7. Section 10.25, Subdivision 1 - Purpose of LR-IC District.
One family lakeshore residential district is intended to
provide a district which will allow a combination of medium
density residential development and limited agricultural
activity. Planned Residential Developments may be allowed
by conditional use permits. The proposed land use may not
endanger the quality of storm water run-off ±nto Lake
Minnetonka. Because of the location of the district near
Lake Minnetonka, special regulations are necessary to
protect that natural resource from the effects of intense
development. The district shall have immediate access to
highways and public sanitary sewer.
8. Section 10.03, Subdivision 6(b) - Combination of Separated
Parcels Prohibited. No lot or parcel of land which is
divided by a public, private or platted road or road
easement which results in any segment thereof being less
than the minimum acreage required for that zoning district
shall be allowed to be combined with any separated parcel of
land across the road for purposes of q'ualifying under the
minimum acreage, open space, required yard, setback or
sanitary or a septic system requirements, nor shall building
or density credits be credited or transferred between such
parcels under any provision of this Chapter. Each separate
parcel must individually conform to the provisions of this
Chapter in connection with construction of improvements
thereon.
Review of Current Application -
The applicant proposes the legal combination of the original
platted lots of the Baldur Park plat (Exhibit C), into four
building sites. Staff shall reference the follow ng combined
lots as follows:
Lot
1
- Combine
Lots
21,
22, 23, 24
Lot
2
- Combine
Lots
25,
26, 27
Lot
3
- Combine
Lots
28,
29
Lot
4
- Combine
Lots
31,
32, 33
It is the intent of the applicant and new owner to build on
the legally combined lots without further subdivision. Legally
platteu public roads to the individual sites are now inundated
with water or have been vacated. The lots as currently platted
do n,)t have a platted access. All lots are technically
landlocked in consideration of the current Code. Staff's
understanding of the applicant's position is that because the
lots are legally platted that they have a right to be developed
without the reed for further subdivision. Lacking a written
addendum, it would he appropriate to ask the applicant to
comment.
Zoning File #1618
January 16, 1991
Page 3
The Planning Commission is asked to provide conceptual
direction to the applicant regarding applicant's proposal to
apply for 4 separate variance applications to allow the
development of each building site. Some of the lots as combined
will meet the required 1/2 acre in acre. Remember, total gross
area above the Ordinary High water Mark is at 2.76 acres. The
variance applications would involve excessive hardcover and
lakeshore setback variances. Proposed Lot 1 (review Exhibit G)
does not have a building envelope as it is completely located
within the 75' setback area from both shorelines. Lot 2 will
require not only excessive hardcover but lakeshore setback
variance!. Lots 3 and 4 would require hardcover variances. The
hardcover variances sought would be excessive. If access is to
be achieved via private easement, the area of the easement must
be excluded fron, the lot area. Per Section 10.03, Subdivision 6
(b) the areas divided from building site portions of lot must
also by excluded. Lot area variances may be required for Lots 2
and 3. Unlike the PRD proposal of the recent summer, the
severely limited building envelope cannot be employed to support
building sites because the platted parcels require setbacks from
lot line.
The applicant has not submitted conceptual house plans for
the sites but it would appear from the very defined roof designs
shown on the preliminary plans and the given elevations that
excessive amounts of fill would be eqi,;red to develop each site.
Based on applicant's drawings it would appear that the building
pads are located above the 931.5 elevation. The turnaround and
looped entrance roadway are shown n site plan - how is applicant
proposing to dedicate turnaround as public. right-of-way.
In previous sketch plan reviews, the City has consistently
advised that the most efficient way to develop the remaining
property on Baldur Park penninsula would be through the PRD
allowing for the clustering of homes within limited building
envelopes. It was based on the uniqueness of the penninsula
given the total gross area at 120,395 s.f. or 2.76 acres. It was
understood that hardcover variances would have to be granted
because of the limited building envelope of .5 acres and need to
provide a legal access road.
