Mary Petersen was present for this matter, as was Mark
Gronberg, her surveyor.
Building and Zoning Administrator Mabusth clarified that
there Is an additional property owner joining in the plat who
will continue to achieve access off of Turnham Road. The four
new lots will achieve access from an extended cul-de-sac road
that abuts Lot 3. The City has asked for an outlet to connect
to Chippewa Lane and to Turnham Road. Also proposed is the
definition of an additional outlet for the purpose of accessing
the Luce Line. The DNR is asking the City to refrain from
intensifying vehicular crossing of the Luce Line.
Chairman Kelley suggested that an easement be taken that
would allow for pedestrian traffic to access the Luce Line. Such
an easement would allow the northern property owners to access
the Luce Line without the need to use McCulley Road.
Ms. Petersen said that she did not understand why such an
easement would be necessary when McCulley Road was so close.
Kelley explained that the walking path would allow children a way
to the Luce Line without contending with major traffic.
Ms. Desyl Peterson, 4385 Chippewa Lane, said that she was
pleased to see that Outlot C had been removed. Ms. Peterson
noted that another neighbor has been circulating a petition in
opposition to the through road. This neighbor was unable to
attend this meeting, but Ms. Peterson said that the petition
would be submitted prior to review by the City Council. Ms.
Peterson asked why Outlot B was being dedicated at this time when
Outlot h adequately provides access to the other lots. She
suggested that should the other lots subdivide in che future,
that outlot could be designated at that time when it would be
needed.
Mr. Jerome O'Brien, 380 Turnham Road, expressed concern
regarding the future through street that Outlot A would provide.
There were no further comments from the public regarding
this matter and the public hearing was closed.

It was moved by Chairman Kelley, seconded by Planning
Coasnissioner Johnson, to recommend approval of this application
subject to conditions 1 through 5, with the exception of
condition 2 which he recommended include outlot C at a width
determined by City staff to be used as a walking access to the
Luce Line. Johnson asked about designating construction time of
the pathway. Mabusth suggested that such information be provided
by Public Works Director Gerhardson and the Park Commission. It
was further suggested that the Park Commission be asked to render
a decision as to whether or not the City of Orono would be
interested in taking the Outlot. Mary Petersen indicated that
she had no interest in developing the walkway as a part of the
subdivision. M.tion, Ayes«4, Nay»0, Cohen abstained.
Ms. Desyl Peterson noted that there is a roadway that
crosses partially on her property that is currently being used as
an informal access to the Luce Line. She further noted that the
area being proposed for the walkway had a steep slope that would
make access difficult.

Mr. Eccles was present for this continuation of a public
hearing.
Assistant Planning and Zoning Administrator Gaffron
explained that the applicant had revised his proposal and was now
asking for a 26* x 26* garage with a 15.2' side setback where 30*
is required. The location of the septic system, well and
driveway limits alternative sites for the garage.
There were no comments from the public regarding this matter
and the public hearing was closed.
It was moved by Planning Commissioner Cohen, seconded by
Planning Commissioner Moos, to recommend approval of application
#1416, based on the findings that there is very little Impact on
the neighborhood, no additional runoff, no expressed objections
by the neighbors. Approval would be conditioned upon the
proposed garage being located in the same location as the
existing garage. Motion, Ayes"5, Mays>0, Motion passed.

Mr. David Fisher, Mr. Marlow Peterson, Mr. Roger Hargreaves
and Mr. Gary Roskos.
Mr. Fisher explained that Northern States Power Co. was

