A RESC�LUTION REGARDING DEVELOPMENT
. OF THE STUBBS BAY MARIATA PROPERTY
WHEREAS, the City of Orono is a municipal corporation
organized and eaisting under the laws of the State of �innesota ; and
jaHEREAS, the State of Minn�sota under State Statute
Chapter 462 has delegated to the municipalities the responsibility
and authority for carrying on comprehensive land use planning activities ,
and for the implementation of said planning activities through the
adoption and enforce�nent of appropriate zoning regulations and ordinances
which promote the public health, safety, morals and general welfare; and
WHEREAS, the City of Orono in response to this responsibility
adopted a Comprehensive Guide �Plan setting iorth the basic goals and
principles to guide development within the City; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to the Comprehensive Guide Plan, the City
Council adopted the Zoning Code of the City of Orono, which code sets
• forth the detailed land use regulations and performance standards for
the use and development of land within tne City; and
WHEREAS, since the adoption of the above Com�rehensive Plan
and Zoning Code, the State Legislature adopted the 1976 Metropolitan
Land Planning Act which does require the City of Orono to review the
previous Comprehensive Plan in relation to new information and current
trends in population growth, transportation, public facilities and
economic development; and . .
� 5 • .
. WHEREAS, the City of Orono has begun the requisite planning
� review with staff and consultants reviewing City-wide issues and also
with the designation of detailed study areas, which are receiving
�• special attention due to special planning problems ; and
'��
WHEREAS, one of the detailed s�tudy areas is the "Stubbs Bay
Area" shown on attached Exhibits A & B, which area is worthy of special
, study because of the proximity to Lake Minnetonka, a relativeiy large
number of homes located on relatively small lots , the general trend
. toward housing deterioration, the present lack of municipal sanitary
sewer service, poor soil conditions and substandard or potentially
failing septic systems , a newly defined flood hazard designation, and
� the receipt of a proposal to develop the Stubbs Bay Marina property,
the combination of which factors are unique to this area and are not
generally applicable to other areas of the City; and
Resolution I�TO. /D9-J�' �
Page 2 �
� � .
WHEREAS, in response to the special planning issues in
this area, the City Council on January 23, 1979 adopted Ordinance
No. 219 establishing a mo.ratorium on the granting of building permits ,
land subdivisions , rezoning applications, conditional or special use '
permits, variances , or other authority for additional development in
the Stubbs Bay Area ; and
WHEREAS , on February 27 , 1979, the �ity Council called a
Public Hearing to review the problems and planning issues in the
Stubbs Bay Area and specifically to review the �pending proposal for
development of the Stubbs Bay Narina property; and
WHEREAS, the Ci'ty Council, the Planning Commission, staff
and consultants have invested many hours in review of facts and issues
regarding development and land use in the Stubbs Bay Area,
� NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the City Council of
the City of Orono hereby makes the following findings of facts
concerning the Stubbs Bay Area and the Stubbs Bay Marina Property:
� I. THE PUBLIC INTEREST �
A. COMPREHENSIVE PLANNING
1. On August 26, 1974, the Orono City Council a dopted a
Comprehensive Guide Plan for the City. The sta ted purpose of
this plan was to establish policies, goals and objectives to
guide future development decisions in the City.
2. The City "("Villa'ge") was recognized as having a �unique character;
part urbanized and part rural but intimately interwoven with the
many miles of lakeshore and many acres of natura 1 wetlands and
that almost any development within the City has a direct impact
upon the environmental health of�:Lake Minnetonka .
;
�j�
3. The primary objectives enumerated in this plan were "to retain
_ the basic single family character of the Village, to preserve and '
maintain open space and existing natural resources including such
features as Iakes and wetlandsi and to provide for a limited
diversity of housing types at derisities consistent with the main-
tenance of open space". .
� �
� Resolution No. /D 99 �
Page 3
4. Existing commercial areas were recognized as being more than
adequate to serve the neighborhood needs of the City with emphasis
to be placed on a reduction of surplus com�-nercially zoned land,
. a reduction of commercial hardcover especially within 1000 feet
of the shoreline, and a reestablishment of natural vegetation in
lakeshore commercial areas .
5 . Residential development was to be a major objective of the
development plans , with care taken to assure lower densities in
rural areas lacking urban services and li�nited densities within
� 1000 feet of the shoreline consistent with M�WD, LMCD, DNR and :
PCA guidelines . �
6. The extension of urban serv ices were to be done solely to
correct existing public health, safety or welfare problems and
not to encourage any unwarranted development of the rural areas
� of the City or, of the environmentally sensitive wetlands or
lakeshore areas . -
• 7. The 1974 Comprehensive Plan was reviecaed and accepted by the
Metropolitan Council on November 7, 1974. .
8. In 1976, the enactment of the Metropolitan Land Planning Act
by the State Legislature mandated every City to prepare and adopt
Comprehensive Plans . Because of this mandate, new format inclusions
-. required by the Metropolitan Council, and new information generated
since 1974, O.rono in 1977 began to revise and update the 1974 �
. �omprehensive- Plan and �has hired a Land Use Planning Consultant
to assist and advise in such review. � �
9 . Prior to 1974, the City did not have a written "Comprehensive
Plan", but general policies have remained consistent since prior
. to incorporation as a Village in 1954: The earliest zoning
ordinances adopted in March of 1950 by the Orono Town Board
provide for essentially the same land uses as do the current planning
proposals . ' �
. 10. -T'he environmental concerns of Orono have long been paramount .
in planning activities . Wetlands were protected and removed from
building purposes in 1961. . In 1970, Ordinance 125 further protected •
wetlands, shorelands and flood plains from filling and development.

B. ZONING QRDII�ANCES
1. The first zoning regulations were adopted by the Orono Town
Baard in rs�rch 1950. The Stubbs Bay Study Area was zoned as a
"Residential District" west of Stubbs Bay Road on July 10, 1950
(the "Stubbs Bay Dist.rict") and east of Stubbs Bay Road on
November 20, 1950 (the "Crystal Bay District") . The nearest
conanercial areas were �rystal Bay (Brot,7n Foad and Central Avenue)
' and I�avarre.
2. On Narch 11, 1957, Village Ordinance No. 9 created,among others ,
the commercial zoning district where the marinas are located on .
Maxwell Bay.
3 . Also on riarch 11, 1957 , Village Ordinance No. 10 designated
� all lands not included in previous zoning districts as a �
"Residential Zoning District". Non-conforming uses were given a
10-year amortization period.
• 4. The Stubbs Bay Study Area remained a "Residential" district.
5. Ordinance No. 93, adopted September 5, 1967 and effective
January l, 1968, was the first zoning ordinance to provide for
coriunercial zoning classifications . The B-2 Lakeshore Commercial
. District was established providing for permitted uses (boat repairs
and service, boat launching, win ter storage of boats, sale and
rental of boats , motors,. fishing equipment and sale of fuel, boats ,
boat supplies, bait and marine items) and providing for conditional
uses (sale of cigarettes , food and beer subject to licensing by the
�ouncil) . Dock or slip rental was not a permitted nor a conditional
use. � .
6. Ordinance No. 93 designated the Stubbs Bay Marina Property as
B-2 Lakeshore Commercial. The remaining property in the Study Area
was zoned One-Family Residential, minimum 1-acre per lot. Property
along .the east shore of Stubbs Bay, south of the study area was
zoned One-Family Residential, minimum 1- 1/2 acres per lot.
7. Pursuant to adoption� of the 1974 Comprehensive Plan, the City �
Council revised all the zoning ordinances of the City. On
December 19, 1974, effective January l, 1975, the Council adopted
• Ordinance No. 172, the current Zoning Code of the City of Orono.
• Resolution No. /�99 -
: Page S
8. Ordinance No. 172 provides for exactly the same permitted
B-2 uses as did Ordinance No. 93. Ordinance No. 172 provides
for the same B-2 conditional uses as did Ordinance No. 93,
except that food sales is restricted to prepackaged or vending ,
machine foods. Ordinance No. 172 provides for "additional
reasonable regulations that require partial r�storation� of the
shoreline vegetation, that will serve to avoid pollution of the
lake water, and to insure protection of adjacent residential
properties which have previously suffered from the unregulated
expansion of corrli-nercial activities" .
9 . Ordinance No. 172 also designated the Stubbs Bay Marina � �
property as B-2 Lakeshore Commercial. The remaining property
surrounding Stubbs Bay was zoned One-Family Lakeshore Residential.
. Property along Tonkawa Road served by a 1973 sewer extension
remained at 1-acre per lot. Properties north of Bayside Roa d
and west of Stubbs Bay Road had the minimum lot size increased
from 1-acre to 5-acres per lot. The remaining residential
� properties had the minimum lot size increased to 2-acres per lot.
•
C. BUSINESS LICEn'SES .
1. The first City licensing of commercial boat dock businesses
began with the adoption of Ordinance No. 43 on April 26, 1962.
2. Subsequent revisions to the licensing regulations occurred
in 1963 (Ordinance No. 51) , 1969 (Ordinance No. 103) , 1970
(Ordinance No. Y15) and 1974 (Ordinance No. 166) . The curren t
licensing regulations are pursuant to Chapters 70-75 . of the �
Municipal Code, including Chapter 73, Commercial Docks which
chapter is Ordinance No. 173 adopted December 19, 1974.
3. All businesses licensed under Ch��per 73, Ordinance No. 173,
t entered into an operations agreement in 1975 pursuant to Section
73. 025 including McCleary and Stubbs Bay Marina. These agreements
called for certain physical improvements to be made on each property
over a 4-season span running from 1975 through 1978.
�
�
Fesolution No, /p 99 �
: Page 6 � �
4. Chapter 73 provides a number of performance standards to
be considered in granting or denying licenses including the
intensity of . the proposed uses, parking availability, minimum
setbacks and buffers from residential properties , maximum
hardcover amounts, minimum landscaping requirements , minimum '
sanitation require�nents, security arrangements , the extent o'f
use of the public �aaters and compliance with applicable regulations
of other gov�rn�nent agencies having jurisdiction, such as the DNR,
PCA, LMCD, MCWD and State Fire rlarshall' s Office.
II. STUBBS BAY STUDY AREA (See Exhibit A & B)
A. STUBBS BAY LAKE MINNETONKA
1. Stubbs ' Bay is the northern most Bay of Lake Minnetonka . The
Bay contains 199 acres of water �and 2. 6 mi'les of shoreline. Water
access to the main lake is via one channel to Ma�aell Bay, then
via another channel to Crystal Bay and a third channel to the
. Lower Lake at Smiths Bay, three miles from the marina property.
� The Bay has two tributary creeks, one on the northwest corner
and one on the northeast corner.
2. Stubbs Bay is relatively shallow with a maximum depth of
37 feet in the center. Roughly two thirds of the Bay is less
than 10 feet deep. .
3. A 1978 DNR study reports that 52% of the Bay is littoral
(shoals) the bo�tom of' which is 60% sand, 30% clay and 10% muck.
Lake color was green with heavy algal bloom and a secchi disc �
reading of 2. 3 feet.
�E. A 1978 FWBI study called Stubbs�� Bay� the �most eutrophic bay
of Lake Minnetonka in terms of algaet,bloom, turbidity, and
�nutrient content, even more eutrophic than HalsteadsqBay in
the Upper Lake. .
5. A 1973 LMCD study called Stubbs Bay "Potentially Critical"
and Ma�aell Bay "Critical" in terms of boat density and lake use �
compared to available water space and conflicting types of water •
uses . T'his classification was based upon an inventory showing
.49 boats stored and . 85 boats in use per.acre of water. The
, 1978 DNR study shows an increase in density to . 68 boats stored
and 1. 64 boats in use per acre of water, an increase of 38% in
stored boats and 93Q/o in active boats in five years .
R�solution No. /G'�7
� Page 7 ,
6 . A 1971 PCA study by Narza Engineering Company, Barr
Engineering Company, Eugene Hickock and Associates, and the
University of Minnesota Limnological Research Center concluded ."
that Lake rSinnetonka was being subject to accelerated eutrophication
caused by existing and increasing urbanization of the watershed
and consequent increasing inputs of nutrient elements including
phosphorus and nitrogen.
7 . Orono Ordinance No. 213, The Flood Plain and Wetlands
Ma�agement Ordinance, adopted October 26, 1978, references and
adopts the October 17, 1978 HUD Flood Insurance Study which had
been ongoing since rlarch, 1974. This study and Ordinance
identifies the following in regards to Stubbs Bay (see Exhibit F) .
� . -Ordinary high water elevation: . 929 . 4 ft. MSL
-Regulatory flood protection elevation: 932 . 5 ft. MSL
-Special flood hazard areas caused by tributary �
. to Stubbs Bay (includes Marina property) :
Flood hazard zone A-2 (below) 931. 0 ft. MSL
• Sheet flow area ( lft, depth) zone A-0 (below) 935. 0 ft. MSL
-Regulatory flood protection elevation: �1 ft, above ground
� level but not less than 932.5 ft. MSL
B. NATURAL LAND FEATURES
- . 1. The Study Area topography is of two basic types . The land
near the Bay is relatively flat including some marshland and
flood prone areas . T'he flat areas extend from the shoreline
� back several hundred feet in some areas , notably the large marsh .
along the northwest tributary- to the bay. The remaining land is
gently rolling to steep slopes rising 30 to 40 feet above lake _
level. Slopes range above 100% along the northeast tributary
creek, 50-100% between West Lake S_treet and Tonkawa Road and
5-20% t�ihere most of the residencest'are constructed.
2. The Study Area soils range from Marsh, Lake Beaches and
' Hamel loams in the marshy areas to Kilkenny and Lerdahl loams
on. the slopes . All of these soils have generally high ground
water elevations (6" to 3 ' ) . The Kilkenny soils have generally
high (slow) percolation rates . The Marsh and Lake Beach soils �
• perc fast but fail to clean nutrients or bacteria before exposure `
� to groundwater. Consequently, none of these soils is considered
suitable for standard on-site sewage treatment systems by the HSWCD,
� PCA, M�'WD, MHD, or City. Given suitable slopes , the Kilkenny loams
will support mound type sewage treatment systems.
Resolution No. /D j� �
�e 8
3. Ordinance No. 213 identifies designated wetlands in the .
Study Area as shown on Exhibit G as determined by HUD, HSWCD,
and MC'[aD. �
4. Vegetation varies from cattails.., sedges , and marsh grasses �
in the low areas to willows , su�nacs and low brush on the marshy
fringes . Slopes are wooded with various hardwoods including �
Oak, Elm and Mapl'e. Wild grasses and ground cover exist on the
roadsides and in the �aoods and meadows . Residential lawns have
been created around most homes . So;ne slopes and flatter ground
has been tilled in the past and even still is occasionally cut .
for hay, although of an apparent inconsistent quality. No -
commercial agriculture remains in the Study Area.
C. HISTORI� DEVELOPMENT
1. The Stubbs Bay Area of Orono was settled in the 1850,' s and
1860 ' s by family farmers for agricultural purposes .
• 2. The desirable climate and navigable bays of Lake Minnetonka
attracted summer hotel and resort trade in the 1870 ' s , 1880 ' s •
and 1890 ' s when Lake Minnetonka became a nationally recognized
resort region. Most of the lake area was settled in this time
period. 'I'he Stubbs Bay Area was not. •
3. Access to Lake Minnetonka was principally by means of
several different railroad and trolley lines none of which
came near to Stubbs Bay.� ' -
4. Well after the end of the� grand hotel period, a new, late-
building railroad was started' west from Minneapolis. The existing
towns of Long Lake and Maple Plain were >.avoided because they
� already had railroad service, but the li�.e did dip sauth to pass a
short distance north of Stubbs Bay. The first train to Winstead �
ran in 1915. This line never became �profitable and was � eventually �
abandoned becoming the State' s Luce Line Trail. .
5. Because Stubbs Bay was the only Lake Minnetonka point served . .
by this rail line, minor land speculation occurred.
� - .
Resolution No. /D 9� ' .
� Page 9
6. Bayside �ddition to Lake Minnetonka was platted April 18, 1912.
7 . Many homes in the area were built as summer cabins in the �
1912 - 1925 era . There were few year-round houses , except
farmsteads , until a housing shortage occurred after the second
world �oar. Population rapidly increased in the 1950-1954 period
as many of the seasonal cottages were converted for ycar—round
use. Only scattered changes have occurred since then.
8. Minor commercial development occurred with the coming of the
•railroad. This included a creamery on Stubbs Bay Road at the
tracks and a general store near Bederwood Road.. These uses have
long been discontinued with the buildings having been removed �
years ago. �
9. The Stubbs Bay Marina property was acquired for construction
�. of a fishing resort in 1914. The "land" consisted of swamp and
marshy lake edge. The lake bottom was hand dredged to provide
limited access for rowboats . The dredge spoils were placed in
. the swamp to provide a place to erect cabins . Cabins were built
in 1915 and the resort was established. Patrons presumably
arrived via the new rail line then just opened.
10. This resort was established after the end of grand hotel
and resort period. There was little change in the operation
between 1915 and 1973. Fishing boat rental continued. The
_ resort early began serving as a tavern for local residences .
Some of the cabins were sold and some of those were converted
. to year round' hbmes .• Other cabins were razed, the last in 1974.
Fishing boat rental continued through 1976. The tavern burned
in November, 19Z6.
11. By 1977, the only remaining :commercial use of land in the
Stubbs Bay Area was the rental of°:.slips at docks connected to
the Marina Property. �To on site services were available.