Issues for Consideration
1. Per Section 11.02, Subdivision 4 (c) and Section 11.33,
Subdivision 4 noted above, can the City legally issue a
building permit for a lot that does not have a legal
approved access?
Zoning File 11618
January 17, 1991
Page 4
2. If a legal access is proviced, woulI you approve the
building site referred to as Lot 1 (combine Lots 21, 22, 23,
and 24)?
3. Would you approve 3 building sites of a reconfiguration or
"recombination" of the 12 exiting lots?
4. Can the limited peninsula site, now that Lot 30 is not
included in the plat, support a formal 3 lot plat and meet
all required setbacks from newly platted lot line .... if
house sites cannot take advantage of defined building
envelope, lakeshore setback variances would have to be
granted.
5. As in the earlier reviews, access and sewer easements are
still an issue because Baldur Park Road is not platted
through to Lot 21. Thf- City wil I ask applicant to contact
the 3 individual property owners and depending upon the
individual responses the City will be obligated to commence
condemnation for an extAnsion of Baldur Park Road to a
turnaround/cul-de-sac.

DATES April 13, 1982
SUBJEM 1669 Tonka Lake Properties - Proposed Subdivision
(PRD)
The basic zoning on this property is U.-IC S acre/unit.
Because of the peninsula location and rueultant 3-aided 75'
setback requirements, this site is a nat.-al one to consider
for PRD cluster -type development allowing for defined housing
pads and common open space close ro the %-ke.
The limiting site factor is the la<e and -- iltant floodplain
area below elevation 931.5. This defines ,jth setback and
hardcover limitations.
All building sites including the existing house are above the
931.5 floodplain elevation. Provided an open space/flowage
easement over Outlot B is granted to the City, Section 31.841 c
allows this flood fringe area (between 929.4 and 931.5) to be
ereditid for density purposes.
All now building sites meet the 75' shoreline setback. The
existing house (aiad proposed lot) encroaches to about 40' from
the shore. It has been demonstrated to staff that 4 lots
totally conforming to the 75' setback are possible if the existing
house were demolished (lot 2 becomes smaller). The request is
to allow the existing structure to remain where it is.
The city could require removal of the existing house and full
compliance with the 75' setback as a PRD condition. However
since 4 conforming lots are feasible, the existing substandard
house location really has no bearing on determination of the
appropriate density.
Therefore, based on setback and net lot area factors, the
allowable density would be 4 or 5 units (2.75 acres - road
O.L.A. .22 acre - 2.53 acre ; .5 - 5 units by area or 4 units
practically possible per plan).
On the other hand, hardcover is extremely limiting. Per 31.931
and 34.202, there can be no hardcover below elevation 931.5,
or within 75' of the shoreline. And in the remaining area
the maximum hardcover can be ;.o more than 253. The maximum
hardcover allowed is therefore only 5526 sf. Any amount over
th.s amount requires a varianco.
based upon the house sizes proposed (excluding drivewy
hardcover) the maximum density allowed by hardcover limitation
would be 2 units, not 4.

Proposed Subdivision - PRD
Any development, including the exist4ng house, requires a
hardcover variance for the driveway (and City street) to
access the building site. The developer claims various
hardships and proposes variour, mitigating factors in his
request for hardcover variances necessary to approve any
construction on this property.
Hardships
1. Lake on 3 sides - peninsula location
2. Driveway and street must be located within 75' of
shoreline and partially below 931.5 elevation
in order to reach buildable triangle.
3. Only 18.51 of the site is above elevation 931.5
and 75' or more from the lake.
4. The exist! g substandard house location predates
the curron setback and hardcover regulations.
Mitigating Jac ors
1. Site topography is such that most all drainage
flows south so that even though the driveway
is within 75' of the north shore,, the drainage
actually flows 85 to 190 ft to the lake.
2. Holding ponds are proposed to retain direct runoff.
3. —he driveway will be relocated farther from the
north shore, and resloped to assure drainage away
from the near shore to the holding ponds.
4 The total hardcover proposed is 16.8% of the
gross land area.
