Re: Samual A. Mccloud -Big Island
Dear Mr. DeLaittre:
As we have discussed, this letter is to update you on the
incomplete status of our zoning file #889, a lot line
rearrangement subdivision request ~e Nelson and
Jay Smedberg for Big Island Records ~
Enclosed are various i terns of correspondence and Planning
Commission/Council meeting minutes from 1985.
The application is requesting City approval for a split of
the parcel of land, P.I.D. #22-117-23 41 0001, adjacent to Lots 6
through 11, Morse Island Park.
/
Apparently, in 1970, a torrens action resulted in dividing
this parcel into two deeded parcels, the division line being the
extension of the line between Lots 8 and 9. However, that
subdivision required City approval, which had never been applied
for nor granted.
In 1983, the City of Orono rezoned Big Island and defined
"record lots" which recognized historic patterns of use and
ownership, with the intent of keeping substandard, commonly owned
lots permanently in common ownership. Regarding Record Lots fl6
and 22, former City Planner Alan Olson had a number of
conversations with the various members of the Nelson family, and
then determined appropriate combinations of parcels to create
record lots. In 1985, when Eugene Nelson was in the process of
selling R.L. i22 to Mccloud, it became clear that P.I.D. 22-117-
23 41 0001 existed in Hennepin County tax records as one parcel,
not reflecting the torrens action. Therefore, Nelson and
Smedberg (then contract-for-deed owner of Record Lot f16) applied
jointly for a lot line rearrangement/subdivision for tax purposes
to gain City approval of this split:

In reviewing the staff memos and Planning Commission/Council
minutes, I think you will find that Smedberg was less than
cooperative in allowing the subdivision to be completed. While
neither Planning Commission nor Council objected to the division,
Smedberg requested and was granted a tabling of the request for 6
months so he could "research his options" for use of his.
property. This attitude resulted from one caveat of the
subdivision resolution which would require tax combination of all
the parcels within each individual record lot. The application
was tabled on March 25, 1985 and has never been rescheduled for
action. Apparently, Nelson and Mccloud were able to close on
their transaction absent City subdivision approval, and none of
the involved parties have pushed for completion of this
application since that time.
I should note that Mr. Mccloud did return executed
"automatic lot area variance" resolutions to my office on July
26, 1985. Because the subdivision has never been finalized, the
automatic lot area variance forms have never been finalized,
which means that technically no permits can be issued for this
property until a lot area variance is granted and the subdivision
is resolved.
My recommendation to you is as follows:
1. As part of your after-the-fact variance request, you
should request City approval of the automatic lot area
variance resolution, which action was stalled out in 1985.
12. Mr. Mccloud and the current owner of Record Lot 16
should jointly request reopening of the tabled subdivision
application #889, to be reviewed concurrently with the
variance request. For the record, Record Lot 16 also has
never been granted the automatic lot area variance.
Also, be aware that Municipal Zoning Code Section 10.31,
Subdivision 6 (B) disallows issuance of building permits until
the lots have been legally combined for tax purposes. Further,
Section 10.31, Subdivision 12 (D) requires that all seasonal
dwellings over 800 s.f. of floor area be provided with a fully
conforming on-site sewage treatment system. Issuance of an
after-the-fact permit for the room additions will be predicated
on these requirements being met.

Re: Big Island Property (Record Lot #22)
Dear Mr. Mccloud:
This letter is to update you on the action taken by the
Planning Commission and City Counci 1 regarding the subdivision
for tax purposes of the lakeshore strip of property currently
under P.I.D. No. 22-117-23 41 0001 and which was torrensed as two
separate parcels some years ago.
The Plannin9 Commission first reviewed the application on
February 19, 1985. The staff recommendation to the Commission
was approval of the subdivision subject to combination of the
appropriate parcels per the record lot designations described in
the zoning code. Mr. Smedberg, who was present, objected to the
combination requirement. The Planning Commission tabled the item
pending further discussions between staff and the affected pio-
perty owners.
In the ensuing discussions, Smedberg gave the impression he
was mainly concerned with his buildability rights if the property
he is buying was one record lot instead of two, and he would
prefer that Lot C, to the rear, be a separate record lot. He was
informed that under the zoning code if he owns the contiguous
properties, they would be considered in total as one record lot,
hence his rights are not negotiable and are spelled out clearly
in the code. ·
In order to facilitate your anticipated closing, this item
was again brought to the Planning Commission on March 18, with an
outline of the code regulations on Record Lots on Big Island ..
Planning Commission voted 6-0 to recommend approval of the
division subject to combination of the northerly strip with your
Lots 9-10-11 and the southerly strip with Smedbergs Lots 6-7-8.
It is a standard policy of the Planning Commission and Council
when creating small unbuildable parcels as part of a metes-and-
bounds division, to require the resulting parcels to be combined
with the appropriate adjacent parcels.

Again, in order to accommodate your closing, this applica-
tion was brought directly to the Council at their next scheduled
meeting on March 25. Staff recommended approval per the Planning
Commission recommendation. At this meeting, Smedberg stated his
objections to any combination stipulation at this time, feeling
he was being pressured by the City to complete an action he
should be given the appropriate 6-month period to consider.
Staff suggested to Council that the division for tax purposes
could be approved without the combination provisions at this
time, and the 6-month consideration period be granted to each
record lot owner as a separate issue. Council voted 2-1 to table
the application in order to allow Smedberg the 6-month period to
consider whether he would acknowledge the record lot designation,
and then take action on the subdivision and record lot acknow-
ledgements all at once.
I have been requested by Judy Frommes to formally indicate
to you that you have the right to reconstruct or replace your
existing cabin. It is my understanding that you are wi 11 ing to
acknowledge that your Record Lot #22 consists of Lots 9-10-11 and
the lakeshore strip and will agree to the combination of these
parcels and agr~e to the filing of the automatic lot area
variance resolution in the chain of title.
If you do execute these documents, in return the City wi 11
grant you the automatic lot area variance, which effectively
grants you the rights per Section 10.31, Subdivision 6 (F) (copy
attached). Note that the listing for Record Lot #22 includes
P.I.D. No. 23-117-23 32 0019, which is Lot #15, Morse Island
Park, and which former City Planner Alan Olson stated would
become separate Record Lot No. #70. This is still agreeable to
the City, but has not been officially changed in the code because
Mr. Nelson has never returned the paperwork.
I will shortly be forwarding to you copies of the lot
combination request form and the lot are~ variance resolution for
your review, signature, and return. Please contact me if you
have further questions.