D. TRANSPORTATIOI� -
1. Travel to the Study Area is primarily along �ounty Road 84, •
a winding rural section road running generally east and west
connecting �ounty Roads 51 and 19 . Current traific volume is
less than 1000 trips per day.
2. Secondary access is along Stubbs Bay Road, a City stieet
running north and south connecting County Road 84 with U. S ,
Highway 12 a mile to the north. The intersection at U. S . 12
is less than ideal with cui-ves in both roads and both a grade
and a main line railroad coming on Stubbs Bay Road at the
intersection.
3. A third access road to the Study Area is County Road 135;
Tonkawa Road, also a curv ing rural section road running north
and south connecting County Roads 51 and 84.
� � 4. County Roads 84 and 135 in the Study Area are designated
as scenic parkways in the City' s Transportation Plan. County
� Road 84 west of 135 and Stubbs Bay Road. are designated as
residential collector streets .
5 . All other streets within the Study Area are city-maintained
local residential access streets . All are relatively short .
cul•-de-sacs opening off �ounty Road 84 or Stubbs Bay Road. Many
intersections have poor or marginal sight distances . Surfacing
is deteriorating on most of the local streets. The area includes
some of the few semaining city streets with gravel surfacing.
6. T'he nearest public transportation available is the MTC bus line
� through Long Lake which operates on South Brown Road and County

E. PUBLIC UTILITIES
1. There is no municipal water service available in the Study � -
Area . The nearest municipal services are in Navarre or extensions
, from Long Lake, Nei�her system can be expanded without major �
capital investment. All properties must use individual wells
for the foreseeable future. • �

2. There is no municipal sanitary sewer service available
in the Study Area , Al1 properties currently use on site secaage
treatment systems .
3. A '1974 study by Mc�ombs-Knutson Associates analyzed ground
and surface water samples from various locations in the eastern
part of the Stu dy Area. Shallow ,ground water samples showed
high concentrations of chloride and surfactants . Surface water
samples from the unnamed tributary to Stubbs Bay had a high
fecal coliforin count.
4. The City instituted a City-wide inspection program with '
the adoption of Ordinance No. 210, T'he On-Site Sewage Treatment
�ode, adopted on April 13, 1978.� Some of the homes in the Study �
Area were inspected in 1978. The remainder are scheduled for
inspection early in 1979. Of 82 known systems in the Study Area , .
36 have been inspected. Of those 36, 3 have been classified as
Conforming (properly designed and properly operating) , 31 have
been classified as Substandard (existing s}Tstems a�parently
• operating properly but with a significant probability of failure �
because of poor soil, high ground water or insufficient drainfield
area) , and 2 properties have been classified as having nTon-Conforming
Systems (those which are failing or are uncapable of operating without
creating a pollution or nuisance hazard) . The two -failing systems
are outhouses with the cesspool below watertable. The homes are
seasonal or weekend cabins . Outhouses have been illegal in Orono
since 1961. '
. 5. The 1974 McCombs-Knutson Study reviewed alternative sewerage
options including a co�nunity drainfield system. The results ��
of the 1979 inventory inspection will be used to update the 1974
study and determine how best to insure proper sewage treatment
or disposal for the properties in the Study Area .

F. HOUSING INVENTORY
1. The Study Area contains 82 single family homes most of which
exceed 50 years of age. Most homes were constructed as cabins -�
in the 1912 - 1925 period and winterized in the 1950 - 1954 era .
Some have been expanded over the years. Most have had one or �
more remodelings to upgrade the appea "rance of the interiors .
� Many have no basements or hand-dug basements.

2. Only 3 homes (3% of the total) are 4 years old or newer .�'�
having been built since the current zoning became effective
in 1975. �
3. Only 6 permits for major remodelings or additions have been .
issued for other homes in the Study Area since 1975. �
4. Of the 82 homes , 13 (16%) are located on lots of two acres
or larger, 10 (12%) on lots of one to two acres , 12 (15%) on
lots of 1/2 to 1 acre, and 47 (57%) on lots of 1/2 acre or
less in area.
S . Only 5 vacant building sites meet the current minimum lot
area requirements in the Study Area .
G.� GOVERNMENT SERVICES
1. Fire protection in the Study Area is provided under contract
• by the Long Lake Volunteer Fire Department. The station is
located 2. 7 miles from the Study Area by the shortest route.
Response time is approximately 5-8 minutes from the station or
9-12 minutes from the call.
_ 2. Police protection is provided by the Orono Police Department.
Response time from a call is 4 minutes on a City-wide average.
The actual time on any call depends upon the location of the
nearest squad car and whether or not the officer is already
involved. All a"reas of' the City are patrolled on an unpredictable
but continuous 24-hour schedule. Heaviest patrolling occurs in
the urban areas near Navarre with less frequent patrolling in
the rural residential areas such as this Study Area.
3, The Study Area is located entirei�.y within Orono School District
No. 278 with classes for all grades provided on the main campus �
on Old Crystal Bay Road two miles from the Area. All students are �
transported by buses provided by the District.

4, Local recreational facilities are provided to Study Area
residents by Bederwood Neighborhood Park located just north ���
of the Luce Line� on Stubbs Bay Road, by the Luce Line DNR
nature trail, by a city-maintained fishing dock on Stubbs Bay
at Stubbs Bay Road and by direct access to Lake Minnetonka
for all riparian property owners . ' The Stubbs Bay fishing dock
had been used for boat launching and winter access until 1975
when it was closed to those uses by Resolution No. 594 because
of increasing traffic hazards at the intersection of Stubbs Bay
Road and County Foad 84,
5. Other typical services provided to all Study Area residents �
include a Diseased Tree Inspection and Disposal Enforcement
program, State Building Code Inspection and Enforcement, •
Environmental Sanitation Inspection and Enforcement including
the On-Site Sewage Treatment Inventory and Inspection Program,
Animal Control Enforcement, Foadway Maintenance including snow
plowing, drainage maintenance of public ditches and provision

� Grant Funds for low and moderate income housing rehabilitation
H. DEVELOPMENT TRENDS
1• The upgrading of existing housing stock has been a major �
occurrence in 'the City over the last five years . The urban
areas of the City have experienced an increasing volume of
llomeowner repairs, remodelings , and additions including many
complete .rebuildings . As much as 50% - 60% of the urban area
. housing stock has been thus upgraded in these five years .
The rural areas have experienced a much lower incidence of
such work with perhaps 10% to 20% of the existing housing stock
having been upgraded in those same five years .
4a .
2. New housing has been dividedtalmost evenly between urban
and rural areas . Urban area development has been less evident
because it has occurred most frequently on a lot-division,
one-house-at-a-time basis . Rural area development has tended
. to be in new �subdivisions of from four to ten lots each, all
with on-site sewage treatment systems and lot sizes of two to
five acres each. Tract development has not occurred because of
� the relatively small size of existing parcels (most under 40 acres)
and because the rural service areas do not have sewer or water
available, �
Resolution No. /D�g

3. The Stubbs Bay Study Area is somewhat unique in having a � � �
large proportion of existing housing on relatively, small �
tightly-clustered lots characterized by the [,�est Lake Street � � � �
and the Tonka-Crestview-East Lake Street neighborhoods . The �
Study Area has had little or no d�velopment of either the .
rural or the urban types listed above. In five years , only two
subdivisions have occurred, one a lot split and the other having
three new and one existing building site. One larger rural
subdivision of 12 lots occurred directly south of .the Study Area
with five lots abutting Stubbs Bay.

7. Stubbs Eay in front of the Marina property is generally �
shallow and mucky with water depths well under 10 feet. The Bay
in this area has been dredged at least twice in the past, originally
in 1914 when the existing scaamp was filled in becoming the Marina
property, and again in 1934 or 1935 when the water level was very
low. Both times , the sedimentation has returned to fill the area
such that navigable access has again be�n hindered.
8. The characteristic loose sediment on the lake bottom in this
area is prone to frequent disturbance and movement tahen power boats
operate above. it. . Dr. John Wood, director of the F�WBI, states '
that, in r�spect to this sedimentation, "Since Stubbs Bay is small
and very shallow, it is clear that a multiple dock for large power �
boats would make the situation worse in several respects : � ,
1. T'he movement of sediments in shallow areas will cause
increased nutrient wash-out zrom the sediments into
the lake.
2. The adjacent shoreline properties will be sealed in by �
a sediment bank causing stagnation especially on the ��
� shoreline southeast of the project and causing residents
problems with filamentous algae, aquatic macrophytes , •
and foul odors from stagnation. Also, these residents
will have to dredge their way out eventually if they
wish access to the lake. "
9. Because of the shallowness of Stubbs Bay, the principal boat
type stored at the Marina in the recent past has been small •
16 to 20 ft, run�bouts •and pontoon boats.
C. RESORT HISTORY
1. The Marina property was acquired�'-�for construction of a fishing
resort in 1914. The "land" consisted of swamp and marshly lake edge.
The lake bottom was hand dredged to provide limited access for row-
. boats , The dredge spoils were placed in the swamp to provide a
, place to erect cabins . Cabins were built in 1915 and the resort was
established. Patrons presumably arrived via the new rail line then � -
just opened.
� �
Resolution No, jpy� - �
:� Page 19 � ,
2 . Stubbs Bay Resort operated essentially as a fishing access
point from 1915_ to 1973. The original resorts kept rowboats
pulled on-shore for use by fishermen and cabin renters . Services
included cabin rental, boat rental and bait sales . �
3 . The property was zoned "Residential" on November 20, 1950
by the Orono Town� Board. The resort then became a "non-conforming"
use of land. '
4. Keiran purchased the property from Freeman in 1956 and in turn
sold it to Mc�leary- in 1973. � -
S . On March 11, 1957 , . when Ordinan�es 9 & 10 were adopted, '
Stubbs Bay Resort remained a non-conforming use in a residential
zone subject to a ten-year amortization period .
�
6. The first City dock license was issued in 1962 for the keeping
of 18 rental fishing boats as were all licenses in the years 1962
through 1967. .
• 7 . License 282 issued April 23, 1964 carries the .notation
"Approval and. issuance of this license does not necessarily
� cons�titute approval of extended non-conforming use of residentially
zoned property" .
8. In September of 1964 through January of 1965,' Keiran appeared
� , before the City Council and Planning �ommission to discuss plans �or
the Resort and to ". . .request clarification of the zoning ordinance
� whereby their� property would revert to� residential use in 1967, and
� to present long range plans of their objectives for the future,
which would be impossible under the present zoning of their property" .
� (Council Minutes 9-14-64)
9 . A building permit was denied h� the Council on October 12, 1964
and rezonirfg was requested on November 9 , 1964. The item was "being
studied" throughout 1965 and 1966.
�
1'0. The February 6, 1967 license application by Keiran, Exhibit K,
still lists the use as "non-conforming" one month before the end of
the� 10-year amortization period. The current use of fishing boat �
rental and bait sales is clearly indica ted. The dock plan shows
the use of parcels �2 & 3 only with one ''cottage" and 18 slips:
• shallow water depths indicated.

B, nATURAL FEATURES
1. The Marina property (parcels 1-3) contains 1. 94 acres of
land above the ordinary highwater el�vation of 929 .4 feet MSL.
The land is essentially flat rising to elevation 934+ at the
eastern most point. There is approximately 250 feet of shoreline
on Stubbs Bay and approhimately 280 f�et of depth to the lot along
the south side. Drainage is provided .by direct surface floEaage
and by ditching along �ounty Foad 84. (See Exhibit I. )
2. Soils on the Marina property are primarily Lc sandy Lake
Beach with some N�a Marsh and Ha Hamel Loam. Al1 these soils .
have ground water tables within 6" or 1 ' of the surface.
Ordinance No. 210 prohibits any soil absorption type on-site
sewage treatment system on any of these soils because �of the ,
� high pollution potential. � �
3. The 1978 HUD Flood Insurance Study identifies Special Flood �
Hazard Areas covering the entire Marina property: See Exhibits
� F & I. 7one A-2 below elevation 931 MSL; the 10-Year Flood Plain,
covers 1/3 of the site. , Zone A-1 between elevations 931 and 932 MSL, .
the 100-Year Flood Pla in, covers the center 1/3 of the s ite. . Zone
A-0, the 500-Year Sheet Flow Area , covers the east 1/3 of the site
as well as County Road 84 and surrounding properties .
4. �onstruction in the flood plain must occur no lower than
1 ft, above the ground level at any point, or elevation 932. 5 MSL,
whichever is higher, according to City, State and Federal requirements.
_ , . .
5. Vegetation on the Marina property consists of some elm and
willow trees along the south property line and the shorelin�, with
additional willows in the eastern corner. Weeds and wild grasses
cover most of the ground. Cattails , sedges, and bullrushes grow
along the entire shoreline and thet�northwest corner on Parcels 3
and 4, particularly along the ditch line dividing those parcelst
(See Exhib it J) � .
6. There are no mapped-designated wetlands on the Marina property
or adjacent residential property but the elevation of the property, �
the actual soil types and the vegetation types all combine to define
parts of the property as "wetland" according to the definitions
ocontained in Ordinance No. 213. '
Resolution No. /�99 � . �

11. On September 5, 1967 , effective January 1, 1968, Ordinance 93
established the first B-2 Lakeshore Commercial District. The Stubbs
Bay Resort property was among the areas so designated. The legal
description for the B-2 district was written to include Parcels 1 - 4
plus adjacent Lot 25 :
B-2 LAKESIDE �O��IERCIAL
The following property in the north 1/2 of Section
5, To�,7nship 117, ..Range � 23; Block 7 of .Bayside Addition
and Lots 21, 22 and 25 of Auditor ' s Subdivision ��203 .
(See Exhibit D-2)
12. This commercial zoning occurred almost 1 year after the end
of the 1957 10-year amortization period. At the time it occurred,
according to Keiran.' s 1967 license application, Parcels 1 - 4 plus
Lot 25 were rezoned but only Parcels 2 & 3 were being commercially
used. Parcel 1 may or may not have been owned or used by Keiran.
Parcels 4 & 5 were separately owned and used as homestead residen tial.
: Lot 25 was and is also separately owned in common with residential
Lot 24. Lot 25 was and is also under water. .
13. Keiran' s 1968 plan (Exhib it L) and application was for a
revised dock layout and an increase from 18 to 32 boats . Still
�
only Parcels 2 S: 3 are shown on the plan. A public hearing was •
held and objections are on record but the license was issued.
14. City licenses issued 1968 through 1973 were for 31 boa ts
(13 rental boats plus 18 rental slips) including the first licensing
of rental slips .
15. A 1969 boat inventory for the Harza Report counted 25 boa ts
at the Stubbs Bay Resort. �
16. The 1970 license (for 31 boatts) specifically noted a required z
side setback of ten feet for docks .
17 . Keiran sold Stubbs Bay Resort, on �ontract for Deed, to
McCleary on April 25, 1973. The 1973 City license was applied
for and issued to Keiran for� 31 boats. McCleary never applied
to the City for a license transfer or a new 1973 dock license.
•

