Henry tluhich, Building & Zoning Administrator, SUBDIVISION
stated that Kern Hoppe, Robert Bathke, and 2608 & 2610 Mapleridge
Christopher Dahl, 2608 & 2610 Mapleridge Lane, Lane
o-re requesting approval of a subdivision
consisting of property line rearrangement. The
existing house is on existing Lot 19. Existing
Lot 8 is unbuildable because placement of a
structure to meet the City setback requirements
(including 75' lakeshore setback) would locate
it within an existing private vision easement
granted to Lot 19. Rearrangement of the lot
lines would protect the lakeshore view of the
existing house while allowing construction of
the proposed residence. Rearrangement would meet
all lot area, width, and setback regulations
on both proposed lots. A private driveway
easement would be required.
About a year ago, Mr. Bathke was denied a variance
from the 75' required setback from the lagoon
on the property. The proposal would provide
adequate area to meet the required setbacks for
a dwelling. The lot area also qualifies. The
lot width, however, would require a variance of
20' as i� would be 120' wide (140' required).
Ilylars and hardshells will be necessary for final
approval. The park dedication fee will also
apply. A public hearing was scheduled for
June 8, 1976. (Continued)

SUBJECT: George Manson - Big Island. Variance.
Lot area - Lakeshore setback ,,...'
Street setback - hardcover restrictions
Mr. Hanson is requesting the above variances to build a new home to replace
the one that was recently completely destroyed by fire on Lot F. This pro-
posal would be on improvement to the previous situation in that the new
location is further from the lakeshore.
There should be some concern of precedence on Big Island, however. Mr.
Hanson also owns lots G and 3 which consist of an additional 17,771 sq. ft.
We could also consider vacating the street if access to other properties
would not be obstructed. The streets consist of an area of approximately
9,000 s-(. ft. If all this area were combined, there would be a total of
approximately 55,000 sq. ft. (87,120 sq. ft. required). We could, however,
maintain the required 75' setback from the shoreline. These are only sug-
gestions since I have never been on the island. A site inspection will be
necessary before determining a reasonable solution.
The builder did indicate that the existing drain field for the septic system
is presently located in the street area.

The City Staff and Council reviewed the COMBINATION OF LOTS
application for Mr. John Pembroke, 4111 Oak 4111 Oak Street
Street, who combined three lots into one. It
was noted that these three lots had one sewer
assessment for the three lots. Staff noted that
because of the availability of municipal sewer,
these lots could be combined into one buildable
lot. If the sanitary sewer had not been available,
these lots would be substandard and therefore
no development could take place thereon. Council -
members noted that this was one of the advantages
of the sanitary sewer pipe as installed for the
substandard lots.
Butler moved, Massengale seconded, to approve
the combination of three lots into one buildable
lot for John Pembroke, 4111 Oak Street. Motion,
Ayes (5) - Nays (0).

by the Lake Minnetonka Association to Mayor ASSOCIATION RESOLUTION
Searles which stated that:
"The undersigned, Richard A. Hassel, Secretary
of the Lake Minnetonka Association, a Minnesota
nonprofit corporation, hereby certifies that the
following resolution was duly adopted by action
of a majority of the directors of the Association
at a meeting held on June 10, 1976:
Resolved: That the Lake Minnetonka Association is
deeply concerned about maintaining adequate water
safety on Lake Minnetonka. At this time, insufficient
funds have been allocated by the Hennepin County
Sheriff's Department in order to continue an adequate
water safety patrol program. In past years, the
Hennepin County Sheriff's Department has taken on
the responsibility of providing, and has in fact
provided, effective water safety activities on Lake
Minnetonka. At the present time, however, this
county program has all but stopped and as a result,
a cz_tical problem in the form of a void of regulating
water safety on Lake Minnetonka has been created.
The result of this void raises fear that the inevitable
result will be personal injury and the possible loss
of life to those persons using Lake Minnetonka.
Therefore, the Board of Directors of the Lake Minnetonka
Association strenouslj encourage the reiristitution
of the Hennepin County Sheriff's Department Water
Patrol on Lake 1-tinnetonka to a strength and level which
will provide effective and efficient water safety
on Lake Minnetonka and, further, the Lake Minnetonka
Association urges the 15 municipalities which are
members of the Lake Minnetonka Conservation District
to support this position in whatever ways may be
within their power.
Executed this loth day of June, 1976."
Mayor Searles stated that he will attend the Medina MOONEY LAKE STUDY
City Council meeting July 6, 1976 and convey to
then Orono's policy concerning the Mooney Lake
study and Orono's action not to participate at
this time.

MINUTES OF A PLANNING CCWISSION MEETING HELD JULY 19, 1976 - PAGE 2
Hank Muhich stated that a meeting had been held earlier today
at the Village Offices between John Holmquist of the Minnehaha
Creek Watershed District; Rod Hillstrom, Ryan Construction;
Rick Sathre, City Engineer; Dick Benson and hank Muhich. The
Minnehaha Creek Watershed District was concerned that the
proposed grading and drainage plan could result in higher rate
and lower quality runoff than now exists. At this meeting, it
was agreed that a french drain system would eliminate this
problem. This system would consist of digging 4-S' trenches
and adding a layer of 3" rock through the lower area under
the surface grating. Quality would be controlled by grading
down to a finer material before going into the storm sewer.
Rod Hillstrom and Frank Zelley of Ryan Construction were
present at the meeting. They submitted a statement regarding
fulfilling M.C.W.D. requirements for the rate and quality of
runoff. They will work with this system and submit for
approval. Hillstrom informed the Commission that there would
be sane water retention on the roof, but only for a short
period of time.
Pesek moved, Guthrie seconded, to approve site plan and
elevation based on the stipulation that it satisfies the
Minnehaha Creek Watershed District and our city engineer
as an adequate filter system. Dunlap suggested that any
erosion problems be corrected as they come up. The Zoning
Administrator informed Ryan Construction and the Commission
that the unpaid sewer and water unit charges assessed against
the property would have to be paid before the building permit
is issued.
John Lambin, contractor, and George Hanson were present.
Lambin presented the plans to the Commission for the con-
struction of a new home. They pleaded hardship to the
land because of an approximate 2S' drop. The:-e was some
discussion regarding moving the street. Dunlap moved,
Pesek seconded, to approve this variance subject to
changes in the plan whereby the two remaining substandard
parcels would be eliminated. Two alternative suggestions
were made:
(1) Move location of unplatted street and combine all
three parcels, or
(2) Grant to the City a conservation easement over the
two substandard lots.
Motion - Ayes (6), Nays (0).
The Zoning Administrator informed the Conmission that
because of the cancellation of the July 6th meeting, he
had conducted a telephone poll of the Council and
Commission Members to get the necessary approval of
this variance. Guthrie moved, Hannah seconded, confirm-
ing the telephone poll which was taken last week by
Flank Muhich and approving the request for variance.

This proposal would be an improvement to the
