VOTE: Ayes 5, Nays 0. COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT REPORT 14. LA23-000026, ESKUCHE DESIGN O/B/O DEAN & HEIDI MARTINSON, 2605 NORTH SHORE DRIVE, VARIANCES, RESOLUTION NO.7410 This item was adopted as part of the consent agenda. 15. LA23-000046, REBECCA HOLZEM, 3407 EAST LAKE STREET, VARIANCE City Planner Nye presented a summary of the request. She said the applicant is requesting variances to average lakeshore setback and hard cover setback to construct a new, 280 square foot deck on the property. The property is substandard in size and width and is located a few lots away from Stubbs Bay but is considered a lake lot due to the OHWL (Ordinary High Water Level) being present on the property. There is an existing home that is within the 75-foot setback and was approved in 2005 with variances through Resolution 5222. There is currently no outdoor living space on the property. The proposed deck would be located within the 75-foot setback, within the average lakeshore setback and brings the overall hardcover on the site from 27 percent to 35 percent. The original approval of variances for the home (Resolution 5222) specifically states that a deck was forgone from the design of the home in order to minimize the hardcover request. It went on to say that future hardcover increases would likely not be supported. The applicant has listed the extremely small lot size and lack of outdoor space as practical difficulties. Sept. 18, 2023, the Planning Commission held a public hearing. A member of the public spoke in favor of the request. The Commission reviewed the application and noted the proposed project is not out of character for the neighborhood and believed the property had practical difficulties due to the small lot size and unique placement near the lake. The Planning Commission discussed the size of the deck and questioned if the size was necessary and referenced the original 2005 approval. The Commission on a split vote recommended approval of the application as applied by a vote of 4 to 2. Staff recommends denial of the application as applied. The homeowner has reasonable use of the property with a single-family home. Staff recognizes the practical difficulties of the substandard site, but staff does not believe the requested deck size is necessary, especially without any other reduction of hardcover on the site. Rebecca Holzem, 3407 East Lake St., the applicant, said when she originally purchased the property in 1996 there was a small cabin with a small garage. She worked with the City and met all of the side -lot setbacks. It states that she had foregone a deck but said she had foregone a deck at that time. She said she had stated she would hope to add a deck eventually but apparently that was not recorded at the time. She is currently re -siding this house and wanted to work with the contractor at the same time to add a deck. She said she is the only person on her side of the street without a deck or patio. The average square footage of her neighbor's decks is over 300 square feet. She did not think she is being greedy in asking for that size deck because there needs to be space for furniture, table and chairs and a grill. Her house is Page 2 of 10 MINUTES OF THE ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING October 9, 2023 6:00 o'clock p.m. small and it is difficult to entertain without an outdoor living space. She pointed out the original approval in question was nearly 20 years ago and things have changed. It was more of a financial consideration to hold off on the deck then. She said she was just trying to build a house that was livable. Veach asked about a deck reconfiguration. Holzem said that would not work because of a lower level patio door. She said the Planning Commission wanted her to talk to the Lake Minnehaha Watershed District. She did and was told she did not require permits because her request would be not detrimental to the creek. She said a neighbor was given a variance to build a garage that is closer to the creek than her deck would be. A neighboring lot is larger but has 48 percent hardcover. She said she is trying to be honest and do this the right way. Walsh stated it's always tough when people decide to build a house and want to maximize the house and don't put in a deck and then later owners ask where is the deck. However, this is an extremely small lot. Johnson said the issue for him is not so much lakeshore setback but that the lot is already over the hardcover limit. Walsh said that is a problem in the community in that very small lots end up with higher hardcover. On the other hand, the City wants homes to be functional and to have enjoyable outdoor living space. He asked if there were other hardscapes she could eliminate on the property. Johnson said she could get a credit for replacing her front walk with a pervious surface. Holzem said she has a single -car garage but a double driveway to eliminate street parking. She asked if they are saying she should tear up her driveway and front walk. She said the stair off the deck is needed because she has no second exit in case of fire. She said she would be willing to remove four feet on the west end of the deck so it would end up being a 16-foot by 14-foot deck. Veach said she believes middle ground is where the solution lies and she would support a slightly smaller deck. It was pointed out there is a path with stepping stones and that is adding to the hardcover. Nye said that could be looked at. The stone walk in the front is only 53 square feet, Nye said. Benson said she is agreement with Johnson in not wanting to add to the hardcover. Veach said she is confused by the amount of hardcover allowed a neighboring property. Nye said it was a replacement of a dilapidated garage but that goes way back. Walsh agrees there is a middle ground but houses need to be liveable. He said if she could remove the stone walk around the side and reduce the deck to 16-feet by 14-feet that would be a compromise. The driveway and front walk is needed, he said. Crosby moved, Veach seconded, to ask staff to bring a resolution for approval of LA23-000046, 3407 East Lake Street, Variance with the stone walk removed and a 16-foot by 14-foot deck. VOTE: Ayes 4, Nays 1 (Johnson). Page 3 of 10 MINUTES OF THE ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING October 9, 2023 6:00 o'clock p.m. 16. LA23-000049, STONEWOOD O/B/O MICHAEL GORMAN, 3001 CASCO POINT ROAD, AVERAGE LAKESHORE SETBACK VARIANCE — RESOLUTION NO. 7411 This item was adopted as part of the consent agenda. Community Development Director Oakden reported to the Council on permit revenue to date. Revenue is above projections, and above 2022 by about $75,000 and they are very busy with permits. Her office issued 130 permits last month which is on par with what they have done the last few Septembers. Staff is working on next week's Planning Commission meeting agenda. They are trying to wrap up end of summer permits before winter. FINANCE DIRECTOR REPORT Finance Director Olson said the City has been working on collecting unpaid utility bills and has collected nearly $20,000 with a little more than $100,00 outstanding. He pointed out it is the first meeting for remote recording and broadcasting with no one in the back room running the IT for the meeting. PARKSREPORT 17. EVENTS SPONSORSHIP PROGRAM Parks Director Lemons reported that the Parks Department runs a number of events but has not had a formalized method to accept and recognize sponsorships and donations. The City is looking at setting up an Events Sponsorship Program. The City cannot solicit for donations. That would be up to Parks Commission members and it would be active on the City website. Walsh asked about a vehicle to make the donations tax deductible, pointing out the City has the Orono Legacy 501c3 which could be a way to make donations tax deductible. Lemons said many of the donations they receive are in -kind like hot dogs and cookies and they want to find a way to recognize that type of donation too. He looked at some other communities for ideas for this program. He added it is also not specific to Parks but could be for Police or Fire or any other City activity. City Administrator Edwards said this program would be separate from any other program in the City. Benson asked if the program had been discussed in the Parks Commission meeting. She said she finds it helpful when new initiatives go through that process and are documented. Crosby moved, Benson seconded, to approve the Events Sponsorship Program. VOTE: Ayes 5, Nays 0. Lemons said they are getting close to end -of -season for golf and parks. The golf course had a very strong year with increases in play and revenue about $40,000 above last year. The new junior league was very successful and they plan to continue to grow that program, he said. Annual maintenance is being performed at Lurton and there will be some trail projects this fall. There will be irrigation blow -outs and putting the golf course to bed. They have also contracted with Hennepin County Corrections "Sentenced to Serve" to provide some services for 21 days for things like removing buckthorn. Fall is the best time to Page 4 of 10 MINUTES OF THE ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING October 9, 2023 6:00 o'clock p.m. remove buckthorn so the focus has been on that and not yet other invasive species. Some of that could be accomplished with an Adopt -A -Park Program. FIRE REPORT 9. AUTHORIZATION TO HIRE PART TIME -FIRE FIGHTERS Chief Van Eyll recommended three individuals, Shea Chwialkowski, Nate Weber and Kayla Kennedy, to be hired as part-time fire fighters assigned to weekday duty crews effective Oct 10, 2023 at the rate of $20 per hour. He said none of them are Long Lake Fire Fighters. He is proposed hiring now to manage administrative tasks, and work with vehicles and training. He said the City will also need to start ordering turn -out gear for each fire fighter. Benson asked to confirm that hiring part-time fire fighters is not in conflict with the injunction. Attorney Mattick said he had asked Paul Reuvers , who is representing the City on this issue, to discuss that. Attorney Reuvers said the order is specific as to recruiting. There is no prohibition on hiring. The City is able to hire people who come to the City on their own volition. Benson pointed out that Orono is planning on paying these individuals $20 per hour and Long Lake is paying less. She asked if that would be considered unfair recruiting. Erickson said Long Lake is using a different duty crew models and does not have part-time employees, so the roles are not comparable. Benson said she is not in favor of hiring part-time fire fighters because this venture is costing Orono residents considerably more than it would cost to have a contract with Long Lake and is exposing the City to risk because this program has not been tested by an outside third -party evaluation. Walsh said the City has its own experts and doesn't need to go to third parties. The City has decided to have a Fire Department and needs to fund and staff it. They would be paying the City of Long Lake the same but would be giving it away, he said. Crosby said the decision has been made to go ahead with Orono Fire since Orono is 87 percent of the current department and costs. Benson said it is a significant undertaking and none of the Council or Staff has that kind of expertise without outside review. Johnson moved, Crosby seconded, to approve the conditional job offers to Shea Chwialkowski, Nate Weber and Kayla Kennedy as part-time fire fighters at $20 per hour starting Oct 10, 2023. VOTE: Ayes 4, Nays 1 (Benson). 10. AUTHORIZATION TO HIRE PAID -ON -CALL FIRE FIGHTERS Page 5of10 MINUTES OF THE ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING October 9, 2023 6:00 o'clock p.m. Chief Van Eyll recommended hiring a list of fire fighters who would work as paid -on -call fire fighters for Station 2. He said the candidates are Jeff Krahl, Ryan Kanive, JB Seals, Justin Hinker, Mike Johnsrud, Ben Carlson and Tom Aldrich, all of whom have experience as a firefighter with another department. All have passed Firefighter 1 and 2 and are either EMT or EMR. He is recommending hiring at $16 per hour effective Oct. 10, 2023 initially to perform administrative work with training starting in January. Benson asked the attorney to comment on this action as well related to the injunction. Attorney Reuvers reiterated his previous comments that the order is very specific and there is no prohibition on hiring. Benson asked if all the individuals were currently serving the City of Long Lake Fire. Van Eyll said as far as he knows they are Benson pointed out the pay would be $16 per hour when they are making 15.85 at Long Lake. She asked where the $16 per hour figure came from. Van Eyll said they did a compensation study with other cities and didn't want to be either the highest or the lowest in pay. These fire fighters are able to serve both Long Lake and Orono. Veach pointed out Long Lake currently has four or five fire fighters that serve more than one department in close proximity. Benson said she has the same concern on this agenda item as the previous one. Veach said she wanted to take a moment to thank these charter members of the Orono Fire Department. Johnson moved, Crosby seconded, to approve the conditional job offers to Jeff Krahl, Ryan Kanive, JB Seals, Justin Hinker, Mike Johnsrud, Ben Carlson and Tom Aldrich as paid -on -call fire fighters at $16 per hour starting Oct 10, 2023. VOTE: Ayes 4, Nays 1 (Benson). 18. AUTHORIZATION TO HIRE PAID -ON -CALL FIRE FIGHTER Chief Van Eyll said this action is to hire a paid -on -call fire fighter for response at Station 2 who has gone through the same hiring process. Ben Veach has experience with another department and is a Fire Fighter 1 and 2, he said. Benson asked if Veach should recuse herself from the vote. Attorney Mattick said he had asked Veach to recuse herself from the vote and from participating in any discussion on this item due to a conflict of interest. The proposed hire is her husband and the matter involves employment. Benson said she wanted to state again her concerns about this issue adding it is an unfortunate situation where the optics of fire in the City and the optics of an appointment or a hire like this is not ideal for a City that is engaged in a lawsuit. Crosby moved, Johnson seconded, to approve a conditional job offer to Ben Veach as a paid -on -call fire fighter at $16 per hour starting October 10, 2023. VOTE: Ayes 3, Nays 1 (Benson). Veach abstained. Page 6 of 10 MINUTES OF THE ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING October 9, 2023 6:00 o'clock p.m. 19. AUTHORIZATION TO DIRECT STAFF TO BEGIN PROCESS FOR CREATING A FIRE RELIEF ASSOCIATION The purpose of this action item is to convene fire fighters for the purpose of establishing a Relief Association to oversee fire fighter pensions, Van Eyll said. Veach asked if she had a conflict of interest on this item. Attorney Mattick said there was no personal conflict because this is a Fire Department procedural action. Benson said she could not support this action for reasons stated earlier. Johnson moved, Crosby seconded, to direct staff to begin the process to create a Fire Relief Association. VOTE: Ayes 4, Nays 1 (Benson). Van Eyll said some additional interviews are in process. Johnson congratulated the Chief for bringing in the inaugural group of fire fighters in place. He called it an important step. CITY ATTORNEY REPORT Attorney Mattick had nothing to report at the time, noting there is a closed session at the end of the meeting. CITY ADMINISTRATOR/ENGINEER REPORT Edwards said on the engineering side most major construction projects are wrapping up. The Tonkawa force main was put into operation. At the new public works facility there is a lot of concrete going in including flooring in part of the facility and curbing of the parking lot. They are still on track for April project completion. COUNCIL COMMITTEE REPORTS 20. LONG LAKE FIRE ADVISORY BOARD Crosby apologized for missing the last Council meeting due to a funeral. He said he thought the last Advisory Board meeting had positive momentum for departments working together in the future. A lot of that has been dashed, he said, due to lack of communication and Long Lake not fulfilling its obligations The Orono Fire Department is happening and moving ahead. He is concerned that as the