RESOLUTION Jay T. Smedberg was present. Assistant Zoning
Administrator Gaffron noted that the Big Island Ordinance
does have some inconsistencies. Gaffron noted that
Smedberg recently purchased the properties owned by Eugene
Nelson. Gaffron noted that this was a division for tax
purposes.
Jay Smedberg asked for extra time to speculate on his options
for the property in question.
Councilmember L. Adams felt that the Council could act on the
application and still allow time for Smedberg to speculate on
his options.
Councilmember Grabek stated that Smedberg's options are
limited anyway in that the entire property, when in common
ownership, can only be one record lot.
Councilmember Grabek moved, Acting Mayor Frahm seconded, to
table the application for 6 months to allow the applicant
ample time to seek his options for the properties in question
and further directed staff to amend the ordinance to
eliminate errors before this item is placed on the agenda.

~LAND RECORD LOTS
SUBDIVISION OF A LOT
LINE REARRANGEMENT
16 & 22
Jay T. Smedberg was present. There was no one pre-
sent from the public for this application.
Assistant Zoning Administrator Gaffron stated that
this matter had been before the Planning Commission
previously. There has been more research done to
find out exactly what the property rights are for Big
Island. This application is a proposal to divide the
long lakeshore strip into two pieces, one that would
be combined with Record Lot No. 22, one that would be
combined with Lot 6, 7 and 8 and Lot C into Record
Lot 16 and that does exist in the zoning code as
Record Lot 16. The question was brought up last time
was why is Lot C inc 1 uded with Record Lot 16, can it
be or why can't it be a separate lot? Gaffron stated
that in Section 10.31 of the code it specifically
deals with future happeni~gs on Record Lots, so that
when a single party becomes owner of adjacent parcels
of land they become, from a zoning definition stand-
point, a Single Record Lot, and that definition does
include parcels that are separated by a platted un-
developed right-of-way.
Rovegno noted that the lot in question is not a
record lot of anything.
Assistant Zoning Administrator Gaffron stated that
there is a mistake in the code, which should be
corrected.
Mr. Smedberg stated that the only request on his
application was getting a separate tax number for the
two pieces of land which are recorded as separate
torrens property.
Assistant Zoning Administrator Gaffron stated that he
agrees that approval of the divisions appropriate,
and delete the condition that Lot C combined as part
of this division. He noted that for about half of
the Big Island record lots, Resolutions have never
been completed, dating back to 1983. He felt that if
we give the applicants 6 months to resolve the paper-
work for the automatic variances, if within 6 months
this has not been completed they would loose the
benefit of the automatic variance and would have to
come in for a variance with the standard fees and
possibly not be granted the variance.

Callahan moved, Kelley seconded, to recommend
approval of the subdivision for Eugene Nelson for
property located on Big Island, Record Lots 16 and
22, as it is requested subject to the following
conditions:
1. Parcel B must be combined with Lots 6, 7 and 8.
2. Paree 1 A must be combined with Lots 9, 10 and 11.
Assistant Zoning Administrator Gaffron stated that
the reason the parcels must be combined in this
manner is that the City will never allow a
subdivision to create a new piece of land that is
unbuildable where there is adjacent property in com-
mon ownership that it is an integral part of. There-
fore, a combination would be required.

no one present from the public for this application.
Assistant Zoning Administrator Gaffron stated that
Mr. Ogland is planning to build on his property, Big
Island -Lots 25 & 26 Morse Island Park, and in
reviewing the file it came to staff's attention that
an illegal deck and small building had been
constructed on the lakeshore sometime between the
Summer of 1982 and September of 1983. (Gaffron pre-
sented teh Planning Commission with photographs of
the decking and shed, originals in Big Island file,
Lot 38.) Gaffron stated these structures were built
without permits. Gaffron noted that Mr. Ogland was
requested to bring this matter in as an after-the-
fact variance application or that he tear it down.
Mr. Ogland stated that one reason the decking was
built was that the shoreline is very steep and muddy.
Mr. Ogland noted that he had tried to plant grass but
the property faces east and nothing would grow. Mr.
Ogland did mention that there is a sand/dirt base
under the deck, thus should not be considered hard-
cover.
Rovegno noted that in other cases where there has
been a problem with a steep shoreline, the City has
approved lock boxes.

