In addition, Orono's share of the . cost of a new full-time fire chief position to lead the Long Lake Fire Department has been included in the 2008 budget. White noted two-thirds of the City's budget comes from the taxes paid by the residents, with the remaining one-third coming from various fines and fees collected by the City. White stated the City has attempted to limit the number of City personnel it employs in an effort to minimize its costs. Mayor White closed the public hearing at 7:13 p.m. Murphy noted he was not in attendance at the truth in taxation hearing and concurred that it is helpful to review the basic strategies that go into developing the City's budget. Murphy noted in the last four years the Council has reduced the number of city staff by two positions. a.

McMillan stated Dave Thill, Hennepin County Environmental Department, has done a natural resources inventory for a number of cities in the metropolitan area and that he would like to present his findings on Orono to the City. Corridors for wildlife and mapping of the area have been completed . McMillan recommended he address the Council during a work session. Murphy stated the City's recommendations on the roundabout near Wayzata Boulevard are receiving a negative review at the State and that they will be discussing it on December 21 . Murphy stated he has some safety concerns regarding MnDOT's design but at the present time the likelihood Orono's plan will be approved is not very good. White noted on Friday, December 14, he would be meeting with Staff at the Navarre Fire Station with representatives of Tonka Bay, Shorewood and Orono to discuss trail improvements along County Road 19 and that they are looking at submitting a funding application to Hennepin County for the project. Moorse recommended the Council direct staff to draft a resolution in support of the project.

MINUTES OF THE ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING Tuesday, November 13, 2007 7:00 o'clock p.m. 6. #07-3323 STRUC'IJ JRES UNLIMITED ON BEHALF OF JUDSON AND ALEYA CHAMPLIN, 210 BIG ISLAND -VARIAN CE -RESOLUTION NO. 5687 Ross Langhans, Structures Unlimited, was present. Bremer indicated she would recuse herself from this application because she personally lmows Aleya Champlin . Rahn asked how the retaining wall has gone from 48 inches, as reflected in the minutes and the planner's report, to seven feet in some places. Langhans explained the retaining wall is required due to the septic work and that there is a portion where the wall may be seven feet high. Langhans indicated the wall has to be engineered and that they are confident that the wall would be of quality construction: · Rahn stated normally the city engineer determines whether the wall is necessary. Langhans stated to his understanding there is no standard limiting him to the 48 inches and that it is also . his underst anding there is a special condition regarding retaining walls for Big Island. Langhans . indicated the retaining wall became necessary due to the work on the septic system. Langhans indicated :he did attempt to change the grade in that area to comply with the 48 inches but that it would require the removal of a large number of trees . Murphy noted the last page in the Council packet shows the area that Mr. Langhans has discussed and that it appears the wall would be constructed up to the existing grade. Murphy recommended that the wall be high enough that the water not run over the wall and into the septic system or the comer of the house: Langhans stated it is their intent to construct the wall up to the existing grade. A tiered wall was considered but would need to be dismantled if the septic tank ever had to be removed. Rahn inquired whether the city engineer has reviewed whether this retaining wall is necessary at the proposed height. Langhans stated in his view the design of the septic system was not a good design and did not take into account the contours of the grade, which has resulted in the need for the retaining wall. · Murphy asked whether there is going to be any runoff that will go toward the comer of the house with or without the retaining wall. Turner displayed the original plan that was proposed and explained that the reason the retaining wall needs to extend past the house is that a swale has to be constructed as well as a tree removed to handle the runoff. McMillan asked whether the swale has been completed. Langhans indicated the swale has been constructed and that the only thing that remains to be done is construction of the retaining wall. PAGE 7 of 14 MINUTES OF THE ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING Tuesday, November 13, 2007 7:00 o'clock p.m. (6. #07-3323 STRUCTURES UNLIMITED ON BEHALF OF JUDSON AND ALEYA CHAMPLIN, 210 BIG ISLAND, Continued) Murphy asked if Staff is confident that the runoff will go to the lake and not go through the corner of the house. Turner stated Bonestroo has reviewed the plan and has indicated the end portion of the retaining wall is necessary as well as the swale to help divert the water away from the house. Kellogg stated in terms of the wall, 48 inches is the point at which engineering is required. Kellogg indicated a representative from his office unfortunately was not able to visit this site personally but that - from the pictures, it appears the wall is required and that the only restriction they would require is that no soil be placed on top of the slope. With regard to the runoff going towards the corner of the house, the existing building is shown to be at 941.9 ', and at the side of the house nearest the wall where the expansion would occur, two feet would be cut out, which would bring it to 940' and should eliminate any runoff to the corner. Kellogg indicated he is comfortable that the water would not run into the house with that change in elevation. White noted this is an intensification of the use of an existing lot and that it is difficult for the City to provide adequate fire and police protection to this area. White commented it is likely that these lots on Big Island would continue to be improved and that the residents on Big Island need to be aware of the risks they are assuming. McMillan stated in hindsight it would have been nice to have looked at different options for the septic system. Langhans stated in his view it was an inadequate design for the septic system and that the homeowner proceeded with the plan he was given when he purchased the lot and was not aware there were better options that could have been pursued. McMillan inquired whether the city reviews septic system designs. Curtis indicated the plan would have been reviewed by the city's septic inspector. Typically a survey is provided along with the septic system design but that the city's septic inspector more than likely did not do a physical inspection of the lot. · Gaffron commented it would be prudent to do a physical inspection of a lot prior to approving the septic system plan but that future planning of the lot typically is not taken into consideration at the time septic system permits are approved. Rahn moved, Murphy seconded, to adopt RESOLUTION NO. 5687, a Resolution Granting Variances for the Property Located at 210 Big Island. Murphy recommended the City devote some time at the Council work sessions to the future development of Big Island. VOTE: Ayes 5, Nays 0.

