Staff present: Finance Director Maggie Jin, Parks and Facilities Superintendent Joe Ruthenberg, Public Works Superintendent DJ Goman, Community Development Director Laura Oakden, City Clerk Christine Lusian, Accountant Anne Hentges. FEESCHEDULE The work session focused on reviewing updated fees the city will charge for services in 2026. Staff review fees at least annually to ensure rate structures accurately reflect cost of services provided and departments propose updates to the schedule. MN State Statutes 462.353 requires the adoption of a fee schedule with planning and zoning fees and a public hearing to allow for citizen input. Discussion centered on reviewing the fees and charges, verifying that current fees still cover costs despite inflation and staff wage increases, and where appropriate or relevant rates were benchmarked with comparable cities. Council reviewed proposed utility rate adjustments: a 10% increase for water, 3% for sewer and storm fees, and a 3% rise in recycling fees to offset future cost escalations. Animal licensing, which has not been enforced in years, is proposed for removal from the fee schedule. Council members requested a review of brush site revenue and expenses to ensure fees reflect operating costs. The group addressed Fire Marshal service costs, directing staff to compare internal and contracted expenses to help the Shoreline Fire Department Board justify a full-time marshal position.

COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT REPORT 19. LA25-000042, 1840 Shadywood Rd., Lot Area, Lot Width, and Hardcover Variances Page 1 of 3 4i Minutes City Council Regular Meeting Monday, November 10, 2025, 6:00 PM City Council Chambers 2780 Kelley Parkway, Orono, MN 55356 The City Council is requested to review the Staff report, receive a presentation, and discuss and deny the hardcover variance. The Planning Commission had recommended approving the lot area and lot width variances and denying the hardcover variance. Staff agreed that the hardcover variance is not supported by practical difficulty and suggested several ways to reduce the hardcover. The applicant was not present. The Council discussed the item and asked questions of staff. Councilmembers noted the lot is difficult, and the existing situation has been above the hardcover limit. Other neighbors have detached garages near the street, and having a turnaround is critical on Shadywood. Persian moved, Ricks seconded, to table the application in order to hear from the homeowner. VOTE: Ayes 4, Nays 0. The applicant arrived at the meeting about 6:49 p.m. Schwingler moved, Persian seconded, to take the item off the table. VOTE: Ayes 4, Nays 0. Scott Erickson, 1840 Shadywood Rd., the applicant, explained their plan to replace a 1950s rambler with a house that can work for their family. The new plan is a slight reduction in hardcover. He said they tried to find ways to further reduce the hardcover. With a long, very narrow lot, the driveway eats up most of the hardcover allowance. Persian indicated the resident is working with the City, but it is difficult to see how the owners can continue the appropriate use of the property without the proposed amount of hardcover. Persian moved, Schwingler seconded, to approve all variances for 1840 Shadywood Rd., including the hardcover variance. VOTE: Ayes 4, Nays 0. 20. LA25-000039, Text Amendment Regarding Retaining Walls The City Council is requested to review the Staff report, receive a presentation, and discuss the text amendment relating to retaining walls. The Planning Commission had suggested revised wording regarding replacement vegetation so that disturbed areas could be replaced with like vegetation. The code addresses new walls of at least five feet. Staff asked the Council to provide feedback on the language. The Council discussed the item and asked questions of staff. Councilmembers asked to see examples of mow -less grass. 21. Hackberry Park Ricks said that with the proposed renovation of Hackberry Park being discussed, it might be a good time to look at acquiring more property for parking. A nearby property may be coming up for sale. The consensus of the Council was to have staff look into the availability of the property and the budget ramifications. FINANCE DIRECTOR REPORT 22. Set 2026 Utility Rates Page 2 of 3 6 Minutes City Council Regular Meeting Monday, November 10, 2025, 6:00 PM City Council Chambers 2780 Kelley Parkway, Orono, MN 55356 The City Council is requested to review the Staff report, receive a presentation, and discuss and set 2026 Utility Rates. Finance Director Jim presented several different scenarios for graduated increases in water rates. Staff recommended a scenario that would increase rates by 10 percent each of the next three years, rather than a 25 percent increase next year. The City Council had indicated previously that it did not support a large one-time increase. Increases in sewer. Stormwater and recycling would be three percent. The Council discussed the item and asked questions of staff. Ricks moved, Persian seconded, to adopt the utility rates for 2026 based on scenario 4. VOTE: Ayes 4, Nays 0. ATTORNEY REPORT None MAYOR/COUNCIL REPORT Mayor and Council provided reports.

Process: New Council Member Orientation (CM Schwingler) City Hall Sustainability / Resiliency City Hall Dept Heads Adam, Laura, DJ The work session dates and times are set by the city's official meeting calendar, which the staff presents and the council approves in the November timeframe for the following year. Historically, the city has scheduled two hours per month for work sessions. Sometimes that has been one, two- hour session per month with more recent schedules having two, one -hour sessions per month. These regularly scheduled meetings have then been augmented by special meetings to cover specific topics that do not fit within the regular schedule, or require additional time to adequately cover a given topic. 4. Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends that the next work session proceed as scheduled. If the Council would like to adjust the schedule, please provide that guidance and staff will make the necessary changes. COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED Consider a motion to approve the work session schedule. 24 AGENDA ITEM Date: November 24, 2025 Title: Contract - Code Hosting & Updating Presenter: Christine Lusian, City Clerk Section: Consent Agenda Purpose: The purpose is to approve a contract for code hosting and supplementation services. Item: 4 2. Background: CivicPlus Municode, the city's code management service provider, is transitioning its billing structure from a per -page rate for updates/amendments (supplementation) services to a flat, subscription -based annual model. This change will not affect our process and the preparation of supplements will continue exactly as it does now. Under the new subscription model, the annual flat rate (full -service supplementation) will cover all services currently provided when we submit ordinances for updates or amendments to the code of ordinances, including zoning -related changes. Full -service city code supplementation is the process of updating a city's official code of ordinances to include new legislation and ensure it remains current and legally accurate. This process involves incorporating new ordinances into the existing code and includes comprehensive legal and editorial work, maintenance, and digital publishing. 3. Cost: Under the current per -page billing model, our annual costs have fluctuated depending on the volume and complexity of ordinances submitted each year. Over the past eight years, expenses have ranged from a low of $1,700 (2022) to a high of $8,161 (2019), without a predictable pattern. This variability is tied to the number of ordinance updates completed in a given year, particularly those involving zoning which tend to be more document -intensive. Switching to a flat annual subscription will make budgeting for code updates much more predictable. Instead of costs going up and down each year based on how many ordinances we update, the city will pay the same set amount each year. The first year of the subscription includes a 50% discount. After that, the subscription renews automatically each year unless the city chooses to cancel it. The cost can increase by up to 5% each year. For reference, our historical costs under the existing per -page billing model (not including the recent legal review and implementation services) over the past eight years and estimated subscription costs are: Historical Estimated Year Cost Year Cost 2025 $3,947 2026 $3,075 2024 $7,792 2027 $5,460 25 2023 $2,021 2028 $5,733 2022 $1,700 2029 $6,019.65 2021 $5,750 2030 $6,320.63 2020 $6,630 2031 $6,636.66 2019 $8,161 2032 $6,968.49 2018 $7,651 2033 $7,316.92 This model removes the year-to-year cost swings we've had under the current per -page billing system and makes future expenses easier to plan for. For services outside the scope of the annual supplement services, a per -page rate of $23 will be applied and may be subject to a one-time additional editorial fee and an increase in the annual supplement rate and online hosting fee. 4. Staff Recommendation: Consider a motion to approve the subscription -based contract for city code hosting and supplementation services. COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED Consider a motion to approve the subscription -based contract for city code hosting and supplementation services. Exhibits A.

No. 26147 09-12-24 AGENDA ITEM Date: November 24, 2025 Title: Casco Cove Rehabilitation - Award Presenter: Adam Edwards, City Administrator / Engineer Section: Consent Agenda Item: 9 Purpose: The purpose of the item is to accept a quote for the stormwater improvement at Casco Cove. 2. Background: The improvement intends to address flooding potential, adequately convey runoff and improve water quality. The current stormwater infrastructure is insufficient to address localized flooding issues and offers limited to no treatment prior to release into Lake Minnetonka. This project need was identified in the City's Surface Water Management Plan. 3. Scope: This project has been broken into two parts. This portion would improve the bioretention basin by removing dead and dying trees and revegetating the area with native wetland plantings. The second part, which will be awarded later, will replace a section of the outlet piping from the basin. 4. Cost: The city solicited and received quotes from two contractors. The low quote is from TreeStory, Inc., Inc. for $18,198. Project Costs: Activity Vendor Cost Comments Design and Engineering Bolton & $35 000 Previously Approved - Menk Not to Exceed Construction - Basin TreeStory, $18,198 Restoration Inc. Construction Oversight- Bolton & $ 3,400 Not to Exceed Basin Restoration Menk Construction- Pipe TBD Replacement Construction Oversight- TBD Pipe Replacement Total $56,598 Funding: The project is funded by the Stormwater Fund. The CIP allocated $161,000 for this project. The projected end of year balance for the fund is $645,000. 6. Staff Recommendation: I recommend acceptance of the Quote for TreeStory, Inc. This portion of the project is best initiated during the winter months. 40 COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED Move to accept Quote for TreeStory, Inc. for $18,198 and approve construction oversight quote from Bolton & Menk for a fee not to exceed $3,400.

Background: At their November 10 meeting, the Council directed staff to draft a resolution approving a hardcover variance to permit 32.5% (6,425 s.f.) hardcover; and lot area and lot width variances to construct a new home on the existing substandard -sized lot. The November 10 staff report provides additional background. 4. Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends approval. COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED Council should consider adopting Resolution 7643 as drafted. Exhibits A. Draft Resolution 7643 B. Council Memo 11/10/2025 48 CITY OF ORONO RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL NO. 7643 A RESOLUTION APPROVING VARIANCES FROM MUNICIPAL ZONING CODE SECTIONS 6.12.1550 and 6.12.9210 FILE NO. LA25-000042 WHEREAS, on September 17, 2025, Scott Erickson and Ingrid Erickson, a married couple (hereinafter the "Applicants"), applied for variances from the City Code for the property addressed 1840 Shadywood Road, and legally described as: Lot 25, Shadywood, Hennepin County, Minnesota, (hereinafter the "Property"); WHEREAS, the Applicants have made application to the City of Orono for variances from Orono Municipal Zoning Code Section 6.12.1550 to allow redevelopment of a lot 19,789 square feet (0.45 acre) in area and 60 feet in width, where 0.5 acre and 100 feet of width are required; and WHEREAS, the Applicants have made application to the City of Orono for a variance from Orono Municipal Zoning Code Section 6.12.9210 to allow 6,425 square feet or 32.5% hardcover where 6,427 square feet (32.5%) currently exists and 25% is the maximum permitted; and WHEREAS, on October 20, 2025, after published and mailed notice in accordance with Minnesota Statutes and the City Code, the Planning Commission held a public hearing, at which time all persons desiring to be heard concerning this application were allowed to speak thereon; and WHEREAS, on October 20, 2025, the Planning Commission recommended denial of the hardcover variance and approval of the lot are and lot width variance with a 7-0 vote; and WHEREAS, on November 10, 2025, the City Council reviewed the application and the recommendations of the Planning Commission and City staff, and identified practical difficulties to support the requested variances. Council directed preparation of findings for approval of the variances. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of Orono, Minnesota, hereby approves the requested variances as described above based on one or more of the following findings of fact concerning the Property: 49 CITY OF ORONO RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL NO. 7643 FINDINGS OF FACT: Al. The analysis contained within staff memos and the exhibits attached to the aforesaid memos, all minutes from the above -mentioned meetings, and all other materials distributed at these meetings are hereby incorporated by reference. A2. The Property is located in the LR-1 C One -Family Residential Zoning District. A3. The Property contains 0.45 acres in area and has a defined lot width of 60 feet. A4. The Property is within Tier 1 and hardcover is limited to 25% according to the Stormwater Quality Overlay District. A5. Applicant has applied for the following variances: a. Lot Area Variance b. Lot Width Variance c. Hardcover Variance A6. In considering this application for variances, the Council has considered the advice and recommendation of the Planning Commission and the effect of the proposed variances upon the health, safety, and welfare of the community, existing and anticipated traffic conditions, light and air, danger of fire, risk to the public safety, and the effect on values of property in the surrounding area. ANALYSIS: B1. "Variances shall only be permitted when they are in harmony with the general purposes and intent of the ordinance ...." The proposed variances are in harmony with the purpose of the Ordinance. The substandard lot has difficulties in its depth and narrow width, existing improvements, and the lack of on -street parking opportunities on Shadywood Road, making development difficult. B2. "Variances shall only be permitted ... when the variances are consistent with the comprehensive plan." The variances requested to redevelop the property with nonconforming lot area and width are consistent with the comprehensive plan. The hardcover level requested to support the redevelopment reflects a minimal reduction from the existing condition, which is reasonable. 50 CITY OF ORONO RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL NO. 7643 B3. "Variances may be granted when the applicant for the variance establishes that there are practical difficulties in complying with the zoning ordinance. 'Practical difficulties,' as used in connection with the granting of a variance, means that: a. The property owner in question proposes to use the property in a reasonable manner, however, the proposed use is not permitted by the official controls. The request to permit the construction of a new residence on the substandard lot is reasonable. The proposed hardcover level is a reduction from the existing condition and is reasonable. b. The plight of the landowner is due to circumstances unique to his property not created by the landowner. The substandard lot size is an existing condition, and there is no available land with which to make the property more conforming. The location and size of the existing garage and driveway, restricted roadway, lot size, width, and depth are challenges not created by the owners. The hardcover improvements are designed to be minimal yet functional. As designed, the project reduces the current hardcover level; c. The variance, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the locality. " The variances are requested to permit the construction of a new home on the substandard residential property, which is reasonable. B4. "Economic considerations alone do not constitute practical difficulties." Economic considerations have not been a factor in the variance approval determination. B5. "Practical difficulties also include but are not limited to inadequate access to direct sunlight for solar energy systems. Variances shall be granted for earth -sheltered construction as defined in Minn. Stat. § 216C.06, subd. 2, when in harmony with Orono City Code Chapter 78." This condition is not applicable. B6. "The board or the council may not permit as a variance any use that is not permitted under Orono City Code Chapter 78 for property in the zone where the affected person's land is located." This condition is not applicable, as a residence is an allowed use in the LR-1C District. B7. "The board or council may permit as a variance the temporary use of a one -family dwelling as a two-family dwelling." This condition is not applicable. B8. "The special conditions applying to the structure or land in question are peculiar to such property or immediately adjoining property." The property's substandard size (width and depth), location, and existing conditions create difficulties that also apply to many of the 51 CITY OF ORONO RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL NO. 7643 properties in the same neighborhood. The proposed hardcover level is a reduction from the existing condition and will not be out of character. B9. "The conditions do not apply generally to other land or structures in the district in which the land is located." Other properties in the Shadywood neighborhood are subject to similar difficulties, although the Property's depth and width are unique. B10."The granting of the application is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a substantial property right of the applicant." The proposed structural level (new home plus the existing detached garage) is 566 square feet under the 20% maximum. Granting the lot area and width variances is necessary for the preservation of the property rights of the owners. The proposed hardcover level includes a minor reduction from the existing condition. B11."The granting of the proposed variance will not in any way impair health, safety, comfort, or morals, or in any other respect be contrary to the intent of this chapter." Granting the requested variances would not be contrary to the intent of the zoning chapter. B12. "The granting of such variance will not merely serve as a convenience to the applicant, but is necessary to alleviate demonstrable difficulty." The variances for hardcover and lot size are necessary and do not merely serve as a convenience to the owners. CONCLUSIONS, ORDER, AND CONDITIONS: Based upon one or more of the above findings, the Orono City Council hereby grants a variance to Orono Municipal Zoning Code Section 6.12.1550 to allow redevelopment of a lot 19,789 square feet (0.45 acre) in area and 60 feet in width, where 0.5 acre and 100 feet of width are required; and Section 6.12.9210 to allow 6,425 square feet or 32.5% hardcover in conjunction with construction of a new home, subject to the following conditions: C1.Council approval is based on the entire record, above Findings. C2.The approved project shall conform to the survey dated 10/09/2025 submitted by the Applicants and annotated by City staff, attached to this Resolution as Exhibit A. C3.Any amendments to the plans that do not conform to City codes may require additional review by the Planning Commission and City Council. C4.Authorities granted by this resolution run with the Property, not with the Applicants, but are permissive only and must be exercised by obtaining a building permit for the new construction and commencing construction of said project. A building permit must be 52 CITY OF ORONO RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL NO. 7643 obtained within one year of the date of Council approval, or the variance will expire on that date (November 24, 2026). C5.Violation of or non-compliance with any of the terms and conditions of this resolution may result in the termination of any authority granted herein. ADOPTED by the Orono City Council on this 24th day of November, 2025.

MN§15.99 Application Deadline: This application was submitted on September 17th and considered complete on October 14, 2025. The 60-day review timeline will end on December 13, 2025. 3. Background: The applicants request lot width, lot area, and hardcover variances to build a new home on the property, as follows: • A hardcover variance to permit 32.5% (6,425 s.f.) hardcover where 32.5% (6,427 s.f.) exists and 25% is allowed.

Please review the Planning Report (attached as Exhibit C) for background and a complete variance analysis. The property owners provided an updated practical difficulty analysis/narrative, attached as Exhibit E. 4.

The hardcover associated with the boathouse, walls, and stairs will be reduced by 8 square feet from the existing condition. 4. Planning Commission Vote and Comment: On November 17, the Planning Commission held a public hearing and reviewed the request. Finding that the project meets the standards in the Code, the Commission voted 7 to 0 to recommend approval as applied.

LA25-000049 WHEREAS, on October 22, 2025, on behalf of the property owners Stephen P. Stenehjem and Stacey M. Stenehjem, a married couple, 02 Design (hereinafter the "Applicant"), applied for a conditional use permit ("CUP") pursuant to City Code for the property addressed 1450 Bracketts Point Road and legally described as: Lot 1, Block 1, Bracketts Point 2nd Addition; together with the adjoining vacated Bracketts Point Road as shown and dedicated in the plat of Bracketts Point 2nd Addition; and an Undivided 1/3 interest in Outlots A and B, Bracketts Point 2nd Addition, Hennepin County, Minnesota (hereinafter the "Property"); WHEREAS, the Applicant has made application to the City of Orono for a CUP pursuant to Orono Municipal Zoning Code Section 6.12.6240 to allow construction of a new retaining wall to support a new lake access stairway within the shore setback; and WHEREAS, on November 17, 2025, after published and mailed notice in accordance with Minnesota Statutes and the City Code, the Planning Commission held a public hearing, at which time all persons desiring to be heard concerning this application were allowed to speak thereon; and WHEREAS, on November 17, 2025, the Planning Commission recommended approval of the CUP; and WHEREAS, on November 24, 2025, the City Council reviewed the application and the recommendations of the Planning Commission and City staff; and NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of Orono, Minnesota hereby approves the requested CUP as described above based on one or more of the following findings of fact concerning the Property: 58 CITY OF ORONO RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL NO.7645 FINDINGS OF FACT: Al. The analysis contained within staff memos and the exhibits attached to the aforesaid memos, all minutes from the above -mentioned meetings, and all other materials distributed at these meetings are hereby incorporated by reference. A2. The Property is located in the LR-lA One -Family Lakeshore Residential Zoning District. A3. The Applicant has applied for a CUP to permit construction of a new retaining wall within the shore setback. A4. In considering this application for variance, the Council has considered the advice and recommendation of the Planning Commission and the effect of the proposed variance upon the health, safety and welfare of the community, existing and anticipated traffic conditions, light and air, danger of fire, risk to the public safety, and the effect on values of property in the surrounding area. CUP ANALYSIS: City Code Section 6.12.6240(5)(c) states that walls in the shore setback zone, new walls shall require a conditional use permit. New walls and changed or relocated replacement walls, greater than 4 feet in height, must meet the following conditions. The wall must be: B1. Designed to correct an established erosion problem; the project includes in -kind replacement of failing walls and installation of a new, reconfigured lake access stair, which is allowed. The one new wall, requiring CUP approval, is a supportive wall for the new stair. Although it is new, the wall is necessary to support the permitted stairs, given the topography. This criterion has been met, and B2. Suitable given the demonstrated need; the walls provide stability to the slope and help to reduce erosion. The construction of the wall is necessary to support the slope in conjunction with the new stairway. This criterion has been met, and B3. Designed by a registered engineer or landscape architect, depending on the project scope; the applicant has provided structural plans for the walls designed by a registered landscape architect and a structural engineer. This criterion has been met, and B4. Designed to be the minimum size necessary to control the erosion problem. The new wall is necessary to support the permitted lake access stair, considering the placement of the stair within the full project scope to reconstruct the boathouse and walls in -kind. This criterion has been met. 2 59 CITY OF ORONO RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL NO. 7645 Further, the Council may grant a CUP as the use permit was applied for or in modified form. Based on the application and the evidence submitted, the Council finds that the proposed use at the proposed location is, or will be: B5. Consistent with the community management plan; the protection and preservation of the natural lake shoreline is an identified priority of the Comprehensive Plan. The property owners have a right to reconstruct the existing legally nonconforming improvements in - kind. The new stair will comply with building code and, as a result, will be placed in a new location and configuration, requiring the new wall in a new location within the existing condition. The new wall will not be visible from the lake as it will be situated beneath the new stairway. This criterion is met. B6. Compliant with the zoning code, including any conditions imposed on specific uses as required by Article V, Division 3 of the City Code; retaining walls within the lakeyard are permitted where they are deemed necessary to protect the integrity of the slope. The applicant provided a design from a professional engineer for the walls, which provides slope stability and erosion control. The applicant has provided an extensive landscape plan for the Property, however, the new wall subject to the CUP will be completely screened by the stair improvement. This criterion is met. B7. Adequately served by police, fire, roads, and stormwater management; the Property meets this standard. B8. Provided with an adequate water supply and sewage disposal system; the Property meets this standard. B9. Not expected to generate excessive demand for public services at public cost; the Property meets this standard. B10. Compatible with the surrounding area, as the area is used both presently and as it is planned to be used in the future; the existing stone retaining walls, boathouse, and stairway are failing. The applicant is proposing to replace the improvements in kind except for the stairway change, which is permitted. The proposed new wall supporting the stairway will not change the existing character of the Property. This criterion is met. B11. Consistent with the character of the surrounding area, unless a change of character is called for in the community management plan, the proposed project is consistent with the character of the Property. This criterion is met. 60 CITY OF ORONO RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL NO.7645 B12. Compatible with the character of buildings and site improvements in the surrounding area, unless a change of character is called for in the community management plan; the new retaining wall will be screened from view from the lake by the stairway it is constructed to support. This criterion is met. B13. Not expected to substantially impair the use and enjoyment of the property in the area or have a materially adverse impact on the property values in the area when compared to the impairment or impact of generally permitted uses; the lakeshore wall improvements on the Property should not impact the neighboring property values or the enjoyment of the neighboring property owners. B14. Provided with screening and buffering adequate to mitigate undesirable views and activities likely to disturb surrounding uses; the applicant has provided a plan to provide screening of the retaining wall (by the stair) when viewed from the lake. This criterion is met. B15. Not create a nuisance which generates smoke, noise, glare, vibration, odors, fumes, dust, electrical interference, general unsightliness, or other means; the walls on the Property are not anticipated to create a nuisance situation. This criterion is met. B16. Not cause excessive non-residential traffic on residential streets, parking needs that cause a demonstrable inconvenience to adjoining properties, traffic congestion, or unsafe access; the retaining walls should not have any impact on residential streets or traffic. This criterion is met. B17. Designed to take into account the natural, scenic, and historic features of the area and to minimize environmental impact; the applicant has proposed adequate landscaping to screen the walls to be compatible with the character of the improvements within the surrounding area. This criterion is met. B18. All exterior lighting shall be so directed so as not to cast glare toward or onto the public right-of-way or neighboring residential uses or districts; the lake yard improvements should not result in any lighting or glare being cast off the Property toward the public street, the neighbors, or the lake; and B19. Not detrimental to the public health, public safety, or general welfare. This is true of the project. A CUP may be granted subject to such conditions as the Council may prescribe. Additionally, a CUP shall remain in effect as long as the conditions imposed by the City Council are observed, 4 61 CITY OF ORONO RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL NO.7645 but nothing in this section shall prevent the city from enacting or amending official controls to change the status of conditional uses. CONCLUSIONS, ORDER, AND CONDITIONS: Based upon one or more of the above findings, the Orono City Council hereby grants a CUP pursuant to Orono Municipal Zoning Code Section 6.12.6240 to allow construction of a new retaining wall within 75-feet of the OHWL, subject to the following conditions: C1. Council approval is based on the entire record, above Findings. C2.The approved project shall conform to the survey dated 10/20/2025 and building plans submitted by the Applicant and annotated by City staff, attached to this Resolution as Exhibits A & B. C3.Any amendments to the plans that do not conform to City codes may require additional review by the Planning Commission and City Council. C4.Authorities granted by this resolution run with the Property not with the Applicants, but are permissive only and must be exercised by obtaining a building permit for the new construction and commencing construction of said project. A building permit must be obtained within one year of the date of Council approval, or the variance will expire on that date (November 24, 2026). C5.Violation of or non-compliance with any of the terms and conditions of this resolution may result in the termination of any authority granted herein.