Applicant is requesting that a narrow strip of lakeshore
abutting Big Island Record Lots 16 and 22 be formally divided by
the City for tax purposes. The division request is consistent
with and a result of the discussions applicant had with former
City Planner, Alan Olson when the Big Island ordinance was
adopted. This lakeshore strip was somehow divided and torrensed
as two parcels about 1970, but never approved by Orono and never
divided for tax purposes. The City suggested that the applicant
now bring this in for formal approval since he is selling the
involved properties. Please refer to Exhibit D and F.
Record Lot #22 includes Lots 9, 10, and 11 of Morse Island
Park (Parcel Con the survey) and the northerly portion of the
lakeshore strip (Parcel A on the survey). The lot area of Record
Lot #22 is 1.03 acres.
Record Lot #16 includes Lots 6, 7, and 8 and both portions
of Lot C in Morse Island Park, and the southerly portion of the
lakeshore strip (Parcel Bon the survey). The lot area of Record
Lot #16 is about 2.01 acres.
Although not a part of this application, note then that Lot
15, Morse Island Park will become Record Lot #70, and that the
northerly portion of Lot 7, Morse Island Park 2nd Addition, will
become Record Lot #71. Both of these are unbuildable by them-
selves.
This application is serving to tie up some loose ends left
over from the adoption of the RS Zoning District Ordinance. Note
that the ordinance itself includes some errors in that Parcels
1
23-117-23 32 0013, 14, and 15 are included in both Record Lots 16
and 22. We will eventually be filing resolutions in the chain of
title of each of Record Lots 16, 22, 70 and 71 to preclude their
future division and/or alert future buyers of the applicable
development restrictions.
The person who has purchased or will be purchasing Record
Lot #16, Mr. Jay Smedberg, questioned whether Lot C must be
included as part of Record Lot #16. Although the various parcels
making up Record Lot # 16 were previous 1 y owned by Mr. Nelson, his
sister, and his mother, respectively, the Municipal Code clearly
states in Section 10.31, Subdivison 6 (A) that when contiguous
properties become commonly owned, they are by definition hence-
forth considered as a single Record Lot. From a zoning stand-
point Lot C is unquestionably part of Record Lot #16, cannot be a
separate Record Lot by itself, and will be treated as part of
Record Lot #16 regardless of Mr. Smedberg's objections.
As an aside to this subdivision for tax purposes, note that
neither Record Lots 16 or 22 have been formally acknowledged by
the property owner through the automatic variance resolutions and
special combinations. You may recall that in 1983 when the
ordinance was adopted, each Big Island property owner was given 6
months to return the automatic lot area variance and combination
forms. Alan Olson waived this 6 month deadline for Mr. Nelson's
Record Lots 16 and 22 because certain included parcels were of
separate unrelated ownership and later negotiation resulted in an
agreement to create Record Lots 70 and 71 as stated above. It
would be appropriate now that the properties are being sold to
give the owners 6 months to complete the automatic lot area
variance and combination acknowledgements. If they do not
complete this paperwork, after 6 months they would lose the
opportunity to be granted the automatic variance and would have
to file a formal variance application in order to build on these
Record Lots in the future.
Planning Commission recommended approval of this tax sub-
division conditioned on the northerly lakeshore strip (Parcel A)
combining with Lots 9, 10, and 11 (Parcel C); and southerly
lakeshore strip (Parcel B) combining with Lots 6, 7, and 8.
Staff recommends approval of the subdivision per the
attached resolution.

Exhibit J -Minutes, 2/19/85 Planning Commission Meeting
Planning Commission tabled this request at the February
meeting pending further staff discussion with the current and
pending property owners regarding whether Lot C should be or can
be a separate record lot.
A thorough review of the RS Zoning District regulations
reveals that when owned in common with the adjacent Lots 6, 7 and
8, Lot C cannot by code be a separate record lot (see Section
10.31, Subdivision 6 (A), attached}. The original intent in
creating record lots in the RS Zoning District was to recognize
existing ownership and usage patterns. Lots 6, 7 & 8 were
historically owned by the applicants (Eugene Nelson's) sister;
Lot C was owned by his mother~ a cabin exists only on Lot C but
Lots 6, 7 & 8 were used as access to Lot C. Both former City
Planner, Alan Olson and the Nelson family members apparently
agreed that the historical pattern of use was as a single lot,
and in fact that is how the applicant is selling it to Mr.
Smedberg. But Section 10.31 Subdivision 6 (A) clearly states
that when contiguous properties become commonly owned, they by
definition are thenceforth considered as a single record lot.
To quickly capsulize for you the process that was followed
when the RS District was created:
1. The record lot determination, including which parcels
are included in each record lot, became part of the
ordinance creating the zoning district.
1
2. Staff sent to each property owner the following
documents for approval, signature and return:
a) Ordinance Summary
b) Cover Letter
c) Official Record Lot Notice
d) Combined Tax Assessment Request Form
e) Lot Area Variance Resolution
3. When documentation was returned, it was taken to Council
for final approval and filing in title; or
If documentation was not returned by property owner within 6
month deadline, automatic lot area variance was not granted.
Owner would have to apply for lot area variance at such time
any construction was planned on the property and pay the
standard variance application fees. Approximately half of
the record lot resolutions have been finalized to date; a
few have been returned and are await i'n g, submit ta 1 to
Council; many have yet to be returned and finalized.
The process of combining lots that are separated by un-
developed rights-of-way, known as a "Special Lot Combination", is
simply the Record Lot Resolution filed in the chain of title of
the affected properties. The County will not combine the taxes
over the right-of-way in most cases, but for zoning purposes the
record lot is considered combined and portions may not be resold
individually. (Sample resolution -see Exhibit I.)
I suggest you re-read all of Section 10.31, Subdivison 6 as
a review of the Record Lot Area requirements. Note that the code
specifically deals with Mr. Smedberg's problem and that he really
has no choice in whether or not Lot C is part of the record lot
once he is the owner of C and 6, 7 & 8. His only recourse would
be to ask Council to amend the code.
Staff has discussed briefly this division with the applicant
and the realtor involved and has had discussions with Mr.
Smedberg leading to the letter to him (Exhibit G) which I strong-
ly suggest you read as an outline of the action to date on this
property.
My memo of 2/11/85 still stands; staff recommends approval
of the division of the lakeshore strip for future combination
with the respective adjacent properties.
Now, remember that the record lot resolutions not only
restrict the future sale and use of the Big Island properties,
but they grant an automatic lot area variance for those record
lots which are buildable but substandard in size. Since the
deadline for completion of the required acknowledgments and
paperwork was rescinded in this case, it is appropriate that we
now require the applicant and/or the future property owners to
complete the record lot paperwork within 6 months or lose the
benefit of the automatic lot variance.

PUBLIC HEARING
7:56 -8:16 PM Eugene Nelson was not present. J. T. Smedberg was present to
represent his interest in the subject property. Zoning
Administrator Mabusth noted the certificate of mailing and
the affidavit of publication. Mabus th noted that this
application is to formally divide a strip of lakeshore on Big
Island for tax purposes. Mabusth stated that this
subdivision is serving to tie up some loose ends created in
1970 when the registered land was divided without City
approval.
J.T. Smedberg stated that Orono made this proposal a few
years ago to Eugene Nelson and Nelson never responded.
Smedberg noted that the property at that time was owned by
three different persons. Smedberg noted that the RS Zoning
District was created for seasonal use and were grouped
together according to family ownership. Smedberg stated
that Nelson's sister owned some of the property and then he
bought the property from Eugene Nelson.
Chairman Callahan closed the public hearing at 8:16 p.m.
Sime felt that he could not act on the application tonight
because of the misunderstandings between applicant, new
owner, and staff.
Sime moved, Taylor seconded, to table Nelson's lot line
rearrangement application in order to allow time for staff to
work with new owner and applicant. Motion, Ayes (5), Nays
( 0 ) •
Planning Commission asked staff to submit a report
concerning the RS Zoning District on Big Island and the
intent of such ordinance along with the separation of
ownership by right-of-way (roads) on Big Island.

