The Affidavit of Publication and Certificate of Mailing
was noted.
William Bracken was present for this matter
Zoning Administrator Mabusth explained that in 1984 the
City approved a lot line rearrangement of Lot 16, the
farm at Long Lake, that divided the lot into three
parcels for combination with three adjacent properties.
The Bracken property. Lot 17, combined with Parcel A was
issued a building permit per the survey submitted v’ith
application that failed to designate the subject
drainage and utility easement. The house was placed
over a portion of the existing drainage and utility
easements located along the shared lot lines of Lots 16
and 17. Mr. Bracken had difficulty getting a mortgage
because the title company refused to give clear title
with the new house placed over the easement. Staff sent
a letter to the title company advising that this
specific s^ '.on of the drainage and utility easement
serves no p. lie purpose in its present location and
that the City would consider vacation. The Title
Company accepted the letter from staff but Mr. Bracken
has petitioned to vacate the 10 feet wide drainage and
utility easement located adjacent to the share lot line
of Lots 16 and 17.
No one was present from the public regarding this matter
and the public hearing was closed.
It was moved by Bellows, seconded by Cohen, to recommend
approval for vacation of a 10 feet wide drainage and
utility easement along the share lot line of Lots 16 and
17, Block 1, the Farm at Long Lake, finding the easement
not currently occupied with utility lines nor a
drainageway and finding no future public purpose of the
easement area in its present location. Motion, Ayes 7,

PUBLIC HBARIH6 7:47 - 8:18 r «The Affidavit of Publication and Certificace of Mailing
was noted.
Mr. Boyke was present for these matters.
Assistant Zoning Administrator Gaffron explained zoning
application request #1115 - Vacation of existing
drainage and utility easement along existing interior
lot line. Because no utility or drainage purpose is
currently served by the existing easement, it is
appropriate as part of the replatting process to vacate
the existing drainage and utility easement along the
interior division line, in exchange fot the granting of
a similar easment along the re-platted lot lines.
Chairman Kelley asked where the utilities to serve the
new house would come from.
Mr. Boyke stated that natural gas would most likely be
brought in from Hollander Road along existing utility
easements .
There were no nomjnents from the public regarding this
request.
Assistant Zoning AdiViinistrator Gaffron explained zoning
application request #1116 - Rearrangement of lot lines
to make the existing vacant lot feasible for owner s
preferred house location. Applicant proposes an
alternate building site in order to utilize the natural
views of Lydiard Lake. He addressed staff's concerns
regarding the proposed driveway location and the
topography of the property.
Bellows felt it was in the best interest of the
applicant as well as a necessity to have a topographic
survey in order to make a responsible recommendation.
Planning Commission concurred with Bellows.
James Hunder, 265 Hollander, stated that he would also
like to see a topographic layout.
Mr. Boyke stated that both the builder and architect
have walked the site and feel that it is a workable
plan .

Mrs. Richard Lyman, 715 North Ferndale Road, expressed
concern regarding the proposed dedicated cul-de-sac,
noting that she recently planted flowers in that area.
She also asked who was responsible for road
construction, as well as for repairing the existing road
if damaged by home construction.
Zoning Administrator Gaffron stated that staff is
recommending that the land be dedicated for a future
cul-de-sac, however, it may be many years before it is
actually developed.
Regarding the damage to the private road during
construction. Chairman Kelley stated that the residents
must address that issue with Hie applicant, since this
is a private roadway.
Mr. Boyke asked the Planning Commission to conceptually
approve the plan without regard to access in order to
avoid delaying this process, noting that he was told by
staff that a topographic survey was not needed for this
review.
Chairman Kelley indicated to the applicant that it was
the Planning Commission's functional responsibity to
request and review a topographic survey prior to making
a recommendation to the Council.
In order to save time, staff advised applicant that this
application could be reviewed at the April 20th Planning
Commission meeting and forwarded to the April 27th
Council meeting.
There were no additional comments from the public.
It was moved by Chairman Kelley, seconded by Bellows, to

VACATION OF DRAINAGE BAS]
PUBLIC HEARING 8:19-8:29
The Affidavit of Publication and Certificate of Mailing
was noted.
Zoning A Iministrator Mabusth explained in 1984 the City
approved a comprehensive drainage project for 2450 (Lot
2) and 2500 (Lot 3) Sixth Avenue North, which at that
time were under single ownership. The plan consisted of
the installation of a retention pond on the east, Lot 2,
that would drain to the west to another proposed
i