5. Excluding driveway area, the structural hardcover
is 6600 of, 29.8% of the buildable area(above
elevation 931.5 and outside of the 75' setback area).
The bottom line is that any development within the buildable
area, even one house, will require hardcover variances for
the driveway. And the amount of driveway hardcover required
is not significantly different for one house than for 4 or S.
Thus the practical approach is to mi:.imize this driveway hardcover
consistent with access safuty requirements, to redirect driveway
runoff to the holding ponds and thense south to the lake the
long way, and to determine reasonable d «rity allowances by
review of structural hardcover within the huilc:able area,
exci wive of the necessary driveway hardc.uver.

1. Clearly some hardcover variance is required to allow
any driveway on the property.
2. With the driveway hardcover variance, 2 units
(1 existing + 1 new) could be built meeting all
other requirww nts and without further variances.
3. Allowing three units as in the previously approved
plat would require a nominal 10% hardcover variance
within the buildable area.
4. Allowing four units as proposed would require a
s
nominal 201 hardcover variance.
5. Five units as might be allowed by gross lot area
density is clearly not physically practical within
the setback rec,uirements.
Recosmended Considerations for Preliminary Plat Approval
1. Determine reasonable density to be allowed
`
a) 2 u- �o with driveway hardcover var nce only
b) 3 u, j with driveway and 10% structural hardcover variance
s
e) 4 units with driveway and 20t structural hardcover variance
2. Conditioned upon
a) drainage improvements per plan, including holding ponds,
relocated and resloped driveway, building eaves troughs,
maximum hardcover square footage depending upon density,
and orosion control meauures. MCWD munt approve drainage plan.
b) new driveway with turnaround per plan
1) minimum 12' paved width for 2 units
2) minimum 18' paved width for 3 or 4 units
c) dedication of new City cul de sac and ritjht
of way including paving , f utrect anti cul de
sac and rip rappinn ut whore ab in previous
applications.

Subdivision - PRD
d) sewerage if existing house not later tjin July 31,
1902 ($5,000 security check i■ on file to assure
this will happen regardless of whether subdivision
proceeds or not)
e) common open space to be hdid in undivided joint
interest by lot owners, with open space and flowage
easement to the City.
f) joint dockage not to exceed 1 slip per lot, located
as on plan. if 3 or 4 lots approved, then dockay
should be divided as shown in , .ich case we recommend
no need for a joint use dock license.
g) removal of existing garage and sheds as shown on
the plans (demolition permit required).
h) regrading, landscaping and sodding of all disturbed
areas.
i` payment of extra fees, depending upon approved density,
for park dedication and sewer units.
3. Note that the City should be prepared to condemn any public
road right of way as may be necessary to allow extension
of public road paving from end of paved road to new cul
de sac. The developer should again -ry to privately acquire
the necessary right of way, but I do expect public condemnation
will be necessary.

Subject: #1618 William F. Pucel, Baldur Park Peninsula -
Sketch Plan Review
Pertinent Ordinance -
Section 10.32 - PRD Ordinance.
Section 10.22, Subdivision 1 (A) - Homesite 1 requires
lakeshore setback.
Required = 75'
Proposed = 50'
Variance = 25' or 33.3%
Section 10.22, Subdivision 2 - Lakeshore hardcover and land
alteration regulations.
A) Hardcover Facts:
Tota: Area = 120,395 s.f. or 2.76 acres
Area within 75-250' Setback Zone = 22,000+ s.f.
or .5 acres*
Allowed Hardcover = 5,500 s.f. or 25%
Proposed Hardcover for Each Homesite/Pad = 5,500 s.f.
(includes 3 car garage, drives, decks and sidewalks)
Total Proposed Hardcover = 16,500 s.f. or 75%
B) Land alterations within 0-75' setback area.
Applicant proposes the installation of sewer lines
within the southern shoreline located within the 0-75'
setback area and floodplain. Note cul-de-sac will be
located within portions of the floodplain. Land
alterations within floodplain and 0-75' require
variance and conditional use approval by the City of
Orono. Such land alterations also require approval of
the DNR, Corp c.f r'ngineers and MCWD.