requesting a conditional use pernit to construct, operate and
maintain an electrical substation. The facility is referred to
a& a 69-13.8 KV substation which means that its source will be a
69 KV line with a resulting distribution voltage of 13.8 KV. The
source line is the existing line which runs through the parcel
from Highway 12 and the Huntington Farm Development. The 69 KV
source line will enter the substation and be transformed into two
13.8 KV feeder lines. One feeder line will exit the substation
on the existing line and run in the direction of Highway 12, the
other feeder line will connect to the existing pole line which
runs along County Road 6. The substation will not require any
additional pole lines in the general area of the substation. The
location of the substation has been revi sed...(see Mr. Fisher's
memo 62989#l.djf}.
Chairman Kelley inquired as to the else of the trees NSP
intended to plant. Mr. Fisher said they would be approximately
2* in diameter.
Hr. Phil Roe, Hunt Farm Roud, asked about alternate sites
that were considered and what factors those sites had that made
them undeslreable? Mr. Fisher said that sites along the Luce
Line had been considered but were undeslreable because of the
close proximity the substation would have to the Luce Line. He
said that the proposed location is in the "heart" of the area in
which they need to provide power.
Mr. Kim Mitchell, said that he was building a home near the
site for the proposed substation and questioned whether the
substation would interfere with his 2nd story view.
Chairman Kelley inquired as to the type of trees that NSP
intended to plant as screening for the substation. Mr. Roskos
replied that they intended to plant White Pines, Ash Trees and a
variety of deciduous trees.
Mr. James McKinnon, a member of the audience, asked for a
omparison regarding the expected decibles at specific footages.
Mr. Fisher said that at 10:00 a.m. the substation would not
be audible above the sound of noise generated from Highway 12 and
County Road 6. Mr. Roskos added that the sound from the
substation was a low, constant drone, similar to the sound of an
air conditioner condenser.
Building and Zoning Administrator Mabusth reported that she
had an opportunity to visit a substation and the sound most
noticeable was that of the cooling fan.
Chairman Kelley asked Mr. Mitchell if he had visited a
similar, existing substation in order to better understand the
noise level. Mr. Mitchell replied that he had visited the
station located at Highway 101 ^nd the Luce Line. Kelley asked
NSP in that substation was comparable to the proposed substation?

sonac piu •I4i7-asp coTiag go
Mr. Roskos replied that the Highway 101 substation was ituch
larger and located more closely to the residential area. Kelley
suggested that Mr. Mitchell have NSP accompany him to an existing
substation location to help him better understand what is being
proposed.
Mr. Bill Praser« 630 Hunt Farm Road, recalled that at the
June 19, 1989 Planning Commission Meeting, NSP was asked to
provide data regarding the effect the substation would have on
property valu4^s. Mr. Fraser said that he had spoken with
residents living near the Highway 101 substation and they had
indicated they would choose not to live in the vicinity of such a
facility. Mr. Fraser also said that the location for the
proposed substation was an area rich with wildlife. He said that
there are Trumpeter Swans that nest in the area every couple of
years.
Chairman Kelley asked Mr. Fisher whether he had information
pertaining to property values once a substation is constructed.
Mr. Fisher pointed out the fact that there are homes of
comparable value along the 494 freeway built almost directly
beneath a 345,000 volt line. A subdivision in Bloomington, River
Bluffs Estates, has a 115,000 volt line running through it as
well as a substation located in the area.
Mr. Roe indicated that he would like to have HSP provide a
third-party opinion as to the effect of the substation on his
property value. Chairman Kelley asked Mr. Roe whether he would
be willing to pay to have this done? Mr. Roe asked whether MSP
and the City would accept the findings of such a study if he
agreed to fund it.
Mr. Dick Haesel, 870 Hunt Farm Road, pointed out the fact
that at the time he subdivided this parcel of landi^he City took
Biany measures to insure that the enviroment woul(^be protected.
Hr. Hassel said that it was disappointing that a representative
from NSP had not approached the neighbors in the area to inform
them of the proposal.
Chairman Kelley concurred with Mr. Hassel and asked MSP how
Involved they became with a particular community prior to
construction of a facility?
Nr. Hargraeves offered to provide the Planning Commission
and public with information pertaining to the process in which
this particular location was derived.
Chairman Kelley said that there was no need to provide that
information at this point. The issue at hand pertained to NSP
meeting directly with the affected neighbors so that they would
feel comfortable with this proposal. Mr. Hargraeves asked if it
was not the purpose of this public hearing to do just that?
Kelley said that there should have been a meeting several months
llKiTBS OP fBB PlAimillG COMMSSIOa 1R6 JOLT 17, 1989
lOnK PILB f 1417>M8P COHTIODBD
ago with the neighbors to allow thea to express their concerns
and better understand NSP's proposal. Mr. Hargraeves indicated
that it was not a policy of NSP to aeet with each individual
neighborhood prior to constructing a facility in their area.
Planning CoBMissioner Cohen concurred with Chairwan Kelley.
Be informed Mr. Hargraeves that in this case, it may not be a
natter of what MSP's policies are, but rather what policies that
the City of Orono has that NSP may need to follow. He said that
all of these issues should have been discussed with the
neighborhood prior to the Planning Commission public hearing,
ratner than carrying on in great length with these issues during
the meeting.
Mr. Hassel volunteered the use of his home for the joint
meeting.
Mr. Fisher said that he had contacted an individual resident
of this neighborhood and talked at length abouc this project. He
reiterated Mr. Hargraeves statement regarding NSP's policies.
Chairman Kelley asked Mr. Fisher if MSP would be willing to
meet with the neighbors? Mr. Fisher replied that such an
arrangement would be fine, however there were questions that
would most likely be asked that would be impossible to prove.
Mr. Fisher also noted that the revisions to the proposal tnat
were made subsequent to the June 19, 1989 Planning Commission
Meeting were a direct result of input from the neighbors
attending that meeting.
Chairman Kelley asked Mr. Fisher when they hoped to begin
construction on this substation? Mr. Hargraeves answered that
NSP hoped to have the substation operating by J le, 1990, because
the need for the service was that strong. Kell ’ asked how long
it would take to construct the substation. Mr. -toskos replied
that it would take approximately 3 months. Kelley asked if
waiting one month, in order to allow for a neighborhood meeting,
would interfere with the construction schedule?
Planning Commissioner Johnson opined that he would like to
see this matter moved on to the City Council and require NSP to
meet with the neighbors in the mean time.
Mr. James MacKinnon indicated that the impetus for NSP to
respond would be better if the Planning Commission delayed their
recommendation until the neighborhood meeting occurred. He said
that the substation would have a lasting impact on the
neighbor.'.ood and that such a delay would not interfere with MSP's
construction schedule.»
Mr. Tom Koepsel concurred with Mr. MacKinnon.
Mr. Fisher asked whether it would be necessary to have a
representative from the City and/or the Planning Commission in