PUBLIC HEARING
9: 50 9: 58 PM Zoning Administrator Mabus th noted the affidavit of
publication. Mabusth explained the the Department of
Natural Resources (DNR) has setforth different setback
standards for specific lakes and a drainageway within the
City.
Rovegno asked staff to find where it requires the City to
adopt the DNR's regulations.

Mr. Jay T. Smedberg
P.O. Box 590
Excelsior, MN 55331
Dear Mr. Smedberg:
CITY of ORONO
Post Office Box 66 • Crystal Bay, Minnesota 55323 • Municipal Offices
On the North Shore of Lake Minnetonka
Re: Big Island Property
Having had discussions with you, with Eugene Nelson, and with
Judy Frommes of Century 21, it appears necessary to review the
history of the Big Island property and reiterate the City's
position on Record Lot #16.
1. After the RS Seasonal Recreational zoning regulations were
established on December 30, 1982, a letter was sent to Mrs.
H.R. Nelson, Mrs. Victoria Arneson, and Vivian Nelson (the
first two living at the same address) dated February 15,
1983, informing them of the proposed Record Lot deter-
mination. At that initial contact, Record Lot #16 was
considered to include Lots 6, 7, and 8, Morse Island Park
(owned by Victoria Arneson); plus all of Lot C, Morse Island
Park (owned by Mrs. H.R. Nelson); plus half of Lot 7, Morse
Island Park Second Addition (owned by Vivian Nelson). No
portion of lakeshore property was included in Record Lot #16
since the abutting lakeshore strip was owned by Eugene Nelson
as part of Record Lot #22.
2. On March 27, 1983, City Planner Alan Olson discussed the
record lot determination with Victoria Arneson. She stated
that she had no problem with combination of her lots with her
mother's lot (Lot C) as long as she couuld still build on her
Lots 6, 7 and 8. Victoria and Alan agreed that the most
likely location for a new cabin would be on Lots 6, 7, and 8
rather than at the site of the old cabin on Lot C. Alan
noted that under the combined Record Lot #16, a new cabin
could be built on Lots 6, 7, and 8 and at the time the
building permit is requested, a decision would have to be
made whether to keep the old cabin on Lot Casa guest house
or tear it down.

3. On May 17, 1983, Alan Olson sent a letter to Victoria Arneson
and Mrs. R.R. Nelson regarding the unique aspects of Record
Lot #16. A copy of that letter is attached. The main points
of the letter are:
a) The record lot as originally defined consists of 2.16 dry
acres, contains one cabin, has historically been used as
a single building site, and was therefore defined as a
single record lot in the ordinance.
b) Because of the separate ownership by related persons, the
option was open at that time to list the separate
portions as separate record lots. However, Alan strongly
recommended that the combined record lot option appeared
to most closely fit the needs of the owners and the
City's planning purposes.
Resolutions for the combined option were included with the
letter. They were never returned. The letter also rescinded
the July 1, 1983, deadline for completing the resolution
forms, but did not set a new deadline.
4. On July 27, 1983, Alan Olson had a discussion with Eugene
Nelson regarding Record Lots #16 and #22, noting the two
separate torrens certificates for the lakeshore strip, and
stating that the half of Lot 7 Morse Island Park Second
Addition, should be a separate record lot. He also brought
up the possibility of the Park Reserve District acquiring a
portion of Lot C. (This never came to fruition.) At this
point Alan expect~d Eugene to send the torrens certificates
to the City for verification, and to send in the signed
revised resolutions and combination forms for both Record
Lots #16 and 22. We received the torrens certificates but
not the signed resolutions.
5. Upon Alan's resignation in September, 1983, he left staff an
update memo on the current status of the Big Island record
lots. The portion of this memo dealing with Record Lots 16
and 22 is attached.
6. Since no action had been taken by the City or the propoerty
owners, when Gene Nelson finally decided to sell the
properties off in 1984, I was contacted by Judy Frommes
regarding the two record lots, and I sent a letter regarding
Record Lot #22 to the purchaser, Mr. Samuel A. Mccloud, on
November 28, 1984; and sent a letter to Frommes regarding
Record Lot #16 on December 5, 1984.
Based on the information in our files, and from my discussions
with the people involved, the following is my understanding of
the current situation:
1. The existing ordinance includes Lots 6, 7, and 8 and Lot C of
Morse Island Park, and half of Lot 7, Morse Island Park
Second Addition, as Record Lot #16.
Mr. Jay T. Smedberg
Page 3
March 8, 1985
2. Eugene Nelson and his relatives never have formally resolved
the record lot status of this or the Mccloud property.
3. Since half of Lot 7 Morse Island Park Second Addition is
separated by a roadway from your property, is not involved in
your purchase agreement, and is owned by a separate party,
the City will agree to designating it as a separate
unbuildable record lot.

