The Affidavit of Publication and Certificate of Mailing were duly noted. Mr. Jeff Sisk was present for this matter. Zoning Administrator Mabusth explained that the lot line rearrangement was being proposed to allow the Sisk property a riparian lot classification. Mr. Sisk was advised by Staff that subdivisions, strictly for the purpose of riparian access, were unlikely, unless the property met the required lot width at the shoreline. Mr. Sisk filed the application based upon previous conditions of the property that would have implied previous riparian status. The DNR confirmed that dredging had occurred in the past, and that in 1964, a permit was issued to the owners of Lot 4 to fill 20'.

The Affidavit of Publication and Certificate of Mailing were duly noted. The applicant was present for this matter. Zoning Administrator Mabusth gave a brief description of Mr. Kempf's proposal for a Class II, Preliminary Subdivision. The construction of a residence has already begun on Lot 1, and access has been approved by Hennepin County. The status of the nonconforming structure on Lot 2 must be addressed in this subdivision review. The City Engineer has recononended that a 30* drainage easement be taken through the existing drainage way that comes in from the north and west. Mabusth further stated that the proposed access drive/curb cut at Loma Linda Avenue be moved 25* further west to improve sighting distance. There is also a portion of the travelled roadway that still is not within defined the right-of-way and the City Engineer is recommending that a 25* legged triangle be taken as additional right-ofjway. There were no comments from the public regarding this matter and the public hearing was closed. It was moved by Chairman Kelley, seconded by Planning Commissioner Cohen, to recommend approval of this application with the flowage and drainage easements as set forth by the City Engineer on Lots 1 and 2; the dedication of the right-of-way on Lot 2 at the south quadrant; the proposed access/curb cut a^ Loma Linda Avenue be moved 25* to the west to improve the sight line distance; and the existing cabin on Lot 2 shall be removed at the time a building permit is issued or September 1, 1989, vnichever may occur first.

The Affidavit of Publication and Certificate of Mailing were duly noted. The applicants were present for this matter, as was Mr. Bill Rottschaefer, the applicants' attorney. Zoning Administrator Mabusth explained that this application involved a 40' right-of-way currently owned by Hennepin County. It is common practice that whenever County roads are vacated, that the right-of-way reverts back to the local jurisdiction. Mr. Rottschaefer reported that the County had indicated that they no longer had any interest in the property. The County required a request from the City of Orono to have the right-of- way transferred to the City. There were no comments from the public regarding this matter and the public hearing was closed. It was moved by Planning Commissioner Bellows, seconded by Planning Commii^sioner Moos, to recommend approval of this application for a vacation of road right-of-way.

Zoning Administrator Mabusth reminded the Planning Commission that they had approved a separation setback variance by a 4 to 3 vote at their last meeting. The applicant heeded the minority advice and has revised his original proposal. Only a front street setback variance will be required. It was moved by Planning Commissioner Cohen, seconded by Planning Commissioner Bellows, to recommend approval of the front street setback variance for the purpose of constructing an addition.

The Affidavit of Publication and Certificate of Nailing were duly noted. The applicant was present for this matter (Planning Commissioner Brown was also present at this time). Assistant Planning and Zoning Administrator Gaffron informed the Planning Commission that the Berry's were bringing forth a revised proposal resulting from the January 17, 1989 Planning Commission Meeting. The house will now be located behind the 0- 75* setback line but will still require an average lakeshore setback variance. In the 75-250' zone, hardcover will be increased from 26.5% to 31.9%. Hardcover in the 0-75' zone on the south side of the property will remain at 25.1%; on the north side, 0-75* zone, hardcover will be reduced to zero. Chairzian Kelley questioned the Berrys' proposal for a three- car garage. Mr. Berry clarified that he would be agreeable to add an attached three-car garage and remove the detached garage. Gaffron observed that such a proposal would offer a fairly even trade in hardcover. Kelley expressed his preference for this proposal. Planning Commissioner Cohen concurred, as did Hanson and Moos. Kelley recommended that approval of this application be conditioned upon the removal of the detached garage and straightening the driveway. The Berrys would then be able to build a three-car attached garage. Gaffron explained that only minor grading would be necessary with the revised proposal. This would be accomplished by raising the east end of the house approximately 2'. Grading in the 0-75' zone will be necessary to bring the old basement excavation back to a conforming grade. There were no comments from the public regarding this matter and the public hearing was closed. It was moved by Chairman Kelley, seconded by Planning Commissioner Hanson, to recommend approval of the hardcover variance as proposed: 0-75 (southslde) 25.1%; 0-75 (northsidrj 0%; and 75-250 31.9%. The existing garage will be removed and a third stall added to the attached garage. The driveway is to be straightened. It was further recommended that a variance and conditional use permit allowing filling and grading within 75* of Lake Minnetonka be approved for the driveway reconfiguration and grade restoration at the old basement, along with a 2' average lakeshore setback variance. The hardship in this application is that the applicant met the spirit of the revisions requested by the Planning Commission and has reduced the hardcover within the 0-75' zone and the average lakeshore setback. Bellows questioned the elevation of the existing basement? Mr. Berry replied that it was approximately 18".