18. McCleary did apply to the LMCD on June 20, 1973 for an -
LMCD dock license wherein he certified "that no changes are to � �
be made in the dock use area . . . . during the 1973 season; . that .
the scaled drawing or certificate submitted with last year ' s -
application will be appli�able to the license applied for ;" �
The attached �nap submitted to the LM�D showed new docks and
"60 boats". See Exhibits M-1 and M-2.
19 . TicCleary on August 13, 1973 did apply to the City for a
�onditional Use Permit for food sales attaching thereto a site �
plan clearly showing the use of only Parcels 1 - 3. See Exhibit N. � �
20. Mc�leary in 1974 applied to the City and was licensed for
31 slips on April. l, 1974. The plan submitted (Exhibit 0) was
identical to Keiran's 1968 Dock Plan (Exhibit L) and clearly � •
shows the "North Property Line" showing use of Parcels 2 & 3 only,
not Parcel. 4. This license application was never revised.
21 . McCleary purchased the Fulkerson property, Parcels 4 & 5,
� in April, 1974. .
22. McCleary constructed a new dock layout not in conformity
with the �ity license. The layout encroached and used Parcel 4
for the first time. The structure contained 75 slips , not 31 .
See the Inspector's letter and map of July ll, 1974, Exhibits
P-1 and P-2. � .
23. McCleary' s res�-sonse ort July 16, 1974 admits expansion without
�ity .approval and expansion onto residential property. McCleary
�laims LMCD approval for 60 slips based upon an attached map
indicating 48 slips. See Exhib its Q-1, Q-2, & Q-3. .
24. The City Council 's response to this:. position is contained
in the Minutes af th�e July 23, 1974 meeting: �
"The City Council instructed the Administrator to .
• draft a letter to Mr. James McCleary stating that
the City sets the precedent for the licensing of
marinas, not tfie Lake Minnetonka Conservation District, .
and that he would have to curtail the usage of his •
• residential usage and abide by zoning •standards for
� that �property at 3470 Bayside Road:"
Resolution No. /0,99
� Page 22 '
25. Attention in 1974 and 1975 was directed at proposals for
creating a restaurant on the property and for review of "BURAK' S •
STUBBS BAY MARINA �AFE", with soup and sandwich approval granted
by Resolution No. 575 on February 25 , 1975 . �
26. The 1974 �ity wide zoning code amencL-nents were adopted
December 19 , 1974 becoming effective January 1, 1975. B-2
performance standards were revised. The legal description of
the B-2 zone in Stubbs Bay was not changed despite 1973 and 1974
problems and statements regarding "residential" property (Parcel ,
4 and Lot 25) . "
27 . Mc�leary' s 1975 City license application was for 66 slips in
the same dock layout constructed in 1974. Mc�leary stated his
1974 LMCD license was for 66 slips when in fact it was for 60 slips
based upon a 48 slip plan. .
28. McCleary entered into a 73.025 "Operations Agreement" with the �
City on May 15, 1975 and Resolution 604 was adopted on that date
� issuing a license for 66 slips to Stubbs Bay Marina per the plan
attached as Exhibit R. Parcel 4 was included but "residential
docks removed" was noted on the original drawing.
29 . McCleary' s 1976 licerise application requested another increase
to 66 water slips plus 36 land slips, total 102 boats . -
30. A site inspection on June 18, 1976 recorded 66 water slips �
plus 4 slips still o� the "residential" (Parcel 4) property.
31. � The 1976 license No. 1205 was issued 'for 66 water plus 36
land slips .
32. On November 10, 1976, McClea�ry applied for a Building/Conditional
. Use Permit (File ��201) for construction of a two-story restaurant-
marina building, see Exhibit S.
33. On November 16, 1976, the existing marina office/tavern �
. building was destroyed by fire. . .
� 34. On January 24, 1977, application �k201 was denied by Council:

35 . McCleary' s 1977 license application requested another
increase to 72 water slips plus 120 land slips , total 192 boats , �
with the notation that "boat rental ceased in 1976".
36. On February 17 , 1977, McCleary' s bui?ding plans were revised �
up to an 80 X 200 ft . building (File No. 234) which then was �
revised down to a 40 X 80 ft. service building without restaurant
approv�ed by the Council on March 17 , 1977. See Exhibit T. �
37 . On Nay l7 , 1977 , McCleary' s 1977 .LMCD license application
was sent to the City including a site plan showing Parcels 1 - 3
only, excluding Parcel 4 (Exhib it U-1) , and a tri.angular dock use
� area and new dock plan (Exhibit U-2) providing for 66 slips in •
the dock use area for Parcels 1 = 3, excluding Parcel 4. �

. the Marina regarding dock rental for 1979 . ' • .
63. The 1974 docks still remain in place except where they have •
deteriorated and collapsed due to ice damage and deferred maintenance.
• D. DEVELOPMENT TRENDS '
. 1. The Stubbs Bay Resort was originally conceived and developed
� as a fishing access port serving a limited neighborhood and a small
number of "resorters". Conunercial activity consisted of cabin
.rental, boat rental and bait sales . .
2. Initial development consisted of construction of the . small
cabins plus a .re,sort.,office. _
� 3. A limited number of docks were constructed to tether the
fishing boats . � .
4. At some point, the resort began serving as a neighborhood
` tavern adding on-sale beer to the tcommercial activity.
t
5. In April of 19.54, a Township Building Permit was issued for
a "log, siding cabin (SIC) " which apparently was the building used
as the tavern and resort office, at least since that time.
6. Upon sale of the resort to Keiran in 1956, the activities
remained as above. � '
� . . . : .
Resolution No. /Dy'� � ,r-
; `� Page 27
7 . Rental of "boat slips" as opposed to "boats" only did ,
not begin until 1968, 54 years after the Resort was established. '
8. Ev�n then, concnercial activity did not expan.d until McCleary
became owner/operator in 1973. Upon his purchase, the number of
boats proposed to be kept on the property immediately increased
over 100%. Stubbs Bay "Resort" became Stubbs Bay "Marina".
9 . After McCleary ' s purchase, the neighborhood tavern became
"Burak ' s StLbbs Bay Marina Cafe" and food sales were instituted
or greatly e�panded. .
10. Between 1973 and 1976, McCleary proposed expansion of boat
density irom 31 to 102 or 330%. Boat rental ceased in 1976 in
favor of slip rental only. � -
. 11. Between 1973 and 1977, Mc�leary proposed several times
that a full service restaurant./bar/lounge be constructed and
operated on the site. The existing structures were proposed
� to be replaced with various new buildings, some as large as
16, 000 sq. ft, and/or two stories high.
12. �In 1978, Johnson' s proposal was originally made as a
"private dock club" for slip rental to a Iimited number of
private club members . �
IV. RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE CITY COUNCIL
_ , , .
A. EVO�UTION OF THE STUDY � .
l. The citizens and elected officials of Orono have been deeply
involved in land use planning and; environmental protection ever
since the post war development surge when the Town Board enacted
the first zoning regulations in 1950. Aqfter incorporation, the.
Village Council continued the periodic review and amendment of
zoning regulations . The national environmental thrust of land
, planning was anticipated in the early 1960 ' s when the first
septic system and wetlands ordinances were instituted. The �•
active development of comprehensive plans dates to 1965. Orono 's
first published Comprehensive Guide Plan in 1974 was among the
� few local plans to receive Metropolitan �ouncil review and approval.
Resolution I�'o. /0�9
Page 28 �
�
. 2. The 1976 Metropolitan Land Planning Act mandated review of
Orono ' s 1974 Guide Plan, but major changes in Metropolitan Plans ,
. the energy crisis and resulting shift of' development pressures
to the inner city, and a four year history of experience using
the plan, all combined to establish 1978 as the year for intensive
study and review of the City' s established goals and policies . �
3. Into this climate came the situation involving the Stubbs Bay
Marina property. McCleary had been actively pursuing many various
plans for increasing the commercial use of the property. T`he
fire and resulting lack of pY�ysical development or maintenance
drastically changed the factual situation from that existing in
1974 when the existing Comprehensive Guide Plan and Zoning .
Ordinances were being developed. Then, in the fall of 1978,
Johnson approached the City Council with yet another plan for
� commercial develop�nent of the property:
4. The Council and the City staff spent several months reviewing
� the then informal plans with Johnson. Many issues were uncovered,
many factual questions arose. �
�
S. Upon receipt of a� formal license application from Johnson in
January of 1979, formal review began. The Planning Commission
was involved. Staff �was directed to carefully review past history
at the marina, past lake use history, general area-wide planning
concerns and past �ouncil policy regarding planning and marina
, licensing..
6. Because the facts, and issues were complex, involving not only
the marina but the entire Stubbs Bay Area , the City staff and
� 1'lanning Consultant both recommended that the Council adopt a .
general moratorium to permit proper an d complete review of the .
land use planning concerns involved. �
7 . 0� January 23, 1979, the City `Council adopted Ordinance No. 219 ,
. establishing the Moratorium for six months . The City Council also
called a Public Hearing for the most general involvement of the
. public in the planning process . Council directed that all possible
resources be tapped for review. The Council directed staff to
gather recommendations from the public, city consultants , local �
- experts , the Planning Commission, other applicable government
: agencies and various City staff inembers having departmental interest
� in de�elopment of the area.
Fesolution No. /D 9� �

8. The result of this review is this Resolution setting forth
the findings, recommendations , conclusions and directives
` resulting from the complete study of the facts and issues . . �
B . THE NEIGHBORS AI��D GENERAL PUBLI� .
l. The City �ouncil receiv ed written and verbal comments and
reco�nmendations regarding the Stubbs Bay Study Area and the
proposed develop:nent of the Stubbs Bay Marina Property from _
residents� of the area . . All co�r►ments and letters were entered
in the record of the Public Hearing held on February 27, 1979 .
i
2. The Public Aearing was advertised in the official newspaper
of Orono (The Lake Minnetonka Sun) on February 7, 1979,
February 14, 1979 and February 2I, 1979 . All residents and
property owners affected by or adjacent to the moratorium area
were also sent a direct-mailed notice explairiing the issues to
b e dis�ussed. See Exhibit Y attached.
3 : Fifty (50) persons signed a�n attendance list as being present
�i at the Public Hearing. The Council minutes recorded general .
discussion as well as specific conunents by identified individuals .
4. A petition signed by 42 persons was entered into the record
stating:
"Whereas the undersigned Stubbs Bay area resident and
concerned citizens recognize the fragile ecologic and
demograph•ic�balance of Stubbs Bay, we hereby petition all
authorities with jurisdiction regarding Stubbs Bay usage .
� to deny authorization for a marina in any form at the site
of the present Stubbs Bay Marina . It is apparent that the
present "spot" zoning is nonconforming and out of character
with the neighborhood and environs . We believe the present
marina site should be returnec� to residential zoning
category. In the meantime, under no circumstances should
the numbers of slips be increased. "
5. A petition signed by 32 persons was entered into the record .
stating:
"We support the application of George R. Johnson for
� a permit and license to rebuild. and operate the
Stubbs Bay� Marina ."
.Resolution No. /099 '
� Page 30
6. Three letters were received from Stubbs Bay Area residents
and/or property owners stating views against the Marina proposals
and one letter from a resident stating views favoring the
proposals . �

Stubbs Bay Area , .
8. Mr. Douglas �arney, attorney, and Air. John Howe, architect, .
spoke for Mr. Johnson explaining details of the Johnson proposal
for Tiarina development and answering qUestions regarding sGme.
9. At least eight identified persons spoke for the record •
regarding their opinions concerning study area an d marina
development most speaking in opposition to marina development. �
10. An informal poll was taken of persons present at the hearing.
The Council minutes state:
"It appeared that the majority present favored a limited �
� use of the area as it is now, opposed to a full marina
use, although the poll was not conclusive. "

D. GOVERI�TMENT REGULATIONS
1• The Lake Minnetonka Conservation District, established
by the State Legislature in 1967, . regulates use of the
lakeshore and public waters of Stubbs Bay by the rules and
� regulations contained in LMCD Ordinance No. 1. Sections
applicable to Stubbs Bay NL�rina include the followin :
g
a- ) "Section 2. 04; No Vested Rights . No person holdin
a license or permit pursuant to the ordinances of the g
district shall gain thereby a vested right in the license
or permit. The use of the lake shall remain subject to
regulation as the public interest requires . "
b. ) Section 3�. 02 provides criteria and performance standards
for maximum allowable encroachment of private structures
into the public waters . T'he maximum "authorized dock use
area" applicalile to the Stubbs Bay Marina property is shown
on attached Exhibit AA-1, a copy of the Johnson proposal
� and Exhibit AA-2, a copy of the `clocks erected in 1974 by
Mc�leary which dock re�nants are still in place in 1979,
Neither the Johnson proposal nor the 1974 McCleary docks
confonn to these LMCD requirements . McCleary' s 1977 dock
- plan (,Exhibit U-2, proposed but never erected) is the only
dock plan since Keiran's 1967 plan (Exhibit K-2) which meets .
. these LMCD requirements .
� .
Resolution No . /4 99
Page 32 , �
� . .
c. ) Section 3. 03 provides for dock construction standards . '
"Subd. 3; Safety: Multiple docks or mooring areas and �
commercial docks may be constructed of such materials and
in such manner as the owner determines , provided that they �
shall be so built and maintained that they do not constitute � � �
a hazard to the public using the waters of the lake. " .. : �
i�icCl�ary in his January 15, 1978 letter to the City . . � �
(Exhibit V-1) and the City in Resolution No. 943 and , '
Resolution No. 1005 have both identified the remains of
the 1974 docks as having deferred maint�nance to the
�oint of being hazardous to the public.
� :.;>•:--:-.:::
d. ) Section 3. 08 provides for licensing of multiple docks.
Subdiv. 2 provides in part that license applications
contain ". . . . . a showing that all requisite permits ,
licenses and approvals from the local municipality have
been obtained . . . . " which was clearly not the case in •
1973 when Keiran received a �ity Iicense for 31 slips
and McCleary applied for and .receiv ed a LMCD license
• for 60 slips without notifying the �ity. Subdiv. 6 " .
• provides in part that ". . . a licens ed multiple dock or
mooring area shall be maintained in a structurally safe
' condition and shall be maintained in a neat, clean and
orderly conditi on at all times . " .
2. The Minnehaha Creek Watershed District, formed May 9, 1967, �
by order of the Minnesota Water Resources Board acting under
authority of the State Legislature, regulates use and development
or alteration of all lands within the Watershe.d including all
lands in the Stubbs �ay �Study Area . The adopted Rules and
Regulations of the MCWD applicable to the Stubbs Bay Marina �.• •
property include the following: �
a. ) General Policy: "The purpose of the MCWD regulations
is to protect the public health and. welfare, natural assets �
and resources of the district, and to i{nsure orderly -
development of the land adjacent and contiguous to Minnehaha
�reek and other streams, lakes and marshes of the watershed . �
district. " , ' �
"The managers are also concerned with the protection of the � ' .
natural topography and vegetative setting of the land and . �
• water areas of the district in order to preserve the same
for 'present and future beneficial uses and to prevent unwise
and destructive development. " ,
Resolution No. /D�9 •
� Page 33
. b. ) . Local Government Responsibility: "In the management
- of the land areas of the district, the primary control .
and determination of land use remains with the local
municipalities ; however, as development pressures increase,
it becomes essential that the critical land and water areas
to be retained be identified in the municipal land development
guid�s , drainage plans, and in the municipal flood plain and
shoreland ordin�nces . Once such ar�as are identified, they
should be further protected by appropriate zoning and by
assessment and taxing policies of the municipalities ."
c. ) Flood Pla in Regulation: "The managers decla re that
because of private and public expenditures in the improvement
and development of the land and water areas subject to
inundation by flood waters , it is in the best interests of
the public health, safety and welfare to plan and regulate
the development 'of the land area abutting the lakes,
permanent watercourses and marshes of the district in
accordance with sound scientific principles and data .
• In addition to the standards and criteria of local ordinances ,
improvements will not be allowed in the shore and/or flood
plain areas that will adversely affect the ability of the
marshes , swamps or adjacent shorelines to act as a filter
to the permanent surface waters of the district, and thereby
. prevent or reduce pollutional discharges directly to such
waters or adversely affect the efficiency or unduly_ restrict
the water-carrying capacity of the channel . "
d. ) Dred'ging in or. Related to Water Areas : "The managers
desire to .minimize detrimental environmental change to
- public waters, to maintain natural shoreline characteristics
and to maintain and improve general recreational and wildlife-
fishery characteristics of lakes and streams.
'-t.
A permit from the watershed distri�ct will �e required prior
to any dredging in the beds , banks or shores of any permanent
' watercourses , lakes or marshes of the district.
. _.Dredging will not be allowed above the ordinary or natural
ordinary highwater mark onto the abutting shoreland or into �
upland areas adjacent to public waters . In the case of Lake
Minnetonka , no dredging will be allowed above Elevation 929 .4
� M.S .L. (1929) datum.
Resolution No. �099 '
• Page 34
Applications for permits to dredge in the beds of the .
public waters will be considered solely for projects �
that can be limited to maintenance dredging or remova 1 �
of siltation. . � ,
Applications will not be considered for dredging in the
beds , banks ,�or shores of public waters , or of tributary
streams or� watercourses , permanent or intermittent,
which would provide for the enlargement of a natural
�aatercourse or the artificial creation of a channel to
connect adjacent backwater land areas to the applicable � .
lake or stream of the district. " �
� e. ) Other Work in beds and banks of water areas :
"It is the policy of �the board to deny permits for work
. . . .in t�e beds or banks. of public waters unless it is in .
� the public interest and consistent with state policy, �
� municipal l�and development guides and drainage pla�ns , and �
• ' in conformity with. the overall plan of the district. "
f: ) Municipal Drainage Plan: -
. � ."Since surface water can be up to, ten times as nutrient-
� laden as raw sewage and since the board of managers has
� ' previously required setting or filtration basins in new . .
, .storm water drainage systems discharging directly to the
. waters of the district, it is the policy of this district
� to avoid d�i"rect surface water drainage to Minnehaha Creek,
. - � Lake Minnetonka and all •other public waters of the district. " �
"It is the policy of th� managers that each municipality
shall prepare a municipal drainage plan for the management
and transportation of surface water :resulting from urban
� - development. Each municipality and thez district should
identify in the municipalities ' land development guides and
.� � drainage plans the swamps and marshes to be left in their
. � natural state.,� Such designated areas should not be used as �
� . dumps, fill. sites , or otherwise altered without specific -
written permission of` the managers . "

