The Affidavit of Publication and Certificate! of Mailing
was noted.
Mary Ann McGowan was present for this matter.
Assistant Zoning Administrator Gaffron explained the
request to subdivide a 5.2 acre lot (Lot 1, Block 1,
Liberty Acres) into 2 lots of 3.19 acres and 2.01 acres.
He noted that applicant has submitted the additional
drainfield information and the septic testing for both
lots. The applicant proposes a 15' drainageway, however
staff feels it should be 20' because of the slope of the
banks, recommending the City Engineer review this and
give a final recommendation He noted that Lot A as
proposed requires a varian. o lot width at the 50*
setback line (approximately xu8' width proposed, 200*
required, noting that the width of the lot exceeds 200*
at the existing house location ); and both Lots A and B
require a variance for frontage only on a private road.
Bellows noted that on the survey a portion of the
existing driveway to the existing house on Lot A was on
Lot B which she recommended be corrected to be entirely
on Lot A.
Planning Commission concurred with Bellows*
recommendation.
Assistant Zoning Administrator Gaffron reviewed staff*s
recommended conditions of approval.
No one was present from the public regarding this matter
and the public hearing was closed.

CONTIHUATIOH OP POBLIC HEARING
Con-.'ultant Planner John Shardlow was present for this
matter.
City Administrator Bernhardson explained that the
Comprehensive Plan document presented is the culmination
of the Highway 12 Corridor Study which started in
September 1985. The document implements the changes to
the comprehensive plan and will be presented to the
Metropolitan Council with the appropriate application in
order that the City may have the appropriate MUSA line
extension approved by the Metro Council together with
various other reviews by Met Council of significant
impacts on the regional systems. This planning document
will also be used as development takes place within the
corridor. He reviewed the following final items for
Planning Commission to conceptually review and make
their recommendations:
A. North Brown Road Alternatives
B. Area 4 - Sid Rebers Property
C. Area E - Requirement to Extend Municipal Services
Request from Cici (Busy Beaver Day Care Center) to
connect the new facility to the the Long Lake City
Water & Sewer System.
D. Engineer's Report - Concerning existing capacity
of Long Lake water system and impact of proposed
Orono use at 600 sewer unit level.
E. Eisenger - Written request to withdraw request
for sewer for consideration with the current
Comprehensive Plan Amendment.
F. Further discussion of Areas 1,2,3, and 5.
Jeffrey Roos, Long Lake City Engineer, was present and
made the following comments:
1. Regarding the traffic plan. Long Lake is opposed
to any option that closes North Brown Road.
2. Regarding a south frontage road from Willow Drive
to Daniel St., there is concern about the traffic on
Daniel Street.
3. Regarding the water issue - Long Lake will review
requests to hook up to its water system with
consideration of demand and if Long Lake can support
the system.

4. Regarding Sanitary Sewer service problems, the
600 units is a concern not’ng that there may be
additional capacity in the interceptor line.
He noted that the City of Long Lake would like to be
kept involved in this planning procedure.
John Shardlow noted that when the Metropolitan Council
reviews the MUSA line, a public hearing will be held for
the communities involved by the Council.
Rodger Bense of the State Bank of Long Lake requested
that the City consider them in negotiations regarding
the future of North Brown Road since this is an integral
part of access to the bank as well as to downtown
shopping area of Long Lake.
Marshall Levin of Pope Associates Architects voiced
concern regarding the number of sewer units allocated to
Area 3.
Chairman Kelley noted that the 500 sewer units has
always been an issue of negotiation with Long Lake and
Medina, in which Orono cannot simply take these units.
Dave Willits, 1900 West Farm Road, commented that he is
a new resident who moved to Orono because of the 2 acre
rural area requirements and feels there are many
residents who are willing to pay the price to live in
rural Orono who are not in favor of the proposed
changes.
Referring to the Corridor Study map. Chairman Kelley
noted that there are no changes proposed in Areas A-E in
which he is in agreement with. He asked the other
Planning Commission members their feelings regarding
Areas A-E.
Taylor stated he felt comfortable with them continuing
in their present state subject to the minor
modifications such as:
Area A - the previously approved use other than
residential.
Area E - Finding the Cici request for sewer and
water reasonable.
Chairman Kelley stated that he would be opposed to sewer
requests in Area E, but due to the need for a sprinkler
system in the day care center, he approves of the
request for water.
Hanson would incorporate Area E in the sewer area MUSA
line.