The applicant was present for this matter. Zoning Administrator Mabusth informed the Planning Commission that Mr. Kickhafer was requesting a front street setback variance in order to construct an attached garage. Due to accessory improvements previously made to the rear of the property# placement of the garage to the rear of the house becomes impractical. There were no comments from the public regarding this matter and the public hearing was closed. It was moved by Chairman Kelley# seconded by Planning Commissioner Hanson# to recommend approval of this application, granting the 30' front yard setback variance for the purpose of constructing a single story garage 24'x 24'. Mr. Klckhafer's hardship is that he has no garage and the house was built prior to the 5-acre zoning amendment. Bellows added that the topography of the land was also a hardship.

It was moved by Planning Commissioner Brown, seconded by Planning Commissioner Cohen, to recommend approval of application #1371, both front and side yard setback variances.

The Affidavit of Publication and Certificate of Mailing were duly noted. The applicant was present for this matter. Zoning Administrator Mabusth informed the Planning Commission that Mr. Elss was seeking a conditional use permit and variance for land alterations in the 0-75' setback area. Mr. Biss's new residence is located within a pre-existing retention area which serves the 1.44 acre watershed. Mr. Bozonie, a neighbor to the south of Mr. Biss, communicated to the City his understanding of the drainage pattern for the area. Public Works Director Gerhardson has recommended the use of the drainage swale or underground tile because a private drainage system to the south would have a significant impact upon the Trainor property. Gerhardson has confirmed that the existing drainage ditch within the Trainor property is not a public drainage way. Chairman Kelley questioned the number of trees that would need to be removed if a 40' wide swale were Installed. Mabusth estimated that many trees would need to be removed. She was unable to specify the exact number. She further added that the City was not in favor of this option, but would prefer the underground drainage tile based on the degree of Impact within the lakeshore protected area. Chairman Kelley expressed his preference for option 3 and suggested tabling this item until fur.her information could be reviewed. Because of the urgency in resolving the runoff problem before the Spring thaw, it was suggested that this matter be brought directly from the March 20 Planning Commission Meeting to the March 27 Council Meeting. There were no comments from the public regarding this matter and the public hearing was closed. It was moved by Chairman Kelley, seconded by Planning Commissioner Moos, to table this item until more hydraulic information could be gathered by the applicant and Mr. Zuckman. Mabusth indicated to Mr. Biss that she would provide him with the criteria needed by the City before the March 20th Planning Commission Meeting.