Resolution No. /D 99
Page 35 � .
�
"In order to provide for coordinated management of surface � . \
waters , a developer of land shall submit to the municipality
a surface water drainage plan which is in conformity with �
the municipal drainage plan. In the absence of an approved
municipal drainage plan, the municipality and the developer
of land adjacent to lakes, permanent watercourses and marsh
areas which are directly tributary to such water areas rriust
file a drainage plan with the district and obta in the
manager 's approval of the drainage plan prior to the commence-
ment of any land improvement. " :::
� g. ) Land Use and Soil Characteristics : , , .
"The managers discourage the development of land areas
where sanitary sewer is not available, areas �with inadequate
soils , and areas unsuitable for on-site soil absorption � �
sewage disposal facilities . " � .
"A11 permit applications for land improvements shall show the
soil type and the soil limitations for the intended land use as
� stated in the "Hennepin County 1969 Soil Survey Report. If
soils limitations for the intended use are stated in the above
reports, a plan or statement indicating the conservation
practice or practices to be used to overcome soil limitation
shall be required as part of the permit application. "
h. ) Placement of Structures on Lots Riparian to Public Waters:
"The managers desire to establish setback. requirements for
new or replacement structures, other than boat houses, piers, � " �
and docks , located on the shoreline of public waters within
the district in order to provide safe and sound building sites .
and to preserve the aesthetic qualities of shoreland areas .
It is the intent of the managers �that setback requirements
for shoreland areas within the district conform with the �
standards established by the Department of Natural Resources �
pursuant to Minnesota Statutes Section 105.485 for various I
classes of public waters whether or not public waters within I �
the district are formally so classified. "

"The minimum setback for all new or replacement structures ,
, except boat houses , piers and docks , on any lake in the
district shall be at least 75 feet from the ordinary or �
natural ordinary high �aater mark in conformity with the
standards established by the Department of Natural Resources
for .general development lakes . In reviewing applications
' for variances for replacement struc�ures or for new structures
in areas that have already been platt�d and approved or
partially developed, the �anagers will consider existing
adjacent � structures and patt�rns of dev�lopment. Any such
construction must also be approved by the municipality in
, which the property is located. " �
i. ) Erosion and Sediment Control:
' "The managers are concerned with minimizing the erosion that
often results from land alteration. It is the policy of
the managers to require all proposed construction projects
affecting the waters of the district to provide adequately
for erosion protection and sediment control and for such
� � plans to be submitted for district review. The managers
intend to take no action hereunder which is inconsistent
with the Ordinances , Regulations or Guidelines of the Lake
Minnetonka Conservation District. The municipalities within
the district will be the vehicle for the submission of
development plans to the district. " � �
The .Johnson proposal includes work requiring review of all
of the -above nine areas of policy concerns and regulations
established by the MCWD.

� l. Harza Report, January, 1971: A program for preserving the
quality of Lake Minnetonka prepared for the P�A by �the University
of Minnesota Limnological Research Center, Eugene Hickok and
Associates, Barr Engineering and Harza Engineering �ompany.
The report found that Lake Minnetonka was being degraded (polluted)
by point service pollution coming principally from on-site sewage
disposal systems, and by non-point sources entering the Lake in �_ -
direct storm water runoff. .
The conclusions and recommendations of the Harza Report dealt
with the two pollution sources indeperidently: _
� � �
, a) The Report recommended elimination of on-site sewage
treatment �disposal) systems, collection of all waste
water (sewage) by municipal sewer systems and diversion
. of the waste water out of the watershed to the Blue Lake � �
waste water treatment plant. Orono ' s 73-1 sewer project � •
' was instigated partially as a response to this recoirunendation.
� . • � .
. ,
Resolution No. /D99 . .
Page 49
� '
b) The Report concluded that: "Storm water, especially
" that portion which runs off from urban lands , is expected •
to beco�ne an ever more important source of phosphorus in
the future. The data collected for this study indicate
that some mechanism, probably deposition and utilization
in �rarshes , is reducing the phosphorus carried in streams
tributary to the lake below levels anticipated from a
review of the literature. "
"The construction of storm sewers or paved channels would
allow much of the stonn water to by-pass marshes, and
curtail this benefit presently derived from them. By
anticipating problems of localized flooding, development
can be restrained in those areas , and storm water can be
allowed to meander through" the marshes. "
"Marshes provide a diversity in the kinds of open space
available within the region. Perhaps more important, they
provide a habitat which is uniquely suited for certain
• birds and mammals . They can b e utilized to provide stora ge
of storm runoff.with minimal disruption to their function
as a habitat for wildlife and their apparent ability to
reduce the phosphorus input to the lake. "
"Marshes and small Iakes in the watershed aggregate nearly
as much area as the main body of Lake Minnetonka. Therefore,
their potential � for supplying water to the subsurface
formati,ons is appreciable. "
- " "In order to continue to protect the lake by removing
phosphorus , to preserve the unique open space habitat, and
to maintain the potential for ground water recharge,
preservation of the marshes is desirable. This can be
fostered by minimizing the construction of storm sewers
and drainage culverts, and by minimizing the deepening
and widening of drainage channels . " ,

Resolution No. /D 5� .

� '
c) The Report then recom*nended: ". . that the present policy
- of preserving lakes and marshes from filling be continued. �,
It is further recommended that the future construction of .
storm sewers be minimized to those required to alleviate
local problems . Storm runoff from the watershed should
� be encouraged to flow over marshes , not through them in
conduits or around them. "
"An attempt should be made to locate those areas adjacent
to marshes which may be flooded intermittantly because of
increased runoff caused by future developments . These
areas should be resei-ved from further development just `as •
though they were a portion of the adjacent marsh. "
2. Preliminary Engineering Report, Sanitary Sewers in the Stubbs .
� Bay Area, November, 1975, by then �ity Engineer, Mc�ombs-Knutson
Associates.
Ground water sampling was done in 1974 which ".•. . . showed high
• chloride and surfactant concentrations that are indictive of
contamination. The samples from the unnamed tributary to Stubbs
Bay showed high Fecal �oliform counts , which are indictive of
pollution from individual sewage disposal systems (drainfield
overflow) . " The report studied the feasibility of sewering the
Tonka, �restview and East Lake Street areas with a collection
system. 'Itao alternative disposal mea'ns were investigated. An
on-site drainfield near Bayside Road �and Leaf Street or a
connection to .a ,planr�ed iriterceptor sewer farther away.
"The recommendation of the" 1974 and 1975 report(s) was that
sanitary sewer facilities should be installed to prevent the
continued contamination of the ground water and Lake Minnetonka''
from point source pollution. � `

3. Dr. John Woods , Director of the University of Minnesota Gray
Freshwater Biological Institute evaluated the Johnson application
� for development of the Marina property. His response is attached
as Exhibit CC. �
Dr. Wood' s recommendation based upon environmental impact on Stubbs
Bay was that "Since Stubbs Bay is small and very shal,low, it is
� clear that a multiple dock for large power boats would make the
situation �eutrophic condition of the bay) worse in several respects . "

4. George Patchin Jr. , MAI, ASA, President of Patchin Appraisals ,
Inc. , at the request of the City, appraised the Marina property �
for the purpose of estimating its ' fair market value under current '
zoning regulations and under variations of the current regulations ,
effective February 1, 1979.
a) The highest and best use value was estimated at $166, 000. 00
assuming current B-2 zoning, 66 allowable slips and provision
of a small restroom/shelter building, including winter storage
and launching fee incom� as per the Johnson proposal.
b) The estimated value would decrease to $124, 000 (decrease •
� of $42,000) if the slips were reduced from 66 to 45 with �
the other conditions remaining the saine as (,a) above.
� c) The estimated value would decrease to $104,000 (decrease
of $62, 000) if the slips were reduced from 66 to 30 or fewer
with the other conditions remaining the same as (a) above.
� d) The estimated value would also be $104, 000 if the property
were rezoned and restricted for residential development only
with 'no commercial dockage or facilities permitted.
e) The estimated value would increase from $104, 000 to
$152, 000 ($14, 000 below highest and best use) if the
property were rezoned to residential but if the 66 slips
and commercial uses in (a) above were authorized to
continue as a legal non-conforming use. The estimated
value would remain at $104,000 if• 30 or fewer slips were
permitted as a .non-conforming use.
5 . Gunnar Isb erg an d the firm of Isberg, Riesenberg, Chelseth

' Page 52 �
� �
Isberg studied the entire Stubbs Bay Area and then prepared
a specific report on "Analysis of the Stubbs Eay Tjarina
�Johnson) Proposal". From the planning aspect Isberg identified
four alternative uses available for the Niarina property: �
a) Leave site zoned for B-2 Lakeshore Business, strictly
apply the existing performance standards to the various
Marina development 'proposals , and� issue permits for -
continued commercial marina use.
b) �reate an additional "Neighborhood" Lakeshore Business
District and rezone the Marina property to this District. �
This would recognize commercial marina uses but would be
. designed to cater to neighborhood marina needs (fueling, � �
launching, etc. ) rather than an emphasis on slip renta 1.
. This district would establish strict performance standards
to protect abutting residential property owners better than �
the B-2 standards .
c) Rezone the site for LR-lA One Family Lakeshore Residential
� development consistent with all surrounding properties . This
would correct a "mistake" of the 1974 plan in designating
a commercial zone outside of the urban area.
d) Acquire the site for a park either as a municipally
operated marina or as some other forxi ot lakeshore
recreational site. This alternative would not necessarily
decrease, and could increase, traffic and other activity
- on the site. -
. , ,
Isberg went on to choose among the above alternatives and
to make a firm reco�mnendation to the Council, as follows :
Recommendation - 'I'he following recommendation is based upon
a technical planning perspec�ive and is based upon the
s previous analysis which deals with future planning and
development of the City of Orono. Every effort �has been
made to consider alternative uses for the site which could
be in conformance with the existing and proposed planning
and development policies for the �ity, while at the same •
time be compatible with the Stubbs Bay Area and neighborhood. .
Because of the location of the site and the characteristics -
� of the area and the site, the number of practical alternatives
are very limited. .

B. Alternative - Create a n'ew I�eighborhood Lakeshore -
Business District Of the various alternatives considered, � � '
an alternative recommendation to the rezoning of the property �
for residential use would be to create a new Neighborhood • � .
Lakeshore Business District, amend the existing zoning
ordinance and rezone the property for this district. It . �
should also be made clear that this new zoning district
would also be applicable to other potential areas of the
city. This district would be specifically designed to
minimize the impact on the neighborhood, and yet allow
. limited lakeshore commercial development including marinas
which specifically meet the needs of the neighborhood or ' - � �
� ge�neral area of" the City. Standards for the number of '
slips and the general size of the marina operation •would
be' developed in relation to several factors including the �
size of the parcel, the length of the shoreline, and the
character of the general neighborhood. In addition, there
could be a requirement that a certain percentage of the �
stips be �designated for use 'by the property owners in the . �
area . This could conceivably reduce the scope of the
• current proposal to one-third or one-fourth of its present
proposed size. In addition, strict standards could be
incorporated in relation to signing, hours of operation, -
maintenance of the area, etc.
� Regardless of the disposition of the current proposal, this
consultant would recommend that the present B-2 Lakeshore �
, Business District be amended to regulate the number of slips � -�
in a marina and that a new Neighborhood Lakeshore Business •
District be created to deal with similar problems elsewhere .
� in the City. The reason for this is that there is likely'
to be increased demands for marinas in the iuture and stricter
standards are necessary . to minimize the a dverse effects of
marinas in residential neighborhood�,.

6. The legal opinions of Bruce D, Malkerson, Attorney for the
�ity and member of the firm of Popham, Haik, Schnobrich, Kaufman �
& Doty, Ltd, are based upon general legal. principles and the
current status of legislation and case law. Legal opinions are .
not policy re�o�rnnendations . Legal opinions are generally applicable
to all zoning and l.and use matters and are not specific opinions
. made to the �ouncit or staff in relation to the Stubbs Bay matter.
General legal interpretations and requirements for the Council to
consider in all land use matters include the following:
a) ?oning code performance standards should be designed to
implement the goals of the Comprehensive Plan of the City.
b) tiomprehensive planning and zoning are for the purpose of
promoting the most general public benefit and may not
necessarily protect or promote the private benefit of every
individual property owner. �
• c) When a City zones or rezones property it acts in a
legislative capacity under its delegated police powers .
As a legislative act, a �rezoning classification must be •
upheld by the �ourts unless the landowner proves that the
classification is unsupported by any rational basis related
to promoting the public health, safety, morals or general
welfare, or the rezoning amounts to a -"taking'' without
compensation. -
dl Even where the reasonableness of a rezoning is debatable,
or where there are conflicting opinions as to the desirability _
of the restrictions it imposes, it is not the function of the
�ourt to interfere with the legislative decision. The record
of the proceedings should show that all sides of an issue
have been �considered and that the decision is supported tio
some extent by facts or opinions in the record,
e) To establish an unconstitutional "taking" ot the property,
the landowner must demonstrate that he has been deprived
through governmental action or inaction of all reasonable
uses of the land. Mere diminution in value in market value
is not such a demonstration, when a reasonable •use of land
• is permitted after the rezoning.

f) Rezoning of property, which is otherwise valid, does not
give rise to an action for damages because the land in
question may be valuable for some other purpose.
F. �ITY STAFF �
l. The comments and recommendation of John Gerhardson, Public
�1�orks �oordinator, stated in a memo dated February 19, 1979 ,
are as follows :
�
"After inspection of the Stubbs Bay Marina Area, it is • '
. my opinion that if a Marina is going to be at that site �
there are two concerns that I have:
a> Drainage - On the north side of that property is a �
drainage ditch that collects almost 100% of the runoff
from Tonka Avenue and par�t of the north side of Bayside
Road (County Road 84) . This must be maintained. There
� will also have to be drainage control on the south side
of the property to prevent any erosion to East Lake Street.
�
b) Access - Depending on the amount of traffic generated
I am sure there would have to be a wider approach and
possibly moved further east. "
2. The comments and recommendation of Melvin Kilbo, Chief of .
Police and Public Safety Director, stated in a memo dated
February 21, 1979, are as follows : .
"In 1978 this (Stubbs Bay Area) reporting zone is next to "
the lowest in total calls . .
' � In reviewing police calls to =.�the area since 1975, I note
there are numerous calls that are involved with the marina
' such as larceny, malicious mischief, and public accidents . �
Any marina use will require general inspectional patrol
service during late evening and early morning hours . �
� � � ' �
Resolution 1�'0. /D91
Page 57 - �
�
This area is out of the mainstream of the busier areas
of general patrol and may suffer somewhat as a result in
frequency of patrol. The response time for both fire and �.
police may be longer because of it 's geographic location.
I h�ve no opinion as to �anat form of d�velopment should
prevail. I will only state that other areas of concern
for land usag� are probably more relevant to this area �han
possible public saiety problems . "
3 . The com�nents and recommendations of Michael Gaffron, Hydrologist
and Environmental Planner, stated in a memo dated February 2, 1979
(Exhibit DD) are as follows : � �
a) The Stubbs Bay Area
"The Stubbs Bay Area encompasses 82 houses, cottages , or
•other habitable buildings . Of these 82, approximately
40 were inspected by me during 1978. Two systems were
• , found to be unquestionably non-conforming (outhouses) .
The great majority of the balance were substandard either
in Iocation near wells or seasonal water table, or in
size of drainfield.
Essentially all the East Lake Street houses are non-coniorming
. according to the Statewide Shoreland Management requirements .
A 1974 study by McCombs-Knutson Associates analyzed ground
arid surface water samples from various locations in the
Tonka Av-enue-�restview Avenue-East Lake Street area . Shallow
� groundwater samples showed high concentrations of chloride
and su?-factants , indicating contamination. Surface water
samples from the unnamed tributary to Stubbs Bay had a high
fecal coliform count, indicating pollution from individual
on-site systems . . �
�:t
4 .
Recent inspection of the northeast Stubbs Bay Area reveals
minimal visible sewage effluent discharging to the surface.
However, complaints or seasonal problems of odors or
discharges have been recorded.
• '
Resolution No. /099
: Page 58
�onclusion - Suspected and known .system failures have
occurred in the northeast Stubbs Bay Area, causing possible
ground and surface water contamination. Possible reasons
for this failure are: 1) tight clay soils which restrict
water movement creating high water tables and hence causing
surface seepage and/or groundwater contamination; or
2) systems undersized for current usage, or 3) systems �
located in high water table/flood plain areas , "
b) The ASarina Property
"The observed water table at the marina site was 18" in
� summer of 1978. The property contains three soil types .
all classified as severely restrictive for drainfields
. under Orono code, due to high 'water tables . • The City is
under no obligation to approve any new drainfields on .
these soils .
� Approximately half of the marina property is below the
100-year flood level, as are about half of the East Lake
� Street houses. In addition, septic systems are prohibited
. in all designated sheet flow areas of shallow flooding in
which the remainder of the property is contained. �
PCA WPC-40 recommended standards prohibit drainfield
_ installation in areas subject to flooding or in flood plains '
. delineated by local ordinances adopted in compliance with
� � State Flood Plai.n Regulations (Minn. Reg. NR85-93) or where
regiona,l flood, plain information is available. "
The Marina property is not suitable for a standard drainfield
system ". . : due to high water table and possible flooding."
"The site is marginal for a�` mound system and determination
o� �iepth to seasonal water t'able becomes a judgment decision. "
A mound system ". . . . could be a source of groundwater
• � contamination during flood periods . "
� �
Resolution No. /o �9
Pa ge 59 �
� .
"The site is suitable for a holding tank system. In
either zones A or B, we would require a sealed system
with check valves to prevent backflow or surface discharge
of sewage if and when tariks were flooded. Anti-flotation
stability of tanks would be of prime concern in either a
holding �ank or mound situation. "
cl Recomrrendations :
"1. Marina Property - A holding tank svstem should be
required for any new buildings . Orono Code would not
allow a septic system, and due to flooding potential �
and depth to ground water, a soil treatment system would .
. have a high risk of ground or surface water contamination.
` 2. East Lake Street Properties - Although there is no
� easy procedure to show that these systems are in fact
� causing pollution of ground or surface water, the potential
for pollution is very g�eat. I would suggest that these
systems be abandoned and tanks be installed or modified to
• � be used as holding tanks until such time that a collector
sewer sys�em is extended to the area .
3. Tonka Avenue-�restview Avenue - Although many of the
houses on these streets may have systems which are disposing
of the effluent they receive, they may not be treating it.
Possible courses of action would b e: �
� a) ,�ontinue with present program of requiring visibly
failing systems to be repaired with alternative systems
- if necessary.� Lontinuously monitor ground water quality.�
b� Install a collector system for off-site treatment
and disposal.
��
c) Require all systems to bes�replaced with alternative
systems if documentation is shown that standard systems
cannot be expected. to function adequately in existing
soil types. "

