WHEREAS, the Suburban Hennepin Rogional Park District
(hereinafter "the applicant.") is owner c..f the property located at 2. 65
North Shore Drive within the City of Orono (hereinafter "the City") and
legally dfiscribed as fo'_ lows:
Exhibit "A" attached; (hereinafter "the property); and
WHEREAS, the applicant has appl ie:3 to the City for variances to
Municipal Zoninq Coda Section 10.: 2, Subdivision 2 to permit the
installation of trail improvements that will increase the hardcover in the
0-75' lakeshore setba,".k zone to 3.8% where no tardcover is normally
allowed; and has applied for City Council review of the Noerenberg Park
Master Plan pursuant to conditions of Ci ; y Council Resolution No. 1652
adopted July 9, 1984; and
WHEREAS, the use of a public -owned park is a permitted use in the
LR-lA Single Fami I y Lakeshore Resident i a 1 'Zoning District in which the
property is located; and
WHEREAS, because the intensity and type of usage of Neerenberg
Park i s a concern of t,ie residents of the City of Orono, and because the
property is an environmentally significant wildlife and ritural area cn the
shore cf Lake Minnetonka, and because the use of the property as a regional
park has a potentially greater impact on traffic through the surrounding
neighborhood than would a purely local public park or pla•ground, the City
has requested that the applicant allow the City to review end conditionally
approve development of the property as a regional park, and the applicant
has agreed to such a review process.

RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL
3. The Council finds that the increase in hardcover to 3.8% in the 0-
75' setback zone to provide for nature trails as well as to provide
for the hardcover contained within the existing well house and gazebo
near the lakeshore is not inconsistent with the intent of the
Municipal Code and Community Management Plan. The hardship in this
instance is that without such a trail system, the natural aspects of
the property cannot be enjoyed to the fullest advantage by the members
of the puLlic using the park.
4. The Noerenberg Perk Master Plan has been submitted to the City
Council for review. Major points in that plan include:
a) Relocation of driveway on the north side of County Rl-�3d 51.

County Road 51.
c) Construction of a new parking lot on the south side of County
Road 5i.
d) Removal of the existing garage/storage building.
e) Construction of a new visitor center, includinq:
it Reception area;
ii) Park office;
iii) "Classroom" or small group discussion area;
iv) Park plantings rr_:ntenance area/lath house;
v) Rest rooms;
f) Construction of a Memorial Arbor.
g) construction of approximately 4 mile of pathways through the
grounds.
5. The proposed access locations have been reviewed and approved by
the Hennepin Coun+-y Department of Transportation.
6. The City Council has reviewed and approved the Alternative 2
Parking Plan on August 25, 1986 with a vote of 4 ayes and 0 nays.
That Parking Plan provides for an initial paved parking area for 24
cars, with potential overf low/expansion for an additional 26 cars.
The Council suggested that the future expansion area would be an
app-opriate test location for the use of "grass pavers

Regarding the building permit fees: Counci.lmember Grabek
in favor of waiving fees, Acting Mayor Adams would like
more information of fees involved but would be in favor
of waiving excess or unusual fees, Councilmember
Callahan would like to review the master plan before
waiving fees. City Administrator Bernhardson stated
that staff would review the fees involved and bring back
a report to Council at their September 22nd meeting.
WESTONKA SENIOR CENTER - REPRESENTATIVE
Bernice Putt., 2resi0ent of the Westonka Senior Center,
introduced their Coordinator, Cathy Bailey, and the
seniors present for this matter.
Ms. Putt. stated that the Westonka Seniors would like to
exprE•ss their thanks and appreciation to the City of
Orono for their assistance and cooperation, noting the
the seniors are very proud cf the center's success and
without the City's backing would not be possible.
Ms. Putt summarized the nur,.erous activities and
accomplishments by the center in the past year.

meeting and sharing this information with them.
NOERENBERG PARKING PLAN
Present for this matter from the Hennepin. Perk District
were: Deborah Bartels, Marty Jessen, and Don King.
City Administrator Bernhardson reviewed with the Council
the t:,ree alternative re -designed parking lot plans.
Staff recommzn.ds Alternative 2 because it would minimize
the amount cf narking lot tear -up and may rake possible
any expansion amenable to uce of grass pavers.
�ernative 2 - Alternative 2 is a reduction from the
ginal plan eliminating the bus turn -around and
shrinking the size of the parking lot. For overflow
parking, there would be mountable curbs for people just
driving up on grass in the proposed expansion area.
Future expansion would provide minimum disruption of
growing plants if it is ever needed and authorised.
Deb Bartels stated that they also prefer Alternative 2
because of easier circulation of cars and overflow
park.nq access. She stated that Alternatives 1 and 2
meet the fire code lare requirements whereas Alternative
3 does not. She noted that they would like to install
two parking stall test areas of qrass pavers in the
overt low parking area for future expansion area use.