Th« Affidavit of Publication and Certificate of Mailing were duly noted. The applicant was present for this matter. Mr. Price was requesting an average setback variance and hardcover variance for the purpose of constructing an addition. Assistant Planning and Zoning Administrator stated that the addition would be behind an existing garage and partially over an existing patio. Hardcover in the 75-250' would increase from 27.6% to 30.0%. Chairman Kelley conimented that the neighboring property to the west would not be visually impacted by the proposed addition. The property to the east would be somewhat Impacted. Gaffron mentioned that the addition would interfere with their view of the neck of the lagoon. Mr. Price explained his hardship to be the need for more living space due to a growing family. Further# the existing kitchen area is located on the lower level of the house. Planning Commissioner Brown observed that a portion of the house already extended 18' beyond the average lakeshore setback line. The proposed addition would only extend 12' beyond the line. Kelley stated that the intent of the code regarding average lakeshore setbacks is to protect the views of the lake enjoyed by neighboring property owners. Gaffron confirmed that the City had not received any communications from Mr. Price's neighbor to the east. Mr. Price stated that he had not discussed his proposal with that neighbor. Planning Commissioner Brown questioned the possibility of hardcover removal to compensate for the hardcover being added in the 75-250' zone. He suggested removal of the patio. Planning Commissioner Bellows expressed the tlifficulty involved with this application because the structure already extends beyond the average lakeshore setback and has 27. hardcover in the 75-250' zone. She believed that should approval be recommended# the reasons for doing so be very explicit. Planning Commissioner Hanson noted for the record chat even though Mr. Price's home was lakeshore property# the addition would not pose a negative visual effect# which is the foundation of purpose of the average lakeshore setback requirement. It was moved by Planning Commissioner Hanson# seconded by Planning Commissioner Brown# to recommend approval of application #1375# for an average lakeshore setback variance to construct an addition to the existing residence.

The Affidavit of Publication and Certificate of Mailing were duly noted. The applicants were present for this matter. Assistant Planning and Zoning Administrator Gaffron explained that this application involved a request for side setback and hardcover variances for an addition to applicant's residence. The applicants are proposing a 9.1' side setback, where 10' is required and an Increase in hardcover in the 75-250' zone from 24.5% to 29.5%. The Andersons' property does not abut the lakeshore, but is located within the 75-250' setback zone. Further, the applicant has obtained a building permit to convert the existing garage into a workshop. Gaffron suggested the future possibility of a garage being built to the rear of the house, which would cause another hardcover Increase in the 75- 250' zone. However, the applicants have no such plans at this time. Chairman Kelley expressed concern over the inevitability of a garage being constructed behind the house. Mr. Anderson stated that there may be a possibility of trading land with Hennepin County. This would provide him with more land northwest of his house in exchange for front yard land he would give to the County. Planning Commissioner Brown questioned whether there would be any hardcover that could be removed to offset the additional hardcover being requested? Gaffron responded that the driveway would be the only removable hardcover but from a safety standpoint, it should remain intact. Chairman Kelley stated that it would be difficult to 8 NimiTBS OF THB PIAMMIllG O SSIOM TIHG FEBRUARY 21, 1989 SQBIHG FILE «1277-R1CHARD AMDERSmi COETIEDED recommend approval of such an intensification of use for this limited parcel. Mr. Anderson said that he would be willing to remove an existing shed in the 75-250* setback area and relocate it elsewhere. Planning Commissioner Cohen suggested putting the workshop into the addition and leaving the garage as is. Mr. Anderson said that he would be agreeable to that. Kelley asked that the shed be moved over the 250* line. There were no comments from the public regarding this matter and the public hearing was closed. It moved by Planning Commissioner Cohen, seconded by Planning Commissioner Hanson, to recommend approval of the variances reguested in application #1377, subject to the existing shed located within the 75-250* zone being moved behind that line, allowing an increase in hardcover in that area to 28%; and to allow the 0.9* west side setback variance and 0.4* east side setback variance.

