar with the term, “Smart Growth.” And, respondents showed overwhelming support for: • neighborhoods that are walkable and transit-friendly with good access to goods and services • housing that meets the needs of people of all ages and incomes • community design that integrates housing, office space and retail, and • work conunutes of 20 minutes or less. These are among the findings of the most recent Twin Cities Area Survey, the longest-running annual survey in the region. The University of Minnesota has conducted the survey since 1982. The Metropolitan Council has been a regular participant since the survey began. “Survey findings tell us, first and foremost, thr* Governor Ventura’s “Big Plan’’ is in tune and in touch with what people want-and it’s not ‘business as usual,”’ said Council Chair Ted Mondale. “Issues of transportation and congestion, the need for housing for our diverse workforce, sprawling development that’s costly and inefficient and demand for better neighborhood design are emerging as the issues of the day. What people want is choice. This survey confirms what we hear from communities, businesses and citizens all over the region--that our Smart Growth priorities are on track. “This Council, more than ever, is committed to providing alternatives in the form of improved transit ser.'ice, more transportation choices, including light rail, commuter rail and busways, more (more) \ 230 East FlAhSUeet SI.

But they increasingly recognize the growing threats to our mobility and economic prosperity.” Survey findings: Quality of life: • 98 percent of respondents said the Twin Cities is a better place to live than other metropolitan areas, consistent with survey findings since the early ’80s. Respondents cite employment opportunities, parks and recreation, air and water quality, arts and cultural activities and, most often, the natural environment as reasons for the high rating. More than half, 52 percent, expect their financial prospects to improve during the next year. • 96 percent of respondents from the four Minnesota collar counties, (Chisago, Isanti, Sherburne and Wright) polled for the first time as part of this survey, also gave the Twin Cities high marks for quality of life. Emerging Smart Growth issues: • Concerns about development-related issues, including transportation (primarily traffic), housing affordability and urban sprawl were cited by 34 percent of respondents as the number one problem facing the region, continuing an upward trend since 1995. 82 percent said traffic congestion has gotten worse in the past year, the same as last year when two- thirds of respondents suggested transit as the remedy, with 28 percent specifically citing light rail. 31 percent cited road or freeway improvements, 14 percent suggested promoting carpooling and only 7 percent suggested adding new roads. • An overwhelming majority of respondents indicated support for Smart Growth objectives of more efficient development patterns: 90 percent said they support housing that meets the needs of a wide range of ages and incomes; 85 percent said neighborhoods should be walkable and transit-oriented; 80 percent said neighborhoods should integrate housing, offices, retail and other land uses; and 82 percent said daily work commutes should be 20 minutes or less. Social issues: • Social concerns, including crime, welfare, homelessness, drugs, discrimination, poverty and family problems, was the top problem according to 39 percent of respondents, down significantly from the mid-’90s when social concerns, including crime, was named the top problem by 73 percent. The survey randomly sampled about 800 metro-area and 400 collar-county residents by telephone. Its results are accurate within plus or minus 3.5 percent. The Metropolitan Council is the regional planning agency for the seven-county metro area. The Council advocates Smart Growth development for vital communities and a competitive region. It runs the regional bus system, collects and treats wastewater and manages water resources preservation, plans regional parks and administers funds that provide housing opportunities for low- and moderate-income families. -30- i “How would you rate the Twin Cities as a place to live compared to other metropolitan areas in the nation-do you feel the Twin Cities Area is:” i: ;• • ^ I “In your opinion, what do you think is the single most important problem facing people in the Twin Cities Metropolitan Area today?” 80% 70% 60% 50% 40% 30% 20% 10% 0% 1986 88 98 Notes: Categories above are groupings of responses to open-ended questions.