#1118 CITT OF OROHO COHTIHUBD
retention pond on Lot 3. The plan provided for overflow
drainage to run from the proposed second pond on Lot 3
south along a drainage swale to the drainage ditch at
County Road 6. The pond on Lot 2 was installed in 1984
with the overflow drainage channeled through underground
tiles under an existing driveway and surfacing at the
east border of Lot 3. The pond on Lot 3 was never
constructed and currently, the drainage, now above
ground, flows westward to swale area and then south to
County Road 6 drainage ditch. The current owner of Lot
3, Construction Mortgage Investors Co., does not plan to
install the pond to the north of the residence and wants
release from any obligations stipulated in the original
conditional use permit and the Conserva*-ion and Flowage
Easement taken over the proposed drainage area by the
City.
Per direction from the City Engineer and City Attorney,
staff recommends approval of the vacation of drainage
and utility easements as described in the Flowage and
Conservation Easement and Waiver of Damages granted to
the City over a proposed drainage area of Lot 3, Block
1, Willow Run, subject to the following conditions:
1. Payment by CMIC for all costs charged against the
City as a result of this request.
2. Execution of a drainage easement over the now
redefined drainageway that intersects Lot 3 to be
executed by owner prior to Council action.
Bellows questioned whether without the pond, would
drainage continue to work once the house is occupied.
Assistant Zoning Administrator Gaffron felt there would
not be a problem and referenced the City Engineer's
recommendation.
Because this property is for sale. Chairman Kelley felt
the new owner may want the pond, therefore should deal
with the new owner before formally vacating the pond.
Zoning Administrator Mabusth stated that the required
poi i has hindered the sale of this property.
Adjacent property owner Bonnie Keller, Willow Drive, had
questions regarding the setback of a future animal pole
barn.
Zoning Administrator Mabusth stated that the setback for
a structure housing animals for non-commercial use is
75', setback for structures that house animals (for
financial gain or commercial use) is 150', and
additionally, this 4-acre parcel is allowed 2 horses.

his absence.
Assistant Zoning Administrator Gaffron explained the
request to relocate the lot line between 3134 & 3145
Jamestown Road. The land to be traded is about 0.15
acre of burton's in exchange for about 0.15 acre of

VARIANCE - SECOND REVIEW
Mr. Potas was prese..’for this matter.
Assistant Zoning Administrator Gaffron reviewed the new
supportive information obtained since this application
was tabled in February:
a) No side setback variance is needed for proposed
extension of the house.
b) Drainage swale does not appear to be a problem
and should be maintained.
c) Applicant proposes a final reduction of hardcover
in the 75-250’ zone to 45.4% from 46.7^ existing;
and suggests a reduction in the 250 — 500' zone from
42% to 32%.

d) The existence of a drainage manhole in the
driveway which accepts a portion of the driveway
runoff into a 55 gallon drum which would reduce the
impact of hardcover on the property by collecting a
portion of the runoff and letting it soak into the
ground.
e) Applicant feels that a reduction in size or
change in location of the proposed addition, in
order to decrease average setback encroachment, will
not serve his purpose and intent for the addition.
He contends that the neighbor to the south has trees
which already effect the lake view and that his
proposed addition will not significantly impact the
neighbor's view.
Mr. Potas noted another area in which hardcover could be
removed in the 75-250' zone for an approximate overall
decrease in hardcover to 42-43%.
It was noted that the affected neighbor to the south has
been in Florida since November, and it is questionable
whether he is aware of this proposal. Assistant Zoning
Administrator Gaffron stated that the neighbor has been
sent a notice and the notice has not been received back
as undeliverable. It is assumed that the notice has
been forwarded to the Florida address.
Bellows felt that the tree issue brought up by applicant
was not a valid consideration, that the addition is too
tight creating a precedent if allowed.
Hanson felt reluctant to recommend approval without some
comment from the affected neighbor. He felt that
another plan could be architecturally accomplished.
Taylor felt that that the intrusion of 1 or 2 feet would
be minor in relation to the actual view of the lake and
that the applicant has been cooperative in reducing the
hardcover.
Johnson agreed with Taylor's comments.
No one was present from the public regarding this matter
and the public hearing was closed.
It was moved by Hanson, seconded by Brown, to table chis
application pending response from the affected neighbor.
Motion, Ayes 3, Nays 4. Motion fails. Taylor felt it
unfair to applicant to table for this reason at this
second review, whereas this issue was not mentioned at
the first review. Johnson felt that it was reasonable
to assume that the neighbor has been notified and two
months is sufficient time to respond.