Planning Commission reconmendation~ that Area E be
amended in Comp plan to be included in the MUSA line
extension.
Regarding Area 1 which is currently residential property
on the west side of Old Crystal Bay Road between the
railroad tracks and Highway 12. Chairman Kelley felt as
he has stated at previous meetings, that this area
should be left as-is, a 2-acre residential area with no
MUSA line extension.
Taylor agreed with Chairman Kelley*s opinion noting that
there have been no formal requests by any of the current
property owners to change Area 1.
Bellows stated that previously she has agreed with
Kelley and Taylor's opinion, but now has concerns with
MnDoT's future plans for 394 extension westward.
City Administrator Bernhardson explained that the
Willmar Chamber of Commerce has initiated a request to
extend the freeway from Wayzata to Willmar and possibly
eventually to the State line. MnDot has indicated that
they do not anticipate anything happening and there is
no funding available for an extension in the forseeable
future.
Taylor and Cohen felt that consideration of a future 394
extension was too far away to include in this planning
study.
Planning Commission recommendation- no changes in Area
1.
Regarding Area 2, Chairman Kelley felt a service road
should be put in at an undetermined location.
Planning Commission concurred with Chairman Kelley's
opinion.
Planning Commission recommendation- service road be
Installed at some location in Area 2 to support the
traffic and eliminate the existing traffic hazards.
Chairman Kelley reviewed Area 3 noting that it is
currently part of the MUSA line. He recommended that a
portion of Area 3 along Highway 12 should be designated
non- residential and recommended that the wetlands act
as the natural barrier between the residential and non-
residential.

Bellows asked if the property north of the wetlands
could support septics systems within a 2-acre rural
residential area.
Assistant Zoning Administrator Gaffron felt that some
areas would not be able to support a septic system,
which is one good reason to zone the area as PRD
(Planned Residential District),
Planning Commission recommendation- Area south of
wetland designated commercial / non-single family
residential sewered area. Area north of wetland
designated single family residential with no sewer on
the eastern half noting that there may be septic
problems where a solution may be clustering. Amend comp
plan to address housing excluding any economic
implications .
Regarding Areas 4 & 5. Chairman Kelley is ir favor of an
east/west road connection. He is also in favor of Area
5 connecting to the MUSA line.
Planning Commission concurred with Chairman Kelley's
opinion regarding the connection.
Planning Commission recommended that a buffer of terming
and plantings be included on the North of Area 5
adjacent Dickey Lake Drive.
Planning Commission recommended that the road connection
issue be left open for future options.
Regarding expanding the boundaries of the B-1 area and
sewered area:
Chairman Kelley stated that, given the fact that
numerous trees may be lost in order to provide
septic systems, he felt it should be sewered.
Cohen stated he would be open to expanding the
sewered area back 150'. He felt strongly about 2-
acre minimum lot sizes.
Bellows stated that loss of trees should not be the
issue, however, she is not necessarily opposed to
sewer in this area and felt there has been a
reasonable request for sewer by Mr. Rebers. She
feels the whole parcel should be included in the
MUSA line and not limited to 2-acre lots.
Hanson concurred with Bellows.

Johnson felt that the area should be sewered and
that 1 and 2 acre mix is a good compromise.
Commission recommendation- Entire Area 4 be
included in the MUSA line and B-1 area be left as-is
until a specific proposal is submitted.
Chairman Kelley noted that he is opposed to Planning
Commission's recommendation and feels that Lots 3 and 4
should be residential 2-acre lots with on-site septic
systems.
Addressing the trailways. Chairman Kelley felt it
important that a trail system be developed somewhere
between the schools into Long Lake off of Highway 12.
There were no other comments from the public and the
public hearing was closed.
It was moved by Chairman Kelley, seconded by Cohen, to
recommend approval of Comprehensive Plan Amendment No. 2