Alternative 3 because it was too close to the lot line.

thank and recognize the four Orono residents who served
on the Noe.renberg Park Advisory Committee fcr their
efforts and time put into this plan. They are: J. Diann
Goetten, Barb Peterson, JoEllen Hurr, and George Rector.
Marty Jessen and Deb Bartels made their presentation of
the proposed plan. Mr. Jessen noted that the only area
in which there is a discrepancy from the criteria set
forth in the Orono City code is related to the hardcover
within the 0-75' area. They are proposing an additional
slight increase of 0.3% of hardcover which would be for
widening the existing brick path. He stated that
according to the current attendance figures (which they
consider t`e park is very under utilized at this time),
they predict the annual attendance in 1990 would be
approximately 19,000, this increase is partially based
on the proposed extended season. He noted that it was
not their intent to attract large crowds but they would
like to provide high quality services and facilities.
Mr. Jessen stated that the plan consists of three
phases of development:
1) Memorial arbor, landscape plantings, site
utilities, water distribution, and parking lot.
2) Visitor center, pathways, garden trellis and
plantings.

contributions etc. They would like approval on the
entire plan at this time.
Public Comments
Mr. i Mrs. George Grooms, 3065 North Shore Drive - They
understood that this plan was turned down by the
Plannirg Commission and wondered why it was still under
consideration. Mr. Grooms stated that he believed Lora
Hoppe would not have approved of the plan and it was not
her intent, her intent was to have a few ladies visiting
on occasion and a plan of this size is not necessary for
that intent.
Pat i Jim Mitchell, 2685 North Shore Drive - Shp stated
that there was no need for a building when the park is
used only 3 months of the year, and no need for the
blacktop parking lot. Jim Mitchell noted that the will
states that the park "not present problems for
neighbor% In addition, he noted that the Planninq
emission denied the plan due to the proposed
nLification of use.

Diann Goetten - She stated that the building is mainly
for the maintenance personnel and storage of smaller
equipment and also for restroom facilities. She also
noted that Ray Forde, who has a lifetime estate, is in
total support of the plan. She noted that the paved
parking lot is necessary due to the maintenance involved
in repairing the ruts created during rainy weather.
Mary Ann Kienzler, 1200 Old Crystal Bay Rd. - She stated
that she was in support of the plan and thought that it
was a wonderful. place for children to learn.
Jack & Kathy Swenson, 3020 North Shore Drive - Jack
Swenson stated that he agreed with the Planning
Commission's findings regarding the intensification of
use and that the park is bezutiful as is and saw no need
to spend 1.2 million to change. Kathy Swenson stated
that currently there is a big problem with boats docking
and there is no attempt to control.
Marty jessen agreed that there was a problem with boats
an(? that they intend to utilize the park rangers more to
control.
JoEllen HUrr, LMCD representative on the Noerenberg Park
Committee - She stated that she Felt the plan presented
was a goad one and is within the intent of the Hoppe
will. She stated that the Hennepin Park District is a
good n(!ighbor and that this is not a zoning issue except
for the 0.3% hardcover issue.
Tim Traff, 2683 North Shore Drive - fie stated that he
icsented the prr,sentation (iven, is opposed to the plan
nI it sh-)uld be left as
The question was brought up regara g use of tax money
for the park. Bob Wicklund stated that tax money has
not officially been eliminated, but based on the Hoppe
endowment for the park, there is no need or intent to
use tax money for this project.
Patricia Roberts, 2683 North Shore Drive - She stated
that she objected to the proposed usage and the 25,000
annual visitor (mid 1990's) prediction.
A resident questioned why the Park District was
advertising a garden party in which music and
refreshments would be provided wren the plan has not
been given approval yet and when they are not allowed to
serve food at the park.

Mr. Jessen stated that it was merely the annual garden
party, the food consisted of tea and cookies, the music
is usuallyy-a harpist etc. The purpose of the garden
party was to basically recreate the atmosphere of a tea
party that was held when the Noerenbergs lived there.
Public comments closed.
Councilmember Hammerel stated that he has lived in this
area for 34 years and felt that the park was underused
and that the residents just do not want a park for the
publics' use. He noted that the current attendance is
9,000 visitors annually and nobody even notices them.
Ile agreed that there was a problem with boaters but does
not know what they can do about it other than having a
full time officer standing guard.
Councilmember Grabek states that he objected to the
additional parking on north side which could potentially
lead to future expansi. of the north side. He stated
that he felt the park currently underused however,
there should be limit,,ti.ons on the use such as no
overflow parking. Ve noted that the park district does
a good job ..)f maintaining their parks.
Acting Mayor Adams stated that he was opposed to the 50
blacktop parking spaces and felt they should start with
hall that amount of spaces and review the need at a
later date, such as when the visitor center i.: built.
Ptr. Jessen stated that they felt the need for 50 spaces
was a 1 r c•ady there but they could consider other
,Aternativc.s tcl tho blacktcp s,lch as grass Crete etc.
Councilmember Frahm stated that the proposed overflow
parking on the north side would require grading and is
not needed. He also noted that there was an obvious
need for equipment storage. In addition, he does not