* with formal application, applicant will be responsible for
submitting revised area calculations for 75-250' setback
area. 22,000 was an approximation made by staff for
previous sketch plan review when Lot 30 was excluded from
proposal.
Section 10.32, Subdivision 3 - Council discretion. Dwelling
units permitted at discretion of Council subject to
limitations provided for in each zoning district.

- 1982 Plat - 75-250' Building Envelope
The applicant proposes three residential pads and an open
space outlot that includes the private drive at a 16' travelled
width. As already note above, the applicant wishes to be allowed
5,500 s.f. of hardcover to dev_lop each of the three residential
pads. One of he proposed building envelopes will encroach the
75' setback 1 i ne and i s proposed at 50' f rom the 929.4'
elevation. The applicant proposes three residential docks to
serve the three residences along the north shore within the open
space outlot.
As already noted in app'irant's addendum, applicant has met
with the adjacent neighbors, and as before, the neighbors have
voiced strong opposition to development of the peninsula. Review
Exhibit F, Baldur Park Road right-of-way (1ficially ends at Lots
17 and 18. The trave' led road extends through portions of Lots
19 and 20. App11ca- has provided a description and diagram
(Exhibits D and F), depicting An easement through Lots 20 and 21.
Applicant owns remainder of driveway tbit continues on to the
pui nt of pen i su 1 a. It would appear the applicant has also had
discussions with John Gerhardson concerning extent and type
maintenance performed by City with upkeep of road. All of these
issues snould he addressed by the City Attorney when a formal
application is filed, in order to determine what bteps are
legally necessary to acquire legal access for the applicant's
nroperty.

Issues for Discussion -
1. Lacking any clear direction ii, your PRD ordinance, does
the PRD appear consistent with other Planned Residential
Developments approved by the City (i.e. open space outlot,
configuration of pads, etc.).
2. What is your position on the density at three units? A
previous application for a three lot plat included Lot 30.
Review Exhibit I that depicts the 75-250' building envelope.
3. What is the Planning Commission's position on the
approval of the akeshore setback variance for building vad
- homesite #1? Would the three unit density be m-re
acceptable if lakeshore setback variance was not required
and building envelopes were more clustered within the 75-
250' setback area? Is that possible with Lot 30 excluded?
4 What is your position regarding applicant's request for
5,500 f.f. of hardcover for each building pad? If you
approve this percentage of hardcover per building site,
would you seek a reduction in density?
5. -he applicant's addendum has set forth the hardships
very clearly for this unique property? Do you agree that
the property is so unique that the City would not be setting
a negative precedent with the approval of variances for new
development? with the preliminary approval of the previouo
3 lot plat in 1982, the City approved hardcover variances
only for the two undeveloped lots; Lot 2 was limited to a
121 hardcover variance. Total hardcover at 37%. Lot 3 was
limited to 37% hardcover variance for total hardcover
percentage at 62%.
Lot 1 would be allowed additional hardcover within the 75-
250' setback area, but only if there was equal or greater
reductions in the existing hardcover within the 0-75'
setback area.
Planning Commission directives to applicant in the filing of
a formal application for a PRD/s bdivision. The Planning
Commission is asred to provide the applicant with specific
direction as to what is acceptable or the degree of variance that
would be allowed within this PRD development.
1. Number of density units allowed'.- Approximate total or
gross area - 120,395 s.f. With formal application, this
area should be reconfirmed now that Lot 30 is no longer
included. Is 3 unit density more acceptable if there is no
encroachment of 75' setback line?

March 13, 1991
Page 4 of 6
2. Allowed hardcover for each building pad. To..al area
within 75-250' setback area is .5 acres or 22,000+ s.f.
Once again, this area must also be confirmed in the formal
subdivision PRD applicAtion. Applicant proposes 5,500 s.f.
for each pad or 75% coverage within the 75-250' setback
area.