VOTE: Ayes 5, Nays 0. 6. #07-3323 STRUCTURES UNLIMITED ON BEHALF OF JUDSON AND ALEYA 9 CHAMPLIN, 210 BIG ISLAND -VARIANCES Ross Langhans , Structures Unlimited, and Judson and Aleya Champlin, Applicants , were present. Turner stated the applicants are requesting lakeshore setback and hardcover variances to construct an addition to the rear of the existing seasonal dwelling as well as add a second story to it. A foundation type variance is requested to allow the addition to be constructed on post footings rather than a perimeter foundation. The retaining wall portion of this application was approved by Council on November 13 , 2007. This portion of the application was delayed because the applicants were out of the country and they wished to be present when this portion of the application was heard by the Council. At their October meeting, the Planning Commission voted 6 to O to recommend approval of the variances subject to the pitch of the roof being reduced to .10: 12 and a landscaping plan for screening being submitted for Staff review prior to the City Council meeting. Rather than reduce the roof height, the applicant has reduced the height of the side walls ten inches . This is the same amount the reduction in roof pitch would have reduced the peak height. The applicant also increased the roof overhang to two feet, which lowered the height of the eave line slightly. PAGE 11 of 32 MINUTES OF THE ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING Monday, November 26, 2007 7:00 o'clock p.m. (#07-3323 Structures Unlimited On Behalf of Judson and Aleya, Continued) The applicant has revised the grading plan to add rain gardens to catch roof drainage. Shrubs are proposed along the front of the cabin. Staff thought it best to not submit the revised grading plan to the City Engineer for review or ask for a detailed planting plan until direction had been received from Council regarding the variances. Staff is concerned that the Planning Commission did not understand what the impact of the reduction in roof pitch would be. In Staffs opinion, this change is minimal and barely noticeable. To achieve a significant reduction in roof mass, additional changes to the roof, such as eliminating dormers, further reducing the height of the sidewalls or decreasing roof pitch, would need to be done. Staff had recommended two additional conditions that the Planning Commission did not clearly address. One, the exterior of the structure (including the roof) is made darker earth tones with the crawl space enclosed in the same color materials as the upper portion of the structure. Two, the lakeshore buffer for 75 percent of the shoreline. The applicant is willing to accept the first condition. The second condition was not specifically discussed. Given the length of the shoreline, Staff thought some lakeshore buffer would be appropriate, perhaps along the back of the lagoon at the base of the slope and on the side of the lagoon away from the house. Murphy asked whether the second picture does not include the lowering of the side walls or extending the eave. Langhans stated the picture does include those revisions. Bremer stated she would be recuzing herself from this application because she is personally familiar with Aleya Champlin. Langhans stated the picture is a rendered drawing and is the proposed building as depicted in the blueprints before the Council. The rendering actually makes the building appear larger than what it really will be in actuality. The scale of the second drawing is slightly larger than actual but it does depict the structure with more earth tones. PAGE 12 of 32 MINUTES OF THE ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING Monday, November 26, 2007 7:00 o'clock p.m. (#07-3323 Structures Unlimited On Behalf of Judson and Aleya, Continued) Langhans indicated the foundation variance is really a moot point and the issue is the lakeshore setback and hardcover variances. The height of the original structure did not require a variance but they have reduced the height of the structure. The structure is a story and a half, the floor trusses are 18 inches, with a two and a half foot knee wall at the short point, and four feet in, the ceiling height is 5 '/11 ", which gives them some livable space in that area. Langhans pointed out that the more the pitch of the roof is dropped, the less living space that is available. Murphy stated he is in agreement with the idea of dropping the knee walls and extending the eaves. Rahn asked what they are doing with the foundation and whether the foundation would be replaced. Langhans stated the existing footings were two feet deep and were replaced this past summer. Rahn asked if this is a project that is slowly evolving or whether they have always envisioned this type of project from the start. Rahn stated the methodology of the project seems backwards. Langhans stated the design of the house before the Council is utilizing the existing footing type and foundation type. Rahn asked if all the footings would be replaced. Langhans indicated they would be but that they are pier footings. Rahn commented in his view the foundation is basically being replaced. Rahn asked if the first floor cap would be saved. Langhans stated there are concrete piers in the ground, which a large number have been replaced. The exterior first floor walls will stay, with the interior walls being removed. PAGE 13 of 32 MINUTES OF THE ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING Monday, November 26, 2007 7:00 o'clock p.m. (#07-3323 Structures Unlimited On Behalf of Judson and Aleya, Continued) Rahn stated in his view the applicants are taking a 600 square foot cabin and they are adding on two and a half times the square footage and that it is becoming a rebuild versus new construction issue. Rahn noted the structure is also located in the 0-75 foot zone. Langhans stated they have already replaced some of the beams as part of the repair work that was completed this summer. Rahn noted the square footage has more than doubled in an area where there is not supposed to be any hardcover. Rahn commented the whole process seems rather convoluted and that the more logical approach would have been to put a basement in rather than add a story. Langhans stated to add a basement would have required bringing a concrete truck out on a barge and that they are attempting to work with what exists and what is the most economical. Langhans pointed out the ten feet in the back is basically required to have the staircase and that from a design standpoint they extended that area out across the entire back of the house. Langhans noted the increase in hardcover is less than one half of one percent. The applicants would like to improve what exists and they are willing to add a wetland buffer. Turner noted the septic system had to be replaced by the end of this year. McMillan asked ifthere is enough room for the water to get around the comer of the structure. Turner stated the City Engineer has reviewed that and has determined that a swale is required to get the drainage to go around the house. McMillan asked what the distance is from the edge of the addition to the retaining wall. Langhans stated it is approximately four to five feet. Murphy noted at the last meeting that issue was discussed in depth and that to his recollection it meets engineering standards. PAGE 14 of 32 MINUTES OF THE ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING Monday, November 26, 2007 7:00 o'clock p.m. (#07-3323 Structures Unlimited On Behalf of Judson and Aleya, Continued) McMillan commented the size of the addition is up for discussion. Champlin stated he grew up in a cabin and he would like his kids to be able to experience living in a cabin. Champlin stated he knew the existing cabin had a number of issues that would have to be addressed, with the building basically deteriorating and needing replacement. The septic was faihng and required immediate replacement, which resulted in the removal of a large number of trees. Champlin indicated that rather than removing even further trees, they looked at designing something in the present location and yet provide some additional room for their family. White asked if the City has a massing regulation for the 0-75 foot zone. White noted they are under the structural coverage limit on the lot. Gaffron stated the ordinance limits ~tructures in the 0-75 foot zone and that whatever has been granted in the past is outside what is currently allowed by the Code. McMillan commented typically the Council attempts to limit the amount of hardcover to a bare minimum in the 0-7 5 foot zone and typically does not allow an increase in the hardcover in that zone. Murphy stated page three of five in the Planner's Report shows that the existing building consists of 1,175 square feet or whether that includes the shed and some other small structures. Turner stated that number includes the shed and the deck. The actual living space is 702 square feet. The shed is close to 90 square feet. The difference between the actual and the proposed is the addition to the structure, which consists of 260 square feet. The shed would be relocated out of the 0-75 foot zone. Murphy stated the hardcover in the 75-250 foot zone is not an issue. Rahn stated the only issue is basically the close proximity to the lake. McMillan stated the applicants could rebuild what is there. PAGE 15 of 32 MINUTES OF THE ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING Monday, November 26, 2007 7:00 o'clock p.m. (#07-3323 Structures Unlimited On Behalf of Judson and Aleya, Continued) Murphy stated in his view the structure is attractive. Murphy asked what color the decks would .be. Langhans stated it is natural cedar and would be stained. White recommended the accent lighting on the exterior of the structure be limited. Champlin stated he would be agreeable to limiting the exterior lighting. Murphy moved, McMillan seconded, to direct Staff to draft a resolution approving lakeshore_ setback and hardcover variances to construct an addition to the rear of the existing seasonal dwelling as well as add a second story, subject to the recommendations of Staff outlined in the ·.· November 26, 2007 Planner's Report. McMillan asked what the wetland buffer would be. Turner stated Staff would look at what is the most appropriate for this site and what currently exists.

Staff feels appropriate language can be drafted to meet the recommendations of the city engineer. Kroeger stated the compromise would be five feet closer to the road, 15 feet further away from the wetland buffer, and a narrower structure. Kroeger whether Staff has incorporated any of the provisions of the wetland ordinance. Curtis stated as of the drafting of the Planner's Report, John Smyth had not yet reviewed the property and that prior to the City Council meeting, Staff would work with the City Engineer and have something in place concerning that. Chair Kempf opened the public hearing at 7:20 p.m. There were no public comments regarding this application. Chair Kempf closed the public hearing at 7:20 p.m. Kroeger moved, Schwingler seconded, to recommend approval of Application #07-3322, Robert and Jordana Williams, 845 Willow Drive South, subject to the incorporation of the city engineer's recommendations and subject to combining the two lots.

