LAKE MINNETONKA CONSERVATION DISTRICT UPDATES The City Council held a work session with LMCD representative Rich Anderson to review LMCD roles, current initiatives, and priority issues. Mr. Anderson explained LMCD's main purpose, which is responsibility for docks and on -water safety and identified implementing a watercraft rental licensing program as a key priority. LMCD expanded the quiet water buffer to 300-feet in 2023, added additional safety patrol presence through their "Red Carpet Safety" program, and installed solar -lit buoys. Discussion also included aquatic management topics like carp bow -fishing coordination (calendar, operating expectations, and cleanup responsibilities), LMCD's support of lake improvement districts (LIDS), as well as financial challenges at LMCD related to an added leadership position. ADJOURNMENT Work session ended at 5:57 p.m. ATTEST: CITY COUNCIL Christine Lusian, City Clerk Bob Tunheim, Mayor 7 WORK SESSION AGENDA: LMCD REP Submitted by LMCD Rep Rich Ar co on 1. Introductions Feb 9, 2026 Page 1 of 2 • Your rep for 6 years • I have missed 3 meetings in those 6 years • 1 have served on 5 of the 6 steering committees: Plus side work groups and attended every meeting o Rental Boats work group (Gabriel) o New buoys work group (Gabriel) • As Treasurer, I set in motion that basically saved us $66,000 over the last few years • Sold the Harvesters • Initiated and researched the New 300' quiet Water buffer zone on the lake and got it adopted as law and increased the quiet waters on Tonka from 150'-300' • Raised monies for the Water Patrol independently of Save the Lake along with Gabriel we raised $78,250 to continue a "Red Carpet" safety program on the lake • Came up with a new bracketing system for the Solar Lights and house the LMCD power Boat and have installed and retrieved lights for the past years 2. Review of what the LMCD is and does. • The LMCD has established the lane of what it does: Docks and Safety (water patrol, Night time Solar Lighting of the buoys) • However, forever mission creeping and not staying on predetermined lane and trying to be relevant 3. LMCD update- recent activities/ initiatives • As mentioned, continuing the 300' quiet water buffer from shore and has been given strong praise from the Water Patrol • An ill -hiring of a new Executive Director: My Opinion and I hope to prove out to my fellow board members • An increase of levy to the cities from $255,000 to $375,000 dollars: Can go Max to $900+ and split up and we are second highest contributor • AND more to come as an extra staff, Executive Director, going to be shortfall going forward 4. Rental licensing • Job #1 in my opinion is to initiate a rental agreement similar to rental agreements for houses, VRBO's, etc in Orono already • 1 have recently sent the agreement Mound has for a cut and paste (maybe(?)) that totally controlled their abuse launch ramp and unfortunately made ours Chaotic 5. Wake Boats • 1 have been involved in the education of Wake Surf Issues since day 1 • Teamed up with then commander of the Water Patrol, Shane Magsuson, to initiate the "Own Your Wake" concept with literature and videos, and finally got the LMCD to adopt the concept and finally put it on the Website • See note from Water Patrol on this subject 6. Invasives / LIDs... • The LMCD has not put any money in the budget for AlS: Because they are not good at it 1. They failed at keeping Milfoil out of the Lake, Zebra Mussels out of the Lake, Spreading Flowering Rush on the lake with their harvesting Program.... LMA is the steward in this area • LIDS: In Favor and I think the proof is in the results and homeowners support financially 7. Questions and Answers: Independent Canvasinq from the Water Patrol on this subject 2023= This was the first year and our records did not differentiate between quiet waters and 300' violations. But we did not write any citations. We only educated. 2024 • 1 arrest (PWC) • 5 citations (PWC) • 56 verbal warnings (PWC) • 111 verbal warnings (Watercraft - all types, not just wake boats) we don't document the type of boat on verbal warnings 2025 • 1 arrest (PWC) • 3 citations (PWC) • 48 verbal warnings (PWC) • 34 verbal warnings (Watercraft - all types, not just wake boats) we don't document the type of boat on verbal warnings As you can see, we don't see an issue with wake boats surfing close to shore. We wrote ZERO -citations for this. I don't have the data on type of boat for verbal warnings, but I can tell you that the problem is not wake boats and surfing too close to shore. The problem is PWC's, rental boats and pleasure boats cruising the shoreline. As far as a depth limit, that would be almost impossible for us to enforce. It would be a litigation nightmare as well.

Background: On November 24, 1997, the Drug/Felony Forfeiture Fund (231) was established to track cash and property seized relating to drug and/or felony type criminal activity, donations received specifically for the police department, or such other revenues as appropriate and authorized.

Page 3 of 3 38 AGENDA ITEM Date: February 23, 2026 Title: Purchase Capital Equipment - Pressure Washer System Presenter: Brent Weldon Section: Consent Agenda Item: 9 Purpose: To replace the City's existing 1991 Hotsy pressure washer and improve operational safety and deployment efficiency through a dedicated roll -off mounted hot-water pressure washer unit. 2. Background: The City's current hot-water pressure washer (Asset ID 715, Hotsy Model 750A, 1991) is 34 years old and has accumulated approximately 185,575 hours. The unit has lost more than 50% of its rated operating power and has been rebuilt twice in the past. The heater core is currently deteriorating and leaking. Continued repairs are no longer cost-effective. Currently, staff must load both the water tank and pressure washer onto a trailer, secure the load, and tow the trailer to job sites. This process requires navigating narrow roads and sometimes backing out of confined areas. Each deployment requires setup time to balance and secure the load. The proposed roll -off configuration would permanently mount the new hot-water pressure washer and the existing water tank on a dedicated skid. The unit can be loaded onto a roll -off truck in approximately 5-10 minutes with all components secured and ready for use. This improves safety, reduces setup time, and increases operational efficiency. The unit will be used for: • Thawing frozen culverts • Cleaning lift stations • Washing playground equipment • General infrastructure maintenance 3. Scope: Purchase and assemble: • Custom 12' roll -off skid platform • Hotsy 1260SSG hot-water pressure washer • Mount existing water tank • Plumbing, hose reels, fittings, and integration 4. Options: • Continue repairing existing 1991 unit (increased downtime and repair costs). • Continue trailer -based deployment (longer setup time and increased safety risk). • Purchase dedicated roll -off mounted system (recommended). Cost: 39 endor Welding & Roll -Off Skid Fabrication otsy Minnesota Hotsy 1260SSG Unit & $13,180.84 Accessories lounting & Plumbing Install existing tank and plumbing $1,500.00 integration otal Proiect Cost $20,780.84 6. Funding: This purchase will be funded through the Equipment Improvement Fund with transfer in from Streets/Storm Water. This project was identified in the 2026 Capital Improvement Plan (CIP). 7. Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of the purchase and assembly of the roll -off skid mounted hot-water pressure washer unit for a total amount not to exceed $20,780.84. COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED Motion to approve the purchase and assembly of the roll -off skid mounted hot-water pressure washer unit for a total amount not to exceed $20,780.84. 40 AGENDA ITEM Date: February 23, 2026 Title: Maintenance Quote - Video Inspection of Sanitary Sewer System Presenter: Jimmy Nelson Section: Consent Agenda Item: 10 Purpose: To conduct sanitary sewer televising to assess pipe condition, identify defects, and support proactive maintenance and capital planning. 2. Background: As part of the preventative maintenance program, the city tries to clean and inspect 20% of the sanitary sewer system annually. The cleaning is completed by Public Works employees. The inspection consists of televising the sewers after they are cleaned. The inspections are used to inform future sewer maintenance. The sanitary sewer inspection project will consist of televising approximately 55,600 lineal feet of sanitary sewer pipe. 3. Summary: Sanitary sewer televising is a preventative maintenance activity used to evaluate the condition of sewer mains and identify needed repairs. The inspection results will help staff prioritize maintenance and future capital improvements. 4.