Based on the final configuration of the building pads and
the design of the PRD, Planring Commission may consider the
following options regarding allowed hardcover, as fellows:
A) Allowed percentage of the total area within the 75-250'
setback area and allow applicant/developer to distribute the
allowed hardcover to each of the building pads, i.e.:
Total Area = 22,000 s.f.
Allowed = 5,500 s.f. or 25%
Approved for PRD = 9,900 s.f. or 45%
Homesites 1 i 2, Allowed = 3,000 s.f. each
Homesite 3, Allowed = 3,900 s.f.
B) Establish a fixed percentage of hardcover variance based
on the pads within the PRD irregardless of size of each pad
- similar to applicant's request.
At Two Padss
Total Area = 22,000 s.f.
Area of Each Pad = 11,000
Allowed Hardcover = 2,750 s.f. or 25•
or
or
A) Proposed Hardcover = 3,500 s.f. or 31.8%
Variance = 750 s.f. or 6.8%
B) Pr,)posed 4,000 or 36.4%
Variance = 1,250 ;.f. or il.48
C) Proposed = 5,000 or 45.`_•8
Variance = 2,250 s.f. or 20.5%
At Three Pads:
Area of Each Pad 7,333 s.f.
Allowed Hardcover 1,833.2 s.f. or 25%
or
or
A) Proposed Hardcover - 2,500 s.f. or 34%
Variance = 666.8 s.f. or 9%
B) Approved 3,000 s.f. or 40.7%
Variance - 1,166.8 s.f. or 15.9%
C) Approved = 4,000 s.f. or 54.5%
Variance - 2,166.8 s.f. or 29.5%

or
D) As proposed by applicant:
Proposed = 5,500 sf. or 75%
Variance = 3,666.8 s.f. or 50%
If Members are agreeable to granting hardcover variances,
will you also grant a setback variance as requested by applicant
for new development.
Staff's 'irectives to the applicant:
1. Youi normal application will include not only a
subdivision/PRD, but must include variance and conditional
use permit for hardcover variances proposed with application
and land alterations %-thin the 6-75' setback area that will
also exceed 100 cubic yards.
2. As filling and grading activities are proposed within
the floodplain area and within 50' of the lakeshore, your
application must be reviewed by the following agencies:
Department of Natural Resources
Minnehaha Creek Watershed District
Corp of Engineers
3. Upon formal application, the City staff will present the
information regarding the easements through Lots 20 -ri
confirm the maintenance records of the City for Baldur ' K
Road and ask for an opinion from the City Attorney a�. to
legal steps that axe necessary to gain legal access for the
proposed PRD.
4. The cul-de-sac area shall be shown as a dedicated right-
of-way for Baldur Park Road. Applicant proposes the drive
at 16' width. This will be subject to the review of the
City staff and consultants. Applicant is asking that this
road be retained as a private road. Entrance monuments and
gate should be shown on the plan and profiles and elevations
submitted with the formal application.
5. Applicant's engineer should make arrangements to meet
with the City staff to discuss extension of municipal
services and to work with owner of Lot 30 to determine share
and cost of improvement. The formal plans for the PRD and
subdivision should include the following information:
- besignate the g29.4' elevation as ordinary high water
wank of Lake Minnetonka.
- Floodplain elevation at 931.5'.
Zoning File 01618

- Define each building pad or homesite. Within each
pad define the 75' setback line.
- Provide detailed to -scale drawings of each building
pad showing access drives and outline of principal
structure.
Based on final recommendation of Planning Commission
regarding options for determining allowed hardcover for
each pad, applicant shall provide a break -down of
hardcover within each site plan.
- Preliminary subdivision should show extended sewer
line within southern shoreline.
6. Applicant will be responsible for the demolition of the
accessory stru cures on the property prior to final plat
approval. Applicant should consult with staff regarding the
removal/burning of debris and piles of rubbish on the site.
BALDUR PARK 2-22-1991
We, Bill and Jean Pucel, are submitting the enclosed sketch plan for
developement of the Baldur Park Peninsula.