Ross Langhans with Structures Unlimited, Inc ., was present. Turner stated the applicant is requesting lakeshore setback and hardcover variances to construct an addition to the rear of the existing seasonal swelling as well as add a second story to it. A foundation type variance is requested to allow the addition to be constructed on post footings rather than a perimeter foundation. Retaining wall height, location, and hardcover variances are also requested . The existing seasonal dwelling on the property was constructed in 1968 . It is a 702 square foot cabin on a post foundation with a 312 square foot lakeside deck. At the lake side the floor is about seven feet above grade. At the rear the floor is roughly at grade. The crawl space under the cabin is enclosed. The entire structure is within the 75-foot setback. The deck is 35 feet from the lake at one comer and 33.8 feet at the other. The dwelling is legal non-conforming. State statutes would allow the cabin to be totally reconstructed in its current form with a perimeter foundation or a post foundation. A variance would be required to convert the crawl space to living space between it would be an expansion of the use and the cabin would need to be raised several feet to provide adequate ceiling height. A septic system has recently been installed and some additional grading and construction of a retaining wall is necessary. Retaining walls in the seasonal recreational district are restricted to 42 inches in PAGE 12 MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING Monday, October 15, 2007 6:00 o'clock p.m. (#07-3323 Structures Unlimited on Behalf of Judson Champlin, Continued) height and the applicants are proposing 48 inches. The City Engineer has determined that the retaining wall should be constructed at 48 inches in height. Planning Staff recommends approval of the retaining wall height and location and approval of the other variances with conditions if the Planning Commission determines it appropriate to grant them. In addition, Planning Staff would like the Planning Commission to consider whether there are ways to mitigate the visual and water quality impacts of the variances. For structural reasons the entire structure should be on the same type of foundation. Staff does not have a position on the foundation type variance. The reasons for requiring a perimeter foundation are unclear and only in the recreational season district are perimeter foundations required. Both types of foundation have frost footings. Ross Langhans stated the applicants would like to add some space to accommodate their family. Langhans noted he did work with Staff on upgrading the septic system and that as a result of the work on the septic system, a retaining work is required and they will be submitting the required engineering for the retaining wall. Langhans indicated there were also a large number of trees that were removed in conjunction with the septic system work and the owners would like to retain as many remaining trees as possible. Langhans commented the lot has been cleaned up except for natural debris. Chair Kempf opened the public hearing at 7:34 p.m. There were no public comments regarding this application. Chair Kempf closed the public hearing at 7:34 p.m. Kempf asked how high the roof would be. Langhans stated it would be approximately 31 to 32 feet to the peak. Langhans indicated attic trusses would be utilized to help achieve the look of a chalet and to provide some attic space. Kempf commented that the building is located in the 0-75 foot zone and that this project would make it even more prominent from the lake. Kempf stated it is unfortunate this house cannot be pushed further back on the lot and that his recommendation would be to require a fair amount of screening. Langhans indicated the homeowner is willing to work with the City. Turner noted the ordinance requiring the upgrade to the septic system at the point of sale would not go into effect into January 1, 2008. Langhans commented he has spent a considerable amount of time designing an attractive structure rather than adding a second story to the structure. Kempf stated if this were a building starting from scratch, the structure would not be nearly as high and it would be pushed back into the hill away from the lakeside. In looking at the photograph, it appears it would be less prominent from the lake if it were pushed further back from the lakeside. PAGE 13 MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING Monday, October 15, 2007 6:00 o'clock p.m. (#07-3323 Structures Unlimited on Behalf of Judson Champlin, Continued) Langhans stated given the work on the septic system, if the house were built on the hill, it would be even more prominent. Winer stated on the south elevation, it appears the peak is 32 feet from top to bottom and that it appears to be a 12: 12 pitch. The surveyor's certificate shows the grade at the front of the deck is at 934' on the survey and at the midway point it is 93 8', with the back of the house being at 944'. Langhans concurred the lot is rather steep. Winer stated she would like to know the distance from the deck. Turner requested Mr. Langhans measure from the deck to the peak using the southeast elevation. Langhans stated from the surface of the deck, it would be 25 feet to the peak. Turner stated you would need to add eight feet to that number to account for the space between the deck and the ground. Langhans stated existing is 13 feet from the surface of the deck to the peak and they would be adding 12 feet. Winer questioned whether the building could be made wider rather than so tall. Turner stated it might be possible to make the roof flatter. Winer stated she would like to see the roof made flatter if at all possible. Zullo indicated she would also like to see the roof flatter given the closeness of the structure to the lake. Langhans stated he attempted to make the structure look like a chalet and that he could go to a 10: 12 roof, which would result in a loss of attic space. Langhans noted the side walls in the second story are only three feet now. Winer asked whether the owners would be willing to consider one large dormer rather than three dormers. Langhans stated it is not possible to construct it with one large dormer as he would be using attic trusses on top of the existing structure. The dormers are sized to give them three equal sized dormers and provide some living space. Langhans stated he is limited to a maximum width of eight feet for the dormers. Kroeger stated in his view dormers help to break up the roofline. Kempf stated he would like to see some type of significant screening plan that could be presented to the City Council. PAGE 14 MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING Monday, October 15, 2007 6:00 o'clock p.m. (#07-3323 Structures Unlimited on behalf of Judson Champlin, Continued) Langhans stated the property owners are willing to work with the City as much as possible. Winer suggested some rock also be incorporated on the exterior of the house to help break up the appearance of the house. Langhans stated the exterior would incorporate other materials to help make the house more attractive. Turner suggested some landscaping be provided to help screen the lower level. Langhans indicated they would be willing to work with Staff on the screening prior to the city council meeting. Winer moved, Kempf seconded, to recommend approval of Application #07-3323, Structures Unlimited on behalf of Judson and Aleya Champlin, 210 Big Island, granting of lakeshore setback and hardcover variances, subject to a landscape plan and a revised 10:12 roofline being submitted to Staff for their review and approval prior to this application proceeding to the City Council.

Resolution per Council direction Date: December 10, 2007 Item No. Agenda Section: Application Summary: Applicant requests lakeshore setback and hardcover variances to construct an addition to the rear of the existing house as well as add a second story to it. A foundation type variance is also requested to allow the addition to be constructed on post footings rather than a perimeter foundation. Background: On November 26, 2007 Council directed Staff to draft a resolution approving the variances. The resolution would require a lakeshore buffer for the portion of the shoreline adjacent to Bay Place and at the bottom of the slope (see Resolution Exhibit C). The buffer would have to be improved to the standards for a wetland buffer. Rip-rap would not be in this area. If erosion control is needed aquatic plants could be used. The buffer area would be protected with a conservation easement. The owners would still have use of the portions of the lakeshore that are currently being actively used. COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED Adopt or amend the attached resolution. ::. A RESOLUTION GRANTINGV ARIANCES TO MUNICIPAL ZONING CODE SECTIONS 78-571 AND 78-573(1) FILE NO. 07-3323 WHEREAS, Judson K. Champlin and Aleya R. Champlin, husband and wife, (hereinafter "Owners") are the owners of the property located at 210 Big Island within the City of Orono (hereinafter "City") and legally described as: Lots 21 to 24 inclusive, that part of Bay Place vacated lying East of the Easterly lines of Lots 21, 22, 23, And East of a line drawn from the Southeasterly comer of Lot 21 to the Northeasterly comer of Lot 20 and lying North of a line erected perpendicular to the last described line at a point thereon 15 feet Southerly from the Southeasterly comer of Lot 21 and extending to the shore of Lake Minnetonka, all in Morse Island Park Hennepin County, Minnesota (hereinafter "the Property"); and WHEREAS, Structures Unlimited has made application on behalf of the Owners to the City for variances to Municipal Zoning Code Sections 78-570 and 78-571 to allow constructiuon of addition to the rear of the existing cabin and a second story over the entire cabin when the cabin and most of the addition are within the 75 foot lakeshore setback where no hardcover is allowed; and WHEREAS, Structures Unlimited has made application on behalf of the Owners to the City for a variance to Municipal Zoning Code Section 78-573(1) to allow the addition to be constructed on post footings rather than a perimeter foundation; and WHEREAS, after due published notice and mailed notice in accordance with Minnesota Statutes and the City of Orono Zoning and Planning Codes, the Orono Planning Commission held a public hearing on October 15, 2007, at which times all persons desiring to be heard concerning this application were given the opportunity to speak thereon. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of Orono, Minnesota: FINDINGS 1. This application was reviewed as Zoning File #07-3323 Page 1 of 5 2. The Property is located in the RS zoning district, where 5 acres is the minimum lot area and 200 feet is the minimum lot width. The Property is approximately 1.02 in area and 196 feet in width. 3. The Planning Commission reviewed this application on October 15, 2007 and on a vote of 6 -0 recommended approval of the variances, based on the following findings: a. The horizontal expansion will be to the rear of the existing structure and will not be visible from the lake. b. The vertical expansion will resemble a half-story. c. The Owners are willing to install shrubbery across the front of the cabin to visually reduce the height of the structure. d. The Owners are willing to install rain gardens to promote infiltration of roof runoff. e. The existing cabin is on a post foundation. It is best that a building have only one type of foundation. The post foundation is structurally equivalent to a perimeter foundation and because of the skirting will be visually indistinguishable from a perimeter foundation. f. The project will create less disturbance of the site than removal of the existing cabin and construction of a replacement cabin at a conforming location with a conforming foundation. 4. The City Council has considered this application including the findings and recommendation of the Planning Commission, reports by City staff, comments by the applicants and the public, and the effect of the proposed variance on the health, safety and welfare of the community. 5. The City Council finds that the conditions existing on this property are peculiar to it and do not apply generally to other property in this zoning district; that granting the variances would not adversely affect traffic conditions, light, air nor pose a fire hazard or other danger to neighboring property; would not merely serve as a convenience to the Owners but are necessary to alleviate a Page 2 of 5 demonstrable hardship or difficulty; is necessary to preserve a substantial property right of the Owners; and would be in keeping with the spirit and intent of the Zoning Code and Comprehensive Plan of the City. CONCLUSIONS, ORDER AND CONDITIONS Based upon the above findings, the Orono City Council hereby grants variances to Orono Municipal Zoning Code Sections 78-570, 78-571 and 78-573(1), subject to the following conditions: 1. Council approval is based on the site and house plans submitted by the Owners and annotated by City staff, attached to this Resolution as Exhibits A, B and C. Any amendments to these plans may require further Planning Commission and City Council review. 2. Hardcover in the 0-75' zone shall be limited to 1,256 s.f. or 6.21 % per the proposed site plan and the hardcover allowance summary as depicted on Exhibit C. This hardcover shall be subtracted from the allowed hardcover in the 75 to 250' zone. The owners are advised that any future requests to increase hardcover in the O to 75' zone or change the nature of approved hardcover shall require City approval, and increases in hardcover will not likely be approved without concurrent reduction in existing hardcover. 3. The Owners shall install and maintain rain gardens to accommodate 100 percent of the roof runoff for the average rainfall year. 4. If erosion control measures are necessary within the non-rip rap area noted on the site plan detail (Exhibit C), native plantings shall be used rather than rip- rap. 5. A buffer meeting the standards of City Code Section 78-1605 shall be established within the area noted on the site plan detail (Exhibit C). This buffer shall be protected by a conservation easement. The Certificate of Occupancy shall not be issued until this easement is provided. 6. The Certificate of Occupancy shall not be issued until an as-built grading plan Page 3 of 5 verifying compliance with engineering and zoning approvals has been submitted and approved. This plan shall include a legal description of the buffer area. Any deviation from the approved plan may require Planning Commission and/or City Council review. 7. Owners shall not place any plastic or fabric liner material under any landscaping on the property to ensure their permeability as non-hardcover surfaces. 8. Authorities granted by this resolution run with the Property not with the owners, but are permissive only and must be exercised by obtaining a building permit for the new construction before December 10, 2008 or the variance will expire on that date. 9. Violation of or non-compliance with any of the terms and conditions of this resolution shall constitute a violation of the zoning code, shall automatically terminate any authority granted herein, and shall be punishable as a misdemeanor. 10. The undersigned Owners have read, understand and hereby agree to the terms of this resolution and on behalf of their heirs, successors and assigns, hereby agree to the recording of this resolution in the chain of title of the property. Adopted by the Orono City Council on this 10th day of December, 2007. ATTEST: Linda S. Vee, City Clerk James M. White, Mayor Judson K. Champlin Aleya R.