5. Section 10.31, Subdivision 6(A) of the Municipal Zoning Code
defines the "record lot" in the Seasonal Recreation District,
and specifically requires that when contiguous or abutting
property (including properties separated _ey unimproved
rights-of-way) are owned in common or become owned in common,
they shall in total become a single record lot. A copy of
this section is enclosed for your reference.
Therefore, although I may have indicated to you over the phone
last week that there might be some leeway in considering Lot C as
a separate record lot, there is no question that when Lot C and
Lots 6, 7, and 8 are all owned by you, they are considered as a
single record lot and may never be sold separately without City
Council approval under specified conditions [Section 10.31,
Subdivision 6(C)}.
Presuming the City approves the subdivision of the lakeshore
strip, your Record Lot #16 will include the southern portion of
the lakeshore strip and Lots 6, 7, and 8 and C of Morse Island
Park. In order to receive benefits of the automatic lot area
variance granted per Section 10.31, Subdivision (6)(F), you will
have to acknowledge the record lot on a form provided by the City
and apply for a combination of all separate tax parcels per
Section 10.31, Subdivision 6(B). We will extend the deadline for
execution of these documents to September 15, 1985. If you have
not returned them by that date, no automatic variance is granted
and you will have to make a formal variance application to the
Council (current fee is $150) in order to construct a new cabin
anywhere on the property.
By completing the automatic lot area variance forms, you maintain
your right to repair, expand, or replace the existing cabin. If
at some future date you wish to build a new cabin and retain the
old one as a guest house, a conditional use permit would be
required.
Mr. Jay T. Smedberg

March 8, 1985
In summary, the properties you are buying will be considered as
one record lot, may not be sold off separately without Council
action, and you have six (6) months to acknowledge this formally
or lose the benefits of the automatic lot area variance. Please
contact me as soon as possible if you have any questions. I am
recommending to the Planning Commission that they recommend
approval of the lakeshore strip subdivision subject to all
property owners involved being given six (6) months to complete
the automatic variance paperwork or lose the opportunity to be
granted the automatic variance.
As soon as the subdivision is approved by Council, we will draft
the proper automatic variance and lot combination documents for
signature by the respective property owner(s). Please call me if
you have any questions.

§ 10.31
G. Permit Limitations. A permit issued under this
Subdivision shall not grant or vest any property rights to use of
the public right-of-way or other public property, or in any
improvements made thereto. Permits issued under this Subdivision
shall be valid for one year, shall be subject to change, alteration
or revocation for cause by the Council at any time, and shall be
automatically renewable on the anniversary of the date of issuance
except upon written notice from the City to the permittee at least
thirty days prior to the anniversary date.
H. Hold Harmless. As a condition of issuance of
any permit, the applicant shall in writing release, indemnify and
hold harmless the City from any and all claims or causes of action
arising out of the use or alteration of the platted right-of-way by
applicant or his invitees.
I. Permit Hearing and Noti-ce. The Planning
Commission or the Council shall hold a public hearing or hearings
on ·each application for a permit. Notice of the public hearing
shall be given not less than ten days or more than thirty days
prior to the date of the hearing by publication in the legal
newspaper for the City. Such notice shall contain the description
of the land and the proposed use. At least ten days before the
hearing, the City Clerk shall mail an identical notice to the
applicant and to each of the property owners within 350 feet of the
outside boundaries of the land in question. Failure of the
property owners to receive notice shall not invalidate the
proceedings. At the public hearing, the Planning Commission or the
Council shall review the application and the statements and
drawings submitted therewith and shall receive pertinent evidence
concerning the proposed use and the proposed conditions under which
it would be operated or maintained.
Subd. 6. Lot Area Requirements. Within any "RS"
Seasonal Recreational District, no new lot or parcel shall be
created less than 5.0 acres in dry buildable lot area exclusive of
any designated wetlands. Within any "RS" Seasonal Recreational
District, the following provisions shall govern the buildabili ty,
use and/or subdivision of each existing record lot as defined and
identified therein:
A. Record Lot Definition. For purposes of the "RS"
Seasonal Recreational District, a "record lot" shall mean all the
contiguous or abutting land owned in common by the same person or
persons as of November 9, 1981, or at any time such common
ownership may occur thereafter, including one or more separately
platted lots or unplatted parcels of land, and/or one or more
separately identified tax parcels. Because of the unique
circumstances and actual use patterns existing on the islands, also
included within the definition of a "record lot" is commonly-owned
land that is contiguous except for being separated only by platted
ORONO CC 313 (4-1-84)
§ 10. 31
unopened public right-of-way. Each record lot as defined and
identified herein shall be considered in its entirety to be one lot
for zoning purposes.
1. The effective date for determination of
common ownership is November 9, 1981, the date of adoption of
Ordinance No. 238 establishing a moratorium on development,
including land subdivision, on the Lake Minnetonka Islands. Common
ownership as of that date has been and shall be determined by the
deeds of record at the Hennepin County Recorder's Office. This
definition shall not preclude the City from recognizing or
enforcing the common ownership/lot of record provisions of
Ordinance No. 172, or any other similar prior ordinance.
2. The Council has identified and hereby
establishes 69 record lots on Big Island, Mahpiyata Island and
Deering Island as listed by Record Lot Number in the left-hand
column of Subparagraphs D, E, F and G of this Subdivision. Each
such record lot shall include all land identified by all tax parcel
property identification numbers (PID's) grouped together following
the Record Lot Number.
3. Within sixty days after adoption of this
Section, the owner of each record lot shall be notified in writing
at his last recorded address of the classification of each record
lot, including all tax parcels determined to be included in such
record lot. All existing uses in the "RS" District are identified
in the Record Lot Inventory, Subparagraphs D, E, F and G of this
Subdivision, and all such uses have been deemed to be seasonal in
nature. The notice shall provide that in order to receive the~
benefits of the automatic lot area variances granted by X
Subparagraphs F and Hof this Subdivision, the owner shall on a
form provided by the City acknowledge the record lot and shall
apply for combination of all separate tax parcels pursuant to
Subparagraph B of this Subdivision. Any record lot owner may
appeal the record lot classification or use determination to the
Council with no application fee required within six months of the
effective date of this Section. The Record Lot Inventory shall be
considered accurate and final for all properties except those found
on appeal to have a demonstrable cause for change or adjustment.
4. Notice of record lot establishment as
determined herein shall be filed by the City in the chain of title
of each property.
5. Future changes in tax parcel property
identification numbers caused by combination of parcels for tax
purposes or for any other reason shall not alter the establishment
of record lots listed hereinafter. New record lots shall be
created only by Council approved subdivisions pursuant to
Subparagraph C of this Subdivision, or by combination of two or
more complete record lots listed hereinafter.
ORONO CC 314 (4-1-84)
§ 10. 31
B. Tax Parcel Combination Required. No new
building permit, variance or conditional use permit shall be issued
for any purpose on any record lot composed of two or more tax
parcels unless or until the owner of such record lot shall apply
for a formal combination of all commonly-owned property into one
parcel. If contiguous, all property shall be combined into one tax
parcel. If separated by public right-of-way, a special lot
combination form shall be executed and filed in the chain of title
of each separate parcel.
C. Subdivision of Record Lots. All record lots
established in this Subdivision shall be continued in common L
ownership and shall not be subdivided, sold in parts, reduced in X
area, leased or otherwise separated without application for and
Council approval of a "subdivision" in accordance with the
Subdivision Regulations Chapter. Such subdivisions will normally
be approved and additional new record lots created only if all
resulting lots are each 5.0 acres of dry-buildable lot area or
more. No existing record lot shall be divided or reduced in area
to less than 5.0 acres of dry-buildable lot area, except as
follows:
1. Lot line rearrangements between abutting
properties that do not create an additional building site will
normally be approved.
2. Separation of platted lots divided by
public rights-of-way may be approved provided the separated lot is
combined with other abutting property to enlarge said property
without necessarily creating an additional substandard building
site.
D. Subdividable Record Lot Inventory. The
following record lots are hereby established, each of which is
determined to have a dry-buildable lot area in excess of 10.0 acres
per owner. Therefore, each of the following record lots may be
subdivided into two or more lots in conformance with the minimum
lot area requirements of this Subdivision subject to subdivision
application and approval pursuant to Subparagraph C of this
Subdivision and to the Subdivision Regulations Chapter. Record
lots are identified by Record Lot Number, and each includes all
property identified thereafter by the listed tax parcel property
identification numbers:

Dear Islaad Landowner:
CITY of-ORONO
Post Office Box 66 • Crystal Bay, Minnesota 55323 • Municipal Offices
On the North Shore of Lake Minnetonka
<JC
The purpose of this letter is to provide you with information regarding
the recent zoning changes on Big Island, and how these changes may
affect your property.
The new RS Seasonal Recreational zoning regulations were established
by City Council adoption of Ordinance #246 on December 30, 1982. This
action also ended the development moratorium that had been in effect
since November 9, 1981.
A summary of the ordinance is attached. If you are interested, a
complete text of the ordinance is also available for a nominal charge
of $3.00 to defer printing and mailing costs.
Your property is identified in the ordinance by the Record Lot Number
shown above and on the attached blue page. This identification is part
of a special section that inventories lot by lot the ownership patterns
and existing uses of island property. Based on this record, the ordinance
then "grand fat he r s'" bu i 1 ding right s for these Record Lo t s by making them
eligible for lot area variances. This means that for the first time
even if your lot is less than f~ve acres (or two acres under the previous
ordinance) that you may now build a new seasonal cabin, or if you already
have a cabin,that it may continue to be used, improved, added-onto or
replaced with a new cabin, subject to building permits and setback
regulations, etc., but without questioning its use for building purposes,
and without requiring any special City Council review.
In order for you to automatically receive the benefits of the lot area
variance, you should review and complete the following before July 1,
1983: l
1. Please verify the Record Lot information on the attached blue page
and notify the City if there is a problem or a change.

2. If the Record Lot information is complete, please sign, have
notarized and return the white Variance Resolution. State law
requires that all zoning variances be recorded with the County
Recorder in resolution form. Returning this resolution is optional,
but if you choose not to do so, you may be required to pay a fee
and file a formal variance application in the future if you ever
plan to do any building on the property. There is no fee for having
this automatic variance recorded at this time.
3. If your Record Lot consists of two or more separate tax parcels, a
green form for requesting a combined assessment is enclosed. Please
sign and return this to the City to allow your tax records to be
changed into one parcel consistent with the zoning and to assure
the most favorable tax rate possible.
·/4. A conditional use permit issued by the City Council is required
for certain land uses in the RS District, including the following
residential uses:
a) If you use or have used your cabin FOR MORE THAN 180 DAYS/YEAR.
b) If you have MORE THAN ONE CABIN on your property.
Refer to the enclosed yellow sheet for a definition of these uies
including a description of when a special permit is or is not required.
If you wish to apply for a permit, mark the yellow page and return it
to the City. We will send you_ the appropriate application form by
return mail. ,
A postage-paid envelope is enclosed for your use in returning the above
forms to the City. If you have any questions about this, please call
Alan Olson or Jeanne Mabusth at 473-7357.
On behalf of the City Council and Planning Commission, I want to take
this opportunity to thank each and everyone of you whose interest and
pa~ticipation this past year has helped so much in the completion of
this planning process. I have certainly enjoyed meeting all of you and
learning so much about your island. I hope this last step can be kept
as· simple as possible so that your property rights can be correctly
recorded for your future benefit.

APPROVING A LOT AREA VARIANCE FOR RECORD LOT NO lb
PURSUANT TO ORDINANCE N0.246, SECTION 34.366
BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of Orono, Hennepin County, Minnesota:
FINDINGS
1. That __ -----,-___________________________ is (are) the
owner(s)/taxpayer(s) of record of the following described property
located within the RS Seasonal Recreational Zoning District of the
City:
Lots 6, 7, & 8 and Lot C, Morse Island Park; and the north
one-half of Lot 7, Morse Island Park, Second Addition,
Hennepin County, Minnesota
2. That in adoption of Ordinance No. 246, the City Council reviewed
ownership, development ~nd use patterns on the islands and has
determined that all the above described property combined is and
shall hereinafter and henceforth be one "RECORD LOT" as defined
in Section 34.366 of said ordinance.
3. That all the above described property when combined as one RECORD
LOT is still less than the minimum lot size required for new lots
in the RS District, but that this RECORD LOT is being used and/or
may be used in the future for any permitted use in the RS District
without adverse affect upon public health, safety, or welfare.
CONCLUSION
The City Council of Orono hereby grants a lot area variance to the above
described RECORD LOT based on the above findings and subject to the
following Condit~ons:
1. This RECORD LOT including all the above described property combined
shall henceforth be continued in common ownership by the same person
or persons even if recorded as separate lots or tax parcels, and it
shall not be subdivided, sold in parts, reduced in area or otherwise
separated without application for and approval of a subdivision by
the City. This condition shall not preclude future sale or transfer
of the complete "RECORD LOT" as a single unit.
2 . Granting this variance means this RECORD LOT may be used for one-
family seasonal recreational use without a structure; or a single
new seasonal dwelling may be built; or.an existing seasonal dwelling
may be used, improved, added-onto or replaced; all without requiring
further City Council review of lot size, but subject to strict comp-
liance with all building permit, setback, hardcover, on-site sewage
treatment and other performance standards for development in the
RS District.