Staff Recommendation: Approval of a CUP for a new retaining wall within the 75-lake setback. Background The subject property was part of a larger estate (Lot 8 of the plat Rearrangement of Orono Point) prior to the plat of Bracketts Point in 1981. Refer to Exhibit I for a brief summary of the platting history. The 2007 plat of Bracketts Point 2ndAddition created the subject lot (Lot 1, Block 1, Bracketts Point 2"d). The boathouse, stairs, and associated walls were the only improvements on Lot 1, and the property has remained vacant since that time. The current owners purchased the property in June of 2023; a building permit has been issued for a new residence. They plan to rebuild the existing boathouse in -kind and, as part of the project, will reconstruct the walls surrounding the boathouse with different materials, resulting in a smaller footprint. The lake access stairs will also be reconstructed and reconfigured; as a result, one of the existing walls supporting the stairs will be constructed in a different location (under the new stairs), requiring a conditional use permit. The hardcover associated with the boathouse, walls, and stairs will be reduced by 8 square feet from the existing condition. - ------------------------------------ ----- 1� ----------------- - 114 ft ilk � �a ,.� N., aa.,—E 78 FILE # LA25-000049 17 November 2025 Page 2 of 4 Applicable Regulations: CUP for Walls within the 75-foot Lake setback (Chapter 6.12 Section 6240) The code provides for new walls within the lake yard via a CUP. According to Section 6.12.6240, new walls and altered/relocated replacement walls greater than four feet in height must be: 1. Designed to correct an established erosion problem; and 2. Suitable given the demonstrated need; and 3. Designed by a registered engineer or landscape architect, depending on project scope; and 4. Designed to be the minimum size necessary to control the erosion problem. GOVERNING REGULATIONS: Conditional Use Permit (Sections 6.12.4090 & 6.12.6240) Section 6.12.6240 (5)(c) states that walls in the shore setback zone, new walls shall require a conditional use permit. New walls and changed or relocated replacement walls, greater than 4 feet in height, must meet the following conditions. The wall must be: 1. Designed to correct an established erosion problem; the project includes in -kind replacement of failing walls and installation of a new, reconfigured lake access stair, which is allowed. The one new wall, requiring CUP approval, is a supportive wall for the new stair. Although it is new, the wall is necessary to support the permitted stairs, given the topography. This criterion has been met, and 2. Suitable given the demonstrated need; the walls provide stability to the slope and help to reduce erosion. The construction of the wall is necessary to support the slope in conjunction with the new stairway. This criterion has been met, and 3. Designed by a registered engineer or landscape architect, depending on the project scope; the applicant has provided structural plans for the walls designed by a registered landscape architect and a structural engineer. This criterion has been met, and 4. Designed to be the minimum size necessary to control the erosion problem. The new wall is necessary to support the permitted lake access stair, considering the placement of the stair within the full project scope to reconstruct the boathouse and walls in -kind. This criterion has been met. The Planning Commission may recommend, and the Council may grant a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) as the use permit was applied for or in modified form. Based on the application and the evidence submitted, the city must find that the proposed use at the proposed location is, or will be: 1) Consistent with the community management plan; the protection and preservation of the natural lake shoreline is an identified priority of the Comprehensive Plan. The property owners have a right to reconstruct the existing legally nonconforming improvements in -kind. The new stair will comply with building code and, as a result, will be placed in a new location and configuration, requiring the new wall in a new location within the existing condition. The new wall will not be visible from the lake as it will be situated beneath the new stairway. This criterion is met. 2) Compliant with the zoning code, including any conditions imposed on specific uses as required by Article V, Division 3 of the City Code; retaining walls within the lakeyard are permitted where they are deemed necessary to protect the integrity of the slope. The applicant provided a design from a professional engineer for the walls, which provides slope stability and erosion control. The applicant has provided an extensive landscape plan for the property; however, the new wall subject to the CUP will be completely screened by the stair improvement. This criterion is met. 3) Adequately served by police, fire, roads, and stormwater management; the property meets this standard. 79 FILE # LA25-000049 17 November 2025 Page 3 of 4 4) Provided with an adequate water supply and sewage disposal system; the property meets this standard. 5) Not expected to generate excessive demand for public services at public cost; the property meets this standard. 6) Compatible with the surrounding area, as the area is used both presently and as it is planned to be used in the future; the existing stone retaining walls, boathouse, and stairway are failing. The applicant is proposing to replace the improvements in kind except for the stairway change, which is permitted. The proposed new wall supporting the stairway will not change the existing character of the property. This criterion is met. 7) Consistent with the character of the surrounding area, unless a change of character is called for in the community management plan, the proposed project is consistent with the character of the property. This criterion is met. 8) Compatible with the character of buildings and site improvements in the surrounding area, unless a change of character is called for in the community management plan; the new retaining wall will be screened from view from the lake by the stairway it is constructed to support. This criterion is met. 9) Not expected to substantially impair the use and enjoyment of the property in the area or have a materially adverse impact on the property values in the area when compared to the impairment or impact of generally permitted uses; the lakeshore wall improvements on the subject property should not impact the neighboring property values or the enjoyment of the neighboring property owners. 10) Provided with screening and buffering adequate to mitigate undesirable views and activities likely to disturb surrounding uses; the applicant has provided a plan to provide screening of the retaining wall (by the stair) when viewed from the lake. This criterion is met. 11) Not create a nuisance which generates smoke, noise, glare, vibration, odors, fumes, dust, electrical interference, general unsightliness, or other means; the walls on the subject property are not anticipated to create a nuisance situation. This criterion is met. 12) Not cause excessive non-residential traffic on residential streets, parking needs that cause a demonstrable inconvenience to adjoining properties, traffic congestion, or unsafe access; the retaining walls should not have any impact on residential streets or traffic. This criterion is met. 13) Designed to take into account the natural, scenic, and historic features of the area and to minimize environmental impact; the applicant has proposed adequate landscaping to screen the walls to be compatible with the character of the improvements within the surrounding area. This criterion is met. 14) All exterior lighting shall be so directed so as not to cast glare toward or onto the public right-of-way or neighboring residential uses or districts; the lake yard improvements should not result in any lighting or glare being cast off the property toward the public street, the neighbors, or the lake, and 15) Not detrimental to the public health, public safety, or general welfare. This is true of the project. A CUP may be granted subject to such conditions as the Council may prescribe. Additionally, a CUP shall remain in effect as long as the conditions imposed by the City Council are observed, but nothing in this section shall prevent the city from enacting or amending official controls to change the status of conditional uses. 80 FILE # LA25-000049 17 November 2025 Page 4 of 4 Analysis The new retaining wall is proposed to support a new lake access stair. As designed, the new wall will run perpendicular to the lake, and will be completely screened from the lake by the stairs it is supporting. Plans designed by a registered landscape architect and a structural engineer have been provided. Refer to Exhibit E, the construction plans, to review the in -kind and new improvements. The boathouse and walls will be replaced in -kind; the new wall will be situated under the new stairs as support of the slope and will anchor the stairway. The plans also reflect the replacement of the existing railing at the top of the 6 % foot retaining wall behind the boathouse. The guard rail on the wall is not required by the Building Code, as there is no improved walking surface abutting the wall. Only the portion of the guard rail on top of the wall that exists today can be replaced. The stairway guard rail proposed is required by the Building Code and permitted. Public Comments Supportive comments from one neighbor have been received, Exhibit J. Issues for Consideration 1. Does the Planning Commission find that the property owner proposes to use the property in a reasonable manner that is not permitted by an official control? 2. Does the Commission find it necessary to impose conditions to mitigate the impacts created by the new wall, subject to the CUP? 3. Are there any other issues or concerns with this application? Planning Staff Recommendation Planning Staff recommends approval of the CUP for the new retaining wall as proposed. 81 AGENDA ITEM Date: November 24, 2025 Title: Item: 12 LA25-000047, Brian Peters, 1978 Shadywood Road, Variances - Resolution 7644 Presenter: Melanie Curtis, Planner Section: Consent Agenda Purpose: This application includes variances to construct a covered porch and a privacy screen over an existing deck within the 75-foot lake setback and partially within the average lakeshore setback. 2. MN§15.99 Application Deadline: The application was submitted and considered complete on October 21, 2025. The 60-day review period will expire on December 20, 2025. 3. Background: The applicant proposes to construct a 202-square-foot roofed porch over the existing deck on the property, 48 feet from the OHWL, where a 75-foot setback is required. Additionally, the applicant would like to install a 5-foot-tall privacy screen on the north side of the deck, and remove/relocate the existing 18" stair tread to the center of the deck; the stair will be reduced in depth by half, reducing the hardcover by 6 square feet. The proposed privacy screen encroaches approximately 2 feet into the average lakeshore setback. The attached Planning Report (Exhibit D) contains a comprehensive description and analysis of the project. 4. Planning Commission Vote and Comment: At their meeting on November 17, the Planning Commission held a public hearing and discussed the requested variances. Following the discussion, the Commission voted 7 to 0 to recommend approval of the variances as applied. Public Comment: Supportive comments were submitted by the neighbors on both sides of the subject property. In addition, a third neighbor expressed support in person and served as the applicant's representative for the project while the applicant was out of state. The submitted comments are attached as Exhibit C. 6. Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends approval as applied. COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED Council should consider adopting Resolution 7644. Exhibits A.

LA25-000047 WHEREAS, on October 21, 2025, Brian Peters (hereinafter the "Applicant"), applied for variances from the City Code for the property addressed 1978 Shadywood Road and legally described as: Lots 38 and 39, Shady -Wood, Hennepin County, Minnesota (hereinafter the "Property"); WHEREAS, the Applicant has made an application to the City of Orono for variances from Orono Municipal Zoning Code Section 6.12.6240 to allow construction of a 5-foot-tall privacy screen and a 10.2' x 20' open porch over a portion of the existing deck within the 75-foot lake setback; and WHEREAS, the Applicant has made an application to the City of Orono for a variance from Orono Municipal Zoning Code Section 6.12.6240 to allow a 5-foot-tall privacy screen to encroach approximately 2 feet lakeward of the average Lakeshore setback; and WHEREAS, on November 17, 2025, after published and mailed notice in accordance with Minnesota Statutes and the City Code, the Planning Commission held a public hearing, at which time all persons desiring to be heard concerning this application were allowed to speak thereon; and WHEREAS, on November 17, 2025, the Planning Commission recommended approval of the variances; and WHEREAS, on November 24, 2025, the City Council reviewed the application and the recommendations of the Planning Commission and City staff; and NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of Orono, Minnesota, hereby approves the requested variances as described above based on one or more of the following findings of fact concerning the Property: 84 CITY OF ORONO RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL NO. 7644 FINDINGS OF FACT: Al. The analysis contained within staff memos and the exhibits attached to the aforesaid memos, all minutes from the above -mentioned meetings, and all other materials distributed at these meetings are hereby incorporated by reference. A2. The Property is located in the LR-1 C One Family Lakeshore Residential Zoning District. A3. The Property contains 0.32 acres in area and has a defined lot width of 101 feet at the OHWL and 108 feet at the 75-foot setback. A4. The Property is within Tier 1, and hardcover is limited to 25% according to the Stormwater Quality Overlay District. A5. The Property currently contains 31.9% hardcover; the project will result in 31.8% hardcover, a reduction of 6 square feet. A6. Applicant has applied for the following variances: a. 75-Foot Lake Setback Variance b. Average Lakeshore Setback Variance A7. In considering this application for variances, the Council has considered the advice and recommendation of the Planning Commission and the effect of the proposed variances upon the health, safety, and welfare of the community, existing and anticipated traffic conditions, light and air, danger of fire, risk to the public safety, and the effect on values of property in the surrounding area. ANALYSIS: B1. "Variances shall only be permitted when they are in harmony with the general purposes and intent of the ordinance ...." The proposed variance is in harmony with the purpose of the Ordinance. The Property includes difficulties in its size and proximity to the lake. The proposed porch addition will not encroach closer to the lake than the existing deck and does not encroach into the average lakeshore setback. The average lakeshore setback variance requested for the privacy screen is minimal and will not further impact views of the lake for adjacent properties. B2. "Variances shall only be permitted ... when the variances are consistent with the comprehensive plan." The proposed variances to construct a small open porch addition 85 CITY OF ORONO RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL NO. 7644 and privacy screen, resulting in a 6 square foot reduction in hardcover on the Property, are consistent with the comprehensive plan. B3. "Variances may be granted when the applicant for the variance establishes that there are practical difficulties in complying with the zoning ordinance. `Practical difficulties,' as used in connection with the granting of a variance, means that: a. The property owner in question proposes to use the property in a reasonable manner, however, the proposed use is not permitted by the official controls. The request to allow the privacy screen and open porch addition entirely within the 75-foot setback and (a portion of the privacy screen within the) average lakeshore setback appears to be reasonable, considering the location of the existing home and its proximity to the lake, and the orientation of the neighboring homes is reasonable. b. The plight of the landowner is due to circumstances unique to his property not created by the landowner. The location of the existing home prevents changes or expansions, particularly on the lake side. The proposed overall hardcover level is being reduced, and the privacy screen and porch addition will not impact the views of the lake from the neighboring homes. The circumstances are unique to the Property; c. The variance, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the locality." The variances requested to permit the construction of a privacy screen and a small, open porch addition to the home, designed over an existing deck to minimize impacts on the lake. The location will not impact the neighbors' views of the lake and will fit the character of the neighborhood according to the submitted information. B4. "Economic considerations alone do not constitute practical difficulties." Economic considerations have not been a factor in the variance approval determination. B5. "Practical difficulties also include but are not limited to inadequate access to direct sunlight for solar energy systems. Variances shall be granted for earth -sheltered construction as defined in Minn. Stat. § 216C.06, subd. 2, when in harmony with Orono City Code Chapter 78." This condition is not applicable. B6. "The board or the council may not permit as a variance any use that is not permitted under Orono City Code Chapter 78 for property in the zone where the affected person's land is located." This condition is not applicable, as improvements to the principal building are allowed in the LR-1 C District. 86 CITY OF ORONO RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL NO. 7644 B7. "The board or council may permit as a variance the temporary use of a one -family dwelling as a two-family dwelling." This condition is not applicable. B8. "The special conditions applying to the structure or land in question are peculiar to such property or immediately adjoining property." The existing home's proximity and orientation to the lakeshore and the location of the adjacent homes create difficulties for the Owners in improving the Property consistent with the homes in their neighborhood. B9. "The conditions do not apply generally to other land or structures in the district in which the land is located." The unique condition of the extreme proximity of the home to the lake creates difficulties for the owners. B10."The granting of the application is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a substantial property right of the applicant." Granting the variances is necessary for the preservation of the property rights of the owners. B11."The granting of the proposed variance will not in any way impair health, safety, comfort, or morals, or in any other respect be contrary to the intent of this chapter." Granting the requested variances in this unique situation is not contrary to the intent of the zoning chapter. B12."The granting of such variance will not merely serve as a convenience to the applicant, but is necessary to alleviate demonstrable difficulty." The requested variances are necessary to address the limited building area of the Property and do not merely serve as a convenience to the Applicant. CONCLUSIONS, ORDER, AND CONDITIONS: Based upon one or more of the above findings, the Orono City Council hereby grants variances from Orono Municipal Zoning Code Section 6.12.6240 to allow construction of a 10.2' x 29' open porch 48 feet from the OHWL, a 5-foot-tall privacy screen (on top of the deck) 41 feet from the OHWL and 2 feet lakeward of the average lakeshore setback, subject to the following conditions: C1.Council approval is based on the entire record, above Findings. C2.The approved project shall conform to the building plans submitted by the Applicant and annotated by City staff, attached to this Resolution as Exhibit A. 87 CITY OF ORONO RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL NO. 7644 C3.Any amendments to the plans that do not conform to City codes may require additional review by the Planning Commission and City Council. C4.Authorities granted by this resolution run with the Property, not with the Applicant, but are permissive only and must be exercised by obtaining a building permit for the new construction and commencing construction of said project. A building permit must be obtained within one year of the date of Council approval, or the variance will expire on that date (November 24, 2026).

Mischke 102 Date Application Received: 10/21/2025 Date Application Considered as Complete: 10/21/2025 ���� 60-Day Review Period Expires: 12/20/2025 To: Chair Bollis and Planning Commission Members Adam Edwards, City Administrator k���1 From: Melanie Curtis, Planner MCC �SHo Date: 17 November 2025 Subject: #LA25-000047, Brian Peters, 1978 Shadywood Road Variance Public Hearing Application Summary: The applicant is requesting a 75-foot lake setback variance to construct a covered porch over an existing lakeside deck, install a privacy screen, and relocate a deck stair tread. An average lakeshore setback variance is also required for a portion of the privacy screen. Staff Recommendation: Planning Department Staff recommends approval. Background The applicant proposes to construct a 202 square foot roofed porch over the existing deck on the property, 48 feet from the OHWL where a 75-foot setback is required. Additionally, the applicant would like to install a 5-foot-tall privacy screen on the north side of the deck (10.1 feet wide), and remove/relocate the existing 18" stair tread to the center of the deck; the stair will be reduced in depth by half, reducing the hardcover by 6 square feet. The proposed privacy screen encroaches approximately 2 feet into the average lakeshore setback. Practical Difficulties Analysis Applicant Submittal Information: The applicant has identified a number of factors, including lot size, the proximity of the home to the lake, as practical difficulties supporting the requested variances. Additionally, they have provided supporting documentation regarding Practical Difficulties attached as Exhibit C, and should be asked for additional testimony regarding the application. Planning Staff Practical Difficulty Analysis: Staff concurs with the applicant's assessment of the practical difficulties and finds that although the project will result in additional building footprint within the lake 103 FILE LA25-000047 17 November 2025 Page 2 of 5 setback, it will not result in new encroachments within the lake setback, as the porch and privacy screen will be constructed over an existing improvement (deck). The average lakeshore setback encroachment by the privacy screen is minimal, and the affected neighbor had indicated that their view will not be adversely impacted. LOT ANALYSIS WORKSHEET Section 6.12.1550 and 6.12.6240 — Setbacks: The house and deck are set at an angle to the shoreline, resulting in the measurement range (noted below) in the setback measurements. The proposed setback listed is the closest point of the improvement to the OHWL.

(18.7%) Section 6.12.9110 and 6.12.9210 — Hardcover Calculations: The existing and proposed hardcover calculations below have been adjusted by staff to address some inaccuracies — lot area, building coverage, and the change to the deck stair tread, which is not reflected in the submitted hardcover calculation worksheets. The existing tread is 12.5 square feet, and the proposed stair tread is 6.5 square feet. Refer to the staff -adjusted hardcover calculation worksheets attached as Exhibit F.

The 75-foot setback significantly encumbers the property and cuts the house in half. The proposed porch is considered to be an expansion of the building footprint and will be situated 48 feet from the OHWL, constructed over the existing deck, entirely within the 75-foot setback requiring a variance. A 5-foot-tall privacy screening fence is proposed to be placed on top of the deck on the north side, where the applicant plans to place their outdoor cooking area. The deck is 18 inches from grade, so the total height of the privacy screen will be 6.5 feet. This side of the deck is 41 feet from the lake; therefore, a lake setback variance is required for the screening fence. A portion of the privacy screen is also within the average lakeshore setback. Governing Regulation: Variance (Section 6.12.530) In reviewing applications for variance, the Planning Commission shall consider the effect of the proposed variance upon the health, safety, and welfare of the community, existing and anticipated traffic conditions, light and air, danger of fire, risk to the public safety, and the effect on values of property in the surrounding area. The Planning Commission shall consider recommending approval for variances from the literal provisions of the Zoning Code in instances where their strict enforcement would cause practical difficulties because of circumstances unique to the individual property under consideration, and shall recommend approval only when it is demonstrated that such actions will be in keeping with the spirit and intent of the Orono Zoning Code. Economic considerations alone do not constitute practical difficulties. Practical difficulties also include, but are not limited to, inadequate access to direct sunlight for solar energy systems. Variances shall be granted for earth -sheltered construction as defined in Minn. Stat. §216C.06, subd. 14, when in harmony with this chapter. The board or the council may not permit, as a variance, any use that is not permitted under this chapter for property in the zone where the affected person's land is located. The board or council may permit, as a variance, the temporary use of a one -family dwelling as a two-family dwelling. According to MN §462.357 Subd. 6(2) variances shall only be permitted when: 1. The variance is in harmony with the general intent and purpose of the Ordinance. The proposed variance is in harmony with the purpose of the Ordinance. The property includes difficulties in its size and proximity to the lake. The proposed porch addition will not encroach closer to the lake than the existing deck and does not encroach into the average lakeshore setback. The average lakeshore setback variance requested for the privacy screen is minimal and will not further impact views of the lake for adjacent properties. 2. The variance is consistent with the comprehensive plan. The proposed variances to construct a small open porch addition and privacy screen, resulting in a 6 square foot reduction in hardcover on this property, are consistent with the comprehensive plan. The applicant establishes that there are practical difficulties. a. The property owner proposes to use the property in a reasonable manner not permitted by the official controls; The request to allow the privacy screen and open porch addition entirely within the 75-foot setback and (a portion of the privacy screen within the) average lakeshore setback appears to be reasonable considering the location of the existing home and its proximity to the lake, the orientation of the neighboring homes is reasonable. b. There are circumstances unique to the property not created by the landowner; The location of the existing home prevents changes or expansions, particularly on the lake side. The proposed overall hardcover level is being reduced, and the privacy screen and porch 105 FILE LA25-000047 17 November 2025 Page 4 of 5 addition will not impact the views of the lake from the neighboring homes. The circumstances are unique to the property; and c. The variance will not alter the essential character of the locality. The variances requested to permit the construction of a privacy screen and a small, open porch addition to the home, designed over an existing deck to minimize impacts on the lake. The location will not impact the neighbors' views of the lake and will fit the character of the neighborhood according to the submitted information. Additionally, City Code Section 6.12.530 provides additional parameters within which a variance may be granted as follows: 4. Economic considerations alone do not constitute practical difficulties. Economic considerations have not been a factor in the variance approval determination. 5. Practical difficulties also include, but are not limited to, inadequate access to direct sunlight for solar energy systems. Variances shall be granted for earth -sheltered construction as defined in Minn. Stat. § 216C.06, subd. 17, when in harmony with Orono City Code Chapter 6.12. This condition is not applicable. 6. The board or the council may not permit as a variance any use that is not permitted under Orono City Code Chapter 6.12 for property in the zone where the affected person's land is located. This condition is not applicable, as improvements to the principal building are allowed in the LR-1C District. 7. The board or council may permit, as a variance, the temporary use of a one -family dwelling as a two- family dwelling. This condition is not applicable. 8. The special conditions applying to the structure or land in question are peculiar to such property or immediately adjoining property. The existing home's proximity and orientation to the lakeshore and the location of the adjacent homes create difficulties for the Owners in improving the property consistent with the homes in their neighborhood. 9. The conditions do not apply generally to other land or structures in the district in which the land is located. The unique condition of the extreme proximity of the home to the lake creates difficulties for the owners. 10. The granting of the application is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a substantial property right of the applicant. Granting the variances is necessary for the preservation of the property rights of the owners. 11. The granting of the proposed variance will not in any way impair health, safety, comfort, or morals, or in any other respect be contrary to the intent of this chapter. Granting the requested variances in this unique situation is not contrary to the intent of the zoning chapter. 12. The granting of such variance will not merely serve as a convenience to the applicant, but is necessary to alleviate demonstrable difficulty. The requested variances are necessary to address the limited building area of the property and do not merely serve as a convenience to the applicant. The Commission may recommend, or the Council may impose conditions in granting variances. Any conditions imposed must be directly related to and must bear a rough proportionality to the impact created by the variance. No variance shall be granted or changed beyond the use permitted in this chapter in the district where such land is located. Public Comments Supportive comments have been received from the neighbors on either side of the applicant's home, attached as Exhibit H. 106 FILE LA25-000047 17 November 2025 Page 5 of 5 Issues for Consideration 1. Does the Planning Commission find that the property owner proposes to use the property in a reasonable manner that is not permitted by an official control? 2. Does the Planning Commission find that the variances, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the neighborhood? 3. Does the Commission find it necessary to impose conditions to mitigate the impacts created by the granting of the requested variances? 4. Are there any other issues or concerns with this application? Planning Staff Recommendation Planning Staff recommends approval of the application as applied. 107 AGENDA ITEM Date: November 24, 2025 Title: Met Council and Comp Planning 101 Presenter: Christine Lusian, City Clerk Section: Presentations Purpose: Receive a presentation from Metropolitan Council Item: 13 2.

Background: City Council previously approved Bolton and Menk to design and bid the project. Bids were received for the above referenced project on November 4, 2025. Four bids were received and the break out is listed below. 3. Scope: The proposed work includes replacement of the electrical motor control system, replacement of chemical feed systems, replacement of valves and actuators and other miscellaneous improvements. Alternate 1. Consists of removing existing wires for High Service Pumps and Well 1 and installation of new wires and conduits. Alternate 3. Consists of the removal of the existing filter window and replacing it with a new welded steel plate and associated painting 4. Cost: Four bids were received. The bids appear to be responsive and not materially unbalanced. The bid pricing is higher than our estimate from Spring 2025, and this is due to adding some additional scope of work, not included in the original estimate and an increase in construction costs. The majority of work for this project is the replacement of the electrical motor control centers and electrical equipment. Long lead times has made the pricing fluctuate significantly.

AGENDA ITEM Date: November 24, 2025 Item: 15 Title: LA25-000044, Scott England o/b/o Barbara Lupient, 3220 Wayzata Blvd W, Sketch Plan Presenter: Laura Oakden, Community Development Director Section: Community Development Report Purpose: The applicant is requesting comments on a proposed 26-unit detached townhome development located on the south side of Lake Classen on the north side of Wayzata Boulevard. 2. Background: The plans provided by the developer show 26 detached townhome villas. The project includes a viewing platform at the lakeshore for residents to enjoy and access Lake Classen. The applicant is proposing a large conservation easement area surrounding the lake to implement protection for the sensitive natural environment. The proposal involves two contiguous parcels zoned RR- 1B, One Family Rural Residential, and are guided for rural residential use in the 2040 Comprehensive Plan. The parcels are not located within the MUSA and, therefore, are not eligible for sanitary sewer services without an amendment to the Comprehensive Plan. The parcels are located on Lake Classen, which is a Natural Environment Lake with a 150-foot lakeshore setback for all structures 3. Planning Commission Vote and Comment: The Planning Commission reviewed the application (Packet, Video) and posed questions about the proposed design, density, traffic impacts, marketing/target buyers for the homes, and HOA management of the property and conservation area. The Commission reviewed the current guiding documents and noted that there is no current guidance or policy in place that requires the expansion of the MUSA boundary. The request is being driven by the developer. The Commission also discussed the current land use guidance of the property as rural residential and the implications the proposed changes would have impacts on the immediate area and the city as a whole. Additionally, the Commission discussed the future demand for additional housing in Orono and talked through the potential benefits of allowing a townhome development at this site. One key element of the site plan is the requirement for a governing agency to own/manage the land within the proposed conservation easement. The Commission raised concerns about the city taking over the management of the conservation area and encouraged the developer to seek other government partners. Overall, the Commission's feedback was split. Some Commissioners were supportive of the project, noting that the design and conservation easement would benefit the lake and provide a housing style that is in demand for the community. Other Commissioners remarked that the location may not be appropriate for urban density and supported maintaining the existing rural classification of the land. 141 4. Public Comment: A sketch plan is not a public hearing, but the Council may receive and consider public comments during the public meeting. The applicant held a neighborhood meeting on November 5, 2025. The applicant submitted documentation from this meeting. 6 letters from residents were submitted in opposition of the proposed development after the Planning Commission Meeting, Exhibits J.