Zoning Administrator and Building Official, stated in a memo dated .
February 27, 1979 (Exhibit EE) are as fo1loT.as : �
a) Recommendation
"I re�ommend to the City �ouncil that the property commonly'
� known as Stubbs Bay M�rina (legally described as Block 7 ,
Bayside Addition to� Lake Minnetonka and Lots 21 and 22,
Auditor' s Subdivision No. 203) be zoned and restricted for
use as One Family Lakeshore Residential Property, District
LR-lA, consistent with .the zoning designation and actual -
� use of all surrounding properties . -
I support this reconu-nendation with my conclusion as a .
. professional planner that this zoning .designation is :
entirely consistent with the goals, intents and purposes
of the City' s �omprehensive Plans and that any other
designation is inconsistent with those goals, intents , '
and purposes . -
• I further recommencl to the City �ouncil that the future
development and use of the subject property be restricted

appropr�ate for. this property given all neighborhood,
topographic, geographic, ecological, historic and legal �
restrictions imposed on the property by its very loca tion

� . .
Resolution No. /p�9 •
� Page 62
. I. THE PUBLIC INTEREST � •
A. �OMPREHENSIVE PLANNING �
l. �omprehensive Planning is important for Orono to
assure that future growth and development is managed
in the best interests of the general public. T'he
approach is growth management, not growth limitation
and not manageable development. The emphasis is on
providing a rational plan for coordination of public
services with private interests .
2. The Council confirms the findings and conclusions �
of the 1974 Comprehensive Guide Plan regarding the
. paramount objectives of al the preservation of the
quality of Lake Minnetonka as a unique yet fragile •
� ecologicat and recreational asset and b) the maintenance
of tow-density rural land use policies as opposed to
� the expansion of urban development.
• 3 . Restrictive ordinances and regulations have been
• developed and are a �ontinuing necessity to assure
, that speciat interests do not abridge the goals of�
environmentat protection. The preservation of woodlands
and wetlands , lake quality and shoreline integrity are
in the general public interest. Protection of these
natural assets must be paramount to private development
interests . Too often private interests disregard
environmental concerns .
4. Low-density rural residential land use is a "
legitimate "ultimate" land use and is not, in Orono,
to be considered a holding pattern for future development.
The Council confirms the„policy of retaining the existing
t rural areas for low density rural residential development
without urban services , and retaining the existing
urbanized areas for medium density residential and
' neighborhood commercial development. The rural ar eas
of Orono are to remain rural without threat of expanding
urban development.
. � .
Resolution No. /d 99
Page 63 .
�
5 . Premature or unnecessary expansion of urban services
into the rural area becomes a costly burden on the
landowners , thereby forcing increased development �
pressure and a consequent loss of rural character.
The extension of municipal sewer is a particularly
intensive and costly service which will be done only
to relieve documented health hazards in existing
� pockets of development, and then only when such an
extension is the most cost-effective alternative. �
�
�
,
B. ?OI��ING ORDINAN�ES � I:�:
� - .
� 1. The Stubbs Bay Area has been zoned for rural land
use because municipal sanitary sewer and other urban .
services are not currently available.
2. The 1950 decision zoning alI of the Stubbs Bay Area,
including the Resort property, for single family
residential land use was proper because of the then
� existing lack of services and lack of any commercial
use in the area . Even the Resort was then a form of
residential land use.
3. The Resort operated from 1950 to 1968 as a non-
conforn�►ing use in a residential zone, �
• 4. Adherence to the amortization requirements of
Ordinance No. 10 -should have caused the Resort �use to
. have beeri terminated on or before March 10, 1967.
5. The first zoning authorization for any commercial
use in the Stubbs Bay Area came in _ 1967 when the
Resort property was rezoneci from residential to B-2
Lakeshore Commercial. The `permitted and conditional
uses of thetB-2 District included the then existing
uses of the property but excluded uses which have
since beeri added by the operators .
� . _ .
Resolution No. /G �9
Page 64 �
�
6. The Council could have retained the residential
zoning classification of the Resort property in 1967
and still permitted continued operation as in the
past under regulation as a conditional use permit
per Section 32.480 of the 1967 Lode.
7. Leaving the Resort property zoned residential
would have been consistent with the adjoining properties
and with the lack. of urban services to the area .
Zoning of the one property in a significantly different
classification from all surrounding properties can be
considered to have been "spot zoning", which by
definition and implication acts to benefit one property
owner at the expense of neighboring property owners
and the public at large. � .
8. The legal description of the B-2 district adopted
in 1967 erroneously included more property than actually
, owned or used by the Resort and more property than
� intended by the Council. Subsequent entries in the
record show that neither the �ity nor the Resort/Ma rina
operators intended or knew of the inclusion of Parcel 4
and Lot 25 �see Exhibit D-2) in the legal description
until 1978.
9. The Council �erred in not returning the property
� to a residential zoning classification in 1974 as was done
. with other similarly situated cor�ercial properties .
The� Council believed that extenuating circumstances then
existing would serve to adequately control use of the
� property, including studies to extend sewer into the
� area, newly devised zoning and licensing requirements
including operational agreements designed to control
marina impact on neighbaring properties , and the fact
that as of 1974, the marina use had not been significantly
changed or expanded from�historic practices and was even
homesteaded by Keiran through 1973:
10. The intent of the B-2 performance standards adopted �
in 1974 was to reduce the impact of previously uncontrolled
� commercial inarina expansion for the benefit of adj oining
. residential properties and to assure protection of the
Lake against environmental degradation. �
Resolution No. /09� �
Page 65 '
�
11. New information available since 1974, including
the Federal Flood Insurance study, increased local, .
state and federal knowledge concerning sewage treatment
and disposal, increased knowledge of lake ecology and
basic changes in the operational character of marinas
, has become cause for new planning conclusions regarding
commercial lakeshore activity independent of any City
initiated action or policy.
12. In retrospect, the use impact of most marinas in
Orono, including Stubbs Bay Marina , has been greatly
increased since 1974, and is incomparable with the ,
lise existent in 1967 . The existing regulations have
proven ineffective in controlling such growth. The
existing policies have proven ineffective in providing
incentive for private improvement. The ecology of the •
� Lake, and the most general public benefit to be derived
from commercial activities in the Lake, remain in
jeopardy.
� �, BUSINESS LI�ENSES
1. Coirnnercial dock licensing was initiated at a time
when the major a�tivity was boat rental, not retail
sales or slip rental. Resorts included cabins . Boats
were resort owned. Boat use was primarily for fishing
or day use. Partying, late hours ,and noisy motors
were not as prevalent as today with the larger, powered
. , ,
owner-operated craft. The licensing regulations were
designed around the number of boats because the number :
of boats available�for rent was directly proportional
: to the number of patrons and therefore the impact on
the neighborhood. �
-� .
. 2. Dock or slip rental has never been a permitted T
nor a conditional use under the B-2 zoning district
. regulations . �onsequently, licerises have been issued
for a given number of "boats" on the property: In
recent years, the terminology has changed to "slips" -
� � in recognition that the boats were being kept in the
water at all times . The presumption was and is that
a commercial marina has boats available for p�.blic
� rental and/or •some other public service available to
the general� public thereby justifying encroachment into
the public waters . Renting out a piece of public water
for private boat storage �is not in the best interest of
the general public.
' Resolution No. /05'�
-• Page 66
3. Since 1967, and particularly in the mid 70 ' s,
the operators have changed their businesses from
boat rental to slip rental, have added showroom
type sales of new and used boats, parts and �
accessories , have provided gas docks and repair or
service facilities , and have kept additional boats
, on the property "for marina use". Yet the licenses
remain geared to a certain number of "boats" (,slips�, �
whi�h are now but a minor part of many marina businesses .
4. In 1975, as a prerequisite to licensing for that �
year, each commercial marina (including Mc�leary for
Stubbs Bay) entered into an Operational Agreement
setting forth a four year plan for physical improvements
to each property to offset the type of expansion impact
noted above. None of the marinas have completed the
requirements of those agreements.
� 5 . Stubbs Bay Marina has not been in compliance with
licensing requirements since 1973 when Mc�lea ry assumed
ownership from Keiran.
a) In 1973, McCleary operated the marina without a
�ity license (Keiran wa,s licensed) . .
b) In 1974, Mc�leary applied for a license for �" ��•
31 slips but erected new docks for 75 slips
without �ity or LMCD approval. Mc�lear also
began unauthorized use of residential Parcel 4.
' c) In 1974 or 1975, McCleary expanded the Tavern
to an- unauthorized "cafe"�contrary to permitted
uses in the B-2 zone, t .
� , d) In 1975 and 1976, McCleary continued to use
unauthorized slips on residential Parcel 4.
e) Since the fire in 1976, there has been no services
available on site, no sanitary facilities (except
one "satellite" which does not meet licensing
� requirements) , no property maintenance, no dock
maintenance and no security or supervision by marina
employees . -
' Resolution No. ��59
Page 67 .
�
f) The docks in place since McCleary' s 1974
revision have extended beyond the LMCD' s •
authorized dock use area . These same docks � �
have been declared hazardous by Mc�leary and �
the �ity with the owner making no effort to '
correct or secure from use the hazardous
portions . The docks do not meet State Fire
�ode requirements for adequate spacing of
watercraft.
6. As with the zoning regulations, licensing
requirements, procedures and- enforcement have also ,
proven inadequate in controlling commercial activity
for the protection of the public health, safety and
welfare. � -
' II. STUBBS BAY STUDY AREA
A. STUBBS BAY LAKE MINNETONKA
� 1. Stubbs Bay is an environmentally sensitive part
of Lake Minnetonka and is particularly susceptible
� to damage from high-powered watercraft, including
potential loss of navigable access to riparian properties .
' � 2. Stubbs Bay is" remote from the main lake, is
_ residentially developed, and is least suitable for
- , commercial development of any bay in Orono.
. 3:. The amount of boating activity. on Stubbs Bay
- increased dramatically (93%) between 1973 and 1978,
the same years that the marina activity also intensified.
� At the same time there was an insignificant increase
�3%). in residential use'�on the Bay.
. S
4. Maxwell Bay, which must also support all boat
traffic between Stubbs Bay and the main lake, is also
overused and incapable of �withstanding additional
' activity witt�out severe impact to the Lake and to the
riparian property owners .
�
Resolution No. /099
Page 68 �
� -
B. NATURAL LAND FEATURES
1. The steep slopes and marshy flood plains of the
Study Area are not suitable for any development,
residential or commercial. Almost all land suitable
for development has already been occupied by homes ,
most in the area of 100 to 1000 feet from the shore
on the gently rolling slopes .
2. Flood hazard areas adjacent to Stubbs Bay include
� the Marina property and all of the East Lake Street
residential area .
3. On site sewage treatment is impossible in the
flood hazard areas . Effluent may be "disposed of"
• but it is not adequately treated before absorption •
into the ground water table or leeching into the
Lake itself.
• �. HISTORIC DEVELOPMENT
1. The development of the Stubbs Bay Resort and
residential area in 1915 occurred because of development
speculation connected with the Luce Line Railroad, not
� as an extension of existing development. Adverse land
' �and Lake) conditions hindered rather than fostered
� %development a� this location. �
� y , .
2. . The area would have remained a minor development
of summer cabins had it not been for the housing
crunch after World War II.
�
. 3. Had the railroad not been built (the railroad
� itself has proven unecoriiomicl the Stubbs Bay Area
would not have been developed and the Resort would •
likely have never been constructed, particularly
not at this location.
� ,
�
. Resolution No. 1099 '
Page 69
4. The loss of all other commercial activity and
the lack of significant residential development
proves the minimal desirability or need for
development in the Stubbs Bay Area :
- 5 . The only reason the Marina property continues
to receive development pressure is because off-lake
, consumer demand for slip rental has exceeded the
capacity of other marinas located at more accessible,
more navigable sites.
D. TRANSPORTATION -
1. All roadway access to the Stubbs Bay Study Area
is along winding residential streets not designed
to accommodate comnercial traffic .
2. The Iack of public transportation to the Study
• Area reduces accessibility to the general public.
3. Roads in the Study Area are deteriorating and
will require increasing public expenditures to assure
adequate maintenance. No provision. can be made for
increasing capacity.
E. PUBLIC UTILITIES -
. , . .
• 1. Provision of a municipal water supply in the
Study Area is foreseeably economically impossible.
The quality and purity of the ground water supply
must be indefinitely protected to assure adequate
private water supplies. ;
.ti
2. Sewage and waste water generated by the existing �
, development must be adequately treated to protect the
public health and to preserve the quality and life of
Lake Minnetonka. The existing on-site systems have
proven lacking in treatment capability. The existing
� ' systems are generally old, small and located on poor
. soils . Some are obviously located in the water table
or in the flood plain. Major revisions in s�ewage
treatment are required in the Study Area .
�
Resolution No. �099 '
• Page 70
_ 3. Subject to completion of the ongoing sewer studies , •
several options are available including extension of
municipal sewer, creation of a community drainfield
system, reconstruction of existing systems or holding
tank installation. Some existing residences or •
• seasonal cottages may have to be condemned and removed
if no solution is possible. All options are expensive
to the City and to the property owners . The policy
of the City is to achieve the necessary sewage treatment
at the least possible cost. Further development in the .
area should be avoided unless adequate sewage treatment
' is assurable. �
F. HOUSING.
. 1. The majority of the existing housing stock in the
' Study Area is built on lots developed to urban density �
in the rural area. Much of the housing is in the low
• to moderate cost or investment range. .
� 2. Solution of the utility (sewerage) problem will ,
likely be incentive to encourage longer term investment
and increased housing rehabilitation activity. • The
cost of such a solution may however tend to force-out
- existing low income property owners who could not
- afford the cost of such an improvement. •
. 3. "Stabilization of the existing housing situation
� as above will also likely be incentive to encourage
new residential development on the remaining vacant
properties in the Area . �
G. GOVERNMENT SERVICES
'.t•
S '
1. There is little� likelihood of increasing the .level
of fire protection to the Study Area. Water supply
will continue to require tanker transportation. �tesponse
. time will continue to b e primarily affected by distance
to the station and the low speed, curving nature of the �
roads leading to the Area .
•
Resolution No. /0 99
�age 71
2. There is little likelihood of increasing the level
of police protection to the area because of the primarily �
residential needs of the Area and because of the
geographic isolation of the Area , Limited manpower-hours � � �
must be allocated to areas of greater needs .
3. Study area development options appear to have little
or no impact on School District needs .
4. Recreational opportunities in the Area appear to
be satisfied with the improvement of Bederwood Park .
for neighborhood activities . The loss of boat rental �
at the Marina may affect some neighborhood residents
who lack direct lake access .
5. Other governmental services will continue to be �
provided on a rural-residential scale. The increasing
� . . availability. of housing rehabiiitation funds should
• be of particular importance to the low and moderate .
income property owners in the area , and may partially
offset the cost of improving sewer treatment for
those residents.
H, DEVELOPMENT TRENDS
1. A major purpose of this Study is to develop policy �
to foster improvement in the status of the Study Area
properties . As discussed above, improving the utility �
situation should stabilize the area thereby encouraging � .
private development. Rehabilitation of existing housing � �
and development �at rural densities of the existing vacant .
properti'es to a level of such investment in other areas
of the City will be entirely��ticonsistent with the goals
of the Comprehensive Plan.
2. The existing dense developments along Tonka,
�restview and West Lake Streets should have increasing
- levels of housing rehabilitation, but little new � '
development. . '
�
Resolution No, /D99
Page 72 '
�
3. The existing lakeshore and woodland properties
along Bayside Road should experience infill
development at rural densities .
4. The existing cottage development along East Lake
Street has a less secure future. This area has
' major sewage treatment deficiencies and lies entirely
within the flood plain. Extensive rehabilitation
should be discouraged; although improvements for
habitability are required. Extensive rehabilitation
may prove economically unfeasible because of flood
proofing requirements.
� 5 . No neighborhood commercial development needs are
forecast or expected in the Study Area. Commercial
� �pressure for development of the Marina property is
entirely non-local in origin. .
III. THE STUBBS BAY MARINA PROPERTY � �
• A. PROPERTY DESCRIPTION & OWNERSHIP (See Exhibit H)
1. From 1956 to 1973, Keiran owned and operated the
Resort while living on the property. Only parcels
1-3 were involved. The docks licensed and inplace
respected the angled property line between parcels
� 3 & 4 (between Kieran and Fulkerson) .
2. ,Keiran .sold the Resort to McCleary in 1973 after
• which Keiran' s house (cabin) was razed thereby removing
� the last residential use of the property.
3. McCleary purchased the Fulkerson property (parcels
4 &5) in 1974 to expand the marina in front of parcel 4.
�
�
4. Parcel� 2 of the Resort property was homestea ded,
'assessed and taxed as residential property through
1973, and was mistakenly assessed as residential even
'through 1975 after the residential use had been
. discontinued.
� .
. � � �
, �;�. '
Resolution No. /D99 '
� Page 73
" S. Parcels 4 & 5 have continuously been assessed
and taxed as residential property. �
6. Mc�leary' s 1978 sale of parcel 5 by contract
for deed should have included parcel 4 which has �
always been the residential lake access for parcel S .
M�vleary never applied for and has never been granted
a subdivision to separate ownership of parcel 4 and
parcel 5 which are combined in one registered property
abstract. Parcels 4 & 5 combined are less than the
� minimum lot area required in the LR-lA zoning use
district. Loss of parcel 4 would make the residence . ,
on parcel 5 even less conforming, contrary to the '
requirements of the Code. .
7. Parcels 1, 2, 3 & 4 have never been and are still
. not under common ownership as McCleary owns parcel •
4 & S in fee while Kexran owns parcels 1-3 in fee.
� B. NATURAL FEATURES �
1. The entire Marina property is within the HUD . .
defined flood hazard area , with soil types and high
ground water elevations effectively precluding any �
form of on-site sewage treatment system. All sewage '
and waste water generated on the property must be
disposed of off the property, either by means of a
_ collector system or municipal sewer connection, or ,
. , .
by means of truck hauling of wastes from on-site
holding tanks. � � . "
_ 2. All habitable structure construction on the Marina
property must be on fill' with the minimum floor elevation .
no less than one foot above ground level, or 932. 5 MSL, ,
whichever elevation is higher. �
3. The existing condition of the Marina property is such
• .that most vegetation is uncontrolled weeds. Trees are
willow, which are somewhat messy and short Iived, and
elm tahich are prone to die from dutch elm disease. �
� • �
, �
• Resolution No. /099 �
Page 74
�
4. The Marina property is poorly drained, being :
• ' relatively flat and not much above lake level.
, Potholes exist which would need to be filled with
any type of development. The county ditch running
b etween parcels 3 & 4 needs to be maintained.
� . 5. The lake bottom in front of the marina is
particularly shallow and mucky, a condition arising
from the historic land condition (a marshy flood plain) ,
� , previous dredging activities including the original
� filling of the marsh, and the continued use of power .
boats which keep the silt in solution. � �
�. RESORT HISTORY
. 1. Without the speculation involved with the railroad
construction in 1915, the resort would never have been
built on this site,
� . 2, The "creation" of the resort property with dredge �
spoils filling a swamp is evidence enough alon e to
assure that no on-site sewage treatment system could .�
. ever be effective, a
3. . The original resort use was quasi-residential
in character.
4. �The keeping and licensing of a small number of �
fishing boats on the property was consistent with the � �
resort use, even though the property was resid�entially �
zoned from 1950 to 1967 .
5. The property was resi�dentially zoned in 1956 zohen
� ' Keiran acquired it.
6. As early as 1964, the issue of continuing commercial
use of the property was aired and the Keirans were
advised that issuance of fishing boat licenses "does not
necessa�ily constitute approval of extended non-conforming
use of residentially zoned property. " A co�nercial
Mbuilding permit was also denied in 1964.
Resolution No. /099 -
�age 75
7 . Keiran ' s 1967 license application acknowledged �
that the property was residentially zoned and that .� . �
the resort was a non-conforming use. � �.
8. Keiran ' s lzcense application increased from 18 ' �
boats in 1967 to 32 boats in 1968 after adoption
of the new zoning ordinance establishing the B-2
Distri�t. The �.icense was issued for 31 boats
�13 rental' boats and 18 rental slips) despite
neighborhood protests on record. T'his is the first - .
instance of changing the intent of the licensing ��
procedure from licensing of 18 boats (as in the past)
• to licensing of 18 "slips" plus additional "boats".
� 9 . Keiran was licensed for 31 boats in 1973 but sold �
to Mc�leary by contract for deed in April. The City
license was never transferred to Mc�leary. The Resort
was never substantially altered from 1956 through
• 1973 while Keiran was the operator.
10. Mcvleary in 1973 applied for an LMCD license but
with a different dock plan and for 60, not 31 slips .
He incorrectly certified that "no changes are to be
made in the dock use area . . .�. . during the 1973 season;
that the scaled drawing or certificate submitted with
last year ' s <1972) application will be applicable to
the license applied for" despite the major changes
from the" 3T slip Keiran licenses .
11. McCleary applied� for and received a 31 slip City
license in 1974 with a dock plan identical to Keiran ' s :
1968 plan lthe docks were still in placel . Without
prior approval, and contrary to the license, McCleary
then proceeded to erectsan entirely different dock
layout for 75 'slips, including slips encroaching in
front of the newly purchased residential parcel 4.
. 12. The City Council on July 23, 1974, ordered McCleary � --
to cease use of the "residential" property and to abide
by City licensing standards. This record, occurring
� during the final stages of the comprehensive planning
and rezoning process, clearly shows the intention of
keeping parcel 4 zoned residential, without apparent
knowledge of the 1967' legal description. �
Resolution No. /Og9 •
� Page 76 � ' �
, 13. Additionally,. in 1974 and 1975, McCleary attempted
to expand the commercial use of the property by expansion
of the existing tavern into a restaurant or "cafe",
� " _ contrary to 1967 and 1974 use provisions of the zoning
� . code. . .
14. Mc�leary' s 1975 license for 66 slips was an
additional increase in permitted use of the property,
based in part on incorrect sta-tements alleging such a
66 slip license in existence from the LMCD.
15. Mc�leary' s 1975 Operations Agreement with the City
called for certain landscaping and maintenance standards
which have never been completed. � .
�. 16. Mc�leary' s 1976 license application requested
additional boats 50% beyond the increase granted in 1975.
A large marina service and restaurant building was
� � proposed. �learly the intent was to dramatically
increase corranercial use of the property.
17.. Ironically, instead of increasing the property use,
a November, 1976 fire instead presaged a decline in the
property use. New building plans were submitted along
with still another increased request for additional
� boats (total 192 boats compared to 31 in 1974 - increase
619% in three years !) . When a smaller service� building
only, `and no increase in boat density over 1976 was
approved by the �ity, McCleary failed to proceed with :
reconstruction. The docks decayed, the weeds grew and
no on-site services were provided: Only 43 boats were �
kept on the property, less than the licensed amount.
Rumors circulated that the property was for sale.
S
18. In 1977 and 1978, McCleary pursued various requests
for dredging and rezoning, liquor and restaurant permits ,
but did not actively maintain or rebuild the property
� despite dock license approval and building permit issuance. •
j� . •
Resolution No. /09�
•Page 77
19. The building permit eventually expired in
April, 1978, 120 days after issuance, and 13 months � � -
after Council approval. McCleary did not try to begin . � �
construction until August, 1978, 4 mon-�hs later, then �
only after additional actions by the Council convinced
McCleary that more ambitious plans would not be .
approved. "
20. By summer of 1978, much new infornation concerning
the Stubbs Bay Area and the n4arina Proaerty was avail- .
able for Council consideration than had been available " �
in 1967, 1974, or even 1977. This zncluded the HUD �
Flood Plain studies, septic system design information, �
lake use studies, information supplied by McCleary in �
� his various applications, a general overview of the
development pressures and direction of all marinas , a � .
realization of the development intentions of McCleary, �
� and an experience with the effectiveness of existing
regulations. Much of this new understanding is embodied
� in Ordinances 210 and 213, and Resolutions 929, 936,
943, and 971.
21. �he Council confirms again the 1978 decision that
no additional authorizations would be approved for
the Marina Property until the owner/operator had • f irst _
submitted one coordinated plan, including adequate
survey information, to assure that all concerns and
requireanents could be addressed in one organized
manner, rather than the piecemeal approach attempted
since 1974.
22. Johnson' s proposals of 1978 were all made on an
informal basis and, therefoxe, received only informal •
� review and comment from the�Council.
T
23. The Johnson involvement did serve to draw new
attention to the status of the. property and the lack
of a current comprehensive City policy regarding the � ;:..:.;;:;'._:
Stubbs Bay Area. - . � �
� . • , .
� ,
Resolution No. /099
Page 78 �
�
24. Johnson' s formal license application in February,
1979 caused formal review of his development plan. -
After deep study by the Council, reviews by the City -
staff, and comments by the public at the public hearing,
the Council decided th at the Johnson plan was too
ambitious given the needs of the area and the environ-
mental constraints of the site. Certain technical
difficulties or discrepancies were also found in the
plan.
25. The Council conceptually disapproved the scope :
of the Johnson plan in Resolution 1005, and called for
th is Resolution to set forth all the f indings in th e �
record and the conclusions evident and made from
those findings.
26. The conceptual denial apparently caused Johnson
to abandon his involvement with the property. .
� 27. McCleary thereafter notif ied the City that he
would be responsible for the property. The City
staff then notified McCleary that the 1979 dock
license for Stubbs Bay was not in order. As of
April 16, 1979, McCleary had not returned a dock
_ license application although he had been sent the
� form in December, 1978 along with all other 1978 Marina
licenses. .
28.. McCleary has proceeded to advertise dock space
for rent and to make arrangements for operation in-
•- 1979 despite �clear City direction that a ,proper
license application and physical improvements need
be made before a 1979 license would be issued. In
particular, no attempt has been made to correct the
� existing dock structure `condition or setback viola-
tions. .
29. For the record, since the Johnson involvement
began in 1978,. notice of every Council meeting involv-
' ing the Marina Property, including copies of all �
documentation and staff reports supplied to� the Council
for their review, has been given to all interested
� . parties alike, including Johnson, McCleary, McCleary' s
. . attorney of recoxd, Keiran, and Keiran' s attorney of
record. �

D. DE��ELOPMENT TRENDS
1, The Resort was a relatively passive, quasi-resi-
dential land use for 60 years prior to McCleary' s .
involvement wiLh the property.
2. After NcCleary' s involvement with the property,
the "Resort" became. the "Marina" and commercial
activity increased dramatically. Plans for even
more cam,-nerical activity have been continually
' presented. There is no indication that ricCleary
� � is conLent to use the property to the same degree
� as it was when he purchased it.
3. The physical constraints of the property,
� particularly the lake bed condition and the flood
� plain hazards, place severe constraints on use of
the property beyond any zoning regulations.
4. Residential use of the property would be possib le
• given the physical constraints. Residential use of
the property would be consistent with the past use
� of the property and with all surrounding land use.
Residential use of the property would have less of
an adverse environmental impact on the Bay than
� would any commercial use.
5. A limited form of commercial marina use of the
property would also be possible given the physical -
� � constraints and would continue the past Resort type
�� If
� . activity. Fishing type boats have less environmental
impact on the Bay than larger power craft. Boat
rental benefits the general public more than slip
rental. A number of slips consistent with the 1974 .
level has less adverse environmental or neighborhood
impact� than does a higher number of slips.
6. O�tside commerical pressures and speculation tend
� ' to emphasize intensive commercial activity on all
marina properties. Given the neighborhood and environ-
mental constraints, such development appears inappro-
� � priate for the Stubbs Bay property.
Resolution No. �099
Page 80 ' .
•
7. Either residential or limited commerical marina
use of the Stubbs Bay property is a reasonable use
of property within the legal definition of such. '
Prohibition of unlimited or �greatly expanded commer-
cial activity is not a legal "taking" of any property
rights but would instead be a recognition of the
historic use of the property and the physical con-
straints of the property. '
8. Any developTnent on the property, whether residential
• or some form of commercial marina operation, is
considered by the Council to be "new" development
because the only activity remaining on the property �
• since the 1976 fire is the non-conforming rental of
. slips on the public waters. The docks in place are
structurally deficient and have been declared hazardous
� by both the City and the owner.
9. Lack of cohesive City policy on an appropriate
� permanent or ultimate use of the property will only
lead to further tug-of-wars between neighborhood . and
public concerns and private development pressure.
IV. RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE CITY COUNCIL
. A. STUDY MERITS .
1 . The Council does not lightly commission "studies"
and-opposes the use of "studies" as delaying tactics .
Instead, in depth land use or policy studies are
commiss�ioned when important fact questions or policy
questions require detailed review before a well-seasoned
conclusion is made or action is ordered.
2. The Orono City Council and Planning Corra�ission
members have collectively invested thousands of hours
with citizens and professional experts in the
development and refinement of the .City' s land use
policies, goals and plans over the last 25 years .
� � .
. �
• Resolution No . /099 .
• � Page 81
3. The City Council and Planning Commission members
have established a record of open-minded review of
new proposals or new fact situations as they arise
and affect existing policies, goals and plans o f the
City.
4. The subject Stubbs- Bay Area and Stubbs Bay Marina
Study has likewise been undertaken to assure fu11
review of all the facts and full opportunity for
participation of aIl interested parties . 1he v,7idest .
. possible range of advice and input has been gathered .
and considered by the Council in their review of '
the issues . '
S . The conclusions drawn from this study, and. any � �
subsequent decisions or actions undertaken, are
therefore made by the Council in full knowledge of
past facts , full awareness of all reasonable alternatives , �
• and full understanding of possible effects on the City,
the neighborhood and the specific properties in question.
. . B. NEIGHBORHOOD AND CITIZEN CONCERNS .
1. The turnout at the February 27 , 1979 Public Hearing
. � indicates strong neighborhood concern and involvement
in the decision making process . '
. 5 . . , "
2. � Most respondents appeared to agree that the
Johnson application would provide a definite visual
improvement over past site development. Disagreement �
involved the level and permanence of commercial
activity on Stubbs Bay. `
t 3. Some respondents favored the Johnson proposal and
accepted a permanent cormnercial activity level consistent
with that application.
, � 4. Some respondents favored rezoning for residential . -
. use only. �
. . ' -
Resolution No . /�9� . �
� Page 82
S. Most respondents favored less than full scale
commercial marina use of the property, either as
residential or as limited marina, but not as large _
a scale as proposed by McCleary or Johnson. �
6, All respondents agreed that some action n�ed be
taken by the City Council and the marina property
• o-�aner to improve the appearance of the marina property
by cutting weeds, removal of debris and institution
of regular maintenance procedures . '
C. PLANNING COMMISSION CONCERNS �
1. The Planning Co�unission was divided on the question
� . of ultimate land use for the Marina property and therefore
� submitted individual member opinions rather than one
opinion from the Commission as a whole. The individual
, . responses were not as effective as would have been one
unified recommendation. 'I'he varying opinions did serve
• to remind the Council that the issues were indeed
complex, that answers were not easy, that decisions .
were not predictable.
2. Taken individually, the Planning Commission
. recommendations cover the same spectrum of alternatives
- and concerns as did those of the general public,
- including the recommendation that some action, .some
decision is necessary to improve the appearance of
the�pr'operty. .
� 3. The most influential portions of the various
Planning Commissioners comments and recommendations
� were those discussions �concerning environmental/neighbor-
hood/traffic/societal issues . These basic planning
� c5ncerns help uncover facts and direct attention toward
� � optimum land use alternatives. �

D, GOVERNMENT REGULATIONS
1. All the various regulatory bodies have similar
rules and regulations for the common purpose of
protecting valuable natural resources and pro�noting
the most general public welfare. Differences , tahere
they occur, arise because of the varying perspective
and special jurisdiction established for each agency.
2. Because of the legislative overlapping of the
various governmental jurisdictions, the regulations
and ordinances of the various agencies are also .
overlapping in many instances . j�There this overlapping
occurs, the most restrictive regulation applies .
3. j�TOrk requiring review or permits from several � •
agencies must undergo detailed review by each. �
The Council is working to minimize this duplication,
but in the interim, applications must receive approval
. and meet the regulations of all jurisdictions . In
effect, each agency has veto power over any project.
4. The LMCD has jurisdiction over boat use, storage
and dock structures in the waters of Lake Minnetonka.
Stubbs Bay Niarina is required to obtain an annual
multiple dock license and to meet all the setback
regulations of the LMCD. One condition of licensing
is that .the property use must be consistent with
1oca1 zoning regulation. �
� a) As noted on the exhibits, neither the inplace
McCleary docks nor the proposed Johnson docks
" conform to the LMCD (and City) setback requirements .
':ti .
b) The proposed McCleary docks (�xhibit U-2) do
confo�n to setback requirements but may be too
congested to meet DNR State Fire Code requirements .
c) The docks in place along the residential shoreline
. may not be used for commercial purposes .
• . � - .
Resolution No./o9y'
� Page 84
�` � �
d) The docks still in place in 1979 do not conform
to LMCD dock construction and safety requirements.
e) A residential dock on the Marina property for
up to four watercraft would not require an LMCD
license and would be much easier to erect in fu11
compliance with required setbacks.
f) There is no vested right to any given� level of
lake access or use.
5. The MG'f�TD has jurisdiction over all of the Stubbs
Bay Study Area in matters concerning flood control, �
erosion control and drainage. Shoreline and lake bed
� , regulations in particular apply to many of the
� � activities and proposals concerning the Tiarina property.
a) Natural shoreline vegetation and topography are
' favored over artificial shoreline alterations .
! b) The City has primary responsibility for determining
� . proper and appropriate land use.
c) Flood plain ordinances and regulations are consistent
between the City, MCWD, DI�TR and HUD. .
. . � d) Dredging or otherwise changing the natural shoreline
� . is inconsistent with MCWD policy. _
, . .
. e) Soil conservation plan is required for any
.� development on the Marina property because of proximity
to the lakeshore, soil types and. flood plain
designation. • �
_5a
� z f) Required structure setbacks and hardcover regulations
• - are consistent with City and DNR regulations .
• g) Residential development of any lakeshore property
including the Marina property normally is more
consistent with MCWD policy and requires less variation
� � from natural conditions than does more intensive
• _ co�nercial development.
�� .
Resolution No. �099 . � ' �
� Page 85
6. The DNR has jurisdiction of all shoreline .area, '
all flood hazard areas (as the local HUD coordinating � '
agency) and use, occupation or alteration of the beds
of all public waters including any activity on Lake
Minnetonka below the ordinary high water mark of 929 .4 MSL.
� a) Filling, dredging or excavation is carefully �
regulated by rules consistent with City and MCWD
- regulations .
b) Dockage is Iimited to that necessary to reach
navigable water.� Dockage in excess of the minimal
amount, such as all commercial multiple dockage, �
must be justified by some public necessity.
� c) As with the MCWD, the City has primary responsibility �
for determining proper and appropriate land use.
Special attention is directed toward the need for �
management of comunercial areas and the protection of
• residential areas from cormnercial encroachment.
d) Required structure setbacks, maximum heights and
maximum hardcover allowances are consistent with
City requirements . � •
� e) Shoreline alteration, dredging, filling, excavation
and erosion control requirements are consistent with
. � City and MCWD regulations. .
. . .
� • f) Sanitary requirements are consistent with City
' and Sta.te Board of Health requirements . Soil and
� flood plain conditions place severe restrictions
on development of the::Marina Property and require
' correction of non-confprming septic systems in the
, flood plain: � _
g) DNR permits are required for dredging, shoreline
' alteration and permanent dock construction. DNR
� .regulations regarding structures, setbaeks., flood .
plain restrictions, etc. must be enforced by MCWD
and City ordinances .

7, Hennepin County Department of Transportation
regulations affecting the Study Area are primarily
limited to driveway access locations along County Road 84.
�ost traffic is encouraged to access on local streets
not directly on the County I�oad. The Narina property
�in particular must have the existing access relocated
• to conform to uniform safety standards if the commercial
operations is to be reconstructed.
8. The HUD Flood •Insurance Administration Study was
completed in 1978. The City Ordinance No. 213
� . required to implement the federal insurance program �
has been reviecaed and approved by HUD and the DNR.
The flood plain studies made as a part of this program
clearly show new information• of severe flood plain
development Iimitations on the Marina and nine (9)
' East Lake Street properties . The flood plain designativn .
• of these areas has impact on housing redevelopment,
sewage treatment, wells and any form of development
� on the Marina property. , �
a) Existing on-site septic systems _ in the affected
areas are almost assuredly located in the water table
� and therefore pose a severe pollution and health
hazard. Reconstruction of these systems may be
- impossible because of the flood hazard. Sealed
� - holding tanks or municipal collection may be the
• only. options . �
. � b) Housing rehabilitation may mean extensive filling
to place the structures above flood level.
c) Development on the� marina site also would require
filling andTflood-proofing.
� 9. City of Orono ordinances are written to be consistent
with Regulations of the LMCD, MCWD, DNR and HUD as
they affect the lakeshore an� Stubbs Bay Study Area.
a) Detailed City review by Staff, Planning Commission
and Council of the McCleary and Johnson proposals
� has been required to assure compliance with all local
- ordinances and compatibility with other ageney
regulations . Piecemeal submittal of proposals has
hampered such �review and delayed decision-making
• over the years.
Resolution No. /�99 ' ' '
� Page 87
b) Residential development or redevelopment has
less impact on the land and less need for City
services than does commercial development hence
residential development has less strict or involved �
regulation than does co�r�nercial development .
' c) S�wer, s�ptic system and water supply �ordinances .
follow State Board of Health, PCA, DNR and MC�(dD
guidelines and regulations . Strict enforce�ent is
mandatory to assure the protection of public health,
even if such enforcement would be an economic �
hardship on individual property owners.
d) 2oning and land use ordinances are required to
implement the goals and policies of the City' s
Comprehensive �Plan. Variations or exceptions
without a showing of hardship are contrary to the
. - most general public interest. .
,
• . e) �ommercial dock licensing ordinances are required
• - to preserve general public access to the Lakes and .
to protect against pollution and environmental .
exploitation for limited private gain. �
10. The �ity Council has adopted many resolutions in
' recent years dealing with general Marina activities
� � and with Stubbs Bay Marina in particular. The resolutions
- - have been adopted to establish the Council ' s true position
' � as increasing development pressures have continually
• pushed Marina operations to the brink and beyond the
. intent of the City' s ordinances . Taken together and
� over the years since 1967, the escalating development
� trends are clearly apparent. ,
:t
' 11 . All the regulations , laws and ordinances ,t however
� altruistic, will not accomplish the �desired goals of
publzc health, safety and welfare protection unless �
- the City Council takes a firm stand 'on enforcement.
The record is clear; Marinas must be regulated if the =
public goals are to be achieved.

E, OUTSIDE COR�SULTANTS
" 1. The Harza Report has played a major role in the
formation of policies , goals and ordinances in the �
City. The report clearly identifies hazards relating
to po�nt source (septic system) , and non-point source
(storm water runoff) pollution and their respective
potential for lake water quality degradation.
Limi�ations on develo�ment and hardcover are traced to
the -report' s discussions concerning the cost and
_ physical inprobability of treating impure runoff.
Public and private costs incurred to install. sewers -
or �assure operable septic systems are traced to the
.
report' s discussions concerning septic system failures .
� 2. The 1975 McCombs ground water study findings remain
valid in 1979 because the fact situation remains
unchanged. Septic . systems have not been rebuilt or .
abandoned in favor of a collector system. The study •
• recommendations remain as valid alternatives for
correcting point source pollution in this one remaining .
' - � unsewered/developed area close by the lake.
3 . Dr. Wood' s professional judgment on the causes of
siltation and sedimentation can not be ignored by the .
Council. Obviously, a large commercial marina with
� much power boat traffic would be detrimental to the
quality of. Stubbs Bay. The fewer the boats , the lesser
the impact.
� 4. Mr . Patchin' s appraisal of the Marina property
, raises interesting conclusions :
, a) Residential u�se of '�he property has the same
� value as limited (30 boat) tcor�nercial use.
b) Estimated market values higher than the residential
. , value are created not by commercial zoning but merely
, . by the approval of additional slips available for �
rent on the surface of the lake.
� ' '
Resolution No . /G� �'�
Page 89 � . -
� � .
c) Since the approval or disapproval of slips is
a govern�ental discretion subject to performance
standard review, and not a vested right of the
lando�v-ner, there is no diminution in value by any �
� zoning decision, only increase in �%alue by such
slip approvals .
d) The value of the Co�ercial zoning at most is
only $14, 000 being �he difference between 66 slip
co�-�nercial and 66 slip non-conforming residential
designation. At tne 30 slip level, the cor�nercial
zoning value is $0. �
e) The indicated value of s�lips in the lake (the
increase in value betjaeen 30 and 66 slips in
. co�-�mercial zoning) is $2,066 per slip. This . �
compares to an annual license iee of $3. 00 per
slip and an average annual rental charge of $500 . 00
to $1,000 per slip . The question then becomes : "is
the public benefitted to the sum of $2,066 by
• allowing each such addi�ional slip to exist?"
5. The Council accepts the reconunendations of
Mr. Isberg as being the two most practical alternatives
for the Marina property: . .
a) Zoning the property for residential use only
� would have the Ieast iinpact on the neighborhood and
� �he, environment and would not deprive the owner of
aIl reasonable use of his land.
b) Allowing a limited corim�ercial use of the property
would have more impact on the neighborhood and the
. env ironment, but. would be in keeping with the owner' s
desires . The allowed�;use would be consistent with
the services and historic level of use of the Stubbs�
Bay Resort prior to McCleary' s involvement.
� c) Authorizing development of the full marina is
inconsistent with the historic property use, the
critical nature of Stubbs Bay and the goals of the
� conanunity. �

F. CITY STAFF ,
1 . The Council concurs with the recommendations of
John Gerhardson regarding the necessity for drainage
control and better access location depending on future
use of the Narina pro�erty. - •
2. T'he Council concurs with the com�-nents of Tfelvin
Kilbo regardizg the Study Area being "out of the
mainstream" and thus having probability of Iess
� frequent police pa�crols and longer- emergency response
times than areas in the urban part of the City.
3. The Council concurs with the recommendations of
_ , • Michael Gaffron regarding the need and options
available to correct existing sewage treatment � �
deficiencies in the Study Area.
4. The Council accepts the recoiranendation of
•- Alan O�son regarding residential use of the Marina �
,
property as one valid alternative.
G. SUMMARY OF CITY COUNCIL CONCLUSIONS
1 . The Stubbs Bay Study Area is a unique residential .
. area with closely spaced homes located near the lakeshore, •
� � yet in a rural service area of the City. �
,
2. Neighborhood redevelopment has been less active
than other similar areas of the City. This deficiency �
may be traceable to three factors: �
a) geographic Iocation,; b) the lack of plans for
correction of sewage t'reatment deficiencies , and
� c) an uncertainty as to what type of development
will occur on the Marina property.
3, Correction of sewage treatment problems in the
Study Area will likely be a costly undertaking and •
may be burdensome on the property owners .
� . ,
Resolution No . �� �'9
Page 91 .
� ,
4. The Council does not t;-ish to extend urban services
• into the rural area, such as the Study Area, because
of the cost of such services in terms of both dollars
and development pressure.
5 . The Study Area is intended to remain essentially
rural in character, even if sewer service extension
. is required to correct a health hazard.
. 6. Development of the PSarina property� must be
consistent with the rural, residential character
of the neighborhood, must be respectful of sensitive -
environment of Stubbs Bay including the flood plain,
� and must be in accordance with the various applicable �
governmental regulations .
7 . Development of a full scale corunercial-retail � .
marina on Stubbs Bay and in the Study Area is not in
_ the public interest and is not a vested right in the
property.
• 8. The owner of the Niarina property is primarily
responsible for being a good husbandman of the land,
- being a good neighbor and using the land and the •
water in a manner that will b enefit the neighborhood
and the public in general.

all necessary efforts to assure that sewage treatment
• or collection in the Stubbs Bay Area is adequate to
protect water quality and the public health.
V. A planning policy of the City shall be to discourage . �

. licenses for any marina or dock operation (the Council
notes that the Johnson application has been withdrawn
and denied by Resolution No. 1044 and that McCleary has
� had docks and a limited number of boats in the water
throughout 1979 without ever having had 1979 License
� approval) .
Resolution No. �0� � ' �
� Page 93 �
2) No docks shall be used in the future unless they
shall be rebuilt to comply with all required setbacks
and fire code density standards (see Exhibits K-2,
U-2, AA) and with LMCD dock construction and safety
standards, and unless valid licenses be issued by
the City and the LMCD.
3) Adequate sanitary facilities, fire extinguishers,
and security shall be maintained on the premises. �
4) The property shall be properly maintained to .
eliminate weeds, trash and debris. '-�
VII. The City Staff shall initiate necessary studies to � �
determine the feasibility of the City undertaking a
local redevelopment project in the area, which project .
would include rehabilitation and/or revitalization of
the area' s housing stock and practical options for resolving :
the ongoing sewage treatment problems of the area. Such
studies are to include practical planning alternatives �
and analysis of all financial options available.
+ This Resolution was adopted by the City Council of the City of Orono ;

This is in reoard to Mike's letter to me of July 11, 1974. � � .
• It was my underst2nding that L.M.C.D. was the initial focal
point for approval of .courmercial dock facilities on the lake.
P1y understanding was that. if one worked within their constraints, •
and secured approval from them, the village would also approve.
� Therefore, last winter when L.M.C.D. sent out their applications '
� I contacted Mr. Frank Mixa of L.M.C.D. and discussed with him
my uncertainty as to whether or' not I would be in a financial .
position to revise the dock scheme in the spring of 1974. He
advised that I, should submit my application as it was in the '
previous year, and submit a revision if necessary. I followed
instructions, and late in March submitted a revised �plan. It
� . was for ('g� slips and was ap�roved on Avril 4,_ 1974 (see attached) .
I assume at that time that Orono would receive a copy of 'the _
revision from L.M.C.D. , and bill me accordingly for the additional
. slips. To date I have not received a new billing. During the
. , construction of the docks a change was made which permitted the
construction of seven additional slips in the same.area..
L.M.C.D. has in hou-se a copy of this second version for a total-
of SS slips. . . � -
As to the ten4�h�re slivs •on the residential propertz� adjacent
to the north of the marina; which I now own and occupy; those .
slips existed for years before I occupied the property and I
fixed them-up aga in this year. : Last year before I ok�ned the
property, five of the slips were used by the owner and his . ,

friends. I now use one oi them m�•self, per�it three nei�hbors
to use three slips at no charoe, and rent three slips out. If
some revision of this use or othcr ��,atters is in order, I u�ould
like to get together and discuss it �.�ith you at your conveni�nce.