3. Granting this variance shall not vest any rights in the property
other than as specifically provided in Ordinance No. 246, and shall
not preclude a future City Council from amending, modifying or other-
wise limiting development rights and/or performance standards in the
RS District.
4. The undersigned has read and understood the terms of this resolution
and on behalf of himself, his heirs, successors and assigns, agrees
that the above described property constitutes a single RECORD LOT;
agrees that the RECORD LOT use may be so limited by the City; and
agrees to the recording of this resolution in the chain of title of
the property.

EUGENE NELSON
BIG ISLAND RECORD LOT #16 & 22
LOT LINE REARRANGEMENT
SUBDIVISION
PUBLIC HEARING
7: 56 -8: 16 PM Eugene Nelson was not present. J. T. Smedberg was present to
represent his interest in the subject property. Zoning
Administrator Mabusth noted the certificate of mailing and
the affidavit of publication. Mabusth noted that this
application is to formally divide a strip of lakeshore on Big
Island for tax purposes. Mabusth stated that this
subdivision is serving to tie up some loose ends created in
1970 when the registered land was divided without City
approval.
J.T. Smedberg stated that Orono made this proposal a few
years ago to Eugene Nelson and Nelson never responded.
Smedberg noted that the property at that time was owned by
three different persons. Smedberg noted that the RS Zoning
District was created for seasonal use and were grouped
together according to family ownership. Smedberg stated
that Nelson's sister owned some of the property and then he
bought the property from Eugene Nelson.
Chairman Callahan closed the public hearing at 8:16 p.m.
Sime felt that he could not act on the application .tonight
because of the misunderstandings between applicant, new
owner, and staff.
Sime moved, Taylor seconded, to table Nelson's lot line
rearrangement application in order to allow time for staff to
work with new owner and applicant. Motion, Ayes (5), Nays
( 0 ) .
Pl~nning Commission isked staff to submit a report
concerning the RS Zoning District on Big Island and the
intent of such ordinance along with the separation of
ownership by right-of-way (roads) on Big Island.

Applicant is requesting that a narrow strip of lakeshore
abutting Big Island Record Lots 16 and 22 be formally divided by
the City for tax purposes. The division request is consistent
with and a result of the discussions applicant had with former
City Planner, Alan Olson when the Big Island ordinance was
adopted. This lakeshore strip was somehow divided and torrensed
as two parcels about 1970, but never approved by Orono and never
divided for tax purposes. The City suggested that the applicant
now bring this in for formal approval since he is selling the
involved properties. Please refer to Exhibits D and F.
Record Lot #22 includes Lots 9, 10, and 11 of Morse Island
Park (Parcel Con the survey) and the northerly portion of the
lakeshore strip (Parcel A on the survey). The lot area of Record
Lot #22 is 1.03 acres.
Record Lot #16 includes Lots 6, 7 and 8 and both portions of
Lot C in Morse Island Park, and the southerly portion of the
lakeshore strip (Parcel Bon the survey). The lot area of Record

RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL
NO. _______ _
APPROVING A LOT AREA VARIANCE FOR RECORD LOT N0-2Q__
PURSUANT TO ORDINANCE N0.246, SECTION 34.366
BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of Orono, Hennepin County, Minnesota:
1.
FINDINGS
That is (are) the ------------------------------0 w n er (s) /taxpayer (s) of record of the fallowing described property
located within the RS Seasonal Recreational Zoning District of the
City:
(See attached Exhibit A)
2. That in adoption of Ordinance No. 246, the City Council reviewed
ownership, development and use patterns on the islands and has
determined that all the above described property combined is and
shall hereinafter and henceforth be one "RECORD LOT" as defined
in Section 34.366 of said ordinance.
3. That all the above described property when combined as one RECORD
LOT is still less than the minimum lot size required for new lots
in the RS District, but that this RECORD LOT _is being used and/or
may be used in the future for any permitted u~e in the RS District
without adverse affect upon public health, safety, or welfare.
CONCLUSION
The City Council of Orono hereby grants a lot area variance to the above
described RECORD LOT based on the -above findings and subject to the
following Conditions:
1. This RECORD LOT including all the above described property combined
shall henceforth be continued in common ownership by the same person
or persons even if recorded as separate lots or tax parcels, and it
shall not be subdivided, sold in parts, reduced in area or otherwise
separated without application for and approval of a subdivision by
the City. This condition shall not preclude future sale or transfer
of the complete "RECORD LOT" as a single unit.
2. Granting this variance means this RECORD LOT may be used for one-
family seasonal recreational use without a structure; or a single
new seasonal dwelling may be built; or an existing seasonal dwelling
may be used, improved, added-onto or replaced; all without requiring
further City Council review of lot size, but subject to strict comp-
liance with all building permit, setback, hardcover, on-site sewage
treatment and other performance standards for development in the
RS District.
PAGE 2; RECORD LOT NO. : RESOLUTION NO. ---------
3. Granting this variance shall not vest any rights in the property
other than as specifically provided in Ordinance No. 246, and shall
not preclude a future City Council from amending, modifying or other-
wise limiting development rights and/or performance standards in the
RS District.
4. The undersigned has read and understood the terms of this resolution
and on behalf of himself, his heirs, successors and assigns, agrees
that the above described property constitutes a single RECORD LOT;
agrees that the RECORD LOT use may be so limited by the City; and
agrees to the recording of this resolution in the chain of title of
the property.