LA26-000001 WHEREAS, on January 20, 2026, Denali Custom Homes, (hereinafter the "Applicant") applied for a variance from the City Code for the property addressed 860 Brown Road South, Orono and legally described as: The North 470.38 feet of the Northwest 1 /4 of the Northeast 1 /4 of Section 10, Township 117 North, Range 23 West of the 51" Principal Meridian, according to the United States Government Survey thereof, Hennepin County, Minnesota (hereinafter the "Property"); WHEREAS, the Applicant has made application to the City of Orono for a variance from Orono Municipal Zoning Code Section 6.12.6240 for a 6,321 square foot residence to be constructed 46 feet lakeward of the average lakeshore setback; and WHEREAS, on February 17, 2026, after published and mailed notice in accordance with Minnesota Statutes and the City Code, the Planning Commission held a public hearing, at which time all persons desiring to be heard concerning this application were given the opportunity to speak thereon; and WHEREAS, on February 17, 2026, the Planning Commission voted 4 to 0 in favor of a motion to recommend approval of the variance as recommended by staff; and WHEREAS, on February 23, 2026, the City Council reviewed the application and the recommendations of the Planning Commission and City staff; and NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of Orono, Minnesota hereby approves the requested variance as described above based on one or more of the following findings of fact concerning the Property: FINDINGS OF FACT: Al. This application was reviewed as Zoning File LA26-000001. The analysis contained within staff memos and the exhibits attached to the aforesaid memos, all minutes from the above -mentioned meetings, and any and all other materials distributed at these meetings are hereby incorporated by reference. 51 CITY OF ORONO RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL NO.7666 A2. The Property is located in the RR-1 B, One -Family Rural Residential Zoning District. A3. The Property is within Tier 1 and hardcover is limited to 25% according to the Stormwater Quality Overlay District, and the Applicant is proposing 8.2% hardcover, where 25% is allowed, with this project. A4. The contiguous ordinary high-water level (OHWL) of 929.4 feet (Lake Minnetonka) passes through the Property making it a lakeshore lot subject to the Shoreland Overlay District Standards. A5. The Applicant applied for average lakeshore setback variance for the proposed project. A6. The proposed project is to allow for the construction of a principal single-family house. A7. In considering this application for a variance, the Council has considered the advice and recommendation of the Planning Commission and the effect of the proposed variances upon the health, safety and welfare of the community, existing and anticipated traffic conditions, light and air, danger of fire, risk to the public safety, and the effect on values of property in the surrounding area. VARIANCE ANALYSIS: B1. Variances shall only be permitted when they are in harmony with the general purposes and intent of the ordinance; the average lakeshore setback limits a reasonable building envelope on the Property, and as the proposed home location will not impact sightlines, the variance is in harmony with the intent and purpose of the ordinance; and B2. Variances shall only be permitted when consistent with the comprehensive plan; the proposed variance to allow for a principal residence in the RR- 1B zoning district is consistent with the comprehensive plan; and B3. Variances may be granted when the Applicant for the variance establishes that there are practical difficulties in complying with the zoning ordinance. `Practical difficulties,' as used in connection with the granting of a variance, means that: a. The property owner in question proposes to use the property in a reasonable manner, however, the proposed use is not permitted by the official controls; the Applicant has proposed a reasonable building location, but it is bisected by the average lakeshore setback. The home should not impact the lake views of its neighbors; and 52 CITY OF ORONO RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL NO.7666 b. The plight of the landowner is due to circumstances unique to his property not created by the landowner; the Property is heavily impacted by wetlands and the floodplain. Most homes located near this wetland are located closer to Brown Road South than the ordinary high-water level (OHWL). Property sizes in this area tend to be larger, where viewsheds can be better preserved; and c. The variance, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the locality; a variance will allow for a new home to be consistent with and contribute to the residential character of the area. B4. Economic considerations alone do not constitute practical difficulties; economic considerations do not impact the finding of practical difficulties with the Property; and B5. Practical difficulties also include but are not limited to inadequate access to direct sunlight for solar energy systems. Variances shall be granted for earth -sheltered construction as defined in Minn. Stat. § 216C.06, subd. 2, when in harmony with Orono City Code Chapter 78; this condition is not applicable; and B6. The board or the council may not permit as a variance any use that is not permitted under Orono City Code Chapter 78 for property in the zone where the affected person's land is located; this condition is not applicable; and B7. The board or council may permit as a variance the temporary use of a one -family dwelling as a two-family dwelling; this condition is not applicable; and B8. The special conditions applying to the structure or land in question are peculiar to such property or immediately adjoining property; many properties in the area abut Long Lake Creek, yet contain the OHWL of Lake Minnetonka, making them subject to the shoreland overlay district standards. The average lakeshore setback is inconsistent in this area as the OHWL does not impact all properties, such as the Property's immediate neighbor, 920 Brown Road South. Given the size of the Property, sightlines over the OHWL will not be impacted; and B9. The conditions do not apply generally to other land or structures in the district in which the land is located; the impacts of the OHWL and the shoreland overlay district vary from property to property. The Property is significantly more encumbered than its neighbors due to its size and orientation. The application of the average lakeshore setback in this area does not protect sightlines and instead places a difficulty on property owners already impacted by wetlands and the floodplain; and 53 CITY OF ORONO RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL NO.7666 B10. The granting of the application is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a substantial property right of the Applicant; a variance is necessary for the Applicant to reasonably build a residence on the Property away from Brown Road South. As sightlines are not impacted, the average Lakeshore setback impedes the property rights of the owner, and B11. The granting of the proposed variance will not in any way impair health, safety, comfort or morals, or in any other respect be contrary to the intent of this chapter; the variance to construct the proposed home will not impact the health, safety, comfort and morals of other residents in the area. The variance meets the intent of the average lakeshore setback where views on adjacent properties will be preserved; and B12. The granting of such variance will not merely serve as a convenience to the Applicant, but is necessary to alleviate demonstrable difficulty; the granting of the requested variance is reasonable and would alleviate a significant difficulty placed on the Applicant. CONCLUSIONS, ORDER AND CONDITIONS: Based upon one or more of the above findings, the Orono City Council hereby grants a variance from Orono Municipal Zoning Code Section 6.12.6240 for a 6,321-square-foot residence to be constructed 46 feet lakeward of the average lakeshore setback, subject to the following conditions: 1. Council approval is based on the entire record, above Findings. 2. The approved project shall conform to the building plans and survey submitted by the Applicant, attached to this Resolution as Exhibits A. 3. Any amendments to the plans which are not in conformity with City codes may require further Planning Commission and City Council review. 4. Authorities granted by this resolution run with the Property not with the owners, but are permissive only and must be exercised by obtaining a permit for the sauna building and commencing construction of said project. A framing inspection must be completed within one year of the date of Council approval, or the variance will expire on that date (February 23, 2027). 5.

Lot Area Variance, 2. 75-foot Lake Setback Variance (building and hardcover), 3. Average Lakeshore Setback Variance, and 4. Rear Yard and Side Yard Setback Variance. 2. MN§15.99 Application Deadline: This application was received and considered to be complete on January 21, 2026. The 60-day review timeline will expire on March 22nd. 3. Background: The existing home is nonconforming with respect to the lake, average lake, rear/street, and side setbacks and is out of compliance with FEMA's low -floor requirements. The applicant is proposing to construct a new two-story home in the same location. The basement of the proposed home will be elevated 1.7 feet higher than the existing home to meet the floodplain low floor regulation. The vacant property to the west is owned by Hennepin County. 4. Planning Commission Vote and Comment: The Planning Commission held a public hearing and reviewed the application at its regular meeting on February 17th. After a discussion, the Commission voted 4 to 0 in favor of a motion to recommend approval as applied, conditioned upon the staff recommendation, which included planting two trees in the lake yard. Public Comment: The DNR reviewed the proposed development and recommended that the owner plant 2 trees in the lake yard to screen the massing of the new second story from the lake. The acknowledgement form and a statement in support were received from the neighbor at 3580 North Shore Drive (both are attached as Exhibit D). 6. Staff Recommendation: Planning Staff recommends approval as proposed, conditioned on the applicant agreeing to plant a minimum of two native trees placed within the lake yard to provide screening of the home from the lake. The applicant has agreed to plant two trees within the 75-foot shore setback area of the property. The plans should be provided with the building permit application and will be reviewed by staff at the time of permitting.