Drainage
Assistant Zoning Administrator Gaffron reviewed the
proposed grading and stated that the City Engineer finds
no major problems. It was noted that all drainage will
go into the wetland and that no fill will be removed or
brought in to site.
Planning Commission found no problems with drainage.
Parking
Parking on south side of Cty. Rd. 51 - proposed blacktop
parking lot for 50 cars.
Taylor stated that he felt that the suggested need to j
increase the size of the lot. was a byproduct of
intensification of use.
Goetten stated that the existing parking area is not
adequate and intensif ication. was not an issue when
planning,.
Mr. wicklund Mated that the plan was just to improve
the existing lot.
George Grooms, 3065 North Shore Drive, stated that he
has never seen more than 30 cars, mostly during weddings
at the park.
Jim Mitchell, 2865 North Shore Drive, concurred with Mr.
Grooms' statement.

Taylor stated t the wedding use should be addressed
as opposed to . ,•e• general public's appreciation and
enjoyment of the park. He felt the increased size of
parking lot -was to accomodate the weddings.
Goetten stated that the committee did address weddings
as a use, but the proposed improved parking area was
because of the general daily use.
Chairman Kelley questioned whether the wedding use,
which seems to be rising, would interfere with the
general use of the public.
Mr. Wicklund stated that the park is not exclusively
reserved for a wedding, the public is still able to
enjoy the park.
Deborah Bartels stated that they project 25,000 visitors
per year in 2-3 years in comparison to the present 8,400
annual visitors.
Goetten stated that the committee felt that the 25,00.0
visitor estimate was high and would be more in line with
12,000 visitors per ;ear.
Plznning Commission r',ajority agreed that the intent of
the proposal was a significant intensification and again
questioned the intent of the will.
Mr. Jensen stated that. the extent of development of
gardens is up to the discretion of the Park District
ezcep*. for the things specifically prohibited in the
W.111. In reference to the north side, he stated that
there will be no changes other than a trail and a small
• `. gravel parking lot.
Jack Swenson, 3020 North �*'hore Drive, stated that he is
concerned about opening an access on the north side.
Goetten addressed the intent and need for a visitor
center being a place for workers and a central location
fcr educating the visitors. She noted that they hoped
the building would be used during the. winter months
also.
Duane Brodersen, 3625 North Shore Drive, stated that he
felt the wedd'ngs during prime -time would discourage
people from the intended use and creates a negative

REVIEW
Charles and Marilyn Schall were present for this matter
alone with their contractor, Marty Bethke.
Assistant Zoning F,drr,i nistrator Gaf f ron noted that the
applicant and neighbor were not able to reach a
compromising solution. He explained the proposed plan
which consisted of an entry addition and a garage with a
second story storage room area. The garage addition is
proposed at 7.7' f rum side setback, 3.5' from street
setback, and proposed at 20' in I-teight (30' allowed).
fie rioted that hardcover trade-offs would create s small
decrease in existing hardcover
Stan & Petty Rudd, 601 Park Lane, were present for this
matter. Mr. Rudd stated that they were agreeable to a
garage addition 15' in height. He submitted photos.
Mr. Bethke stated that an addition at 15' height would
create an unusable space above garage.
It was voted in Assistant Zoning Administrator Gaffron's
memo that ChiL-f Kilbo felt that the proposed access to
garage is no more unsafe than the existing situation.
Bellows stated that she felt some of the hardcover
proposed to be removed for trade-off should be kept for
back-up apron to provide safety.
Mr. Scha 1 1 stated that the proposed room above garage
addition will be used as a second bedroo:r because the
existing house is only 1-1,'2 bedrooms.

Chairman Kelley stated he agreed with Bellows and
Rovegno, that this property is uniquely situated so that
it is screened from the residential area, and should
proceed on the assumption that this use is appropriate.
Zoning Administrator Mabusth stated that an amendment to
the zoning code must be done setting performance
standards. She submitted an example of an amendment
from the City of Hastings.
Chairman Kelley stated that standards should be
developed before acting on this application.
Staff was given conceptual approval based on the Council
minstes from 1/14/85. Planning Commission will submit
their written comments to staff before the May Planning

was noted.
Representing the Suburban Hennepin Regional Park
District were Marty Jesse , Bob wicklund, and Deborah
BartCls.
Mr. Jessen explained the request for a conditional use
permit approval to improve and enhance the Noei enberg
Memorial County Park. He explained that in 1972 the
district acquired the property by gift from Laura fio;pe
in her wi l 1 . The will contained several conditions,
some of which were a specified name of the park,
required removal of house and erect in its p lice a
memorial arbor with a plaque dedicated to her parents,
the use of the park (south - a floral display
garden/north - maintained in its naturel state called
the Noerenberg Nature Area), specific in limiting use
i.e. no picnicing, no camping, and no boat access. He
noted that the will was completely silent in addressing
structures or improvements unless they are incompatible
with the general floral display.