VARIANCES
SECOND REVIEW
Robert Martinson was present for this matter.
Zoning Administrator explained the request for average
lakeshore setback variance for accessory structures;
1) Wooden deck at grade (railing not required), 30'
in front of average setback line.
2) Pool/paved area at grade 60' in front of average
setback line.
Lot area and lot width variances are also requested.
She noted that applicant no longer seeks a side setback
variance for the principal structure. She also noted
that the City code does not require a fence around a
swimming pool nor does the applicant's insurance company
require it. However, applicant is permitted to put a 3-
1/2' fence within the lakeshore yard up to the 75'
lakeshore setback line.
Mr. Martinson stated that he contacted adjacent property
owner Alden Anderson, 1830 Shoreline Lrive, who
expressed concern that the City would grant variances
to area & width when they denied a similar request.
Mabusth explained his request involved rural lots held
under common ownership. Mr. Anderson was not present for
this meeting. Mr. Martinson stated that Mr. Anderson
appeared to have no problem with his proposal or the
effects on his property.
Zoning Administrator Mabusth noted that the other
adjacent property owner, Pauline Bouchard, ^ 1860
Shoreline Drive, contacted the City offices to advise of
her complete approval of the site development plan.
There were no comments from the public.

CONTIHUATIOH OF PUBLIC HEARING
Present for this matter were: Charlie Stone,
representing Smiths Bay Marina; Gerald Toberman,
developer; and Gary DeSantes, former owner of Sailor's
World .
Zoning Administrator Mabusth explained that the
applicant seeks a conditional use permit to permit a
less non-conforming use of the property. She explained
the history of the present non-conforming use.
The Plan involves public retails sales on the subject
property and a private clubhouse on the Sailor's World
property. It does not include any on-site boat repair.
They would like consideration of some new boat sales.
Mr. Stone indicated that they would like up to 10 of the
proposed 16 parking stalls for boat use.
Bellows asked if there would be enough parking to
accommodate the number of slips, employees, and
customers .
Mr. Stone stated that the average marina use, even on
peak days, is only 30%.
Art Tourangeau, 2060 Spates Ave., verified that a
maximum of 15 cars are parked at one time to accomodate
the existing 79 boat slips. He stated that he felt the
proposed use would be a less intense use in addition to
the use cleaning up the area.
Bellows suggested that the appropriateness of the use be
addressed as well as the intensity of use, finding that
a marina use is a much more appropriate use on this
shoreline property than a transmission shop.

Regarding the issue of pedestrian crossing on County Rd.

pedestrian crossing.
Chairman Kelley reed into the record letters from Alan
Nettles, 1940 Shoreline Drive, addressing his concerns;
and Terry Morse, 2080 Spates Ave, indicating his support
of the proposed use.
Mary Crear, 1980 Spates Avenue, stated that she was in
favor of the proposed plans but had concerns regarding
the location and number of boats stored, boat repair
use, and the amount of blacktop hardcover. They would
be ameniable to approximately 4 boats stored on the
property. In addition, she would like to see a
landscape plan.
There were no other comments from the public and the
public hearing was closed.
The Planning Commission unanimously agreed (except
Cohen) that the proposal would not be an intensification
of use, and in order to proceed with a recommendation
they would need a more detailed commercial site plan.
Cohen abstained from commenting and voting on this
application because of past dealings with Gerald
Toberman.
The Planning Commission recommended
issues/items/concerns to be addressed in the commercial
site plan.

convey the boat to and from the water. The boat will be
stored on the shoreline during the warm months of the
year and will not be stored in the lakeshore yard during
winter months. Applicant has advised that the soft,
silt ]ike bottom does not provide adequate support for a
boat lift and that dredging and filling the lakebed with
crushed rock is not acceptable because of the need to
constantly maintian with dredging and filling. Staff
recommends approval finding no visual impact of the
structure upon the neighbors.
No one was present from the public regarding this matter
and the public hearing was closed.

PUBLIC HEARING 9:50-10:42
The Affidavit of Publication and Certificate of Mailing
was noted.
Representing the property owner were: James McNulty of
McNulty Construction Company and Edward Hasek of Howard
Dahlgren Associates - planning consultants.
Assistant Zoning Administrator Gaffron reviewed the
request to construct a 1,200 s.f. detached caretake’
residence and and a 12,000 s.f. "sports center" for
the private use of the MacMillan family. The sports
center includes an enclosed tennis court, whirlpool and
sauna, workout room, golf room, game area,
kitchenette/wet bar, mens and womens restrooms, four
garage stalls, plus an outdoor patio area. The proposal
includes a separate driveway access from the private
shared driveway serving the main residence. Conditional
Use Permit required for a detached caretaker house.
Variances required to: 1) construct caretaker house and
recreational facility structures nearer front lot line
than principal residence; 2) construct a caretaker house
and recreational facility structures in excess of 1000
s.f.; 3) to allow recreational facility structure height
in excess of 30 feet. He reviewed the following issues
identified by staff:
a) Location of structures in "front yard"
b) Visual impact on neighboring properties

