MINUTES OF .THE ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING MONDAY, April 23, 2001 *(#5) #01-2673 GARY GERMUNDSEN, 4101 HIGHWOOD ROAD — VARIANCES — RESOLUTION NO.4645 Sansevere moved, Flint seconded, to approve and adopt RESOLUTION NO. 4645, a Resolution granting renewal of variances to permit the construction of a new residence to replace the existing residence on the property located at 4101 Highwood Road. VOTE: Ayes 4, Nays 0. *(#6) #01-2669 RICHARD J. WETT, 1396 BALDUR PARK ROAD —VARIANCES — RESOLUTION NO.4646 Sansevere moved, Flint seconded, to approve and adopt RESOLUTION NO. 4646, a Resolution granting an after -the -fact variance to hardcover to permit construction of a four foot overhang over an existing sidewalk on the street side of the residence located at 1396 Baldur Park Road. VOTE: Ayes 4, Nays 0. (#7) #01-2672 JIM & SHARON WALKER, 2685 NORTH SHORE DRIVE -CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT — RESOLUTION NO.4647 Jim Walker, Applicant, and Dave Erotas, Contractor, was present. Weinberger stated the Applicants have requested a conditional use permit for a guest apartment located within the proposed principal residence. The guest apartment would be located above the garage and connected to the main part of the house by a frilly enclosed walkway. Non -rental guest apartments are a conditional use in "R" districts. Orono's Code requires the guest apartment be for the sole use of the occupants of the principal residence, including their domestic employees or non- paying guests. One access door to the apartment must be provided from within the principal structure. In addition, the Applicants are also requesting a variance to permit two accessory buildings to remain on the lot. The buildings consist of a screen house located near the Lakeshore within the 0'75' setback and the second is a tower that has been on the property for many years. The existing house was originally constructed in approximately 1903. A condition of approval would be that no expansion or alteration of the buildings would be permitted since they are non -conforming. The Planning Commission voted 5 to 0 to recommend approval of the conditional use permit for the non -rental guest apartment and variance to permit the tower to remain on the property. The Planning Commission voted 4 to 1 to recommend approval of the variance to permit the screen house to remain on the property. It was the minority opinion that the screen house should be removed because it is a structure within 75 feet of the lakeshore of Lake Minnetonka. City Staff recommends approval of the conditional use permit and the variances. Flint stated he wanted to discuss the screen house. Flint noted the City receives a number of requests for repairs of structures. Flint stated he is comfortable with the resolution as presented. In his view the Applicants are attempting to maintain the historic look of the property, but due to the MINUTES OF THE ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING MONDAY, April 23, 2001 (Mayor/Council Report, Continued) Flint moved, Sansevere seconded, to authorize City Staff to refund $250 on Application 101-2669, Richard J. Wett, 1396 Baldur Park Road. Tom Barrett requested the City Council articulate the reasons why this refund is being given. Flint stated the reason he supports a refund in this situation is that this is the type of application that should never really have gone through this review process and could have been approved administratively. Flint indicated it was only a technical aspect of the Zoning Code that required the application follow this procedure. Gaffron stated normally the City charges the builder the double permit fee and not the property owner. Gaffron stated both the builder and the property owner had the understanding that it would not require a separate variance. Gaffron stated City Staff chose to bring this item before the Council due to the amount of time that had elapsed from the time the original permit was initially issued.