Background The proposal is for two contiguous parcels: 3211823110001 3220 Wayzata Blvd W 9.94 acres 33118232200001 3200 Wayzata Blvd W 3.27 acres Both parcels are zoned RR-1B and guided for rural residential use in the 2040 Comprehensive Plan. The parcels are not located within the MUSA, and therefore are not eligible for sanitary sewer services, without an amendment to the Comprehensive Plan. The parcels are located on Lake Classen, which is a Natural Environment Lake requiring a 150-foot lakeshore setback for all structures. Based on the existing zoning, the minimum lot size is 2 acres, with 200 feet of width, measured at the lake shore and 150 feet. Proposal The plans provided by the developer show 26 detached townhome villas. The proposed homes will be single -story with combination of 2-3 car garages, with additional off-street parking in the driveway. The applicant hopes to achieve a small neighborhood feel that provides a housing type that is in high demand. The project includes a viewing platform area at the lake for the residents to enjoy and access Lake Classen. The applicant is proposing a large conservation easement area surrounding the lake shore to implement protection for the sensitive natural environment. Access to the site is provided via two new entrances off of Wayzata Blvd West, subject to the approval of Hennepin County. Analysis Comprehensive Plan, MUSA expansion: The project as proposed, will require an amendment to the Comprehensive Plan for both land use and an expansion of the MUSA boundary. For expansions of the MUSA boundary, the Metropolitan Council requires a minimum density of 3 dwelling units per acre. The upcoming Comprehensive Plan Amendment (2050) will require the city to meet a 3.5 units per acre density. Net Density: The property is roughly 14 gross acres in size. The developer is proposing a large conservation area of roughly 4.5 acres. The conservation area can be subtracted from the developable land area for densitv calculation purposes if the area is owned and maintained b 143 FILE # LA25-000044 November 17, 2025 Page 2 of 3 governing agency. If the conservation area is removed, the adjusted land area would be approximately 8.5 acres. The 26-unit project, at 8.5 acres, would result in an estimated density of 3.1 units/acre. Overall, the City's density is currently 3 units per acre. Should the acreage of this proposed development be included in the MUSA area, the development would allow the City to maintain a density of 3 units per acre for all MUSA areas. As proposed, this development would meet the city's current 2040 Comprehensive Plan density guidelines. It would not meet the 2050 Comprehensive Plan Guidelines, which are required to be adopted by the end of 2028. The following summarizes the 2040 Comprehensive Plan's prioritization of projects when considering a MUSA expansion: Priority 1 Properties that abut the shoreline of Lake Minnetonka and all other Orono lakes. Priority 2 Properties that abut City -protected tributaries, and all other properties within the Shoreland Overlay District. Priority 3 Existing substandard developed lots not covered by Priorities 1 and 2 and developed prior to 1985 that have failing septic systems and do not have an alternative site available to replace said system. Priority 4 New development using clustering that permanently preserves blocks of open space. Priority 5 Conforming developed lots not covered by Priorities 1 and 2 and developed prior to 1985 that have failing septic systems and do not have an alternative site available to replace said system. Priority 6 New or existing development not covered by Priorities 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5. The Comprehensive Plan notes that "When a new or existing residential development meeting all required development standards is adjacent to existing sewer lines and the developer or homeowners agree to bear all costs of extending municipal sewer to the development, but only when inclusion of such development in the MUSA will not result in a decrease in the City's sewered density since 2000 as calculated by the Metropolitan Council." The property owner is advised that all costs to extend services are their responsibility. Sanitary sewer will be "available" to serve the property, although the feasibility study to determine pipe and lift station sizing for the three parcels on the south side of Wayzata Boulevard did not factor in the subject property. Comprehensive Plan, Land Use: The Plan talks at length about the rural character of Orono, and the protection of natural resources, noting that the delineation of the urban and rural areas is fixed (see Page 313-15). This project would be the first expansion of the Defined Urban Area since at least 2021. Part of the City's solution to retain its rural character is to place higher densities at appropriate locations in the city, such as Navarre. Ordinances are in place for the protection of lakes and streams (storm water management, setbacks from lakes, etc.). The Planning Commission and Council should determine if the site is appropriate for an urban density (greater than 1 unit per two acres). If so, they should determine if the proposed development provides an appropriate level of density. Land Uses surrounding Lake Classen include a city park, Susan Lurton Dog Park, the Orono 144 FILE # LA25-000044 November 17, 2025 Page 3 of 3 School District's athletic and school facilities, and single-family residential uses, with most properties exceeding 2 acres in size. Zoning: Orono does not have a high -density residential zoning district; existing high -density projects such as Stonebay, Orono Senior Housing, Orono Woods, and Orono Trails are zoned Residential Planned Unit Development or RPUD. The zoning ordinance states that no property within 250 feet of the OHWL of a protected water is to be rezoned to RPUD (see zoning code section 6.12.3160(1)); Lake Classen is classified as a Protected Water. If the Planning Commission and Council support the project, some modifications to the zoning ordinance will be necessary, through either the creation of a new zoning district or the modification of an existing district. The Planning Commission should provide guidance as to its appetite for necessary modifications. The City Zoning has a Planned Unit Development or PUD zoning district, which is applicable for this development based on its location. The site is located on Wayzata Boulevard ("Old Highway 12"), which is one of the only areas where PUD developments are permitted. The City Code stipulates that the proposed PUD development should coordinate the needs of the proposed development and the surrounding uses with the conservation of woodlands and wetlands, the protection of health, safety, and welfare of the community, and the residents of the PUD There are zoning options for the proposed developer to explore for zoning districts, whether an RPUD or PUD district. Leniency may be requested depending on the scale and location of the improvements. Public Comments To date, no public comments have been received. The applicant held a neighborhood meeting on November 5, 2025. The applicant has submitted supporting documentation from this meeting. A sketch plan is not a public hearing, but the Commission may receive and consider public comments during the public meeting. Issues for Consideration 1. Does the Planning Commission support expansion of the MUSA boundary to include the subject properties? 2. Does the Planning Commission support the expansion of urban densities into the subject property, and if so, is the proposed Urban Low density of 3.1 units/acre acceptable given the transition to 3.5 units/acre by 2028? 3. The proposed conservation easement must be owned and maintained by a governing agency. This is critical for the site to provide an estimated density of 3.1 units per acre (26 units/ 8.5 acres), meeting the required density of 3 units per acre. The Planning Commission should ask the applicant for additional testimony regarding this requirement and provide feedback on city ownership and maintenance of the development's conservation area. 4. Does the Planning Commission support the modification of the zoning ordinance to facilitate the proposed development? 5. Are there any other issues or concerns with this application? Staff Recommendation The Planning Commission should review the Issues for Consideration and provide non -binding feedback to the applicant. 145 Land Use Application Summary Application Date: 09/17/2025 Address: 3220 Wayzata Boulevard West Orono, MN 55356 Parcel Number: 3211823110001 Land Use Number: LA25-000044 Application Submitted By: Agent on behalf of property owner Owner: Name: BARBARA LUPIENT Address: C/O LUPIENT AUTOMOTIVE GRP 7100 WAYZATA BLVD #200 Applicant: Name: Mike Waldo Company: Ron Clark Construction Address: 7500 W 78th Str Edina, MN 55439 Associated Contact: Contact Information: Associated Contact: Associated Contact: Associated Contact: Project Description: 26 Lot Detached Villa Single Family neigborhood Land Use Application Type: Amendmend Application Appeal of Admin Decision Concept Application Conditional Use Permit Site Plan Application Subdivision Application Subdivision Exception Vacation Application Variance Application Applicant Signature: 146 7500 West 78111 Street Edina, MN 55439 www.ronclark.com Friday, September 19, 2025 Laura Oakden Community Development Director City of Orono 2750 Kelley Parkway, Orono, MN 55356 RE: 3200 & 3220 Wayzata Boulevard Site Ron Clark Construction is proposing a 26-unit Detached Villa home neighborhood on the existing property located at 3200 & 3220 Wayzata Boulevard. This property has been owned by one family for over 40 years. They have been excellent stewards of the property during that time and would now like to see it take its next step by providing a benefit to the city through the addition of high -quality new housing stock that will allow new generations to enjoy the land. The proposed single-family detached villa neighborhood will feature twenty-six (26) one-story villa homes. Each home will have a combination of 2 and 3 car garages and have additional parking for two guest cars in each driveway. Additional guest parking will be available along the street. The overall goal is to work in balance with the existing natural elements of the site, while maintaining compliance with Met Council density requirements, adding a new housing style, and creating a small neighborhood that enhances the city. The one -level design is in high demand among existing Orono residents seeking a "lifestyle" option while remaining in Orono. This also makes their existing homes available to families looking to raise their children while attending Orono schools. We believe this represents the best use for the site by creating new high -quality empty -nester housing, improving water quality flowing into adjacent Lake Clauson and the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District, ensuring single -story homes minimize impact to existing views for neighbors across the lake, creating value for the existing area, helping bring city utilities to the area to assist other properties along Wayzata Boulevard, and delivering a substantial increase to the city's tax base. While other potential uses exist for this site either now or in the future, we believe this villa home proposal is most consistent with city goals relating to housing quality, quality of life, and maintaining a lower -density feel as a buffer between the higher density to the south and to Classen Lake and the larger lots to the north —all while providing residents with a highly desired housing option that allows them to remain in Orono. Planning The proposed development plan features twenty-six (26) single-family villa homes located on a new private road with two access points onto Wayzata Boulevard. The goal with any site plan is 147 7500 West 78111 Street Edina, MN 55439 www.ronclark.com to integrate the homes with the surrounding area. The topographical survey shows the land is high in the center where it meets Wayzata Boulevard and gently slopes toward the lake in each direction. Our design allows the road to flow along the middle elevation of the site and naturally creates walkout single -story homes on the lake side. These homes will be a minimum of 150 feet back from the OHWL (ordinary high water level) of the lake, and we are proposing a 100-foot conservation easement to preserve the healthy trees in the first 100 feet from the lake edge. As shown in the 3D renderings created from our tree and topo survey, the scale of our single - level ranch -style homes places the structure and roofline at or below the existing tree canopy. The 3D perspective view from the lake side demonstrates minimal change in neighbors' views across the lake when compared to other development options for this site. We have discussed with staff the creation of a conservation area along most of the 100-foot buffer area along the lake that will be managed by the Homeowners Association with city oversight. This provides long-term preservation and maintenance of the natural area and healthy trees along the lake edge. City Process and Steps Involved City review and approval steps needed to develop this new neighborhood: 1. Sketch Plat Review with comments from Staff, Neighbors, Planning Commission, and City Council 2. Expansion of the Municipal Services area 3. Amend the Comprehensive Plan for the site to Urban Low Density Residential (3-8 units/acre) 4. Rezone property to PRD (Planned Residential District) to facilitate the detached villa - style neighborhood along with preservation of natural open spaces 5. Preliminary Plat and creation of conservation area along lake The first step involves applying for a Sketch Plat Review, allowing us to receive comments from Staff, Neighbors, Planning Commission, and City Council. Based on this feedback, we will update our design and prepare a formal land use submittal. The second step involves bringing this site into the municipal services area. This change makes sense from an environmental perspective by avoiding additional private well and septic systems on the site. From the city's perspective, it adds a home style the city needs and utilizes public infrastructure that will be built or already exists along Wayzata Boulevard. The site to the south has been planned for higher -density residential development and will have city sewer and water extended to it, with those pipes directly adjacent to our site. We will work with the city and neighboring property owners to coordinate extending city water and sewer to both sites. The next step, once the city supports extending urban services to the site, involves amending the Comprehensive Plan to change the Land Use Designation to Urban Low Density Residential (3-8 units/acre). The purpose of this designation is to enhance neighborhood appearance through preservation of natural open spaces, counteract the effects of urban congestion and monotony, 148 7500 West 78111 Street Edina, MN 55439 www.ronclark.com provide cohesive structure to neighborhood design, offer recreation opportunities close to home, and improve the general welfare of city residents. This zoning allows us to create a beautiful villa home neighborhood and establish a large conservation easement along the lake. The next step is to update the zoning for the property to PRD (Planned Residential District). This zoning will allow the creation of the Detached Villa neighborhood along with the large conservation easement. We will continue to work with staff to determine the setbacks and other standards needed to achieve the site plan shown. We currently are proposing front yard setback of 25 feet, side yard setbacks of 7 1/2 feet on each side and a rear yard setback of 25 feet. The final step is the Preliminary Plat and Conservation Easement, this part of the final review and approval process that defines in greater detail all items discussed above. We are working to achieve a 3.1 units/acre density for the developable land. The site is approximately 24 acres with 11 acres of lake, 4.5 acres of right-of-way and conservation area, leaving 8.5 acres developable (26 - 8.5 = 3.1 units/acre). Steps 2-5 will be reviewed simultaneously as part of a single submittal so each step remains consistent with prior steps, allowing comprehensive evaluation of all elements together. Housing and Architecture The single-family villa homes will be designed to integrate with the existing neighborhood while adding a new housing style not currently available in the neighborhood and with limited availability within the city. We are planning a mix of home designs ranging between 2,800 and 3,500 square feet. The home designs will offer two -car -plus garages, sunrooms, porches, and decks with a variety of floor plans and exterior styles. While the overall architecture is still in development, our other villa neighborhoods provide insight into the quality of homes and variety of exterior designs we deliver. We have included pictures of homes and site plans from other similar neighborhoods in our submittal package. We welcome everyone to tour our current model homes: at Greenway Villa in Golden Valley, Ridgewood Ponds in Minnetonka, Pike Lake Landing in Prior Lake & Lotus Villas in Eden Prairie, visit www.ronclark.com for more information and directions. We are committed to energy -efficient building practices as part of the Minnesota Green Path Builder program; the program has increased requirements that create homes that are 50% more energy efficient than current Minnesota energy code standards. Site Design The lots are designed on the 24-acre property to preserve the majority of existing trees adjacent to the lake and within the proposed conservation easement area, taking advantage of the beautiful lake and wooded views around the site boundaries. We have investigated and documented the wetlands and existing trees on the site. The watershed has approved the wetland delineation and lake edge determination with the DNR. The tree and 149 7500 West 78111 Street Edina, MN 55439 www.ronclark.com topographical survey we completed was used to create the site plan, minimize grading, and create simple, attractive water quality management areas to enhance water quality. Additionally, connecting to city sewer and water will eliminate the need for six new large underground septic systems and private wells that would be required if the site were developed under its current zoning. We will continue working with city staff and watershed staff to create a high -quality, environmentally sensitive neighborhood for Orono. Stormwater Management Stormwater from the site will be collected and routed to a new biofiltration basin created on -site as both a functional and aesthetic amenity to store and filter water into the soils below. The system will be designed to meet requirements of both the City and the Watershed District. Homeowners Association A Homeowners Association will be established for the neighborhood. The association will maintain each home's lawn, landscaping and snow removal, along with maintaining all common area landscaping. This allows control and proper use of street and lawn products that will not affect the lake. The association will also provide funding to maintain and manage the proposed conservation area along the lake edge.

(MNR) was contracted by Ron Clark Construction to assess and document the tree cover type and general condition of the wooded areas within the Lake Classen site located north of Wayzata Blvd. in Orono, Minnesota. This memo details the current vegetative tree cover of the plant communities encountered within the property as well as providing general recommendations for site clearing and woodland/forest management following grading activities. The Lake Classen site is a 14-acre property with two vacant residences and out -buildings, land covered in deciduous woodland/forest, planted evergreen tree areas, an apple orchard area, areas of open grassland with scattered trees, and part of the wetland fringe to Lake Classen. Surrounding much of the site to the east, west, and north is a large wetland complex associated with Lake Classen. County Road 112 (Wayzata Blvd.) borders the site along its southern boundary. Included with this memo is Figure 1 that depicts the location and extent of each plant community that was mapped and assessed within the site. In general, a good portion of the wooded areas on -site include a remnant Mesic Oak Forest with a similar sized area covered by deciduous woodland dominated by box -elder. The planted evergreen tree areas and the old apple orchard make up a considerably smaller area of the overall tree cover across the site. The following is a detailed description of each treed community mapped within the site. Four different wooded areas are described as occurring within the site's boundary and include: altered/non-native deciduous woodland, mesic oak -dominated woodland/forest, planted evergreen tree areas, and old apple orchard area. Altered/Non-Native Deciduous Woodland Approximate Area = 5.0 acres Mapped within the site are three separate areas that would be classified as Altered/Non-Native Deciduous Woodland. Altered/Non-Native Deciduous Woodland are not dominated by oaks, aspens, birches, sugar maple, or basswoods. These plant communities are typically a result of past land disturbance such as pasturing or land alteration. Typical tree species that make up the canopy of this type of community includes: box elder, green ash, and cottonwood. Elm also associates with this community as well as the occasional hackberry, aspen, oak, and basswood. For the most part the altered/non-native communities within the Lake Classen site are dominated primarily by box elder with green ash, quaking aspen, American elm, Siberian elm, red cedar, and 1032 Seventh Street West, Suite 150 1 Saint Paul, MN 55102 1 mnrinc.us 1 612.310.6260 175 Midwest Natural Resources, Inc. — Tree Assessment Lake Classen Site — Orono, Minnesota basswood. In general, within these areas are moderate to high levels of the non-native, invasive shrub common buckthorn. Buckthorn within the eastern part of the site is very dense with little overstory tree regeneration being observed. Trees inventoried within the Altered/Non-Native Deciduous Woodland areas • Box Elder (Acer negundo) • Green Ash (Fraxinus pennsylvanica) • Quaking Aspen (Populus tremuloides) • Red Cedar (Juniperus virginiana) • American Elm (Ulmus americana) • Siberian Elm (Ulmus pumila) • Basswood (Tilia americana) Management Recommendations Within these altered/non-native woodland areas, consideration should be made to manage remaining green ash trees that will be saved following construction of the proposed development (areas not to be graded). With emerald ash borer (EAB) being identified on -site, it would be recommended to remove all live green ash trees within any area that is proposed not to be graded. Removal of healthy ash trees is a common method of sanitation utilized by cities across MN and in the Midwest where EAB is a problem. Removal of these trees helps minimize the spread of this insect to adjacent wooded areas that may be free of EAB. Although this may seem like an extreme measure to take, removing green ash trees that appear healthy now will minimize the obligation of the future homeowner's association who will at some point have to deal with the removal of dead and/or dying green ash trees if they were to remain. The unwanted burden and cost placed on the future homeowners to remove dead and dying ash is not reasonable when actions can be taken prior to construction of new homes and installation of services like roads and utilities. If ash trees are left standing after the construction of the development, their removal will likely be considerably more costly due to obstacles (homes) now being in the way. Removing the trees during the land clearing stage of development is a more cost-effective and efficient method of dealing with EAB and it will also benefit the future HOA of not having to bear the unnecessary costs of ash removals. For areas of this plant community that will remain after land clearing takes place it is recommended to remove any dead or dying trees that were identified in the individual tree inventory completed by MNR. Any other tree within this community that may be considered a hazard should be either pruned to correct the structural issue or should be removed altogether depending on its overall condition. In addition to ash management within this community, the removal of the invasive, non-native shrub common buckthorn is also recommended. Areas of buckthorn that was observed in this community ranged from moderate to heavily infested. In order to manage this invasive species, efforts should focus on the removal and herbicide treatment of cut buckthorn shrubs. It would be recommended to work with a professional restoration company to perform this type of woodland restoration work. This task is not a one-time effort and any work that would be accomplished during land clearing should be relayed to the future HOA so follow-up treatments can be implemented for several years to follow. By beginning to manage this invasive species on -site, it will improve the ecological condition of this community and will also help reduce the off -site 176 Midwest Natural Resources, Inc. — Tree Assessment Lake Classen Site — Orono, Minnesota spread of the plant by birds who disperse the seed when eating the berries and depositing it to surrounding wooded areas. Mesic Oak -Dominated Woodland/Forest Approximate Area = 4.5 acres Mapped within the site is one contiguous wooded area that would be classified as a Mesic Oak - Dominated woodland/forest that is succeeding to Maple -Basswood Forest. This native plant community is a remnant of a larger forested area that likely covered more of the property prior to it being utilized as a residence with past land -altering activities. This native plant community is dominated by large, mature red oak, sugar maple, and basswood trees with several other deciduous trees occurring throughout. It is noted that the majority of this mapped area from Wayzata Blvd. north to the property line is where red oak, sugar maple and basswood are most common. Large, mature bur oak trees are more common along the steep slope at the north property line and are less common within the red oak -maple -basswood area. Unlike the altered/non-native communities that are mapped on -site, the mesic oak woodland/forest has considerably less buckthorn present at the shrub layer. However, areas along the steep slopes do have some level of buckthorn infestation in isolated pockets but are not even close to the levels encountered in the altered/non-native woodlands. Management Recommendations For areas of this native plant community that will remain after land clearing takes place it is recommended to remove any dead or dying trees that were identified in the individual tree inventory completed by MNR. In addition to these trees, any other tree that may be considered a hazard should be either pruned to correct the structural issue or should be removed altogether depending on its overall condition. Any green ash trees that are located within this community should also be removed for the same reasons stated earlier in this memo. Although there is much less common buckthorn present within this community compared to the altered/non-native woodland on -site, it would be recommended to also manage this invasive shrub species within the areas that will remain after land clearing. Since there is less buckthorn within this community, managing this invasive species will be less intensive and efforts will likely yield better long-term results. As was mentioned before, this task is not a one-time effort and any work that would be accomplished during land clearing within this plant community should be relayed to the future HOA so follow-up treatments can be implemented for several years to follow. Trees inventoried within the Mesic Oak -Dominated Woodland/Forest area • Red Oak, (Quercus rubra) • Bur Oak (Quercus macrocarpa) • Sugar Maple (Acer saccharum) • Basswood (Tilia americana) • Hackberry (Celtis occidentalis) • Bitternut Hickory (Carya cordiformis) • Quaking Aspen (Populus tremuloides) • Black Cherry (Prunus serotina) • Green Ash (Fraxinus pennsylvanica) 177 Midwest Natural Resources, Inc. — Tree Assessment Lake Classen Site — Orono, Minnesota Planted Everareen Tree Areas Approximate Area = 0.35 acre Mapped within the site are three separate areas of planted evergreen trees. These areas are located west of the vacant home in the middle of the site and occur as small groupings and clusters as well as an area that was planted in rows. It is highly likely these trees were planted sometime in the past by a previous land owner since no other evergreen trees are found within the deciduous woodlands/forest except for the very occasional red cedar which has volunteered around the site. Since this part of the site where the planted evergreens trees are located is proposed to be entirely graded, no management recommendations are needed for these areas. Trees inventoried within the Planted Evergreen areas • White Spruce, (Picea glauca) • Red Pine (Pinus resinosa) • Scotch Pine (Pinus sylvestris) ADDle Orchard Area Approximate Area = 1.5 acres Mapped within the site is an old apple orchard area with mature, overgrown apple trees planted in rows within the western half of the site. This area consists of occasional apple trees with unmaintained grasses growing at the herbaceous layer as well as scattered volunteer deciduous trees (ash and elm mainly) throughout. Sometime in the past, a previous land owner established the apple orchard but now many of these trees are in a state of decline and would be considered overmature. In many of the apple trees it is common to observe the symptoms of major internal decay as well as crown dieback. Since this part of the site where the old apple orchard is located is proposed to be entirely graded, no management recommendations are needed for these areas. In conclusion, MNR will be able to assist you during the land clearing stage of development to implement any EAB or common buckthorn management efforts that you may consider. We will also be able to assist you during land clearing activities in identifying hazardous trees, trees that may need structural pruning, or trees that may need to be pruned or removed in order to maintain safe work access.