City of Long Lake's biggest client Orono can't get the chief out here to have a conversation with the Council. That is not the future of a working relationship, he said. People are putting egos ahead of the job and that is unfortunate. Veach said again she thought it was a pretty successful meeting. She also went to the Long Lake meeting as she believes personal conversation is the best way to move forward. Their in -person conversations have been fruitful, she said. A request has been made to have another meeting. Page 7 of 10 MINUTES OF THE ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING October 9, 2023 6:00 o'clock p.m. Benson said she is confused why they discussed the Fire Department 2024 budget at a meeting where Crosby was not able to be present because of Veach and Crosby's deep involvement. She asked what would be the reason for another meeting. She said she was trying to understand if the participation of Chief Van Eyll to reduce budget costs to Orono is a condition for approving the fire budget. She asked to quantify what the City of Orono is looking for to approve the budget. Crosby said Orono is paying the majority of the Long Lakes Chief's salary and he should come and talk to them and Orono needs to know what the savings would be if Van Eyll provides services. Veach said this is the reason for another meeting. She does not have conditional terms to approve the budget. If coming to a meeting with a pre-set idea, what's the point, she asked. She said she believes in personal discussions. Benson said her point was that there has to be a tangible and achievable goal going into another meeting to make it worthwhile. She also said it is important that cities not make disparaging remarks about other elected officials and staff of other cities. Crosby said they are here to represent Orono. He said Benson is quick to support a budget for Long Lake but for anything for the Orono Fire Department it is no, no, no. Johnson said he doesn't understand her urgency to approve the budget. They have until the end of the year to get the budget passed and keep talking and communicating, he said. PUBLIC COMMENTS Kim Carswell, 261 Cygnet Place, said she will continue to comment on the City of Orono establishing its own Fire Department until the next election when three Council members will be up for a vote. She said she had four points. The Council has adamantly refused to listen to the citizens of Orono. The benefits of Orono building a Fire Department have not been clearly articulated. They are the bigger City and pay the larger portion. That is accepted. The response times cited without data were disputed by the Long Lake Fire Department with sound data. The costs seem to be more, so she asked what is the true benefit to the citizens of Orono? Mediation sessions did not yield anything as Orono did not go into them constructively as Walsh promised he would, she said, asking how can a City the size of Orono assume such a budget without significant risk? Helen Landgraver, 2570 Thoroughbred Lane, said she was glad she came to this meeting because it was the first meeting where she could actually agree with Crosby. She called out each Council Member individually stating they were elected to represent the citizens of Orono. It is evident after many meetings and continued vocal opposition for forming an Orono Fire Department, most of the Council has not made a compelling case why an independent Orono Fire Department needs to exist. She said she would plead again and again for the Council to actually listen to what the citizenship is saying. She said she appreciates that Walsh seems to have an interest in people not talking over each other. She would like him to apply that standard across the entire Council. Page 8 of 10 MINUTES OF THE ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING October 9, 2023 6:00 o'clock p.m. Brad Erickson, Corcoran, said he and Crosby a few meeting ago had a kafuffle out in front and he almost got arrested. He said Crosby called him a Nazi from the dais here in Orono. He asked if the police present were going to arrest him for expressing his first amendment rights. He asked Crosby if that is what he was doing in Washington, D,C, on January 6. He said Crosby should not even be on the Council because according to the Constitution, anyone who takes part in an insurrection is unfit for office. According to Erickson, there is a town in Tennessee that has Proud Boys showing up to protect council members running for office. He asked if that is what they will come to in Orono, having the Proud Boys here to protect Crosby. He asked who is going to protect the public from Crosby stating he has gone off the tracks and needs to apologize and denounce that kind of stuff, take a step back. Ritche Anderson, 3205 Crystal Bay Road, said it's interesting to be talking about the Fire Department now. The Mayor's predecessors got the first fire stations going and entered into a contract, he said. The contract has now come due. He said he was glad the Council pulled items 9 and 10 off the Consent agenda because this is a monumental night. He said it is important to have the backs of the folks who have signed up to be fire fighters because they have been under a lot pressure and it was not an easy decision. The Clydesdales have left the barn. This is going forward, he said. Anderson said he was making a commitment for $50,000 over the next five years to start the Relief Fund and presented the first check for $10,000. MAYOR/COUNCIL REPORT Veach thanked Anderson for his donation and thanked the new members of the Fire Department and the Chief. Benson was disappointed the two cities were unable to use time in mediation to come to an agreement. She said she would like to hear more about Orono's ISO or insurance rating as the risks here are significant and the plan has not been adequately shared with the residents. Insurance companies do not favor risk and Orono's ISO is undetermined, she said. Crosby also thanked Anderson for his love and commitment to Orono as well as his generosity. Indicating Chief Van Eyll, he said when you volunteer and you give back to your community and you get so much back, it's 10-fold. He said he is excited about the Orono Fire Department because they have a great leader and great personnel joining the department already. He said that will not close the door ever on working with the City of Long Lake. Johnson said there is a misconception that if Council Members have a different opinion from residents then they are not listening. He said he appreciates the regular attendees at Council meetings but doesn't always agree with them. They don't know who all he is talking to, he said. He talks to many, many residents of Orono, not just people who come to meetings each week. He takes his vote seriously and understands what his job is. He said he 100 percent believes in what they are doing with Orono Fire. It's not an easy or popular thing to do. It's difficult and expensive but the right thing for the future. He said it's also important that people don't represent rumors as facts. He was part of the mediation, he said, and anyone who says they didn't go there in an honest effort to find a solution wasn't there. He said people should not say it if they don't know it. On the subject of data, he said they spent a lot of time studying data. If people want to understand more, ask more questions. Their data on response time was honest and based on nationally -recognized methodology, he said. He also thanked Anderson. Having some public Page 9 of 10 MINUTES OF THE ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING October 9, 2023 6:00 o'clock p.m. and some elected officials against the fire fighters moving over to Orono is real and it puts a burden on them, he said. Walsh said he would echo everything Johnson said and won't repeat it. He said this is what vocal support looks like, indicating Anderson. He discussed the Orono Homecoming. Orono is undefeated with six wins. The last home game is this coming Friday night and it's senior night. It was the first ever homecoming parade with the Orono Fire Department. He said he participated with Temple Israel in a ribbon cutting for the redevelopment of Camp Teko, a camp on Lake Minnetonka in Orono that has been serving Jewish youth for 60 years. He said his heart goes out to the people of the Middle East. Coffee with the Mayor will be the third Wednesday instead of the second. 21. CLOSED SESSION Walsh moved, Crosby seconded, to enter into closed session at 8:08 p.m., as permitted by the attorney -client privilege (section 13D.05, subdivision 3 (b)) to discuss litigation strategy regarding the following lawsuits: • The City of Long Lake vs. City of Orono • Jay Nygard vs. City of Orono, Soren Mattick.

Ms. Christine Lusian is the recommended candidate for the position. Christine has 12 years of experience in Municipal administration. She holds a master degree in Public Administration and is a Minnesota Certified Municipal Clerk. 5. Recommended Compensation. I recommend Christine Lusian be appointed as the Orono City Clerk with an effective start date of November 13, 2023. a. Salary.

Edwards Agenda Consent Agenda City Administrator/City Engineer Section: 1. Purpose. The purpose of the council item is to gain council approval for the job description update and adjust the compensation for the Parks and Facilities Superintendent position. 2. Background. In the fall of 2022 the Parks Supt was assigned responsibility for overseeing the City's facilities. This increase in responsibility resulted in a job description update and a rescoring of the position. As a result staff prepared and updated job description and title. The job description was then reviewed and scored by the Finance Director and City Administrator. In November of 2022 council approved the move of the position from Grade 12 to Grade 13. However, the corresponding step change from Grade 12 step 4 to Grade 13 Step 2 only resulted in a $85/ year increase in compensation. Adjusting the Step from 3-4 will result in a 3% raise which is more inline with the intent of the previous action. Adjusting the vacation accrual will bring Josh in line with others with his level of experience and responsibility. 3. Proposed Changes. The following table summarizes the proposed changes. Position Employee Current Grade and Step Proposed Grade and Step Vacation Rate Vacation Rate Parks and Facilities Josh Lemons Grade 13, Step 3 Grade 13, Step 4 Superintendent 80 hrs per year 120 hrs per year 4.

MOTION PASSES. V. Treasurer's Report Chalupsky presented the estimated receipts and expenses for 2022 and 2023 (see attached "2024 Pro- posed Budget, September 25, 2023"). The budget shows a carryover from year to year that we are try- ing to maintain to allow us to treat for any new invasives, such as Starry Stonewort, if this were to occur in the future. We don't want to get caught without sufficient funds to treat. In 2022 we received a DNR grant, but not in 2023. DNR grants are becoming harder to get, but we will continue applying for them. Two chemicals were used: Diquot and ProcellaCor to treat Curlyleaf Pondweed (CLP) and Eurasian wa- termilfoil (milfoil). Kieper stated that another reason we need reserves is that we usually must pay for treatments before each year's tax receipts arrive. Half of this year's receipts arrived in August after the season's expenses were paid, and half will arrive between December and February of next year. There 10/1/2023 Attachment A - CB LID Minutes is no way for the LID to raise funds other than tax receipts and occasional grants, so we must have suffi- cient funds on hand at the beginning of each treatment season. A question was raised regarding why the expenses doubled from 2021 to 2022. Kieper stated that the biggest factor is the use of ProcellaCor, which is a selective herbicide that targets milfoil, vs. Diquot, which is a broad spectrum herbicide. ProcellaCor is roughly 10 times more expensive than Diquot per unit of treatment. Nielsen stated that we save some money by using a mixture of Diquot and Procel- laCor vs. in the past using just ProcellaCor alone. The cost of all chemicals also has gone up. In addi- tion, the acreage treated varies from year to year. An audience member questioned whether we have the LID's funds in an interest bearing account. Kie- per stated no, but we will look into that with the bank. VI. Unfinished Business None VII. New Business A. 2023 Aquatic Plant Survey of Carman Bay Kieper reviewed the results of the LID treatments this year. A Point Intercept Survey done on Au- gust 10' detailed how much Eurasian Watermilfoil (milfoil) and Curlyleaf Pondweed (CLP) was left after treatments. (This report, "2023 Aquatic Plant Survey: Carmans Bay..." is available on the CBLID website.) The survey took 167 samples in the bay to observe the abundance and density of all weeds. The DNR goal, and ours, is to have less than 20% occurrence of CLP and milfoil, the only plants we can treat for, at the time of the survey. CLP dies off naturally by mid -summer, so very little of it was found. Milfoil had an occurrence of 18%, meeting our goal of under 20% and a density of 0.2%, almost zero, with only small fragments found. This means we had a successful treatment year. Prior to treatment, the DNR must approve our plan for areas to be treated. Only areas with a high density of invasives will be approved. There were areas not treated because the density of the milfoil was too low, and they showed up in the Aquatic Plant Survey. Nielsen said that before treatments began 15 to 20 years ago, the density of milfoil was near the max on a scale of 0-4. To be at 0.2% is a huge improvement. Invasives will not be eradicated. There was discussion about the invasive species we can and do treat for, milfoil and CLP, and the native plants we cannot treat for. We cannot imagine a future in which the DNR would allow us to target native plants. The last two years the lake level has been low and the water warm, which sup- ports both invasive and native weed growth. We recognize that Bay residents are currently seeing a lot of weeds, but the weeds people are now seeing (in September) are overwhelmingly native plant species that the LID is not allowed to treat. Last fall the Lake Minnetonka Association (LMA) conducted an inspection looking for Starry Stonewort at 4 - 5 launch ramps in Lake Minnetonka. They fortunately found no Starry Stonewort. LMA now feels they need to inspect for Starry Stonewort annually. Once it is established it is al- most impossible to eradicate, and very expensive to control. 2 10/1/2023 Attachment A - CB LID Minutes B. Proposed Budget and Tax Levy for 2024 The Carman Bay property owners present at the meeting vote to approve of the Budget and Tax Levy. 1. Proposed Budget for 2024 At each Annual Meeting there is a budget proposed and ideally approved for the following year to meet the financial requirements of the CBLID. The Board recommends setting the forecasted 2024 Aquatic Invasive Species (AIS) treatment expenses at $29,700 (see attached "2024 Pro- posed Budget, September 25, 2023"). This is based on our applicator's (PLM) forecast for treating 33 acres (25 acres CLP and 8 milfoil). 2024's estimated treatment acreage, 33, is con- sistent with the past 4 years (27-37 combined acres). ProcellaCor cost per unit ($78) is un- changed from 2023. Diquat increased from $99 to $120 per unit. We anticipate the cost of Pro- cellaCor will increase for the 2025 season. 2. Proposed Tax Levy for 2024 At each Annual Meeting there is also a tax levy proposed and ideally approved sufficient to meet the budget requirements, including the proposed distribution of such levy among the prop- erty owners. The Board recommends a 2024 levy in an amount to substantially replace the 2024 estimated AIS treatment expenses of $27,900. Maintaining increments of $50 per prop- erty, a $250 levy for tax year 2024 x 112 properties = $28,000. We do not feel it is advisable to plan on receipt of intergovernmental grant money or substantially alter working funds from the target of $70,000+/-. Chalupsky put forward a "Motion to approve, by voice with one vote per property, the budget as presented for the 2024 fiscal year (dated September 25, 2023), based on the estimated AIS project expenses of $29,700; and approve a special assessment levy of $28.000 net to be shared equally as $250 for each of the 112 property owners." 2nd by Owen.