LA26-000004 WHEREAS, on January 21, 2026, Robert Arone (hereinafter the "Applicant"), applied for variances from the City Code for the property addressed 3590 North Shore Drive and legally described as: That part of Lots 8 and 9, Block 2, BALDUR PARK, Hennepin County, Minnesota, lying northwesterly of County Road No. 51 (hereinafter the "Property"); WHEREAS, the Applicant has made application to the City of Orono for a variance from Orono Municipal Zoning Code Section 6.12.1550 to allow construction of a two-story home on a substandard lot 0.3 acre in area, where 0.5 acre is required; and WHEREAS, the Applicant has made application to the City of Orono for variances from Orono Municipal Zoning Code Section 6.12.1550 to permit the following to support construction of a new home: • A 22.5-foot setback from the rear lot line, where 30 feet is required; • A 7.4-foot setback from the north side lot line, where a 10-foot setback is required; • A 59.6-foot setback from the OHWL, where a 75-foot setback is required; and • An encroachment of 7 feet into the average lakeshore setback; and WHEREAS, the Applicant has made an application to the City of Orono for a variance from Orono Municipal Zoning Code Section 6.12.9110, to permit approximately 240 square feet of hardcover within the 75-foot setback from the OHWL. WHEREAS, on February 17, 2026, after published and mailed notice in accordance with Minnesota Statutes and the City Code, the Planning Commission held a public hearing, at which time all persons desiring to be heard concerning this application were allowed to speak thereon; and WHEREAS, on February 17, 2026, the Planning Commission recommended approval of the variances conditioned upon the Applicant planting two native trees within the 75-foot setback to provide screening mitigation of the additional massing resulting from the new second story; and 61 CITY OF ORONO RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL NO.7667 WHEREAS, on February 23, 2026, the City Council reviewed the application and the recommendations of the Planning Commission and City staff; and NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of Orono, Minnesota, hereby approves the requested variances as described above based on one or more of the following findings of fact concerning the Property: FINDINGS OF FACT: Al. The analysis contained within staff memos and the exhibits attached to the aforesaid memos, all minutes from the above -mentioned meetings, and all other materials distributed at these meetings are hereby incorporated by reference. A2. The Property is located in the LR-1C One -Family Lakeshore Residential Zoning District. A3. The Property contains 0.3 acres in area and has a defined lot width of 102 feet at the OHWL, and 109 feet at the 75-foot setback from the OHWL. A4. The Property is within Tier 1, and hardcover is limited to 25% according to the Stormwater Quality Overlay District. A5. Applicant has applied for the following variances: a. Lot Area Variance b. 75-foot Lake Setback Variance c. Average Lakeshore Setback Variance d. Side Yard and Rear/Street Setback Variance e. Hardcover within the 75-foot Lake Setback A6. In considering this application for variances, the Council has considered the advice and recommendation of the Planning Commission and the effect of the proposed variances upon the health, safety and welfare of the community, existing and anticipated traffic conditions, light and air, danger of fire, risk to the public safety, and the effect on values of property in the surrounding area. ANALYSIS: B1. "Variances shall only be permitted when they are in harmony with the general purposes and intent of the ordinance ...." The Applicant is not proposing to increase the footprint of the home. The proposed variances are in harmony with the purpose of the Ordinance. The substandard lot has difficulties in its depth and narrow width, existing improvements, and proximity to the lake, making development difficult. 62 CITY OF ORONO RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL NO.7667 B2. "Variances shall only be permitted ... when the variances are consistent with the comprehensive plan." The variances proposed to rebuild a new home with a similar footprint on this nonconforming lot are consistent with the comprehensive plan. B3. "Variances may be granted when the applicant for the variance establishes that there are practical difficulties in complying with the zoning ordinance. `Practical difficulties,' as used in connection with the granting of a variance, means that: a. The property owner in question proposes to use the property in a reasonable manner, however, the proposed use is not permitted by the official controls. The request to permit the construction of a new residence on the substandard lot is reasonable. The proposed conditions are consistent with the existing conditions. The views of the lake enjoyed by the neighbors to the east will not be adversely impacted by the new home. b. The plight of the landowner is due to circumstances unique to his property not created by the landowner. The substandard lot size is an existing condition, and there is no available land with which to make the property more conforming. The location and size of the existing improvements, restricted roadway, lot size, and depth are challenges not created by the owners. As designed, the project includes maintenance of the current conditions; c. The variance, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the locality." The variances are requested to permit the construction of a new home on the substandard residential property, which is reasonable. B4. "Economic considerations alone do not constitute practical difficulties." Economic considerations have not been a factor in the variance approval determination. B5. "Practical difficulties also include but are not limited to inadequate access to direct sunlight for solar energy systems. Variances shall be granted for earth -sheltered construction as defined in Minn. Stat. § 216C.06, subd. 2, when in harmony with Orono City Code Chapter 78." This condition is not applicable. B6. "The board or the council may not permit as a variance any use that is not permitted under Orono City Code Chapter 78 for property in the zone where the affected person's land is located." This condition is not applicable, as a residence is an allowed use in the LR-1 C District. B7. "The board or council may permit as a variance the temporary use of a one -family dwelling as a two-family dwelling." This condition is not applicable. 63 CITY OF ORONO RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL NO.7667 B8. "The special conditions applying to the structure or land in question are peculiar to such property or immediately adjoining property." The Property's substandard size (area and depth), location, proximity to the lake and the busy County roadway, and existing conditions create difficulties that also apply to many of the properties along North Shore Drive in the same neighborhood. B9. "The conditions do not apply generally to other land or structures in the district in which the land is located." Other properties in the general neighborhood are subject to similar challenges; however, the Property is unique regarding the adjacent vacant property and the extreme meander of the lakeshore contour. B10."The granting of the application is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a substantial property right of the applicant." The proposed hardcover and structural levels are well under the maximums. Granting the variances is necessary for the preservation of the property rights of the owners. B11. "The granting of the proposed variance will not in any way impair health, safety, comfort, or morals, or in any other respect be contrary to the intent of this chapter." Granting the requested variances would not be contrary to the intent of the zoning chapter. B12."The granting of such variance will not merely serve as a convenience to the applicant, but is necessary to alleviate demonstrable difficulty." The variances for lot size and setback are necessary and do not merely serve as a convenience to the owners. CONCLUSIONS, ORDER, AND CONDITIONS: Based upon one or more of the above findings, the Orono City Council hereby grants the following variances from the Orono Municipal Code to allow construction of a two-story home with 4-foot-wide roof eaves/overhangs: • Section 6.12.1550 to permit redevelopment of a substandard lot 0.3 acre in area, where 0.5 acre is required; • Section 6.12.1550 for: o A 22.5-foot setback from the rear lot line, where 30 feet is required; o A 7.4-foot setback from the north side lot line, where a 10-foot setback is required; o A 59.6-foot setback from the OHWL, where a 75-foot setback is required; and o An encroachment of 7 feet into the average lakeshore setback; and • Section 6.12.9110, to permit approximately 240 square feet of hardcover within the 75- foot setback from the OHWL, subject to the following conditions: 64 CITY OF ORONO RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL NO.7667 C1.Council approval is based on the entire record, above Findings. C2.The approved project shall conform to the survey dated 01/20/2026 by Premier Land Surveying LLC, and the building plans provided by the Applicants and annotated by City staff, attached to this Resolution as Exhibits A & B. C3.The Applicant shall plant two (2) native trees within the 75-foot shore setback to mitigate the impacts of the additional mass of the home within the lake setback. The placement of the trees shall be shown on a survey or landscape plan submitted with the building permit and shown in a location that will provide screening of the home from the lake.

Lot Area Variance, 2. 75-foot Lake Setback Variance (building and hardcover), 3. Average Lakeshore Setback Variance, 4. Rear Yard Setback Variance, and 5. Side Yard Setback Variance. Staff Recommendation: Planning Department Staff recommends approval with conditions. Background The property is a substandard -sized lot, situated on the north side of North Shore Drive, facing North Arm Bay. The applicant proposes to construct a new home with a similar footprint to the existing one, while adding a second story. The existing home is nonconforming with respect to the lake, average lake, rear/street, and side setbacks and is out of compliance with the low -floor requirements of the Floodplain Regulations. Practical Difficulties Analysis Aoolicant Submittal Information: The applicant has identified practical difficulties, which include the legally nonconforming setbacks, proximity to the lake, and the configuration of the / l /LOT 8',, / 3X3 / m � I. a � x9323� OZ O OIL ] PsE59P�� 1 4.

Additionally, they state that the property poses difficulties due to its irregular shape, shoreline orientation, and limited buildable area outside the required setbacks. These conditions are peculiar to this property and directly limit the ability to modify or reconstruct the residence without variance relief. Additionally, they have provided supporting documentation regarding Practical Difficulties attached as Exhibit C, and should be asked for additional testimony regarding the application. 88 FILE #LA26-000004 17 February 2026 Page 2 of 5 Planning Staff Practical Difficulty Analysis: Regarding practical difficulty, Staff finds that the unique shoreline and wetland encroachments on the vacant property to the west create difficulties for the subject property. Approximately 65% of the property is within the 75-foot setback and is unbuildable. Application of the applicable setbacks results in an approximate 1,300 square foot buildable area. LOT ANALYSIS WORKSHEET Section 6.12.1550; 6.12.6240; & 6.12.8210 — Setbacks: The proposed plans reflect an approximate 4-foot overhang around the entirety of the home, not included in the table below. Setbacks are measured from the foundation of the home. The additional roof overhang depth within the setback/required yards is additional massing on the proposed home.