General Land Use Plan CMP PART 3B LAND USE PLAN INTRODUCTION This Land Use Plan is a refinement and restatement of the ongoing planning practices of Orono citizens. It respects and maintains the historic development patterns of the City. It continues the basic land use concepts developed by Orono Township in 1950 and it conforms to the goals established by the first organized comprehensive planning attempts in the mid 1960's. This Plan is prepared and presented for the following purposes: 1. The Land Use Plan is intended to be a management tool for City officials, City staff, and other parties involved in land development and growth management in Orono. Orono's land use plan indicates the basic location, density and types of land uses in the City that are considered to be compatible with environmental conditions and beneficial to the long term health, safety and welfare of the City and its citizens alike. 2 The Land Use Plan is intended to be a guide for future development so as to reinforce our environmental protection commitment and to ensure such development will be consistent with existing land use. This Plan is compatible with the plans of nearby cities for land use of abutting neighborhoods and for overall levels of services and facilities. 3. The Land Use Plan is intended to advise the Metropolitan Council and our municipal neighbors of Orono's planning and growth management programs. The Land Use Plan illustrates and coordinates the various goals and policies of all the elements of the Community Management Plan. 4 The Land Use Plan is intended to be used as a basis for public facilities planning. The Land Use Plan plays an important role in determining each neighborhood's ultimate population, the required capacity of public facilities, and an appropriate capital improvements program. 5. The Land Use Plan is intended to be used as the basis for developing responsible ordinances for land use management. Zoning and subdivision controls have been established and will continue to be refined to implement the intent of this Land Use Plan. City of Orono Community Management Plan 2020-2040 Part 3B, Page 2 181 CMP Part 313. General Land Use Plan kya- l"A The time framework of the Land Use Plan is intended to be consistent with the regional planning period of 2020 through 2040 and with the City's permanent planning policy for rural Orono. Orono's long range land use plans call for permanent maintenance of the existing low density rural residential areas. There is to be no staged growth plan and no expansion of the existing urban service area. This commitment is particularly important to the many Orono citizens who are making private investments based upon this concept. BASIC LAND USE CONCEPTS AND PRINCIPLES Orono's planning programs have long recognized the development paradox, or urbanization spiral, which often results from arbitrary planning assumptions or from incomplete analysis of planning alternatives. The most striking example in Orono's situation is the documented evidence that over - extension of sanitary sewers, ostensibly to solve a pollution problem, can easily in itself cause irretrievable water quality degradation of Lake Minnetonka. Chapter I of this Plan outlines the "urbanization spiral". Nutrient management technologies such as NURP ponds, alum treatments, and a wide variety of Best Management Practices provide added tools to manage runoff from rural densities. However, Orono cannot and will not rely solely on man- made systems for preserving water quality, and will not increase density to pay for stormwater management infrastructure. A principal goal of Orono's planning program is the protection of natural resources and environmental amenities, particularly the water quality of Lake Minnetonka. The Environmental Protection Plan emphasizes Orono's unique environmental position in relation to the long-term health of Lake Minnetonka. Retention of natural vegetation, light, air, and open space will be promoted. Shorelines will be protected from erosion and alteration. Water quality preservation is dependent upon effective sewage treatment programs. Urbanized areas, shoreland areas and remaining existing higher -density housing clusters within the Rural area have been or will be provided with municipal sanitary sewer to prevent discharge of untreated or insufficiently treated sewage effluent into the Lake. In the rural areas, low density land use can be safely served long- term by individual on -site sewage treatment systems. Historic development patterns have resulted in a city which is partially urban and partially rural. These two development patterns offer a variety of housing to meet residents' lifestyle and service desires. The citizens of Orono have determined that a long range planning objective of the City is the permanent retention of the rural community. This objective is in line with the existing developed density of the area, and with the similar plans of other cities abutting the rural area. Orono is partly in the Metropolitan Urban Service Area (MUSA) and partly outside the current MUSA. The MUSA was established by Metropolitan Council to define the extent of areas where urban services will be provided and urban scale development will occur. Urban and rural neighborhoods require differing levels of public services and facilities. The urban areas of Orono have sufficient density to require, and to financially support, municipal sewer and water City of Orono Community Management Plan 2020-2040 Part 3B, Page 3 182 CMP Part 3B. General Land Use Plan services, increased police and fire protection, public works projects and public recreational facilities. These areas have such facilities in place and in sufficient capacity to accommodate all projected urban development. The rural areas have limited density and have environmental restraints prohibiting urban density encroachments. Orono expects future development in both the urban and the rural portions of the city. The urban area is expected to have new residential infill development on the existing vacant lots and undeveloped parcels at densities consistent with the Community Management Plan. Additional of higher density housing is anticipated in the planning term to accommodate a wider range of affordability and lifecycle housing needs, overall urban density will remain relatively low. The rural area is expected to have continued infill residential development. Non-residential development will likely be limited to open space recreation. Over time, changes in national priorities, population trends, metropolitan plans and metropolitan facilities have continued to reinforce the planning and development objectives of Orono. Community leaders have consistently held firm to the quality over quantity in approving development proposals, and will continue to do so. The projected population is a direct result of Orono's environmental protection policies and is consistent with the proposed public facilities plans of Orono, the Hennepin County Public Works Department, the Minnesota Department of Transportation and Metropolitan Council Environmental Services (MCES). Table 3B-1 illustrates Orono Population and Household growth, from 1970, projected through 2040. The most recent data supplied by the Met Council, in 2016, shows 7,691 people in 3,037 households.

Environmental and social pressures have eliminated any plans for expansion of County Road 15 along the lakeshore. Orono will continue to promote and implement strategies to reroute traffic away from the lakeshore areas. Regional sewer service facilities plans were revised three decades ago in response to Orono's plans for low -density development. The final Orono -Long Lake Interceptor is in place with a design capacity for less than 8,400 Orono residents and a limited service area. In the early 1980's, the Maple Plain Interceptor was similarly designed to provide only limited capacity for Orono. These capacity limitations are consistent with Orono's goals for the rural area. Orono's commercial and economic development has always been centered in the historic town centers. The shopping, employment, education and social needs of Orono residents have been met by commercial facilities and shopping centers located in Navarre and in surrounding communities. Promotion of duplicate facilities in Orono would tend to be uneconomic and counterproductive. Orono's housing plan is intended to accommodate all planned population growth in a wide variety of housing opportunities. New urban housing will be in a variety of forms including single family homes on scattered vacant lots throughout the sewered area; planned residential developments including mixed single family, attached townhome, and apartment dwelling units on vacant sewered parcels along Wayzata Boulevard and in the Navarre Area. Most new rural housing will be on new lots of two to five acres net dry -buildable area, all with prior approved site evaluation and proof of adequate septic system operation. In Shoreland areas previously brought into the MUSA, new low- density rural development may be provided with municipal sewers to afford the maximum level of protection for Lake Minnetonka and other Orono lakes. Orono's comprehensive sewer policy plan is designed to provide an adequate, safe level of sewage treatment and waste water disposal for all urban and rural properties. Sewage treatment policies respect the limited regional capacity and the differing levels of service required by urban and rural neighborhoods. Municipal sewer capacity is available for projected urban development within the existing City of Orono Community Management Plan 2020-2040 Part 3B, Page 5 184 CMP Part 3B. General Land Use Plan urban service area. Orono's transportation plan is tailored to the different needs of urban and rural neighborhoods. Near the lakeshore and in some rural areas, the collector roads are relatively slow speed with circuitous alignment dictated by the hills and bays rather than by commuter preference. The urban areas are provided with a typical network of city streets connecting residential and shopping areas with each other. The rural area is gridded-off with a core system of publicly maintained collector and minor arterial streets running at regular intervals. Orono's parks and open space facilities reflect different urban and rural characteristics. In the urban area, the City provides numerous small neighborhood parks and playgrounds offering centers for neighborhood activities such as swimming, skating, softball, and soccer. In addition, three larger preserves (Casco Circle, Saga Hill, and Highwood) offer substantial "natural" areas. In the rural area, a variety of City -owned parks and preserves offer a range of active and passive recreation opportunities. Large public and quasi -public recreational facilities include Three Rivers Park District lands, several golf courses, a gun club, the Luce Line state Trail, the Dakota Rail Trail, as well as two 'big woods' Scientific and Natural Areas. LAND USE GOALS AND POLICIES Orono's Land Use Plan is based upon the following goals and policies which in turn have been actively developed and fostered by Orono residents over the last 45 years. Land Use Goals 1. To reinforce Orono's environmental protection commitment, with special emphasis on the protection of Lake Minnetonka and Orono's other lakes. 2. To maintain the historic identity and character of the separate urban and rural neighborhoods. 3. To provide appropriate places for a variety of local residential, educational, recreational, industrial and neighborhood commercial activities. 4. To protect neighborhoods from encroachment of incompatible land uses. 5. To coordinate Orono's land uses with that of neighboring communities. 6. To coordinate land uses and developed density with the financial and physical capabilities of the City. General Land Use Policies 1. The boundary between Orono's Urban and Rural Areas is fixed. Orono's Urban Area will not be strictly defined by the Metropolitan Urban Service Area (MUSA) boundary or future expansions of the MUSA boundary but will be fixed by this and the other elements of the Community Management Plan. Orono's defined Urban and Rural Areas are best described by the planned development types and densities. Orono's Urban and Rural areas are depicted and City of Orono Community Management Plan 2020-2040 Part 3B, Page 6 185 CMP Part 3B. General Land Use Plan fixed by Map 313-1. 2. The Metropolitan Urban Service Area (MUSA) will define the areas of Orono where municipal sewers may be extended. The MUSA will include all parts of Orono's Urban Area and may include parts of Orono's Rural Area where appropriate. The MUSA boundary in Orono will define areas where sewer exists or where it may be extended to serve existing or new development, but will not define the areas where general urban services will be provided, and it will not strictly define the boundary between higher density and low -density development. 3. Orono's land use plans will be based upon environmental protection policies. Land use and development must assure the conservation, protection and preservation of sensitive environmental resources in accordance with the goals and policies of the Environmental Protection Plan. 4. Development density will be limited throughout the city to a level which will not overload the natural surface water drainage and filtration system. Urbanization increases the rate and quantity of surface runoff while decreasing the water quality. To the extent that it is practical and feasible, the City will supplement existing natural assimilation capacities with man- made ponding areas, but will not allow increases in development density beyond the defined density as a result of such supplementation. 5. The wetlands, floodplains, and marshlands of the city will be protected and preserved as wildlife habitats, as unique open spaces, and as an economically practical and effective method of flood protection and storm water runoff filtration. Wherever possible, the City will acquire open space and flowage easements for conservation of these lands. The city will not support the filling of a wetland to provide a buildable lot. 6. Protection of lake resources will allow reasonable access, use and enjoyment while preventing overcrowding and excessive encroachment. In conformance with Orono's Shoreland Management regulations, Orono will prohibit overly dense development within 1,000 feet of Lake Minnetonka. Lake use regulations will be promoted to limit excessive boat density and overuse of sensitive bays. 7. Lake shorelines will be protected from alteration. Shoreland areas, whether bluff, beach or floodplain, are sensitive environmental features with significant impact on lake water quality, aesthetic values and land use function. These same factors act to draw development which can be destructive if not properly regulated. Natural vegetation in shoreland areas will be preserved insofar as practical and reasonable in order to limit surface runoff and soil erosion, and to utilize excess nutrients. Clearcutting will be prohibited. In areas of soil or wave action erosion, material stone rip rap shoreline protection will be encouraged. Where determined to be feasible and practical, alternative natural methods of shoreline protection other than rip -rap will be promoted. Excavation, filling and other grade changes at or near the shoreline for the sole purpose of accommodating development will be discouraged. City of Orono Community Management Plan 2020-2040 Part 3B, Page 7 186 CMP Part 3B. General Land Use Plan 8. The City will work to encourage and facilitate slope stabilization measures prior to slope failures. 9. Development or alteration of floodplains will be restricted. The City will observe and administer Flood Plain regulations as required by the DNR. 10. Orono's land use plan will promote the preservation of open space, light and air. Sufficient open spaces will be provided in each neighborhood and on each lot to prevent overcrowding and to ensure adequate light, air and recreation for all residents. 11. Private ownership, maintenance and stewardship of the land, including open space and many types of improvements, is favored over public ownership as being in the best and most beneficial interests of the property owner and the public, providing for more intimate, responsive and economical land management. 12. No land owner should be denied the right to develop his land by any staged growth, land banking or no -growth policy, provided the development can be accomplished within the performance standards, policies and requirements of the Community Management Plan. 13. Future development must enhance the community. Land development should respect preserve the value of the land and the integrity, stability and beauty of the community. 14. Physical improvements required to accommodate new development must be provided by the developer. It is the policy of the City that development pays for itself, physical improvements such as roads, drainage and utilities required to accommodate new subdivisions or development should be designed, financed and installed directly by the benefited developer as a precondition to development In addition, this philosophy includes developer responsibility for special fire protection equipment or devices in the case of unusual land uses or building configurations, and/or special security services in the case of unusual public safety situations. 15. All physical improvements must conform to city standards. Physical improvements related to health, safety or community systems such as roads, pathways, drainage or utility systems will be designed, located and constructed to uniform, City -established standards to ensure proper functioning and compatibility with overall City plans. 16. Developers must dedicate lands required for public use. Land subdivision or any development that results in increased land use density, and hence increased demand for municipal services, will be expected to include public dedication of lands necessary for additional road rights of way, parks, playgrounds, trails, open space, ponds or storm water holding areas whenever such facilities are directly used by the subdivided land or required by such density increase. If the individual development's property is not conducive to public land dedication, then in lieu of lands the developer may be required to contribute funds for the municipal purchase of such lands or the improvement of such facilities proportionate to the cumulative effect of such density increase from multiple small developments. City of Orono Community Management Plan 2020-2040 Part 3B, Page 8 187 CMP Part 3B. General Land Use Plan 17. No land will be permitted to be subdivided or built upon which is held unsuitable by the City for the proposed use because of flood hazards, inadequate drainage, soil formations with severe limitations for development, severe erosion potential, unfavorable topography, inadequate water supply or sewage disposal capabilities, or any other feature likely to be harmful to the health, safety, or welfare of the future residents of the proposed subdivision or of the community. Urban Land Use Policies 1. The majority of Orono's urban area will be reserved for residential land use. Many urban residences will be intimately associated with the lake shoreline and will be subject to density restrictions because of sensitive environmental conditions. Medium and High Density multi- family residential uses will be limited to locations near existing shopping and transportation services, but will not be appropriate within 1,000 feet of the shoreline of Lake Minnetonka except when in close proximity to the Navarre commercial area abutting CR 15 or CR 19. 2. Commercial areas will be provided for neighborhood service businesses. The primary function of Orono's commercial areas will be to provide those retail, commercial and service businesses which are directly necessary to serve Orono's urban and rural residents. Commercial development will be limited to areas where full urban services, including municipal sanitary sewer and adequate transportation are available. Commercial development of a regional nature (i.e. "big box" retail) which would increase traffic, particularly on collector streets serving low density residential development, will be discouraged. Mixed Use Residential and Commercial Development is targeted for select traditionally commercial areas to provide a healthy base of customers for these limited commercial areas. 3. Lakeshore commercial areas will be provided for public access and limited lake -user services. Orono's residents and other lake users require lake access, fishing supplies, boat service and boat repair facilities which are unique to our location on a recreational development lake. Orono's Land Use Plan will provide locations for such special-purpose businesses where appropriate from both the land use and the lakeside environmental standpoint. No use or location will be permitted to adversely affect the lake quality or the public's general usage of the lake. All lakeshore commercial is to be limited to areas where full urban services, including municipal sanitary sewer and adequate transportation are available. 4. The City will encourage private unification and coordination of the existing commercial areas. Unplanned strip commercial developments will be discouraged. Coordinated projects designed to aesthetically enhance, unify and identify the business areas will be encouraged. 5. Future industrial development will be limited to the area of the existing Orono industrial park. No other location in Orono combines the availability of transportation and public utilities with remoteness from sensitive environmental features. In addition, this land use is consistent with Long Lake's neighboring industrial development. 6. Commercial and industrial development will not be permitted to adversely affect City of Orono Community Management Plan 2020-2040 Part 3B, Page 9 188 CMP Part 313. General Land Use Plan neighboring residential property. The location, scale and types of commercial and industrial development will be controlled so as not to encroach upon or adversely impact the primary residential land uses in Orono. Wherever possible, natural land forms or buffers will be required between different land uses. 7. Public urban services must be available for all future commercial, industrial and urban - residential development. Commercial, industrial and urban -density residential uses will be permitted only where municipal sanitary sewer, water, adequate transportation, police and fire protection services are available. 8. Urban development will utilize the capacity of existing public facilities. New land uses and development will be allowed to infill existing vacant properties within the urban service area consistent with environmental limitations and with the existing or planned capacities of water, sewer, drainage transportation and recreational facilities. New development will not be permitted to overburden these services at the expense of the existing users. 9. Land use standards will limit the impact of urban encroachment on Lake Minnetonka. Minimum lot width will space out docks and structural encroachments while increasing areas of natural vegetation. Lake use regulations promulgated by the Lake Minnetonka Conservation District and supplemented with City regulations if necessary will limit the number of boats per property and the amount of public waters available for private docking and boat storage. 10. Retention of natural vegetation will limit the impact of urbanization as visible from the lake. Building heights will be limited to less than the typical tree height. Minimum green belts will be provided with prohibitions against clearcutting or excessive thinning of vegetation. Natural vegetation will be preserved on slopes and retaining walls will be discouraged except when absolutely necessary to prevent erosion, in which case they will be screened with natural vegetation. Rural Land Use Policies Orono's rural area will be reserved for permanent low -density residential land use. Orono's rolling rural area is not suitable for commercial agriculture. Likewise, the delicate balance of storm water nutrient loading vs. marshland assimilative capacity precludes expansion of the urban service area without major environmental problems for Lake Minnetonka. Therefore, the ideal land use for that portion of Orono located outside of the Urban Service Area is the planned low - density rural residential land use. Commercial and industrial uses will not be permitted in the rural area. Orono's rural area provides the opportunity for quasi- agricultural land uses. Greenhouses, orchards, small hobby farms, riding stables, and recreation areas such as large golf courses and park reserves are not possible in more crowded urban areas but they are compatible with rural residential properties. Thus, the total commercial activity of Orono is broader and more varied than if the City were all urban or all rural. Rural density is limited by natural conditions. Development of rural Orono is naturally limited by a number of conditions including wetlands, steep slopes and areas of high water table, factors which influence building locations and transportation options as well as the location and spacing City of Orono Community Management Plan 2020-2040 Part 3B, Page 10 189 CMP Part 3B. General Land Use Plan of on -site sewage treatment systems which rely on soil treatment of sewage effluent. The existing rural area will not be urbanized. Orono's Community Management Plan is not a staged growth plan. Municipal urban services will not be extended into the rural area or across open, rural lands. Rural land uses and densities do not require urban services. Urban services are not compatible with rural land use. Extension of certain urban services, such as extensive public road maintenance or municipal sewer or water cannot be economically justified or easily provided to developments in rural areas or at rural densities. Rural development will be subject to proven on -site sewage treatment capability. Future development in the rural area will be contingent upon the developer providing prior technical evidence that the site contains sufficient suitable land for all development, an acceptable primary drainfield area, and reserved space for at least one alternate drainfield area. The zoning area requirements for rural Orono will therefore be based upon minimum areas of dry, buildable, contiguous land exclusive of roadways, wetlands, streams or areas of high water table. Rural land use densities will allow maximum retention of private woods and open space. Low rural densities will accommodate home -sites without affecting the traditional vistas of open fields and woods. The retention of these woodlands and marshlands will then assure permanent habitat for our wildlife. Public open space will be provided on a large-scale or Park Reserve basis, but neighborhood or mini -parks are unnecessary because of the large amount of available privately owned and maintained open space. Rural lakeshore areas within the Shoreland and within the MUSA will be provided with municipal sewer service upon request. Municipal sewer service connections will be available to new or existing residences within the designated Shoreland Overlay District and within the MUSA when requested, costs to connect will be the responsibility of the property owner. However, this policy will not preclude development of such areas using fully conforming Individual Sewage Treatment Systems. Lakeshore Residential Land Use Policies Although Orono's lakeshore has a wide range of diversity in lot size and home size, the predominant character of Orono's lakeshore is natural. Natural is defined in part by much of the lakeshore being historically developed as large estate lots with homes set back a substantial distance from the lakeshore, or being developed as moderate homes on moderate lots leaving substantial open space. Natural includes remnants of native forests and vegetation, protection of the lakeshore from hardcover and impervious surface encroachments. The exception to the natural lakeshore is the areas where historically small cottages were built on small lots close to the lakeshore. These cottages in many cases have been updated, remodeled or expanded into year- round homes. The key goal of the City's Comprehensive Plan is to protect Lake Minnetonka, and other Orono lakes and waterways which includes the preservation of the natural character of the lakeshore and the water quality of the lakes. City of Orono Community Management Plan 2020-2040 Part 3B, Page 11 190 CMP Part 3B. General Land Use Plan As the demand for, and value of, lakeshore property has dramatically increased, so has the pressure to expand or replace older homes with much larger homes. This pressure has the potential to substantially alter the natural character of the lakeshore, and the more open and natural environment enjoyed by property owners along much of the lakeshore in Orono. The following policies will guide the City in addressing development on the lakeshore. 1. Lake Minnetonka shall be protected as a natural and recreational resource. 2. The natural character of the lakeshore shall be preserved, and when possible, enhanced. The views and open space currently enjoyed by lakeshore property owners shall be reasonably protected. 4. The size of a house to be allowed on a lot shall be determined, in part, based on the size of the lot, as well as on the shape and topography of the lot. 5. The increase in massing of structures on the lakeshore shall be limited. 2040 REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT FRAMEWORK Accommodating future growth of the Metro Area is a concern that will require wide-ranging resources. The Metropolitan Council in 2015 adopted "Thrive MSP 2040" to provide a plan for addressing the challenges that will be faced by the Twin Cities area over the next two decades in accommodating expected growth in the region. Forecasts indicate the metro area will grow by 820,000 people between 2010 and 2040, and as the average household size continues to shrink (from 2.55 in 2010 to 2.43 by 2040) an additional 389,000 households must be accommodated. In addressing the challenges of growth, Metropolitan Council has acknowledged that a "one size fits all" approach to implementing the Regional Development Framework is not appropriate, and has designated Geographic Planning Areas to identify communities with similar types of growth. In general, Orono's area within the MUSA boundary is designated as "Emerging Suburban Edge" and the areas outside the MUSA boundary are "Rural Residential". Metropolitan Council has identified a set of implementation strategies for each of these categories, as well as an umbrella of strategies that will apply to all communities. Map 3C-1 outlines the Community Designations and the community responsibilities. Each local community is required to address how it will plan for its share of regional affordable housing needs for the decade 2021-2030. Metropolitan Council has apportioned the forecasted need among each of the municipalities in the 7-county metro area. Minnesota Statutes require that comprehensive plans include an implementation program that describes public programs, fiscal devices and other specific actions to be undertaken in stated sequence to implement the comprehensive plan and ensure conformity with metropolitan system plans. One required element is a housing implementation program, "...including official controls to implement the housing element of the land use plan, which will provide sufficient existing and new housing to meet the local unit's share of the metropolitan area need for low and moderate income housing." Orono's share is forecasted at 154 new affordable housing units for the decade 2021- City of Orono Community Management Plan 2020-2040 Part 3B, Page 12 191 CMP Part 3B. General Land Use Plan 2030. EXISTING AND FUTURE LAND USE SUMMARY Map 313-2 depicts the existing land uses in Orono as of 2016. Table 313-2: Orono Existing Land Use Summary, shows just over 1/3 of Orono's total area is in open water; of the remaining 2/3 that is land area, 92% is devoted to residential, parks & open space uses, or underdeveloped.