attendance at the neighborhood meeting?
Chairman Kelley and Building and Zoning Administrator
Mabusth agreed that a City representative and Planning Commission
representative should attend the joint meeting. Planning
Commissioner Brown volunteered to represent the Planning
Commission.
There were no further comments from the public regarding
this matter and the public hearing was closed.
Planning Commissioner Brown asked about distribution of the
staff memo to the concerned neighbors. Mabusth replied that the
memo was available to anyone that rquested to have a copy. Brown
asked NSP whether they could provide a model of the proposed
substation? Mr. Roskos said that only a drawing world be
available.
It was moved by Planning Commissioner Johnson, seconded by
Planning Cosunissioner Cohen, to recommend approval of this
application, subject to MSP meeting with the neighbors prior to
the proceeding to the City Council meeting. Motion, Ayes«4,
Brown, Nay due to his belief that Planning Commission approval
should be given subsequent to the NSP/neighbor meeting taking
place.
Building and Zoning Administrator asked that a member of the
Hunt Farm community visit an existing substation to listen to the
sound.

The Affidavit of Publication and Certificate of Mailing were
duly noted.
Building and Fire Inspector Jacobs explained that the
applicant intended to relocate the 4500 s.f. structure to the
south side of the lot. Jacobs reminded the Planning Commission
that the applicant had made a previous application (#1263)
similar to the one presently being proposed, that was approved in
1988. Jacobs said that the applicant would require a 5* variance
to relocate the structure. However, the proposed relocation
would eliminate the need for the 5* variance granted in
application 11263.
Planning Commissioner Brown questioned the reason that Mr.
Rivers wished to relocate the structure? Jacobs said that the
State Building Code requires that fire resistive walls be
provided without any openings should the building remain close to
the lot line. Kelley questioned why Mr. Rivers would not be
required to meet such standards if the structure were only 5'
from the south lot line? Jacobs indicated that Mr. Rivers would
HiaUTBS OP THE PLUOIIHG COMMISSIOH MBBTISG JULY 17« 1989
lOaiK PUB •1424-WIBDMARD NARIHB CCMTIHIIBD
have to provide protected openings on the south side of the
structure. Kr. Rivers said that he had no objections to that and
added that the reason for sioving the structure was to elininate
the cluttered appearance created by having the structure located
near the adjacent residence.
Jacobs noted that applicant was reducing the amount of
hardcover from what he proposed in application #1263. Nr. Rivers
intends to remove a boat ramp in order to reduce hardcover.
Kelley inquired as to how Mr. Rivers would remove boats from the
water. Mr. Rivers replied that he would use a crane.
Jacobs further noted that there is pending litigation
involving Mr. Rivers and Hennepin County regarding the number of
feet required for County right-of-way. Should the Court find in
favor of Mr. Riversr he has agreed to restore the area in
question to green area. There were no further comments from the
public regarding this matter and the public hearing was closed.
The commercial site plan review will basically remain the
same as was proposed with application 11263. The City Engineer
has reviewed the plans and confirmed that the drainage and runoff
would remain the same with this proposal.
Chairman Kelley asked about lighting. Mr. Rivers replied
that he will use the same lighting being used on the Tanager Lake
side of Windward Marine. These lights will provide adequate
illumination, but will not have any negative impact on the area
residences.
Chairman Kelley asked whether the average lakeshore setback
would remain the same? Jacobs said that the only change in the
average lakeshore setback would be the exchange of parking area
fcr structure.
Chairman Kelley observed that the applicant intended to
change the access and questioned whether County approval would be
necessary. Jacobs said that County approval would be necessary
and would have to be obtained prior to the Council Meeting.
Beth Whittaker, a representative for Minnetonka Boat Works,
asked how many parking stalls would be lost if the City did not
allow the 5' variance? Jacobs said that Mr. Rivers would lose
an entire row of parking if the building had to be located 5'
back. Ms. Whittaker indicated that Minnetonka Boat Works was not
in favor of granting the 5* variance.
There were no further comments from the public regarding
this matter and the public hearing was closed.
It was moved by Planning Commissioner Brown, seconded by
Planning Commissioner Moos, to recommend approval of application