(25 %) (18.9%) (20.2%) 89 FILE #LA26-000004 17 February 2026 Page 3 of 5 Applicable Regulations: Lot Area Variance (Sections 6,12.320 and 6.12.1550) Zoning Code Section 6.12.320 provides options for the redevelopment of lots that do not meet the minimum area or width requirements for the respective zoning district. Substandard properties within the Shoreland Overlay District may be redeveloped without variances from lot size and width requirements if the following standards are met: 1. All setback requirements can be met. 2. The lot is connected to a public sewer, and 3. The impervious surface coverage meets all hardcover location and square footage restrictions of this chapter, and the total square footage of hardcover does not exceed 25 percent of the entire lot area. 4. All other zoning district standards can be met. The applicant's request for additional variances results in the property's inability to conform to all of the standards above. Therefore, a lot area variance is also required to redevelop the property. The ability to develop the property in a manner consistent with other developed properties in the neighborhood would be limited if the lot area variance is not granted. Rear/Street + Side + 75-foot Lake + Average Lakeshore Setback Variances (Sections 6.12.1550 + 6.12.6240) The applicant's narrative states that the project will not increase the building footprint or lot coverage; however, the existing home has irregular sides and is not a perfect rectangle. The proposed footprint corrects this and results in a minor change in the setback measurements. The applicant is proposing to reconstruct the home in the same location and footprint with a new 2nd story; setback variances are required to address the minor footprint change and the expansion upward for the 2nd story. The basement of the proposed home will be elevated one (1) foot, 5.8 inches (or 1.7 feet) higher than the existing home to meet the floodplain regulation. The proposed home shows a 4-foot overhang surrounding the structure with will add to the massing of the building. The vacant property to the west is owned by Hennepin County. Governing Regulation: Variance (Section 6.12.530) In reviewing applications for variance, the Planning Commission shall consider the effect of the proposed variance upon the health, safety, and welfare of the community, existing and anticipated traffic conditions, light and air, danger of fire, risk to the public safety, and the effect on values of property in the surrounding area. The Planning Commission shall consider recommending approval for variances from the literal provisions of the Zoning Code in instances where their strict enforcement would cause practical difficulties because of circumstances unique to the individual property under consideration, and shall recommend approval only when it is demonstrated that such actions will be in keeping with the spirit and intent of the Orono Zoning Code. Economic considerations alone do not constitute practical difficulties. Practical difficulties also include, but are not limited to, inadequate access to direct sunlight for solar energy systems. Variances shall be granted for earth -sheltered construction as defined in Minn. Stat. §216C.06, subd. 14, when in harmony with this chapter. The board or the council may not permit, as a variance, any use that is not permitted under this chapter for property in the zone where the affected person's land is located. The board or council may permit, as a variance, the temporary use of a one -family dwelling as a two-family dwelling. According to MN §462.357 Subd. 6(2) variances shall only be permitted when: 1. The variance is in harmony with the general intent and purpose of the Ordinance. The applicant is not proposing to increase the footprint of the home. The proposed variances are in harmony with the purpose of the Ordinance. The substandard lot has difficulties in its depth and narrow width, existing improvements, and proximity to the lake, making development difficult. 2. The variance is consistent with the comprehensive plan. The variances proposed to rebuild a new home with a similar footprint on this nonconforming lot are consistent with the comprehensive plan. 3. The applicant establishes that there are practical difficulties. 90 FILE #LA26-000004 17 February 2026 Page 4 of 5 a. The property owner proposes to use the property in a reasonable manner not permitted by the official controls. The request to permit the construction of a new residence on the substandard lot is reasonable. The proposed conditions are consistent with the existing conditions. The views of the lake enjoyed by the neighbors to the east will not be adversely impacted by the new home. b. There are circumstances unique to the property not created by the landowner; The substandard lot size is an existing condition, and there is no available land with which to make the property more conforming. The location and size of the existing improvements, restricted roadway, lot size, and depth are challenges not created by the owners. As designed, the project includes maintenance of the current conditions; and c. The variance will not alter the essential character of the locality. The variances are requested to permit the construction of a new home on the substandard residential property, which is reasonable. Additionally, City Code Section 6.12.530 provides additional parameters within which a variance may be granted as follows: 4. Economic considerations alone do not constitute practical difficulties. Economic considerations have not been a factor in the variance approval determination. 5. Practical difficulties also include, but are not limited to, inadequate access to direct sunlight for solar energy systems. Variances shall be granted for earth -sheltered construction as defined in Minn. Stat. § 216C.06, subd. 17, when in harmony with Orono City Code Chapter 6.12. This condition is not applicable. 6. The board or the council may not permit as a variance any use that is not permitted under Orono City Code Chapter 6.12 for property in the zone where the affected person's land is located. This condition is not applicable, as a residence is an allowed use in the LR-1C District. 7. The board or council may permit, as a variance, the temporary use of a one -family dwelling as a two- family dwelling. This condition is not applicable. 8. The special conditions applying to the structure or land in question are peculiar to such property or immediately adjoining property. The property's substandard size (area and depth), location, proximity to the lake and the busy County roadway, and existing conditions create difficulties that also apply to many of the properties along North Shore Drive in the same neighborhood. 9. The conditions do not apply generally to other land or structures in the district in which the land is located. other properties in the general neighborhood are subject to similar challenges. 10. The granting of the application is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a substantial property right of the applicant. The proposed hardcover and structural levels are well under the maximums. Granting the variances is necessary for the preservation of the property rights of the owners. 11. The granting of the proposed variance will not in any way impair health, safety, comfort, or morals, or in any other respect be contrary to the intent of this chapter. Granting the requested variances would not be contrary to the intent of the zoning chapter. 12. The granting of such variance will not merely serve as a convenience to the applicant, but is necessary to alleviate demonstrable difficulty. The variances for lot size are necessary and do not merely serve as a convenience to the owners. The Commission may recommend, or the Council may impose conditions in granting variances. Any conditions imposed must be directly related to and must bear a rough proportionality to the impact created by the variance. No variance shall be granted or changed beyond the use permitted in this chapter in the district where such land is located. 91 FILE #LA26-000004 17 February 2026 Page 5 of 5 DNR Comments The DNR reviewed the proposed development and recommended that the owner plant trees in the lake yard to screen the massing from the increased height in proximity to the lake (Exhibit G). Public Comments The acknowledgement form and a statement from the neighbor at 3580 North Shore Drive were provided (Exhibit H). Issues for Consideration 1. Does the Planning Commission find that the property owner proposes to use the property in a reasonable manner that is not permitted by an official control? 2. Does the Planning Commission find that the variance(s), if granted, will not alter the essential character of the neighborhood? 3. Does the Commission find it necessary to impose conditions to mitigate the impacts created by the granting of the requested variance(s)? 4. Are there any other issues or concerns with this application? Planning Staff Recommendation Planning Staff recommends approval as proposed, conditioned on the applicant providing the following: a) Minimum of two (2) native trees placed within the lake yard to provide screening of the home from the lake. b) Provide a landscape plan showing the type and placement of trees in the lake yard before placement on the City Council's agenda for review. From: Toot, Ryan (He/Him/His) (DNR) To: Melanie Curtis Subject: Re: 3590 North Shore Drive Date: Wednesday, February 11, 2026 8:45:36 AM Attachments: Good morning Melanie, Thanks again for sending these and apologies it took a while to loop back. I have no comment on the proposed 3590 North Shore Drive variance request other than the mention that adding a condition to require planting of a native tree or two on the lakeside of the lot could help screen the new building height from the lake with an added advantage of potential water resource and habitat benefits as well.

Adjacent Property Owner Form — January 2024 56 Adjacent Property Owner Statement of No Objection I, Kevin Lawson, am the owner of the property located at 3580 N Shore Dr, which is directly adjacent to the property at 3590 N Shore Dr. I have reviewed the proposed plans and drawings submitted (below) in connection with the variance request for the property at the above address. I understand that the proposed project will maintain the existing building footprint and primarily consists of converting the existing partial second floor into a full second floor. The existing second floor has sloped ceilings with limited headroom, including areas with ceiling heights well below six (6) feet. The proposed improvements will create a full second floor with consistent ceiling heights throughout. Based on my review of the proposed plans, I do not object to the requested variance or to the proposed improvements. I do not anticipate that the project will create any adverse impacts to my property, including but not limited to privacy, light, drainage, or the use and enjoyment of my property. This statement is provided voluntarily to acknowledge my awareness of the proposed project and to confirm that I have no objections to the variance request or the proposed construction as presented.

MN§15.99 Application Deadline: The application was received and deemed complete on July 23. Pursuant to the 60-day statutory review timeline, the initial review period was set to expire on September 21, 2025. Staff exercised the option to extend the review period an additional 60 days, establishing a revised deadline of November 20, 2025. Subsequently, additional time was required to process the application, and further extensions were requested. The current extension period is set to expire on March 20, 2026. 3. Background: As a result of a property complaint, the City became aware that several improvements had been constructed on the subject property without required approvals. These include: • A patio constructed within the required side setback and extending across the property line; • Tiered retaining walls located within the side yard and the 75-foot lakeshore setback, also extending across the property line; and • A shed placed within the average lakeshore setback. Each of these improvements requires land use approvals, including variances for setback encroachments and a Conditional Use Permit (CUP), in addition to the necessary building permits. Since identifying these violations, City staff has worked with the property owner in an effort to resolve the matter through after -the -fact land use approvals. The applicant is requesting after -the -fact variance and CUP approvals for: • The patio area, stairs, and low retaining walls on the lakeside of the home; and • The tiered retaining walls located within the 75-foot lakeshore setback and 5-foot side setback. However, staff has been unable to obtain the updated survey or revised site plans for the walls and patio as directed by the Planning Commission. Additionally, the applicant has not provided any details regarding the shed located within the lakeshore yard setback. To date, the applicant has not been communicative or forthcoming with the required materials necessary to evaluate the request. As a result, the improvements remain in violation of City Code. Staff has spent the last seven months attempting to convince the applicant to provide the necessary information without success. Given the lack of responsiveness and failure to provide the requested 98 documentation within the allotted timeframe, staff recommends that the City Council deny the after -the -fact variance and CUP application. 4. Planning Commission Vote and Comment: The Planning Commission considered the application at its August 18th meeting (Meeting Video). Following the public hearing, the Commission requested that the applicant submit additional information, including a plan to address the identified encroachments. The application was subsequently tabled to the next Planning Commission meeting to allow time for submission and review of the requested materials. The Commission requested the additional information to provide clarification regarding existing site conditions that cannot be adequately represented through photographs or simplified site plans. To resolve the outstanding issues and ensure the record contains accurate information for permitting purposes, the applicant was directed to provide: • An updated Certificate of Survey for the property; and • A current existing -conditions hardcover calculation worksheet, prepared and certified by your surveyor; and Amended plans for the patio and walls. Because the requested information has not been provided, the application has not been brought back before the Planning Commission for consideration. Public Comment: Multiple public comment submissions were provided before and after the public hearing. The public comments are combined and attached as Exhibit B. 6. Staff Recommendation: Staff established a revised submittal deadline of February 2nd to allow the applicant sufficient time to provide the required survey and revised plans so the application could proceed to the February Planning Commission meeting. The applicant's extension of the statutory review period expires on March 20th. As no materials have been submitted to date, there is insufficient time remaining to schedule and complete both a Planning Commission review and subsequent City Council action before the extension expires. Accordingly, staff recommends that the City Council consider a motion to deny the application and direct staff to prepare a resolution of denial for formal action at the March 9th City Council meeting. COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED Make a motion to deny application LA25-000036 and direct staff to prepare a resolution with findings for denial. Exhibits A. Amended/Staff Annotated Plans B.