Note that the Summary reflects that the planned uses are to be allowed to take effect immediately rather than being staged over a period of years, thus the 2030 and 2040 predicted acreages are the same as 2020 levels. able 313-3: Orono Planned Land Use Summary (Ame nts 1-6) and Use Category 2020 Acreage % of City 2030 Acreage % of City 2040 Acreage % of City Rural Preserve (1 unit / 5 acres) 1207 8.39% 1207 8.39% 1207 8.39% Rural Residential (1 unit / 2 acres) 2808 19.52% 2808 19.52% 2808 19.52% Island Residential 55 0.38% 55 0.38% 55 0.38% Urban Estate Density Residential (0.5 — 2 units /acre) 3177 22.08% 3177 22.08% 3177 22.08% Urban Low Density Residential (3 -8 units/ acre) 165 1.15% 165 1.15% 165 1.15% Urban Med Residential/ Mixed Use (8 — 15 units / acre 86 0.60% 86 0.60% 86 0.60% Urban Medium High Density Residential (15 -20 units per acre 3 0.02% 3 0.02% 3 0.02% Urban High Density Residential (20 -25 units per acre 51 0.35% 51 0.35% 51 0.35% Commercial/ Office 46 0.32% 46 0.32% Industrial 42 0.29% 42 0.29% Park, Recreational and Open Space "420.29% 1570 10.91% 1570 10.91% 9,210 64% 9,210 64% Percentages based on total city area, including 6014 acres of open water and Highway rights of way Source: Proposed Land Use Map The Plan does not suggest a change in land use over the next 20 years, after the adoption of this Update. The land uses identified in Map3B-3a and Map 3B-3b are outlined in greater detail below. Lakes and Open Water Areas within the city boundary of open water. The Lakes and associated watersheds are a significant influence on the quality of life and character of the City. However, since they are not a land use, they are not included in the land use calculations for the city. Open water constitutes approximately 34% of the surface area of the City. 2. Rural Preserve (1 unit per 5 acres) The northwest corner of the City is planned for a lower density of one unit per five acres. This area has been developed to provide large lot and quasi agricultural home sites. The extension of municipal water or sewer is not intended for these areas. Residential dwelling units will be provided as single family detached structures. 3. Rural Residential (1 unit per 2 acres) This is the typical rural residential density developed and planned to be permanently self-supporting. No rural density will be allowed greater than one unit per two acres except for those residences in existing rural housing clusters that were originally developed many decades ago and in most cases have been provided with municipal sewer within the past 3 decades. New rural developments may include housing clustering when environmental and site conditions allow, provided the overall density within the development conforms to these requirements, and provided that all sewage treatment needs can be adequately met within. Residential dwelling units will be provided as single family detached City of Orono Community Management Plan 2020-2040 Part 3B, Page 14 193 CMP Part 3B. General Land Use Plan structures. 4. Urban Estate Residential (0.5-2 units per acre) This is intended for areas that have developed in a land use pattern of lots developed many decades ago smaller than 1 acre, and have access to sanitary sewer services. These lots have a particular impact on lake water quality, and lake character and storm water management, massing, and hardcover controls are critical to the retention of this character. Residential dwelling units will be provided as single family detached structures. Urban Low Residential (3-8 units per acre) This higher density will be reserved for properties deemed by the City Council to be so uniquely situated that residential development at the prescribed density will not negatively impact surrounding land uses. Such properties must have municipal sewer and water available. Other factors that will be taken into consideration in determining the appropriate locations for this density will include proximity to and the need for other urban utilities and services in relation to the proposed use; transportation system impacts and site access; and the ability of the proposed use to meet City housing goals. Residential dwelling units will be provided as single and two family structures. 6. Urban Medium / Mixed Use Residential (8-15 units per acre) This land use designation is reserved for specific sites, which based on their proximity to services and transportation corridors are deemed appropriate for higher density projects. The Mixed Use Residential designation is intended for established commercial areas on higher classification transportation routes to introduce an element of higher density residential. This residential component will serve to augment the commercial uses with a near -by customer base and to provide an efficient use of land. The properties targeted for Mixed Use classification are in the Navarre area, including a number of commercially zoned properties abutting Shadywood Road, and additional commercial and residential properties abutting Shoreline Drive. This Mixed Use designation is intended to allow for the possibility of higher density multi -family residential development such as senior and assisted living, townhomes, condominiums or apartment buildings. Under the Mixed Use designation, properties currently zoned for residential use are not intended to be converted to commercial property, but existing commercial property could be converted to higher -density residential use or mixed residential -commercial uses in the same buildings. The City may also consider new zoning standards to regulate potential mixed -use projects. The Metropolitan Council requires that communities provide a measurement of forecasted employment. Acceptable measures include floor area ratios, building footprint percentages or impervious surface percentages. The City anticipates mixed use within the context of the neighborhood, and not necessarily specific to a particular parcel. Where employed, the City can envision ground level commercial services, with 2nd and 3rd level residential, though that is not the expected universal development pattern. The employment and service centers in Orono are very suburban in nature, equating to low Floor Area Ratios (FAR). The City anticipates development and redevelopment of its employment and service centers to continue that development pattern, given the City's goals toward open space, stormwater management, and relatively modest building scale. The City anticipates its commercial and mixed use areas to be driven by retail and service industries, with a corresponding FAR between 0.2 and 0.35. Properties in Area E of Table 313-4 and Map 313-4 are the primary candidates for mixed use City of Orono Community Management Plan 2020-2040 Part 3B, Page 15 194 CMP Part 313. General Land Use Plan development. The City has identified 51 net acres of properties that could be developed or redeveloped in the next 20 years. Based on the height limit (30 feet) and the desire for commercial services to mix with residential, the City anticipates 70% of Area E to convert to residential uses, the remaining 30% to Commercial. Assuming a FAR ratio of 0.25 to 0.45, there is the potential of 418,000 and 731,000 sq ft of building area. Assuming up to a third of that being used for Commercial purposes, that nets between 125,400 and 219,500 sq ft of commercial space, in Area E. Total Sq Ft (Total 1/3 of area for Jobs, Assuming SF * FAR) Commercial 1000 sqft per worker FAR 522,720 172,498 172 0.25 FAR 940,896 310,496 310 0.45 Applying the Commercial Building Energy Consumption Survey findings*, in particular the median square feet per worker, we can extrapolate a conservative estimate of 1000 sq ft per worker, based on likely retail, office or service employment, census region, climate, and number of floors. This yields a range of potential employment of between 172 and 310 workers in Area E alone. * Commercial Building Energy Consumption Survey completed by the US Energy Information Administration, updated December, 2016 7. Urban Medium High Density Residential (15-20 units per acre) This land use designation is reserved for specific sites, which based on their proximity to services and transportation corridors, are deemed appropriate for higher density projects, but not appropriate for the highest densities. Other factors that will be taken into consideration in determining the appropriate locations for this density will include proximity to and the need for other urban utilities and services in relation to the proposed use; transportation system impacts and site access; and the ability of the proposed use to meet City housing goals. Residential dwelling units are anticipated to be provided as 3-5 unit townhomes, apartments, condominiums, and senior housing structures, no higher than 30 feet in defined height. Urban High Density Residential (20-25 units per acre) This land use designation is reserved for specific sites, which based on their proximity to services and transportation corridors, are deemed appropriate for higher density projects. Other factors that will be taken into consideration in determining the appropriate locations for this density will include proximity to and the need for other urban utilities and services in relation to the proposed use; transportation system impacts and site access; and the ability of the proposed use to meet City housing goals. Residential dwelling units are anticipated to be provided as 4 unit townhomes, apartments, condominiums, and senior housing structures, no higher than 30 feet in defined height. 9. Island Residential (1 unit per 5 acres) The Island residential is characterized by limited access, utilities, and municipal services for properties originally developed as seasonal cabins. The Land use category is intended to preserve this land use without encouraging additional subdivision. This area is envisioned for seasonal occupancy in single family detached structures. City of Orono Community Management Plan 2020-2040 Part 3B, Page 16 195 CMP Part 313. General Land Use Plan 10. Commercial/ Office Commercial/ Office is the general land use describing 3 sub land use categories: Lakeshore Commercial, Navarre Commercial District, and Orono/ Long Lake Business District. Urban commercial development is limited to two areas which are provided with all the necessary urban services and facilities. LAKESHORE COMMERCIAL Lakeshore Commercial, restricted to lake access and lake user service businesses, including marinas, are appropriate for a lakeside community and require a lakeshore location. Special performance standards are necessary to assure protection of the lake environment. Parking, utilities, lake/ Highway access, and pedestrian circulation must be considered in siting new Lake Shore Commercial Uses. NAVARRE COMMERCIAL DISTRICT. See also Urban Medium High Density Residential/ Mixed Use. The major commercial center of Orono will continue to be Navarre. This area will provide opportunity for neighborhood retail and service businesses, plus professional offices. Accessory functions such as offices and living units or limited multi -family developments will be considered appropriate in or near the Navarre commercial area. The scale and type of retail uses in a pedestrian -friendly environment is the most important development parameter for the Navarre commercial area. The City will encourage redevelopment of individual commercial sites in Navarre to allow for an expanded range of neighborhood services and local small business opportunities. The Navarre Commercial District extends along either side of Shoreline Drive from the intersection of County Roads 15 and 19 westward to the Orono -Spring Park border, and along both sides of Shadywood Road from Lyric Avenue to Lydiard Avenue. The commercial uses along these intersecting corridors are typically only one tier deep, with virtually all commercial properties abutting either Shoreline Drive or Shadywood Road. Additionally, the commercial properties are not continuous, with residential properties scattered among them, making for a somewhat fragmented business district that is spread out over a mile in length from end to end. Along these two corridors the second tier of development is typically residential. Past City planning efforts for the Navarre area have identified a number of challenges to be addressed as Navarre redevelops in the years to come: 1. High traffic volumes and the existing traffic management infrastructure result in poor pedestrian accessibility. Pedestrians have limited options for crossing CR 15 or CR 19. The Park and Ride facility location and inflexibility of bus routes (partially due to the location and configuration of the P&R lot) requires that bus patrons cross CR 15 on at least one leg of their commute. 2. Parking availability is a limiting factor for expansion or redevelopment of existing businesses. 3. Beautification efforts are hindered by road width and right-of-way constraints as well as financial constraints. 4. Aging buildings are ripe for redevelopment yet provide low rental rates that allow local City of Orono Community Management Plan 2020-2040 Part 3B, Page 17 196 CMP Part 313. General Land Use Plan businesses to survive and thrive, reducing the incentive to redevelop. 5. There is little architectural cohesiveness among the existing buildings. 6. Compatibility of certain business uses with the closely adjacent residential neighborhood can become an issue. 7. Desire to expand pedestrian connectivity to adjoining neighborhoods and to Dakota Rail Trail. 8. Introduction of higher density mixed use (residential and commercial) development to select sites identified in the Land Use Plan. ORONO/LONG LAKE BUSINESS AREA An additional commercial area is designated along Wayzata Boulevard where the availability of transportation and utilities as well as proximity to similar commercial developments in Orono and Long Lake, make commercial use appropriate. Orono will coordinate its commercial development planning related to Wayzata Boulevard area with the City of Long Lake to ensure the Long Lake downtown area remains vital and viable, to focus retail development in a compact downtown retail area, and to prevent the extension of retail development west of Willow Drive in Orono. The retail development in the Wayzata Boulevard area will be community or neighborhood scale rather than "big box" regional scale development. The types of retail uses will be those that focus on providing services to the residents and businesses of Long Lake and Orono, while also drawing from the reduced traffic stream on Wayzata Boulevard resulting from opening of the new Highway 12 corridor. However, the retail development is not to draw substantial traffic from beyond Orono. The development plans for the Highway 12 area will encourage locally -owned and operated businesses that provide services to Orono and Long Lake residents. Additionally, the Highway 12 retail area will be a pedestrian -friendly area. This involves providing trails/sidewalks along the roadways providing access to the retail uses. It also involves providing public amenities that provide a sense of place and provide a gathering place for the public. Parameters for commercial use of this area are as follows: 1. The area affected is property lying between Kelley Parkway and Wayzata Boulevard, west of Willow Drive and east of Old Crystal Bay Road. 2 Allowed uses in this area include professional offices, limited service uses, retail uses accessory to the office use, and senior and assisted living uses. 3. Access to all uses will be via Kelley Parkway. Direct access to Willow Drive, if allowed, are intended to be right-in/right-out only. There shall be no direct access points onto Wayzata Boulevard. City of Orono Community Management Plan 2020-2040 Part 3B, Page 18 197 CMP Part 313. General Land Use Plan 4. "Big box" retail uses will not be allowed within this area. 9. Park/ Recreation/ Open Space Park, Recreation, and Open Space Land Use includes public and private parks and natural areas throughout the community. The recreational facilities identified on the Land Use Plan are principally large natural or open space areas which are compatible with their Rural Area location. 10. Industrial This district provides space for industrial activities for companies that are able and willing to achieve superior standards of design and environmental protection. Industrial land uses should be restricted to areas abutting major transportation corridors and individually cited so as to minimum negative impacts on residential areas. Based on their heavy hardcover needs, industrial areas should be located further than 1,000 feet from lakes. The Metropolitan Council requires that communities provide a measurement of forecasted employment. Acceptable measures include floor area ratios, building footprint percentages or impervious surface percentages. Orono anticipates that new development in the Industrial land use will tend to result in FAR of 0.32 to 0.4. There is about 10 acres of vacant or underdeveloped industrially guided property. Applying the same methodology as outlined in the Mixed Use section: Total Sq Ft (Total SF * Jobs, Assuming 1500 sqft per FAR) warehouse worker FAR 0.32 139,392 93 FAR 0.40 174,240 116 The City can anticipate an additional 93-116 jobs upon the full buildout of the Industrial areas. These two areas, using the conservative estimates outlines, demonstrate Orono can accommodate employment growth projections. 11. Major Highway and Railway Uses Identifies land occupied by federal or state highways and railway improvements. NA VARRE AREA PLAN In 2018, the City completed the Navarre Area Plan (NAP) with the aid of a Planning Consultant, WSB and Associates. This planning process focused on the land range vision and land use goals for the Navarre area, and to inform the Comprehensive Plan, for this update. The proposed land uses shown on Map 313- 3 include the findings from the Navarre Area Plan. Map 313-3a shows the Navarre area specifically. The Navarre Planning Process employed a Planning Advisory Committee (PAC), consisting of 13 members of the Navarre area community, including business owners and operators and residents. The Planning Process included three PAC meetings, an open house in January, and a Joint Work session in April. Public comment was collected via the open house, work session, on-line surveys, and the use of a social media tool, Social Pinpoint. The full report, including the appendices detailing the comments received, and the market study, are attached in Appendix 313-A of this chapter. The NAP evaluated several factors influencing the changes in the Navarre neighborhood over the next 20 City of Orono Community Management Plan 2020-2040 Part 3B, Page 19 198 CMP Part 313. General Land Use Plan years, including the market, traffic and transportation. The goal of the PAC was to influence and guide this change toward a Navarre area that can serve as a pseudo "downtown" of Orono, while still respecting the core Orono values as a small, rural community. A market study was completed by Maxfield and Associates, tested the land use assumptions made by the land use plan. The market study was used to adjust the planned land use map from the 2030 to the 2040 Plan. Traffic and transportation issues are a major influence on the character and change in Navarre. In 2019, Hennepin County is expected to improve the intersection of County Roads 15 and 19 (Shoreline and Shadywood Road), though these improvements are not expected to increase capacity. Capacity challenges of this section of the community are discussed in the Transportation Chapter. The findings of the Navarre Area Plan are highlighted below. Interaction with Lake Minnetonka ■ As part of any redevelopment proposals involving parcels on the south side of Shoreline Drive between Carman Street and Kelly Avenue, the City should work with developers to identify opportunity areas that allow for viewing, sitting, and walking near the lakeshore. Fishing or boating connections to Lake Minnetonka are not anticipated. Future Development ■ Cautiously consider allowing increased building heights and residential density in areas along Shoreline Drive and Shadywood Road (where appropriate) to increase pedestrian traffic and encourage additional retail development. ■ Consider incorporating incentives into the zoning ordinance that allow for higher density in exchange for enhanced architectural features, underground parking, public amenities, plazas, open spaces, and recreation areas. ■ Adopt architectural and design regulations where appropriate to require pedestrian scale design. Consider regulations for maximum building setbacks, minimum window coverage, location of parking facilities, architectural materials, facade articulation, and entryways. ■ Review all permitted and conditional commercial uses within zoning districts along Shoreline Drive and Shadywood Road to ensure that the types of desired businesses are allowed in Navarre. Types of allowable uses should focus on small scale neighborhood goods and services and avoid those that do not have a large customer draw. ■ Consider reduced parking requirements for businesses that provide bicycle parking. ■ Explore acquiring additional property for providing shared parking and periodic public gatherings for Navarre businesses. ■ Host a developer round table to discuss obstacles to development in Navarre. Be prepared to address those obstacles. ■ Consider developing a fagade improvement program to encourage the revitalization of neglected commercial buildings. Revolving loan funds may keep the money working within Navarre. Transportation Improvements City of Orono Community Management Plan 2020-2040 Part 3B, Page 20 199 CMP Part 313. General Land Use Plan Work with Hennepin County on a plan for future improvements to Shoreline Drive and Shadywood Road that improves safety and mobility for pedestrians and cyclists. Consider eliminating some of the free right turns at the northwest, southwest, and southeast corners to help narrow the intersection, reduce speeds, and improve vehicle predictability. Check in with Hennepin County staff bimonthly and use the Navarre Small Area Plan PAC as the review committee for potential improvements. Explore options for adding pedestrian and streetscaping amenities with any roadway improvements such as wider sidewalks, decorative pavement, landscaping, benches, and other ornamental features. Meet with Hennepin County transportation staff to discuss potential improvements to alternate arterials that would relieve traffic pressure on Shoreline Drive and Shadywood Road through Navarre. Discuss options to reduce traffic volumes on Shoreline Drive and Shadywood Road. Consider plans for access and the impact of expected traffic volume on Shoreline Drive and Shadywood Road with any redevelopment along these roads. Work with Hennepin County on developing an access management plan for properties that may redevelop along these roadways. Shadywood Trail Connection ■ Continue to have discussions with Hennepin County and Three Rivers Park District regarding the trail connection along Shadywood Road to keep the process moving forward. ■ Engage with impacted property owners early to identify necessary mitigation required. ■ Conduct additional public engagement regarding the trail as part of the community engagement surrounding the intersection improvements. Community Events ■ Encourage the development of a community festival. ■ Consider collaboration with nearby communities on an event that incorporates multiple destinations along the trail. ■ Utilize the city -owned parking lot on the north side of Shoreline Drive and west of Shadywood Road as a possible location for hosting tents, bands, and vendors associated with an event. ■ Should the block northwest of Shoreline Drive and Shadywood Lane (Maxfield Study Block 4) redevelop, that redevelop should include a space available for public gatherings such as an annual festival. ■ Leverage an annual festival as an opportunity to do enhanced branding for Navarre. ■ Explore opportunities for collaboration with the Mound farmers' market to organize a farmers' market along the Dakota Rail Trail in Navarre. ■ Consider the formation of a Navarre Business Association. Tear Downs ■ Review development standards applicable to single-family homes in Navarre. Review to ensure that adequate controls are in place to ensure that new development is compatible with the existing character and scale of the neighborhood, while still encouraging the City of Orono Community Management Plan 2020-2040 Part 3B, Page 21 200 CMP Part 313. General Land Use Plan redevelopment of blighted properties. Such standards could include requirements for floor area ratio, height, hardcover, architectural materials, landscaping, and accessory structures. ■ Proactively address blighted properties through the City's code enforcement process so that existing homes are well maintained. Consider revisions to the City's code enforcement process or adopting fines if non-compliance is an issue. ■ Review its demolition and construction regulations. If the regulation updates require addition administration and monitoring by City staff, consideration should be given to increasing the demolition permit fee commensurate with the addition staffing demand. WHATS CHANGED This update of the Comprehensive Plan introduces higher residential density along Kelley Parkway and Wayzata Boulevard, lowers density for the properties adjacent to the fire station on Willow, removes residential mixed use density along Shadywood, and introduces additional properties to potential mixed use development/ redevelopment along Shoreline in Navarre. These changes are all reflected on maps 313-3a and 313-3b. FUTURE DEVELOPMENT/STAGED DEVELOPMENT The City does not intend to establish a staged growth plan, limiting a property owner from the use of their land, provided the development can be accomplished within the performance standards, policies and requirements of the Community Management Plan. The City anticipates its growth to occur in the same manner has been employed over the last three decades. The majority of subdivision based growth will occur via the splitting of larger lots into subdivisions of less than 6 new building sites. Small areas of the community are conducive to higher density. These projects have served to accommodate our aging community, and provide additional housing and neighborhood options not prevalent in Orono. The City's new residential growth within the MUSA area is expected in one of 5 primary areas, depicted on Map 3134 Planned Development areas, and summarized in Table 3134, Predicted Growth in Sewered Areas. The table predicts growth over the next 2 decades and identifies the MUSA part and the Traffic Analysis Zone impacted. Assuming development at the minimum range, the city will meet its household growth projection for 2030 and 2040. The city also maintains opportunity for property owners to provide housing to meet affordability goals. The Net Density for the sewered areas of Orono identified in Table 3134, is summarized for clarity on Table 3B-5. The763 units planned to be served by sanitary sewer services over the next 20 plus years yields a net density of 3.21 units per acre.

Development of these areas typically follows a piecemeal pattern as individual properties split into 1-3 units, where lots can accommodate subdivision. 20% of the land (and 40% of the identified for future growth) is in the Navarre area; Due to the costs associated with redevelopment, including acquisition of multiple parcels, and the city's conservative view of public financial aid to private sector development, it is anticipated that this growth will be slow. The balance of the predicted sewered growth will occur on the remaining larger parcels where municipal services are available currently. Table 3B-6 below illustrates that based on predicted development patterns, the City can meet its projected growth in the sewered areas.

General Land Use Plan Figure 313-2 Employment by Industry HISTORIC SITE PRESER VATION PLAN Orono began to develop in the mid 191h Century, and many of the vestiges of early development are still present, in the form of standing buildings and structures, foundations, fence lines, roadway corridors, place names and other more subtle reminders of the past. Additionally, due to Orono's unique location on the shores of Lake Minnetonka, prehistoric native burial mound sites are known to have existed in various locations throughout the City. Orono has long encouraged the preservation of historic sites and structures, but has never adopted a formal preservation plan. Because no formal plan has been in place, many historic properties have been lost or significantly changed as development and redevelopment progressed. The subdividing of many of the old lakeshore estate properties has typically left a stately mansion surrounded by modern high -end homes rather than formal grounds. The City is fortunate that the West Hennepin Pioneer's Association Museum is located in neighboring Long Lake, with its members serving as an invaluable resource for helping to preserve the past. Historic Preservation Policies 1. In order to ensure that Orono's heritage is preserved, the City will consider development of a Historic Preservation Plan. The intent of such a plan would be to establish goals, policies and local regulations resulting in preservation of historic sites, buildings, place names, corridors, etc. 2. Orono will work with the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) in determining whether properties proposed for development contain historically significant resources which should be preserved.

The Navarre area is generally located at the intersection of County Roads 19 (Shoreline Drive) and 15 (Shadywood Road). The study area (Figure 1) includes the residential area north of Shoreline Drive, south of Crystal Place, west of Bayview Place, east of the city limits, and the commercial areas along Shoreline and Shadywood Road. The Navarre area represents Orono's historic town center. A number of planning initiatives have been done for the area over the last twenty years, however, have not been fully acted on. The intent of this plan is to develop a vision for the area to guide policy and investment decisions. The process began with a consultation with the City Council on Monday, September 11, 2017, to discuss the issues that would be evaluated as part of the plan, including: • Explore expanding the Navarre neighborhood to touch and interact with Lake Minnetonka • Develop strategies that can build on the success of the Dakota Rail Trail. • Encourage trail users to be customers of the Navarre businesses. • Examine and determine the commercial and multi -family markets for Navarre and the surrounding area to determine the appropriate development opportunities. • Design guidelines, zoning tools, and/or regulations for the remodels and tear -downs of the existing single-family homes. • Engage the residents, business owners, and elected officials to determine the feasibility of any redevelopment strategies. • Create clear redevelopment strategies for implementation. A Planning Advisory Committee (PAC) made up of fourteen Navarre area stakeholders was selected by the City Council to help guide the planning process around these topics. The first meeting of the PAC took place on Thursday, October 19, 2017 and included an overview of past planning studies and included a SWOT analysis discussion about the Navarre area. A community open house was held on Thursday, November 16, 2017 at the Long Lake Fire Station #2. The open house included several interactive activities aimed at getting feedback about what people want to see in Navarre and what they would like to change. An online engagement tool, Social Pinpoint, was also utilized to gather feedback. Social Pinpoint allowed participants to identify areas in the neighborhood where there are issues and to identify things they would like to see. Several survey questions were also collected using Social Pinpoint. Following the community open house and gathering responses from Social Pinpoint, a PAC meeting was held on Thursday, January 11, 2018 to present the findings from the community engagement. The discussion focused on the seven key issues presented to the City Council and a direction forward on each issue was determined. The draft report of this small area plan was presented to the PAC on Thursday, March 8 and to the City Council and the Planning Commission during a joint Work Session on April 9, 2018. The Navarre Small Area Plan was incorporated as part of the 2040 Comprehensive Plan update, which was adopted on December 10, 2018. Previous Planning Studies Several planning initiatives have been undertaken for the Navarre area in recent history. The following information provides an overview of those studies since 2006 to provide context for this small area plan process. Page 2 4 PA Navarre Moratorium / DSU Studv — 2006 In July of 2005, the City Council imposed a moratorium on development applications for the Navarre commercial area with the intent to study the area and develop a framework to guide future investment. The City enlisted the services of Dahlgren, Shardlow, and Uban (DSU) to provide an analysis of the existing conditions and to conduct a workshop with business and property owners and surrounding neighbors to present an analysis of existing conditions, explain the City Council's objectives, and facilitate a discussion about the future of the area. The discussion included a SWOT analysis of the Navarre area. Approximately 75 members of the public were in attendance. A narrative summarizing the outcomes of the workshop identified three objectives for the area: 1. Preserve the small-town atmosphere of Navarre 2. Creation of community area around the lakeshore 3. Encourage a functional, thriving business district DSU also conducted a joint City Council and Planning Commission meeting to present the workshop findings and assist the City in determining next steps for planning to support reinvestment in the Navarre area. This included a presentation of concept renderings depicting various improvements within the public right-of-way, including pedestrian amenities such as decorative sidewalk, seating areas, public art, enhanced landscaping, and signage. One concept explored the possibility of a roundabout at the intersection of Shoreline Drive and Shadywood Road. Comprehensive Plan Discussion — 2010 In 2010, following the completion of the City's comprehensive plan, City staff and the City Council discussed options for updating the City's zoning map and ordinances for properties guided for higher density or mixed use. In the case of Navarre, the discussion included the possibility of developing a Mixed -Use Overlay District; however, this was never implemented. Navarre Community Initiative — 2011 The Navarre Community Initiative (NCI) is a group formed in late 2011 made up of residents and business owners of the Navarre area intended to provide input to the City Council regarding potential improvements for the area. In addition, the intent of the group is to enhance Navarre's quality of life with special emphasis on public safety, beautification, and preservation. The group's work includes defining short-term and long-term projects and enlisting the support of a variety of community partners to assist in their implementation. A City staff member serves as a liaison to the committee for communication purposes between the committee and City Council. In early 2012, NCI and the City sent a letter and questionnaire to Navarre businesses soliciting their thoughts and ideas for the area. Out of 58 questionnaires, only six responses were received. In the spring of 2012, NCI presented a petition to Navarre residents, which read "Agreeing with concerns that current traffic conditions in Navarre are a clear and present danger, I support safety improvements that affect pedestrians, bikers and autos as the number one priority in our Navarre community." The petition received approximately 200 signatures On July 16, 2012, members of NCI, city staff, and the Mayor conducted a walking tour of Navarre to identify issues and opportunities for the neighborhood. Hennepin County / Community Design Group — Hennepin County Pedestrian Plan 2012 On August 28, 2012, a group meeting was held at the Freshwater Institute as part of a series of meetings conducted by Hennepin County and Community Design Group to gather local input regarding the Hennepin County pedestrian plan and to identify issues with safe walking along county roads. Approximately 50 participants attended the meeting. The outcome of this process Page 3 213 was a final plan that seeks to improve conditions for walking in Hennepin County so that it can become a safer, more convenient, and more enjoyable transportation choice. City of Orono / Hennepin County — Street Light and Sidewalk Improvements — 2013 The City of Orono held a series of meetings to gather input from residents and businesses regarding future planning for Navarre. Meetings took place on February 11, April 8 and June 10, 2013 at Orono City Hall. Meetings included updates on recent activities regarding Navarre as well as review of street lighting options under consideration and discussion of sidewalk issues. Hennepin County Transportation Department staff were also involved in the process to discuss potential pedestrian and traffic safety improvements currently being studied. A survey was developed that allowed residents to comment on proposed street light alternatives. Following the public participation process, the City completed a streetlight and sidewalk improvement project in the summer of 2014. In addition, Hennepin County revised their striping plan for the crosswalks in response to recommendations from the City and residents at the June 10 meeting. There were approximately 40 attendees at the February 11 meeting, 35 attendees at the April 8 meeting, and 20 attendees at the June 10 meeting. Blue Cross Blue Shield Minnesota — Navarre Demonstration Project 2014-2015 In collaboration with Blue Cross Blue Shield Minnesota, the City held two open house meetings with Navarre residents and businesses to develop ideas for a potential Active Living Demonstration project. Demonstration projects are short-term projects or pop-up events intended to show what potential permanent improvements could look like. The City held the meetings to gather feedback on what issues could be addressed as part of the demonstration project. Objectives identified as part of the meetings included traffic calming and making the area more pedestrian friendly. Ideas for projects included bringing in temporary boulevard trees, improving trail connections to businesses, and providing community gathering spaces. The City had planned to seek grant funds from Blue Cross Blue Shield Minnesota for the demonstration project; however, due to the timing of the resignation of the City's Community Development Director, a grant application was not completed by the City. The NCI agreed to go forward with a scaled back version of some of the projects. Page 4 214 Navarre Study Area Map — Figure 1 Interaction with Lake Minnetonka Lake Interaction Opportunities One of the key issues identified for this study was whether the Navarre neighborhood can be expanded to touch and interact with Lake Minnetonka. Few opportunities exist to physically connect with the lake based on the Navarre boundaries shown in Figure 1. The most logical location to provide any sort of connection would be along the south side of Shoreline Drive between Carman Street and Kelly Avenue. The PAC identified this area as possible opportunity to connect with Lake Minnetonka. Should any of these properties redevelop in the future, it is possible that development could occur in a way that provides views of the lake. Through the community engagement process, feedback was received that was overwhelmingly opposed to any active lake access, such as a public launch, in this location. Environmental concerns were cited as the primary reasons. Therefore, connections with the lake in this area should be passive and limited to views and opportunities to walk or sit near the lakeshore. If development is proposed in the future, the city should work with developers to create a public space near the lakeshore, where appropriate. When redevelopment opportunities along the Lake present themselves, the City should consider if those redevelopment could provide a possible connection for the Navarre neighborhood with Lake during the redevelopment. Future Development Market Study Considerations Maxfield Research and Consulting, LLC was hired to conduct a market study to evaluate potential development opportunities in the Navarre area. The entire market study is attached to this report as Appendix A. The scope included a review of key demographic trends, assessment of current market conditions for housing, and analysis of the current commercial market in the Lake Minnetonka area. The study identifies seven potential redevelopment areas and describes the potential land uses that could result. These land uses are an indication of what the market would support but do not Page 5 215 L -- 0 necessarily represent the desires of the neighborhood. The seven redevelopment areas are identified in Figure 2. The study finds that many of the properties could accommodate a variety of different land uses given their location, access, and surrounding land uses. Recommended uses based on market demand include retail, for -sale townhomes, for -sale condominiums, senior housing, and rental housing. Market Study Map — Figure 2 TABLE 29 SUMMARY OF REDEVELOPMENT SITE POTENTIAL USES M �� � �� �� �g 1 3.66 x x 2 4.58 x x 3 1.86 x x 4 2.60 x x x x 5 6.78 x x x x 6 2.22 x x 7 2.63 x x x Source: Maxfield Research & Consulting, LLC Commercial Market The market study finds that Navarre and the greater Lake Minnetonka area is under -retailed. An opportunity exists to attract additional retail businesses to the Navarre area along Shoreline Drive or Shadywood Road. The market study identifies Sites #4 and #5 (see Table 29 above) as being the most attractive to retail tenants. Attracting additional retail businesses to Navarre would also Page 6 216 be consistent with feedback received through the community engagement process, as the neighborhood desires a more robust commercial district with places to go. There is currently no market for speculative office development. Build -to -suit office development may occur for specific businesses but those decisions on site attractiveness would consider different factors than considered in this market study. Residential Market In looking at the market -supported residential uses, for -sale townhomes would likely only be supported on Site #2, due to higher land costs on the other sites. Mid -rise for -sale condominiums and rental housing could likely be supported on all of the sites. Residential densities for multi- family housing in third -tier suburbs, such as Orono, are generally in the 25 to 40 units an acre range. Increasing the number of residential units near the intersection of Shoreline Drive and Shadywood Road would likely increase the potential for greater pedestrian traffic and provide support for additional retail businesses. Higher residential densities also help to justify public investment in pedestrian infrastructure such as enhanced pavement, lighting, benches, decorations and landscaping. Mixed responses were received regarding the desire for higher residential density in Navarre; however, there was overwhelming support for pedestrian improvements and additional retail businesses and places to go. Generally, higher residential densities are required to justify spending on pedestrian improvements and to attract additional retail businesses. Navarre will need to consider these tradeoffs carefully when reviewing future proposals for higher density residential housing. Other Uses Considered The market for hospitality has been oversaturated and therefore a hotel is not likely to be supported at any of the identified locations. If lake access were available, a small boutique hotel could be a possibility in Navarre. Additionally, office uses will be very difficult to attract in Navarre as the office market cannot generate the rents needed to support new construction; however, an office building with a built -to -suit tenant would be an ideal use for several of the identified sites. Transportation Improvements Improvements to County Road Intersection Overwhelmingly, residents of the Navarre area find the intersection of Shoreline Drive (County Rd 15) and Shadywood Road (County Rd 19) to be dangerous and unwelcoming to pedestrians and cyclists. Traffic volumes, speeds, and the orientation of the intersection all contribute to unfavorable pedestrian conditions. Based on feedback received through the citizen engagement process, a priority for the neighborhood is to make the area more pedestrian friendly. With both of these roadways under the jurisdiction of Hennepin County, the City will need to work closely with the County to ensure that future improvements meet the needs of the neighborhood. As part of any road improvement, an objective should be to reduce speeds of motor vehicles and consider all modes of transportation. This may be achieved with lane narrowing or other optical illusions to get drivers to respond accordingly. However, since the roadway is already at capacity in terms of traffic volumes, it is unlikely that improvements will aim to drastically reduce speeds. Another objective should be to tighten up the intersection and make traffic movements for all modes of traffic more predictable. Eliminating some of the free -right turns at the northwest, southwest, and southeast corners of 15/19 intersection should be options that are considered, which would help narrow the intersection, reduce speeds, and improve vehicle predictability. Hennepin County has obtained federal funding to make safety improvements to the intersection. The project is scheduled in the County's capital improvement plan for 2019. Hennepin County Page 7 217 M M may begin community outreach in 2018. In addition to broader community engagement, utilizing the PAC from this small area plan as a focus group could provide the County a good opportunity for enhanced local input. Traffic Volumes Map — Figure 3 Navarre Small Area Plan - Traffic Volumes d :4. .; t �g Y 14ENNEPIN Y� M —d 1, { `Z rmtasp November 36, 2017 1:16'000 OM uzs as1 Arterial Capacity The segments of Shoreline Drive and Shadywood Road within the Navarre area would be classified as three lane undivided roadways with a capacity of 15,000 to 17,000 vehicles per day. Current and projected traffic volumes are consistent with that of a four -lane undivided roadway, as shown in Figure 4. The objective of the neighborhood to enhance pedestrian and bicycle mobility is not consistent with a common transportation goal to move as many vehicles through the area as quickly as possible. This plan supports improvements to the intersection that improve safety for pedestrians and cyclists while still reasonably accommodating vehicle traffic. The City should continue to work with Hennepin County on a plan that achieves safety improvements for pedestrians and cyclists, while also exploring improvements to other arterials in the area that could relieve some of the traffic pressure through Navarre.