A foundation type variance is requested to allow the addition to be constructed on post footings rather than a perimeter foundation. (The retaining wall portion of this application was approved on November 13, 2007. This portion was delayed because the owners were out of the Country.) Planning Commission Recommendation On October 15, 2007, Planning Commission voted 6 to Oto recommend approval of the variances subject to: 1. The pitch of the roof being reduced to 10:12. Rather than reduce roof pitch the Applicant has reduced the height of the side walls the 10 inches. This is the same amount the reduction in roof pitch would have reduced the peak height. The Applicant also increased the roof overhang to two feet, which lowered the height of the eave line slightly. 2. A landscaping plan for screening being submitted for Staff review prior to the City Council meeting. The applicant revised the grading plan to add rain gardens to catch roof drainage. Shrubs are proposed along the front of the cabin. Staff thought it best to not submit the revised grading plan to the City Engineer for review or ask for a detailed planting plan until direction had been received from Council regarding the variances. Planning Staff Recommendation FILE 07-3323 November 26, 2007 Page 2 of 2 Foundation Type: Staff had not previously made a recommendation at the time regarding the foundation type variance, pending research into the reasons a perimeter foundation was required. A review of the files turned up a memo (Exhibit D) that seems to explain the reasons for the requirement. To explain further, shortly before the memo was written the Legislature had amended State Statutes to preclude municipalities from prohibiting manufactured homes. But they also amended the Statutes to allow municipalities to regulate the type of foundation, roof pitch and house width. This allowed municipalities to effectively ban single-wide mobile homes supported by stacked cement blocks without footings. These regulations were not incorporated into the other residential zoning districts when the zoning code was recodified. A post foundation is the structural equivalent of a perimeter masonry or wood foundation. The Building Official indicates that it is best that a structure have only one type of foundation. With the skirting proposed this post foundation would be indistinguishable from a perimeter foundation when viewed from the exterior. Based on these factors Staff would recommend approval of the foundation type variance if the other variances are to be approved. Roof mass: Staff is concerned that the Planning Commission did not understand what the impact of the reduction in roof pitch would be. In Staffs opinion this change is unperceivable. To achieve a significant reduction in roof mass would require additional changes to the roof such as eliminating dormers, further reducing the height of the sidewalls, or decreasing roof pitch. Additional Conditions: There were two additional conditions that Staff had recommended that the Commission did not clearly address: 1. The exterior of the structure (including the roof) to be darker earth tones with the crawl space enclosed in the same color materials as the upper portion of the structure. 2. Lakeshore buffer for 75 percent of the shoreline. (This is the percentage recommended by DNR). The Applicant seemed willing to accept the first condition. The second was not specifically discussed. Given the length of the shoreline staff thought some lakeshore buffer would be appropriate, perhaps along the back of the lagoon at the base of the slope and on the side of the lagoon away from the house. COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED Direct Staff to draft a resolution approving and/or denying the variances.

A foundation type variance is requested to allow the addition to be constructed on post footings rather than a perimeter foundation. Retaining wall height, location, and hardcover variances are also requested. Staff Recommendation: Planning Department Staff recommends approval of the retaining wall within the 75 to 250 foot zone and approval of the other variances with conditions if the Planning Commissions determines it appropriate to grant them. Pertinent Zoning Ordinance Sections Sec . 78-571. Lakeshore hard cover regulations. Within 75 feet of any shoreline , there shall be no excavating, filling , hard cover, temporary or permanent structures. Within 75 to 250 feet of the shoreline, there shall be no greater than 25 percent hard cover. Within 250 to 500 feet of the shoreline , there shall be no greater than 30 percent hard cover. Within 500 to 1,000 feet of the shoreline , there shall be no greater than 35 percent hard cover. Sec. 78-573. Building construction standards. Within any RS seasonal recreational district, all new buildings or structures and all additions , repairs , alterations or improvements to existing buildings or structures shall be built in strict conformance with the current edition of the state building code as adopted and amended by the city , and with the following regulations: (1) Foundations required All new or remodeled seasonal dwellings or guest cabins and all principal dwellings shall be placed on a permanent frost- depth , solid masonry or treated wood foundation that completely encloses the entire perimeter of the building . Sec. 78-570. Yard and setback requirements. FILE 07-3323 October 14, 2007 Page 2 of 5 Within any RS seasonal recreational district, the following yard and setback requirements shall be observed for all new structures and for any addition or alteration to any existing structure, whether temporary, seasonal or permanent: (1) Minimum setback from lakeshore, all structures, including decks, fences, retaining walls, wells, on-site sewage treatment systems and land alteration of any kind, 75 feet. Sec. 78-566. Accessory uses. Within any RS seasonal recreational district, no accessory structure or use of land shall be permitted unless a permitted or conditional use is first established on such land, except as allowed in section 78-564(2). Once a permitted or conditional use exists on any lot or parcel, no accessory structure or use of land shall be permitted except for one or more of the following uses: (13) Retaining walls, not to exceed 42 inches in height, and no part of which may be located within 75 feet of the shoreline.