(.31 acres) List of Exhibits. A Resolution B Staff Report and Exhibits of 4/16/2001 Application Summary: The applicants have applied for an after -the -fact variance to permit a 4 foot overhang that was added over an existing sidewalk. Over the past winter the applicants had some remodeling done to their residence. At that time it became evident that the sidewalk leading to the front door of their residence was covered with snow, ice and was dangerous to walk on. The four foot overhang does not increase the amount of hardcover in the 75-250' setback zone. The hardcover is currently 3,555.83 s.f. (36.3%) where 2,452 s.f. (25%) is allowed. In 1991 a variance was granted to allow the hardcover to be at 3,555.83 (36.3%). The overhang does increase the structural lot coverage. The existing lot coverage is 1,892 s.f. (13.8%) where 1,996 s.f. (14.6%) is proposed and 2,050.5 s.f. (15%) is allowed. Still below the allowed amount by City ordinance. 1. Section 10.22, Subd. 1 (B) and Section 10.56, Subd. 16 (L)(2): Hardcover in 75-250': To allow 3,555.83 s.f. (36.3%) of hardcover in the 75-250' Lakeshore setback, where 3,555.83 s.f. (36.3%) exists, and 2,452 s.f. (25%) is allowed. In 1991 a variance was granted to allow the hardcover to be 3,555.83 s.f. (36.3%). PLANNING COMMISSION: The Planning Commission recommended by a 5 to 0 vote to: Approve the application as presented. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: To approve the enclosed resolution. COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED: To adopt or amend the enclosed resolution. Note: At their April 16 meeting, Planning Commission questioned the need for a variance application for this minor request. The Commission pointed out that the final result was no increase in hardcover over the percentage approved in 1991, and no need for variance to the 15% structural coverage ordinance. Staff felt this application was warranted based on the following: 1. The originally approved plans did not include the overhang. It has long been City policy that staff does not have the authority to approve hardcover tradeoffs when hardcover exceeds the limits. 2. Further, when a change in the nature of hardcover from nonstructural to structural is proposed, staff has not had the authority to approve such a change when existing hardcover is over the limits, even when the excessive percentage was allowed by a prior variance approval. 3. Generally, staff has always attempted to be conservative in administering the hardcover ordinances, in order to avoid the undue pressure from homeowners and builders that would accompany broad staff discretion in hardcover determinations. A RESOLUTION APPROVING VARIANCES TO MUNICIPAL ZONING CODE SECTION 10.22, SUBDIVISION 1 (B), AND SECTION 10.56, SUBDIVISION 16(L)(2) FILE NO* 01-2669 WHEREAS, Richard J. Wett and Marge A. Wett, husband and wife, (hereinafter "the applicants") are the owners of the property located at 1396 Baldur Park Road within the City of Orono (hereinafter "the City") and legally described as follows: Lot 16, Baldur Park, Hennepin County, Minnesota (hereinafter "the property"); and WHEREAS, the applicants have applied to the City for an after the fact variance to Municipal Zoning Code Section 10.22, Subdivision 1 (B) and Section 10.56, Subdivision 16 (L)(2) to allow 3,555.83 s.f. (36.3%) hardcover in the 75-250' setback area where 3,555.83 s.f. (36.3%) exists and 2,452 s.f. (25%) is allowed to permit construction of a four foot overhang over an existing sidewalk on the street side of the residence. WHEREAS, after due published notice and mailed notice in accordance with Minnesota Statutes and the City of Orono Zoning and Planning Codes, the Orono Planning Commission held a public hearing on April 16, 2001, at which time all persons desiring to be heard concerning this application were given the opportunity to speak thereon. Minnesota: NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of Orono, FINDINGS 1. This application was reviewed as Zoning File #01-2669. 2. This property is located in the LR-1 C Zoning District, where .5 acre or 21,780 s.f. is the minimum lot area. The property consists of approximately .31 acres or 13,670 s.f . 3. The Orono Planning Commission reviewed this application on April 16, 2001 and recommended approval by a vote of 5 to 0. Page 1 of 5 4. The Planning Commission made the following findings of fact: A. The structural coverage on the lot is increasing from 1,892 s.f. (13.8%) to 15996 (14.6%), still below the allowed 15% by City ordinance. B. The hardcover in the 75-250' setback zone is not increasing, it will remain at 3,555.83 s.f. (36.3%). C. The lot is undersized for a lot in the LR-1C zoning district. 