As a highly -used bike and walking trail, an opportunity exists to connect trail users to the Navarre area. Presently, there is not an ideal physical connection to draw people from the trail towards the businesses and the park. At the time of this report, Hennepin County, Three Rivers Park District, and the City of Orono have discussed an unformalized agreement to fund a trail connection south of the trail along Shadywood Road to the park. This connection was also well supported throughout the community engagement process. The implementation of this trail connection should be a priority for Navarre. Additional analysis will need to be done to identify the necessary mitigation required to impacted property owners. Additional community engagement should also be done regarding the trail connection and could be done concurrently with the engagement surrounding the intersection improvements. The City of Orono should continue to have discussions with Hennepin County and Three Rivers Park District regarding the trail connection to keep the process moving forward. Community Events Through the community engagement process, it was found that there is a desire to create a sense of place and enhanced sense of community. One of the ways this could be achieved is through community events. Through the community engagement process, people responded favorably to the idea of an annual festival in Navarre. An annual festival would bring people to the area and create an awareness of what Navarre is. The community engagement process also revealed a desire to see enhanced branding for Navarre. The city -owned parking lot on the north side of Shoreline Drive and west of Shadywood Road provides a centralized location and public open space for an event. The enhancement of this public space to accommodate uses in addition to parking should be explored. An event could be centered around the Dakota Rail Trail and include some kind of race or walkathon. An event could be coordinated in collaboration with nearby communities and feature different attractions along the trail. In addition to an annual event, Navarre could host a regular farmers' market in collaboration with Mound, which currently hosts a farmers' market along the trail. Page 9 219 The Navarre Community Initiative had developed a community event as late at 2016 which was well received. Any community event will require continued leadership from those within the community, most likely in the form of volunteer residents and area stakeholders. Community partners should consider the formation of a 501(c)3 organization should be explored for the purpose of managing an annual festival. Partnerships with the City of Orono, Hennepin County, and Three Rivers Park District could be beneficial in carrying on a successful ongoing festival. With a 501(c)3 organization, the public or agencies may donate resources or in -kind services to assist in the cost of any event, such as police or public works assistance. Existing Single -Family Housing In highly desirable areas, including the Navarre community, existing single-family homes are more frequently torn down to reconstruct newer single-family homes. In some cases, this is beneficial, as blighted properties are removed and larger homes bring in increased property value and young families. In other cases, there may be issues, such as new development being inconsistent with the existing neighborhood character and disruption during the construction. Navarre has already experienced some signs of this development pressure. As such, outreach was done regarding this topic as part of the small area plan process. Generally, people responded that their concern surrounding the tear down and rebuild of single family homes in the area is low to moderate. The top two issues identified for which there is a moderate level of concern include preservation of existing neighborhood character and the height of new development. The City should review development standards applicable to single family homes in Navarre and make sure that adequate controls are in place to ensure that new development is compatible with the existing character and scale of the neighborhood, while still encouraging redevelopment of blighted properties to occur. A proactive approach to code enforcement and property maintenance should also be taken to address properties that are deteriorating and detracting from the neighborhood. Implementation Interaction with Lake Minnetonka • As part of any redevelopment proposals involving parcels on the south side of Shoreline Drive between Carman Street and Kelly Avenue, work with developers to identify opportunity areas that allow for viewing, sitting, and walking near the lakeshore. Fishing or boating connections to Lake Minnetonka are not anticipated. Future Development • Consider allowing increased building heights and residential density in areas along Shoreline Drive and Shadywood Road (where appropriate) to increase pedestrian traffic and encourage additional retail development. • Consider incorporating incentives into the zoning ordinance that allow for higher density in exchange for enhanced architectural features, underground parking, public amenities, plazas, open spaces, and recreation areas. • Adopt architectural and design regulations where appropriate to require pedestrian scale design. Consider regulations for maximum building setbacks, minimum window coverage, location of parking facilities, architectural materials, fagade articulation, and entryways. • Review all permitted and conditional commercial uses within zoning districts along Shoreline Drive and Shadywood Road to ensure that the types of desired businesses are allowed in Navarre. Types of allowable uses should focus on small scale neighborhood goods and services and avoid those that do not have a large customer draw. • Consider reduced parking requirements for businesses that provide bicycle parking. Page 10 220 ■ Explore acquiring additional property for providing shared parking and periodic public gatherings for Navarre businesses. Host a developer round table to discuss obstacles to development in Navarre. Be prepared to address those obstacles. Consider developing a fagade improvement program to encourage the revitalization of neglected commercial buildings. Revolving loan funds may keep the money working within Navarre. Transportation Improvements • Work with Hennepin County on a plan for future improvements to Shoreline Drive and Shadywood Road that improves safety and mobility for pedestrians and cyclists. Consider eliminating some of the free right turns at the northwest, southwest, and southeast corners to help narrow the intersection, reduce speeds, and improve vehicle predictability. Check in with Hennepin County staff bimonthly and use the Navarre Small Area Plan PAC as the review committee for potential improvements. • Explore options for adding pedestrian and streetscaping amenities with any roadway improvements such as wider sidewalks, decorative pavement, landscaping, benches, and other ornamental features. • Meet with Hennepin County transportation staff to discuss potential improvements to alternate arterials that would relieve traffic pressure on Shoreline Drive and Shadywood Road through Navarre. Discuss options to reduce traffic volumes on Shoreline Drive and Shadywood Road. • Consider plans for access and the impact of expected traffic volume on Shoreline Drive and Shadywood Road with any redevelopment along these roads. Work with Hennepin County on developing an access management plan for properties that may redevelop along these roadways. Shadywood Trail Connection • Continue to have discussions with Hennepin County and Three Rivers Park District regarding the trail connection along Shadywood Road to keep the process moving forward. • Engage with impacted property owners early to identify necessary mitigation required. • Conduct additional public engagement regarding the trail as part of the community engagement surrounding the intersection improvements. Community Events • Encourage the development of a community festival. Community partners should consider forming a 501(c)3 organization to assist in fundraising and administration of a community festival. • Consider collaboration with nearby communities on an event that incorporates multiple destinations along the trail. • Utilize the city -owned parking lot on the north side of Shoreline Drive and west of Shadywood Road as a possible location for hosting tents, bands, and vendors associated with an event. • Should the block northwest of Shoreline Drive and Shadywood Lane (Maxfield Study Block 4) redevelop, that redevelop should include a space available for public gatherings such as an annual festival. • Leverage an annual festival as an opportunity to do enhanced branding for Navarre. • Explore opportunities for collaboration with the Mound farmers' market to organize a farmers' market along the Dakota Rail Trail in Navarre. • Consider the formation of a Navarre Business Association. Page 11 221 Navarre Small Area Plan Tear Downs Review development standards applicable to single-family homes in Navarre. Review to ensure that adequate controls are in place to ensure that new development is compatible with the existing character and scale of the neighborhood, while still encouraging the redevelopment of blighted properties. Such standards could include requirements for floor area ratio, height, hardcover, architectural materials, landscaping, and accessory structures. Proactively address blighted properties through the City's code enforcement process so that existing homes are well maintained. Consider revisions to the City's code enforcement process or adopting fines if non-compliance is an issue. Review its demolition and construction regulations. If the regulation updates require addition administration and monitoring by City staff, consideration should be given to increasing the demolition permit fee commensurate with the addition staffing demand.

RE: Initial Market Assessment for the Navarre Small Area Plan in Orono, Minnesota Introduction/Purpose and Scope of Research This memorandum contains an initial market assessment to evaluate the potential develop- ment opportunities in Navarre neighborhood located in Orono, Minnesota. The scope of the study includes a review of key demographic trends, an assessment of current market conditions for housing, and analysis of the current commercial market in the Lake Minnetonka area. The methodology used to calculate demand in this memorandum is proprietary to Maxfield Re- search but is consistent with methodologies used by analysts throughout the housing industry. This report includes primary and secondary research. Primary research includes interviews with rental property and self -storage managers gathering data on existing and proposed rental and self -storage properties. Secondary research is credited to the source when used, and is usually data from the U.S. Census or regional planning agencies. Secondary research is always used as a basis for analysis, and is carefully reviewed in light of other factors that may impact projec- tions such as residential building permit data or migration trends. MAXFIELD RESEARCH AND CONSULTING, LLC 224 Mr. Eric Zweber WSB & Associates, Inc. Navarre Trade Area December 19, 2017 Page 2 Navarre is located within the City of Orono. While Orono only has a population of just over 8,000 people (Esri 2017), approximately 56,000 other people (Esri 2017) live within a 5-mile ra- dius of the site set from the intersection of Shadywood Road and Shoreline Drive.

Traffic counts are reported as the number of vehicles expected to pass a given location on an average day of the year. This value is called the "annual average daily traffic" and are represented on traffic count or traffic volume maps. The AADT is based on a short-term traffic count, usually 48 hours, taken at the location. This count is then adjusted for the variation in traffic volume throughout the year and the average number of axles per vehicle. Short-term counts are col- lected over a three-year cycle. MAXFIELD RESEARCH AND CONSULTING, LLC 229 Mr. Eric Zweber WSB & Associates, Inc. December 19, 2017 Page 7 According to MnDOT 17,600 vehicles utilize Shoreline Drive on the southern border of Navarre daily. Shadywood Road, which runs through the eastern half of Navarre, has an annual average daily traffic count of 4,900, while Sunset Drive, just west of the site, has and AADT of 2,490. The maps on the following page illustrate the drive times from the subject property and traffic counts. This information is helpful in determining a draw area for various services in the area. It is also useful to determine access to workforce as potential business operations would likely give strong consideration to commuting patterns when making location decisions. As shown, the Site can be reached within a 20 to 30-minute drive of Downtown Minneapolis.

We also analyze data on population age distribution, household in- come, household tenure, and household type to determine the housing and shopping needs of the local household base. Table 2 presents population and household growth trends in the Market Area from 2000 to 2022. The 2000 and 2010 population and household figures were obtained from the U.S. Cen- sus Bureau. The 2017 estimate and projection for 2022 are based on data provided by ESRI with adjustments made by Maxfield Research to reflect current year data. The following are key points from Table 2. • As of 2017, Orono is estimated to have 8,179 people. Between 2000 and 2010, the pop- ulation decreased 1.3% (-101) while the number of households increased 2.1% (+58). • In 2017, the population of Navarre is estimated to make up 4.2% of the total population of Orono. While Hennepin County experienced growth between 2000 and 2010, Orono decreased in population. However, both the city and county are expected to grow from 2017 to 2022. MAXFIELD RESEARCH AND CONSULTING, LLC 231 Mr. Eric Zweber WSB & Associates, Inc. December 19, 2017 Page 9 • Although the population of Navarre was only 342 persons in 2017; the population in- creases to over 2,100 persons within a one -mile radius, nearly 21,000 within three miles, and over 56,000 within five -miles. Household growth outpaced population growth during the 2000s and is forecast to do so through 2022. The aging of the baby -boom generation, declining birth rates, and many couples choosing to postpone having children until later in life are all factors con- tributing to a declining average household size. These trends will continue to generate demand for more diverse housing products such as townhomes, and condominiums.

Age Distribution December 19, 2017 Page 10 The age distribution of a community's population helps in assessing the type of housing and commercial services needed. For example, younger and older people are more attracted to higher density housing located near urban services and entertainment while middle-aged peo- ple (particularly those with children) traditionally prefer lower -density single-family homes. In terms of retail, younger people typically seek services such as entertainment, electronics, and specialty apparel. Child stores increase in popularity for the 25 to 34 and 35 to 44 age cohorts while home furnishings are more frequently sought by the 45 to 54 and 55 to 64 age groups. Table 3 presents the age distribution of the Market Area population from 2000 to 2022. Infor- mation from 2000 and 2010 is sourced from the U.S. Census. The 2017 estimates and projec- tions for 2022 were calculated by Maxfield Research based on information from local building permits and economic conditions. The following are key trends about the age distribution of the Market Area's population. • In 2017, we estimate that the largest adult cohort by age in Navarre is 45 to 54 totaling 63 people (19.4% of the total population), followed by the 55 to 64 age group with 56 people (17.3%). The same trend was found in Orono where the two largest age cohorts are also 45 to 54 (21.0%) and 55 to 64 (17.8%). • The greatest growth is projected to occur among older adults. Aging of baby boomers led to a 51.4% increase (+1,537 people) in the 55 to 64 population between 2000 and 2010 in Orono. As this group ages, the 65 to 74 and 75 plus age groups are projected to experience rapid growth from 2017 to 2022, expanding 28.0% and 32.8%, respectively. • A decline in the middle age cohorts is projected between 2017 and 2022 in Orono. The 45 to 54 age cohort is expected to decline 5.8%. • The weak growth projected for the middle age population is a result of the compara- tively small number of people who will move into those age cohorts between 2017 and 2022, a phenomenon known as the "baby bust." The "baby bust" is often referred to the generation of children born between 1965 and 1980, an era when the United States birthrate dropped sharply.

Page 13 Household Income Distribution Income data is useful in that it can reflect wage trends and helps assess living conditions and reveal demand for different types of services. This data also helps determine demand for differ- ent types of owned and rented housing based on the size of the market at specific cost levels. In general, housing costs of up to 30 percent of income are considered affordable by the Depart- ment of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Household income data also helps ascertain demand for different types of retail services. People with lower incomes are likely to seek out discount retailers and spend a higher proportion of their income on necessities like grocery items. Retail services and goods such as dining and home furnishings will experience higher spending from more moderate -income households while upper income households will also shop for specialty apparel, recreation and sporting goods, and luxury items. The next three tables present data on household income by age of householder in 2017 and 2022 for Navarre, Orono, and Hennepin County. The data is estimated by ESRI and adjusted by Maxfield Research and Consulting, LLC to reflect the most current local household estimates and projections. The following are key points. • In 2017, the median household income for Navarre is estimated to be $91,744. This value is lower than the estimate for Orono ($136,259), but significantly higher than that of Hennepin County ($68,497). However, the median income for Navarre is expected to increase by 15.5% to $105,955 by 2022. • As households age through the lifecycle, their household income tends to peak in their late 40s and early 50s. This trend is evident in the Market Area as the age 45 to 54 co- hort has the highest estimated income at $189,487 in Orono. • Rental housing often targets younger renter households. The median household income in Orono is $63,804 for the under-25 age group and $102,544 for the 25 to 34 age group. Households earning the median income for these age groups could afford monthly housing costs estimated at $1,595 and $2,564, respectively. • Households in the 35 to 44 age group that may delay buying a home could afford a $3,879 monthly rent, based on the median household income of $155,158. • The median sale price for new construction multifamily housing units (twinhomes and detached townhomes) in Orono is approximately $677,00 (based on recently sold and active listings). Assuming that a potential home buyer has good credit and makes a 20% down payment, a household would need to have a minimum annual income of roughly $166,000 to be income -qualified for a new construction multifamily unit purchased at the median price in Orono.

Household Type December 19, 2017 Page 21 As with age distribution, the trends in types of households impact demand for different types of housing. Table 10 presents data on the types of households in the Market Area in 2010 and 2015. Family households include married -couple families with children (so-called "traditional" families), married couples without children (mostly empty nesters, but also young married cou- ples without children), and other -family households (single parents and unmarried couples with children). Non -family households include persons living alone and roommates (unrelated indi- viduals living together, including unmarried couples without children). • In 2015, there were a total of 3,184 family households in Orono including 766 married couples with children, 1,130 married couples without children, and 182 other families. Married couples without children include empty nesters, who are increasingly a market for for -sale multifamily housing and younger couples without children, who are also a primary market for rental housing. • From 2010 to 2015, the greatest growth among family households in Orono was among "other" families, which grew by 81 households (80.2%). This is in contrast with the de- crease by 119 households (-13.4%) in the number of married couples with children in Orono. Conversely, from 2010 to 2015 in Hennepin County, the number of families categorized as "other" decreased by 269 households (-0.6%) and the number of married couples with children increased by 65 households (0.1%). • There were 1,106 non -family households in Orono in 2015. This includes 126 persons living alone and 980 roommate households. Persons living alone added 28 households (28.6%) to Orono from 2010 to 2015, while the number of roommate households in- creased by 339 (52.9%). Roommate households consist of unrelated persons living with each other to share housing costs and unmarried couples without children, among oth- ers. These persons also tend to be younger and often prefer to live in locations that are closer to entertainment, activities, and other nightlife.

Today, senior housing includes a spectrum of housing alternatives, which occasion- ally overlap, thus making the differences somewhat ambiguous. However, the level of support services offered best distinguishes them. The following figure classifies senior housing projects into five categories based on the level of support services that are offered.

Page 35 e �s ■ J4 n�1C v�14 Trails of Orono Consumer Expenditure Patterns Long Lake Assisted Living Table 18 shows estimated consumer expenditures and average expenditures per households for retail goods and services in Navarre and Orono compared to all of Hennepin County in 2017. Data was obtained from ESRI based on Consumer Expenditure Surveys from the Bureau of La- bor Statistics. The table shows the average expenditures per household in the Market Area by product or ser- vice. The average expenditure reflects the average amount spent per household, while the total expenditure reflects the aggregate amount spent by all households. In addition, a Spending Po- tential Index (SPI) is illustrated for comparison purposes. The SPI is based on households and represents the annual expenditures for a product or service relative to the national average which is given a benchmark index of 100. An SPI of 115 indicates that the average annual ex- penditure by local consumers is 15% above the national average. Two-thirds of the national economy is driven by consumer spending. Consumer spending is in- fluenced by market conditions and trends. In times of economic troubles, market conditions drive spending patterns toward convenience and necessities, whereas in times of a booming economy consumer trends feature opportunity and luxury items. During the most recent reces- sion, when the housing market began its decline in late 2006 into 2007, consumer spending and consumer confidence followed. Households decreased spending, increased savings, and re- duced credit card debt as many households were faced with job losses. As the nation exited the recession, consumers gained confidence and spending gradually recov- ered. Consumer confidence continues to grow suggesting economic growth with higher con- sumption. The following are key points from the household expenditures table. MAXFIELD RESEARCH AND CONSULTING, LLC 258 Mr. Eric Zweber WSB & Associates, Inc. December 19, 2017 Page 36 • Overall, Navarre residents will spend an estimated $6.9 million on retail goods and ser- vices in 2017, excluding housing, finance/insurance, and travel expenditures, as well as vehicle purchases. • Average annual expenditures (excluding the categories mentioned above) are estimated to be $38,538 per household in Navarre. This compares to an average of $27,506 per household for Hennepin County. • As reflected in the SPI, expenditures by Navarre and Orono households are higher than the Hennepin County average in every product and service category. • Among the retail categories, Market Area spending was greatest for Food at Home (i.e. groceries) at an average of $8,353 per household in Navarre compared to $6,052 per household in Hennepin County. • Spending was also high for Food Away from Home ($5,693 per Navarre household) and Entertainment and Recreation goods and services ($5,375 per household in Navarre).

Sources: ESRI; Maxfield Research & Consulting, LLC Retail Demand Potential and Leakage Tables 20 through 24 on the following pages present current retail sales and consumer expendi- ture data for Block Groups 27053072031 and 27053072032; Orono; Hennepin County; and a 5- mile radius around Navarre. Due to ESRI data limitations, information could not be provided for the Navarre site area and instead the two block groups closest to the site were analyzed (see map on the following page). The sales information is from ESRI based on household counts. This information lists retail demand (potential sales), retail supply to consumers (retail sales) and provides a picture of the gap between the area's retail supply and demand. A positive value represents "leakage" of retail opportunity to stores outside of the Market Area. A negative value represents a "surplus," where more customers are coming into the area for retail goods and services than there are households in the area. • As depicted in the tables and illustrated in the following graphs, leakages exist in most retail industry segments in both Navarre and Orono. For the Navarre area block groups, MAXFIELD RESEARCH AND CONSULTING, LLC 261 Mr. Eric Zweber WSB & Associates, Inc. December 19, 2017 Page 39 the total Retail Trade industry (including Food and Drink) experienced a $46.5 million sales leakage in 2017, while Orono experienced a $209.8 million sales leakage. • There is high leakage in Orono and from within the three- and five -mile radius of Na- varre. This suggests the Navarre area is under retailed and could support new commer- cial development.