Mr. James MacKinnon, the Attorney for Mr. and Mrs. Ferrell,
were present of their behalf.
The Affidavit of Publication and Certificate of Mailing were
duly noted.
Assistant Planning and Zoning Administrator Gaffron provided
a brief history of this application. As a condition of their
approval, the City Council agreed to allow a waiver of the 6
month time period normally required to re-apply for a variance.
The applicants are now requesting a lot combination that would
create a 1.89 acre new building site and leaves the existing
building site with 1.01 acres. The 1.89 acre parcel has four
septic dralnfield sites and development of this lot, in staff's
opinion should not be a problem. There is concern about the 1.01
acre lot which has only one alternate dralnfield site. The
City's policy in the past for commonly owned parcels in an
unsewered xone has been that Council approval is required to
subdivide the parcel.
Mr. MacKinnon a? provided a history of the property. He
said that the Ferrells were assessed and paid taxes from 1958 to
1986 based on the assumption that both lots were buildable sites.
He said that this issue had become very emotional for the
Ferrells.
There were no comments from the public regarding this matter
and the public hearing was closed.

Mr. and Mrs. Burgess were present for this matter, as well
as Mr. Larry Berg, their attorney.
The Affidavit of Publication and Certificate of Mailing were
8
MINUTES OF THE PLAMMIHG COMMISSION JOIT 17, 1989
SOHIBG PILE #1428>BQ»«BSS CC»TIima>
duly noted.
Assistant Planning and Zoning Administrator Gaffron
explained that the applicants intend to remove the existing
residence and replace it with a new home. The key issue involved
with the application is that grading in the lakeshore area will
be necessary to create a walk-out.
Mr. Burgess had several sketches depicting the existing
and proposed house, as well as a model of the proposed house.
Mr. Burgess said that 35* of shoreline washed away in the 1987
"super-storm". He said that the City Engineer and Mr. Gaffron
had visited the site to determine the various ways in which the
bank could be restored. The City Engineer had recommended to Mr.
Burgess that retaining walls not be used if at all possible. An
alternative would be to put a geotechnical fabric every two feet
and rebuild the bank up to a determined slope. Mr. Burgess said
that he planned to rip rap the shoreline approximately 3' above
the high water mark. Mr. Burgess noted that the existing house
encroaches the 75' setback line by 35*. The proposed house would
be located behind the 75' setback. The new house would also be
designed to conform in height with the neighboring residences.
Mr. Berg said that the applicants proposal was an ecological
improvement due to the elimination of hardcover in the 0-75'
setback zone. There would be no interference with the natural
direction of runoff and the rate of runoff will lessened.
Chairman Kelley asked about the particular hardships
involved with this application? Mr. Berg replied that carving
out the area for the walkout was part of preserving the lakeshore
area from further erosion. He said that the Burgesses were
addressing water quality concerns. Mr. Berg also noted that this
proposal had no adverse effect on the neighboring property, but
rather the opposite.
Mr. John Rodgers, a neighbor on the north side of Mr. and
Mrs. Burgess, said that the portion of the Burgess's shoreline
that caved in altered the water quality of his lakeshore. In his
opinion, .? steep slope would be detrimental as it would allow
such erosion to occur again. Mr. Rogers was also in favor of the
reduced elevation of the applicants* new home. He said that the
new home would be an asset to the community.
Mr. Burgess said that the neighbor to the south, Mr. Thomas
Lowe, had Indicated that he had no opinion, for or against this
proposal.
Chairman Kelley said that the excavation of the lakeshore
area was the primary issue. Planning Coramlasioner Cohen
concurred.
Mr. Burgess asked why the excavation was such a difficult
issue?
MIHUTBS or ns riAimiHG COMMISSIOII MBBTine JOLY 17, 1989
[II HI80MIM6 PILB «1428>B01IGBSS COVTII
Cohen said that such an issue was difficult because of the
City's policy to discourage excavation for walkouts. Approval of
this application would be precedent setting.
Planning Commissioner Brown said he did not see an adequate
hardship to justify approval of the variance. He felt that the
bank could be restored without the need to excavate for the
walkout feature of the proposed home.
Planning Commissioner Johnson said that he appreciated the
restoration of the bank and the house being set back behind the
75' setback line. However, he disapproved of excavation within
the 0-75' zone. He also felt that given the size of the lot,
hardcover within the 75-250' setback area could be maintained at
25%.
Planning Commissioner Moos also felt that the proposed
excavation was excessive and could find no hardship for doing so.
Mr. Burgess said that City staff had indicated that
conformance was important. He said that he did not understand
how the Planning Commission could deny excavation within the
lakeshore area without providing an adequate explanation as to
why. In his opinion his proposal addressed th-j ecological
concerns of the City. He believed his proposal was a substantial
improvement from what currently existed.
Mr. Berg said that there was no legal basis for rejecting a
hardship on the grounds that there was an alternative to a
particular proposal.
There were no further comments from the public regarding
this matter and the public hearing was closed.
It was moved by Planning Commissioner Cohen, seconded by
Planning Commissioner Moos, to recommend denial of this
aoplication due to the proposal inte»'fering in the 0-75' setback
zone and no adequate hardship demonstrated to do so. Motion,
Ayes«5, Nays*0, Motion passed.