Deborah Bartels made a presentaticn of the proposed
master plan which included a 26JO s.f. "visitor center"
to be used for restrooms, classroom to accomodate school
groups and weddings, and information center. She noted
a few of the changes being the relocation of the
entrance driveway, construction of a new Memorial Arbor,
construction of pathways through grounds, and a
bituminuous parking lot (with proper plantings for
screening per will). She noted that some grading will
be necessary and they will acquire the proper permits.
McDonald voiced some disagreement with the intent of the
will as it relates to the proposed plans.
The Planning Commission questioned the need for a
bituminous parking lot as opposed to the grass area.
Mr. Jessen stated that it is needed for maintenance
reasons and to accommodate the handicapped. He noted
that the overflow parking across the street will remain
grass. He also noted that, per the will, there is no
fee for parking or admittance to park.
In response to questions from the Commission, Mr. Jessen
stated that they are currently booked throughout the
summer for weddings and that the monies received from
this function is kept in a separate fund to be used to
maintain Noerenberg Park only.
Mr. & Mrs. Jack Swenson, stated they had some concerns
with the plans for the northern nature area which they
feel would result ir: more activity and also boats
anchoring and coming ashore which is clearly against the
wills' intent.
Mr. Jessen stated that they irtend to try and control
that problem, which also currently exists, by using the
service3 of the Park Rangers.
McDonald questioned why they should develop the area
that is goina to create problems and require policing,
again stating her fee`.ing that this is not the wills'
intent.
David Fox, 1645 Bohn's Point Rd., stated that he felt
improving the parking area served no practical purpose
and would simply invite more people to Orono.
Chairman Kelley read into the record a letter from James
A. Mitchell, 2865 North Shore Drive stating their
concerns and recommendations to maintain the "pastoral
setting".

Kathy Swenson, 3020 North Shore Drive, stater; that she
felt the plan (lid not: maintain the intent of Orono's
natural setting by commercializing thr: rural area.
Stan Rudd, 601 Perk Lane, noted an interest in the park
by Ray Forde.
Mr. Jessen stated they are aware of 1.1r. Forde's life
estate on two acres within the northern area and intend
to honor as such.
There were ,-) more comments from the public and the
public hear_ l was closed.
Bellows stated she felt it was a very amoitious
landscape plan and finds little support in `aver. Sne
suggested a greenhouse type of plan and that the
struct,ire should be more of an open pavillion.
McDonald stated she was against having a "brick"
building in a rural park.
Rovegno stated that the land use issue should be
addressed and suggested the entire plan be sent to the
Park Commission and Poloce Dept. for review. He also
stated that he felt tre wedding aspect created the need
for the hardcover parking lot.
Chairman Ke_..ey stated that he felt the plans were
ambitious concerning the hardcover lot to the south and
felt that it should be limited to 25 parking spots. He
does nct feel a building should bf addressed for
classroom needs of sales and should be an oEen shelter.
iie also stated he was not disagrceab _e to the general
upgrading but had concerns about the increased use.
Zoning Administrator Mabuath suggested cabling this
matter in order to provide the Planning CoR-.fission with
more background (i.e. comments from the Park Commission
and Planning Commission member Goetten who served on
this specific park committee) an.. clarification of the
will.
It waf moved by Chairman Kelley, seconded by McDonald,
to teole this matter pending clarification of the will
and the district court interpretation of the will, Chief
Kilto to review, and notification of this proposal to

==a.t Dear Jeanne:
Nicholas Fololl
Goatees ",they I'd like to bring you up to date with our progress on the
" .. Noerenberg Master Plan which you helped prepare for the Park
"e'""bM. , District.
Me:nll/ottenburq The Orono City Council has given final approval to the plan
:•- after a series of meetings before the Planning Commission an
& the City Council. The City Council asked that we reduce the
size of the hard -surface parking lot in the first phase of
plan implementation. As a result, r6ther than 50 paved
parking spaces, there will be 24, with the remainder to be
parked on grass on the outside of the traffic circle. (See
enclosed plan.) These can be hard -surfaced at a later date Of
use increases and need dictates. With that exception, the
plan was approved by the City as prepared by the Committee --
and approved by the Park District Board.
We have developed architectural concepts for the buildings
included in the garden development. The concep-L for the
visitors' center is an open airy building with a large terrace
and walled garden adjoining it. The concept for the memorial
arbor tails for a semi -circular structure oriented toward the
gardeli with a center area consisting of the columns that were
salvaged from the porch of the house. (Enclosed is a copy of
the concept for each of the two structures.)
Use at Noerenberg has been brisk this summer. Total estimated
use is 10,300. A total of 36 weddings were held at Noerenberg
this year. For the first time, Hennepin Parks made available
foldirg chairs and a canopy to make wedding arrangements mere
convenient. These =-e available at a premium charge, but the
wedding parties seelr,-,1 very eager to use the services.
- 2 -
The newly established Hennepin Parks Foundation Board of
Directors has been reviewing potential projects for fund
raising activity. One which they are considering is the
development of the Noerenberg Park. There seems to be a high
level of interest on behalf of the Board of Directors.
Hennepin Parks is excited about the potential improvements at
the garden. He think that they will contribute to the
public's enjoyment of the area and still maintain the quiet
beauty that exists there. Again, our thanks to you for having
assisted in the development of this plan.