I was part of the crew that constructed the retaining wall at 1200 Wildhurst Trail. I have over 15 years of landscaping experience, with a focus on tree health. I graduated from Hennepin Technical College with a degree in Urban Forestry. I have been studying plant health care since then, and have partnered up with the schools professors to continue to service our large woody plants. I climb, cut, care, and plant trees all around the Twin Cities. I'm writing in support of the letter from Don Mueller, Certified Arborist. And, I can attest to the health of the oak trees today and that these same trees were not healthy at the time of construction. They showed signs of stress and I expressed my concerns with the homeowner. Since then, I have personally witnessed a vast improvement of their health due to the location of the retaining wall. If the wall had to be modified, it would remove the same benefits that likely saved these trees from dying. The tree WILL have to be removed if the wall is taken away. It would be a shame to remove an old growth Oak tree in a world where they're declining in. I suggest that we split the plant landscape and personalize to the neighbors liking (without removing or modifying the wall). Thank you, Eddy Mendoza. 103 From: Lynne Gerlicher To: Melanie Curtis Subject: Rasmussen wall Date: Sunday, August 17, 2025 4:53:20 PM Melanie: We are residents in Orono on Rest Point Road and have had our own issues and know how important building permits are. It was always understood we had to follow survey and 75 foot setback rules. If you allow these rules to not be enforced it will send a message to any new residents they can do the same. Please hear our many voices. Sincerely, Mike and Lynne Gerlicher. Sent from Yahoo Mail for Whone 104 From: Joseph Loma To: Melanie Curtis Subject: Brian and Lisa Roath retaining wall Date: Friday, August 15, 2025 9:28:26 AM Melanie I am opposed to the conditional use permit for Brian and Lisa Roath retaining wall since it is an eyesore, no permits were acquired to build the wall, it is within the 75 foot setback from the lake, and many other issues as well. I am unable to attend the meeting Monday to verbally share my concerns in person due to a previous commitment. Please take my opposition to this retaining wall as vehement. 105 From: Daniel MacAoda To: Melanie Curtis Subject: 1200 Wildhurst Trail encroachment Date: Friday, August 15, 2025 3:29:09 PM I understand there is a Planning Commission meeting being held Monday evening at 6PM to address the long overdue issue regarding the encroachment on the property of Brian and Sandy Rasmussen. I will be traveling out of state on business and unable to attending the meeting in person but felt it important to weigh in on what I think is a pretty cut and dried issue. As I understand it, the wall is on the Rasmussen property by more than 10'; exceeds code restrictions in terms of height and apparently is closer to the lake than current lakefront setback requirements of 75'. IF all or part of that is correct then there can be no forgiveness when going about a project of this scope without a permit or having a survey done is not an excuse. Needless to say, lakeside property values are highly dependent on lakefront footage so any perceived reduction in lakefront as the wall would imply has the potential to cause financial damage to the Rasmussen's. As it is, the Rasmussens have already incurred financial costs as among other things they paid for the survey which properly identified and delineated the property line between the 2 houses and defined the actual scale of the encroachment. Applying for and getting a permit long after the wall was built and the encroachment was brought to attention, does not establish any cover or mitigation of the faults. I might suggest that The Planning Commission really has no choice in this matter - you either uphold long standing requirements regarding permits and set backs or abrogate your collective responsibility and open up the floodgates to anyone inclined to break rules whether intentional or not. Always very much a shame to see neighbors at odds like this, but the offending party must be required to remedy the situation - at their cost - to get the wall removed or scaled back to meet all legal requirements or setbacks currently in place. Respectfully, Daniel J. McHugh 106 107 To: City of Orono Planning Commission From: E&R Landscaping Re: Public Comment on 1200 Wildhurst Trail Unfortunately, I am not available to attend tonight's Planning Commission meeting. But please consider these comments for your review. I performed the landscaping work for the owners at 1200 Wildhurst Trail. The primary purpose of the retaining wall construction was to prevent hillside erosion. However, during design we also had to consider how the retaining wall would impact the oak trees. Our challenge was to terminate the retaining wall at a place that did not interfere with the root structures. We accomplished this by curving the wall around the root structures. This meant that the walls went onto the neighbor's property. I was part of a discussion (at the site) with the homeowner and neighbors about the exact proposed location of the wall. First, I asked where the property line was. The homeowner and neighbors seemed to agree on where the property line likely was located. Based on this, I explained to them that the wall would end slightly on the neighbor's property. At the time, the neighbors understood the plans and agreed the placement of the wall made sense. We also discussed one specific oak tree on their property. The neighbors expressed concern about the health of this tree. The tree was browning and showed signs of dying. I explained that the retaining wall would likely help the trees by holding the water instead of the water passing down the steep hill. They understood this benefit and we moved forward with their permission. Thankyou.

August 18, 2025 Setback zoning requirements matter — many non -conforming additions since property first developed. • In 1976 the 1200 Wildhurst build plan was reviewed by the Commission approving rotation of the house to the north, with a 6" variance for the NE foundation corner into 10' side setback. • Asphalt walkway and fire pit seating area at shoreline, and deck & screen porch added short) thereafter b Kruspo f's u to the property line.

Kruskopf and called attention to a non-conforrming situation on the neighboring property where a house had been omstrurted so close to the property line that it did not even met State setback requirements. This nan-conforming situation resulted from construction years ago %+wn surveys were not re- quired when building permits wire issued.

Our absence at the City Council meeting is not an indication that we have lost interest in the matter. For the record we are away and cannot attend. Furthermore we would like the record to reflect there has been no effort on the part of the Roath's to contact us concerning any plan to rectify the non conforming items that are the subject of the after the fact permit request, and impacting our adjacent property. Removal of the three non conforming improvements on the Roath's property is essential to: 1. Protect the Minnetonka Lake Shore 2. Protect our property from further erosion, and loss of market value, and 3. Restore the unobstructed view of Lake Minnetonka from our home and the adjacent neighbors, as well as any future owners of these properties. We trust the City Council will act affirmatively on staff recommendations, further prompting removal of the illegal improvements.

I was wondering if you by chance found any pictures from when you lived next door. Correct me if I'm wrong. I believe you said that the patio on your property ended at the inside posts of the steps. And there were no pavers at the bottom of the steps as a result. Basically you stepped off the steps onto the grass. Is that right? That's how Brian and ai remembered it. If you guys make it to town this summer give us a shout. We'd love to take you out on the boat for happy hour or once around the lake. We will see you for sure next spring in Florida.

We are lakeshore owners on Forest Lake Bay in the same neighborhood as the Rasmussens at 1186 Wildhurst Trail and the Roaths at 1200 Wildhurst Trail . My wife and I attended the Planning Council on August 18, 2025. We didn't speak up at the time and wish we had. As we listened to the council's commentary regarding the CUP application by the Roaths and the various issues regarding the blatant violations of codes on the retaining walls, deck set back, utility shed construction, property lines, etc., we couldn't understand the reluctance to enforce the rules. To grant a CUP to someone that has multiple issues that are clearly in violation of these rules; let alone doing it on property that isn't even theirs, is wrong.