We realize this particular property has a long history before the
commission. Several previous attempts in developement have failed to
materialize, partially due to the expectations of the developer and
partially due to the constraints imposed by the City. We realize the
Commission and Council cannot use financial reasons for making their
decisions, however, financial concerns are extremely important to the
&-eloper. As the City requirements are placed on a property the developer
must pass the cost on to the lot purchaser (Additional costs divided over
the number of lots.)
This particular property unique in its shape, long, narrow and smaller
building envelope has water on three of its sides which has further reduced
the ouildable land due to setback requirements. The conditions applying to
this development are peculiar to this property because it involves a
peninsula rather than a typical lot fronting water on one side only. The
conditions at Baldur Park do not generally apply to other land or structures
and nc unwanted precedent would be created in this situation because the
variances would apply only to this unique peninsula.
Road, cul de sac, sewer, site developement requirements, plus land purchase
dictate to the developer the necessity of a four lot subdivision. We are
trying to make it viable with three. When the word "we" cr "developer" is
used, please note this represents Jean and myself, not some big corporation
in downtown M;nneapolis. We plan on living on the end lot ourselves, so we
are paying pu,:ticular attention to environmental conditions, aesthetics,
(costs) and want to be part of the neighborhood and community of Orono.
We have had several meetings with Jeanne Mabusth and are trying to
incorporate her guidance to the best of our ability into the sketch plan.
So let's start at thc, ',eginniny and give to you our thoughts and concerns.
Jean and I have met with David Mess, cwner of the existing home on lot 30,
to dis-uss our plans and pursure the possibility of purchasing h-s property
and including it in the developement. The price is out of line with the
value of the surrounding property and does not increase the buildable land
nor give any other advantage other than change of appearance.
Jean and I met with the neighbors in early January, 19`' to introduce
ourselves and share our plans for the peninsula and to inquire if they would
be willing to grant us a road easement . Attending were Mr. and Mrs.
Storling (Wendy -owner of lot 20), and Mr. and Mrs. Keesling. (owners of lot
19). Unfortunately they entered with great hostilities towards us, probably
because of their experiences with the previous owners. The result of the
meeting -As, They didn't want their park built on, well maybe they would
allow one house. They plan to stop developement by not allowing access to
the property. '''he enclosed road survey shows that a point of lot 17 and 18
(Mr. Berry's property, who could not attend, but was contacted later and
would get bark to us) extended 3(_oss the existing road. The original road
has teen allowed to gradually erode and migrate through use onto their
P
c
property for several ,ears as Hurd aerial surveys show. The Keeslings
(owners of a home on a 50'lot, lot 19) have a few feet of the road now on
their property. Wendy Storling (owner of a 50' lot plus portions of lot 21)
stated that we have no easment across her property. I stated that was not
the case and she was fully aware of the easement which is recor6--d against
her property and is an attached Exhibit A for your reading with this sketch
plan. The Keeslings and Wendy stated they would not give an easement. I
have an easement across lct 20 and if I steer a little to the left I don't
touch the Keeslings foot or so. Please note that Wendy must trespass (if
they want to use that word) onto my property (lot 21) to get out of her
garage. I searched the 'iorrens Certificates and The Storlings and Keeslings
do not have a recorded easement to cross lot 17 S 18. However, in
consulting Robert Mitchell from the Linquist-Vennum law firm, he feels
access is not the problem. The public use of said property for more than 15
years allows access. In addition the City has maintained winter snow
ret, —al up to and through lot 20 for more tfan 6 years thereby making that
portion a public street. As you can see by the survey, I have a
nonexclusive driveway easement for the rest. If the city must condemn the
necessary land so be it.
To minimize environmental impact and hardcover, I am proposing a 50,
surfaced cul de sac with 100' right of way as indicated on the sketch plan
and a 16' hard surfaced private drive following basically the same path as
the existing road (which is partially hard surfaced already). The position
of the cut de sac will provide a greater read distance from Wendy Storling's
property. Entrance enhancements and gates will be constructed as to City
approval. The issue of the access road hardcover was accepted by the
Planning Commission previously. Water run off from the road will be
collected into a drainage pipe aryl directed to a holding pond.