5. The City Council finds that the conditions existing on this property are peculiar to it and do not apply generally to other property in this zoning district; that granting the variances would not adversely affect traffic conditions, light, air, nor pose a fire hazard or other danger to neighboring property; would not merely serve as a convenience to the applicants, but is necessary to alleviate a demonstrable hardship or difficulty; is necessary to preserve a substantial property right of the applicants; and would be in keeping with the spirit and intent of the Zoning Code and Comprehensive Plan of the City. 6. The City Council has considered this application including the findings and recommendations of the Planning Commission, reports by City Staff, comments by the applicants and the effect of the proposed variance on the health, safety and welfare of the community. CONCLUSIONS, ORDER, AND CONDITIONS Based upon one or more of the above findings, the Orono City. Council hereby grants an after the fact variance to Municipal Zoning Code Section Section 10.225 Subdivision 1 (B) and Section 10.56, Subdivision 16 (L)(2) to allow 3,555.83 s.f. (36.3%) hardcover in the 75-250' setback area where 3,555.83 s.f. (36.3%) exists and 2,452 s.f. (25%) is allowed to permit construction of a four foot overhang over an existing sidewalk on the street side of the residence. Approval is subject to the following conditions: 1. Council approval is based on the site plan submitted by the applicants attached to this resolution as Exhibit A. Any amendments to the site plan may require further Planning Commission and City Council review. Page 2 of 5 2. Authorities granted by these variances run with the property not with the applicants, but are permissive only and must be exercised by application for a building permit within one year of the date of Council approval, or these variances will expire on that date (April 23, 2002). 3. Violation of or non-compliance with any of the terms and conditions of these variances shall constitute a violation of the zoning code, shall automatically terminate any authority granted herein, and shall be punishable as a misdemeanor. 4. The undersigned applicants have read, understood and hereby agree to the terms of this resolution and on behalf of themselves, their heirs, successors and assigns, hereby agree to the recording of this resolution in the Chain of Title of the property.

Issues for Consideration: 1. Would a gutter system work in this situation? Would the height of the gutters/roof make it difficult to keep the system clean and working? 2. The amount of hardcover in the 75-250' setback area is not increasing. 3. The structural coverage is increasing but still below the allowed 15%. 4. The lot does not meet lot area and lot width requirements. It is undersized for a lot in the LR- 1 C zoning district. 5. Would applicants' acceptance of a condition that "the roofed area can never be enclosed with walls" be a factor in gaining an approval recommendation? 6. Other issues raised by the Planning Commission.

WaMemvood Ltd., 24925 Glen Rd , starewood, MN 55337. Lk.ft2302 •A VARIANCE APPLICATION: 1396 BALDUR PARK ROAD DESCRIPTION OF REQUEST: We are requesting an after -the -fact variance for a shed roof over an existing sidewalk at the Baldur Park Road property This past winter Waldenwood added some expansion space to the Wett home on Baldur Park Road. During the course of the remodel it became very evident there was a safety problem for the Wetts. The sidewalk to their front door was continuously being covered with snow and ice. Not only were the Wetts concerned about this danger, but the carpenters on site also struggled with this concern as they too came and went from the premises. HARDSHIP/DESCRIPTION OF UNUSUAL PROPERTY CONDITIONS It was agreed by the Wetts (who are retired) and Waldenwood, that the best solution to the dangerous situation would be to install a shed roof over the sidewalk, preventing the dripping from the 2°d story eaves on to the sidewalk as well as the direct snow, sleet, and rain upon the walkway. Due to the massive ice problems of these past months Waldenwood built the roof as quickly as possible in an effort to stem the possiblility of a serious fall on the icy walkway. We assumed we were not impinging on the hardcover of the property because we were going over an existing sidewalk. It was only upon inspection that we learned of Orono's differenciation between structural hardcover and ground hardcover. The reality is that the roof will not only help during the winter months, but will also be an asset during the rainy season helping to divert water away from the foundation out on to the bushes and lawn. As the contractor, we recognize that we are amiss in following the proper procedures for adding such a roof. Please note that we were not trying to "get by" with something, (since we did request inspections on the framing of this roof), but i tead were trying to move as uickly as possible to solve this extremely dangerous situatius, we ask for your understanding as well as the granting of the variance.