Three of the four incum- bents, Mark Kieper, Ted Chalupsky and Dave Owen have agreed to run again for another 2 years. Chalupsky put forward a "Motion to nominate Mark Kieper, Ted Chalupsky and Dave Owen to the three open Board seats and elect, by voice with one vote per property, to 2-year terms to expire at the 2025 Annual Meeting." 2' by Kennefick.

Section 3. LEASE PAYMENTS. From the Lease Commencement Date, Lessee agrees to pay to Lessor or its assigns the Lease Payments, including the principal and interest portions, equal to the amounts specified in the related Schedule, and a portion of each Lease Payment is paid as and represents the payment of interest as set forth therein. Unless otherwise stated, the interest component under each Schedule shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months, from the Lease Commencement Date at the interest rate or rates set forth in each respective Schedule. The Lease Payments will be payable, exclusively from moneys legally available therefor, in lawful currency of the United States, without notice or demand at the designated office of Lessor (or such other place as Lessor or its assignee may from time to time designate in writing). Lease Payments will commence on the first Lease Payment date, which Lessor is authorized to designate and which is set forth in the related Schedule, and thereafter on the dates set forth therein. All of Lessee's obligations under this Agreement and each Lease shall constitute a current expense of Lessee for the Fiscal Year in which the obligation is due and shall not constitute an indebtedness of Lessee within the constitution and laws of the State, nor shall anything contained herein or therein constitute a pledge of any taxes, funds or other moneys (other than moneys lawfully appropriated from time to time by or for the benefit of Lessee for this Agreement and the Net Proceeds of the Equipment) or the full faith and credit of Lessee. Except as specifically provided in Section 5 hereof, the Lease Payments will be absolute and unconditional in all events and will not be subject to any abatement, diminution, deduction, set-off, defense, counterclaim, or recoupment for any reason whatsoever, including without limitation, any failure of the Equipment to be delivered or installed, any defects, malfunctions, breakdowns, or infirmities in the Equipment or any accident, condemnation, or unforeseen circumstances. Lessee reasonably believes that funds can be obtained sufficient to make all Lease Payments during the related Lease Term and hereby covenants that it will do all things lawfully within its power, including (without limitation) the exhaustion of all administrative remedies, in order to obtain, maintain and properly request and pursue funds from which the Lease Payments may be made, including making provisions for such payments to the extent necessary in each budget submitted for the purpose of obtaining funds, using its bona fide best efforts to have such portion of the budget approved. It is Lessee's intent to continue each Lease hereunder for its entire Lease Term and to pay all Lease Payments relating thereto if funds are legally available therefor and in that regard Lessee represents that the use of Equipment is essential to its proper, efficient and economic operation. If a Lease Payment or any other amount due under a Lease is eleven (11) days or more late, then Lessee, at Lessor's option and without further demand or notice, will be assessed a late charge equal to 5% of said late payment, but not to exceed the maximum amount allowed by law, and Lessee shall be obligated to pay the same immediately upon receipt of Lessor's written invoice therefor; provided, that this provision shall not be applicable to the extent that the application thereof would affect the validity of this Agreement. PAYMENT DATES. If the due date of any payment under any Schedule shall be a day that is not a Business Day, the due date shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day; provided, however, that if such next succeeding Business Day occurs in the following calendar month, then the due date shall be the immediately preceding Business Day. "Business Day" means any day other than a Saturday, a Sunday, or other day on which Lessor is required to be closed. Section 4. ACQUISITION, DELIVERY AND ACCEPTANCE. 4.1 Lessee shall advise Lessor of its desire to lease Equipment, the Equipment cost, the Manufacturer, the expected delivery date and the desired lease terms for such Equipment. By execution hereof, Lessor has made no commitment to lease any Equipment to Lessee. Nothing herein shall obligate Lessor to lease any Equipment to Lessee until Lessor has executed a Schedule relating thereto. If Lessor, in its sole discretion, determines that the proposed Equipment may be subject to a Lease hereunder, Lessor shall furnish to Lessee a proposed Schedule relating to the Equipment completed insofar as possible. Lessee shall order the Equipment from the appropriate Manufacturer or Manufacturers; however, in no event, shall Lessee enter into any contract or issue a purchase order which references Lessor. Lessor shall have no obligation to make any payment, or reimburse Lessee for any payment, made to any Manufacturer for any Equipment (or if applicable, consent to a disbursement by an escrow agent) until five (5) Business Days after Lessor has received all of the following in form and substance satisfactory to Lessor: (a) a Schedule executed by Lessor and Lessee; (b) an Acceptance Certificate (however, if Lessor and Lessee agree to utilize an Escrow Agreement as provided for herein, an Acceptance Certificate is not required until portions of the Equipment which are operationally complete or functionally independent are delivered and accepted, or all of the Equipment is delivered and accepted); (c) a resolution, ordinance or other official action has been taken by or on behalf of Lessee to authorize the acquisition of the Equipment on the terms provided in the Schedule and evidence thereof has been provided to Lessor; (d) evidence of insurance with respect to the Equipment in compliance with the terms of this Agreement; (e) Manufacturer invoices and/or bills of sale relating to the Equipment and if such invoices have been paid by Lessee, evidence of payment thereof and, if applicable, evidence of official intent to reimburse such payment as required by the Regulations promulgated under the Code; (f) as applicable, financing statements showing Lessee as debtor and/or the original certificate of title or Manufacturer's certificate of origin and title application, if any, of the Equipment that is subject to certificate of title laws showing Lessor as sole lienholder; (g) a completed and executed Form 8038-G or -GC or evidence of filing thereof with the United States Secretary of Treasury; (h) an Opinion of Counsel; and (i) any other documents or items required by Lessor. 4.2 Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions regarding the acquisition of the Equipment, if, upon agreement by Lessor and Lessee as to any Equipment to be acquired and leased by Lessee under this Agreement, Lessor and Lessee enter into an Escrow Agreement, then (a) Lessor and Lessee shall immediately complete and execute a Schedule relating to the Equipment; (b) the amount deposited by Lessor into the Escrow Account shall be repaid by the Lease Payments due under the related Lease; and (c) the Lease Payments relating to the Equipment shall have an aggregate principal component equal to the amount of Lessor's deposit into the Escrow Account and shall be due and payable as provided in the related Schedule commencing upon the deposit of funds by Lessor into the Escrow Account. Lessee acknowledges and agrees that no disbursements shall be made from an Escrow Account except for portions of the Equipment which are operationally complete and functionally independent and which may be utilized by Lessee without regard to whether the balance of the Equipment is delivered and accepted. 4.3 Following Lessor's receipt of the foregoing documents, Lessee will cause the Equipment to be delivered to Lessee at the Equipment Location. Lessee will pay all transportation and other costs, if any, incurred in connection with the delivery and acceptance of the Equipment. After delivery of the Equipment, and subject to the Equipment being operational after reasonable inspection and testing of the Equipment by Lessee, Lessee will accept the Equipment by executing and delivering to Lessor an Acceptance Certificate. Lessor hereby leases to Lessee all Equipment made subject to a Schedule and Acceptance Certificate, and Lessee hereby leases from Lessor such Equipment, upon the terms set forth in this Agreement and in the related Schedule and an Acceptance Certificate. During the Lease Term, Lessor covenants to provide Lessee with quiet use and enjoyment of the Equipment, and Lessee shall peaceably and quietly have, hold and enjoy the Equipment, without suit, trouble or hindrance from Lessor, except as expressly set forth in this Agreement. Section 5. NON -RENEWAL AND NON -APPROPRIATION OF FUNDS. 5.1 For each Lease, Lessee represents and warrants that the necessary funds have been appropriated to make the Lease Payments, and meet its other obligations, with regards to the Equipment for the duration of Lessee's Initial Fiscal Period, and that such funds have not been expended for other purposes, and that all funds appropriated for such Lease will be used for no other purpose than to pay Lease Payments and other amounts due thereunder. With regards to appropriation for Lease Payments after the Initial Fiscal Period, parties hereto acknowledge that such appropriation is a governmental function which Lessee cannot contractually commit itself in advance to perform, and this Agreement does not constitute such a commitment. 5.2 If Lessee fails to renew the Lease Term of a Lease as provided in Subsection 2.1 above, then a "Non -Renewal Event" shall be deemed to have occurred. If sufficient funds are not appropriated, budgeted, or otherwise available by any means whatsoever in any Fiscal Year subsequent to the Initial Fiscal Period for Lease Payments due under a Lease, then a "Non -Appropriation Event" shall be deemed to have occurred. If a Non -Appropriation Event occurs or if a Non -Renewal Event occurs, then all affected Leases, and Lessee's interest in all Equipment subject to the affected Leases, shall terminate, in whole, but not in part, on the last day of the Lease Term for a Non -Renewal Event or the last day of the Fiscal Year for which appropriations were received for a Non -Appropriation Event, as the case may be (the "Return Date"). Lessee may effect such termination by providing a written notice of termination to Lessor or the affected assignee, and by paying any Lease Payments and other amounts which are due and payable hereunder and which have not been paid at or before the end of the Fiscal Year. Lessee shall endeavor to give notice of such termination not less than sixty (60) days prior to the end of the Fiscal Year for which appropriations were made, and shall notify Lessor or the affected assignee of any anticipated termination. Failure to provide said written notice of termination shall not constitute an Event of Default hereunder. Unless Lessor makes other arrangements with Lessee in writing pursuant to Subsection 5.3 hereof, within ten (10) days of the Return Date, Lessee shall return to Lessor all, but not less than all, of the Equipment covered by the affected Lease, at Lessee's sole expense, in accordance with Subsection 5.3 hereof and the affected Lease shall terminate on the Return Date without penalty to Lessee. 5.3 In the event of a termination of a Lease following a Non -Appropriation Event or a Non -Renewal Event, or any other termination of a Lease prior to the payment of all Lease Payments or the applicable Concluding Payment, on the Return Date (a) Lessor may enter upon Lessee's premises where the Equipment is kept and disable the Equipment to prevent its further use by Lessee and (b) Lessee shall promptly, but in any event within ten (10) days after such termination, at its own cost and expense: (i) perform any testing and repairs required to place the Equipment in the condition required by Section 11 hereof; (ii) if deinstallation, disassembly or crating is required, cause such tasks to be performed by an authorized Manufacturer's representative or such other service person as is satisfactory to Lessor; and (iii) peaceably surrender possession of all of the Equipment and execute all documents required to transfer Lessee's interest in all of the Equipment to Lessor or its assignee without any Liens (other than Liens in favor of Lessor) on the date of such termination, packed for shipment in accordance with Manufacturer specifications and freight prepaid and insured to any location in the continental United States designated by Lessor at the expense of Lessee. If Lessee fails to deliver all of the Equipment in the manner designated by this Subsection 5.3, then Lessor will have all legal and equitable rights and remedies to take possession of the Equipment, and charge to Lessee the costs of such repossession. With regard to a termination following a Non -Appropriation Event or a Non -Renewal Event, if Lessee has not complied with such instructions, the termination shall nevertheless be effective, but Lessee shall be responsible for the Lease Payments and other amounts payable under the affected Lease for which funds have been appropriated that would thereafter come due if the Lease had not been terminated and which are attributable to the number of days after which Lessee fails to comply with Lessor's or the related assign's instructions and for any other loss suffered by Lessor or the related assignee as a result of Lessee's failure to act as required; accordingly, Lessee agrees that the failure to promptly return the Equipment after a Non - Renewal Event or after Non -Appropriation as provided for in Section 5 hereof would be inequitable to Lessor, and as a result, Lessee agrees to pay month -to -month rent at the rate set forth in the affected Lease for each month or part thereof that Lessee fails to return the Equipment under Subsections 5.2 and 5.3, provided that any and all such amounts are subject to appropriation by Lessee. To the extent that there is a Non -Renewal Event and/or a Non -Appropriation and all Equipment under the affected Lease is not returned by Lessee to Lessor by the Return Date, then this Section 5.3 shall survive termination of a Lease as this Subsection is applicable to such Lease. Section 6. LIMITATION ON WARRANTIES. Lessee acknowledges and agrees that the Equipment is of a size, design and capacity selected by Lessee, that Lessor is neither a Manufacturer nor a vendor of such Equipment, that Lessor is not responsible for the selection, ordering or suitability of the Equipment, the acceptance of the order submitted, or any delay or failure to manufacture, deliver, or install the Equipment by the Manufacturer, including its sales representative, that Lessee is solely responsible for the selection, use, maintenance, operation and storage of the Equipment, and that LESSEE SELECTED THE EQUIPMENT WITHOUT ASSISTANCE OF LESSOR, ITS AGENTS OR EMPLOYEES, AND LESSOR HAS NOT MADE, AND DOES NOT HEREBY MAKE, ANY REPRESENTATION, WARRANTY OR COVENANT, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WITH RESPECT TO THE MERCHANTABILITY, CONDITION, QUALITY, DURABILITY, VALUE, DESIGN, OPERATION, FITNESS FOR USE, OR SUITABILITY OF THE EQUIPMENT IN ANY RESPECT WHATSOEVER OR IN CONNECTION WITH OR FOR THE PURPOSES AND USES OF LESSEE, OR ANY OTHER REPRESENTATION, WARRANTY, OR COVENANT OF ANY KIND OR CHARACTER, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WITH RESPECT THERETO AND LESSOR SHALL NOT BE OBLIGATED OR LIABLE FOR ACTUAL, INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR OTHER DAMAGES TO LESSEE OR ANY OTHER PERSON OR ENTITY ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR THE USE OR PERFORMANCE OF THE EQUIPMENT AND THE MAINTENANCE THEREOF. During the Lease Term, so long as no Event of Default has occurred hereunder and is continuing, Lessor has no obligation to enforce, and hereby assigns to Lessee, and irrevocably appoints Lessee its agent and 4 attorney -in -fact to assert against Manufacturer whatever claims and rights arising out of, its interest, if any, in all Manufacturer's warranties, guarantees, and patent indemnity protections, express or implied, issued on or applicable to the Equipment, and Lessor authorizes Lessee to obtain the customary services furnished in connection with such warranties at Lessee's expense. Lessee's sole remedy for the breach of such warranties shall be against the Manufacturer (or, to the extent applicable, other party responsible for assembling, contacting, or