WHEREAS, James and Joann Jundt (hereinafter "the applicants") are the owners
of the property located at 1400 Bracketts Point Road within the City of Orono (hereinafter "the
City") and legally described as follows:
(Exhibit A attached); and
WHEREAS, the applicants have applied to the City for variances to Municipal

16 (C & L) to permit the restoration of an existing retaining wall, underground grotto and

Minnesota:
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of Orono,
FINDINGS
This application was reviewed as Zoning File #2159.
2. The property is located in the LR-lA Single Family Lakeshore Residential
Zoning District.
3. The Orono Planning Commission reviewed this application on September 16,
1996 and recommended approval of the proposed variances to restore the
lakeshore stairway system, retaining wall and underground grotto, based upon the
following findings:

RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL
NO. 5786
A. The property is unique for a number of reasons, including its age, its
history and the fact that applicants have been diligently restoring the
property to its former splendor.
B. The proposed work involves restoration of amenities or structures which
already exist, and does not propose any new buildings or amenities.
C. The 650' length of the eastern shoreline justifies the existence of as many
as four lakeshore stairways to provide access to the lake from the higher
portions of the property which are as much as 25' above lake level, and
the steep slopes east of the house suggest the need for stairway access.
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 variance 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 applicants, but is necessary to alleviate a
demonstrable hardship or difficulty; is necessary to preserve a substantial
property right of the applicants; and would be in keeping with the spirit and
intent of the Toning Code and Comprehensive Plan of the City.
CONCLUSIONS, ORDER AND CONDITIONS
Based upon the above findings, the Orono City Council hereby grants variances
to Municipal Zoning Code Sections 10.22, Subdivisions 1 and 2, 10.55, Subdivision 8, and
10.56, Subdivision 16 (C & L) to permit the restoration of the existing lakeshore stairway

system, retaining wall and underground grotto, subject to the following conditions:
The restoration work shall not exceed that contemplated or proposed in the
submitted plans. Hardcover in the 0-75' lakeshore setback zone shall not exceed
the pre-existing level of 0.7% as indicated on the site restoration plan attached
as Exhibit B. Applicant is advised that any future proposal to add hardcover in
the 0-75' lakeshore setback zone might be approved only in conjunction with the
concurrent removal of existing hardcover, resulting in no net increase in
hardcover in the 0-75' zone.
2. Structural restoration of the existing boathouse is specifically not a part of this
approval, and structural repairs to that building shall be reviewed by the
Inspections Department and if determined to require variances, shall be brought
forth to the Planning Commission and City Council as a separate application.
3. Authorities granted by this variance run with the property not with the
applicants, but arc permissive only and must be exercised by application for a
building permit within one year of the date of Council approval, or this variance
will expire on that date (October 28, 1997).
4. Violation of or non-compliance with any of the terms and conditions of this
variance shall constitute a violation of the zoning code, shall automatically
terminate anv authority granted herein, and shall be punishable as a
misdemeanor.
5. The undersigned applicants have read, understood and hereby agree to the terms
of this resolution and on behalf of themselves, their heirs, successors and
assigns, hereby agree to the recording of this resolution in the Chain of Title of
the property.