Conclusions December 19, 2017 Page 52 The impetus for this study was to complete a high-level initial analysis of the future develop- ment potential in Navarre. Previous sections examined the demographic, economic, and mar- ket performance of various real estate uses in the Navarre area. This section summarizes the market potential findings and makes recommendations on the most appropriate product types that may be captured in Navarre. Potential Redeveloament Sites Maxfield Research & Consulting, together with WSB, identified potential areas is Navarre that could support redevelopment. Table 28 identifies parcels of interest sorted into seven poten- tial redevelopment areas. The table shows the parcel address and PID, owner, acreage, land use, last date of sale (if applicable), and current market values and property taxes. The redevel- opment areas range in size from 1.86 acres up to 6.78 acres. The following summarizes the re- development sites and the potential land uses that could result. • Site #1: The first site is the western -most site in Navarre located just north of Shoreline Drive and south of the 6.4-acre Hennepin County property. This redevelopment consists of five parcels that comprise about 3.7 acres and include a mix of commercial and resi- dential properties. Most of the property is about 200-feet deep off Shoreline Drive. Recommended land uses could include: o Mid -rise housing o Stand-alone commercial sites o Small retail center Because of the traffic along Shoreline Drive, this site would be accessed by a "right -in right -out" and could experience a longer wait time to make a left turn out of the site. Site #2: This property consists of three properties that collectively are about 4.5-acres. These sites are not presently on the tax rolls and are either tax forfeited properties or owned by the City of Orono. The site is wooded and located directly to the north of the Navarre Fire Department and west of a for -sale townhome development. The site also abuts the railroad track to the north. Recommended land uses could include: o For -sale twin homes or villas o Attached for -sale townhomes o Mid -rise housing MAXFIELD RESEARCH AND CONSULTING, LLC 275 Mr. Eric Zweber WSB & Associates, Inc.

Most of the commercial buildings are dated as they were constructed between 1947 and 1986. All of the prop- erties have frontage on Shoreline Drive and are surrounding by housing land uses to the north of the parcels. This area would have access and visibility to Shoreline Drive mo- torists; however, it will be challenging making left turns out of the site. Recommended land uses could include: o Mid -rise housing o Modest commercial development • Site #4: Located at the northwest quadrant of Shoreline Drive and Shadywood Road; this redevelopment area has the potential be the "gateway" into the Navarre neighbor- hood. The property is at "main and main" and benefits from higher traffic counts and excellent access and visibility from both roadways. As a result, this site could be the cor- nerstone for future redevelopment in Navarre. Collectively the site is 2.6 acres across eight parcels. Most of the existing uses are commercial, however there are two com- mercial uses located in low -density residential structures. Because of this location, this site should be the top priority for attracting redevelopment in Navarre. Recommended land uses could include: o Commercial concentration —front loaded design towards the roadways (parking in rear) o Mixed -use or multi -use development with a mid -rise housing component MAXFIELD RESEARCH AND CONSULTING, LLC 280 Mr. Eric Zweber December 19, 2017 WSB & Associates, Inc. Page 58 • Site #5. This potential redevelopment area also has Shoreline Drive frontage, however on the south side of the roadway. The site is anchored by the east parcel that contains 1.58 acres and is adjacent to the Lunds/Byerly's. The site encompasses four parcels with 6.78-acres; however, two the properties are zoned residential lake shore that could be subdivided and maintained by the current land owner. As a result, the total developable is about 5.75 acres should the lakeshore properties subdivide the property to align with the two other commercial properties. Recommended land uses could include: o Commercial development o Mid -rise housing development o Mixed -use development featuring housing and first -level commercial space • Site #6. Along Shadywood Road about one block south of the Lunds/Byerly's are two parcels that comprise 2.2 acres. Both properties have thick vegetation to the west and could be combined to create a more marketable site. Recommended land uses could include: o Stand-alone commercial building o Smaller mid -rise housing development. • Site #7. A vacant 2.6-acre site is in the far southeastern boundary of Navarre area. The property is east of Shadywood Road and south of the five -acre commercial site located directly north of the site. The site has the potential to be the gateway into Navarre for the northbound traveler on Shadywood Road. Recommended land uses could include: o Stand-alone commercial development o Mid -rise housing development o Mixed -use development— 1st floor commercial with housing MAXFIELD RESEARCH AND CONSULTING, LLC 281 Mr. Eric Zweber December 19, 2017 WSB & Associates, Inc.

Many of the proper- ties could encompass a few different land use types given their location, access, and surround- ing land uses. The recommended product types that are recommended include: • Retail: As illustrated in the earlier leakage figures, Navarre and the Lake Minnetonka area is under -retailed. Navarre has an opportunity to capture these retail sales on prop- erty either Shoreline Drive or Shadywood Road. Among all the redevelopment areas, the site at the northwest quadrant of Shoreline Drive and Shadywood Road has the greatest potential to capture commercial tenants. However, this site will likely need to attract regional or national tenants given the site acquisition and development costs at this location. These credit -worthy tenants will have the means to pay higher lease rates that will be required to support redevelopment. Other sites in Navarre are more likely to cater to "niche or boutique" retailers that may have fled other higher -rent properties in other Lake Minnetonka communities. Because the Navarre area and Orono show leakage in nearly every category of retail sales; Navarre can support more retail than what could be developed given the acreage available within redevelopment sites identified. Several of the identified sites could support retail and there would still be excess demand for retail goods and services. Re- development sites #4 and #5 will be the most attractive sites for retail tenants. MAXFIELD RESEARCH AND CONSULTING, LLC 282 Mr. Eric Zweber WSB & Associates, Inc. December 19, 2017 Page 60 • Office: An office building with a build -to -suit tenant would be an excellent land use for several of the identified sites. However, this will be predicated on the ability to secure a single tenant who will commit to a built -to -suit office structure. The multi -tenant office market continues to be very soft with high vacancies and with rents that cannot support new construction costs. The office market continues to be the soft spot in the Twin Cit- ies commercial real estate market and that is likely to continue in the short-term as companies squeeze square footages and more employees work remotely. Since the of- fice market is the weakest commercial real estate product type in the Metro Area; office space will be more challenging to develop in Navarre unless a single -tenant user seeks out new construction. • Hospitality: The Twin Cities is experiencing a major building boom in the hospitality sec- tor due to a variety of conditions: 2018 Super Bowl, future Final Four, and improved economic conditions. However, with all the new supply occupancies have peaked and the hotel market is at equilibrium. If a site had lake access a small, boutique hotel could be considered in Navarre; however, since a lake site is unavailable we do not recom- mend a hotel concept at any of the identified locations. • For -Sale Townhomes: Because townhomes require a lower density than traditional mul- tifamily housing; most of the sites would not be well -suited for townhomes. Townhome land costs are usually lower than other multifamily densities hence the financial return on townhomes would be lower than other housing types located in multi -story con- cepts. However, the site just north of the fire station would make an excellent location for for -sale housing — either a townhome, twinhome, or villa style concept. The site would be well -received for a for -sale housing concept. Based on the site acreage of about 4.6 sites; this site may be able to accommodate upwards of 35 to 45 attached townhome units. • For -Sale Condominiums: The condominium market is ripe for new development as the market was hit hard from the recession and from the lack of new construction from the state law governing condominium development. However, this past year the Minnesota Legislature recently modified the condominium state statute that is resulting in condo- minium developers looking to re-enter the market. New condo construction has fo- cused on the upper -end of the market in Downtown Wayzata and Downtown Minneap- olis. Condominiums in Orono would be well -received and would provide an excellent product for existing residents to downsize from larger lake homes for maintenance -free living. As a result, we find a condominium development would be well -received in Na- varre and would serve a niche in the marketplace. Suburban condominium development should be able to support densities of about 20 to 30 units per acre. MAXFIELD RESEARCH AND CONSULTING, LLC 283 Mr. Eric Zweber WSB & Associates, Inc. December 19, 2017 Page 61 Senior Housing: Long-term the senior housing outlook is very promising given the aging of the population and future demographic shifts. Orono and the Lake Minnetonka area has an older demographic with significant growth in the 65+ population. However, there are several service -based senior housing communities located within five miles of Navarre that would compete with a new development in Navarre. At that same time, there may be an opportunity for active -adult products such as an age -restricted rental, for -sale 55+ condominium, or senior cooperative. However, the Navarre area can likely support one active adult product in the short-term. Suburban senior housing projects are averaging about 25 units or more per acre across the Metro Area. Rental Housing: Navarre and Orono have few rental properties; the City of Orono has an 85% home ownership rate and the majority of rentals are located in single-family housing stock. The Twin Cities is experiencing a major rental housing building boom as rental housing has been a preferred asset class over the past seven years, however the majority of new construction has been located in locations closer to the core. The Na- varre area may be able to support one rental housing development; however, because of development costs a new rental concept would have high rents targeting lifestyle renters. Many of these renters could be from the 55+ demographic who want to down - size from their single-family home. Rental housing could be developed in a stand-alone building or as part of a mixed -use development with first -level commercial space. New suburban rental properties in the Metro Area vary considerably between the inner - ring communities and the outer -ring communities. Densities closer to the core are aver- aging over 50 units per acre; whereas densities in the third -tiers and beyond are averag- ing 25 to 40 units per acre. Combined with properties in the two core cities; the average density for new apartments in the entire Metro Area is 74 units per acre for all new de- velopment in 2017.

The existing intersection is unique due to the abundance of driveways, including gas stations in three of the quadrants, within close proximity of the intersection. The proposed project will improve safety and traffic L-YFt1Cf1VE 2; operations by implementing a new striping configuration on Shadywood Road (CSAH 19) to provide left-tum lanes, installing flashing yellow arrows to better facilitate left -turning movements, and eliminating channelized right -turn OROMO islands to provide traffic calming whenever feasible. The project will also include a replacement of the traffic signal system that has reached the end of its service life and an upgrade of the ADA accommodations to ensure accessibility. snag ► "^"' I o� b� QiliS \ REVENUES Budgetb .

Concerned with speed limit on old highway 12, is there a possibility of working with the city to reduce the speed as these properties develop? Discussed expected change in traffic- discussed the lower trips by empty nesters along with minimal impact at peak traffic hours. Discussed potential street lighting at intersections, exterior lighting on both the front and back of homes, would like to limit flood lights on rear of home if possible. All exterior lighting will be downlighting, lighting on the front of the homes is on photocell. Discussed the potential effects on Lake Classen, would like Lake to maintain as -is, all natural, in combination with us, the city and watershed, the water quality going into the lake will improve as it will now be treated in storm water system and ponds prior to any discharge into the lake Stated we are planning for a wetland buffer & conservation easement along the lake, this will be recorded with the plat and monitored by both the City and the HOA, the Conservation easement to preserve the heathy trees along the lake was very well received Discussed erosion control measures taken during construction to prevent any runoff into the Lake during grading, street and home construction. Reviewed proposed city approval timelines, as well as expected construction/delivery/sell out timeline. As with any neighborhood meeting the preference was for no development, but I think after the discussion, they understood that something was going to be built here and that this dingle level Villa home proposal would have minimal effect on the lake and their existing views, etc. 325 Lake Classen PROPERTY OWNERS; David and Stacey Royal 3135 Jamestown Road Long Lake, MN 55356 Gary A Larson 3085 Jamestown Road Long Lake, MN 55356 Merrill and Heidi Cole 3145 Jamestown Road Long Lake, MN 55356 Todd and Tiffany Madson 3155 Jamestown Road Long Lake, MN 55356 Raymond and Leslie Szmanda 3225 6t" Avenue North Long Lake, MN 55356 Michael and Ava Wichman 3265 6t" Avenue North Long Lake, MN 55356 Thomas and Nancy Sawyer 3405 6t" Avenue North Long Lake, MN 55356 Gail Ledstrom 23439 Midland Trail E Lewisburg, WV 24901 ANDREW L PAGE JULIE M PAGE 3050 JAMESTOWN RD LONG LAKE MN 55356 ROBERT T FAYFIELD JEANNE E HOENE 3105 COUNTY RD 6 ORONO MN 55356 RICK D ANDERSON DAVID J LIND 3220 W BDE MAKA SKA PKWY 301 MINNEAPOLIS MN 55416 WILLIAM/LAUREL MACLACHLAN 3565 SIXTH AVE N LONG LAKE MN 55356 LAKE IMOGENE LLC 200 EAGAN WOODS DR #350 EAGAN MN 55121 ASPECT DESIGN GROUP 422 2ND STREET EXCELSIOR MN 55331 KAY TOUCHETTE REVOC TRUST 510 GROVELAND AVE #304 MINNEAPOLIS MN 55403 PAUL R SANDER NATALIA N SANDER 16499 BEVERLY DRIVE EDEN PRAIRIE MN 55347 KRISTI SCHERWEIT JUSTIN PAQUETTE 3065 JAMESTOWN RD LONG LAKE MN 55356 NEIL A & STEPHANIE A RILEY 3175 JAMESTOWN RD LONG LAKE MN 55356 HENRY & NANCY BRANTINGHAM 3185 CO RD NO 6 LONG LAKE MN 55356 LUCAS & ERIKA KERANEN 3045 SIXTH AVE N LONG LAKE MN 55356 BRENT & ANGELA MCKEE 3025 SIXTH AVE N LONG LAKE MN 55356 JAMES T SWANSON 2995 JAMES TOWN RD LONG LAKE MN 55356 LAKEWEST LLC 14525 HIGHWAY 7 #265 MINNEONKA MN 55345 KATHRYN DUMAS ROBERT DUMAS 3025 WAYZATA BLVD BOX 607 LONG LAKE MN 55356 ORONO IND SCHOOL DIST NO 278 685 OLD CRYSTAL BAY RD N LONG LAKE MN 55356 326 i_` .I omr i WHITTEN ASSOCIATES, INC.