Enlarged survey with setbacks and other features annotated by Staff. H. Intent Statement for RS zoning district Background The property had flat area that extends 10 to 100 feet back from the shore. Behind this area the land rises at an approximately 22 percent grade. (See Exhibit G.) Except for the cabin and the septic system area the slope is wooded. The flat area is grass. In conjunction with the last major revision to the Seasonal Recreational zoning district regulations in 1983 the property was granted an area and width variance to allow use of the property for a seasonal dwelling. The existing seasonal dwelling on the property was constructed in 1968. It is a 702 square foot cabin on a post foundation with a 312 square foot lakeside deck. At the lake side the floor is about seven feet above grade. At the rear the floor is roughly at grade. The crawl space under the cabin is enclosed. The entire structure is within the 75-foot setback. The deck is 35 feet from the lake at one comer and 33.8 feet at the other. The cabin itself is about 44 and 45 feet from the lake. The dwelling is legal non-conforming. State statutes would allow the cabin to be totally reconstructed in its current form with a perimeter foundation or a post foundation. A variance would be required to convert the crawl space to living space because it would be an FILE 07-3323 October 14, 2007 Page 3 of 5 expansion of the use and the cabin would need to be raised several feet to provide adequate ceiling height. The proposed addition would extend the structure 10 feet to the rear. It would be constructed on posts. The second story would have the appearance of a half story but it would not satisfy the Code definition of a half story. The height of the sidewalls would be increased by three feet and the peak height by 12 feet. The proposed structure would satisfy the height and story limitations. (If there were a basement under the structure it would be far enough into the ground to qualify as a basement.) An existing 8-foot by 12-foot shed would be relocated out of the Oto 75 foot zone. As required by the City a new septic system was installed this summer. The septic system extends up the hill behind the cabin. This area was graded and will require a retaining wall up to 48 inches high. Grading and retaining wall are proposed within the Oto 75 foot zone to direct drainage around the cabin LOT ANALYSIS WORSHEET Lot Area/Width: Required Actual Lot Area 5 acres 1.02 Lot Width 200 feet 196 feet Structural Coverage: Allowed Existing Proposed 6,661 s.f. 15.00% 1,175 s.f. 2.65% 1,299 s.f. 2.93% Hardcover Calculations: Hardcover Total Area in Allowed Existing Proposed Zone Zone Hardcover Hardcover hardcover 0-75 20,186 s.f. 0 s.f. 1,200 s.f. 1,256 s.f. 0% 5.83% 6.22% 75-250 21,766 s.f. 5,442 s.f. 0 s.f. 319 s.f. 25% 1.47% Total for 44,404 s.f. 5,442 s.f. 1,200 s.f. 1,575 s.f. Property Variances The second story addition would have a lake setback of 45 feet and the rear addition would have a lake setback of 67 feet. A 75-foot setback is required. Hardcover within the Oto 75 foot zone would increase from 1,200 square feet to 1,256 square feet or from 5.83 percent to 6.22 percent. No hardcover is permitted in this zone. The post foundation would be maintained and utilized for the rear addition. The code requires a new or remodeled seasonal dwelling on Big Island have a continuous perimeter foundation. State Statutes would allow FILE 07-3323 October 14, 2007 Page 4 of 5 The proposed retaining wall would be 48 inches high when the maximum is 42 inches. Grading and part of the retaining wall would extend into the Oto 75 foot zone. Hardship Statement Applicant has completed the Hardship Documentation Form attached as Exhibit B, and should be asked for additional testimony regarding the application. Hardship Analysis In considering 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 undue hardship 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. Issues for Consideration Without any variances a replacement seasonal residence could be constructed on the lot. If the structure complied with all other applicable zoning regulations only building permit approval would be required. The steep slope would probably preclude simply moving the cabin to a location father from the lake, so a replacement residence would most likely be larger than the proposed expansion of the existing structure. The area where the structure could be located is about 20 feet above the lake so it would probably be more visible that the current structure. Is the wooded slope is an important enough ecological and visual resource to justify granting the variances that would allow it to remain undisturbed? Are there ways to mitigate the visual and water quality impacts of the variance? Possible ways to limit water quality impacts include lakeshore buffers, rain barrels, rain gardens, and similar measures. Restricting the exterior colors of the dwelling, restricting vegetation removal and requiring large shrubs in front of the deck could reduce the visual impact. The 48 inch high retaining wall outside the Oto 75 foot zone is necessitated by the changes to grade made to accommodate the septic system. It is unclear if the retaining wall within the 0 to 75 foot zone is necessary without the addition. For structural reasons the entire structure should be on the same type of foundation. Staff does not have a position on the foundation type variance. The reasons for requiring a perimeter foundation are unclear. Only in the RS district is a perimeter foundation required. Both types of foundations have frost footings. Are there any other issues or concerns with this application? Staff Recommendation FILE 07-3323 October 14, 2007 Page 5 of 5 Planning Staff recommends approval of the retaining wall height variance and, if the City Engineer determines the retaining wall within the O -75 foot zoned is necessary for the existing structure, approval of the location and hardcover variances, subject to removal of the 31 square foot lakeshore deck in the northeast comer of the property and relocation of the shed out of the Oto 75 foot setback. If the Commission determines granting the variances to allow the additions is appropriate, Planning Staff would recommend the following mitigative measures: 1. The exterior of the structure (including the roof) to be darker earth tones with the crawl space enclosed in the same color materials as the upper portion of the structure. 2. Large native shrubs to be planted in front of the deck. 3. Lakeshore buffer for 75 percent of the shoreline. (This 1s the percentage recommended by DNR). 4. Installation of gutters and downspouts with the runoff being directed to rain garden(s).

Our review was based on several phone conversations with yourself and Tina of Structures Unlimited, Inc., plans prepared by Structures Unlimited labeled PRELIMINARY PLANS FOR CITY REVIEW, and limited preliminary calculations. Attaching an addition to the rear of the house and adding a level to the existing structure by removing the existing roof and providing new attic trusses is structurally feasible provided reinforcement is provided to the existing headers, rim beams, footings, and miscellaneous items as necessary. It is my understanding that Mattson Macdonald Young will be involved during the construction documents phase of work to provide structural information as necessary. The above opinion is based on discussions with Structures Unlimited, limited calculations, and a field observation. This opinion does not address any other portions of the structure, nor does it provide .any warranty, either expressed or implied, for any portion of the structure. No attempt was made to perform an exhaustive investigation of all conditions and building elements. It is possible that conditions exist that cannot be discovered or judged as a result of this limited nature of investigation. Feel free to call if you have any comments or questions.

Exf11h, f B Page 1 of 3 HARDSHIP DOCUMENTATION FORM This form is a required submittal for ALL variance applications. An application will not be considered complete or placed on any meeting agendas until this form is complete and submitted to the City. Minnesota State Statutes Section 394.27, Subdivision 7 requires that a hardship be demonstrated in order for a variance to be granted. The hardship must be unique to the property as variances run with the land and not the land owner. Personal and economic situations are not considered valid hardships. In order for an application to be heard by the Planning Commission and City Council a hardship having merit must be demonstrated. HOW DO I PROVE A HARDSHIP? This form has 12 points outlining the basis City staff uses to determine if a hardship exists and how the variance will affect the surrounding community. To prove a hardship, address all the relevant points listed below and answer them as clearly as possible. Since you are requesting the code exception, you have the burden of proving that the variance is justified. The information the City receives is what is used in determining a denial or approval recommendation. If you leave something out it wi II not be considered. Please address each of these hardship criteria as they relate to the request (some may not apply): 1. ''The property in question cannot be put to a reasonable use if used under conditions allowed by the official controls." Due to the nature of the lot, the set back from the lake and the position of the new septic system, there is essentially no room for a conforminQ structure. 2. ''The plight of the landowner is due to circumstances unique to his property not created by the landowner." This is a unique property because it is nearly level near the lakeshore, but then steeply slopes upwards at the back (west) end of the lot, in which a conforming septic system has been installed with tremendous difficulty and the loss of numerous trees. (See Hardship Statement below for additional information.) 3. "The variance, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the locality." True -the setback variance will permit the retention of the original structure on the property, whereas denial of the variance will require tearing down the original structure and building a new structure in a currently heavily treed, natural area adjacent the conforming septic system. 4. "Economic considerations alone shall not constitute an undue hardship if reasonable use for the property exists under the terms of the Zoning Chapter." Although the economic expense is not the only factor, it is one factor. It might be possible to demolish the current structure and relocate to a conforming site. However, given the nature of the lot. this would likely require replacement of a brand new conforminQ septic system (installed in August, 2007), removal of much of the tree cover, and regrading much of the lot, including barge removal of excavated materials. #3323 Page 2 of 3 5. "Undue hardship also includes, but is not limited to, inadequate access to direct sunlight for solar energy systems. Variances shall be granted for earth sheltered construction as defined in Minnesota Statutes, Section 116J.06, Subd. 2, when in harmony with this Chapter." Not applicable 6. ''The Board of Appeals and Adjustments 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." This property is and will continue to be used as a single-family seasonal dwelling and property. 7. "The Board or Council may permit as a variance the temporary use of a one-family dwelling as a two-family dwelling." Not applicable. This property will be used as a one-family seasonal dwelling. 8. "The special conditions applying to the structure or land in question are peculiar to such property or immediately adjoining property." Yes -this property is unique due to its being nearly level near the lakeshore where the existing structure is located, with a steep slope upwards away from the lakeshore, and because of the keyhole at one end of the property. 9. "The conditions do not apply generally to other land or structures in the district in which said land is located." True 10. "The granting of the application is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a substantial property right of the applicant." Yes -based upon the new conforming septic system installation in August of this year and the unique characteristics of this property, the placement of any structure is very limited. 11. "The granting of the proposed variance will not in any way impair health, safety, comfort, morals, or in any other respect be contrary to the intent of the Zoning Code." True #3323 Page 3 of 3 12. "The granting of such variance will not merely serve as a convenience to the applicant, but is necessary to alleviate demonstrable hardship or difficulty." Yes -the hardship and difficulty being the steep slope upwards away from the lakeshore, combined with the area required by the conforming septic system, and the set back requirements from the lakeshore. Hardship Statement Should you feel the hardship cannot fully be described in the above criteria, describe the unique hardship, practical difficulty or unusual property conditions preventing compliance with Zoning Ordinance requirements in the following lines (attach additional sheets if necessary): In addition to the unique characteristics of the property described above, this property also includes a pre-existing (1960's?) man-made "keyhole" at one end of the lakeshore. The keyhole requires an even greater setback as defined by the official controls, making it harder and more difficult to find a location for a conforming structure on the property. A photograph of this keyhole is attached. #3323 l <)')2 Photo from City Fiks !added by Staff) #3323 Hennepin County Variance Mal" 22-117-23-14 220 22-117-23-41 Parcel Information: Parcel ID: 23-117-23-23-0034 Owner Name: J K CHAMPLIN & AR CHAMPLIN Parcel Address: 210BIG ISLAND ORONO MN, 55331 Buffer Size: 150 ft. ?o.