SUBJECT: Noerenberg Park Parking Plan
At the July 28, 1986 meeting, the parking plan proposed by the
Park Reserve District was presented. At that meeting, the
Council felt that the plan revised from the original. to reduce
parking from 50 to 26 spaces did not meet the Council's
objectives. Subsequent to that, the Park Reserve District has
submitted two other alternatives. These are noted in the
attached diagrams. The hardcover of the original play. was 30,CG0
s.f. These alternatives reduce it to under 25,000 s.f.
Alternative 1 - This alternative is taking the minimum parking
plan w.4_th no turn-arounds indicating the area for a proposed
expansion from 25 to 50 cars in the future. The area proposed
for expansion would now be used as the grass covered area for
overflow parkin;.
Alternative 2 - Alternative 2 is a re0uction from the original
plan by eliminating the bus turn -around and shrinking the sizs of
the parking Lot. For over -flow parking io this plan, therc would
be mountable: curbs for people just driving up on the grass in the
proposed expar,sion area. Futare expansion would provide for
minimum disruption o. growing plants if it is ever needed and
authorized.
hardcover - Based on the size of thQ arcs, the total amount of
al lcwed^hardcover in the 2`:0-500' zone would be about 105,000
square feet. Either of the two alternatives plus 16,500 feet in
other hardcover in that zone would total about 42,000 square feet
in total. This would represent shout 401 of their allowed
harcover. The ieason for the design width is to allow for the
required fire truck turn -around for this facility.
Parking Lot Surface - The Fark PeFerve District has explrred the
issue of alternative paving means to asphalt. Based on the
potential year around use of the F.arking lot, ever �)uqh minimal
in the wirter time, would not all w grass lave, for the main
part of the park inq lot. As fo- "porous pavement", the
dibc�,rsions have be,�n held with t' Ftrnnepir Soi Is District
regarding the expo-r.se cf the situot is n. : ruff wi 1 I c,,)nt inue to
explore to see if tt.ere if. �.rV m(�r.ey .+vai lahle t(I case this as a

Noerenberg Park Parking Plan
August 21, 1986
Page 2 of 2
Screening - It was the intent of the Park Reserve District to
screen the parking from both the road and the neighbors which was
not shown on the previous parking plans. As noted on
Alternatives 1 and 2 there is significant coniferous screening on
the two sides and these would be of stock that are at least 10'
tall when planted.
RECOMMENDATION - It is staff's recommendation that the Council
concur with Alternative 2 as appropriate installation. While
this results in initially more hardcover, the Park Reserve
District on this site is well within the hardcover limitations
and the ultimate design of the plan results in only 2% over the
minimal design which is Alternative 1. Alternative 1 does have
some draw backs as indicated. The principal draw back is that
the grassed area for overflow parking would be used not only for
parking but also for moving the traffic back and forth across
these parking spots. Alternative 2 should ,ninimize the amount of
parking lot tear -up and may make possible any expansion amenable
to use of grass pavers. Alternative 1 would probably not allow
this. Additionally, this does allow for the bus and required
fire truck turn -around in the .initial stage. It is felt that the
proposed screening should reduce the appearance of the mass of
the structure and the wider plantin-3s in the middle should also
assist in breaking up the design.
PROPC.�ED MOT1ON - Mo, ed _ , seconded , tc accept Alternative
2 as the approtize parking pla:, for the Park Reserve District's
parking lot o:-: Noerenberg Fork. Ayos , N_ays

To Members of the Orono City Council:
Enclosed are two alternatives for the parking lot at
Noerenberg. We believe Alternative #2 is the more attractive
solution both in F�.,se I and in Phase II for the following
reasons:
e Auto circulation in the event of an overflow situation is
a,:sier for the park visito-- to comprehend. A visitor,
perceiving that }he lot i S Tull, has only to turn into a
grassed spa(-,. Aiternative #1 if the lot is full all
._ cars arriving gill have to drive a distance on the g.ass
to park or leave the lot.
e►Tho .mount of haro -urface would appear less in
A, rnative #2, Phase I. because the dense screening
6vt ?eel the two sides of ti-e lot visually divides the
expanse V paving. The for will perceive a driving
lane and 12 parki g spa ether than a driving lane and
V aved spaces (Alternative #l). Ultimately after Phase
nd II construction is completed, Alternative #2 has
J more; squire feet of pavemert than Alternative V.