transporting the Equipment, whether directly or indirectly), and not against Lessor, nor shall such matter have any effect whatsoever on the rights and obligations of Lessor with respect to this Agreement, including the right to receive full and timely payments hereunder. Section 7. FEDERAL TAX REPRESENTATIONS AND COVENANTS. At the time of Lessee's execution and delivery of a Schedule and related Lease documents, Lessee represents, covenants, and warrants to Lessor (all such representations and warranties being continuing in nature and surviving the termination of any Lease) that: (a) Lessee will do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep this Agreement and each Lease in full force and effect; (b) Lessee is a state or political subdivision as such terms are used in Section 103 of the Code; (c) Lessee will ensure, by pursuing all legal affirmative actions or by refraining from acting, and causing its officers, employees, and agents to take all legal affirmative actions to ensure, that the interest portion of the Lease Payments is not included in the gross income of the recipient for federal income tax purposes and Lessee will take such other actions as may be necessary so that this Agreement and each Lease will not constitute obligations so that the interest on which is subject to federal income taxation as "arbitrage bonds" under Sections 103(b)(2) and 148 of the Code and the Regulations; (d) no portion of the principal or interest payment of any Lease is directly or indirectly (i) secured by any interest in property used or to be used for a private business purpose or by payments in respect of such property, or (ii) derived or to be derived from payments (whether or not to Lessee) in respect of property or borrowed money used or to be used for a private business purpose; (e) Lessee will execute all informational filings required under the Code so as to preserve the tax-exempt qualification of Lessee's obligations to Lessor and its assigns under the Lease, and in the event that Lessee's failure or refusal to execute the required information filings results in or would result in the inability to exclude from gross income for federal tax purposes the interest paid on Lessee's obligations under the Lease to Lessor or its assigns, then Lessor may demand that Lessee cure the loss by a subsequent riling and Lessee shall pay to Lessor an amount equal to the loss occasioned by Lessor's inability to exclude the interest payable under this Agreement and any Leases hereunder from gross income for Federal income tax purposes; (f) Lessor's yield with respect to each Lease is dependent upon the full amount of each interest component of each Lease Payment being excluded from Lessor's income pursuant to the Code, and accordingly, if at any time, as a result of a determination that Lessee has breached a representation or covenant contained herein or a component of any Lease Payment is, in the opinion of counsel for Lessor, subject to or affected by any income, preference, excess profits, minimum or other federal tax, Lessee shall pay, as additional interest, an amount which is necessary to provide to Lessor the same net income as Lessor would have received but for such event, which amount shall be calculated by Lessor and be binding upon Lessee in the absence of manifest error; (g) to the best of Lessee's knowledge, information and belief: (i) the Equipment has been ordered or is expected to be ordered and is expected to be delivered, and the Manufacturer has been fully paid on the Lease Commencement Date, and the estimated total cost of the Equipment will not be less than the total principal amount of the Lease Payments, (ii) Lessee has not created or established, and does not expect to create or establish, any sinking fund, reserve fund or other similar fund that is reasonably expected to be used to pay the Lease Payments or that may be used solely to prevent a default in the payment of the Lease Payments, and (iii) the Equipment has not been and is not expected to be sold or otherwise disposed of by Lessee, either in whole or in part, prior to the last maturity of the Lease Payments; and (h) Lessee will have the sole use and possession of the Equipment, which Lessee shall use only for the purpose of performing essential governmental uses and public functions consistent with the permissible scope of Lessee's authority, and further, the Equipment shall not be used in any trade or business carried on by any person other than a governmental unit. Section 8. TITLE. Upon acceptance of the Equipment by Lessee under a Lease and for the Lease Term, title to the Equipment will vest in Lessee, subject to the rights of the Lessor under this Agreement, and Lessee shall take all actions necessary to vest such title and ownership in Lessee. For federal income tax purposes, and State ad valorem tax purposes and any other purpose for which Taxes are levied (other than those based on the net income of Lessor), and for purposes of the Uniform Commercial Code, Lessor and Lessee shall treat any Lease as a conditional sales agreement, and accordingly, full unencumbered title and ownership (including legal and equitable title, as well as beneficial enjoyment, possession, and use) to the Equipment shall pass to Lessee without Lessor having any further or continuing rights in such Equipment without any further act or notice on its part, upon the payment in full of all Lease Payments and other payments required under such Lease for the Lease Term by the Lessee, as they shall have come due in accordance with the applicable Schedule, so long as there shall be no Event of Default in existence at such time; and further, upon payment in full of all such Lease Payments and other amounts due and payable under a Lease, Lessee shall be deemed to have exercised its option to purchase the Equipment including all additions, modifications, repairs, replacements, and substitutions to such Equipment. If, however, prior to the payment of all such Lease Payments and other amounts due and payable under a Lease, full unencumbered title and ownership (including legal and equitable title, as well as beneficial enjoyment, possession, and use) to the Equipment shall immediately, permanently, and unconditionally, without any action by Lessee, reside, rest, settle, vest with, and to the extent applicable, pass or transfer to Lessor, and Lessee will immediately surrender possession of the Equipment to Lessor (subject to any express rights or grace periods set forth in this Agreement), upon any of the following events: (a) in the event of termination of a Lease by Lessee pursuant to Subsection 2.1 or Section 5 hereof; (b) upon the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder, and as long as such Event of Default is continuing; or (c) in the event that the purchase option has not been exercised prior to the Lease termination date. It is the intent of the parties hereto that any such residing, resting, settling, vesting, passing, or transferring of title and ownership to Lessor or its assignees pursuant to this Section will occur automatically without the necessity of any bill of sale, certificate of title, or other instrument of conveyance. Lessee will, nevertheless, execute and deliver any such documents and instruments as Lessor may request to evidence such residing, resting, settling, vesting, passing, or transferring of full and unencumbered title and ownership (including legal and equitable title, as well as beneficial enjoyment, possession, and use) to Lessor or its assignees and termination of Lessee's interest in the Equipment, and Lessee shall have no further interest in such Equipment. For liability, insurance, and to the extent title to the Equipment must be registered such as in connection with vehicles, Lessee owns the Equipment and Lessor does not own the Equipment, and by this Agreement, each Lease is intended to finance the acquisition of the Equipment for Lessee. Lessee represents, warrants, and covenants that Lessor does not operate, control, or have possession of the Equipment and has no control over Lessee or Lessee's operation, use, storage, or maintenance of the Equipment. In the event of the occurrence of one or more of the events described in (a), (b), or (c) of the preceding paragraph of this Section and for the limited purpose of providing for the residing, resting, settling, vesting, passing, or transferring of full unencumbered title and ownership (including legal and equitable title, as well as beneficial enjoyment, possession, and use) of the Equipment to Lessor, Lessee irrevocably designates, makes, constitutes, and appoints Lessor and its assignees as Lessee's true and lawful attorney (and agent) in fact with power, at such time of termination or times thereafter as Lessor in its sole and absolute discretion may determine, in Lessee's or Lessor's or such assignee's name, to endorse the name of Lessee upon any bill of sale, document, instrument, invoice, freight bill, bill of lading or similar document relating to the Equipment. Section 9. SECURITY INTEREST. In order to secure all of Lessee's obligations hereunder and all of the Leases, and to the extent permitted by law, Lessee hereby (a) grants to Lessor a continuing, first priority security interest in all of the Equipment and in all additions, attachments, accessions, and substitutions thereto, and in any proceeds therefrom, (b) agrees that a carbon, photographic or other reproduction of this Agreement and each Lease may be filed as a financing statement evidencing such security interest, and (c) agrees to execute and, to the extent applicable, deliver all financing statements, certificates of title, and other instruments necessary or appropriate to evidence such security interest. Lessee shall deliver or cause to be delivered to Lessor the original certificates of title relating to all vehicular Equipment. If requested by Lessor, Lessee shall conspicuously mark the Equipment with appropriate lettering, labels or tags, and maintain such markings during the Lease Term, so as clearly to disclose Lessor's security interest in the Equipment. Upon termination of a Lease with respect to each Equipment through exercise of Lessee's option pursuant to Subsection 17.1 or through payment by Lessee of all Lease Payments and other amounts relating thereto, Lessor's security interests in such Equipment shall terminate, and Lessor shall execute and deliver to Lessee such documents as Lessee may reasonably request to evidence the termination of Lessor's security interest in such Equipment. Lessee hereby designates Lessor and its assigns as its agents and attorneys -in -fact for the purpose of filing financing statements and amendments thereto, and executing title applications and certificates of title and related documents to perfect the security interest granted by Lessee hereunder. Lessee shall not encumber or otherwise permit a Lien to be placed on or against the Equipment, except as otherwise provided under this Section. To the extent that State law does not permit Lessee to grant a security interest in the Equipment, Lessee acknowledges its obligation to deliver the Equipment and/or its obligation to make the Equipment available to Lessor (or its assignees) in accordance with the Section 5 hereof, and hereby covenants that in providing for the return of Equipment pursuant to Section 5 hereto, there shall not be any Liens or other encumbrances attached to such Equipment, as provided for in Section 14 hereof. Section 10. PERSONAL PROPERTY. The Equipment is and will remain personal property and will not be deemed to be affixed to or a part of the real estate on which it may be situated, notwithstanding that the Equipment or any part thereof may be or hereafter become in any manner physically affixed or attached to real estate or any building thereon. If requested by Lessor, Lessee will, at Lessee's cost and expense, furnish a landlord or mortgagee waiver with respect to the Equipment from any party having (or claiming to have) an interest in any such real estate or building. Section 11. USE AND REPAIRS. Lessee shall exercise due care in the installation, use, operation and maintenance of the Equipment, and shall not install, use, operate or maintain the Equipment improperly, carelessly or for a purpose or in a manner contrary to that contemplated by this Agreement or the Manufacturer. Lessee shall comply with all laws, ordinances, insurance policies and regulations relating to, any applicable prevailing industry standards and Manufacturer's specifications for, and will pay all cost, claims, damages, fees and charges arising out of, its possession, use or maintenance of the Equipment. Lessee shall obtain all permits and licenses necessary for the installation, operation, possession, and use of the Equipment. At Lessee's cost and expense, Lessee shall maintain the Equipment in good repair and working order, and shall promptly provide all parts, upgrades, modifications, environments and software required or recommended now and hereafter by the Manufacturer. Lessor shall have no responsibility to, and Lessee will, at its expense and expeditiously, keep the Equipment in good repair, and in a condition suitable for certification by the Manufacturer thereof (if certification is available), and furnish all parts, mechanisms and devices required therefor, which must be free and clear of all Liens (other than Liens in favor of Lessor) and of a value and utility at least equal to the parts being replaced (assuming that such replaced 6 parts and accessories were otherwise in good working order and repair), and which shall be deemed to be incorporated immediately into and to constitute an integral portion of the Equipment and, as such, shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement. If the Equipment is such as is customarily covered by a maintenance agreement, Lessee will furnish Lessor with a maintenance agreement with a party satisfactory to Lessor. Lessee shall not use any item of Equipment to haul, convey, store, treat, transport or dispose of any "hazardous substances" or "hazardous waste" as such terms are defined in any the Environmental Laws. Lessee agrees that if Lessee is required to deliver any item of Equipment to Lessor or its agent, the Equipment shall be delivered free of any substances which are regulated by or form a basis for liability under any Environmental Law. Lessee shall comply with all licenses and copyright requirements of any software used in connection with the Equipment. Section 12. ALTERATIONS. Without the prior written consent of Lessor, Lessee shall not make any other modifications, additions or improvements to the Equipment unless such modifications are Permitted Modifications or are required by applicable law or Manufacturer requirements. Lessee also grants Lessor a right of first refusal as to the lease of any Permitted Modifications. If requested by Lessor, Lessee shall remove all Permitted Modifications upon return of the Equipment without damage to the Equipment and so as to cause the Equipment to comply with all applicable laws and with all Manufacturer requirements then in effect. All Permitted Modifications and any other accessories attached to the Equipment not so removed upon return of the Equipment shall be deemed the sole property of Lessor. Section 13. LOCATION AND INSPECTION. The Equipment will not be removed from, or if the Equipment consists of rolling stock, its permanent base will not be changed from the Equipment Location without Lessor's prior written consent, which will not be unreasonably withheld. Lessor will be entitled to enter upon the Equipment Location or elsewhere at all reasonable times to inspect the Equipment or observe its use and operation, and Lessor and its agents shall have such rights of access to the Equipment as may be reasonably necessary to cause the proper maintenance of the Equipment in the event of failure by Lessee to perform its obligations hereunder. Notwithstanding its designation as Lessor, during the applicable Lease Term, equitable title to the Equipment is vested with Lessee along with beneficial enjoyment, possession, and use of the Equipment, all subject to Lessor's rights set forth in this Agreement (including, without limitation, Section 5 hereof), and Lessor is merely financing the acquisition thereof for Lessee. Lessor does not operate, control or have possession of the Equipment and has no control over Lessee or Lessee's operation, use, storage or maintenance of the Equipment. Section 14. LIENS AND TAXES. At its expense, Lessee shall keep the Equipment free and clear of all Liens except those created under this Agreement. Lessee shall reimburse Lessor for any expenses incurred by Lessor to discharge or remove any Lien. The parties hereto contemplate that the Equipment, the Leases and the Lease Payments will be exempt from all