c) Height of recreational facility (40' main ground
level to pcuk, 33' average calculated height)
d) Degree cf private controls on use of and access
to recreational facility
e) Floor area of the structures related to concerns
regarding potential for future commercial use of the
recreation facility (commercial use is not proposed
or intended, but a detached structure of this
magnitude in a residential zone in Orc*no is unique)
f) Provision of utilities -
- On-site sewage treatment
- Water supply (building inspector's preliminary
review indicates the recreational facility will
require a sprin)cler system to meet fire safety
code requirements)
Mr. McNulty showed on the plans that there would be
minimal, if any, visual impact of proposed structures
from Fox Street because of the existing heavy
vegetation. In addition, they plan to replace pine
trees in the area of driveway excavation.
Taylor felt it was near impossible to have no visual
impact from a structure this size. He also expressed
concerns regarding the effect on the residential
neighborhood from a construction project this size.
Chairman Kelley brought up the issue that the principal
residence is a non-homestead property, not occupied by a
family, and owned by a corporation.
Mr. McNulty stated it is owned by the MacMillan family
partnership.
Bellows felt there were concerns with the intended use
i.e. a large family associated with a large corporation
and the fact that the main house is not occupied by a
family member could be close to a commercial use.
There was a big concern anong many of the Planning
Commission members that the recreational facility and
principal residence would bv’ used in conjunctioi. w Ln
the family's corporation.
Chairman Kelley questioned how a variance for an
accessory use can be requested without the presence of a
principal use.
Staff advised that was a legal issue in which they would
have to consult with the City Attorney.

PUBLIC HEARIRG 10:44 - 11:05
The Affidavit of Publication and Certificate of Mailing
was noted.
Mr. Ragatz was present for this matter.
Assistant Zoning Administrator Gaffron explained the
proposal to remove an existing 14'x 16' shed near the
road and replace it with a 22'x24' garage. This would
provide the opportunity to locate the garage to meet the
10' side and 10' street setbacks, however applicant is
requesting a variance to keep the garage 2' from the lot
line and 2' from the street, a slightly better setback
situation than the existing but not meeting the code
standards. Applicant’s stated hardship is the slope of
the lot, however staff does not feel this hardship is
valid. He noted that if the garage is moved to the 10'
street setback line, a standard driveway will bring
applicant's 75-250' hardcover over the 25% limit to
approximately 27%.
Mr. Ragatz noted a hardcover discrepancy which included
the deck and disagreed that the deck should be
considered hardcover because when it was approved to be
built it was not considered hardcover. He noted that
the hardcover amount is critical because he plans a
future addition.
Chairman Kelley agreed with applicant's stance on the
deck not being considered hardcover in this particular
case.

that an affected neighbor never received notification,
due to County tax records never being updated, however
applicant has talked to this neighbor and indicated no
problems.
Assistant Zoning Administrator Gaffron explained the
plan to raze the existing residence and construct a new
home on the site. Variances requested:
1. 100* lot width where 140* is required.
2. 8* encroachment into average lakeshore setback
for proposed deck.
3. In the 75-250* zone, 27.9% hardcover proposed
exceeding the 25% allowed.
Ken and Jaye Ann Zullo were present for this matter,
Mr. Zullo noted the need to have a driveway turnaround
in order to avoid backing out of a long downhill
driveway onto the county road, which would require more
hardcover.

Mr. & Mrs. Zullo stated that they wished to take
advantage of the topography (hill) to create a walk-out
and if the house were moved back to eliminate
encroachment, it would be too close to a large tree. In
addition, they would have views the neighbors' house.
Planning Commission felt that all new construction
should conform with lakeshore setbacks. They would be
amenable to a lot width variance and 75-250' hardcover
variance.
Applicants noted that the adjacent neighbor to the east
planned an addition wliich would ultimately affect their
average lakeshore setback line, hence proposed deck
would not be encroaching into the average lakeshore
setback, if neighbor did construct his addition.
Planning Commission and staff stated that no application
has been made to the City for such a proposal,
therefore, could not be considered.
No one was present from the public regarding this matter
and the public hearing wa« closed.
It was moved by Chairman Kelley, seconded by Bellows, to