REZONING
CONTINUATION OF PUBLIC HEARING
Zoning Administrator Mabusth explained that at the last
meeting the former applicant, John McDowell, was advised
that the original rezoning application would have to be
modified to include only the areas of the various
properties within 1,000 feet of the shoreline of Lake
Minnetonka. The application was tabled in order to give
Mr. McDowell the additional time to review his position
and evaluate the effects on his future development.
Since that meeting Mr. McDowell has released all
interest in the current rezoning application as amended
by staff. Because of the beneifits to the City to
rezone this property, providing the needed environmental
controls i.e. hardcover etc., the City of Orono staff
recommends pursuing the application. She reviewed the
areas involved.
Rick Burger, 3750 Bavsi,de Ro^d. was ores^pl^
his father, John Burger. He asked if there were any
scheduled plans for sewer in that area.

Staff advised him that there are no definite plans for
sewer in that area. There is a study in progress to
determine if sewer is needed, and if so, the earliest it
would happen would be two years from now.

Chairman Kelley wished to amend it to read "A 10 feet
wide buffer of natural screening, preferably evergreens,
shall be planted ...". Ke also noted thav he would like
the Police Department's input on this amendment.
Bellows voiced concern for parking accomodations for the
overnight sailor, which this amendment prohibits.
Zoning Administrator Mabusth noted that t!iis amendment,
deals specifically with a parking lot use in residential
districts. The code currently has no special standards
for parking areas in residential zones.
After discussion, Planning Commission felt the ordinance
should not be amended for parking lot use in a
residential area.

or applicant had any questions they could voice them

Mr. Eisincer stated he was not being compensated other
than Park Construction providing the grading.
John Gannon^ Project Manager for Park Construction, was

this application before tabling it:
Chairmain Kelley stated that his initial feeling is
that they should not be accepting 10,000 truckloads
of material, they should be requiring 10,000
truckloads of material removed from the dump site
and soils be restored to original state.
Bellows stated she is concerned with the safety of
trucks transporting this large amount of material

Mr. & Mrs, Gregg Perl were present for this matter.
Assistant Zoning Administrator Gaffron explained the
request for rear setback, structure-to-structure
setback, side setback variances, and height variance to
construct an addition to existing residence. He
reviewed the existing structures and the proposal.
Staff recommends tabling this application subject to the
following:
1. Applicant providing a site evaluation and design
for interim septic repair/upg*ade to handle the
proposed house.
2. Applicant providing an *«cceptable justification
or hardship reason for granting the structure-to-
structure variance, or revise plans to show house
attached to garage; staff recommends denial of this
variance as proposed and feels applicant should re
design to maintain the required 10* setback, or
attach the garage.
3. Staff suggests that the side setback variance is
justifiable given the addition is no closer to the
line than the existing house.
4. Staff suggests that the rear setback variance is
reasonable, given that the side lot line limits
expansion to the left, septic system limits
expansion to the front, garage and building height
limitation limits the expansion to the right or
upward.
5. Staff recommends that applicant be requested to
address how he will handle the home occupation
problems on this property.
6. Applicant must provide a to-scale set of plans
or revised plans for future review (existing plans
filed are 1”=4.3', not workable scale), and must
provide an updated survey verifying the location of
the garage.

Mr. Perl noted regarding the structure-to-structure area
between the garage and proposed addition, he does not
feel it would look aesthetically good if there is a big
gap between the two. He planr to try and blend the two
structures together.
Assistant Zoning Administrator Gaffron noted that the
Building Official has recommended that there be a 10*
setback between structures for fire protection reasons.
Chairman Kelley stated he felt the plan was too
ambitious for the site. His main concerns are the
septic problems and outstanding issue of the applicant's
home occupation license.
Mrs. Perl stated that they have been dealing with the
City's prosecuting attorney regarding past citations for
violations of the home occupation standards, and were
under the impression that the issues had been suitably
resolved.
Assistant Zoning Administrator Gaffron explained that
according to City Prosecuting Attorney Scott Richter,
there is still one outstanding citation which staff has
chosen to not pursue unless further complaints are
received. Gaffron noted that no additional complaints
have been received, however some of the original
problems regarding storage of materials and equipment
have not been totally solved.
Bellows stated she felt the best solution for this lot
is starting over with a totally new structure.
Hanson felt the variances requested were too great and
recommended that applicant work with staff for
alternatives. He noted he would definitely not approve
the structure-to-structure variance for safety reasons.
There were no other comments, it was moved by Bellows,

reviewed the existing and proposed hardcover
calculations as follows:
Existing Proposed