SUBDIVISION
Mr. Alan Carlson was present for this sketch plan review, as
was Mr. Gary Peterson, his Developer.
Building and Zoning Administrator Mabusth explained that
there was 41.6 acres of land that Mr. Carlson wished to
subdivide.
Mr. Carlson said t....t he purchased Dr. Panuska’s property
r
MIHUTBS OF THE PIAHMllG COMMlSSlCW HSeTlVG JOLT 17, 1989
with the intention to tastefully subdivide it. He said he
only planned on the development of 14 lots, which would average 3
acres of h..gh ground pe~ lot. He noted that there were everal
mature trees growing in the area designated as wetland. He said
that Dr. Panuska had dug several ditches to drain the area. Mr.
Carlson asked for direction from the Planning Commission as to
the best way to develop the northern lots.
Chairman Kelley offered a suggestion to convert that area
into a commons area to serve the residents of the subdivision.
He said that a PUD could be done.
Mabusth replied that staff would prefer that the applicant
not use a PUD/PRD. She said that it was difficult to do a PRD
with residence pads less than 2 acres in area. She said that
such a pad size will not provide adequate area for all of the
improvements (swimming pools, tennis courts, etc.) associated
with the residence normally built on such lots. It is necessary
to maintain legal setbacks from alternate drainfield sites and
well locations. Kelley asked whether it would be possible to
restrict pools and tennis courts in the covenants? Mabusth
replied that such restrictions would be beneficial to the City,
but questioned how it would affect the saleability of the lots
and that applicant should comment.
Chairman Kelley expressed concern about having a house
located behind the wetlands. He believed that providing access
to that lot would disturb any existing drain tile which would
alter the wetlands. Mr. Carlson said that he could probably use
various resources to locate the drain tile.
Building and Zoning Administrator Mabusth presented several
options for accessing the northern lots. She informed Mr.
Carlson that it would be necessary for the O.S. Army Corp. of
Engineers to review any proposed encroachment into wetlands.
Planning Commissioner Johnson asked Mr. Carlson what he
intended to dc with the existing structures? Mr. Carlson said
that it would be a shame to tear down the existing house. He
said he would like to sell it to someone who would fix it up.
Planning Commissioner Johnson said that he would like to see
only 2 lots developed in the northern area of the property. Mr.
Carlson said that there would be a need for an access nc matter
how many lots were developed.
The Planning Commissio.. indicated that they had no
objections to access b^.»rig achieved through the wetlands.
Chairman Keliey noted that the applicant would only need a
variance for encroachment into the wetland area in order to
develop this property. Mabusth added that a conditional use
permit would also be required. Mabusth reminded the Planning
Commission that with this subdivision, Orono would be gaining an
east/west access road that would serve as a future through road.