The plans show construction of a retaining wall and addition to the existing home. We have the following comments with regards to engineering matters: • The entire existing home is located within the 0-75' setback area. The grading along the sides of the existing home will improve drainage by channeling overland runoff away from the house. Locating the retaining wall within the 0-75' setback is necessary to maintain proper drainage away from the proposed addition. • The grading west of the proposed addition should be performed to direct water around the home. • The plans show the removal of approximately two feet of soil above the existing septic sewer lines. The applicant should verify that adequate cover is maintained to prevent freezing or insulate the pipe. If you have any questions, please call me at (651) 604-4894.

Ross Langhans with Structures Unlimited, Inc., was present. Turner stated the applicant is requesting lakeshore setback and hardcover variances to construct an addition to the rear of the existing seasonal swelling as well as add a second story to it. A foundation type variance is requested to allow the addition to be constructed on post footings rather than a perimeter foundation. Retaining wall height, location, and hardcover variances are also requested. The existing seasonal dwelling on the property was constructed in 1968. It is a 702 square foot cabin on a post foundation with a 312 square foot lakeside deck. At the lake side the floor is about seven feet above grade. At the rear the floor is roughly at grade. The crawl space under the cabin is enclosed. The entire structure is within the 75-foot setback. The deck is 35 feet from the lake at one comer and 33.8 feet at the other. The dwelling is legal non-conforming. State statutes would allow the cabin to be totally reconstructed in its current form with a perimeter foundation or a post foundation. A variance would be required to convert the crawl space to living space between it would be an expansion of the use and the cabin would need to be raised several feet to provide adequate ceiling height. A septic system has recently been installed and some additional grading and construction of a retaining wall is necessary. Retaining walls in the seasonal recreational district are restricted to 42 inches in PAGE 12 ( MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING Monday, October 15, 2007 6:00 o'clock p.m. (#07-3323 Structures Unlimited on Behalf of Judson Champlin, Continued) height and the applicants are proposing 48 inches. The City Engineer has determined that the retaining wall should be constructed at 48 inches in height. Planning Staff recommends approval of the retaining wall height and location and approval of the other variances with conditions if the Planning Commission determines it appropriate to grant them. In addition, Planning Staff would like the Planning Commission to consider whether there are ways to mitigate the visual and water quality impacts of the variances. For structural reasons the entire structure should be on the same type of foundation. Staff does not have a position on the foundation type variance. The reasons for requiring a perimeter foundation are unclear and only in the recreational season district are perimeter foundations required. Both types of foundation have frost footings. Ross Langhans stated the applicants would like to add some space to accommodate their family. Langhans noted he did work with Staff on upgrading the septic system and that as a result of the work on the septic system, a retaining work is required and they will be submitting the required engineering for the retaining wall. Langhans indicated there were also a large number of trees that were removed in conjunction with the septic system work and the owners would like to retain as many remaining trees as possible. Langhans commented the lot has been cleaned up except for natural debris. Chair Kempf opened the public hearing at 7:34 p.m. There were no public comments regarding this application. Chair Kempf closed the public hearing at 7:34 p.m. Kempf asked how high the roof would be. Langhans stated it would be approximately 31 to 32 feet to the peak. Langhans indicated attic trusses would be utilized to help achieve the look of a chalet and to provide some attic space. Kempf commented that the building is located in the 0-75 foot zone and that this project would make it even more prominent from the lake. Kempf stated it is unfortunate this house cannot be pushed further back on the lot and that his recommendation would be to require a fair amount of screening. Langhans indicated the homeowner is willing to work with the City. Turner noted the ordinance requiring the upgrade to the septic system at the point of sale would not go into effect into January 1, 2008. Langhans commented he has spent a considerable amount of time designing an attractive structure rather than adding a second story to the structure. Kempf stated if this were a building starting from scratch, the structure would not be nearly as high and it would be pushed back into the hill away from the lakeside. In looking at the photograph, it appears it would be less prominent from the lake if it were pushed further back from the lakeside. PAGE 13 MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING Monday, October 15, 2007 6:00 o'clock p.m. (#07-3323 Structures Unlimited on Behalf of Judson Champlin, Continued) Langhans stated given the work on the septic system, if the house were built on the hill, it would be even more prominent. Winer stated on the south elevation, it appears the peak is 32 feet from top to bottom and that it appears to be a 12:12 pitch. The surveyor's certificate shows the grade at the front of the deck is at 934' on the survey and at the midway pointit is 938', with the back of the house being at 944'. Langhans concurred the lot is rather steep. Winer stated she would like to know the distance from the deck. Turner requested Mr. Langhans measure from the deck to the peak using the southeast elevation. Langhans stated from the surface of the deck, it would be 25 feet to the peak. Turner stated you would need to add eight feet to that number to account for the space between the deck and the ground. Langhans stated existing is 13 feet from the surface of the deck to the peak and they would be adding 12 feet. Winer questioned whether the building could be made wider rather than so tall. Turner stated it might be possible to make the roof flatter. Winer stated she would like to see the roof made flatter if at all possible. Zullo indicated she would also like to see the roof flatter given the closeness of the structure to the lake. Langhans stated he attempted to make the structure look like a chalet and that he could go to a 10: 12 roof, which would result in a loss of attic space. Langhans noted the side walls in the second story are only three feet now. Winer asked whether the owners would be willing to consider one large dormer rather than three dormers. Langhans stated it is not possible to construct it with one large dormer as he would be using attic trusses on top of the existing structure. The dormers are sized to give them three equal sized dormers and provide some living space. Langhans stated he is limited to a maximum width of eight feet for the dormers. Kroeger stated in his view dormers help to break up the roofline. Kempf stated he would like to see some type of significant screening plan that could be presented to the City Council. PAGE 14 MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING Monday, October 15, 2007 6:00 o'clock p.m. (#07-3323 Structures Unlimited on behalf of Judson Champlin, Continued) Langhans stated the property owners are willing to work with the City as much as possible. Winer suggested some rock also be incorporated on the exterior of the house to help break up the appearance of the house. Langhans stated the exterior would incorporate other materials to help make the house more attractive. Turner suggested some landscaping be provided to help screen the lower level. Langhans indicated they would be willing to work with Staff on the screening prior to the city council meeting. Winer moved, Kempf seconded, to recommend approval of Application #07-3323, Structures Unlimited on behalf of Judson and Aleya Champlin, 210 Big Island, granting of lakeshore setback and hardcover variances, subject to a landscape plan and a revised 10:12 roofline being submitted to Staff for their review and approval prior to this application proceeding to the City Council.