The addition would encroach a small amount into the average Lakeshore setback but would stay within the 75-foot setback. The adjacent property owner and the neighborhood architectural committee support the request. The Planning Commission discussed the item and asked questions of staff and the applicant, Jerry Gray,880 Partenwood Rd. He explained they would like to add a main floor bedroom to continue to live there and have tried hard to keep the requested exceptions minimal. Chair Bollis opened the public hearing at 6:45 p.m. There were no public comments. Chair Bollis closed the public hearing at 6:45 p.m. Commissioners pointed out that the house is on a peninsula and the proposed addition won't impact a neighbor. Moving the utilities will be an improvement, and the neighbors have sent a letter of support. It seemed to be a reasonable way to help the homeowners stay in their homes. Teft moved, Ressler seconded, to approve LA25-000035, 880 Partenwood Rd, Variance as applied. VOTE: Ayes 6, Nays 0. 5.5 LA25-000036, Brian Roath, 1200 Wildhurst Trail, After -the -Fact Variances and Conditional Use Permit The Planning Commission is requested to review the Staff report, receive a presentation, and discuss and consider the request for an after -the -fact setback variance for a patio and a Conditional Use Permit for a retaining wall. Staff recommends denial of the setback variance and approval of the Conditional Use Permit for the retaining walls with conditions for screening and wall modification to meet the setbacks. The Planning Commission discussed the item and asked questions of staff and the applicant, Brian Roath, 1200 Wildhurst Trail, who explained they made improvements in 2021 but did not realize permits were needed. The patio improves their enjoyment of the lake property. When the home was built in the 1970s, the building plan was altered in such a way that the patio, deck, and stairs went into the side yard setback. They are willing to move the deck steps and remove the parts of the patio that encroach, but would like to retain a small amount to make a good transition. He had letters from engineers, arborists, and landscapers. He said the retaining wall was planned as a shared wall between neighbors. RECESS & RECONVENE Chair Bollis recessed the meeting at 7:29 p.m. The meeting was reconvened at 7:34 p.m. Chair Bollis opened the public hearing at 7:34 p.m. Sandy Rasmussen, 1186 Wildhurst Trail, the neighboring property since 1991, gave a history of improvements to the lot, including changes to property lines. She said the original owners added an asphalt walkway, fire pit, seeding, screen porch, and deck. The next owners added riprap to the shoreline, Page 3 of 5 152 Minutes Planning Commission Regular Meeting Monday, August 18, 2025, 6:00 PM City Council Chambers 2780 Kelley Parkway, Orono, MN 55356 and the current owners, the Roaths, who purchased in 2015, added a 10 X 12 shed and the patio extension, and the retaining wall. The homes are close, and water from the neighbor's roof through a gutter system causes erosion on their property. The Rasinussens have paid for a survey to be done. Set- back intrusions have been compounded by the retaining wall as well as erosion. The Rasmussen are concerned about the height of the wall and the danger of falls. They have been told the trees in the retaining wall will die in the next five years, and are concerned they are in danger of coming down in a storm because the root systems are gone. They are asking for the setback to be returned and making the retaining wall safe. Brian Rasmussen, 1186 Wildhurst Trail, said there was no erosion before the neighboring lot was cleared Jay Nygard, 1386 Rest Point Rd, asked about the engineering study and the height of the previous retaining wall. He said Roath, as park commission chair, should have known better than to commit such an egregious violation to his yard and the neighbor's yard. He advocated for returning the slope to the way it was. Brian Turbeville, 997 Wildhurst Trail, said he believes there was confusion, and this situation started innocently. It may not have been intentional, but it is not OK to let it be remediated in a non -conforming way. The retaining wall was not needed for the trees. Barbara Schmidt, 50 Landmark Drive, said it's unbelievable that the Park Conunission chair for over five years doesn't know to get a permit, and that people should not be allowed to do these things and get an after -the -fact permit. If that is allowed, it will be repeated all over the lake. She said the lot needs to be restored. Dave Velander, 5655 Alexander Drive, said the situation is ridiculous and the City needs to play by the rules. Chair Bollis closed the public hearing at 8:08 p.m. Planning Commissioners had more questions for the applicant, who contended that a portion of the encroaching patio and the stair landing, and the stairs were already present when they bought the house in 2015. Commissioners suggested it was necessary to look at the application as two parts — the patio and the retaining wall. Building so close to the property line will inevitably cause issues with run-off and trespassing. Existing conditions are that approvals were given to allow the house partially in the setback, and if all parties are willing to work together, perhaps a solution can be found, and this would be a good time to fix erosion and nun -off issues, they said. They were concerned about the larger patio and would support just enough to have a safe landing area and to get over to the rest of the former patio. Commissioners supported tabling the application so the applicant can work with staff on the patio issue. Regarding the retaining wall, they questioned, with input from professionals, if it could be changed to not encroach on the neighbor's property or the setback, and not exceed height limits. They were not in favor of the proposed remedy for the wall. Ressler moved, Prchal seconded, to table LA25-000036,1200 Wildhurst Trail, After -the -Fact Variances and Conditional Use Permit for more information based on the discussion. VOTE: Ayes 6, Nays 0. Page 4 of 5 153 Date Application Received: 07/23/2025 Date Application Considered as Complete: 07/23/2025 60-Day Review Period Expires: 09/21/2025 To: Chair Bollis and Planning Commission Members Adam Edwards, City Administrator From: Melanie Curtis, Planner MCC Date: 18 August 2025 Subject: #LA25-000036, Brian Roath, 1200 Wildhurst Trail, After -the -Fact Variances and Conditional Use Permit Public Hearing Application Summary: The property owner is requesting after -the -fact approvals for a variance to allow a patio constructed within the required 7.5-foot side yard, and a variance and conditional use permit ("CUP") for tiered retaining walls constructed within 75 feet of the lake and within the 5-foot setback from the side yard. Staff Recommendation: • Denial of the setback variance for the patio and improvements near the house; • Denial of the setback variance for the retaining walls; and I of the CUP for retaining walls within the 75-lake setback with conditions. See Page 7. Background In the summer of 2024, the City became aware that improvements, consisting of a new patio off the home located within the 7.5-foot side setback and across the property line, and tiered retaining walls (within the side yard and 75-foot setback from the lake) and extending across the property line, had been constructed on the subject property without City approvals. As constructed, each of the new improvements require land use approvals (variances for setback and a conditional use permit) in addition to construction permits. Since that time, staff has been working with the property owner to resolve the after -the -fact land use and permit approvals for the improvements. The property owner submitted pre -and post -construction plans of the patio area, constructed plans for the retaining walls, an engineering opinion, as well as comments from an arborist about the trees surrounding the walls on the subject property. Practical Difficulties Analysis Applicant Submittal Information: The applicant has identified the irregular lot lines and home orientation as practical difficulties supporting the requested variances. Additionally, they have provided supporting documentation regarding Practical Difficulties attached as Exhibit C, and should be asked for additional testimony regarding the application. Planning Staff Practical Difficulty Analysis: Staff does not identify practical difficulties in the land that support granting setback variances for the new encroachments. While the lot lines are not parallel to the home as the property owner assumed, each of the improvements is subject to construction permits. Had permits been requested, the property lines and setbacks would have been identified. The property has conforming locations to support patio improvements . The engineer's analysis of the retaining walls within the 75-foot lakeyard indicates that the walls were necessary to stabilize the slope, improve stormwater infiltration, and correct an erosion control condition. The retaining walls within the 75-foot lake setback must meet a 5 foot setback and be screened to preserve a natural shoreline view from the lake. 154 FILE # LA25-000036 18 August 2025 Page 2 of 7 LOT ANALYSIS WORKSHEET Section 6.12.1450 & 6.12.6940 — Setbacks.