Taxes presently assessed and levied with respect thereto. In the event that any Equipment, or its ownership, leasing, rental, sale, purchase, possession or use, or any Lease, or any Lease Payments or any other payments due under any Lease is found to be subject to taxation in any form, Lessee shall pay when due, all such Taxes which may now or hereafter be imposed or assessed, provided that with respect to special assessments or governmental charges that may lawfully be paid in installments over a period of years, Lessee shall be obligated to pay only such installments as are required to be paid during the Lease Term as and when the same become due. Notwithstanding this obligation, Lessee shall not be required to pay Taxes on or measured by the income of Lessor, its successors or assigns, unless such Tax is made in lieu of or as a substitute for any Tax which is an obligation of Lessee under this Section 14. If Lessee fails to pay any such Taxes when due, Lessor shall have the right, but shall not be obligated, to pay said Taxes, and should Lessor choose to exercise this right, Lessee shall reimburse Lessor in the amount of such Taxes paid by Lessor, plus interest at the Default Interest Rate. Section 15. RISK OF LOSS. 15.1 Lessee hereby assumes the entire risk of loss and damage to the Equipment from every cause whatsoever (notwithstanding the existence of any insurance on the Equipment in favor of Lessor) and no loss of or damage to any Equipment shall relieve Lessee from the obligation to make any Lease Payments or to perform any other obligation under any Lease. If any unit of Equipment is damaged, Lessee shall place such Equipment in good repair and working order to the satisfaction of Lessor. If Lessor, in its sole discretion, determines that an Event of Loss has occurred, then Lessee shall (at Lessor's option): (a) at Lessee's expense, replace the same with equipment in good repair, having substantially similar specifications, and of equal or greater value to the Equipment immediately prior to the Event of Loss, such replacement Equipment to be subject to Lessor's approval, whereupon the replacement Equipment shall be substituted in the applicable Lease and the other related documents by appropriate endorsement or amendment; or (b) on the next Lease Payment date, pay Lessor: (i) all amounts then owed by Lessee to Lessor under such Lease, including the Lease Payment due on such date; and (ii) an amount equal to the applicable Concluding Payment set forth in the related Schedule. In the event Lessee is obligated to make such payment with respect to less than all of the Equipment, Lessor will provide Lessee with the pro rata amount of the Lease Payment and Concluding Payment to be made by Lessee with respect to the Equipment which has suffered the Event of Loss. If, prior to the termination of the Lease Term, permanent or temporary use of any part of the Equipment shall be taken under the exercise of the power of eminent domain, Lessee shall cause the net proceeds of any condemnation award to be applied (at Lessor's option) toward: (A) the replacement, restoration or repair of such Equipment; or (B) satisfaction of Lessee's obligations under clause (b) of the immediately preceding sentence. If the Net Proceeds are insufficient to pay in full the cost of any repair, restoration, or replacement of such Equipment, then Lessee shall complete the work and pay any costs in excess of the amount of the Net Proceeds, and Lessee shall not be entitled to any reimbursements from Lessor nor any diminution of the Lease Payments. 15.2 To the extent not prohibited by State law, Lessee shall bear the risk of loss for, shall pay directly, and shall defend against any and all claims, liabilities, proceedings, actions, expenses (including reasonable attorney's fees), damages or losses arising under or related to any Equipment, including, but not limited to, the possession, ownership, lease, use, or operation thereof. These obligations of Lessee shall survive any expiration or termination of any Lease. Lessee's obligations under this Subsection 15.2 shall survive the expiration, cancellation, or termination of any Lease. Lessee shall not bear the risk of loss of, nor pay for, any claims, liabilities, proceedings, actions, expenses (including attorney's fees), damages or losses which arise directly from events occurring after any Equipment has been returned by Lessee to Lessor in accordance with the terms of the applicable Lease or which arise directly from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Lessor. Section 16. INSURANCE. 16.1 Lessee shall maintain at all times on the Equipment, at Lessee's expense, property damage and physical damage insurance on the Equipment in such amounts, against such risk and by such insurers as shall be satisfactory to Lessor, or with Lessor's prior written consent, may be self -insured against any or all such risks. Property or physical damage insurance shall be "comprehensive" or "all risk" coverage. In no event will the insurance limits be less than the greater of the Concluding Payment of the Lease or the Fair Market Value of the Equipment at all times, and valuation of loss must be on a replacement cost basis. Proceeds of any such property damage and physical damage insurance relating to damage to or loss of any Equipment shall be payable to Lessor as loss payee. 16.2 Lessee shall maintain at all times, at Lessee's expense, public liability insurance coverage, providing coverage for Lessor as an additional insured, and third party property damage insurance coverage, providing coverage for Lessor as a loss payee, and such other insurance coverage as Lessor shall require protecting Lessee and Lessor from liabilities for injuries to persons and damage to property of others relating in any way to any Equipment in such amounts, against such risk and by such insurers as shall be satisfactory to Lessor. Proceeds of any such public liability or property insurance shall be payable first to claims made against Lessor as an additional insured or loss payee, as the case may be, to the extent of its liability, and then to claims made against Lessee. If required by State law, Lessee shall carry worker's compensation insurance covering all employees on, in, near or about the Equipment, or demonstrate to the satisfaction of Lessor that adequate self-insurance is provided. 16.3 Each insurance policy: (a) shall name Lessee as a named insured and Lessor or its assignee as an "additional insured" (with respect to liability coverage) and "loss payee" (with respect to property or casualty coverage) without regard to any breach of warranty or other act or omission of Lessee, (b) with respect to insurance required by Subsection 16.1 above, shall include a lender's loss payable endorsement for the benefit of Lessor, (c) shall contain a clause requiring the insurer to give Lessor at least thirty (30) days prior written notice of any alteration in the terms of such policy or the cancellation thereof, and (d) shall not be subject to any co- insurance clause. In addition, any such insurance shall not have a deductible amount in excess of $25,000 or other policy limitation unsatisfactory to Lessor without Lessor's express written consent, and the insurance shall be primary without a right of contribution from insurance which may be maintained by Lessor. An insurance company qualified to do business in the State with no less than a B+ Key Rating from A.M. Best shall provide such insurance. The proceeds of any such policies will be payable to Lessee and Lessor or its assignee as their interests may appear. Prior to delivery of the Equipment and each insurance renewal date, Lessee will deliver to Lessor a certificate evidencing such insurance, or the renewal or replacement thereof. In the event that Lessee has been permitted to self -insure, Lessee will furnish Lessor with a letter or certificate to evidence such effort. Lessee hereby irrevocably appoints Lessor as Lessee's attorney in fact to make claim for, receive payment of and execute and endorse all documents, checks or drafts received in payment for loss or damage under any such insurance policy, and to determine the application of any insurance proceeds. Within five (5) days of any damage to, or loss of, the Equipment, or any personal injury caused by the Equipment, Lessee shall give written notice to Lessor, Lessee shall make available to Lessor all information and documentation relating thereto, and Lessee shall have the duty to make all proofs of loss and take all other steps necessary to collect any amount under the above mentioned policies. In the event that Lessee fails to procure insurance as required herein, Lessor may obtain insurance at its own expense, with such amount to be reimbursed by Lessee. If Lessee fails to pay any amount when due, such amount shall accrue interest until paid at the Default Interest Rate. If the Equipment is to be subleased or used by others (subject to Lessor's prior written approval), a special insurance endorsement may be required to permit such use. Section 17. PREPAYMENT. 17.1 "Lease Year" as used below shall be calculated from anniversary date to anniversary date of the applicable Schedule, beginning with the Lease Commencement Date. For example, "Lease Year 1" represents the time from the Lease Commencement Date 8 to a date that is one-year later. Lessee may not voluntarily prepay the entire principal portion and accrued interest relating to any Schedule unless: (a) Lessor has received at least ninety (90) days prior written notice of a specific prepayment date ("Prepayment Date"); (b) the prepayment is made only on a date where a Lease Payment is regularly scheduled and due on the Schedule; (c) Lessee is prepaying the full remaining principal balance of the Schedule plus all accrued and unpaid interest to such Prepayment Date and all other amounts then due and payable under the affected Lease; (d) no Event of Default then currently exists under this Agreement, any Schedule or other related lease documents; and (e) Lessee is paying to Lessor along with such prepayment a prepayment premium fee equal to a percentage of the remaining principal balance of the Schedule ("Prepayment Premium") as follows: Lease Year(s) Percentage 1 3% 2 2% 3 and thereafter 1% 17.2 The Prepayment Premium is assessed as a liquidated damage fee and as compensation for breakage costs, the costs of making funds available to Lessee, internal costs and losses and the like and not as a penalty. Any Prepayment Premiums assessed hereunder shall be included in the obligations or indebtedness, as applicable, under the other related Lease documents. Lessee acknowledges and agrees that any involuntary prepayment under this Agreement, whether due to acceleration or otherwise, shall be subject to the applicable Prepayment Premium assessed hereunder. 17.3 Upon the payment in whole of the principal amount of, and all accrued interest due under, a Lease by Lessee, plus the satisfaction by Lessee of all of the prepayment conditions listed herein, the Lease with respect to the such Equipment shall terminate, and Lessee shall be entitled to such Equipment, "AS -IS," "WHERE -IS," WITHOUT WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR FITNESS FOR THE USE CONTEMPLATED BY LESSEE, except that such Equipment shall not be subject to any Lien created by or arising through Lessor. 17.4 In the event that Lessor exercises its right pursuant to Section 20(a) this Agreement to declare the amount stated therein to be immediately due and payable, then, in addition to all of the other rights and remedies available to Lessor under this Agreement, Lessee shall be immediately obligated to pay to Lessor the Prepayment Premium with respect to the entire unpaid principal balance of such Lease. For purposes of computing the Prepayment Premium which is due following such a declaration, the "Prepayment Date" shall be the date of such declaration or another date selected by Lessor, in its discretion, which is after the date of such declaration. 17.5 In the event of any involuntary prepayment, other than an involuntary prepayment governed by Subsection 17.4 above, Lessee shall be obligated to pay to Lessor, simultaneously with such involuntary prepayment, (a) the interest on the amount so prepaid accrued through and including the Prepayment Date and (b) a Prepayment Premium in the amount determined pursuant to this Agreement. For purposes of computing the Prepayment Premium with respect to prepayments made pursuant to this Subsection 17.5, the Prepayment Date shall be the date on which such involuntary prepayment is actually received by Lessor. Unless Lessor otherwise agrees in writing, partial prepayments of principal under this Subsection 17.5 shall be credited to the principal portion of Lease Payments in the inverse order of maturity and shall not postpone the due dates of the Lease Payments under any Lease. Section 18. ASSIGNMENT. 18.1 Without Lessor's prior written consent, Lessee will not either (a) assign, transfer, pledge, hypothecate, grant any security interest in or otherwise dispose of this Agreement, any Lease hereunder, the Equipment or any interest herein or therein, or (b) sublet or lend the Equipment or permit it to be used by anyone other than Lessee or Lessee's employees. Lessee's interest herein or any Lease may not be assigned or transferred by operation of law. 18.2 Lessor may assign, without the consent of Lessee, any or all of Lessor's rights, title or interest in and to this Agreement or any Lease hereunder, the Equipment and any other documents executed with respect thereto and/or grant or assign a security interest in this Agreement, any Lease hereunder, and the Equipment, in whole or in part, and in the case where there are multiple Leases hereunder, Lessor may assign its rights thereunder to different assigns. Any such assigns (each an "Assignee") shall have all of the rights of Lessor under each Lease it owns. By accepting an assignment of a Lease, each Assignee of a Lease shall be bound by the following provisions: (a) the secured obligations described in Section 9 hereof shall include and apply only to the obligations of Lessee under the Assigned Leases (as defined below) and shall exclude the obligations of Lessee under any Non -Assigned Leases (as defined below); (b) said Assignee shall have no Lien on, nor any claim to, nor any interest of any kind in, any Non -Assigned Lease or any Equipment covered by any Non -Assigned Lease; and (c) said Assignee shall exercise its rights, benefits and remedies as the assignee of Lessor (including, without limitation, the remedies under Section 19 of this Agreement) solely with respect to the Assigned Leases. "Assigned Leases" means only those Leases which have been assigned to a single Assignee pursuant to a written agreement; and "Non- Assigned Leases" means all Leases excluding the Assigned Leases. No such assignment (except an assignment to an affiliate of Lessor or to an entity whose common stock is directly or indirectly one hundred percent (100%) owned by Lessor's parent or indirect parent (each an "Affiliate") so long as Lessor continues to bill and collect Lease Payments) shall be effective unless and until Lessee shall have received a written notice disclosing the name and address of each such Assignee; provided, however, that if such assignment is made to a bank or trust company as paying or escrow agent for holders of certificates of participation in this Agreement or any Lease hereunder, it shall thereafter be sufficient that a copy of the agency agreement shall have been deposited with Lessee until Lessee shall have been advised that such agency agreement is no longer in effect; and provided, further, to the extent that State law requires the written approval and/or authorization of Lessee in order to effectuate the issuance, sale, assignment, or transfer of fractionalized interests in a Lease (whether in whole or in part), then such written approval and/or authorization shall be obtained in accordance with State law. After the giving of notice of any such assignment to Lessee, Lessee shall thereafter make all payments in accordance with the notice to the Assignee named therein. No further action will be required by Lessor or by Lessee to evidence the assignment; however, Lessee shall, if so requested, acknowledge any such assignment in writing, but such acknowledgement shall in no way be deemed necessary to make the assignment effective. DURING THE LEASE TERM OF EACH LEASE, LESSEE SHALL KEEP A COMPLETE AND ACCURATE RECORD OF ALL SUCH ASSIGNMENTS IN FORM NECESSARY TO COMPLY WITH SECTION 149(a) OF THE CODE, AND THE REGULATIONS, PROPOSED, EXISTING, OR FROM TIME TO TIME PROMULGATED THEREUNDER; however, in the event Lessor assigns its interest in a Lease to an Affiliate, Lessor shall maintain a record of such assignment for the benefit of Lessee.