DATE: July 24, 1986
SUBJECT: Noerenberg Park Development
At your June 9, 1986 Council meeting you considered the
development for Noerenberg Park. At this time staff is not ready
to bring back a resolution, however there are two points that we
would like discussed in advance of adoption of that resolution.
These are as follows:
ParkinLot Desiqn - The parking lot as you will recall,
is to be reduced to half of its orginal capacity. It
was the anticipation of staff that perhaps the design
would shrink it by eliminating the eastern half, however
based on the revision presented subsequently by the Park
Reserve District, they have eliminated the appropriate
,number of parking spots or. the north and south "wings",
v ` as you will note on the attached diagram. It should be
noted the large circular areas in the middle w'l 1 be
areas for vegetation to break up the mass of the
asphalt. Staff feels that this, while not meeting
perhaps the expectations of Council, does comply with
f the Counci11s desires, and staff recommends its
approval.
Vf-
Revised Gradinc�_Pl,ar. - Based on direction given by
Council on June 9th the Park Reserve District did go
back and revise their grading plans which have just been
submitted to the City Engineer. It is anticipated a
report back by Mon -lay and if there is a favorable
recommendation or acc-ptable revision staff would
recommend :oncoptual approval at that time to be
inc•orp-)r.,td in a suhs,e(.Iunt resolution.
�T e Park Reserve District is requesting review of these items at
his time in advance of the resolution in order that they may
rocer"1 to seek out approval:-, f r,)n oths-r bodies such as Minnehaha
re-k Watershe,l District.
J �
PROPO SEE) Mr)TI')N - Mo v i hr , .r-con,i(21 by _ , to approve the

A. City of Orono Approval of Noerenberg Memorial County Park Master Plan
On Monday, June 9, 1986, the Orono City Council voted 4-0 to approve
the District's plan for Noerenberg Park. Specifically requested was
approval of the plan as permitted within this land use zone and a
variance to the C1t,v's Ordinance to allow hard cover within 75' of
the lakeshore.
The Council deliberated for 1 1/2 hours on the issue a.' -anted
approval with the following conditions:
o Initial parking be limited to 26 hard surface spaces.
o The remaining 24 spaces to be surfaced when the building is
built or as need dictates.
o Elimination of the designated IOC --car "overflow" parking area
on the North side of County Road 51.
o That resale not occur on an ongoing basis in the building.
(We Indicated th4t sales would be garden related art, boors,
etc. but not food or beverage. The Council felt that sales
would make the area too commercial and clutter the site.)
o The building size and function was specified. Any changes in
scale or function need to be returned to the Council for
further review.
The grading, access and other engineering/design aspects of the plan
are now going to the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District and Hennepin
County epartment of Transportation. Approval is anticipated.
Pursuant to earlier Board action. we will continue to work with the
Foundation on this project for fund-raising act4vity. Concurrently,
we will be detailing cost estimates including preparation of detailed
plans for 1st phase construction which includes:
o The Memorial Arbor
o Landscape plantings to the East
o Parking and grading
o Site utilities, including modifications to the irrigation
system
We anticipate .that available dollars for capital funding from the
Noerenberg Trust will total $224,0OO as of March 1, 1987. We expect
that mos., of this work can be done within that amount. If the
Foundation pursues fund raising fe• Noerenberg development will
proceed where funding is available. uirst phase construction w+ll
occur during 1987.

To Briefly Recap the Application:
In 1972, Hennepin County Park District acquired the .00erenberg
Park property as a gift and bequest for the late Lora N. Hoppe. Her
will stipulated certain conditions regarding the use of the land and
funds which were part of the bequest. An early development committee
met in 1974 to develop plans for the park property consistent with the
will but these plans were never implemented. A second advisory
committed v-s formed in 1984, at which time the Park Distric* souqht a
court orc to interpret the will. Specific findings were m je by the
Court, and the Advisory Committee proceeded to develop plans for
development of the PArk according to the defined interpretations of
the wi11. t'rcm nruno, the Advisory Committee included J. Diane
Goetten, Barb Peterson, JoEllen Hurr, a,d George Rector.

plan will need to go before the Orono Planning Commission and
S.rx�enrfeni 6
primary to the
perhaps the Park and Recreation Commission for review, before
8"i1
consideration by the City Council. Please advise us as to the
schedule of meetings that you would like us to appear at and
as to any additional information that might be useful to the
City in its review. We have also enclosed a Noerenbera Memorial
County Park Master Plan map.
It is the Park District's desire to receive approval for the
plan in total, although i* will not be developed in one phase.
Once approval has been received, we will develop the necessary
financing and specific site plan to proceed to construction.
We anticipate that the total plan will be developed over a
number of years, however, it is important that the entire
concept be approved now, so that we can prose-d with our
planning in an orderly fashion.
We loop forward to hearing frorl you as to the schedule of
presentations to the City of Orono.