I called John Gairhartscn (sp) to inquire on the depth of the sewer manhole
nearest the project (lot 20 is hooked up to the sewer). He stated the depth
to re 4 112 feet, so a lift station will be necessary to provide waste
disposal from the sites. With sewer being brought out to the point, the
existing home (lot 30) will now have sewer available and should share in the
expense of providing such. Sewer and other utilities access will come
along the southwest shoreline side of the porperty to a;oid damage to the
root system of the large trees along the road area.
Environ,-nentaly, great care is to be taken to preserve the natural setting
that makes this site desireable. At Jeanne Mabusth's suggestion, other
than existing, only a 50' strip of grass will be allowed around the home
site. The shoreline vegetation will remain intact. Dockage will be along
the norhteast shore with three private docks positioned along the
400'shoreline. The homeowners associatin for th,s project will be jointly
responsible for maintainence and upkeep. The large outlot A includes the
road and open space areas from the cul de sac on up to the first homesite.
The outlot would be kept natural and as :s (minus brush and debris presently
onsite.) The site name of "San De Mar" stands for sand and marsh
representing the substantial sandhill, sand} shoreline and 'she marsh like
area. The marsh area is not a dedicated marsh area as far af the DNR :s
-oncerned, however it will be maintained as such. Land contours will not be
..,ltered as in the Marco Franklin proousal. We wi'1 build on slabs for site
one and two and excavate for a basemente for site thicc leaving all other
07' 1. 43 1- e-0
topography as is. 'Nees in the 0 -75 area are not shown on the sketch an
approximation of trees inside the 75 - 125 are indicated. I would like to
keep all trees if possible and the home design demonstrates this.
The homes to be built will average approximately 5,500 sq. ft., three car
garage (no boats will be allowed to be stored outside), normal deckage, and
sidewalk from driveway to main entry.
The existing PRD code is very brad and subject to approval of the council
to grant \,ariances and in this case the undue hardship caused by the unique
peninsula leaving a great amount of open land requires variances. I have
proposed an optimal configuration for the city to give variances for proper
placement of the three home sites rather than cramming into the envelope and
destroying numerous trees.
We would lik^ the Planning Commission to consider:
TOTAL SITE 120,395 SQ. FT.
BASED ON STAFF'S BUILDABLE
ENVELOPE 22,000 SQ. FT.
THE PER CENTAGE OF BUILDABLE LAND TO THE TOTAL LAND IS 18%
With PRD format of development an applicant may gain benefit of total gross
area for density credit. Total gross area 2.76 acres
Allowed density is 5 units
Refer to Exhibit B:
The City approved plan of 1978 had a :iardcover of "i2%
A revised PRD plan concept Jan 25, 1982 the hardcover was i4%
Marco Franklins proposal 1990 Staff calculated at approximately 60%
The City approved at Lot 20, 1376 Baldur Park (the property adjacent to the
proposed site) a new garage in 1976 and renovated house 1980 with the
HARDCOVER OF 121%, and I believe this home has been added to SINCE that time
again. At 1408 Baldur Park Rd the Ci*y approved remodelirr the existing
house and building a new garage with a variance for garage setback from 75'
to 54'.
We request a variance to allow a total of b6% hardcover in the buildable
envelope to include the 3 homes, garage , decks, sidewalks, and driveways
inside the 75-125 setback. This represents less than 12% of the total PRD
land. In addition I am requesting that portions of the homesite number 1 be
allowed a lakeshore setback to the DNR requirement of 50' as shown on the
enclosed site plan. ,n turn, I will hold back from the 75' line on homesite
3. This will allow keeping of existing trees. As this is a sketch plan I
am showing approximate pl:;i i^r a nl size of the homes. Some repositioning
or shifting of homesites maybe necessary but within uie vva hardcover
allowance.