No delay or omission to exercise any right or power accruing upon any default shall impair any such right or power or shall be construed to be a waiver thereof but any such right and power may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient by Lessor.

LA23-000046 WHEREAS, on September 5, 2023, Rebecca Holzem (hereinafter the "Applicant'), made a complete application for variances from the City Code for the property addressed 3407 Eastlake Street and legally described as: IN LOT 1, BLOCK 8, BAYSIDE ADDITION TO LAKE MINNETONKA, Hennepin County, Minnesota (hereinafter the "Property"); WHEREAS, the Applicant has applied to the City of Orono for average lakeshore and 75-foot lake setback variances from City Code Section 78-1279 in order to construct a new deck; and WHEREAS, the Applicant has applied to the City of Orono for hardcover variances from City Code Section 78-1680 and 78-1700 in order to construct a new deck; and WHEREAS, on September 18, 2023, after published and mailed notice in accordance with Minnesota Statutes and the City Code, the Planning Commission held a public hearing, at which time all persons desiring to be heard concerning this application were given the opportunity to speak thereon; and WHEREAS, on September 18, 2023, the Planning Commission voted 4 to 2 in favor of a motion to recommend approval of the variance as applied; and WHEREAS, on October 9, 2023 the City Council reviewed the application and the recommendations of the Planning Commission and City staff and directed staff to draft an approval resolution by a vote of 4 to 1 with the amendment that the proposed deck be reduced in size to allow a 14' x 16' deck (plus stairs) and conditioning the removal of a stone walkway on the eastern side of the home; and WHEREAS, the Applicant has provided a revised survey, plan, and hardcover calculations that meet the requirements stipulated by the City Council at the October 9, 2023 City Council meeting; and NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of Orono, Minnesota hereby approves the requested variances as described above based on one or more of the following findings of fact concerning the Property: CITY OF ORONO RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL NO. 7415 FINDINGS OF FACT: 1. This application was reviewed as Zoning File #LA23-000046. The analysis contained within staff memos and the exhibits attached to the aforesaid memos, all minutes from the above mentioned meetings, and any and all other materials distributed at these meetings are hereby incorporated by reference. 2. The Property is located in the LR-lA One Family Lakeshore Residential Zoning District. 3. The Property contains 4,488 square feet in area and has a defined lot width of 44 feet at the 75-foot lakeshore setback and a lot width of 44 feet at the OHWL. 4. The Property is within Tier 1 and hardcover is limited to 25 % according to the Stormwater Quality Overlay District. 5. Applicant has applied for the following variances: a. Average Lakeshore Setback b. 75-Foot Lake Setback c. Hardcover within the 75-Foot Setback d. Hardcover to exceed 25% 6. In considering this application for variances, the Council has considered the advice and recommendation of the Planning Commission and the effect of the proposed variance upon the health, safety and welfare of the community, existing and anticipated traffic conditions, light and air, danger of fire, risk to the public safety, and the effect on values of property in the surrounding area. ANALYSIS: "Variances shall only be permitted when they are in harmony with the general purposes and intent of the ordinance ...." The proposed variance is in harmony with the purpose of the Ordinance. The subject property is extremely small is size and width. The existing home does not have any outdoor living space. The proposed deck is the minimum size needed for enjoyment of the outdoor area, there will be hardcover removed from other areas on the site to mitigate the hardcover increase, and the proposed deck in no way impacts neighboring views of the lake. This criterion is met. 2. "Variances shall only be permitted ... when the variances are consistent with the comprehensive plan." The proposed variance is consistent with the comprehensive plan. The comprehensive plan CITY OF ORONO RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL NO. 7415 emphasizes the protection of natural resources and limiting hardcover. The proposal is the minimal in size and will allow water to run through the slats of the deck. The proposal also includes the removal of a stone walkway in order to mitigate the hardcover impacts. This criterion is met. 3. "Variances may be granted when the applicant for the variance establishes that there are practical difficulties in complying with the zoning ordinance. `Practical difficulties,' as used in connection with the granting of a variance, means that: a. The property owner in question proposes to use the property in a reasonable manner, however, the proposed use is not permitted by the official controls. The construction of a small deck where no outdoor living space is currently is a reasonable use of the property supported by practical difficulties. This criterion is met. b. The plight of the landowner is due to circumstances unique to his property not created by the landowner. The lot size, width, and presence of the OHWL on the property are unique to the property and are not at the result of the homeowner; and c. The variance, ifgranted, will not alter the essential character of the locality. " The variance in order to construct a new deck would not likely impact the character of the area. The proposed deck is minimal and not intrusive and would have little impact on neighboring properties. This criterion is met. 4. "Economic considerations alone do not constitute practical difficulties." Economic considerations have not been a factor in the variance approval determination. "Practical difficulties also include but are not limited to inadequate access to direct sunlight for solar energy systems. Variances shall be granted for earth -sheltered construction as defined in Minn. Stat. § 216C.06, subd. 2, when in harmony with Orono City Code Chapter 78." This condition is not applicable. 6. "The board or the council may not permit as a variance any use that is not permitted under Orono City Code Chapter 78 for property in the zone where the affected person's land is located." This condition is not applicable, as a residential home is a permitted use in the LR-1A District. 7. "The board or council may permit as a variance the temporary use of a one -family dwelling as a two- family dwelling." This condition is not applicable. CITY OF ORONO RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL NO. 7415 "The special conditions applying to the structure or land in question are peculiar to such property or immediately adjoining property." The special conditions of the property include the substandard lot size and width. The subject properties size is unique to the zoning district and larger area. This criterion is met. 9. "The conditions do not apply generally to other land or structures in the district in which the land is located." The subject property is unique in its small size, width and proximity to the OHWL and creek which prevent the property from having a compliant building envelope. This criterion is met. 10. "The granting of the application is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a substantial property right of the applicant." The existing home does not have any outdoor living space. The construction of the deck would allow the homeowner to fully enjoy the property. This criterion is met. 11. "The granting of the proposed variance will not in any way impair health, safety, comfort or morals, or in any other respect be contrary to the intent of this chapter." Granting the requested variances will not adversely impact health, safety, comfort, or morals of the community. This criterion is met. 12. "The granting of such variance will not merely serve as a convenience to the applicant, but is necessary to alleviate demonstrable difficulty." The property does not have any outdoor living space and therefore the request is not simply to serve as a convenience to the applicant. The deck size is minimal and additional hardcover has been removed in an attempt to mitigate the new deck. This criterion is met. CONCLUSIONS, ORDER AND CONDITIONS: Based upon one or more of the above findings, the Orono City Council hereby grants a variance from Orono Municipal Zoning Code Sections 78-1279, 78-1680, and 78-1700 to allow the construction a new deck. 1. Council approval is based on the entire record, above Findings. 2. The approved project shall conform to the attached site plan and building plans submitted by the Applicant and annotated by City staff (hereinafter the "Plans"), attached to this Resolution as Exhibits A & B. 3. Removal of the stone walkway to the east of the house as shown in Exhibit A is required as part of the project. 4 CITY OF ORONO RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL NO. 7415 4. Any amendments to the plans which are not in conformity with City codes may require further Planning Commission and City Council review. 5. Authorities granted by this resolution run with the Property not with the Applicants, but are permissive only and must be exercised by obtaining a building permit for the new construction and commencing construction of said project. A framing inspection must be completed within one year of the date of Council approval, or the variance will expire on that date (October 23, 2024). 6. Violation of or non-compliance with any of the terms and conditions of this resolution may result in the termination of any authority granted herein.

Purpose. This application is regarding variances for average lakeshore setback, 75-foot lake setback, overall hardcover and hardcover within the 75-foot lake setback for the construction on a new deck. 2. MN§15.99 Application Deadline. The application was received August 15, 2023 and considered to be complete on September 5, 2023. Therefore the 60-Day review period expires on November 4, 2023. 3. Background/ Summary. The applicant is proposing to construct a new, 280 square foot deck on the property. The subject property is substandard in size and width for the LR-IA district with a total of 4,488 square feet when 2 acres is the minimum required. The property is considered a lake lot due to the OHWL being present on the property. There is no outdoor living space present on the property today. The existing home is within the 75-foot setback and was approved in 2005 with variances through Resolution 5222. The proposed deck would be located within the 75-foot setback, within the average lakeshore setback and brings the overall hardcover on the site from 27% to 35%. The applicant has listed the extremely small lot size and lack of outdoor space as practical difficulties. 4. Planning Commission Vote and Comment. On September 18, 2023, the Planning Commission held a public hearing. A member of the public spoke in favor of the request. The Commission reviewed the application and noted the proposed project is not out of character for the neighborhood and believed the property had practical difficulties due to the small lot size and unique placement near the lake. The Planning Commission discussed the size of the deck and questioned if the size was necessary and referenced the original 2005 approval. The Commission had a split vote recommended approval of the application as applied by a vote of 4 to 2. Video of the Planning Commission meeting is at available on the city website to refence the discussion. 5. Public Comment. The applicant has provided neighbor acknowledgment forms. 6. Staff Recommendation. Staff recommends denial of the application as applied. The original approval of variances for the home (Resolution 5222) specifically state that a deck was forgone from the design of the home in order to minimize the hardcover request. It went on to say that future hardcover increases would likely not be supported. The homeowner has reasonable use of the property with a single- family home. Staff recognizes the practical difficulties of the substandard site, but staff does not believe the requested deck size is necessary especially without any other reduction of hardcover on the site. COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED Direct staff to draft a denial resolution. Exhibits Exhibit A. Proposed Plans Exhibit B.

The application was received on August 23' and considered to be complete on October 6, 2023. Therefore the 60-Day review period expires on December 5, 2023. 3. Background/ Summary. The existing home is situated 13.5 feet from the Narrows Channel where 75' is required. Approximately 70% of the property is within the 75-foot setback from the lake and/or channel. There are currently building and hardcover improvements within the 75-foot setback (from the channel and the lake), and the home is nonconforming with respect to the low floor requirement of the FEMA floodplain regulations. The application involves construction of a new home on the existing footprint with a garage addition as well as other hardcover changes/improvements on the property. The new home will be elevated on fill to comply with FEMA regulations. The proposed fill and the architectural changes result in an approximate 14 feet of increased building mass within the 75-foot setback creating new vertical encroachments. 4. Variance Description. The applicant is proposing to construct the new home in the same footprint as the existing home. The site constraints include the channel setback of 75 feet, the 75-foot lake setback on the west, the narrow width, the existing home location, and the low elevation areas of the property (impacted by floodplain regulations). The existing home is a low, walk -out rambler. According to the comparison plans, the applicant is proposing to increase the height of the new rambler -style home by approximately 14 feet overall resulting from the placement of required fill and architectural changes to the ceiling heights and roof structure. The basement floor elevation of 930.3' in the existing home is nonconforming with respect to FEMA regulations. The current plans reflect a conforming basement floor elevation of 933.5'. Approximately 70% of the property is within the 75-foot setback from the lake and channel. The applicant is proposing to reduce the total site hardcover by 1,677 square feet including the 528 square foot reduction within the 75-foot setback. The driveway was reoriented and reduced, the lakeside sport court has been removed, the paver patio has been removed, and the lakeside deck has been reduced by half. 5. Conditional Use Permit Description. When elevating a home on fill within the floodplain, FEMA regulations require the creation of a filled rescue bench around all buildings proposed to be elevated on fill. The fill material must continue at the required elevation around the perimeter of the building to create a 15-foot "rescue bench". The home is set back approximately 8 feet from the channel -side property line and while the 10-foot LR-1B district setback can be met on the interior side, there is not sufficient room on either side of the home to fully comply with the 15-foot perimeter fill requirement. The Code requires a conditional use permit to formally address the departure from the fill bench requirement. Prepared By: m CC Reviewed By: LLO Approved By: AGENDA ITEM Additionally, the floodplain filling and mitigation shown on the plan falls under the MCWD's purview; a floodplain mitigation permit is currently being reviewed by the MCWD. 6. Planning Commission Vote and Comment. On October 16, the Planning Commission held a public hearing. The Commission discussed the issues raised by staff. Following the public hearing, the Planning Commission voted 6 to 0 on a motion to approve the application as applied. 7. Public Comment. No comments from the public were received. 8. Staff Recommendation. Planning Staff continues to recommend approval of the project with the exception of the 14-foot upward expansion of the porch along the channel. Staff does not support the vertical expansion of the Staff prepared a draft resolution for approval of the project as applied following the Planning Commission's guidance for Council's consideration, attached as Exhibit A. However, Staff recommends the Council follow the staff recommendation to approve the project except the porch expansions.