Re: Big Island Record Lot #16
--Dear Ms. Frommes:
It is the City's understanding that the property known as Record Lot
#16, which is now being sold, will not include half of Lot 7, Morse
Island Park Second Addition (P.I.D. #23-117-23-32-0044). This
situation is agreeable to the City, with the understanding that this
0.15 acre parcel will be recognized with a new record lot number by
itself and will henceforth be considered as a substandard unbuildable
lot per Zoning Code Section 10.31, Subd 6(g).
Record Lot #16 will then include the following parcels:
PID Number
23-117-23-32-0001
23-117-23-32-0002
23-117-23-32-0010

Description
Part of Lot C, Morse Island Park
Remainder of Lot C, Morse Island Park
Lot 6, Morse Island Park
Lot 7, Morse Island Park
Lot 8, Morse Island Park
In addition, once the formal subdivision has been approved by the City
of Orono, Record Lot #16 will also include the portion of the lakeshore
strip (P.I.D #22-117-23-41-0001) located adjacent to Lots 6, 7 and 8.

I am forwarding to you the following documents:
1. Lot Combination Request Form. This is to combine the
property for tax purposes. It is likely that the two parcels
comprising Lot C will be combined, and that Lots 6, 7 and 8 will be
combined, resulting in two tax statements. It is unlikely that
the County will combine across the right-of-way unless a street
vacation is approved by the City. It is also unlikely that the
County will combine Lots 6, 7 and 8 with the lakeshore strip
unless approval of both school districts is granted. I would
suggest you consider the possibility of a street vacation ( there
may be objections by the power or phone company) and not bother with
the school districts.
2. Lot Area Variance Form -Standard resolution form. This will
be recorded in the chain of title of the affected properties.
There is no charge for this variance application.
3. Subdivision Application Form -In order to divide the
lakeshore strip, a formal metes and bounds subdivision for tax
purposes must be approved by the City.
4. Street Vacation Application Form.
Suggested order of procedure:
1. Apply for the subdivision of the lakeshore strip.
* 2. Apply for street vacation of the portion of "Moslin Avenue"
between Lot C and the other affected lots ( 6, 7 and 8), (perhaps Mr.
Mccloud would join in the vacation of the portion along his Lots 9,
10 and 11). , On the face of it, I don't know that the City would
object to vacating this roadway, but the Big Island neighbors
might.
* 3. Apply to both school districts to have their boundary moved so
that the lakeihore strips can be combined for tax purposes with
their adjacent lots.
4. Once the above i terns are complete, return the signed lot area
variance forms and the signed lot combination forms to the City.
*NOTE: We consider Steps 2 and 3 as optional based on the whims of your
client(s).
Please contact me if you have further questions.

RE: Big Island Record Lot No. 16
Dear Mrs. Arneson and Mrs. Nelson,
Enclosed is an information packet on your Big Island property as
sent to all owners on the island. The purpose of this is to inform
you about the new zoning ordinance adopted last December, and to
record information about your property to ensure that your building
rights are protected to the fullest intent of the ordinance.
I apologize for the delay in getting this inforrnaiton to you. One
reason for the delay is that your property as identified by this
Record Lot is unusual in several respects. I want to be sure that
you understand what the ordinance says and what options you have
available.
'~he basic intent of the ordinance was to protect and preserve the
existing lots with cabins on them, and to allow creation of new
building sites only on lots of 5 acres or more in area. This
Record Lot totals 2.16 acres of dry land (plus 1.25 acres of wetland)
and has one cabin on it, so it has been defined as one building site
in the ordinance.
What makes your land unusual is the related ownership and use patterns
that tie together separate parcels owned by three persons:
1. The cabin is located on inland property listed to
Mrs. H. R. Nelson. This could be a separate record
lot except that access from the lake to the cabin
runs thru the Arneson lots.
2. The vacant hillside listed to Victoria Arneson totals
about 0.65 acre, which in itself is small to be con-
sidered an additional building site. But this is the
ideal spot to put up a new cabin to replace the old
one on the back lot. This could be considered a
separate record lot because of the separate ownership
if you want it to be.

ASSESS INC

Mrs. H. R. Nelson
May 17, 1983
3. The last piece is 1/2 of lot 7 listed to Vivian J.
Nelson. This is only 0.15 acre in area and land-
locked. It could be listed as a separate record
lot, but would never be separately buildable. By
including this in the one record lot some additional
lot area credit is gained without loosing any build-
ing rights.
YOUR OPTIONS
A. You may choose to have the H.R. Nelson and V. Arneson lots listed
as two separate record lots instead of one. This would recognize the
two separate owners even though you are related and living at the same
address.
B. You may choose to have the H.R. Nelson and V. Arneson lots listed
as one combined record lot, (with or without the V. Nelson 1/2 lot)
which is the way the ordinance provides now. I think this is the way
you view the property now. This would still provide three ways of
handling the cabin:
1. Keep using the existing cabin as is;or
2. Replace the existing cabin with a new one located anywhere
on the combined property, and without requiring any additional
variance procedure with the city (this is what the attached
resolution is for); or
3. You could also apply for a guest cabin permit that would allow
you to build a new cabin on the front lot and retain the old
one as a guest cabin for occassional use. This decision
doesn't have to be made now but only at the time you might
consider building a new cabin.
All things considered including your phone call to me last March,
I think that Option B(the one combined record lot)will best serve both
your needs and the citys' planning purposes.
IF YOU AGREE WITH OPTION B, please sign, have notarized and return the
white variance resolution (form #2) with the signatures of both Mrs.
H. R. Nelson and Victoria Arneson. The signature of Vivian J. Nelson
and inclusion of her 1/2 lot is optional. Also then have the same
persons sign and return the green lot combination form #3.
IF YOU WANT TO HAVE THE H.R. NELSON AND ARNESON LOTS LISTED SEPARATELY,
please call or write to let me know and I will have some revised forms
made up for your signature.
Don't worry about the July 1, 1983 deadline indicated on the forms.
Since this notice to you is late, the July deadline will not apply.
Please consider this carefully and give me a call if you have any
questions.
Thank you for your assistance.