The patio, stairs, and low walls near the home are required to meet a 7.5-foot setback. As constructed, they extend up to and across the property line. Retaining walls taller than 2 feet must meet a 5-foot side setback. The tiered walls in the lake yard are ±48 inches in height and extend up to and across the property line. As constructed, they must meet a 5-foot setback from the side property line. CUP for Walls within the 75-foot Lake setback (Chaster 6.12 Section 6240 The code provides for new walls within the lake yard via a CUP. The walls are approximately. According to Section 6.12.6240, new walls and replacement walls greater than four feet in height must be: 1. Designed to correct an established erosion problem; and 2. Suitable given the demonstrated need; and 3. Designed by a registered engineer or landscape architect, depending on project scope; and 4. Designed to be the minimum size necessary to control the erosion problem. GOVERNING REGULATIONS: Variance (Section 6.12.530) In reviewing applications for variance, the Planning Commission shall consider the effect of the proposed variance upon the health, safety, and welfare of the community, existing and anticipated traffic conditions, light and air, danger of fire, risk to the public safety, and the effect on values of property in the surrounding area. The Planning Commission shall consider recommending approval for variances from the literal provisions of the Zoning Code in instances where their strict enforcement would cause practical difficulties because of circumstances unique to the individual property under consideration, and shall recommend approval only when it is demonstrated that such actions will be in keeping with the spirit and intent of the Orono Zoning Code. Economic considerations alone do not constitute practical difficulties. Practical difficulties also include, but are not limited to, inadequate access to direct sunlight for solar energy systems. Variances shall be granted for earth -sheltered construction as defined in Minn. Stat. §216C.06, subd. 14, when in harmony with this chapter. The board or the council may not permit, as a variance, any use that is not permitted under this chapter for property in the zone where the affected person's land is located. The board or council may permit, as a variance, the temporary use of a one -family dwelling as a two-family dwelling. 155 FILE # LA25-000036 18 August 2025 Page 3 of 7 According to MN §462.357 Subd. 6(2) variances shall only be permitted when: 1. The variance is in harmony with the general intent and purpose of the Ordinance. The applicant requested after -the -fact setback variances to permit patio (and associated improvements) to be allowed as constructed within the 7.5 foot side setback, and the constructed retaining walls over 2 feet in height within 5 feet of the side property line within the lake yard. Although the property lines were not clearly identified or in the assumed location, submittal of an application for permits prior to construction would have illuminated this condition. There is no practical difficulty to permit further encroachment of the patio improvements or the new retaining walls. This criterion is not met. The variance is consistent with the comprehensive plan. The request to permit the as -constructed improvements within the setbacks is inconsistent with the comprehensive plan. This criterion is not met. The applicant establishes that there are practical difficulties. a. The property owner proposes to use the property in a reasonable manner not permitted by the official controls. The applicant's request to permit the improvements constructed within the setbacks without permits is not reasonable. The applicant should provide a revised plan for the patio and stairs that eliminates new encroachments and utilizes the existing non -conforming footprint without impact to the 7.5 foot side yard. This criterion is not met. b. There are circumstances unique to the property not created by the landowner; The new patio improvements and walls were installed by the property owner. This criterion is not met, and c. The variance will not alter the essential character of the locality. The requested variances will result in limited opportunities to create or maintain drainage within the property. Approval of this request would result in the improvements being out of character with the neighborhood and impacting the view from the lake. This criterion is not met. Additionally, City Code Section 6.12.530 provides additional parameters within which a variance may be granted as follows: 4. Economic considerations alone do not constitute practical difficulties. Economic considerations have not been a factor in the variance approval determination. 5. Practical difficulties also include, but are not limited to, inadequate access to direct sunlight for solar energy systems. Variances shall be granted for earth -sheltered construction as defined in Minn. Stat. § 216C.06, subd. 17, when in harmony with Orono City Code Chapter 6.12. This condition is not applicable. 6. The board or the council may not permit as a variance any use that is not permitted under Orono City Code Chapter 6.12 for property in the zone where the affected person's land is located. This condition is not applicable, as residential improvements are allowed in the LR-8 District. 7. The board or council may permit, as a variance, the temporary use of a one -family dwelling as a two- family dwelling. This condition is not applicable. 8. The special conditions applying to the structure or land in question are peculiar to such property or immediately adjoining property. The slope on the property and the orientation of the property lines are conditions that are consistent with the immediate neighbors. This criterion is met. 9. The conditions do not apply generally to other land or structures in the district in which the land is located. The conditions of the property are not unique to the property. This criterion is not met. 156 FILE # LA25-000036 18 August 2025 Page 4 of 7 10. The granting of the application is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a substantial property right of the applicant. The variances in this situation are not necessary and would serve as a convenience to the owners. This criterion is not met. 11. The granting of the proposed variance will not in any way impair health, safety, comfort, or morals, or in any other respect be contrary to the intent of this chapter. This criterion is met. 12. The granting of such variance will not merely serve as a convenience to the applicant, but is necessary to alleviate demonstrable difficulty. The variances in this situation are not necessary and would serve as a convenience to the owners. This criterion is not met. The Commission may recommend, or the Council may impose conditions in granting variances. Any conditions imposed must be directly related to and must bear a rough proportionality to the impact created by the variance. No variance shall be granted or changed beyond the use permitted in this chapter in the district where such land is located. Conditional Use Permit (Sections 6.12.4090 & 6.12.6240) Section 6.12.6240 (5)(c) states that walls in the shore setback zone, new walls shall require a conditional use permit. New walls and replacement walls greater than 4 feet in height must meet the following conditions. The wall must be: Designed to correct an established erosion problem; the applicant provided an opinion from Kenneth W. Horns, a professional engineer, that states the retaining walls eliminated a steeply sloped eroded area that was difficult to maintain and provides some additional storm runoff retention with flatter planted areas they created. The walls were also designed to preserve mature trees. This criterion has not been met, and 2. Suitable given the demonstrated need; Mr. Horn's letter further states that the walls provide stability to the slope, the trees, and help to reduce erosion. Mr. Horns also indicates that the construction of the walls and associated grading improves stormwater runoff and increases opportunities for infiltration. This criterion has been met, and Designed by a registered engineer or landscape architect, depending on the project scope; Mr. Horn provided a cross-section of the constructed walls and an analysis of the installation based on his site observations and conversations with the contractor who installed the walls. This criterion has been met, and 4. Designed to be the minimum size necessary to control the erosion problem. The engineer's analysis indicates that the walls were necessary to stabilize the slope, improve stormwater infiltration, and correct an erosion control condition. This criterion has been met. The Planning Commission may recommend, and the Council may grant a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) as the use permit was applied for or in modified form. Based on the application and the evidence submitted, the city must find that the proposed use at the proposed location is, or will be: 1) Consistent with the community management plan; the protection and preservation of the natural lake shoreline is an identified priority of the Comprehensive Plan. The installation of new walls should not be the first option for slope stability. According to the applicant's engineer, the applicant converted much of the lakeyard area from an unmaintained slope to a manicured lawn and installed the retaining walls in the steeper hillside area of the slope. Ideally, the applicant should have explored adding deep-rooted vegetation to add stability. However, responding to the existing condition, to lessen the visual impact 157 FILE # LA25-000036 18 August 2025 Page 5 of 7 resulting from walls without further disturbance, the applicant should provide an updated landscape plan to create more screening of the walls as part of the CUP. This criterion is not met. 2) Compliant with the zoning code, including any conditions imposed on specific uses as required by Article V, Division 3 of the City Code; retaining walls within the lakeyard are permitted where they are deemed necessary to protect the integrity of the slope. The applicant provided an opinion from a professional engineer in support of the walls as constructed, as they provide slope stability, erosion control, and a stormwater benefit. A landscape plan providing more substantial screening of the walls must be submitted. This criterion is met. 3) Adequately served by police, fire, roads, and stormwater management; the property meets this standard. 4) Provided with an adequate water supply and sewage disposal system; the property meets this standard. 5) Not expected to generate excessive demand for public services at public cost; the property meets this standard. 6) Compatible with the surrounding area, as the area is used both presently and as it is planned to be used in the future; the prior removal of natural, unmaintained vegetation and installation of the stone retaining walls changed the existing character of the property. However, as installed, the walls are providing stability for the slope and the mature trees, and further disturbance may adversely impact both. The applicant should submit a landscape plan providing better screening of the walls from the lake. This criterion is not met. 7) Consistent with the character of the surrounding area, unless a change of character is called for in the community management plan, the installation of stone retaining walls without adequate vegetative screening has changed the character of the property. This criterion is not met. 8) Compatible with the character of buildings and site improvements in the surrounding area, unless a change of character is called for in the community management plan; the retaining walls are not adequately screened from view from the lake. The retaining walls and condition of the property are similar to the other properties on Forest Lake along Wildhurst Trail. This criterion is met. 9) Not expected to substantially impair the use and enjoyment of the property in the area or have a materially adverse impact on the property values in the area when compared to the impairment or impact of generally permitted uses; the lakeshore wall improvements on the subject property should not impact the neighboring property values or the enjoyment of the neighboring property owners. 10) Provided with screening and buffering adequate to mitigate undesirable views and activities likely to disturb surrounding uses; the applicant has not provided a landscape plan to provide adequate natural screening and buffering of the retaining wall improvements when viewed from the lake. This criterion is not met. 11) Not create a nuisance which generates smoke, noise, glare, vibration, odors, fumes, dust, electrical interference, general unsightliness, or other means; the walls on the subject property are not anticipated to create a nuisance situation. This criterion is met. 12) Not cause excessive non-residential traffic on residential streets, parking needs that cause a demonstrable inconvenience to adjoining properties, traffic congestion, or unsafe access; the retaining walls should not have any impact on residential streets or traffic. This criterion is met. 158 FILE # LA25-000036 18 August 2025 Page 6 of 7 13) Designed to take into account the natural, scenic, and historic features of the area and to minimize environmental impact; the applicant has not proposed adequate landscaping to screen the walls to be compatible with the character of the improvements within the surrounding area. This criterion is not met. 14) All exterior lighting shall be so directed so as not to cast glare toward or onto the public right-of-way or neighboring residential uses or districts; the lake yard improvements should not result in any lighting or glare being cast off the property toward the public street, the neighbors, or the lake, and 15) Not detrimental to the public health, public safety, or general welfare. This is true of the project. A CUP may be granted subject to such conditions as the Council may prescribe. Additionally, a CUP shall remain in effect as long as the conditions imposed by the City Council are observed, but nothing in this section shall prevent the city from enacting or amending official controls to change the status of conditional uses. Analysis The property owner provided professional opinions from an engineer and an arborist as to the necessity and appropriateness of the retaining wall improvements. Staff finds that the retaining walls within the 75-foot lake yard, although an after -the -fact condition, appear to provide a benefit regarding stormwater runoff, and may be appropriate and necessary to protect the trees and the integrity of the slope. The existing landscaping around/in front of the walls does not adequately screen the walls from the lake. Additional vegetative screening should be implemented. Refer to Exhibit F, the staff -annotated plans, to review the in -kind and new improvements. Near the home, the improvements (including the patio, landing, stairs, and walls) include both in -kind and new elements. The portions replaced in -kind, or in the area of the previously existing improvements, are able to be replaced or maintained with permits. The new elements, and those that encroach into the 7.5-foot side setback (and across the property line), should be removed or modified so they do not adversely impact the neighboring property, particularly from a drainage standpoint. Resolution of the encroachments constructed across the shared property line (with 1186 Wildhurst Trail) is a private matter between the two property owners. However, if the private resolution involves a change or removal of the retaining walls, additional City reviews and/or permit requirements may be necessary. Public Comments The patio and wall improvements encroach on 1186 Wildhurst Trail, the property to the north. The owners of 1186 have indicated that they want the encroachments removed from their property and prefer that all improvements meet setbacks and city requirements. No other comments from the public have been received. Issues for Consideration 1. Does the Planning Commission find that the property owner proposes to use the property in a reasonable manner that is not permitted by an official control? 2. Does the Planning Commission find that the variance(s), if granted, will not alter the essential character of the neighborhood? 3. Does the Commission find it necessary to impose conditions to mitigate the impacts created by the granting of the requested variance(s)? 4. Are there any other issues or concerns with this application? 159 FILE # LA25-000036 18 August 2025 Page 7 of 7 Planning Staff Recommendation Planning Staff does not find practical difficulties supporting the encroachments into the side setback areas. Staff recommends denial of the setback variances and approval of the CUP for the retaining walls with conditions and modifications as noted herein. Planning Commission should consider one or more of the following motions: 1. Approval as applied. Denial of the application as applied. Provide direction to the applicant. Partial approval, including: a. Approval of the conditional use permit for the retaining walls within the lake yard, with conditions for screening and wall modifications to meet the 5-foot side yard setback, as necessary. b. Denial of the setback variances for the improvements near the home and the lake slope walls and the patio. To accommodate a safe landing and access to the area, it may be necessary to modify the patio and landing to meet the 7.5-foot side setback. 160 From: b roath yahoo.com To: Melanie Curtis Subject: LA25-000036 Date: Friday, December 19, 2025 12:34:59 PM Dear Melanie Curtis, I am writing to respectfully request a 60-day extension of the current review period for our pending permit application related to a landscaping project at 1200 Wildhurst Trail.

Background: MCES will be completing a project to improve their sewer interceptors within the City of Orono. A portion of that project will include open cut trenching to replace pipes within the Lilac Lane right of way. The MCES Lift station 59 is located at the northern terminus of Lilac Lane which is also adjacent to the entrance to Orono's French Creek Park. The northern end of Lilac is currently gravel. In addition to serving as access to the lift station and turn around for the road it is also used for park parking. As part of the project the city requested and the MCES agreed to include the asphalt pavement for the entirety of the road's length including the turnaround and parking area as part of the restoration. There is no cost to Orono for this work. During the February 9th council meeting, council requested an update on plans for Lilac Lane. 3. Staff Recommendation: The City Engineer will provide a summary on coordination to date for the project. COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED No action requested - informational item. Exhibits A.

Minnesota Mayors Coalition Safety over Partisanship 184 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Kayla Drake kdrake@momentum-advocacy.com 314-448-8064 Minnesota Mayors Launch Coalition: Safety over Partisanship A coalition of mayors announces the formation of Cities for Safe and Stable Communities (MN). We are a grassroots, local government -led coalition dedicated to restoring stability and trust in government. While our cities have faced challenges for some time, Operation Metro Surge has created an urgent need for a unified local voice. As mayors, we know the names and faces in our cities. We are held accountable for the wellbeing of our schools, hospitals, and local businesses, and for upholding the rule of law for our residents. Current enforcement tactics are violating constitutional protections and actively harming the families we swore to serve. This surge is not just a "Minneapolis issue;" the fallout is felt across the state. This operation strains city resources, disrupts local economies, and tears at community cohesion. This is unsustainable, especially in light of the economic uncertainty of the past year. From small business closures and workforce instability to housing insecurity, the damage weakens Minnesota's entire economic engine. The toll on our families and children has been heavy. Students as young as five years old have been detained, leaving their friends and teachers to cope and advocate for their return. This approach undermines true public safety. The surge forces cities to absorb unsustainable costs. The costs are not just financial; we are seeing a dangerous erosion of trust between residents and local law enforcement that could take years to earn back. When residents are too afraid to call 911 or access city services, everyone is less safe. Residents should be able to interact with our cities without fear. We need a return to order that stops pulling officers away from essential needs, to focus on their true mission: protecting our neighborhoods. Our coalition is asking federal and state elected officials for immediate de-escalation and acknowledgement of economic harms, including potential 2026 relief funds to cities. As more communities join, we will assess the damages done and determine how we restore Minnesota institutions in the wake of these unprecedented setbacks. We believe in Minnesota's resilience. While federal agencies must answer for this damage, we know Minnesotans are the ones who will build back. We invite leaders — from the suburbs to Greater Minnesota — to join us. Together, we can chart a path that values safety, honors constitutional rights, and restores the peace our communities deserve. A future where cities can do their jobs and Minnesotans can feel secure in their communities. Undersigned Cities: • Bloomington • Brooklyn Center • Brooklyn Park • Columbia Heights • Eden Prairie • Edina • Golden Valley • Hopkins • Maplewood • Minnetonka • Richfield • St. Louis Park FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS What are the Cities for Safe and Stable Communities (MN)? A nonpartisan, coalition of city -led groups of Minnesota local governments coordinating around public safety, operational stability, and the local impacts of recent federal actions. Why was the coalition formed? Cities across Minnesota are experiencing similar strains on public safety resources, city operations, and community trust. The coalition exists to support coordination, reduce duplication, and provide a collective way for cities to communicate and respond while retaining full local control. What is the coalition's core statement? We are a nonpartisan coalition of Minnesotan cities working together to restore stability, trust, and effective local governance. Operation Metro Surge has created instability that strains local public safety resources and disrupts local economies —affecting businesses, schools, and families well beyond the Twin Cities. We stand for the rule of law and respect the role of federal immigration enforcement. We expect federal leadership to direct agencies in a way that recognizes local jurisdiction and responsibilities, while respecting the integrity of our cities as a whole. We are concerned that current enforcement approaches may risk undermining constitutional protections and place cities at legal and operational risk. We are calling for improved coordination grounded in the rule of law, due process, and respect for local governance. There is strength in numbers. When cities raise concerns individually, they can be dismissed. A unified, nonpartisan coalition cannot. We are urging immediate de-escalation, clearer coordination, and a return to stability so cities can do their jobs and Minnesotans can feel secure in their communities. Is this a political or advocacy organization? No. The coalition is focused on local governance, public safety, and effective intergovernmental coordination. Participation does not require lobbying, litigation, or public advocacy unless a city independently chooses to engage in those activities. How is the coalition governed? The coalition is coordinated by a managing committee of city managers who provide direction on strategy, messaging, and coordination. Consensus is the goal; when consensus cannot be reached, decisions are made by vote. How does the coalition direct the consultant? Momentum Advocacy works at the direction of participating cities, with primary points of contact designated by the managing committee. Momentum provides messaging guidance, draft materials, and coordination support, and designates point people for specific needs to streamline communication. Are coalition materials public? Coalition materials are intended for internal use unless explicitly designated otherwise. How are communications handled? Tactical or transactional information may be shared directly. Coalition -wide strategy and messaging materials are routed through the managing committee for coordination. Flour Exchange Building 310 4th Ave S #9200, Minneapolis, MN 55415 momentum-advocacy.com How should media inquiries be handled? Media inquiries related to the coalition should follow each city's typical internal media procedures. Momentum can assist with talking point preparation and may coordinate or follow up on requests stemming from coalition press advisories. Coalition -related media questions may be directed to kdrake@momentum-advocacy.com What does participation require? Participation is flexible and defined by each city. It may include staying informed through shared updates, sharing operational or data insights, coordinating messaging where helpful, and participating in joint engagement or media if desired. Does participation require public statements or media engagement? No. Cities choose whether and how they participate publicly. What if our city does not want to join formally? That is completely fine. Cities may stay informed, share perspective or data, selectively amplify shared messages, and revisit participation at a later time. Cities may contact akise@momentum-advocacy.com to receive updates. What types of information are shared? Information may include general operational impacts, public safety or service -delivery considerations, media inquiries and messaging context, and relevant federal or state developments. Cities control what they choose to share. Who should our point of contact be? City managers or administrators are asked to serve as the primary point of contact. Additional staff, including communications and policy staff, may also be included. How do we learn more or express interest? Cities may contact Alexis Kise (akise@momentum-advocacy.com) to request materials, ask questions, or indicate how they would like to engage. Is there a cost to participate in the Cities Coalition? There is no cost to stay informed or engage as an ally, Cities that choose to formally join receive shared communications support and coalition infrastructure and are asked to contribute an amount determined by the Executive Committee. Questions related to contributions or participation structure should be directed to Mike Funk (mfunk@minnetonkamn.gov).

The framework is designed to ensure consistency across cities while allowing local leaders flexibility to tailor messages to their audiences and context. Safety over partisanship Operation Metro Surge is making us less safe. We need immediate de-escalation and improved coordination, subject to constitutional rights and the rule of law. The operation pulls officers away from community safety needs and forces cities to absorb unsustainable costs. The cost is not just financial; trust is also eroding. Economic stabilization Operation Metro Surge is affecting Minnesota's economy well beyond large city centers. It is creating and exacerbating economic uncertainty. From business closures to workforce instability and housing insecurity, the impacts weaken Minnesota's economic engine. Local control and constitutional rights We stand for the rule of law and the constitutional rights of our residents. This is not a city -specific issue; it is a governance issue. Cities are held responsible for the wellbeing of our schools, hospitals, businesses, and neighborhoods, and must be able to govern locally in coordination with federal partners. We respect the role of federal immigration enforcement, but actions taken without considering local jurisdiction create risk for entire communities. Talking Points About the Coalition: Why Is the Group Forming? Intended Audience: Cities; State and Federal Policymakers To restore order, trust, and a sense of normalcy The current impact from federal operations has exacerbated a climate of instability that is disrupting our schools, closing local businesses, and stretching our resources beyond our ability to manage. By advocating for immediate de-escalation, this coalition is fighting to restore a sense of normalcy —where families feel secure in their neighborhoods and local law enforcement can focus on our community's specific needs, rather than managing the fallout of external chaos. • True safety is built on a foundation of the rule of law, which fosters trust between residents and local institutions. Restoring that trust is essential to maintaining safe, functional communities. To uphold constitutional rights and due process. • As local leaders, we swore an oath to the Constitution and take seriously our responsibility to uphold the rule of law and constitutional protections. • We respect the role of federal immigration enforcement and expect that enforcement to be carried out with respect for local conditions, responsibilities, and jurisdiction. We are concerned that current momentum advocacy enforcement approaches may risk undermining constitutional protections, including the 1st, 2nd, 4th, 5th, and 14th Amendments. • Clear coordination and accountability are necessary to ensure equal protection under the law, safeguard due process, and reduce legal and reputational risk for cities. We expect enforcement practices that respect due process, avoid discriminatory profiling, and align with constitutional standards for all people within Minnesota's borders. Strength in numbers • This is not limited to the Twin Cities. Communities across Minnesota are experiencing the impacts of instability and uncertainty. • By working together, cities are demonstrating that these concerns transcend partisanship and geography. When cities raise concerns independently, they can be dismissed. A unified, nonpartisan coalition of mayors speaking with a shared purpose carries greater weight and credibility. A single city fighting federal overreach can be ignored, but a unified coalition of mayors speaking with one voice is harder to ignore. What We Are Doing Our coalition is asking federal and state elected officials for immediate de-escalation and acknowledgement of economic harms, including potential 2026 relief funds to cities. As more communities join, we will assess the damages done.