We were not able to attend last night's planning commission meeting, but we plan on attending the council meeting on November 24th. Our property would be across the lake from this development, but that is not the biggest concern. As I am sure you are already aware, the proposed development would require a zoning change on this property. We don't like the idea of changing zoning requirements to add more housing when the current zoning requirements meet the Met Council requirements. The fact that zones have changed so much in order to satisfy the Met Council requirement for more density is absurd to me. We understand this developer will do as much as they can to maintain conservation efforts to not pollute the lake, but the development and noise alone will disturb the wildlife that lives in this area. This lake is home to swans, pelicans visit in the spring and fall and it is always filled with other ducks and birds. The construction will push these birds and animals out of the area. We are empty nesters, and will not live here forever, but we want the next family who lives in our house to be able to enjoy the nature that we have enjoyed for 20 years. The proposed design of these homes to be $1-$2 million dollars would not hurt our property value, but we think adding more homes and more traffic to this area would hurt the value of Orono because people move here to have open spaces - which current zoning laws help preserve. We recognize the family that owns the land across the lake from us is able to do what they wish with the property, but if this development goes through, along with the other approved development down the road... Orono is going to start to look very different. We are opposed to rezoning this property to allow for the development of 26 homes. Thank you, Stacey & David Royal 3135 Jamestown Road Orono, MN 55356 Mobile: 312-550-8334 330 From: Chris Bollis To: Laura Oakden Subject: Fwd: proposed development on Lake Classen Date: Thursday, November 20, 2025 11:06:43 AM Sent from my iPhone Begin forwarded message: From• Date: November 16, 2025 at 8:27:05 PM CST To: christopherbollisopc@gmail.com Subject: proposed development on Lake Classen Dear Mr. Bollis; I am writing to state our opposition to changing the zoning to allow the proposed development on the south side of Lake Classen, on the north side of Wayzata Boulevard. As you are aware, the zoning for this area is for 2 acres per house, which is in keeping with the nature of the current housing around the lake. Changing the zoning of the proposed area would also require extension of the MUSA, which is (unfortunately) in the 2040 plan, but seems unnecessary, except to the Met Council. Sewers in this area run the risk of leakage and ecological havoc. The new Honey Hill development on the site of the Honey Hill farm, although regrettable, is an example of RR-1 B zoning. The six lots are between 2 and 4 acres, so what was once 1 house on approximately 18 acres has become higher density. When we purchased our house 10 or 11 years ago, we did so because of the stated low density of 1 house per 2 acres, which provides an uncrowded and relaxing feeling and because that side of the lake was undeveloped. If there had been higher density housing around the lake, we would have purchased elsewhere. If we had wanted to live in a higher density area, we would have bought a house in one of those areas, since there were plenty to choose from at that time. To change the zoning now is like breaking a contract with current residents. Lake Classen is a natural and protected lake, and is not used for water sports. Lake Classen drains into Lake Minnetonka and is part of the Minnehaha Creek watershed area --what happens in Lake Classen affects those downstream. It has a higher hydrology score (92) than all of the surrounding lakes, likely because of the lack of development around it. No matter how conscientious a developer is, the disruption of the soil by tree 331 removal, grading and all the rest will send sediment into the lake and degrade the quality. I am aware that the developer has proposed plans to avoid this issue. However, in reading the documents submitted by the developer, I see there is a request for wetland removal, including fill and drain. The proposed development site is home to a pair of nesting swans and numerous other waterfowl. The area around the lake is home to bald eagles, osprey, hawks, deer (of course) and a multitude of other animals, including snapping turtles. A high density development such as this proposed one will destroy habitat and nesting sites and change the natural environment. Development will also adversely affect the character of the Orono School District's natural area that is used for K-12 science and environmental education. Thank you for your attention, Heidi and Merrill Cole 3145 Jamestown Road 332 From: Chris Bollis To: Laura Oakden Subject: Fwd: Planning Council Meeting Comments Date: Thursday, November 20, 2025 11:06:16 AM Sent from my Whone Begin forwarded message: From• Date: November 17, 2025 at 3:52:05 PM CST To: christopherbollisopc@gmail.com Subject: Planning Council Meeting Comments Dear Mr. Bollis Here are my comments regarding the proposed development on the south shore of Lake Classen. Zoning: The area of land which the developers would like to use is zoned for rural, one family homes; two acres per house. Rezoning in 1975 resulted in the decision to cap density at one home per two acres across most of Orono's land area. This was done to protect the health of Lake Minnetonka, and in order to make sure that each home could use a septic system. The desire for each home to have its own septic system is an alternative to expanding sewer systems. Susan Lurton and her husband loved watching the wildlife from their home, which is now the land of the Lurton off leash dog park, near the proposed development. Lurton requested that her property be preserved as a park in order to stop development in the area. The development of the area near the dog park would be contrary to Lurton's wishes and the wishes of the community. Ecology: 333 Currently, Lake Classen and its ecosystem are very healthy. The DNR measures whether or not a lake is getting an appropriate amount of sediment, nutrients and water with a hydrology score. Lake Classen's hydrology score is 92. Nearby Long Lake's score is 77. Wolsfeld Lake, which is surrounded by Wolsfeld Woods SNA, has a score of 85. Lake Minnetonka —into which all three of these lakes drain —has a score of 69. Lake Classen's lake -watershed - interaction score —which is essentially the amount of water in a watershed which is allowed to flow unobstructed to its lake —is also 92. Long Lake's lake - watershed -interaction score is 77, Lake Wolsfeld's score is 85 and Lake Minnetonka's score is 60. Finally, according to the MN DNR, Lake Classen's health score is 65, in contrast to Lake Wolsfeld (55), Long Lake (40) and Lake Minnetonka (60). 1 bring up lake health because over one third of all the water which flows into Lake Minnetonka flows through Orono. All of Lake Minnetonka's water comes from its watershed. Furthermore, no other city or town bordering Lake Minnetonka has a greater share of its water area, shoreline or watershed area as Orono. Studies for the health of Lake Minnetonka conducted in the 1960s and 1970s recommended that Lakeshore density should be limited. Since Lake Classen drains into Lake Minnetonka, I believe that this recommendation should be extended to Lake Classen. Lake Minnetonka is very susceptible to pollution. This is due to many flow restrictions between bays, a single source watershed, a small watershed and only one outlet. A study in 1973 found that phosphorus pollution from runoff is 10 times higher for Lake Minnetonka than for Orono. The lower quality of Lake Minnetonka's water is in large part due to storm runoff from developed areas. The protection of Lake Minnetonka and its associated wetlands has been the highest priority of Orono management plans ever since the first management plan was published in 1974, a principle which has been reaffirmed and emphasised by each successive management plan. Lake Classen is much healthier than many other lakes which empty into Lake Minnetonka, thus making it a very valuable resource which must be protected. This water quality supports a great diversity of wildlife. For example, the area near the proposed development is used by nesting birds, including swans and geese, and muskrats, to build homes every year. Ospreys, bald eagles and snapping turtles eat animals in the lake, and the shoreline forest is habitat for racoons, opossums, red foxes, red-tailed hawks, white-tailed deer, coyotes, skunks and many other species. One of Orono's priorities is the protection of important wooded areas. The development proposal would take down many old trees near the lake shore, which would increase soil erosion. The Metropolitan Council wishes to build a new sewer pipeline near the area of the proposed development. If this sewer were to break, E. Coli could not only cause environmental collapse, but also poison the ground water used by 334 families around the lake that have wells. An influx of nutrients from a compromised sewer could lead to algal blooms which would cause mass die - offs of lake wildlife and ruin the lake's aesthetic value. Orono Plan 2040 says that Orono is committed to preserving the resources of Lake Minnetonka for the benefit of all residents. Environmental protection is of great importance to the future of Orono. Effect on community: The "Urbanization Spiral" is a phenomenon wherein the extension of urban services to a rural area raises the taxes of the land to the point that urbanization becomes inevitable. The Metropolitan Council wants to build a sewer line near the area of proposed development. If this were to happen, it would raise the property value and, therefore, taxes, for the homeowners in the area. This would raise property taxes in the area, which would force some of the homeowners to sell their undeveloped properties to developers in order to cope with the greater expenses of living in the area. Even the extension of an existing sewer line, together with landscape and spares density, would lead to increases in living expenses which can only be paid for with more density. These increases in density will lead to more runoff which will harm Lake Classen and, thus Lake Minnetonka. Thus, in the long run, the extension of sewage systems will lead to greater pollution than the initial `problem' which the extension was implemented to fix. This will also make Orono less affordable for its current residents. We have no reason to believe that the development will end with this proposed project. In fact, increased urbanisation is the rule. This is a story which has played out across many towns, and will make Orono unrecognisable. Orono —with our commitment to managing the spread of urban areas and maintaining our rural personality —is the exception. Therefore, this project is a threat to our quality of life. Who We Are: Orono has a commitment to its citizens to preserve the health of the Lake Minnetonka watershed, and all its tributary bodies of water. Orono also has a commitment to honor and not violate its zoning promises to its citizens. The people and government of Orono wish to protect our unique personality. This includes the limiting of storm runoff and lakeshore development. One of 335 Orono's core values is to maintain the current rural -urban borders permanently. The existing urban area is fixed. Urbanization should not be extended into existing rural areas. Orono has one third of Lake Minnetonka's shoreline, one third of the lake surface, one sixth of the watershed's dry land and is the largest city totally within the watershed of Lake Minnetonka. We have a duty to Lake Minnetonka, and all of its people, to protect our own ecosystems as they affect our neighboring communities. Sincerely Charles Cole 336 From: To: Laura Oakden Subject: Lake Classen project Date: Thursday, November 20, 2025 9:51:27 PM To the Orono City Council: My comments on the proposed development plan for the property on the south side of Lake Classen: First, the Al description of Orono: Orono, MN does not have a specific number for total residential acres publicly available, but its housing density is low due to its 1975 rezoning to protect environmental quality, resulting in many large, two -acre residential lots. These large lots contribute to Orono's sparse suburban feel and a rural, wooded landscape, with many properties situated on or with views of Lake Minnetonka. Low residential density: A city-wide rezoning in 1975 lowered residential densities, leading to a lower population and more spacious, rural -feeling properties. Large lot sizes: The rezoning resulted in a prevalence of large, two -acre lots, contributing to a much different lifestyle and lower public investment per household compared to other cities. Focus on land preservation: Orono's long-term development philosophy centers on protecting the water quality of Lake Minnetonka and other lakes by preserving rural land, rather than allowing growth to dictate land use policies. Character: This policy has resulted in a city with a sparse suburban feel, where most residents own their homes and live on large, wooded lots that provide a rural character. I think we all can agree with that. Orono calls itself the Lakeshore City, after all. Orono's own land use documents repeated cite the need to have rural low density housing, and notes that the delineation of urban and rural areas is fixed. (Part 3B, Page 14) Planning Commission Meeting I attended the planning commission meeting last Monday, and the concerns that I heard from the commissioners were not really related to whether this development would be a good addition to Orono, but rather concerns about the 2050 plan. Specifically these related to whether the Met Council would want to extend the MUSA line to include this little bit of land. According to staff, the Met Council does not have 337 any intention or interest in doing so, so I am not clear on why this should be a concern. It is my feeling that there should not be any guessing about what the Met Council might want to do decades in the future to decide this issue. Politics should not affect land use, and politics change. The issue of the MUSA line can be dealt with in the future, if that should come up. - Density Concerns Related to this concern, the density of this site plan, as calculated by the developer, would meet the criteria for the 2040 plan, but not the 2050 plan. Meeting the density of 3.5 per acre would require a minimum of 28 units. - MUSA and all that. This developer has stated that he would pay for half of the extension of sewer line out to this location, and the developer of the higher density project on the south side of 112 would pay for the other half. This of course might mean that this developer would have to pay for the whole thing and wait till the other developer got going, whenever that would be. As before, at this time, the Met Council has no intention or desire of extending the MUSA line to include this property. Adding the sewer line would bring this property inside the MUSA line and not only does not help to meet the 2050 density requirement, but would make it somewhat more difficult to meet that higher density requirement later. Sample calculation: Adding 8 acres (or maybe 14, depending on your calculations) would mean that an additional 28 (3.5 x 8) or 49 (3.5 x 14) units would have to be found for the 2050 plan. Perhaps not much, but it is enough in an already difficult situation. As you are aware, a higher density housing project was approved on the south side of highway 112 some years ago. I wonder if there is any likelihood that it will be built. My understanding, which could be wrong, is that the developer is required to clean up the construction landfill that lies under part of that site before starting to build and that the cost of that would now be about $8,000,000. To me, it seems less likely that the higher density housing project will be built unless the city allows him to leave the landfill untouched and build out the part of his project that does not sit on the landfill and abandon the rest. So if this project is not happening in the near term, there is no need for a sewer line to go out there. And the project on the south side of 112 is within the MUSA line. Zoning change Changing the zoning now will also require changing the 2040 comprehensive plan. This area is currently zoned RR-1 B, rural residential, 1 house per 2 acres. All the other residences on the lake are on 2+ acre lots. Having this development rezoned to have 2+ houses per acre is not in keeping with the neighborhood. In our neighborhood (Jamestown), we all have wells and used to have septic. The new Honey Hill development has 2-4 acre lots and will be on well and septic. This proposed density of housing is not similar to that in the surrounding neighborhood. When we purchased our house on Lake Classen, we did so because of the larger lots, the natural landscape, which is restful, and because it was not completely built up. We would have bought elsewhere if this lake was surrounded by houses. Changing the zoning is breaking a contract with the neighboring homeowners. 338 Orono's own land use plan also discusses the danger of the urbanization spiral (part 3B, page 3) and the unintended consequences of extending a sewer line to prevent pollution. Traffic 26 new houses will mean potentially 52 cars, a significant increase going right by the school. The developer expects that the residents will have guests, which will mean more cars yet, especially on weekends. Even if the residents go out later in the day, the absolute volume of traffic will increase. Effect on the Orono environmental learning center. This will be right across from this natural area, meant for ages K-12 science and environmental learning. New construction at that density will disrupt that part of the lake ecology, and will cause the loss of the wildlife that can be learned from. There was a remark at the Planning Commission meeting regarding the damage that the beavers have caused and how the district is not really maintaining this area. This kind of change is considered "re -landscaping" by the DNR and National Park Services, and is part of the natural site changes that occur over a protected area's lifetime. I know because I ran into this type of change up in Voyageurs National Park this summer along a hiking trail. The trail was rerouted and the beavers that were flooding the path were left alone. Desirability of these homes. This was another point brought up at the Planning Commission meeting. The target population for this development is empty nesters who have previously lived on or near Lake Minnetonka and want to continue that lifestyle in a smaller house, with an HOA taking care of grounds. Lake Classen is a natural environmental lake, and cannot be used for motorized traffic, does not have boat slips, although canoes or kayaks can be used, although none of us do because of the swans and geese. Housing around Lake Classen is not close to anything like the services, shopping, activities or upscale restaurants (except Birch's) comparable to those found in Wayzata, Minnetonka or other similar communities. Ecological Impact is significant - Lake Classen is a protected natural environment lake( Orono building code, DNR classification) There are wetlands around it, although at the PC meeting, it was stated that they are part of the lake. As such, they should be protected too. Interestingly, the developer sought wetland delineation back in 2022, which shows 4 wetlands within the project area. The wetlands around the project area are designated PEM1B and PEM1C, which means they are persistent, not part of a lake or a river, and are wet, sometimes flooded, sometimes not. There are documents submitted that for the most part have not been completed. There is one, however, that identifies impacts on the wetland of "excavate" and "fill." - Lake Classen and this property are home to many animals, including waterfowl, raptors , fish, not to mention foxes, beavers, muskrats, deer, coyotes, snapping turtles and many more. Building on the Lupient property will destroy habitat and cause loss 339 of longstanding sites for nesting, mating and raising young. - Lake Classen is part of a migration pathway. Swans, geese, a variety of ducks, pelicans, loons, songbirds and raptors pass through here. This is most evident in the spring and fall, this time of year. -- Lake Classen is part of the Minnehaha Creek watershed, and drains into Lake Minnetonka. It has the highest hydrology score of any of the surrounding lakes. Keeping this lake clean helps improve the water quality of Lake Minnetonka and the rest of the watershed. - Building on this site, no matter how conscientious the developer, will still cause silt and other run-off products to get into the lake and degrade the water quality, especially during construction. The hardcover, which is not specified to be permeable, will also accelerate runoff. - At the PC meeting, there was a brief mention of concern about septic tanks on this property, instead of sewers. A breach of the sewer line and subsequent E. coli leakage into the lake would be ecologically disastrous, not to mention that it would affect the water safety for the homeowners around the lake. Also see comments about the urbanization spiral. Additionally, there is no information about the character and composition of the land itself. In the historical document on the Lurton dog park web page, there is a reference to how rocky the land was when plowing was attempted, and how many snapping turtle eggs there were. - Light pollution will be unavoidable, as all the planned residences will have lights that automatically go on at sunset and stay on all night. This is well known to disrupt wildlife habitat, migration flights and animal behavior. It also exacerbates the lack of dark sky in this area. - Increased noise/noise pollution. Right now, the evening sounds are crickets, owls, frogs, highway12 in the distance, the occasional train and sometimes coyotes. There is no way that 26 new houses will be silent in the evening. Not even to mention the building sounds. This development is driven by the landowner, who does not care about our community Other potential buildouts A subject raised by the developer and by the Planning Commission was regarding what else could or might be built on this site. Someone raised the question of apartment houses, but that idea has a lot of problems, specifically parking, other infrastructure, distance from services, etc., zoning issues, and has already been addressed. The other alternative was building houses on two acre lots. Since there are 8 buildable acres, that would be 4 houses. Granted, these could be large, like the Southern Plantation style house going up in Honey Hill, but one would hope that they would be more in keeping with the land. Additionally, as you are aware, Orono has specific requirements for this lakeshore- -150 foot setback from the shore line, no clear cutting, lot width of 200 feet minimum and a 25% hardcover restriction. (Orono building code) I suppose someone could build a house and accessory building that had about 21,000 square feet of hardcover, which is really excessive, but the landscape is not really conducive for that. One would also hope that any builder would arrange for a conservation easement for 340 the lakeshore, as this developer is working on, to protect the shore and the wildlife. No viewing platform because of setback. No board or chip path to the lake Finally, builder and landowner waited till now to bring this up before a new council and planning commission because they felt that doing it before the previous council and planning commission would be a suicide mission.(in the PC meeting) In summary: This development does not add to the existing neighborhood, but rather lessens the natural and relaxing character that it has now and lessens the value of existing housing. It is contrary to Orono's stated land use policy of urban vs. rural zoning and protection of lakes and waters. It is an endangerment to the existing ecology, both in water quality and wildlife. It does nothing to address Orono's density requirements. A zoning change will break the implied contract that the existing homeowners have with the city to maintain the rural character of this area. Thank you for your attention, Heidi and Merrill Cole 3145 Jamestown Road 341 r Subject: Lake Classen Development Meeting Comments Date: Thursday, November 20, 2025 11:50:52 PM Hello Ms. Oakden Here are my comments on the proposed development on the southern shore of Lake Classen. The following is a list of my reasons for my opposition to the creation of the proposed development on the south side of Lake Classen. Zoning: The area of land which the developers would like to use is zoned for rural, one family homes; two acres per house. Rezoning in 1975 resulted in the decision to cap density at one home per two acres across most of Orono's land area. This was done to protect the health of Lake Minnetonka, and in order to make sure that each home could use a septic system. The desire for each home to have its own septic system is an alternative to expanding sewer systems. Susan Lurton and her husband loved watching the wildlife from their home, which is now the land of the Lurton off leash dog park, near the proposed development. Lurton requested that her property be preserved as a park in order to stop development in the area. The development of the area near the dog park would be contrary to Lurton's wishes and the wishes of the community. Ecology: Currently, Lake Classen and its ecosystem are very healthy on several counts, especially for the area. The MN DNR has a number of scores for judging the health of lakes in Minnesota, each on a scale of 0 to 100 between the healthiest and least healthy lakes in the state. According to the MN DNR, Lake Classen has a lake health score of 65. Nearby Long Lake's lake health score is 40. Wolsfeld Lake, which is surrounded by Wolsfeld Woods SNA, has a lake health score of only 55. Lake Minnetonka —into which all three of these lakes drain —has a score of 60. The lake health score is not only a measure of how healthy a lake currently is, but the risks that threaten a lake. Thus, we can conclude that not only is Lake Classen more healthy than many other lakes in the area, but currently has a very stable watershed, which ensures the lake's continued vitality. One of the components of the lake health calculation is the hydrology score. The DNR uses the hydrology score to measure whether or not a lake is getting an appropriate amount of sediment, nutrients and 342 water. Different lakes need different proportions of nutrients, water and sediment, and fluctuations in how much of these a lake gets can have huge impacts on its health and ecology. Lake Classen's hydrology score is 92, well above the average score of 63 for the major watershed. Long Lake's hydrology score is 77, Lake Wolsfeld's score is 69. Lake Classen's lake -watershed -interaction score —which is essentially the amount of water in a watershed which is allowed to flow unobstructed to its lake —is 92. Long Lake's lake - watershed -interaction score is 77, Lake Wolsfeld's score is 85 and Lake Minnetonka's score is 60. The DNR also gave Lake Classen a letter grade of B when compared to the overall range in health conditions in lakes around Minnesota. Long Lake, Wolsfeld Lake and Lake Minnetonka, on the other hand, were given grades of D+, C+ and C+ respectively. According to the MN DNR, on its Lake Search page "A healthy lake is one that is near its natural state. It has low levels of pollution and has a natural shoreline that protects the bank and filters runoff." The Lake Search page also says that "A healthy lake can withstand changing conditions and seasonal fluctuations." The page also emphasises that a healthy lake has a community surrounding it which values the resources given by the lake and prioritises the protection and restoration of the lake and the watershed that sustains it. The page also states that lake health reflects on the intensity of use of the surrounding land, and says that urban (among other) uses introduces substances which can negatively impact the health of a nearby lake. (Minnesota Department of Natural Resources). This water quality supports a great diversity of wildlife. For example, the area near the proposed development is used by nesting birds, including swans and geese, and muskrats, to build homes every year. Ospreys, bald eagles, common loons, snapping turtles and even double-breasted cormorants eat animals in the lake, and the shoreline forest is habitat for racoons, opossums, red foxes, red-tailed hawks, white-tailed deer, coyotes, skunks and many other species. One of Orono's priorities is the protection of important wooded areas. The development proposal would take down many old trees near the lake shore, including downed trees, which would increase soil erosion and habitat loss, and thus disrupt the flow of nutrients into the lake. Lake Classen has a population of beavers who rely on trees near the shore. Barred owls also use the standing dead trees as nesting sites. Lake Classen is also a significant migratory pathway for many aquatic bird species, including buffleheads, common goldeneyes, white pelicans and herring gulls. Another threat posed by the proposed development is light pollution. Light pollution is known to disrupt the migratory paths of birds, which would have a noticeable effect on the lake's ecosystem. The lighting would also make the area an unsatisfactory habitat for bats. Light pollution has also been implicated in the decline of insect populations, since it may cause them to circle illuminated areas until they die of exhaustion (How Light Pollution Impacts Wildlife & How You Can Help). The lights also disrupt insects' navigation and reproductive behavior, as well as exposing them to greater predation (I Didn't Know That!: Light Pollution). Artificial lights also disrupt the mating behaviors of amphibians. All of these and other disruptions to the lives of wildlife cause cascading effects which can completely alter 343 an ecosystem (Croaking Science: Artificial light at night- a problem for amphibians?). The Metropolitan Council does not wish to build a new sewer pipeline near the area of the proposed development at this point. If, however, this high density development was built, the sewer line would have to be extended. If this sewer were to break, E. Coli could not only cause an environmental collapse in and around Lake Classen, but also poison the ground water used by families around the lake that have wells. An influx of nutrients from a compromised sewer could lead to algal blooms which would cause mass die -offs of lake wildlife and ruin the lake's aesthetic value. Large mats of algae block the sun from illuminating submerged plants, preventing them from carrying out photosynthesis. Once the algae dies, it is decomposed by bacteria. The digestive process used by the bacteria is powered by oxygen, which the bacteria will deplete in the process of consuming the dead algae (Phosphorus and Water). Orono Plan 2040 says that Orono is committed to preserving the resources of Lake Minnetonka for the benefit of all residents. If a lake declines in health, it takes a great deal of time and money to restore the lake back to health. However, protecting a lake which is already healthy is much easier. (2040 Community Management Plan). I bring up the health of Lake Classen because over one third of all the water which flows into Lake Minnetonka flows through Orono. All of Lake Minnetonka's water comes from its watershed, so it is important that we protect any sources of water which flow into it. Furthermore, no other city or town bordering Lake Minnetonka has a greater share of its water area, shoreline or watershed area as Orono. Studies for the health of Lake Minnetonka conducted in the 1960s and 1970s recommended that lakeshore density should be limited. Since Lake Classen drains into Lake Minnetonka, I believe that this recommendation should be extended to Lake Classen. Lake Minnetonka is very susceptible to pollution. This is due to many flow restrictions between bays, a single source watershed, a small watershed and only one outlet. A study in 1973 found that phosphorus pollution from runoff is 10 times higher for Lake Minnetonka than for Orono. The lower quality of Lake Minnetonka's water is in large part due to storm runoff from developed areas. The protection of Lake Minnetonka and its associated wetlands has been the highest priority of Orono management plans ever since the first management plan was published in 1974, a principle which has been reaffirmed and emphasised by each successive management plan. Lake Classen's levels of phosphorus are much lower than the mean level for the surrounding watershed and well below Lake Minnetonka. Lake Classen is much healthier than many other lakes which empty into Lake Minnetonka, thus making it a very valuable resource which must be protected (2040 Community Management Plan). The DNR page on watershed health also notes that just because a lake is healthy does not guarantee the continuation of its health in the future. Climate change, alteration of Lake Classen's surrounding watershed and changes in current activities near the lake could change many things about the lake. Thus, especially in the coming decades of uncertainty, we must go out of our way to reduce any factor which could negatively affect Lake Classen in the future (2040 Community Management Plan). 344 Effect on community: The "Urbanization Spiral" is a phenomenon wherein the extension of urban services to a rural area raises the taxes of the land to the point that urbanization becomes inevitable. If the existing sewer line were extended to serve this development, it would raise the property value and, therefore, taxes, for the homeowners in the area. This would raise property taxes in the area, which would force some of the homeowners to sell their undeveloped properties to developers in order to cope with the greater expenses of living in the area. Even the extension of an existing sewer line, together with landscape and spares density, would lead to increases in living expenses which can only be paid for with more density. These increases in density will lead to more runoff which will harm Lake Classen and, thus Lake Minnetonka. Thus, in the long run, the extension of sewage systems will lead to greater pollution than the initial `problem' which the extension was implemented to fix.

Studies for the health of Lake Minnetonka conducted in the 1960s and 1970s recommended that lakeshore density should be limited. Since Lake Classen drains into Lake Minnetonka, I believe that this recommendation should be extended to Lake Classen. Lake Minnetonka is very susceptible to pollution. This is due to many flow restrictions between bays, a single source watershed, a small watershed and only one outlet. A study in 1973 found that phosphorus pollution from runoff is 10 times higher for Lake Minnetonka than for Orono. The lower quality of Lake Minnetonka's water is in large part due to storm runoff from developed areas. The protection of Lake Minnetonka and its associated wetlands has been the highest priority of Orono management plans ever since the first management plan was published in 1974, a principle which has been reaffirmed and emphasised by each successive management plan. Lake Classen's levels of phosphorus are much lower than the mean level for the surrounding watershed and well below Lake Minnetonka. Lake Classen is much healthier than many other lakes which empty into Lake Minnetonka, thus making it a very valuable resource which must be protected (2040 Community Management Plan). The DNR page on watershed health also notes that just because a lake is healthy does not guarantee the continuation of its health in the future. Climate change, alteration of Lake Classen's surrounding watershed and changes in current activities near the lake could change many things about the lake. Thus, especially in the coming decades of uncertainty, we must go out of our way to reduce any factor which could negatively affect Lake Classen in the future (2040 Community Management Plan). Effect on community: 349 The "Urbanization Spiral" is a phenomenon wherein the extension of urban services to a rural area raises the taxes of the land to the point that urbanization becomes inevitable. If the existing sewer line were extended to serve this development, it would raise the property value and, therefore, taxes, for the homeowners in the area. This would raise property taxes in the area, which would force some of the homeowners to sell their undeveloped properties to developers in order to cope with the greater expenses of living in the area. Even the extension of an existing sewer line, together with landscape and spares density, would lead to increases in living expenses which can only be paid for with more density. These increases in density will lead to more runoff which will harm Lake Classen and, thus Lake Minnetonka. Thus, in the long run, the extension of sewage systems will lead to greater pollution than the initial `problem' which the extension was implemented to fix. This will also make Orono less affordable for its current residents. We have no reason to believe that the development will end with this proposed project. In fact, increased urbanisation is the rule. This is a story which has played out across many towns, and will make Orono unrecognisable. Orono —with our commitment to managing the spread of urban areas and maintaining our rural personality —is the exception. Therefore, this project is a threat to our quality of life. • Who We Are: Orono has a commitment to its citizens to preserve the health of the Lake Classen, Lake Minnetonka watershed, and all its tributary bodies of water. Orono also has a commitment to honor and not violate its zoning promises to its citizens. The people and government of Orono wish to protect our unique personality. This includes the limiting of storm runoff and lakeshore development. One of Orono's core values is to maintain the current rural -urban borders permanently. The existing urban area is fixed. Urbanization should not be extended into existing rural areas. Orono has one third of Lake Minnetonka's shoreline, one third of the lake surface, one sixth of the watershed's dry land and is the largest city totally within the watershed of Lake Minnetonka. We have a duty to Lake Minnetonka, and all of its people, to protect our own ecosystems as they affect our neighboring communities. "Watershed Health Assessment Framework: Lakes."

Maintaining the current zoning is essential to protecting one of the district's most valuable educational and ecological assets. The ELC is used by students from kindergarten through high school as an outdoor classroom —one of the few places where learners can observe natural systems in an undisturbed state. The location directly across from this site plays an important role in preserving the character and function of the surrounding habitat. Increasing development intensity in such close proximity would introduce noise, activity, and landscape alterations that could degrade the broader ecosystem the ELC depends on. Preserving the current zoning ensures that the ELC remains a functional, vibrant space for environmental education. It protects the continuity of the habitat, safeguards access to meaningful outdoor learning experiences, and upholds the community's long-standing commitment to valuing natural resources. For these reasons, I strongly encourage the Commission to maintain the existing zoning and prioritize the long-term educational and ecological benefits this area provides. Thank you for your consideration.

Background: The City of Orono regulates retaining walls within required yard areas as "permitted encroachments", and within the lakeshore setback and bluff areas within the Shoreland Overlay District by administrative or conditional use permit. Earlier this summer, the City Council directed staff to clarify the conditional use permit standards for retaining walls in bluff areas and within the lakeshore setback. During the review of the City Code staff identified additional areas requiring clarification for retaining wall allowances within Section 6.12.6940, Permitted Encroachments pertaining to retaining walls throughout the city. The City Council reviewed the draft language at the November 10, 2025 Council Meeting (Video). Councilmembers discussed the scope of the replacement plantings plan and the new standards for native planting in disturbed areas. Council directed staff to bring the Ordinance back for review with examples of native plantings for their consideration. 3. Planning Commission Vote and Comment: The Planning Commission reviewed the proposed text amendment at the October 20, 2025 Planning Commission Meeting. A public hearing was held; no comments from the public were made. (Packet Item, Video) The Planning Commission reviewed the proposed changes and generally supported the text amendment. The Commission discussed the proposed landscaping replacement regulations. As proposed, vegetative landscaping requirements would be triggered for all areas disturbed or impacted by the construction of the walls. The new language specifies that impacted areas would be required to be revegetated with deep-rooted native plants. This standard could prohibit installing replacement sod or lawn grass in the construction areas around retaining walls. The Commission noted that the replacement landscaping requirement for retaining walls in the lakeshore setback seemed excessive and may prove to be a difficult or unreasonable standard for homeowners to meet. The Commission suggested that the code should require a site plan to identify the disrupted area and keep the disturbance to the minimum necessary. The Commission also discussed the proposed requirement for replacement plantings to be native, deep-rooted plants and suggested the following alternative language calling for the replacement plantings to be "the same or similar plant materials to address erosion, including native plantings". 368 The Planning Commission made a motion to approve the text amendment with revisions to the language for replacement landscaping, vote 6-1 (Bollis). 4. Public Comment: No comments from the public have been received. The MN DNR reviewed the proposed changes and provided comments. The comments from the DNR were merged into the proposed draft language for the Planning Commission's review. The Conditional Approval letter from the DNR, including their suggested language, is attached as Exhibit D. Staff Recommendation: Review the draft Text Amendment and Planning Commission's direction regarding replacement landscaping areas. The Council should provide direction to staff regarding replacement landscaping requirements for retaining wall projects within the lakeshore setback. COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED If the Council supports the proposed language; Council should make a MOTION to approve the ordinance with the summary ordinance publication as presented. Exhibits A.

STEP 1: Mow your lawn very short-1 inch or less to improve seed to soil contact. Rake or remove grass clippings to expose as much soil as possible. STEP 2 (Optional): Aerating the lawn is recommended. It can be done with a hand aerator or machine and helps create good conditions for seed germination and healthy growth. STEP 3: Spread seed at appropriate seeding rates: • White clover at 1.1 ounces (2 1/2 tablespoons) / 1000 sq. ft. • Self heal at 1.2 ounces (2 1/2 tablespoons) / 1000 sq. ft. • (Optional) Fine fescue at 4 Ibs / 1000 sq. ft. You can mix the small amounts of seed into compost and apply. Compost can be applied up to 40 Ibs / 50 ft2 of lawn. It improves seed -to -soil contact and germination rates. STEP 4: If you mow, keep it at least 3" tall. You can choose to not mow while flowers are blooming to increase the amount of forage available for pollinators. aw, 404 DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES 1200 Warner Road St. Paul, MN 55106 10/02/2025 Laura Oakden Community Development Director City of Orono 2750 Kelley Parkway, Orono, MN 55356 Re: Conditional Approval of City of Orono Shoreland Ordinance Amendment Dear Laura Oakden: Thank you for sending your proposed shoreland ordinance amendment to the DNR for conditional approval review.

ROLL CALL Orono Planning Commission members present: Chair Chris Bollis, Commissioners Jon Ressler, Thomas Brandabur, Andrew Jarnot, Kelly Prchal, Sam Tift, and Shane Weltzin. Absent: None. Staff present: Community Development Director Laura Oakden, City Planner Melanie Curtis, and City Planner Matthew Karney. 5.5. LA25-000039, A TEXT AMENDMENTS REGARDING RETAINING WALLS The Planning Commission is requested to review the Staff report, receive a presentation, and discuss and approve the text amendments clarifying requirements for retaining walls. The Planning Commission discussed the item and asked questions of staff. Commissioners asked about the requirements for landscaping plans in the amendments and expressed reservations about making the requirements too complicated. They asked for clarification on restoration of areas that are disturbed during the construction of a wall and the types of vegetation allowed, and suggested revisions to sections dealing with restoration plantings and wall screening plantings. Weltzin moved, Prchal seconded, to approve LA25-000039, Text Amendments Regarding Retaining Walls with recommended language revisions regarding landscaping. VOTE: Ayes 6, Nays 1 (Bollis). Page 1 of 1 427 Summary of Landscaping Standards The proposed language (below) outlines new standards for retaining walls within the 75 foot Lakeshore setback for CUP -required retaining wall projects. Currently proposed language under the lakeyard CUP conditions: A landscape plan is required to identify vegetative removals in the location of the new and/or replacement walls to ensure removals are limited to the minimum necessary to support the installation of the walls, subject to Sec. 6.12.6300. Replacement plantings must consist of deep rooted, native vegetation to provide necessary support for the slope. Planning Commission Comments and Suggestions: • The Planning Commission disagreed with requiring replacement of landscaping for the entire project area. The Commission felt that would be a burden on property owners. The Commission also felt that the city's ability to enforce the specific landscaping to remain in place once the project was completed would be limited. • The Commission was supportive of requiring vegetative screening of the walls and noted it is important for the screening requirement to be separate from the landscaping replacement standard. • Some Commissioners were okay with requiring native plantings but felt that the "deep rooted" condition was too specific or excessive. • Commissioners discussed using the language "in -kind" to allow owners to maintain sod/lawn in the disturbed areas. The Commission suggested the following alternative language: A site plan is required to verify vegetation replacement, in the disturbed soil areas of the project. Replacement vegetation should be similar in nature to the removed vegetation and should include native plants to address erosion. 428 AGENDA ITEM Date: November 24, 2025 Title: Agreements - Collective Bargaining for Local 12 and Local 49 Presenter: Adam Edwards, City Administrator / Engineer Section: City Administrator/Engineer Report Item: 17 Purpose: The purpose of this item is to approve the Collective Bargaining agreements with Local 12 and Local 49. 2.

Minnesota Statute § 356.24, Subd. 1(10) expressly authorizes the Employer to contribute public funds to the Central Pension Fund as a supplemental pension plan for the employees of a governmental subdivision who are covered by a collective bargaining agreement that provides for such coverage. 2. Sections 4.1 of the Restated Agreement and Declaration of Trust of the Central Pension Fund and 13.01 of the Plan of Benefits only permits Employer Contributions to the Fund. 3. The Parties agree that the agreed upon Employer contribution amount that would otherwise be paid in salary or wages will be contributed instead to the CPF as a pre-tax Employer contribution. Contributions from the Employer will not be funded from any other source unless agreed upon by the parties. 4. The hourly contribution rate will be applied to every hour compensated (i.e. hours worked, vacation, holiday and sick time) except for overtime hours worked. The Employer shall remit this contribution directly to the Central Pension Fund at 4115 Chesapeake Street N.W., Washington D.C. 20016. 5. A contribution of $1.00 per straight time hour worked prevents annual Central Pension Fund contributions on behalf of eligible Employees from exceeding $5,000.00 in a year and therefore complies with the limitations set forth under Minnesota Statute, §356.24, Subd. 1(10) as amended. 6. For purposes of determining future wage rates, the Employer shall first restore the amount of the Employer Contribution, which is currently the CPF contribution rate of $1.00 per hour, then apply the applicable wage multiplier, then reduce the revised wage by the Central Pension Fund contribution rate. 7. For purposes of calculating overtime compensation, the Employer shall first restore the amount of the Employer Contribution $1.00 then apply the applicable 1.5 wage multiplier required under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) and the Collective Bargaining Agreement, then pay the resulting amount for overtime worked. 8. The Parties agree that the Public Employees Retirement Association (PERA) interprets Employer contributions to the Central Pension Fund as being included in determining "salary" for the purposes of the public pension. 9. The parties agree to abide by the terms and conditions of the Restated Agreement and Declaration of Trust and the Plan of Benefits of the Central Pension Fund. 10. Effective January 21, 2022 the contribution rate equals $1.00 per straight time hour worked. 11. Members, by majority vote, may change the contribution rate at any time during the life of the Collective Bargaining Agreement. The Union and Employer will work together to implement member approved changes as soon as is practicable. 17 467 APPENDIX C Safety Boot Accessory List The following accessories are authorized for reimbursement with Safety Boots.