"lt.. �, `�'. March 9, 2001 Orono City Council We are requesting an after -the -fact variance on the overhang on a portico that was just added to our house. We understand the overhang is considered hardcover thereby requiring a variance. A new addition over our garage created a hazardous condition with run off freezing on our front entrance walk. Another solution would have been to add a gutter in this area but the builder did not recommend it because of our advanced age and the fact it would be quite high in order to clean and keep the area from becoming hazardous again.

VOTE: Ayes 5, Nays 0. (#3) #01-2668 NIANLEY BROTHERS CONSTRUCTION, 1973 FAGER\ASS POINT ROAD, AFTER -THE -FACT VARIANCES AND CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT, 7005 p.m. — 7@05 p.m. The Applicants were not present. Mabusth moved, Kluth seconded, to table Application #01-2668, Manley Brothers Construction, 1973 Fagerness Point Road, at the request of the Applicant. VOTE: Ayes 5, Nays 0. (#4) #01-2669 RICHARD J. WETT, 1396 BALDER PARK ROAD, AFTER -THE -FACT VARIANCE, 99.06 p.m. — 7:09 p.m. Richard and Marge Wett, Applicants, and John Miller, Contractor, were present. The Certificate of Mailing and Affidavit of Publication were noted. Bottenberg stated the Applicants are requesting an after -the -fact variance to permit a four foot overhang that was added over an existing sidewalk. Over the past winter the Applicants had some remodeling done to their residence. At that time it became evident that the sidewalk leading to the front door of their residence was covered with snow, ice, and was dangerous to walk on. Bottenberg stated the four foot overhang does not increase the amount of hardcover in the 75-250' setback zone. The current hardcover is 36.3 percent where 25 percent is allowed. In 1991, a variance was granted to allow the hardcover to be at 36.3 percent. The overhang does, however, increase the structural lot coverage. The existing lot coverage is 13.8 percent where 14.6 percent is proposed and 15 percent is allowed. City Staff recommends approval of the application. Mrs. Wett had no comments in addition to Staffs report. Hawn inquired why this application was before the Planning Commission since the structural coverage is under the allowable 15 percent limit. Hawn stated a variance is not required since the structural coverage does not exceed the maximum allowed. Hawn requested the City Council make applications similar to this subject to administrative review. Hawn moved, Kluth seconded, to recommend approval of Application #01-2669, Richard J. Wett, 1396 Baldur Park Road, to permit a conversion from hardcover to structural coverage to allow the four foot overhang but still remain under the 15 percent structural coverage allowed. VOTE: Ayes 5, Nays 0. PAGE 5 MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING APRIL 16, 2001 (#01-2669 Richard Wett, Continued) Miller inquired whether the Applicants' fee could be refunded. Lindquist stated the Planning Commission does not have the authority to grant a refund of the application fee and a request would need to be made to the City Council. (#5) #O1-2670 CHERYL AND PETER KRAMER, 2140 NORTH SHORE DRIVE, VARIANCE, 7*10 p.m. — 7:37 p.m. Peter Kramer, Applicant, was present. The Certificate of Mailing and Affidavit of Publication were noted. Weinberger stated the Applicant is requesting a variance to permit a six foot fence along the south property line, which is located along North Shore Drive/County Road 51. In this location fences are only permitted to be 3.5 feet in height within a required street yard setback. The Orono Zoning Ordinance does not allow a fence greater than 3.5 feet in height within a required setback to a property line adjacent to a street. The RR4B zoning district as a required 50 feet setback to the south property line. Weinberger stated the property is located in the Crystal Bay neighborhood, with streets bordering the property on three sides. Three portions of the property require the 50 foot setback for the construction of a fence in excess of 3.5 feet in height. Access to the property has been relocated to Arbor Street. Weinberger stated the zoning ordinance does permit fence six feet in height along the street lot line of lake frontage lots which front on a major thoroughfare, as North Shore Drive is designated. A higher fence is permitted along the street on the lake frontage lots because the rear of the house is usually where outside storage is located and that portion of the property generally functions as a rear yard. Weinberger stated also located along the property line is a row of shrubs that are between four to six feet in height. The fence would be located between the shrubs and the house to minimize the visual impact of the fence from the road. Weinberger stated a small portion at the end of the shrubs is actually located within the county right-of-way. Weinberger stated at the present time the County has no plans to upgrade or widen North Shore Drive. The lot line along North Shore Drive is defined as a "side lot line adjacent to the street". The property lines along Arbor Street and Briar Street are both considered front lot lines due to the fact they both equally front on roads and are narrower in width than the frontage along North Shore Drive. Weinberger stated the Applicant has indicated he would like to construct the fence due to the increase in traffic and noise being experienced in this area as well as safety concerns he has for his children. Weinberger stated to protect sight lines at each intersection, a 30 foot "sight triangle" is required. The sight triangle is measured as a 30 foot setback from the property corner adjacent to an intersection that is to be protected from any structures and/or fences from heights to exceeding three feet. No part of the land area within the entire sight triangle shall have fences that exceed the three feet height. Weinberger indicated the fence would be located behind the shrubs. f PAGE 6 CITY OF ORONO P.O.