OTHER ISSUES FOR DISC 'SION None OF REPRESENTATIVES TO ATTEND CITY COUNCIL MEETINGS 2, 2007, AND NOVEMBER 13, 2007 October 22, 2007 -Kempf November 13, 2007 -Schwingler PAGE 15 TO: FROM: DATE: SUBJECT: Planning Commission Members Alan Olson, City Planner November 10, 1982 Proposed Island Zoning Ordinance Cr,t.nc1i ·::>:hitJ1"!.: J PLEASE REFER TO THE DRAFT ORDINANCE COPY PROVIDED WITH YOUR OCTOBER 18, 1982 AGENDA. (Jeanne will have a couple extra copies at the meeting) The City Council anticipates adoption of this ordinance, with any changes necessary, at their November 22, 1982 meeting. PLANNING COMMISSION HAS BEEN ASKED TO MAKE ANY AND ALL COMMENTS INCLUDING A FORMAL RECOMMENDATION at your November 15, 1982 meeting. Planning Commission reviewed this draft ordinance on October 18, 1982. At that time, formal Planning Commission action was deferred until after the October 25, 1982 public hearing. There will be no revised draft typed until after recepit of the Planning Commission recommendations so that all changes can be incorporated at one time. Twenty-three island landowners attended the October 25, 1982 public hearing. Except for one individual questioning the effect on his particularlot, I believe those in attendance will agree that the landowners support the iptent of this ordinance, since it actually identifies their existing properties as buildable and usable even though they might be under the minimum lot size. This will reduce unnecessary variance applications and uncertainty for those owners in the future. At the same time, it will better protect the City against unsuitable over-development of the larger properties. Even the Veteran's Camp representative supported the changes in this ordinance. Mr. Roy Ahern questioned the effect of the ordinance on his property. He had been hoping to build two units on his 2½ acre property instead of one. His is one of many identified lots of record divided by platted undeveloped rights of way. He has now met with me to discuss the effects in detail. It is my feeling that this ordinance does not change his existing buildability rights under the two-acre zoning. It only clarifies in writing the current policy and restrictions; however, he has been advised to put his concerns in writing for the record. I have also told him that I believe his proper eourse of action is to Big Island Ordinance Planning Commission November 10, 1982 Page 2 file a variance request if he chooses so all facts can be reviewed in detail.I do not recommend changing the ordinance or identification of buildable parcels for Ahern or any other individual. Several suggested changes did come up at the hearing. The following changes are recommended for inclusion in the final draft: 1. Changing the definition of seasonal use from 120 days. 'per year or less to 180 days per year or less. (The statutes on property taxation would seem to call anything up to 200 days per year as seasonal) 2. Changing the maximum size of screen-houses and decks from 120 sq . ft. to a more practical 300 sq. ft. when there is no cabin on the lot. (34.362b4) 3. Deleting the requirement for domestic fire sprinkler systems in year-round houses . 4. Adding the previously over-looked standard lakeshore regulations on hardcover and tree removal. 5. Finally, there needs to be several purely editorial changes in language to clarify the intent of various clauses without changing their meaning. Planning Commission members should, of course, also raise any other questions or suggestions which you feel appropriate. In particular, you may want to discuss: A. The suggested building construction standards in Section 34.369: These are new standards for Orono, but quite typical of other zoning ordinances. They were included to address new legislative changes regarding manufactured housing including mobile homes. Similar standards will be considered for all other districts when the overall zoning code is re.codified. Do these suggested standards fit with Planning Commission e x pectations of acceptable development types on the islands? B. The density standards for overnight camps in Section 34.363dl: is one acre per dwelling unit or sleeping quarters a reasonable standard? Given camping spots for tents, should more than one spot per acre be allowed? If changes are recommended, please suggest a new ratio. Planning Commission's formal recommendation to approve, modify or dis- approve the draft ordinance will be forwarded to the City Council for consideration on November 22, 1982.

A hardcover variance to continue the wall into the Oto 75 foot zone is also requested. At the request of the Applicant consideration of the variances for expansion of the cabin has been postponed because the Champlins are out of the country. Planning Commission Recommendation On October 15, 2007, Planning Commission voted 6 to Oto recommend approval of the variances related to the retaining wall. Planning Staff Recommendation Approval of the Variances per the attached Resolution. The entire wall is necessary to stabilize the cut made to install the septic system and to create a swale to convey the runoff around the north side of the cabin.

A RESOLUTION GRANTINGV ARIANCES TO MUNICIPAL ZONING CODE SECTIONS 78-571 AND 78-573(1) FILE NO. 07-3323 Council Exhibit A WHEREAS, Judson Champlin and Aleya Champlin, husband and wife, (hereinafter "Owners") are the owners of the property located at 210 Big Island within the City of Orono (hereinafter "City") and legally described as: Lots 21 to 24 inclusive, that part of Bay Place vacated lying East of the Easterly lines of Lots 21, 22, 23, And East of a line drawn from the Southeasterly comer of Lot 21 to the Northeasterly comer of Lot 20 and lying North of a line erected perpendicular to the last described line at a point thereon 15 feet Southerly from the Southeasterly comer of Lot 21 and extending to the shore of Lake Minnetonka, all in Morse Island Park Hennepin County, Minnesota (hereinafter "the Property"); and WHEREAS, Structures Unlimited has made application on behalf of the Owners to the City for a variance to Municipal Zoning Code Section 78-571 to allow a retaining wall within the Oto 75 foot zone where no hardcover is allowed; and WHEREAS, Structures Unlimited has made application on behalf of the Owners to the City for a Variance to Municipal Zoning Code Section 78-566(13) to allow a retaining wall over 42 inches tall; and WHEREAS, after due published notice and mailed notice in accordance with Minnesota Statutes and the City of Orono Zoning and Planning Codes, the Orono Planning Commission held a public hearing on October 15, 2007, at which times all persons desiring to be heard concerning this application were given the opportunity to speak thereon. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of Orono, Minnesota: FINDINGS 1. This application was reviewed as Zoning File #07-3323. 2. The Property is located in the RS zoning district, where 5 acres is the minimum lot area and 200 feet is the minimum lot width. The Property is approximately Page 1 of 4 1.02 acres in area and 196 feet in width. 3. The Planning Commission reviewed this application on October 15, 2007 and on a vote of 6 -0 recommended approval of the variances, based on the following findings: a. The height of the retaining wall is necessary because of grading done to create a level area for the new septic system. Installation of this system was required by the City. The height of the wall could be reduced but would require grading and removal of additional trees. A substantial number of trees were removed to install the septic system. b. The portion of the retaining wall that is over 42 inches high will not be visible from the lake. c. The retaining wall within the 0 to 75 foot zone is necessary to convey drainage around the cabin and provide positive drainage for the cabin. The alternative would be removal of more trees and more regarding. d. There is 30 square foot lakeside deck that can be removed so there will be no increase in hardcover within the Oto 75 foot zone. 4. The City Council has considered this application including the findings and recommendation of the Planning Commission, reports by City staff, comments by the applicants and the public, and the effect of the proposed variance on the health, safety and welfare of the community. 5. The City Council finds that the conditions existing on this property are peculiar to it and do not apply generally to other property in this zoning district; that granting the variances would not adversely affect light, air nor pose a fire hazard or other danger to neighboring property; would not merely serve as a convenience to the Owners but are necessary to alleviate a demonstrable hardship or difficulty; is necessary to preserve a substantial property right of the Owners; and would be in keeping with the spirit and intent of the Zoning Code and Comprehensive Plan of the City. CONCLUSIONS, ORDER AND CONDITIONS Page 2 of 4 Based upon the above findings, the Orono City Council hereby grants variances to Orono Municipal Zoning Code Sections 78-571 and 78-566(13) to allow construction of a retaining wall subject to the following conditions: 1. Council approval is based on the site plan submitted by the Owners and annotated by City staff, attached to this Resolution as Exhibit A. Any amendments to these plans may require further Planning Commission and City Council review. 2. Hardcover in the 0-75' zone shall be limited to 1,132 s.f. or 5.60% per the proposed site plan and hardcover allowance summary as depicted on the site plan. This amount shall be subtracted from the hardcover allowance for the 75- 250 foot zone. The owners are advised that any future requests to increase hardcover or change the nature of existing/approved hardcover shall require City approval, and increases in hardcover will not likely be approved without concurrent reduction in existing hardcover. 3. Authorities granted by this resolution run with the Property not with the owners, but are permissive only and must be exercised by obtaining a building permit for the wall before November 13, 2008 or the variance will expire on that date. 4. Violation of or non-compliance with any of the terms and conditions of this resolution shall constitute a violation of the zoning code, shall automatically terminate any authority granted herein, and shall be punishable as a misdemeanor. 5. The undersigned Owners have read, understand and hereby agree to the terms of this resolution and on behalf of their heirs, successors and assigns, hereby agree to the recording of this resolution in the chain of title of the property. Adopted by the Orono City Council on this 13th day of November, 2007. ATTEST: Page 3 of 4 Linda S. Vee, City Clerk Judson Champlin STATE OF MINNESOTA COUNTY OF HENNEPIN James M.