The applicant was present for this matter, as was the property owner, Mr. Kamil Ugurbil. Zoning Administrator Mabusth explained that the applicant was seeking a side setback variance for an addition to the southwest corner of the existing residence. The present location of the house does not meet the 50* side yard setback. The applicant claims that the floor plan of the existing residence is such that the southwest corner would be appropriate for the addition. Chairman Kelley expressed his concern about the addition in proximity to the house to the west. He stated that the house was currently 47*8** from the side lot line, the proposed addition would reduce that to 35*7** where 50* was required. Planning Commissioner Brown questioned Mabusth*s expressed concerns pertaining to the floor plan of the house. Planning Commissioner Brown believed that the floor plan was not an adequate hardship and that there were other alternatives. Mr. Ostrom stated that other options were explored and found the current proposal to be most practical. Planning Commissioner Bellows stated that due to the floor plan being used as a hardship, that the existing floor plan should have been included in the information she received; it was her inclination to table this matter. KIHUTBS OF THB PLMnilHG COMNISSIOH MBBTIH6 FBBRUART 21, 19S9 n:-iis(»mi6 FiLB ii378'-osTs«t crarriiv With respect to Kelley's concerns about the closeness of the neighboring residence, Mr. Ugurbil explained that there was dense vegetation that would screen the addition from view. Mr. Ugurbil further added that placing the addition in another location would either interfere with an existing porch or with the natural "Minnesota farm-cho..:icter" architecture which was a Slain reason he purchased the house. The Planning Coamiission, as a whole, concurred with Kelley's views that the addition would encroach too closely to the adjacent property to the west. Planning Commissioner Brown reiterated his belief that there were other alternatives. There were no comments from the public regarding this matter and the public hearing was closed (Planning Commissioner Bellows departed at this time). It was moved by Chairman Kelley, seconded by Planning Commissioner Cohen, to deny the variance for the sideyard setback for #1378, Curtis Ostrom.

The applicant was present for this matter. Zoning Administrator Mabusth stated that this application involved a setback for new construction within the 0-75' setback area, as well as a hardcover variance for new construction. Even though there is a reduction in hardcover in the 0-75' zone, variance approval for new construction is required. The proposed structure will be 61' from the lakeshore. The second story, 2-foot wide, deck, will be 59' from the lakeshore. The overall reduction of hardcover in the 0-75' area will be 3%. Chairman Kelley questioned whether the entire existing structure would be removed. Mabusth replied that yes it would MIKUTBS OF THB PLMmiFG COMMISSION lO^ING PlBftlART 21, 19S9 SOHIMG FIU8 #1381-HWM)B COMTINUKD be, with the exception of the foundation. She re .o.nnended that this application be reviewed with similar considerations as the Johnson application off North Arm Drive, in that approval be conditioned upon the existing foundation being used. The general concensus of the Planning Commission was that they were in favor of the proposed house not extending as close to the lakeshore as the existing house. They were also in favor of the reduction in hardcover in the 0-75' setback area from 15.8% to 13.3%. The new structure would be right on the average lakeshore setback line, and will have an attached garage. The detached garage will be removed. It was moved by Planning Commissioner Hanson, seconded by Planning Commissioner Cohen, to recommend approval of this application granting the lakeshore setback variance required for new construction on the existing foundation. The setback shall be allowed at 59' to accomodate the 2' upper story deck extending into the lakeshore protected area; the main part of the house shall be at 61'. In addition, approval is recommended for the hardcover variance of 13.3%, or 812 s.f., within the 0-75' setback area, with no additional hardcover allowed in that area.

Assistant Planning and Zoning Administrator Gaffron Informed the Planning Commission that there had been a revision to this proposal. There will be rw Increase in hardcover in the 0-75' zone due to the removal of an existing storage shed. Mr. Lumry also explained that there would not be 'ny additional terrace area as originally proposed. Chairman Kelley clarified that this application now involved only the conversion of hardcover to structural hardcover and an average lakeshore setback variance. Gaffron agreed. Planning Commissioner Brown asked for clarification as to the average lakeshore setback. Gaffron explained that the house to the south, approximately 200' away would not be affected, to the north, there wer^^ only camp buildings. Mr. Lumry mentioned the fact that the existing guest house and main residence were in front of the addition. There is an existing brick retaining wall which would minimize the visual impact of the addition from the lake.

Mr. Lumry also noted that at some time the Rogers may wish to rebuild and slightly relocate the existing stairway leading to the lake. It was moved 'by Planning Commissioner Brown, seconded by Planning Commissioner Hanson, to recommend approval of the average lakeshore setback variance and hardcover variance in the 0-75* zone. Moos suggested removal of the storage shed so that there will be no net increase in hardcover. Brown incorporated that condition into his motion, Hanson seconded. Gaffron mentioned the fact that the City Engineer was requesting a drainage plan. Mr. Lumry said that it was the Rogers' intention to have that information. Brown also included that condition in his motion; Hanson seconded.