LA23-000051 WHEREAS, on August 23, 2023, on behalf of Erik and Marissa Winegarden (hereinafter the "Owners"), Keplinger & Keranen Builders Inc., (hereinafter the "Applicant"), applied for variances from the City Code for the property addressed 2795 Shadywood Road and legally described as: Tract A and Tract B, RLS No. 500, Hennepin County, Minnesota (hereinafter the "Property"); WHEREAS, the Applicant has made application to the City of Orono for a variance to Orono Municipal Zoning Code Section 78-330 to allow development of a nonconforming lot with 33,042 square feet in area where 43,560 square feet is required; and 137 feet at the lake on the west side where 140-feet is required; and WHEREAS, the Applicant has made application to the City of Orono for a variance to Orono Municipal Zoning Code Section 78-1279 to allow construction of a new home 13.5 feet from the Narrows Channel and 71 feet from the lake where a 75-foot setback is required; and WHEREAS, the Applicant has made application to the City of Orono for a variance to Orono Municipal Zoning Code Section 78-1279 to allow construction of a lake side deck 71 feet from the lake which encroaches 6.5 feet lakeward of the average lakeshore setback line; and WHEREAS, the Applicant has made application to the City of Orono for a variance to Orono Municipal Zoning Code Section 78-1680 to allow 4,638 square feet of hardcover within the 75-foot setback where no hardcover is permitted and 5,166 square feet currently exists in conjunction with redevelopment of the property; and WHEREAS, the Applicant has made application to the City of Orono for a conditional use permit (hereinafter a "CUP") pursuant to Orono Municipal Zoning Code Section 78-1125 to allow flexibility on the sides of the home from the required 15-foot rescue elevation bench due to the Property's narrow width, according to the approved plans; and WHEREAS, on October 16, 2023, after published and mailed notice in accordance with Minnesota Statutes and the City Code, the Planning Commission held a public hearing, at which CITY OF ORONO RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL NO. 7417 time all persons desiring to be heard concerning this application were given the opportunity to speak thereon; and WHEREAS, on October 16, 2023, the Planning Commission recommended approval of the application as applied including the variances and CUP; and WHEREAS, on October 23, 2023 the City Council reviewed the application and the recommendations of the Planning Commission and City staff; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of Orono, Minnesota hereby approves the requested variance as described above based on one or more of the following findings of fact concerning the Property: FINDINGS OF FACT: Al. The analysis contained within staff memos and the exhibits attached to the aforesaid memos, all minutes from the above -mentioned meetings, and any and all other materials distributed at these meetings are hereby incorporated by reference. A2. The Property is located in the LR-1 B, Single Family Lakeshore Residential Zoning District. A3. The Property contains 0.75 acres in area and has a defined lot width of 137 feet. A4. The Property is within Tier 1 and hardcover is limited to 25% according to the Stormwater Quality Overlay District. A5. Applicant has requested the following approvals: a. Lot Width Variance b. Lot Area Variance c. 75-foot Lake Setback Variance d. Average Lakeshore Setback e. Variance for Hardcover within the 75-foot setback; and f. A Conditional Use Permit A6. In considering this application for variances, the Council has considered the advice and recommendation of the Planning Commission and the effect of the proposed variances upon the health, safety and welfare of the community, existing and anticipated traffic conditions, light and air, danger of fire, risk to the public safety, and the effect on values of property in the surrounding area. CITY OF ORONO RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL NO. 7417 VARIANCE ANALYSIS: B1. "Variances shall only be permitted when they are in harmony with the general purposes and intent of the ordinance ...." The proposed variances are in harmony with the purpose of the Ordinance. The Property has difficulties in its substandard size and width, the proximity to the channel, the 75-foot lake setback, the existing home location, and the floodplain areas of the property making development difficult. B2. "Variances shall only be permitted ... when the variances are consistent with the comprehensive plan." The variances proposed to rebuild a new home in the same footprint on this nonconforming lot are consistent with the comprehensive plan. B3. "Variances may be granted when the applicant for the variance establishes that there are practical difficulties in complying with the zoning ordinance. `Practical difficulties,' as used in connection with the granting of a variance, means that: a. The property owner in question proposes to use the property in a reasonable manner, however, the proposed use is not permitted by the official controls. The request to permit construction of a new residence on the existing foundation on the substandard lot is reasonable. b. The plight of the landowner is due to circumstances unique to his property not created by the landowner. The substandard lot size is an existing condition, there is no available land with which to make the Property more conforming. The existing conditions, lot size, and location are challenges not created by the Owners. There should be consideration for variances for the Property which is substandard in area and setback requirements. The project has been designed with an effort toward limiting the additional hardcover without sacrificing functionality; and c. The variance, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the locality." The variances are requested in order to permit construction of a new home in the same footprint, which is reasonable. Hardcover and setback improvements are being made. B4. "Economic considerations alone do not constitute practical difficulties." Economic considerations have not been a factor in the variance approval determination. B5. "Practical difficulties also include but are not limited to inadequate access to direct sunlight for solar energy systems. Variances shall be granted for earth -sheltered construction as defined in Minn. Stat. § 216C.06, subd. 2, when in harmony with Orono City Code Chapter 78." This condition is not applicable. CITY OF ORONO RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL NO. 7417 B6. "The board or the council may not permit as a variance any use that is not permitted under Orono City Code Chapter 78 for property in the zone where the affected person's land is located." This condition is not applicable, as a single-family home is an allowed use in the LR-1 B District. B7. "The board or council may permit as a variance the temporary use of a one -family dwelling as a two-family dwelling." This condition is not applicable. B8. "The special conditions applying to the structure or land in question are peculiar to such property or immediately adjoining property." The Property's substandard size, location, elevation, and unique configuration creates difficulties which also apply to many of the properties in the same neighborhood. The proposed setbacks and hardcover level are not out of character. B9. "The conditions do not apply generally to other land or structures in the district in which the land is located." The Property's substandard area and width, in addition to the unique configuration along the channel, creates difficulties which apply to very few properties in the City. Some neighboring properties have similar challenges. B10."The granting of the application is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a substantial property right of the applicant." The proposed size of the home is not exceeding the existing footprint within the setbacks. Granting of the lot area, lot width, lake and average lakeshore setback, and hardcover variances are necessary for the preservation of the property right of the Owners. B11. "The granting of the proposed variance will not in any way impair health, safety, comfort or morals, or in any other respect be contrary to the intent of this chapter." Granting the variances for lot area and width, hardcover, and setbacks in this situation is not contrary to the intent of the zoning chapter. B12. "The granting of such variance will not merely serve as a convenience to the applicant, but is necessary to alleviate demonstrable difficulty." Without variances, redevelopment of the Property would be challenging. The variances for lot area and width, setback, and hardcover are necessary, and do not merely serve as a convenience to the Applicant. CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT ANALYSIS: The Council may grant a CUP as the use permit was applied for or in modified form. On the basis of the application and the evidence submitted, the city finds that the proposed use at the Property is or will be: CITY OF ORONO RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL NO. 7417 C1. Consistent with the community management plan; the proposed development of the Property for residential use is consistent with the community management plan. C2.

C3. Adequately served by police, fire, roads, and stormwater management; in the opinion of staff this criterion is met. C4. Provided with an adequate water supply and sewage disposal system; in the opinion of staff this criterion is met. C5. Not expected to generate excessive demand for public services at public cost; in the opinion of staff this criterion is met. C6. Compatible with the surrounding area as the area is used both presently and as it is planned to be used in the future; the development of the Property for residential use is compatible and consistent with the neighborhood and surrounding uses. C7. Consistent with the character of the surrounding area, unless a change of character is called for in the community management plan; development of the Property for residential use is compatible and consistent with the neighborhood and surrounding uses. C8. Compatible with the character of buildings and site improvements in the surrounding area, unless a change of character is called for in the community management plan; in the opinion of staff this criterion is met. C9. Not expected to substantially impair the use and enjoyment of the property in the area or have a materially adverse impact on the property values in the area when compared to the impairment or impact of generally permitted uses; the request for grading and filling within the floodplain will be reviewed by Minnehaha Creek Watershed District and a 1:1 mitigation will be required to offset any impacts from the filling activity. C10. Provided with screening and buffering adequate to mitigate undesirable views and activities likely to disturb surrounding uses; The alterations proposed are related to the mitigation for the removal of the existing house foundation and minor leveling of the CITY OF ORONO RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL NO. 7417 adjacent grade to elevate the proposed home to meet the RFPE and are consistent with the redevelopment of the property for residential use. The project should not result in undesirable views or sustained activity such to disturb neighbors. Screening vegetation shall be incorporated along the channel to screen the home from views from the lake. C11. Not create a nuisance which generates smoke, noise, glare, vibration, odors, fumes, dust, electrical interference, general unsightliness, or other means; The Applicant will be required to adhere to the City's erosion control regulations as well as the permitting requirements of the MCWD. Timely re -vegetation and stabilization will be a requirement of the permitting process. The project should not result in a nuisance condition. C12. Not cause excessive non-residential traffic on residential streets, parking needs that cause a demonstrable inconvenience to adjoining properties, traffic congestion, or unsafe access; the applicant will be required to keep debris off of the public roadways; a haul route should be provided. The noise resulting from the trucks and equipment moving the material in and around the site should be minimized to the extent possible. The grading project will be evaluated and monitored by the City Engineer and planning staff so as to minimize nuisances during the project. C13. Designed to take into account the natural, scenic, and historic features of the area and to minimize environmental impact; the overall long-term effect of the project should result in minimal if any environmental impacts. C14. All exterior lighting shall be so directed so as not to cast glare toward or onto the public right-of-way or neighboring residential uses or districts; this project should result in no additional non-residential lighting or glare; and C15. Not detrimental to the public health, public safety, or general welfare. The project should not be a detriment to the public health, public safety, or general welfare.

Additionally, a conditional use permit is required in order to permit the required 15-foot fill bench to be less than 15-feet on the sides of the home in conjunction with elevating the home above the regulatory flood ion elevation on fill. Staff Recommendation: Planning Department Staff recommends partial approval of the application. See page 7 for full recommendation. Background The existing home on the property is situated within the 75-foot setback from the Narrows Channel. Approximately 70% of the 0.75-acre property is within the 75-foot setback from the lake and channel. The property line does not abut the concrete seawall on the channel as there is an approximate 3.5' foot strip of land owned by Hennepin County (highlighted in yellow on the existing conditions survey; Exhibit D). There are hardcover improvements within the 75-foot setback (from the channel and the lake), and the home is nonconforming with respect to FEMA floodplain regulations relating to the low floor elevation and the adjacent grades. The owners plan to build a new home on the existing footprint with a garage addition as well as other hardcover changes/improvements on the property. Their plans involve elevating the new home on fill to comply with FEMA regulations and bring the home up to modern standards with respect to ceiling heights resulting in an increase of mass within the 75-foot setback. The applicant's proposal contemplates cutting and filling within the property in order to elevate the proposed home to meet the floodplain regulations. As a result of the required fill and the changes to the structure of the home, the overall height is proposed to increase by approximately 14 feet over existing conditions. PROPOSED - West Lake Side Elevation Comparisons EXISTING - West FILE #LA23-000051 16 Oct 2023 Page 2 of 8 Practical Difficulties Analysis Applicant Submittal Information: The applicant has identified the channel as the primary practical difficulty supporting the requested variances. Additionally, they have provided supporting documentation regarding Practical Difficulties attached as Exhibit B, and should be asked for additional testimony regarding the application. Planning Staff Practical Difficulty Analysis: Regarding practical difficulty, Staff finds that the existing conditions of the lot (the house elevation and location, the narrow width of the lot, and its location along the channel requiring a 75-foot setback) are practical difficulties supporting variances. Staff finds there are practical difficulties for the requested variances with the exception of the screen porch portion of the home within 13 feet of the channel. The increased height of this porch combined with the extreme proximity to the channel cannot be supported. The applicant has the right to rebuild this portion of the home in -kind but staff does not find practical difficulty supporting the vertical expansion of the porch due to the close proximity to the lake. The applicant should redesign the porch to minimize the massing impact so close to the OHWL.

The proposed deck is smaller than existing and is proposed in the same location as the existing deck. Average Lakeshore The deck reflects a 6.5-foot encroachment into the ALS, and will be elevated approximately 14 feet higher due to the increased elevation and height of the home.