If there were available land to do so, Staff would ask that the square footage that was not allowed to be buffered due to the home's square footage be made up elsewhere. Staff feels appropriate language can be drafted to meet the recommendations of the city engineer. Kroeger stated the compromise would be five feet closer to the road, 15 feet further away from the wetland buffer, and a narrower structure. Kroeger whether Staff has incorporated any of the provisions of the wetland ordinance. Curtis stated as of the drafting of the Planner's Report, John Smythe had not yet reviewed the property and that prior to the City Council meeting, Staff would work with the City Engineer and have something in place concerning that. Chair Kempf opened the public hearing at 7:20 p.m. There were no public comments regarding this application. Chair Kempf closed the public hearing at 7:20 p.m. Kroeger moved, Schwingler seconded, to recommend approval of Application #07-3322, Robert and Jordana Williams, 845 Willow Drive South, subject to the incorporation of the city engineer's recommendations and subject to combining the two lots.

Aleya Caa;i:aplin, Apphetmt, ane Ross Langhans with Structures Unlimited, Inc., ~present. Turner stated the applicant is requesting lakeshore setback and hardcover variances to construct an addition to the rear of the existing seasonal swelling as well as add a second story to it. A foundation PAGE 17 MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING Monday, October 15, 2007 6:00 o'clock p.m. type variance is requested to allow the addition to be constructed on post footings rather than a perimeter foundation. Retaining wall height, location, and hardcover variances are also requested. The existing seasonal dwelling on the property was constructed in 1968. It is a 702 square foot cabin on a post foundation with a 312 square foot lakeside deck At the lake side the floor is about seven feet above grade. At the rear the floor is roughly at grade. The crawl space under the cabin is enclosed. The entire structure is within the 75-foot setback. The deck is 35 feet from the lake at one comer and 33.8 feet at the other. The dwelling is legal non-conforming. State statutes would allow the cabin to be totally reconstructed in its current form with a perimeter foundation or a post foundation. A variance would be required to convert the crawl space to living space between it would be an expansion of the use and the cabin would need to be raised several feet to provide adequate ceiling height. A septic system has recently been installed and some additional grading and construction of a retaining wall is necessary. Retaining walls in the seasonal recreational district are restricted to 42 inches in height and the applicants are proposing 48 inches. The City Engineer has determined that the retaining wall should be constructed at 48 inches in height. heJ~l-J+ ~ IOGl\li""' Planning Staff recommends approval of the retaining wall within tae 75 250 fGot hooe and approval of the other variances with conditions if the Planning Commission determines it appropriate to grant them. In addition, Planning Staff would like the Planning Commission to consider whether there are ways to mitigate the visual and water quality impacts of the variances. For structural reasons the entire structure should be on the same type of foundation. Staff does not have a position on the foundation type variance. The reasons for requiring a perimeter foundation are unclear and only in the recreational season district are perimeter foundations required. Both types of foundation have frost footings. Ross Langhans stated the applicants would like to add some space to accommodate their family. Langhans noted he did work with Staff on upgrading the septic system and that as a result of the work on the septic system, a retaining work is required and they will be submitting the required engineering for the retaining wall. PAGE 18 MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING Monday, October 15, 2007 6:00 o'clock p.m. Langhans indicated there were also a large number of trees that were removed in conjunction with the ou.me.-rs septic system work and the applieams would like to retain as many remaining trees as possible. Langhans commented the lot has been cleaned up except for natural debris. Chair Kempf opened the public hearing at 7:34 p.m. There were no public comments regarding this application. Chair Kempf closed the public hearing at 7:34 p.m. Kempf asked how high the roof would be. Langhans stated it would be approximately 31 to 32 feet to the peak. Langhans indicated attic trusses would be utilized to help achieve the look of a chalet and to provide some attic space. Kempf commented that the building is located in the 0-75 foot zone and that this project would make it even more prominent from the lake. Kempf stated it is unfortunate this house cannot be pushed further back on the lot and that his recommendation would be to require a fair amount of screening. Langhans indicated the homeowner is willing to work with the City. Turner noted the ordinance requiring the upgrade to the septic system at the point of sale would not go into effect into January 1, 2008. Langhans commented he has spent a considerable amount of time designing an attractive structure rather than adding a second story to the structure. Kempf stated if this were a building starting from scratch, the structure would not be nearly as high and it would be pushed back into the hill away from the lakeside. In looking at the photograph, it appears it would be less prominent from the lake if it were pushed further back from the lakeside. PAGE 19 MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING Monday, October 15, 2007 6:00 o'clock p.m. Langhans stated given the work on the septic system, if the house were built on the hill, it would be even more prominent. Winer stated on the south elevation, it appears the peak is 32 feet from top to bottom and that it appears qr-Ade.. A+ +11e..- to be a 12: 12 pitch. The surveyor's certificate shows the,\front of the deck is at 934' on the survey and at the midway point it is 93 8 ', with the back of the house being at 944'. Langhans concurred the lot is rather steep. Winer stated she would like to know the distance from the ~ de<..IC • Turner requested Mr. Langhans measure from the deck to the peak using the southeast elevation. Langhans stated from the surface of the deck, it would be 25 feet to the peak. Turner stated you would need to add eight feet to that number to account for the space between the deck and the ground. Langhans stated existing is 13 feet from the surface of the deck to the peak and they would be adding 12 feet. Winer questioned whether the building could be made wider rather than so tall. Turner stated it might be possible to make the roof flatter. Winer stated she would like to see the roof made flatter if at all possible. Zullo indicated she would also like to see the roof flatter given the closeness of the structure to the lake. Langhans stated he attempted to make the structure look like a chalet and that he could go to a 10: 12 Ase ccmd ~ roof, which would result in a loss of attic space. Langhans noted the walls in the~ are only~ feet now.along the gntl.ide ,valls. <-$tO.Q--\-\'\rre.~ PAGE 20 MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING Monday, October 15, 2007 6:00 o'clock p.m. Winer asked whether the~~£ would be willing to consider one large dormer rather than three dormers. ,q";:> Langhans stated it is not possible to construct it with one large dormer and that he would be using attic trusses on top of the existing structure. The dormers are sized to give them three equal sized dormers and provide some living space. Langhans stated he is limited to a maximum of eight feet for the lc..u1dl+\ dormers. Kroeger stated in his view dormers help to break up the roofline. Kempf stated he would like to see some type of significant screening plan that could be presented to the City Council. Langhans stated the property owners are willing to work with the City as much as possible. Winer suggested some rock also be incorporated on the exterior of the house to help break up the appearance of the house. Langhans stated the exterior would incorporate other materials to help make the house more attractive. Turner suggested some landscaping be provided to help screen the lower level. Langhans indicated they would be willing to work with Staff on the screening prior to the city council meeting. Winer moved, Kempf seconded, to recommend approval of Application #07-3323, Structures Unlimited on behalf of Judson and Aleya Champlin, 210 Big Island, granting of lakeshore setback and hardcover variances, subject to a landscape plan and a revised 10:12 roofline being submitted to Staff for their review and approval prior to this application proceeding to the City Council. VOTE: Ayes 6, Nays 0. PAGE21 RS SEASONAL RECREATIONAL DISTRICT Sec. 78-561. Purpose. The RS seasonal recreational district is intended to provide a district which will allow a low-density seasonal form of residential development or recreational activity on the three Lake Minnetonka islands within the city. Big Island, Mahpiyata Island and Deering Island are totally surrounded by water. Special problems exist because of their isolated location and because there is no direct access by land or bridge. Transportation is difficult, dangerous and slow, especially in fall or spring when the ice is forming or melting. Engineering, financial, administrative and practical difficulties prevent servicing the islands with sewer or water utilities, garbage collection, or complete police, fire, medical emergency or other municipal services. The islands have historically been used for summer cabins, camping spots, temporary boat landings and a disabled veterans' summer camp. As long as this usage remains minimal, public health and safety is reasonably maintained. But development forecasts indicate increasing pressures for more intensive usage that could easily exceed the city's public service capabilities. For these reasons, the city's comprehensive plans have long-established policies encouraging eventual public ownership of the islands as recreational resources for general lake users. In addition, limited private seasonal recreational use would be allowed to continue indefinitely, subject to strict conformance with special health and safety standards. The RS district is established to implement these special planning policies. (Code 1984, § 10.31(1)) Sec. 78-562. Future amendments. The RS district regulations represent an innovative attempt to solve the unique problems relating to historic use and previously platted substandard lots on the islands while at the same time assuring the property owners of continued reasonable use of their property. It may be found by subsequent city councils that this division was not restrictive enough to protect the health, safety and welfare of the citizens and that new development potential granted to property owners by this division may have to be modified. Therefore, no new development rights granted by this division shall be deemed to be vested property rights but shall remain subject to future modification by the city.