We have met with Jeanr. Mabusth on several occasions. ine have attended an
Orono Planning Commission meeting as observers. We have met with the
neighbors. Jean and I would very mu,-h like to become part of your Orono
community and have put our hest faith effort forward for your review. We
hope you look kindly on it. Thank You.

PRD/SUBDIVISION-SKETCH PLAN REVIEW
Mr. Pucel asked Mabusth if she would review his sketch plan
again `.or the benefit of the Planning Commission members not
present at the Mar,7h 18, or Marsh 20 Planning Commission :meeting.
Mabusth displayed M.-. Pucel's sketch plan and brieflyexplained his proposal. She also showed the Planning Commission
the three -lot subdivision proposed for this property by Marco
Franklin. Mabusth noted that Mr. Franklin's proposal did not
include any encroachment of the 73 foot setback area, that it did
not require any setback Variances, and nad smaller house pads.
The gradinc- plan did n•.)t include any grading within the 0-75'
setback ate.. The issues involved with hardcover and the road
would have needed to be addressed.
Coher. said, "In my opinion, this prooer_y will not suop,.=rt
three units, it will support one house.
Mr. Puce! a.�kad what other issues the P'_anninc Commission
would like him to address other than the road. He stated that he
did not feel he had received sufficient direction from the
Planninq Commission on what he could do to develop this property.
Johnson question3d whether Mr. Pucel was planning the same
stormwater treatment and grading plans as those s-.ibmitted b;
Marci Franklin. 'ie stated that evan thoui

to determine er issues that need to be addressed. Johnson
did a3ree tha 'RD is the way this parcel needs to b-a
developed, but not state whether or not he would approve

Mr. Puce_ raj. u, "Th.? road would sixteen feet and the-e
would be a draina3t area that would f.-w int-) a holding pond.
There would not be any grading as we woe j build on site without

She said, "i agree %ii1 :1 .eLL t.^.3� �fle 11L�r^3L��n � �� has been
prvv ided to as is insufficient in order for us to mace anv real
-
determinations. I have said in the past, and will reiterate,
that in ,,v opinion, access to this property firs` a,d foremc,st,
must be solved before construction of anything can b;? considered.
This is the first time I have heard Mr. Pucei mention his plans
nor the road, drainace, or sewer. I nave serious questions about
whether or not this property can be developed beyond a single
unit. The only way I can see development occurring is under the
guidelines o` a PRD. However, it would have b? a PRD that is in
strict conformance %,th all other zoning regulations."
Mobs agreed that ,Mr. Pucel had not provided sufficient
information, given the sensitive nature of the this property.
She stated that she does not believe t e property %rill support
more than one home.
Rowlette stated that construction of three additional home-;
on this property, with the pad size indicated by Mr. Pucel, would
create more hardcover than she could approve.
Hanson .;tated that becauze this property is ,o sensitive, he
would not consider any application that will require Variances.
He did say that he would consider a variation from the Code in
order for the provision of adequate access.
Cohen said, "l 3m consistent with my recommendations for
denying hardcover within the )-75' setback area, and would
itinue my polity in this case. I cannot sae more tha: one
additional home on this property."
Bellows explained to Mr. Puce-1 that tee idea o` a PRD is not
to p,jsh the intention of any of the City's Zoning Variances or
restrictions in terms of allowing someone to build something that
exceeds what a proper-y can sustain. She sail, "Th-e point of a
P?D is to give a landowner some degree of latitude. Lt is
designe.' •-o allow someone to develop a piece of property that has
some unique features oy clustering, or other means, that will
result in a minimal impact on tnat site. In my opinion, Mr.
Pucel, your proposal goes against the spirit of wha` a ?RD is.
You have simply taken three, very large, foot pads and put them
out on a site on land. That is not the point of a PRD. You have
heard very clearly from the Planning Commission that if we are to
recommend approval of a PRD on this site, we would not allow any
other Variances."
Jabbour suggested if the property owner proceeds with
development plans that the survey be confirmed before he is given
approval. He stated that the s:.)ithwest corner of the point
continues to slide n'o the lace a -id the survey Mr. Pucel has
provided is three years old.