(25 %) (29.7%) w/in 75' (24.6%) w/in 75' Applicable Regulations: Lot Area and Lot Width Variance (Section 78-330) Zoning Code Section 78-72 provides options for the redevelopment of lots which do not meet the minimum area or width requirements for the respective zoning district. Substandard properties within the Shoreland Overlay District, such as the subject lot, are able to be redeveloped without variances if specific standards are met; such as: 1. All setback requirements can be met; 2. A Type 1 sewage treatment system consistent with Minnesota Rules, chapter 7080, can be installed or the lot is connected to a public sewer; and (The property is served by City sanitary sewer). 3. The impervious surface coverage meets all hardcover location and square footage restrictions of this chapter and the total square footage of hardcover does not exceed 25 percent of the entire lot area. 4. All other zoning district standards can be met. The applicant's request for variances results in the property's inability to conform to all of the administrative approval standards above. Therefore, lot area and lot width variances are also required in order to redevelop the property. The ability to develop the property consistent with other existing developed properties in the neighborhood would be limited if the area variance is not granted. 75-foot Lake Setback and Averaee Lakeshore Setback Variances (Sections 78-330 and 78-1279) The property has a narrow 5,700 square foot buildable rectangle located outside the 75-foot lake, side and rear setbacks. The applicant is proposing to build a new home on the existing foundation as they find this to be the most suitable location to build due to the site constraints. The site constraints include the channel setback of 75 feet, the 75-foot lake setback on the west, the narrow width, the existing home location, and the low elevation areas of the property (impacted by floodplain regulations). The existing home is a low, walk -out rambler with a peak height (from first floor) of approximately 16.5 feet. According to the comparison plans, the applicant is proposing to increase the height of the new rambler -style home by approximately 14 feet overall including fill and increased height of the home. The home comparisons can be seen in Exhibit E. The applicant's original plan included increasing the height of the home in order to raise the ceiling heights in the basement (8') and on the main level (9'). However, some of the volume expansions shown on the proposed plans are the result of the floodplain regulations relating to the minimum low floor requirement (932.5') and the MCWD's minimum low opening requirement (933.5'). The basement floor elevation of 930.3' in the existing home is nonconforming with respect to FEMA regulations. The current plans reflect a conforming basement floor elevation of 933.5'. 75-foot Hardcover Variance (Section 78-1279: 78-1680: and 78-1700 Approximately 70% of the property area is within the 75-foot setback from the lake and channel. The applicant is proposing to reduce the total site hardcover by 1,677 square feet including the 528 square foot reduction within the 75-foot setback. The driveway was reoriented and reduced, the lakeside sport court has been removed, the paver patio has been removed, and the lakeside deck has been reduced by half. FILE #LA23-000051 16 Oct 2023 Page 4 of 8 Conditional Use Permit relatine to elevatine the home on fill (Section 78-1125 Wherever floodplain filling is proposed, DNR and MCWD regulations require the floodplain be expanded elsewhere so there is no decrease in flood storage capacity. The applicant is proposing equal mitigation for the impacts on the property. The MCWD is currently processing the floodplain alteration permit application. Additionally, the City's floodplain regulations require a rescue bench around all buildings proposed to be elevated above the floodplain on fill. The fill material must continue for around the perimeter of the building to create a 15-foot "rescue bench". The subject property is 137 feet wide; the proposed home is approximately 100 feet wide. The home is set back approximately 8 feet from the channel -side property line and while the 10- foot 1_11-113 district setback can be met on the interior side, there is not sufficient room on either side of the home to fully comply with the 15-foot perimeter fill requirement. The Code requires a conditional use permit to formally address the departure from the fill bench requirement. Governing Regulation: Variance (Section 78-123) In reviewing applications for variance, the Planning Commission shall consider the effect of the proposed variance upon the health, safety and welfare of the community, existing and anticipated traffic conditions, light and air, danger of fire, risk to the public safety, and the effect on values of property in the surrounding area. The Planning Commission shall consider recommending approval for variances from the literal provisions of the Zoning Code in instances where their strict enforcement would cause practical difficulties because of circumstances unique to the individual property under consideration, and shall recommend approval only when it is demonstrated that such actions will be in keeping with the spirit and intent of the Orono Zoning Code. Economic considerations alone do not constitute practical difficulties. Practical difficulties also include but are not limited to inadequate access to direct sunlight for solar energy systems. Variances shall be granted for earth - sheltered construction as defined in Minn. Stat. §216C.06, subd. 14, when in harmony with this chapter. The board or the council may not permit as a variance any use that is not permitted under this chapter for property in the zone where the affected person's land is located. The board or council may permit as a variance the temporary use of a one -family dwelling as a two-family dwelling. According to MN §462.357 Subd. 6(2) variances shall only be permitted when: 1. The variance is in harmony with the general intent and purpose of the Ordinance. The proposed variances are in harmony with the purpose of the Ordinance. The substandard lot has difficulties in its substandard size and width, the unique access over the easement on the rear, the proximity to the channel, the 75-foot lake setback, the existing home location, and the floodplain areas of the property making development difficult. The vertical expansion proposed on the screen porch is not in harmony with the intent of the ordinance. The additional mass will intensify the use of the home and disrupt the natural lakeshore. The variance is consistent with the comprehensive plan. The variances proposed to rebuild a new home in the same footprint on this nonconforming lot are consistent with the comprehensive plan. The applicant establishes that there are practical difficulties. a. The property owner proposes to use the property in a reasonable manner not permitted by the official controls; The request to permit construction of a new residence on the existing foundation on the substandard lot is reasonable. There are circumstances unique to the property not created by the landowner; The substandard lot size is an existing condition, there is no available land with which to make the property more conforming. The existing conditions, lot size, and location are challenges not created by the owners. There should be consideration for variances for the property which is substandard in area and setback requirements. The project has been designed with an effort toward limiting the additional hardcover without sacrificing functionality; and FILE #LA23-000051 16 Oct 2023 Page 5 of 8 The variance will not alter the essential character of the locality. The variances are requested in order to permit construction of a new home in the same footprint, which is reasonable. A variance to allow a new vertical encroachment for the screen porch, approximately 13' from the OHWL, would alter the character of the channel and impact the natural setting of the lakeshore. Additionally, City Code 78-123 provides additional parameters within which a variance may be granted as follows: 4. Economic considerations alone do not constitute practical difficulties. Economic considerations have not been a factor in the variance approval determination. 5. Practical difficulties also include but are not limited to inadequate access to direct sunlight for solar energy systems. Variances shall be granted for earth -sheltered construction as defined in Minn. Stat. § 216C.06, subd. 17, when in harmony with Orono City Code Chapter 78. This condition is not applicable. 6. The board or the council may not permit as a variance any use that is not permitted under Orono City Code Chapter 78 for property in the zone where the affected person's land is located. This condition is not applicable, as a single-family home is an allowed use in the LR-113 District. 7. The board or council may permit as a variance the temporary use of a one -family dwelling as a two- family dwelling. This condition is not applicable. 8. The special conditions applying to the structure or land in question are peculiar to such property or immediately adjoining property. The property's substandard size, location, elevation, and unique configuration creates difficulties which also apply to many of the properties in the same neighborhood. The proposed setbacks and hardcover level are not out of character. 9. The conditions do not apply generally to other land or structures in the district in which the land is located. The property's substandard area and width, in addition to the unique configuration along the channel, creates difficulties which apply to very few properties in the City. Some neighboring properties have similar challenges. 10. The granting of the application is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a substantial property right of the applicant. The proposed size of the home is not exceeding the existing footprint within the setbacks. Granting of the lot area, setback, and hardcover variances are necessary for the preservation of the property right of the owners. 11. The granting of the proposed variance will not in any way impair health, safety, comfort or morals, or in any other respect be contrary to the intent of this chapter. Granting the variances for lot area and width, hardcover, and setbacks in this situation is not contrary to the intent of the zoning chapter. 12. The granting of such variance will not merely serve as a convenience to the applicant, but is necessary to alleviate demonstrable difficulty. Without variances, redevelopment of the property would be challenging. The variances for lot area and width, setback, and hardcover are necessary, and do not merely serve as a convenience to the applicant. The Commission may recommend or Council may impose conditions in granting of variances. Any conditions imposed must be directly related to and must bear a rough proportionality to the impact created by the variance. No variance shall be granted or changed beyond the use permitted in this chapter in the district where such land is located. Applicable Regulation: Conditional Use Permit (Section 78-916) The Planning Commission may recommend and the Council may grant a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) as the use permit was applied for or in modified form. On the basis of the application and the evidence submitted, the city must find that the proposed use at the proposed location is or will be: FILE #LA23-000051 16 Oct 2023 Page 6 of 8 1) Consistent with the community management plan; the proposed development of the property for residential use is consistent with the community management plan. 2) Compliant with the zoning code, including any conditions imposed on specific uses as required by article V, division 3 of the City Code; with the exception of the currently requested variances, the project will conform to all applicable zoning requirements. 3) Adequately served by police, fire, roads, and stormwater management; in the opinion of staff this criterion is met. 4) Provided with an adequate water supply and sewage disposal system; in the opinion of staff this criterion is met. 5) Not expected to generate excessive demand for public services at public cost; in the opinion of staff this criterion is met. 6) Compatible with the surrounding area as the area is used both presently and as it is planned to be used in the future; the development of the property for residential use is compatible and consistent with the neighborhood and surrounding uses. 7) Consistent with the character of the surrounding area, unless a change of character is called for in the community management plan; development of the property for residential use is compatible and consistent with the neighborhood and surrounding uses. 8) Compatible with the character of buildings and site improvements in the surrounding area, unless a change of character is called for in the community management plan; in the opinion of staff this criterion is met. 9) Not expected to substantially impair the use and enjoyment of the property in the area or have a materially adverse impact on the property values in the area when compared to the impairment or impact of generally permitted uses; the request for grading and filling within the floodplain will be reviewed by Minnehaha Creek Watershed District and a 1:1 mitigation will be required to offset any impacts from the filling activity. 10) Provided with screening and buffering adequate to mitigate undesirable views and activities likely to disturb surrounding uses; The alterations proposed are related to the mitigation for the removal of the existing house foundation and minor leveling of the adjacent grade to elevate the proposed home to meet the RFPE and are consistent with the redevelopment of the property for residential use. The project should not result in undesirable views or sustained activity such to disturb neighbors. 11) Not create a nuisance which generates smoke, noise, glare, vibration, odors, fumes, dust, electrical interference, general unsightliness, or other means; The applicant will be required to adhere to the City's erosion control regulations as well as the permitting requirements of the MCWD. Timely re - vegetation and stabilization will be a requirement of the permitting process. The project should not result in a nuisance condition. 12) Not cause excessive non-residential traffic on residential streets, parking needs that cause a demonstrable inconvenience to adjoining properties, traffic congestion, or unsafe access; the applicant will be required to keep debris off of the public roadways; a haul route should be provided. The noise resulting from the trucks and equipment moving the material in and around the site should be minimized to the extent possible. The grading project will be evaluated and monitored by the City Engineer and planning staff so as to minimize nuisances during the project. 13) Designed to take into account the natural, scenic, and historic features of the area and to minimize environmental impact; the overall long-term effect of the project should result in minimal if any environmental impacts. 14) All exterior lighting shall be so directed so as not to cast glare toward or onto the public right-of-way or neighboring residential uses or districts; this project should result in no additional non-residential lighting or glare; and 15) Not detrimental to the public health, public safety, or general welfare. The project should not be a detriment to the public health, public safety, or general welfare. FILE #LA23-000051 16 Oct 2023 Page 7 of 8 A CUP may be granted subject to such conditions as the Council may prescribe. Additionally, a CUP shall remain in effect as long as the conditions imposed by the City Council are observed, but nothing in this section shall prevent the city from enacting or amending official controls to change the status of conditional uses. Conditional Use Permit Analysis: In addition to the City's CUP requirement for filling/grading below the 100-year flood elevation, the activity is subject to a floodplain alteration permit governed by the MCWD. The applicant has submitted an application to the MCWD along with the required plans and engineering. The City engineer will assure that the permitting conditions of the MCWD are consistent with the 1-to-1 volume mitigation requirement of the FEMA floodplain regulations which the City enforces. Additionally, the applicant will be required to keep debris off of the public roadways; a haul route should be provided with the permit for the home construction. Correction of damage to the public roadways will be required to be completed as part of the building permit compliance. Engineer Comments There were no substantive comments from the City's Engineer; a full grading review will be conducted with the building permit application. Public Comments To date, no public comments have been received. Issues for Consideration 1. The Commission should ask the applicant for additional testimony regarding the screen porch and the new vertical encroachments abutting the lake channel. 2. Does the Planning Commission find that that the property owner proposes to use the property in a reasonable manner which is not permitted by an official control? 3. Does the Planning Commission find that the variance(s), if granted, will not alter the essential character of the neighborhood? 4. Does the Commission find it necessary to impose conditions in order to mitigate the impacts created by the granting of the requested variance(s)? 5. Are there any other issues or concerns with this application? Planning Staff Recommendation Planning Staff recommends approval of the variances as proposed, with the exception of the screen porch portion of the home within 13 feet of the channel. The increased height of this porch combined with the extreme proximity to the channel cannot be supported. The applicant is allowed to recapture the footprint and volume area of the screen porch but expansion is not a right. Staff recommends that the applicant should redesign the porch to minimize the massing impact so close to the OHWL. Staff recommends approval of the conditional use permit for the rescue bench.