Mr. Potas noted a discrepancy in the side setback
clarifying that the room addition would be 15*-l/2" from
the side lot line (survey indicates that the proposed
addition would be just over 10' from side lot line)
which would eliminate the need for a side setback
variance.
Assistant Zoning Administrator Gaffron stated tha' the
discrepancy should be verified and survey be revised if
found to be incorrect.

Bellows agreed with staff's recommendation feeling that
there is substantial area for hardcover trade-offr
and/or an alternative plan.
Mr. Potas stated he felt hardcover trade-offs to equal
existing hardcover would be reasonable.
Chairman Kelley noted the issue of sightline
encroachment which seemed to be present in the proposal
and is opposed to encroachment into average setback.
Taylor stated he was concerned about the hardcover and
felt that hardcover should be reduced substantially. He
was not as concerned about the sightline encroachment.
Mr, Potas stated that the adjacent property's sightline
was already obstructed by the trees.
Cohen agreed with Taylor's recommendation.
Johnson stated he agreed on the reduction of hardcover
and would need to visit the site to determine if there
is any sightline encroachment.
Curtis Johnson, 2024 Shadywood Road, felt that the
addition should not encroach into the average setback,
which would be consistent with Planning Commissions'
past action.
There were no other comments from the public regarding
this matter and the public hearing was closed.

Assistant Zoning Administrator Gaffron noted that the
applicants live in Illinois and asked that the Planning
Commission review their application without their
presence. Gaffron indicated to the applicants that
their absence would be accepted because this was a
renewal application, however, advised them that if
Planning Commission had any questions or concerns in
this application it may be tabled requiring them to be
present at the next review.
Cohen felt that because there are objections to the

PUBLIC HEARIIIG 10s57 - 11:21
The Affidavit of Publication and Certificate of Mailing
was noted.
Robert Martinson was present for this matter.
Zoning Administrator Mabusth explained the request for
multiple variances to construct a new residence on an
undeveloped unsewered riparian lot. Variances requested
are:
Lot Area = .2 acres or 10%
Lot Width ■ 72.5' or 36%
Side Setback « 6' or 20% on both sides
Average Setback for Accessory Structures -
Pool » 55' in front of average setback line
Deck ■ 21' in front of average setback line
No Hardcover variance required
Because this is a through lot, a Conditional Use Permit
is required for accessory structures (deck/tennis court
and pool). These structures as proposed meet the
required front yard setback from each street. Access
will be off of Heritage Drive.
Mr. Martinson stated that he contacted 2 of the 5
neighbors within 200' of the lot, and they did not
indicate any objection to the proposal. He noted in his
proposal his attempt to preserve the greenery and also
comply with front yard setback. He noted that the deck
is at grade level not requiring a railing.
Chairman Kelley stated he felt that this lot could be
developed in conformance with the standard with the
exception of the width.
Bellows stated she was concerned with the paddle tennis
court which typically have high fences and require
illumination and the intrusion into the side setback.
Taylor stated they he did not feel everything proposed
could be approved. The number of variances requested
was extreme. Variances for lot area and lot width are
appropriate.
Hanson felt there are different ways to deal with the
lot width problems.
Johnson stated he felt the proposal was well laid out.
Cohen stated he was uncomfortable with the accessory
structures.

Bellows stated that with more architectural work, the

Zoning Administrator Mabusth noted that the code already
addressed required setbacks for such structures and
questioned Planning Commission's authority to establish
use limitations. In addition, Mabusth advised that
staff can not support both a lot width and two side
setback variances for new construction and that
conditions could be made in conjunction with the
conditional use permit for the paddle tennis court.
Planning Commission directed that applicant to come back
with more information regarding the pool and paddle

similar variances in 1984 to remodel the existing home,
but has since decided that the bulk of the existing
house is in a codition that makes it most feasible to
remove it and start over.