During the course of the remodel it became very evident there was a safety problem for the Wetts. The sidewalk to their front door was continuously being covered with snow and ice. Not only were the Wetts concerned about this danger, but the carpenters on site also struggled with this concern as they too came and went from the premises. HARDSHIP/DESCRIPTION OF UNUSUAL PROPERTY CONDITIONS It was agreed by the Wetts (who are retired) and Waldenwood, that the best solution to the dangerous situation would be to install a shed roof over the sidewalk, preventing the dripping from the 2nd story eaves on to the sidewalk as well as the direct snow, sleet, and rain upon the walkway. Due to the massive ice problems of these past months Waldenwood built the roof as quickly as possible in an effort to stem the possiblility of a serious fall on the icy walkway. We assumed we were not impinging on the hardcover of the property because we were going over an existing sidewalk. It was only upon inspection that we learned of Orono's differenciation between structural hardcover and ground hardcover. The reality is that the roof will not only help during the winter months, but will also be an asset during the rainy season helping to divert water away from the foundation out on to the bushes and lawn. As the contractor, we recognize that we are amiss in following the proper procedures for adding such a roof. Please note that we were not trying to "get by" with something, (since we did request inspections on the framing of this roof), but ln§tead were trying to move as quickly as possible to solve this extremely dangerous situatio yrhus, we ask for your understanding as well as the granting of the variance. ohn M.

Box 66 Orono, MN 55356 Crystal Bay, MN 55323.0066 RE: Variance Application Packet . Dear Mr. Miller: I have enclosed the variance application packet you have requested for the covered walk extension to the roof line of the house. The extended roof line constitutes a structural addition to the total hardcover previously approved for the property. Because the application will be applied for after the work has been completed, the variance request is an after the fact application requiring a double fee. The total variance application fee is $500. The following items are requested to complete your after the fact variance application: ❑ Completed Application Form and $500 after the fact variance application fee. ❑ Certified Property Owners List of owners within 150, labels and plat map (you must obtain this list, labels and map from Hennepin County Department of Finance, they can be contacted at (612) 348-5910). They will need to know from you the property address or property identification number for the lot the variance is being requested. ❑ Updated Certificate of Survey (signed by a licensed surveyor) for the property and new roof extension. In addition, provide one (1) copy 8'/2" x 11 for reproduction. ❑ List of the legal names (include marital status) of all persons with an interest in the property. This would include name of applicant if not current owner. Please note the deadline for filing an application for the April 16, 2001 Planning Commission meeting is noon on Wednesday, March 21, 2001. Do not hesitate to contact me at (952) 2494600 should you have any questions regarding the application packet and to set up an appointment to discuss your proposal.

We understand the overhang is considered hardcover thereby requiring a variance. A new addition over our garage created a hazardous condition with run off freezing on our front entrance walk. Another solution would have been to add a gutter in this area but the builder did not recommend it because of our advanced age and the fact it would be quite high in order to clean and keep the area from becoming hazardous again. A change would not only be costly for us but also not completely solve the problem of the drainage being away from the walk. We appreciate your granting this variance so it may remain as needed.