GREGG HANNAH . '
Exclusive of professional opinion, cahich I have not seen really, '
I am very intrigued by the way the architect has made use of the �
site and I am very encouraged by the fact that the restrictive
covenants would set a ceiling on the amount of corru-nercial business
that would occur on the site. I think it certainly is the most
attractive use of this site that I have seen presented to date. �
GLORIA MCDONALD

STEVEN WILSON ' • � �
I . thi�k the construction of °a marina in �Stubbs Bay is not consistent
with the� residential nature of the area and I am concerned that the
boat traffic coming out of ri3xwe11 Bay with two marinas there would be
� inereased because Stubbs Bay' s only access is out through Maxwell
Bay and I think that is a major traffic problem. I am also concerned
� about the nature of Stubbs Bay as a small shallow bay and with too
much boat traffie it will take the use of the bay away from the
residents . I am supportive of Alan Olson' s recommendation for a
dotan-zoning and denial of the application. �
� TOM FRAHM �
- I think most of the writing I have seen here is concerned with sewage. _
� and �either way, wheth er we allow a single family dwelling� or -a marina
on the site, there" will "b'e a need for holding tanks and pumping so it .
' . really has no bearing on either choice. Either way it will not harm
anything. The two problems as I see� them are mainly- traffic, both �
boat and car traffic. I guess at this point I am not enougli of an
expert to say whether either one of them will have any� major effect . �
on the area. I tend to think not. I am kind of worried about
eliminating� marinas as much as I would � like to see traffic on the lake
down, - I believe there is a big push by Hennepin County and the State
of Minnesota to make Lake Minnetonka more accessible to the general
pnblic, and if we start eliminating marinas and accesses to the lake,
I think we will be forced 'into �something that will be a lot less
favorable that what we have now. I guess I am in favor 'of the marina
being permitted. � � , �

� I have to look at the pluses and minuses of this thing from all the
� balloonist reading I have done and I have to agree it is in a
residential area and does not belong there. 1. ) It is really
grandfathered in by the days when it was a beer joint and I understand
. it was originally put there to rent row-boats for fishing. 2. ) The
flood plain. 3. ) If what Dr. Woods states is true about Stubbs Bay
that it is going to harm the bay, I would have to go .against it.
The only reason I can see for it being there is that' there has been
a marina there and if we are locked in, I don' t see why it couldn' t
be residential .

� � I feel the staff and consultants have done a very extensive
study of the problems within the Stubbs Bay Area . I would second
Mr. Isberg' s recommendation about studying all present B-2 Lakeshore
Business Districts in Orono with an awareness that they have an
adverse effect on residential neighborhoods . I question his _
classification of the area as basically low density rural. It
would be interesting to know the average lot size in the moratorium
area . I feel that most homes are �located on substandard lots
(not two acres) . Mr. Pesek notes that there are 9 structures on
one-acre adjoining this property a�d other properties 1/4 acre in
size - not really low density rural.
This area has many problems with or without the Marina and we must �
look at "future public expenditures to alleviate several adverse :�
conditions" as stated by Alan Olson. •
After studying the issues and talking with many individuals , I feel
very uncomfortable �down zoning this property without co:npensation
� and am concerned about our ab ility to justify our actions in court
without incurring a great deal of expense.
If we succeed in dow-n zoning then we have a start towards more
• effectively dealing with non-vested rights to comnercial use of
the lake. Great, but we have had trouble in this area in the past.
If we do not succeed we have, I believe, lost the commitment of a
home owner, and developer, on Stubbs Bay. He has by his previous
actions in many areas , before this Council, the LMCD, etc, , shown
. - a concern �for preserving what we feel are our goals for Orono.
This would be difficult if not impossible to say for other marina
� operators. What tk�en �-- another blue fence, stop work orders for
dredging, traffic problems and violation of dock lengths.
I feel a limited use marina following the ordinances of the Village,
the LMCD, etc. with a variance to construction in the flood plain,
a holding tank sewer system and effecting natural screening is the
best position for Orono. The above variances would also be necessary�
for a single family residencse. _

Dear I•1r'. Olson:
Last summer scientists at the Gray Freshwater Biological Institute
surveyed each lake basin of Lake 2�finnetonka. Stubbs Bay was shown
to be the nost eutrophic bay in terms of turbidity, algal bloom,
and nutrient content. In fact, it �oas c,�orse than Aalstead's Bay
� '. on the upper lake. Since Stub_tZS Bay is small and very shallow, it
is clear that a multiple dock for large power boats would make
the situation worse in several respects:
• 1) The movement of sediments in shallow areas will cause
increased nutrient �,�ash-out from the sediments into
the lake. �
2) The adjacent shoreline properties will be sealed in by
a sediment bank causing stagnation especailly on the shore-
line southeast of the project and causing residents problems
� with filamentous algae, aquatic macrophytes, and foul odors
� from stagnation. Also; these residents k*ill have to dredge
their wa}� out eventually if they wish access to the lake.
. , . ,
If the dock is designed for low horsepower boats, then of course .
the above detrimental factors would not apply.
' urs sincerely, . � '

The SBMA encompasses 82 houses, cottages , or other habitable buildings .
Of these 82, approximately 40 were inspected by me during 1978. Ttao
systems were found to be unquestionably non-conforming (outhouses) .
The great majority of the balance were substandard either in location
near wells or seasonal water table, or in size of drainfield. The
remaining systems not yet inspected are scheduled for inspection in

Essentially all the East Lake Street houses are non-conforming according

McCombs-Knutson Associates analyzed ground and surface water samples
from various locations in the Tonka Avenue-Crestview Avenue-East Lake
Street area. Shallow groundwater samples. showed high concentrations
of chloride and surfactants, indicating contamination, Surface water
samples from� the unnamed tributary to Stubbs Bay had a high fecal
• coliform count, indicating pollution from individual �on-site systems.
The report recommended sanitary facilities be constructed.

A . STATUS OF EXISTING SYSTEMS (CONT.)
Fecent inspection of the northeast Stubbs Bay Area reveals minimal
visible sewage eifluent discharging to the surface. However, complaints
or seasonal problems of odors or discharges have been recorded.
Pro erties located west of Stubbs Bay Road and north of B�icideSRo�ad
P
are generally located on large lots and have no known sep y
problems . The concentration of homes and cottages on the northwest
side of Stubbs Bay along West Lake Street will be inspected in the
Spring of 1979 . �
Conclusion - S�spected and know-n sySOSSible��roundaand surface watere �

contamination. Possible reasons for this failure are: 1) tight clay
soils which restrict water movement creating high water tables and

Ma (Marsh) soils which are generally wet�• The observed water
table at the marina site was 18" in suriIIner of 1978. �
Each of these three soil types is classified as severely
restrictive for drainfields under Orono code, due to high water
tables . The City is under no obligation to approve any new
drainfields on these soils. _

c) Holding Tanks - The site is suitable for a holding tank system.
In either Zones A or B, we �,�ou1d require a s�aled system with
, check valves to prevent backflow or surface discharge of sewage
if and when tariks were flooded. Anti-flotation stability of
tanks would be of prime concern in either a holding tank or
� mound situation.
• ' d) Collector System - The site itself is suitable for collector
system ,with treatment and disposal elsewhere. Proper sealing
of collection lines would be necessary to prevent groundwater
infiltration. �
C MCCOMBS-KNUTSON REPORT ON SANITARY SEWERS FOR STUBBS BAY AREA, 1975
� .
. This report proposed a collection system for Tonka-Crestview-East Lake
. houses '(36 existing) which would be either tied into existing or proposed
sewers to the east or would b e treated in a large drainfield on the
Andromeda property southwest of Leaf Street and Bayside Roa d.
Estimated Costs (1975) (1979 Assumed 10% Inflation/Yr.)
� . -Collection System . , $97 ,400 � $142,600
-Disposal Alternative 1
� (Ptmmp to Interceptor) 62,300 91,200
� -Disposal Alternative 2 _ .
(Drainfield) . 46,000 67,300
These cost estimate figures may be way off due to any of the following
t reasons : �
1. Andromeda property soils in proposed drainfield area are only
marginally suitable for a standard drainfield due to high
water table. "
2, Andromeda property is not. now available at low cost of •
$10,000/4 acre parcel as previously estimated.
� 3. Orono-Long Lake Interceptor final location is not b etween
, Old Crystal Bay Road and Willow Drive as assumed. This would
' _. now require longer lines to sewer plant for disposal.

(CONT. )
The nearest potentially suitable drainfield site presently would be the
. high land east of the Andromeda property. At this time, it is not known
� whether this p�-operty could be acquired or at what price.
I feel this proposal sti11 has merit, but costs would be sibnificantly
higher than previously estimated, due to various factors . .
D, CONCLUSIONS - M.4RII�A PROPERTY
. 1. . Site Suitability " "
a) The site is most suitable for a holding tank system which
with proper design, installat�ion and maintenance would adequately
• protect the public health by preventing possible ground or surface
water contamination.
b) Pending further investigation by parties unknown, the site. may
be suitable for a mound system, which due to flooding hazard '
and fluctuating high water table in a sandy soil would have a
- higher risk of potential ground or surface water contamination.
' c) The site is ,no.t suitable for a standard drainfield system.
2. Legal� Roadbloc.ks
a) Orono code prohib its drainfield within 100-year flood plain zones ,
and within designated sheet flow areas . In effect, Orono code
would prohibit any septic system or well on the property.
z
b) Pending determination of water table depths , Orono Code would
prohibit a mound system on parts of the lot and sets standards
for drainfield and tank location and construction.
. c) State WPC-40 standards require minimum height of drainfield •
- above 10-year flood elevation, and set standards for location
. � and construction. . , .

E. RECO?�12•1E?�DATIONS
1. M�rina Froperty - A holding tank system s.hould be required for
any new buildings . Orono Code would not allow a septic system,
and due to flooding potcntial and depth to gro und water, a soil
treatment system would have a high risk of . ground or surface water
, contamination.
2, East Lake Street Properties - Although there is no easy procedure
to show• that these systems are in fact causing pollution of ground .
- or surface water, the potential for pollution is very great. I
would suggest that these systems be abandoned and tanks be installed
� or modified to �be used as holding tanks until such time that a "
collector sewer system is extended to the area .
• 3. Tonka Avenue-Crestview Avenue - Although many of the houses on
these streets may have systems which are disposing of the effluent
they receive, they may not b e treating it. Possible courses of
action would be:
a) Continue with present program of requiring visibly failing
systems to be repaired with alternative systems if necessary.
Continuously monitor ground water quality.
� b) Install a collector system for off-site treatment and disposal.
c) Require all systems to be replaced with alternative systems if
documentation is shown that standard systems cannot be expected
to function adequately in existing soil types .

io ert District LR-lA, consistent
One Family Lak eshore Residential p ' p Y� •
with the zoning designation and actual use of all surrounding properties .
I support �his recotr�nendation with my conclusion ,as a professional .
planner that this zoning designation is � entirelyhensive�Plansland�h e
goals , intents and purposes of the Ci�y s Compre
that any other designation is inconsistent with those goals , intents
and purposes . �
I further reco�nend to the City Council that the future develop�nent �
and use of the subject property be restricted and limited to those
permitted and conditional uses specified as appropriate uses for the
LR-lA zoning use district.
I su�port this recomm�ndation with my conclusion as a professional
planner that said permitted uses are indeed appropriate for this
property given all neighborhood, topographic, geographic, ecological,
�historic and legal restrictions imposed on the property by its very
• location and intrinsic characteristics and that all other uses ,
including limited co�u�ercial use as a marina, are infact inappropriate
for the property and the neighborhood.
II. COURSE OF ACTION •
The Council' s first responsibility is to accept the many reports and
recommendations prepared on this subject and to hear the comments
and recommendations 'of the property owners, neighbors and public at
large. .
� I recommend that after receipt of all facts nndfuPure zoninge City
Council adopt a RESOLUTION OF INTENT regardi g
development and use of this property. This resolution would be
conceptual in nature, allowing staff an opportunity to include all
� new information received at thetpublic hearing, to include exactly
� all findings of the Council and to ensure that the final resolution
be correct in detail prior to passage at the next meeting. I have
attached a suggested draft of such a 'resolution.
I recommend that the Council amend the 1974 Comprehensive Plan
� consistent with the findings of this moratorium area study.

� II. COUF.SE OF ACTION (Cont. ) .
I recorr�end that the Council commence an action to rezone the subj ect
property from B-2, Lakeshore Business District, to LR-lA, One Family
Lakeshore Residential District.
I reco�nend �hat the Cour�cil thereaiter deny the 1979 Commercial
Dock Lic�nse application of George R. Johnson and that the Council :
deny any and all a�plications for co;,�nercial development on the
subject proper�y.
I reco�nend that the Council deny conti�ued use oz the property for
commercial purposes including on-land storage an d in-lake dock
construction and that the Council institute condemnation procedures
for the existing Lnsafe dock structures finding, as the Council -
did in the �1978 Dock License Resolution No. 971, that such structures
pose an im�-nediate hazard to public health and safety.
I recommend that the Council (and staff) continue study of the .
Stubbs Bay Moratorium Area in regard to the other issues of sewage ,
. treatment and disposal, flooding hazards , housing deterioration,
crowding and the need for future public expenditures to alleviate
• such conditions . Such study is intended to be completed prior to
the end of the current Moratorium expiring on July 31, 1979, with
the findings and conclusions of such studies to be incorporated
� in the current review of the Comprehensive Plan of the City.
III. SUGGESTED FINDINGS IN SUPPORT OF THIS RECOMMENDATION
These findings are not considered to be a complete list but are only
representative of the detailed findings which would be incorporated
iri a final resolution of• the City Council.
l. The Council confirms the findings and conclusions of the 1974
Comprehensive Guide Plan regarding the paramount objectives of
• a) the preservation of the quality of Lake Minnetonka as a
unique, yet fragile ecological and recreational asset and
b) the maintenance of low-density rural land use policies as
opposed to urban development which development �ften results
in increased public and private costs while serving to benefit
a limited number of developer/land owners to the ,detriment of
the citizens in gerieral. _ • ,
•.2. The Council acknowledges that, while the findings and conclusions
� of the 1974 Comprehensive Guide Plan were and still are valid,
the designation of the subject property� for commercial use was in
-� error and was urisupported by any logical planning or land use
'� criteria which error shoul'd now be corrected as part of the
overall Comprehensive Plan Review. - .

III. SUGGESTED FINDII�GS IN SUPPORT OF THIS RECO;�]MEnDATION (Cont. )
�
3. T'he Council confirms the findings and conclusions of Resolution
No. 938 regarding increased boat density on Lake Minnetonka .
4. The Council confii-ms the findings and conclusions �of Resolution •
No. 943 regarding prior development, use and applications for
use of the subject property.
5. The subject �roperty is not currently in use as a marina as
permitted under B-2 zoning use district regulations . .
6. The subject property has in fact not previously been used to the
� full extent requested, licensed and permitted by the City and
the LMCD, which fact underscores the unwarranted increase ia
� marina development in recent years, the physical limitations
on the site and �he unsubstantiated need for any commercial -
development of �he property.
7 . The existing zoning is obviously unplanned "spot" zoning. �
8. Residential zoning and use is completely compatible with alI
adjacent and nearby zoning and land use. •
• 9. New information available since 1974, including the Federal Flood
Insurance study, increased local, state and federal knowledge _
concerning sewage treatment and disposal, and increased knowledge
of lake ecology have become cause for new planning conclusi�ns
regarding use of this property independent of any City initiated
action. � ` -
10. Stubbs Bay is ,a shall,ow bay, otherwise completely residential �
in character, and has been classified as a potentially critical
bay for boating use.
lI. Maxwell Bay, through which all boat traffic must pass to reach
Stubbs� Bay, is already classified as a critical boat use bay.
12. The bay and the property are not physically suited for commercial
marina development. �
13.. The City, the LMCD and the DNR would never permit a "new" marina '
on this site.
T4. °The proposed development would be a "new" marina because no viable,
� :- active marina exists today�. � •

III. SUGGESTED FII�TDINGS IN SUPFORT OF THIS RECOMMENDATION (Cont. )
3� 15. . Allo�+Ting development of the property for marina use (or boat
slip rental use) would adversely affect neighboring properties , �
•properti�s abutting Maxwell and Stubbs Bays and the quality
of Lake Minnetonka . Such adverse impact could be described as .
a legal "nuisance" which is substantially unwarranted. The
benefit to the property o-�aners would be at the expense of the
neighboring owners and the public in general.
16. Use of the property for. residential purposes is compatible
with the neighborhood, would not increase the demand for
• public services and expenditures, and is physically compatible
with the condition of the property and the condition of the bay.
17 . Because of the physical flood plain restrictions, any development
' of the property has special concerns or requirements but on the
whole, residential impact appears to have more positive aspects
and fewer (or the same) negative restrictions as would commercial
. development. �
18. Any diminution in value which might occur because of the cessation
of commercial activity can most likely be attributed to arbitrary
. `'or at best speculative value associated with the previous non-
: vesting licensed rights to some given number of boat docks
constructed on and in the public waters.
19. The private right to unlimited commercial development of marginal
.property, and the private exploitation of public waters is far
outweighed by the most general public right to reasonable,
compatible land use planning and general benefit. •
20. The continued zoning and use of the property for coIIUnercial
' purposes is not in the public interest. �
