VARIANCES/CONDITIONAL USE PERMITS -RESOLUTION NO. 5195
Curtis introduced Susan Steinwall, applicant's attorney, representing the applicant. Curtis explained
the applicant is requesting the following variances and conditional use pennits:
1. A hardcover variance to allow 43 8 s.f. of hardcover within the 0-75' zone in order to constrnct a
4' wide boardwalk to the shore ending with a 177 s.f. landing in conjunction with a floodplain
restoration and buffer project.
2. A lake setback variance in order to construct a wire mesh fence along Brackett's Point Road
within 75'ofthe OHWL extending to the northeast 56'3".
3. A conditional use pem1it and variance to allow grading, filling and retaining wall constrnction
within the floodplain .
4. A conditional use permit in order to construct chimneys 40'8" in height where 30' is allowed and
a 50% height increase is pennitted by conditional use pennit.
Cmiis reported at its May 17, 2004 meeting, the Planning Commission voted 5-2 to recommend
approval of conditional use pe1mit for the chimney heights and approval of the variance and
conditional use pe1mit for construction and fill within the floodplain incorporating the
recommendations of the MCWD and the City Engineer. The Planning Commission recommended
denial of the hardcover variance and variance to allow a fence within 7 5' of the lake. She reported
the two dissenting Commissioners felt the proposed floodplain restoration was a valuable project and
they wanted to support approval of some hardcover variance for the boardwalk within 75' of the
0HWL for the floodplain restoration project.
Cmiis concuned with the Planning Commission 's recommendations, noting there were no hardships
to support the hardcover or fence variances.

VARIANCES/CONDITIONAL USE PERMITS -RESOLUTION NO. 5195 continued)
Murphy questioned if the boardwalk is denied what will be the access to the lakeshore.
Steinwall stated the landscape plan would need to be revisited if the boardwalk feature is denied.
Options include use regular grass turf or some combination of vegetation. She stated her client does
need some sort oflake access. Steinwall advised that her client, Mr. O'Shaughnessy, is very
interested in the prairie restoration project on this prope1iy, and proposes to build the boardwalk with
spacings to allow infiltration and at a height that would allow light for plantings to grow underneath
the boardwalk. Steinwall distributed photographs to illustrate her client's concept for the prairie
restoration project.
Murphy mentioned that David Ralm, Plaiming Commissioner, has encouraged the City to look at the
changes to the City's hardcover requirements. He asked if the boards are spaced far enough apart is it
then still a hardcover issue. Murphy indicated that this proposed landscaping design is moving in a
good direction and suppo1is this concept, and pointed out the MCWD is a proponent of wetland and
shoreland buffers like this proposed prairie restoration. Murphy acknowledged there is no hardship
but he personally supports the landscape and boardwalk concept.
Murphy asked for infonnation about the existing boardwalks in use around Lake Mi1metonka.
McMillan advised the LMCD allows boardwalks over cattails marshes to get to waters edge instead
of allowing dredging as it did not hann the lakeshore vegetation and the MnDNR uses boardwalks in
certain locations, too.
McMillan indicated as a member of the LMCD she was a proponent oflakescaping, and sees this
application as a privately funded lakescaping project that should be supported. She recognized that if
the restoration project is installed and if in five years the boardwalk was proposed, it would be
considered because the restoration would then be an environmentally sensitive area, i.e. a hardship
would exist then. She reiterated that if the restoration area does as it is intended, then it would
become a future hardship factor by making lake access difficult or undesirable through a sensitive
vegetation enviromnent.
McMillan stated the City should not be discouraging the applicant, but acknowledged the City
Zoning Code currently does not accommodate such a restoration project. She urged the City to
consider this a step in the right direction and stated she was strongly in favor of approving a
hardcover variance for this applicant.
White pointed out the application hasl % hardcover proposed within the 75' zone and 24.3%
hardcover within the 75-250' zone, which does not require a variance, for a total of 25.3% on the
whole property which is almost not a variance.
Sansevere asked Gaffron for his opinion about the ramifications of approving the hardcover variance.
Gaffron responded that if the City began to allow more open-spaced decks to allow infiltration and
not be counted as hardcover, he believed this would open a 'Pandora's box' of issues. However, as

long as the area is maintained as proposed restoration then a hardship condition would exist and
continue to exist; in this case, allowing a boardwalk is similar to the steps/stairs permitted on
lakeshore slopes, as it provides access to the lake under a hardship condition. He stressed the need
for requiring a condition for approving the restoration project to be maintained pennanently.
Mabusth interjected a summary of the Plam1ing Commission minority opinion. If the boardwalk was
to be permitted, it should be limited to a 4' width and to a height no greater than 30" in order to avoid
the Building Code requirement for a railing. Also, there was no landing approved. These conditions
would minimize the structure's visual impact.
Curtis advised the proposed landing is 177 s.f. or about 1 0' x 17'. McMillan and White expressed
their opinion that some sort of landing at the end of a boardwalk would be needed for practical
purposes. Gaffron pointed out the dock extends beyond the proposed landing.
Murphy withdrew his comments suppmiing wide spacing upon hearing Gaffron's reservations and
potential issues. McMillan added that she supports the need to control hardcover and structures in the
0-75' zone to minimize hardcover impacts. White noted the Three Rivers Parks District successfully
manages and utilizes boardwalks over metro area wetlands because boardwalks are not as invasive
and allow people to get out to see the natural settings.
Sansevere asked if there is no other access to the lake other than the proposed boardwalk. Stein wall
explained there is grass turf there now but the applicant is very interested in the prairie restoration
project and planting native :floodplain shrubs and grasses.
Murphy asked for a description of the proposed mesh fence material. Steinwall replied the fencing
will be placed within the shrubs and stated the existing road curve and the need to be parallel to the
roadway for security purposes cause the hardship. Cmiis confim1ed the fence is not proposed to be
chainlink. Murphy questioned the reasons for denying the fence for the short distance when the fence
within shrubbery is visually discreet.
Gaffron pointed out the only hardship may be for security from the public road so close to a private
lake access. Also, a proposed fence should not block others' lakeshore views. White indicated that
he does not suppmi lakeshore fences but this site may warrant a fence variance, though he
recommended the conditions be very specific, if approved.
Sansevere questioned why the applicant does not want to have turf rather than a boardwalk to the lake
that could be wider than 4'. Steinwall explained the applicant wants to have the look achieved by the
:floodplain restoration as an aesthetic and environmental positive to Lake Minnetonka. She added Mr.
O'Shaughnessy would be a more eloquent proponent of his restoration project than she. Steinwall
indicated that turf would be a fallback choice.

VARIANCES/CONDITIONAL USE PERMITS -RESOLUTION NO. 5195 continued)
Sansevere asked for Gaffron's opinion regarding the potential hardship created by the proposed
floodplain restoration project. Gaffron stated the proposed floodplain restoration project creates a
hardship as along as there is a condition that the boardwalk remains only as long as the restoration
project exists; this would address a future situation when it may be decided to mow the area and
conve1i it to turf.
McMillan explained the floodplain restoration projects are desirable especially in low, wet areas that
otherwise would be attempted to be filled, and also, the projects promote diversified wildlife habitat
versus a mono-culture lawn.
Curtis rep01ied the applicant's landscape architects are proposing the boardwalk be constructed
within the plantings to be less visible from the lakeside and it could be more serpentine to minimize
visual impacts. She added she thought a mowed path would be more visually apparent.
Sansevere asked planning staff if they were now suppo1iive of the proposed boardwalk/hardship
variance and if staff raised their issues to the Planning Commission. Gaffron replied that initially
staff did not find any hardship to justify the variance; however, McMillan's concept of the floodplain
restoration project creating the hardship appears to be persuasive as a reasonable hardship.
Mabusth explained the Plmming Commission as a whole was not opposed to the proposed floodplain
restoration project but discussed when to allow such a variance and their decision is based only on
existing conditions. They encouraged the applicant to install the project and return at a later date to
apply for a boardwalk through an established, existing condition. Mabusth expressed her suppo1i for
allowing the boardwalk with the floodplain restoration project to allow the property owner to access
the lakeshore.
Sansevere initiated discussion of whether approving the hardship variance would be seen as 'creating
a hm·dship.' Curtis agreed it might be a potential pitfall that could be favorable ifthere are more
vegetative buffers created on the lakeshore. She recommended there be very detailed findings for
this variance request if granted so it would not become an overall problem of others claiming to
create a hardship.
White interjected that granting this variance may become an incentive for other property owners to
undertake what is an expensive restoration eff01i.
McMillan commented that the planned vegetative restoration might actually prevent outside storage
in the floodplain that is seen with turfed shorelines.
Sansevere requested information about the timing of the boardwalk construction. It was explained
that the planted vegetation takes several years to become established; Gaffron referred to the MnDNR
landing at Maxwell Bay and that the first 2-3 years it looked similar to a lawn but eventually it
becomes mature. Sansevere suggested that conditions of approval be detem1ined to have the

plantings done before the boardwalk is installed. Steinwall advised that the plantings would be done
immediately before the boardwalk is built.
Moorse initiated discussion of the proposed mesh fence in the 0-75' zone. He advised that there have
been prior requests for fence variances due to secmity reasons in the 0-75' zone and there may be
many property owners who would be interested in a security fence in the 0-7 5' zone. Moorse
indicated security purposes are not a hardship. Steinwall emphasized the applicant is interested in the
fencing nnming parallel to the road and the curve of the road itself runs into the 0-7 5' zone. The
applicant does not propose to run the fence perpendicular to the lake. Curtis and Gaffron explained
the proposed fence includes a 50' distance into the 0-75' zone as it follows the road and there would
be a gap of no fence from its end at the road to the lake. Curtis added that there is an existing fence
there now along the road. Moorse summarized the applicant's position as that there is a road in the 0-
75' zone and the applicant intends to run a new, imbedded fence only along the road to the property
line. McMillan questioned the secmity reasoning for the fence, acknowledging that the entire
property boundary is not proposed to be fenced due to the gap at the lakeshore.
Murphy moved, McMillan seconded, to adopt Resolution No. 5195 approving a hardcover
variance to allow 438 s.f. of hardcover within the 0-75' zone in order to construct a 4'
boardwalk to the shore ending with a 177 s.f. landing for Roger D. O'Shaughnessy at 1265

BROWN ROAD SOUTH-PRD SUBDIVISION -PRELIMINARY PLAT
Gaffron presented the proposed PRD Subdivision with 14 acres dry buildable and 6 acres in wetland
with Long Lake Creek meandering thrnugh the property. He illustrated the subject property's site
location, noting its proximity to Kallestad Acres and the 40' corridor owned by the Dunn's that
provides access to the subject property as well as another 10' of easement on the edge of Lot 1 of
Kallestad Acres. After reviewing several possible layouts in Sketch Plan review, the Planning
Commission concluded that this site lends itself to clustering of lots as opposed to lots spread out
over all the dry buildable areas. The PRD proposes a 7-lot residential plat with an overall density of
2.0 acres, with some lots smaller than 1 acre, clustered around the cul-de-sac. The existing house is
proposed to remain. Setbacks proposed would meet the Zoning Code 1-acre setback requirements.
Due to the Long Lake Creek course, Gaffron noted that the shoreland setbacks would apply, as well
as wetlands. The OHWL affects only two proposed lots. The steep slopes are not detem1ined to be
bluff areas. Gaffron advised that revised grading plans were received last week; said documents were
provided to the City Council.
Referencing the May 21, 2004 Planning Commission recommendation for areas to be preserved via
conservation easement or similar open space dedications covering multiple individual properties
rather than within one or more platted outlots, Gaffron strongly recommended that the open space be
preserved as an outlot. He explained staffs rationale (included in the staff report), including:

Rahn summarized the Planning Commission was seeking a 15% lot coverage by structure, minimization of all
hardcover to the recommended standards of 3' sidewalk, 8 'driveway, 8 'x8' turnaround or whatever is
stipulated in the code for a turnaround on a county roadway. Chair Mabusth asked for the standards to be
provided to the applicant.
Chair Mabusth asked for other comments. A public member, Henry Lazniarz, proposed consideration of
allowing a driveway with two hard surface tire tracks to greatly minimize hardcover. Gaffron responded this
option has maintenance problems as does driveway pavers and that property owners become unhappy with
them and pave them over, resulting in full coverage anyway. Therefore, the City's hardcover ordinance does
not permit the option of strips or pavers.
Leslie interjected that the strips can be installed but will result in no reduction in the hardcover percentage .
Chair Mabusth asked for further public comments. There were none.
Chair Mabusth asked the applicants if they have received enough guidance to revise the proposal.
Gaffron summarized that based on the surveyor's measurements received at the meeting, the lot coverage by
structure is 2508 s.f. and the direction is to minimize sidewalks and driveways but is not able to determine the
hardcover percentage at this time .
Gaffron indicated the application could be returned to the Planning Commission on June 21, 2004, and with a
Planning Commission recommendation, the matter could likely be scheduled for the June 28, 2004 City
Council meeting.
Bremer suggested the applicants should make the structure even smaller to reduce lot coverage to less than
15% to make an impact on the hardcover percentage .
Fritzler moved, Bremer seconded, to table Application #04-3009, James and Darcy Loffler, 1690

other variances for lot area and lot coverage by structure.

AND CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT, PUBLIC BEARING (8:44-9:37 p.m.)
Curtis explained the applicant's request for three variances and two conditional use permits in order to
construct a boardwalk to the shore ending in a landing, to construct a wire mesh fence along Brackett's Point
Road, to grade, fill and construct a retaining wall in the floodplain and to construct chimneys 40'8" where 30'
is allowed. She noted there was change in boardwalk width from 6 ' to 4' boardwalk width, which will result
in a reduction in the hardcover percentages from 550' to 438 s.f. yet to be confirmed. Curtis advised that the
city received two letters from neighbors that are requested to be read into the record. She pointed out the
Issues for Consideration outlined in the Staff Report, dated May 3, 2004.
Curtis concluded by recommending the following:
1. Approval of the conditional use permit to allow chimney heights of 40' 8" where a 30' maximum is
normally allowed.
2. Approval of the variance and conditional use permit for construction and fill within the floodplain
incorporating the recommendations of the MCWD and the City Engineer.
3. Denial of the hardcover variance for 438 s.f. of hardcover within the 0-75' setback zone.
4. Denial of the variance to allow a fence within 75' of the lake.

(11. #04-3012 ROGERD. O'SHAUGHNESSY, Continued)
Chair Mabusth questioned if the applicant received copies of the two neighbors' letters and Curtis confirmed
the letters were provided to the applicant. Chair Mabusth read into the record the following two letters:
a. Joann Jundt, Southways, 1400 Brackett's Point Road, dated May 17, 2004
b. James & Beverly Nyce, 1280 Brackett's Point, dated May 14, 2004
Roger O'Shaughnessy, 1265 Brackett's Point Road, advised he spoke with Joann Jundt on May 17, 2004 and
told her that his engineer is confident the stormwater runoff patterns will not change, though may change
temporarily during construction and that the design is intended to allow the same amount of flow as currently.
He asked the City Engineer to confirm their storm water calculations.
Cmiis indicated the City Engineer has seen the plans but his comments have not yet been returned.
Chair Mabusth asked if this application would be reviewed by the MCWD and Curtis indicated that it is under
MCWD review.
Mr. O'Shaughnessy acknowledged that the neighbors' letters, as well as comments he received from
Pillsbury's, about the traffic at the driveway entrance. He described the heavily overgrown hedge that
currently encroaches onto Brackett's Point Road. He explained their landscape plans will have plantings about
7-10' back from the road and can taper the planned vegetation to create a good view from driveway entrance
for improved safety. He assured the Planning Commission he did not want to construct anything that was not
safe and will rely on his landscape architect and the engineers to create a safe design.
Chair Mabusth indicated the Public Services Director as part of the public roadway would review the new
driveway access.
Mr. O'Shaughnessy commented on the boardwalk idea and his interest in restoring his lakefront to a more
natural environment with tall grasses and other features, including an elevated boardwalk allowing plantings
underneath the boardwalk so as not to be wading through the tall grasses when walking through it. After
reading Curtis' staff report, he asked his landscape architect to consider more mitigating features, including
some spacing between decking boards and less width to reduce the size, and pulling the landing back from the
shoreline to allow some plantings to improve viewability from the lake. He acknowledged he understands the
concept of the boardwalk runs contrary to code and does not claim a hardship due to the flat elevation of his
lot, but expressed his excitement to restore the lakefront to natural vegetation as a lake stewardship project
rather than to mow the lawn to the lakefront.
Mr. O'Shaughnessy explained the purpose of the fence on the road is not to close off the property but mainly
to provide an option to have a dog to help control the large flocks of geese on the property. He pointed out the
proposed mesh fence location intended to be buried instead the vegetation.
Mr. O'Shaughnessy asked the Planning Commission to consider the boardwalk not as hardcover but as an
environmental design feature compatible with the City's ultimate goal to have a community not developed
fully at the lakefront.
Chair Mabusth asked for information about the proposed water treatment beds. Mr. O'Shaughnessy explained
the tall grasses tend to treat the surface water as it flows to the lake and dramatically drops organic material
levels into the lake, and, that the tall grasses do not require herbicides or fertilizers so are environmentally
friendly.
Chair Mabusth asked for public comments. There were none.
Leslie asked for information about the proposed guesthouse and requirements for a conditional use permit.

(11. #04-3012 ROGER D. O'SHAUGHNESSY, Continued)
Mr. O'Shaughnessy explained they eliminated a detached guesthouse and now are proposing an attached guest
accommodations with no kitchen in it. It is only bedrooms with a family/living room area and a cabinet for a
coffee pot or whatever, and not intended to be a kitchen.
Chair Mabusth stated she did not think the guest rooms meet the City's criteria for requiring a conditional use
permit. Gaffron concmTed, as long as there is no kitchen and it is attached to the main residence.
Jurgens referred to the Jundt letter and its concerns about too much drainage and asked for information about
the potential flooding area.
Mr. O' Shaughnessy stated that when he spoke with Ms. Jundt she expressed concern for too little drainage.
Curtis explained Ms. Jundt is concerned about walls or benns blocking surface drainage.
Jurgens asked the applicant to explain the proposed tile collection system.
Mr. O'Shaughnessy pointed out the low point on Brackett's Point Road, at about 931.5' or 931.8', noting the
lakefront elevation is 931.0' resulting in very little slope. He explained the drain tile would assist in moving
water into the permeable soils. There is a break in the berm at a point where the water comes across the road
normally. He stated they will not be accelerating the water at all and the addition of walls and the little berms
will not change the water flow. Mr. O'Shaughnessy advised that he sent copies of his plans to the names on
the Property Owners List attached to his application.
Chair Mabusth indicated the City Engineer and the MCWD would review the applicant's storm water
management plans.
Bremer initiated discussion on the safety issue raised in Ms. Jundt's letter and asked the applicant ifhe had this
reviewed by his consultants.
Mr. O'Shaughnessy stated he had not had a traffic engineer look at it, though his architect and landscape
architect believe the plans will provide good visibility at the driveway entrance. He offered to move the
driveway if a more safe location is determined, though he would prefer to keep the driveway off the eastern
edge to maintain privacy.
Kempt commented about the traffic created by sightseers traveling on Brackett's Point Road although they
travel slowly, about 5 mph. He also pointed out that the tree trimmers recently had flattened the silt fencing on
the subject property and this needs to be attended to.
Mr. O'Shaughnessy stated he contracted with the firm who removed the former house to maintain the silt
fencing.
Chair Mabusth asked for a description of the proposed mesh fencing material. Mr. O'Shaughnessy
commented that he did not really like the mesh-style fencing anyway and, if the fence were approved, he
would prefer to a more open and accessible style fence. The primary intent of the fence is for a dog and for
privacy and safety.
Chair Mabusth stated her support for the prairie restoration along the lakefront.
Jurgens asked about the purpose of the 40'8" tall chimneys. Mr. O'Shaughnessy explained the chimneys are
for fireplaces but his request to the architect for a 'collection of cottages on the shore' was the basis for the
house's contemporary design.

ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING
MONDAY, MAY 17, 2004
6:00 o'clock p.m.
(11. #04-3012 ROGER D. O'SHAUGHNESSY, Continued)
Chair Mabusth opened discussion of the four parts of the application:
1. Conditional use permit request to construct chimneys 40' 8" in height where 3 0' is allowed.
Fritzler commented that the height requirement should be conformed to.
Kempf pointed out the building design is low and very respectful of the neighbors' views.
2. Conditional use permit and variance to allow grading, filling and retaining wall construction within
the floodplain.
3. Hardcover variance for 438 s.f. of hardcover within the 0-75' setback zone.
Chair Mabusth asked how long it would take to complete the planned restoration. Mr. O'Shaughnessy replied
that it took about three (3) years to be established in his previous experience in Menominee, WI.
Chair Mabusth asked the elevation of the proposed boardwalk. Mr. 0' Shaughnessy explained the average
elevation is about 2.5' and will be 4' wide with spacing to allow light and precipitation to get through to the
under plantings, acting more like a natural landscape than a hardcover feature.
Rahn pointed out that if the boardwalk is joined to the house and is not considered landscaping and is over 30"
it will require railings according the MN Building Code. It was suggested the boardwalk could be stepped-
down right at the house before it reaches the 0-75' setback and could follow the property's contours.
Bremer stated she liked the idea of the boardwalk but could not support it, referring to prior applications for
walkways to the lakefront, unless it can be shown the reduced width at 4' and there actually will be growth
underneath it.
Gaffron asked the applicant if the nature of the 0-7 5' zone such that it cannot be walked on due to soils and
moisture. Chair Mabusth advised that boardwalks were pennitted if the property owners could not get access
to the lake.
Rahn indicated that an area with tall grass is not a hardship in the way that prior applications were allowed due
to wet soils. He stated he did not support a landing or decking at the lakeshore, as this would be inconsistent
with prior decisions.
Mr. 0' Shaughnessy responded that he did not know if it was needed for access over wet soils, but it may be
more an architectural feature for access through the tall grasses and to avoid ticks in the grasses.
Gaffron indicated that the restoration area may be a Type I wetland. He acknowledged that current Code does
not provide any incentives for this kind of proposed restoration and that the Planning Commission should
consider discussing the issue of granting some incentives to encourage such lakeshore restorations and natural,
unfertilized buffers at a future date.
Mr. O'Shaughnessy added that the boardwalk and landing would also have been convenient for his two
handicapped employees.
Ms. Susan Steinwall encouraged the Planning Commission to consider their proposal for a non-impervious
surface as meeting the Code's intent to eliminate hardcover in the 0-7 5' zone and the gain is tremendous when
restoring lakeshore. She commented that the watershed districts and many cities support natural restorations
and buffers along the lakeshore.

MONDAY, MAY 17, 2004
6:00 o'clock p.m.
(11. #04-3012 ROGER D. O'SHAUGHNESSY, Continued)
Chair Mabusth responded that the Planning Commission appreciates her position and should be discussing the
issue and encouraging lakeshore buffer zones, but currently the Code looks at a boardwalk as hardcover and
takes into consideration its hardcover calculations.
Jurgens indicated he would support a boardwalk feature with a condition that the natural buffer be maintained
into the future.
Rahn asked the applicants if they considered using a mowed, meandering path instead of a raised boardwalk.
Mr. O'Shaughnessy replied the reason to raise the boardwalk was to allow for vegetative plantings underneath
it in order to minimize hardcover. Ms. Susan Steinwall explained that a mowed path would require a different
type of grass than the proposed natural prairie grass.
Rahn indicated it is difficult to find the hardship to allow the boardwalk.
Kempf stated his support for the architectural, ecological and aesthetic factors of the proposed restoration area.
He would be in favor of the boardwalk with a condition it be maintained into the future, but was not in favor of
the landing. He also noted the general supportive comments from the Planning Commission for the lakeshore
restoration and buffer features.
Ms. Steinwall agreed to accept a proposed condition to maintain the restored area into the future.
4. Variance to allow a fence within 75' of the lake.
It was a consensus to accept staffs recommendation on this variance.
Mr. O'Shaughnessy indicated granting of the fence variance was not that significant to the project.
Leslie moved, Bremer seconded, to recommend the following actions for Application #04-3012, Roger
O'Shaughnessy, 1265 Brackett's Point Road:
1. Approval of the conditional use permit to allow chimney heights of 40' 8" where a 30'
maximum is normally allowed.
2. Approval of the variance and conditional use permit for construction and fill within the
floodplain incorporating the recommendations of the MCWD and the City Engineer.
3. Denial of the hardcover variance for 438 s.f. of hardcover within the 0-75' setback zone.
4. Denial of the variance to allow a fence within 75' of the lake.
VOTE: Ayes 5, Nays 2.
Chair Mabusth stated she wanted to see the City support property owners in the restoration of lakeshore
similar to the O'Shaughnessy's proposal. She urged the Planning Commission to take up this issue for
discussion. Chair Mabusth remarked her approval of the boardwalk would be conditioned on it meeting the
less than 30" height, 4' wide with no landing and only through the portion through the restored prairie area,
and would also deny the fence variance in the 0-75' setback zone.
Leslie advised the applicant to consider returning to seek approval on the hardcover variance in the future.
Chair Mabusth and Kempf explained they concurred with all staff recommendations except for the hardcover
variance/boardwalk, which they would have approved with the conditions Chair Mabusth summarized above.

12. #04-3014 TIMOTHY POWERS, 3210 NAVARRE LANE, VARIANCE, PUBLIC HEARING
(9:37-9:55 p.m.)
Lynn Powers, 3210 Navarre Lane, applicant, was present.
Gaffron presented the application for a 24.5' rear yard setback variance when 30' is normally required and
24.5' currently exists in order to construct a second story above the existing first story residence, and to add
two garage stalls. The application is for a remodeling of the existing structure and not a rebuild, and submitted
an opinion that the existing foundation will support the 2nd story addition. The existing garage is 24.5' from
the rear lot line, and is proposed to be expanded eastward at that same setback. Gaffron advised the applicant
proposed to remove the existing shed in an effort to decrease the non-conforming rear yard. He pointed out
the adjacent lot to the north is the neighbor most affected by the non-conforming rear yard setback, however,
the applicant's rear yard is acting as that neighbor's side year, where a 10' setback would normally be
required.
Gaffron indicated staff recommends approval of the rear yard setback as submitted, including the removal of
the existing shed. He advised there were no hardcover issues to be addressed. Gaffron noted that if in the
future the applicant wants to install the circular driveway it would require the Public Services Director review
and approval.
Lynn Powers, applicant, explained the architectural plans do show a more formal entry with a circular
driveway but that is not being requested at this time. Chair Mabusth advised that three curb cuts on a smaller
property might be difficult to acquire pennits. Ms. Powers replied that if the circular driveway becomes
impossible than perhaps a walkway could be considered.
Ms. Powers confirmed they were advised the existing foundation can support a second story addition as it has
good footings.
Chair Mabusth invited the public to comment.
Julie Copeland, 2180 Kenwood Way, stated she is the neighbor to the rear of the subject property. She
indicated she is about 60' from the house and privacy is her primary concern. With a second story addition,
she explained she would be more exposed, and noted that her side yard is where she plays with her dogs. Ms.
Copeland asked for information about whether there will be a fence, what type of vegetation will be used, what
type of rooms will be on the second story and that the property is being improved for investment purposes, but
that she plans to remain.
Ms. Powers confirmed that it is an investment property. She explained they intend to put up a nicer fence than
what is there currently and will try to accommodate any issues of privacy. The second story main view will be
to the front not to the rear yard. Ms. Powers stated the second story would have a master bedroom with bath,
a walk-in closet, another bath and a smaller bedroom. The part of the house facing Ms. Copeland's property
will have smaller windows, about 24-30" in size. She also stated the existing shed and deck will be removed.
Chair Mabusth asked for further public comments. There were none.
Fritzler moved, Leslie seconded, to recommend approval of Application #04-3014, Timothy and Lynn
Powers, 3210 Navarre Lane, granting a rear yard setback variance to allow a rear yard setback of 24.5'
when 30' is normally required and 24.5' currently exists in order to construct a second story above the
existing first story, and to add two garage stalls, and to recommend approval of the plans as submitted,
including the removal of the existing shed.

Point Road within 75 ' of the OHWL extending to the northeast 56' 3".
3. A conditional use permit and variance to allow grading, filling and retaining wall
construction within the floodplain.
4. A conditional use permit in order to construct chimneys 40' 8" in height where
30 ' is allowed and a 50% height increase is permitted by conditional use permit.
Staff Recommendation: Planning Department Staff recommends the following :
1. Approval of the conditional use permit to allow chimney heights of 40' 8" where
a 30 ' maximum is normally allowed.
2. Approval of the variance and conditional use permit for construction and fill
within the floodplain incorporating the recommendations of the MCWD and the
City Engineer.
3. Denial of the hardcover variance for 550 s.f. of hardcover within the 0-75'
setback zone .
4 . Denial of the variance to allow a fence within 75' of the lake.

K. Letter from City Engineer, Tom
Kellogg dated May 11, 2004
The property is located on the western side of Brackett's Point Road and has over 600' of
lakeshore. The property owner has removed the existing home and is planning a new
residence on the existing 3.3 acre lot. The applicant has proposed a home which meets
all setbacks, hardcover within the 75'-250' zone, and is not limited on structural
coverage.
As part of the redevelopment of this property, the owner is proposing to replace the
existing lake yard with native floodplain shrubs and grasses. Included in this, the
applicant is requesting a hardcover variance within the 0-7 5' zone in order to construct a
boardwalk to the lake through the native vegetation. A fence is also proposed to be
erected within 75' of the OHWL; the applicant has indicated that this wire mesh fence is
necessary for security and privacy.
A number of retaining walls and grading are also proposed as the result of stormwater
inundating the southern part of the property. This work will result in retaining walls,
drain tile, and a swale to direct the stormwater away from the property and also to
provide infiltration to the restored native floodplain vegetation area prior to reaching
Lake Minnetonka. A portion of this work is proposed within the floodplain and the
applicant will seek the necessary approvals from the Minnehaha Creek Watershed
District.
In addition, the applicant has proposed a unique architectural design for the home, which
consists of a one-level residence with a height of approximately 20' with several
chimneys reaching heights of 40' 8". The chimney heights require a conditional use
permit.

May 3, 2004
Page 3 of 5
The applicant has proposed a wire mesh fence within 75' of Lake Minnetonka. The
Shoreland Zoning Ordinance prohibits any fence within 75' of the OHWL.
Hardcover Variance
The applicant has requested a variance for a 62'x 6' boardwalk and 207 s.f. landing in
order to have access to the lakeshore through the proposed native floodplain vegetation
and transition from boardwalk to a dock.
Flood Fringe District
The applicant has requested a variance and conditional use permit in order to construct an
retaining wall and to fill within the flood fringe. Retaining walls, grading and a drain tile
system have been designed to assist in managing the storm water which inundates the site
from Brackett's Point Road. These updates require a variance and a conditional use
permit under the Shoreland Overlay District.
Conditional Use Permit Review
Application of Section 78-1117 (Standards for floodway and flood fringe conditional
uses) to this request.
78-1117(a): All uses. No structure (temporary or permanent), fill, deposit, obstruction,
storage of materials, equipment, or other use may be allowed as conditional uses which,
acting alone or in combination with existing or reasonably anticipated future uses,
adversely affect the capacity of the floodway or increases flood heights.
FILE #04-3012
May 3, 2004
Page 4 of 5
1. No fill shall be deposited in the floodway, and any fill deposited in the flood
fringe shall be no more than the minimal amount necessary to conduct a
conditional use. Generally, fill shall be limited to that needed to grade or
landscape for that use and shall not in any way further obstruct the flow of
floodwaters.
a. The fill proposed for this application is the minimum amount necessary.
2. Spoil from dredging shall not be deposited in the floodway nor in the flood fringe.
a. Not applicable.
3. All fill shall be protected from erosion by vegetative cover in the form of grass,
natural ground covers, shrubs and trees as determined by the council.
a. The area to be filled and graded will be vegetated with native floodplain
shrubs and grasses.
4. All filling and grading activities shall be performed with only clean fill.
a. This requirement will be monitored by the City Engineer.
Hardship Statement
Applicant has completed the Hardship Documentation Form attached as Exhibit"B, and
should be asked for additional testimony regarding the application.
Hardship Analysis
In considering applications for variance, the Planning Commission shall consider the effect of the
proposed variance upon the health, safety and welfare of the community, existing and anticipated traffic
conditions, light and air, danger of fire, risk to the public safety, and the effect on values of property in
the surrounding area. The Planning Commission shall consider recommending approval for variances
from the literal provisions of the Zoning Code in instances where their strict enforcement would cause
undue hardship because of circumstances unique to the individual property under consideration, and
shall recommend approval only when it is demonstrated that such actions will be in keeping with the
spirit and intent of the Orono Zoning Code.
The Shoreland Overlay District allows stairways, lifts and landings in favor of major
topographic alterations on steep slopes and bluffs and the City views the hardcover from
such structures to be allowed within 75' of the lake. However, Planning Staff finds that
this property is very flat and does not require any topographic alterations for which to
access the lakeshore and an alternative path could be designed which would not be
considered hardcover.
Additionally, the Shoreland Overlay District prohibits fences from being constructed
within the required lake yard. As this property is a rebuild situation any existing fence
would be required to be removed as it would have a nonconforming status and all
nonconforming buildings/structures are required to be removed at the time of the
demolition of the existing principal structure. Staff does not find a hardship for granting
the variance to allow a fence within 75' of the lake.
FILE #04-3012
May 3, 2004
Page 5 of 5
Staff does find a hardship by which to grant the request to fill and construct retaining
walls within the floodplain. This is due to the low nature of this property and a
significant portion of the south half of the lot is within the floodplain rendering it
unbuildable. The retaining walls and alterations are in part to allow the property owner
access to the property during wet periods and to control the stormwater run off from the
street.
Issues for Consideration
I. Does the Planning Commission find that a hardship exists due to the flat lot to
justify granting the hardcover within the 75' lake setback to allow the boardwalk
and landing?
2. Does the security issue justify the 0-75' fence request, or are there other options
for demarcation and/or limiting pedestrian or traffic onto the property?
3. Are there any other issues or concerns with this application?
Staff Recommendation
Planning Staff recommends the following:
I. Approval of the conditional use permit to allow chimney heights of 40' 8" where
a 30' maximum is normally allowed.
2. Approval of the variance and conditional use permit for construction and fill
within the floodplain incorporating the recommendations of the MCWD and the
City Engineer.
3. Denial of the hardcover variance for 550 s.f. of hardcover within the 0-75'
setback zone.
4. Denial of the variance to allow a fence within 75' of the lake.

The Applicant seeks a variance from the City of Orono's Lakeshore Hard Cover and Land Alteration
Regulations (Orono City Code at Section 78-282). That Ordinance prohibits excavating, filling, hard cover,
temporary or pe1manent strnctures within 75 feet of the shoreline. The Applicant requests a variance from this
requirement to pe1mit constmction of 1) slatted boardwalk to permit access from the house to the lake without
disturbing an area to be replanted in native marsh and shore land vegetation thus eliminating the sod; and 2) a
fence paralleling Bracketts Point Road at the south end of the site. In addition, the Applicant seeks a variance to
allow grading and construction of retaining walls in the floodplain to facilitate on-site management of
stormwater runoff from Bracketts Point Road and the Applicant's property and to ensure that the Applicant will
have access to his property during wet periods.

HARDSHIP DOCUMENTATION FORM
This form is a required submittal for ALL variance applications. An application
will not be considered complete or placed on any meeting agendas until this form is
complete and submitted to the City.
Minnesota State Statue Section 394.27, Subdivision 7 requires that a hardship be
demonstrated in order for a variance to be granted. The hardship must be unique to the
property as variances run with the land and not the land owner. Personal and economic
situations are not considered valid hardships. In order for an application to be heard by
the Planning Commission and City Council a hardship having merit must be
demonstrated.
HOW DO l PROVE A HARDSHIP?
This form has 12 points outlining the basis City staff uses to determine if a hardship
exists and how the variance will affect the surrounding community. To prove a hardship,
address all the relevant points listed below and answer them as clearly as possible.
Since you are requesting the code exception, you have the burden of proving that the
variance is justified. The information the City receives is what is used in determining a
denial or approval recommendation. If you leave something out it will not be considered.
Please address each of these hardship criteria as they relate to the request (some may
not apply): ·

"The property in question cannot be put to a reasonable use if used under
conditions allowed by the official controls."
See attached.
"The plight of the landowner is due to circumstances unique to his property not
created by the landowner." The variance is made necessary by the unusual
configuration of lot especially at its southern end together with
elevation and route of Bracketts Point Road.
"The variance, if granted, will not. alter the essential character of the locality."
The variance, if granted, will be consistent with the character
of the locality.
"Economic considerations alone shall not constitute an undue hardship if
reasonable use for the property exists under the tenns of the Zoning Chapter."

HARDSHIP STATEMENT
1265 Bracketts Point Road
The Applicant intends to replace the sodded lawn currently lying within the 75 foot shoreline set
back area with a meadow consisting of native floodplain slm.1bs and grasses. The restoration of
the shoreland setback area from sod to native floodplain shrubs and grasses will provide a buffer
borde1ing Lake Mi1metonka that will help protect water quality, stabilize the lakeshore bank,
prevent erosion, and also assist in filtering out nutrients, sediments and other pollutants from
entering the lake.
The Applicant also seeks to maintain access to the lakeshore from his home. For that purpose,
the Applicant proposes to constrnct a slatted wood boardwalk. The boardwalk will be suspended
above the ground surface. The ground surface beneath the boardwalk will be stabilized with
erosion control fabric to prevent erosion in those areas where vegetation is not expected to
survive. For most of its extent, the boardwalk will be no greater than six feet in width. Near the
lake, the width of the boardwalk will be increased up to 15 feet, to help facilitate transition to a
dock, which is to be constructed in the future, and further protect the restored natural vegetation
from "staging" activities near the lakeshore.
If the variance were not granted, the Applicant would be unable to access the lakeshore without
damaging the native floodplain grasses to be planted in the shoreline set back area. The variance
is necessary to preserve the enjoyment of a substantial prope1iy right of the Applicant, i.e.,
access to and enjoyment of Lake Minnetonka, while encouraging the voluntary restoration of the
lakeshore area to native floodplain grasses and shrubs. Given the substantial benefit that Lake
Miimetonka will enjoy by this voluntary restoration, granting the proposed variance will not
impair the public health and safety, but rather will serve to encourage such values.
Fencing
The Applicant proposes to construct a wire mesh fence along the p01tions of the property that
fronts Bracketts Point Road and County Road 15. The purpose of the fence is to provide the
Applicant with security for his property, privacy and safety for Applicant's grandchildren who
will play on the prope1iy.
Only that portion of the fence that parallels Bracketts Point Road will encroach into the shoreline
set back area. This area is at the southerly end of the prope1iy and runs for a distance of
approximately 56 feet. At the property lines that are "perpendicular" to the lakeshore at both the
north and the south ends of the property, any necessary screening from adjacent roads and
prope1iies would be achieved through relatively dense plantings of native shrnbs and trees, rather .
than with a fence.
The requested variance is made necessary only as a result of the unusual configuration of
Bracketts Point Road. To the south of the Applicant's prope1ty, Bracketts Point Road
encroaches into the shoreline setback area and closely follows the lake shore. To be effective,
the fence should not stop arbitrarily, but rather should be allowed to follow the entire length of
the property as it follows Bracketts Point Road. Granting of the variance application is necessary
to provide the Applicant with substantial enjoyment of his prope1iy by providing pnvacy,
security and child safety.
Retaining Wall and Grading.
As shown in the topographical survey, the elevation of the southern half of the Applicant's
prope1iy is below the surface elevation of Bracketts Point Road. As a consequence, street
stormwater has traditionally drained onto the site. To provide stormwater rate control and water
quality control, the Applicant proposes to construct a retention area (i.e., an infiltration area) in
the southerly pmiion of .the prope1iy. On the easterly po1iion of the infiltration area (i.e.,
"upland" or towards Bracketts Point Road) a stone retaining wall will be constructed to enhance
the capacity of the infiltration area in a relatively flat portion of the site. A swale will be
constructed to direct stonnwater nmoff from Bracketts Point Road and the prope1iy to the
infiltration area. Because the topography in this area is extremely flat and only slightly above
the Ordinary High Water Elevation of Lake Mi1meton.ka, drain tile will be placed under the swale
and retaining wall to provide minimal gravity flow (at 0.4% slope) into the infiltration area. No
outlet directly into the lake is being proposed. The retaining wall will not encroach into the
lakeshore setback area, although the grading to create the infiltration area will encroach. The
infiltration area and swale will be planted with native floodplain species and it is expected that
the vegetation will provide some degree of water quality treatment.
In addition, it is necessary to elevate the area of the driveway in the floodplain so that the
Applicant may access his property during wet periods or when the elevation of Lake Mi1metonka
is higher than nomrnl. The mean high water level of Lake Minnetonka typically rises by at least
7 inches during the spring and summer. The elevated area of the driveway will be held by two
retaining walls on either side of the driveway entrance from Bracketts Point Road. A culve1i will
pass beneath the driveway entrance and through the retaining walls to allow stonnwater to
continue to flow through the swale into the infiltration area.
As shown by the attached Site Grading and Drainage Plan, the volume of fill in the floodplain
will be compensated by the volume of the cut into the floodplain. The holding capacity of the
floodplain, thus, should not be diminished, as demonstrated in the enclosed floodplain volume
calculations.
The topography at the southerly end of the site together with the configuration of Bracketts Point
Road as it travels south necessitates that stormwater handling be addressed in this single family
residential development. The proposed variance will not impair public health or safety; but
rather is expected to advance environmental concerns by handling stonnwater mnoff from
Bracketts Point Road in an environmentally responsible manner. Finally, by constrncting the
infiltration area together with the retaining walls and elevation of the driveway entrance, the
Applicant's access to and enjoyment of his property will be enabled by treating and handling
stormwater from the adjacent street in a controlled and environmentally responsible way.

Sec. 78-1117. Standards for floodway and flood fringe conditional uses.
(a) All uses. No structure (temporary or permanent), fill, deposit, obstruction,
storage of materials, equipment, or other use may be allowed as conditional uses which,
acting alone or in combination with existing or reasonably anticipated future uses,
adversely affect the capacity of the floodway or increases flood heights.
(1) No fill shall be deposited in the floodway, and any fill deposited in the
flood fringe shall be no more than the minimal amount necessary to
conduct a conditional use. Generally, fill shall be limited to that needed to
grade or landscape for that use and shall not in any way further obstruct
the flow of floodwaters.
(2) Spoil from dredging shall not be deposited in the floodway nor in the
flood fringe.
(3) All fill shall be protected from erosion by vegetative cover in the form of
grass, natural ground covers, shrubs and trees as determined by the
council.

(b) Structural work for flood control. Structural work for flood control, such
as dams, levees, dikes and floodwalls, shall be allowed only upon issuance of a
conditional use permit. In addition, any proposed work in the beds of public waters which
will change the course, current or cross section of the waters shall be subject to the
provisions of all applicable statutes.
(Code 1984, § 10.55(11))
Sec. 78-1279. Placement of structures on lots.
When more than one setback applies to a site, structures and facilities must be
located to meet all setbacks. Structures shall be located as follows:

* Except for detached garages on lakeshore lots as regulated in section 78-1435 and
except for structures subject to less restrictive side yard adjacent to street setbacks as
regulated in the various zoning districts.
(5) Fences, docks, retaining walls. No fence shall be placed within the shore setback
zone. Portions of dock located landward of the OHWL shall be considered as a landing,
subject to the regulations for landings per section 78-1282. Retaining walls shall not be
placed within the shore setback zone.
Sec. 78-1282. Stairways, lifts and landings.
Stairways and lifts are the preferred alternative to major topographic alterations

Re: 1265 Bracketts Point Road
File No. 139-04-000
Plat No. 04-3012
Dear Melanie:
p. 1
We have reviewed the proposed site p]an for 1265 Bracketts Point Road. The proposed jmprovements include
the construction of a new home including site grading and retaining wall installation. We have the following
comments with regards to engineering matters;
• The proposed site plan includes a storm sewer system that promotes infiltration. The system includes
drain tile and an infiltration area. The project narrative describes the creation of a native floodplain
shrub and grass buffer along the shoreline 7 5-foot setback. These improvements are environmentally
friendly and follow recommendations set forth in the City's Surface Water Management Plan. We
would encourage the city to promote this concept on this site and wherever else possible.
• The plans should include the sanitary sewer stub location to the property:
• Retaining walls that exceed 4-feet in height require a separate engineered design submittal for review
and approval.
• Plans should be submitted to the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District for review and approval.
If you have any questions please call me at (651) 604-4863.
Yours very truly,
BO~ESTROO, ROSENE, ANDERLIK & ASSOCIATES, INC.

Re: 1265 Bracketts Point Road
File No. 139-04-000
Plat No. 04-3012
Dear Melanie:
We have reviewed the proposed site plan for 1265 Bracketts Point Road. The proposed improvements includ e
the construction of a new home including site grading and retaining wall installation . We have the following
comments with regards to engineering matters:
• The proposed site plan includes a storm sewer sys tem that promotes infiltration. The system includes
drain tile and an ·infiltration area. The project narrative de scribes the creation of a native floodplain
shrub and grass buffer along the shoreline 75-foot setback. These improvements are environmentally
friendly and follow recommendations set forth in the City's Surface Water Management Plan. W e
wo uld encourage the city to promote this concept on this site and wh erever else possible.
• The pl an s should include the sanitary sewer stub location to the prope1iy.
• Retaining walls that exceed 4-feet in height require a separate engineered design s ubmittal for review
and approval.
• P lans should be submitted to the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District for review and approval.
If yo u have any questions please call me at (651) 604-4863.
Yours very truly,
BONESTROO, ROSENE, ANDERLIK & ASSOCIATES, INC.

Potential issue/concern with plans for the proposed
improvement of property located at 1265 Bracketts Point Road.
There is NO drainage along the town owned portion of Bracketts Point Road at
the southeast corner of 1265 Bracketts Point (proposed O'Shaugnessy
Residence). During rain storms water accumulates in the prairie restoration area
on the south side of 1280 Bracketts Point (Nyce residence) and floods Bracketts
Point Road.
Concern is that the relocation of the driveway plus locating a significant portion of
the house and patio to the south east corner of 1265 Bracketts Point will
significantly increase water runoff and flooding of Bracketts Point Road and
property at 1280 Bracketts Point.

Ladies and Gentlemen:
Jim and I have been sent the proposed plans for the new residence to be
constructed by the o~shaughnessys at 1265 Bracketts Point Road.
neighbors_
attention:
We welcome them to Bracketts Point and will be glad to have them as
We have two concerns on their proposal which we would like to bring to your
Access to the new house is shown on the southern portion of the property and
has been moved from the current access which is on the eastern side of the
property. We are concerned about the safety aspects of an access on the
comer. While there is not substantial traffic generated by the residents further
down Bracketts Point Road, there is substantial sightseer traffic on Bracketts
Point Road, particularly in the summer. It is not unusual to have 20 to 30 cars
a day driving the ex.tent ofBracketts Point Road and turning around at the end
of Bracketts Point Road where it turns into the Reed driveway.
Will the stone wall landscape feature i\lter existing drainage patterns? We
have substantial plantings in the northern portion of our property which might
be endangered if normal drainage patters are interrupted. The southern portion
of the O 'Shaughnessy property and the northerly portion of our property were
lake and swamp areas which were filled by fonner owners. We have attached
to this letter information from the Hennepin County website which shows the
approximate location of the fill areas. We have no objection to the stone

this evening. Please contact me if you would like additional information on our concerns.

The Applicant seeks a variance from the City of Orono's Lakeshore Hard Cover and Land Alteration
Regulations (Orono City Code at Section 78-282). That Ordinance prohibits excavating, filling, hard cover,
temporary or permanent structures within 7 5 feet of the shoreline. The Applicant requests a variance from this
requirement to permit construction of 1) slatted boardwalk to permit access from the house to the lake without
disturbing an area to be replanted in native marsh and shore land vegetation thus eliminating the sod; and 2) a
fence paralleling Bracketts Point Road at the south end of the site. In addition, the Applicant seeks a variance to
allow grading and construction of retaining walls in the floodplain to facilitate on-site management of
storm water runoff from Bracketts Point Road and the Applicant's property and to ensure that the Applicant will
have access to his property during wet periods.

HARDSHIP DOCUMENTATION FORM
This form is a required submittal for ALL variance applications. An application
will not be considered complete or placed on any meeting agendas until this form is
complete and submitted to the City.
Minnesota State Statue Section 394.27, Subdivision 7 requires that a hardship be
demonstrated in order for a variance to be granted. The hardship must be unique to the
property as variances run with the land and not the land owner. Personal and economic
situations are not considered valid hardships. In order for an application to be heard by
the Planning Commission and City Council a hardship having merit must be
demonstrated.
HOW DO I PROVE A HARDSHIP?
This form has 12 points outlining the basis City staff uses to determine if a hardship
exists and how the variance will affect the surrounding community. To prove a hardship,
address all the relevant points listed below and answer them as clearly as possible.
Since you are requesting the code exception, you have the burden of proving that the
variance is justified. The information the City receives is what is used in determining a
denial or approval recommendation. If you leave something out it will not be considered.
Please address each of these hardship criteria as they relate to the request (some may
not apply): ·
1.
2.
3.
4.
"The property in question cannot be put to a reasonable use if used under
conditions allowed by the official controls."
See attached.
"The plight of the landowner is due to circumstances unique to his property not
created by the landowner." The variance is made necessary by the unusual
configuration of lot especially at its southern end together with
elevation and route of Bracketts Point Road.
"The variance, if granted, will not.alter the essential character of the locality."
The variance, if granted, will be consistent with the character
of the locality.
"Economic considerations alone shall not constitute an undue hardship if
reasonable use for the property exists under the terms of the Zoning Chapter."
See attached.
Page 2 of 3
5. "Undue hardship also includes, but is not limited to, inadequate access to direct
sunlight for solar energy systems. Variances shall be granted for earth sheltered
construction as defined in Minnesota Statutes, Section 116J.06, Subd. 2, when in
harmony with this Chapter."
Not applicable.
6. "The Board of Appeals and Adjustments or the Council may not permit as a
variance any use that is not permitted under this Chapter for property in the zone
where the affected person's land is located."
7.
8.
Use is appropriate to applicable zoning.
"The Board or Council may permit as a variance the temporary use of a
one-family dwelling as a two-family dwelling."
Not applicable.
"The special conditions applying to the structure or land in question are peculiar
to such property or immediately adjoining property."
See attached.
9. "The conditions do not apply generally to other land or structures in the district in
which said land is located."
See attached.
10. "The granting of the application is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment
of a substantial property right of the applicant."
The variance, if granted, will provide access to the lake, ensure

HARDSHIP STATEMENT
1265 Bracketts Point Road
Boardwalk:
The Applicant intends to replace the sodded lawn currently lying within the 75 foot shoreline set
back area with a meadow consisting of native floodplain shrubs and grasses. The restoration of
the shoreland setback area from sod to native floodplain shrubs and grasses will provide a buffer
bordering Lake Minnetonka that will help protect water quality, stabilize the lakeshore bank,
prevent erosion, and also assist in filtering out nutrients, sediments and other pollutants from
entering the lake.
The Applicant also seeks to maintain access to the lakeshore from his home. For that purpose,
the Applicant proposes to construct a slatted wood boardwalk. The boardwalk will be suspended
above the ground surface. The ground surface beneath the boardwalk will be stabilized with
erosion control fabric to prevent erosion in those areas where vegetation is not expected to
survive. For most of its extent, the boardwalk will be no greater than six feet in width. Near the
lake, the width of the boardwalk will be increased up to 15 feet, to help facilitate transition to a
dock, which is to be constructed in the future, and further protect the restored natural vegetation
from "staging" activities near the lakeshore.
If the variance were not granted, the Applicant would be unable to access the lakeshore without
damaging the native floodplain grasses to be planted in the shoreline set back area. The variance
is necessary to preserve the enjoyment of a substantial property right of the Applicant, i.e.,
access to and enjoyment of Lake Minnetonka, while encouraging the voluntary restoration of the
lakeshore area to native floodplain grasses and shrubs. Given the substantial benefit that Lake
Minnetonka will enjoy by this voluntary restoration, granting the proposed variance will not
impair the public health and safety, but rather will serve to encourage such values.
Fencing
The Applicant proposes to construct a wire mesh fence along the portions of the property that
fronts Bracketts Point Road and County Road 15. The purpose of the fence is to provide the
Applicant with security for his property, privacy and safety for Applicant's grandchildren who
will play on the property.
Only that portion of the fence that parallels Bracketts Point Road will encroach into the shoreline
set back area. This area is at the southerly end of the property and runs for a distance of
approximately 56 feet. At the property lines that are "perpendicular" to the lakeshore at both the
north and the south ends of the property, any necessary screening from adjacent roads and
properties would be achieved through relatively dense plantings of native shrubs and trees, rather
than with a fence.
The requested variance is made necessary only as a result of the unusual configuration of
Bracketts Point Road. To the south of the Applicant's property, Bracketts Point Road
encroaches into the shoreline setback area and closely follows the lake shore. To be effective,
the fence should not stop arbitrarily, but rather should be allowed to follow the entire length of
the property as it follows Bracketts Point Road. Granting of the variance application is necessary
to provide the Applicant with substantial enjoyment of his property by providing privacy,
security and child safety.
Retaining Wall and Grading.
As shown in the topographical survey, the elevation of the southern half of the Applicant's
property is below the surface elevation of Bracketts Point Road. As a consequence, street
stormwater has traditionally drained onto the site. To provide stormwater rate control and water
quality control, the Applicant proposes to construct a retention area (i.e., an infiltration area) in
the southerly portion of .the property. On the easterly portion of the infiltration area (i.e.,
"upland" or towards Bracketts Point Road) a stone retaining wall will be constructed to enhance
the capacity of the infiltration area in a relatively flat portion of the site. A swale will be
constructed to direct stormwater runoff from Bracketts Point Road and the property to the
infiltration area. Because the topography in this area is extremely flat and only slightly above
the Ordinary High Water Elevation of Lake Minnetonka, drain tile will be placed under the swale
and retaining wall to provide minimal gravity flow (at 0.4% slope) into the infiltration area. No
outlet directly into the lake is being proposed. The retaining wall will not encroach into the
lakeshore setback area, although the grading to create the infiltration area will encroach. The
infiltration area and swale will be planted with native floodplain species and it is expected that
the vegetation will provide some degree of water quality treatment.
In addition, it is necessary to elevate the area of the driveway in the floodplain so that the
Applicant may access his property during wet periods or when the elevation of Lake Minnetonka
is higher than normal. The mean high water level of Lake Minnetonka typically rises by at least
7 inches during the spring and summer. The elevated area of the driveway will be held by two
retaining walls on either side of the driveway entrance from Bracketts Point Road. A culvert will
pass beneath the driveway entrance and through the retaining walls to allow stormwater to
continue to flow through the swale into the infiltration area.
As shown by the attached Site Grading and Drainage Plan, the volume of fill in the floodplain
will be compensated by the volume of the cut into the floodplain. The holding capacity of the
floodplain, thus, should not be diminished, as demonstrated in the enclosed floodplain volume
calculations.
The topography at the southerly end of the site together with the configuration of Bracketts Point
Road as it travels south necessitates that stormwater handling be addressed in this single family
residential development. The proposed variance will not impair public health or safety; but
rather is expected to advance environmental concerns by handling stormwater runoff from
Bracketts Point Road in an environmentally responsible manner. Finally, by constructing the
infiltration area together with the retaining walls and elevation of the driveway entrance, the
Applicant's access to and enjoyment of his property will be enabled by treating and handling
stormwater from the adjacent street in a controlled and environmentally responsible way.