TO: Board of Commissioners
Hennepin County Park Reserve District
FROM: Noerenberg Memorial County Park Citizen's Advisory Committee
DATE: August 5, 1985
SUBJ : Approval of Final Garden Layout
The Advisory Committee met seven times during the past nine months to consider
facts, alternatives, and s,,ljtions to the long-range development of the gardens
and land donated to the Park District in 1972 by Mrs. Lora Hoppe. Our
considerations and conclusions are as follows:
1. The Park District is indeed fortunate to have in its Qossession s•ich a
priceless piece of property on Lake Minnetonka, and every effort
should be made to preserve and enhance the property in accordance
with Mrs. Hoppe's will.
2. A theme of an old-fashioned estate garden modeled after Mr. Edmund
Phelp's many Lake Minnetonka landscaped gardens and grounds was
deemed proper for the further development of the property south of
Highway 51.
3. A strong position was to . by this committee that no picnicking,
launching or landing of boats on the shoreline, or any dockage or
other facilities be constructed on the shoreline.
4.. The committee concurs with and applauds the decision of the Board
of Commissioners that $1, 200, 000 of the sums left under Mrs. Hor- Is
will be kept intact as principal and only income from this base s,
be used for maintenance and improvement:,.
5. The committee concur-:, ..at a good use for monies in excess of
$1, 200, 000 be for improvements to basic support services for the park,
in anticipation of later major redevelopments of the gardens ,and
grounds as monies are available.
f The committee does riot believe the construction of a visitor's center
wa, -ant, top but other items under Phase I of the cost
estimate dated 5 August, 1985 be implemented and completed with the
exception that the water distribution system be implemented only to
the extent monies are available to do so.

7. Phase II of the master plan per the cost estimate of 5 August should
proceed only when earned incon •3-, maintenance costs ar.nualiy.
When an improvement item is, cornr•�nce,', it should also include work
from other items that makes it oossibk? for the item :-) question to
become a completed entity.
8. Phase III is too far in the future for the committee to react at this time.
9. The land north of H; jhwav 51 should be kept undeveloped until a
master plan is devised. Perhaps it is proper to appoint another
citizen's committee to advise on that parcel when timely to do so.
10. The committee commends the Park Reserve staff for its excei;gnt
cooperation, planning, and execution. Marty Jessen has been a
must ;,--frltive staff coordinator.

III. INTRODUCTION
A. The Gift and Will
In 1972 the Hennepi i, County Park Reserve D1 str4r.t. acquired property in
the City of Orono, adjacent to Lake Minnetonka, as a gift and bequest
from the late Lora id. Hoppe. Indicated in her will were several
stipulations regarding the use of the land. Included were the
flowing:
o The area shall be known as Noerenberg Memrial Cou,ity Park,
e: .blishing a memorial park in memory of Frederick and Johanna
Noerenberg, parents of Mrs. Hoppe.
o The land shall be operated and Gevoted to public park purposes
as an arboretum for flowers, shrubs, and t 'ees.
o The land shall not be used for picnic purposes, for camping, for
boat or watercraft launching, or any uses incompatible with that
of a general display garden.
o The house on the property shall be demolished and a memorial
arbor erected with a plaque-ommemorating the Noerenbergs.
o The area north of Cc -y Road 51 should be operated and manac-1
in its approximate natural state as a place wherein wild fowl
and other wild ;ame be allowed to congregate on the land as a
natural area.
Earnings of the funds, also given to the District, should be
used for the purpose of maintenance.
B. Court Order
While the will specifical'i prohibited c^rtain things, and explicitly
f, i
directed othe-s it also left many items to interpretation. In 197C the
District sut'ght a court order interpreting and aefining authorize ;,ses
of the ft,% ; given it by Mrs. Hoppe. The court directed:
o That the Hennepin County Park i.eserve Uistrict is directed, as
ti ustee, to apply the real property devised to it by said
% dent, to the use of that of a general �isF garden as
-p-:;i f i ed in the Will of Lora N. Hoppe
o That the Hennepin County Park Reser•-e District is directe:,, as
trfistee, to maintain the personal property received by it fron
tie estate of L, . Hoppe in a segregated -:count and shall
administer the same in trust upon the following terms and
conJitions:
To apply so ..uch of the trust principal and/)r• net income

and maintain the general disply garden as described in
the Last Will of the (Ijecedent.
In the event that the trust.. finds t reasonable to do
so, to expand the land area devotec to such nerve -A'

administer and apply the trust assets in its possession to the
uses and purposes set forth herein and in the Will if Lora N.
Hoppe, dated March 23, 1970.
With this clarification, the District Board has, as a matter of policy,
determined that $1.2 million of the fund should be retained as principal
The earnings from investment will be used to finance ongoing operation
of the park.
C. Previous Planning
In 1974, an advisory committee was established to develop a plan for
this area that would be consistent with :he will and make available to
the public a beautiful and educ atioral place to visit. The committee
developed a concept plan, but due to various problems the plan was never
implemented.
D. The Current Advisory Committee - 1985
TFe present Committee was established in October of 1984 in order to
complete the task of developing a plan for the park. In regard t.o ;his
task, the Committee was charged with the following responsibilit'v,,.-
o to advise District staff in the review of the original
Plan for the park.
recommend appropriate changes in the plan and e�,., hlish a long
,rri working plan for preservation, improvement and maintenance
of the Park.
o to recommend appropriate funding strategies for the development
of the park accor•;;ing to the plan that the Committee recommends.
The membership of the Committee, irj order to represent the various
interests associated with the nark, included individuals from various
0 j
backgrounds and c-)nmunity interests. Committee members were selected
from the following areas of interest:
o Horticulture o Individuals
o Recreation o Neighbors
o Friends of Mrs. Hoppe
o City of Orono
o !_ake Minnetonka Community
The committee met as a whole on several occasions to carry out their
task. This report is i result of their concentrated effort and
represents general consensus of what the Committee determined best for
the District and for the citizens of the area while consistent with the
interpretations of Mrs. Hoppe's will.
The Committee's deliberations included the following:
o Review of Mrs. Hoppe's will and court order and discussion of
how the Park could be developed and operated within the spirit
of the will.
o Review of the 1978 ?Ian prepared for the Park
'nventory of other gardens in the Metropolitan Area
o Discussion cf potential themes.
o Presentations by Ray Ford, the Noerenberg's Gardener, and Arla
Lindberg, currently the gardener for the Hennepin County Park
Reserve District at the park regarding their perception of
current operations and future development.
Review of the history and 4mportrnce of Pstate gardens in the
Lake Minnetonka area and Eddie Phelps role in the planning and
development of these gardens.
10
o Review of two distinctly different concepts for developing the
area south of County Road 51 utilizing the theme of EE..,tate
Gardens of Lake Minneton'-a.
o Review of a concept for utilizing the area north of County Road
51 as a "Nature Area."
Because of the two distinct areas of the park as specified in the will
this Report is also divided into two distinct section .
IV. THE AREA SOUTH OF COUNTY ROAD 51.
A. THEN°E: "ESTATE GARDENS OF LAKE MINNETONKA"
1. Why Estate Gardens?
In discussing themes for the garden, the Committee was guided by
two objectives. First the Committee felt that it was important to
provide a garden that would not duplicate the efforts of other
gardens in the metropolitan area. In addition, the Committee saw
the park as an area that should prov=de an educational as well as
recreational experience for those who visited. In considering
these goals, the Committee considered a variety of possibile
themes, including the following:
o Victorian
o Old English
o Winter garden
o Minnesota Native Plants
o Estate Garden
Of these themes, the Estate Garden theme generated majority support
from the committee. Advantages of the Estate Garden theme include:
0 It will not duplicate the efforts of other gardens in the
Metropolitan area.
o Estate gardens are a signifcant and historical feature of the
Lake Minnetonka area.
o Eddie J. Phelps, a nationally known landscape architect,
designed many of the estate gardens in the area and lived in
Wayzata. Mr. Phelps was one of the first landscape
architects in the Metropolitan area and had a major impact on
the profession's growth in the area.
2. Background of Estate Gardens
Estate gardens are an interesting part of the history of the Lake
Minnetonka area. Many residents of the area, had elaborate gardens
designed for their estates. The gardens both indicated and graced
the style of those living around Lake Minnetonka.
An important figure in this fascination with elegant and expansive
gardens was Edmund J. Phelps, a local landscape architect known
nationwide for his work. Phelps worked in the area from
approximately 1925-1950. His work can be found in the Twin Cities,
Duluth, Chicago and Washington, Q.C., as well as the states of
Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Tennesee. A list of his clients
indicates that he worked with some of the more prominent citizens
in the Lake Minnetonka area. Phelps playeJ a significant role in
the development of the profession of landscape architecture, and
the Estate Gardens represent a substantial element of his work,.
The Committee feels that this theme establishes a tribute to Phelps
and his work on the "Estate Gardens of Lake Minnetonka."
The University of Minnesota '11ts a scholarship in landscape
architecture (, lled the "Edmviid J. Phelps Memorial Scholarship."
1�
Funding for the scholarship fund came from some of Phelps' clients
in the Lake Minnetonka area.
3. Elements of an Estate Garden
The completed garden of an estate incorporated many elements that
worked together as a whole to bring about a total design. Elements
representative of estate gardens in general included the following
list. Phelps incorporated these elements into the gardens he did
in the area.
o Geometric forms and fanciful garden shapes such as a four
leaf clover
o Borders of the gardens and lawns were often hedges
o Color coordinated gardens
o Architectural structures as focal points of the garden area
such as gates, gazebos, garden houses
o Rose gardens
o Perrenial gardens
o Garden walls or, hedges as enclosures that define "outdoor"
rooms
o Water features such as pools and fountains
o Large canopy trees
o Highly manicured lawns
In developing garders incorporating these elements, Phelps paid
particular attention to proportion, or the relationship of one
element to another. Phelps was concerned with "the scale with
which one thing is related to another, the house with the lawn, the
jazebo with the rose garden, the pool with the terrace or the steps
with the wall." it is the Committee's desire to continue this
iJ
tradition of "proportion" with the Noerenberg site. This concept
of spatial relationships can be seen in the proposed plan for the
garden in the transition from the visitor center to the formal
floral display area, to the manicured estate grounds, to the more
natural edges of the estate. The plan includes several elements of
architecture as fc—:al points on the estate including the visitor
center and memorial arbor, the lakeside gazebo and the grape
arbor. Additional architectural features are anticipated including
a pool, fountains, benches and observation platforms.
B. CONCEPT PLAN FOR NOERE14BERG MEMORIAL COUNTY PARK - "A TRADITIONAL
ESTATE GARDEN"
1. Design Considerations and Site Analysis
In looking at the vegetation and topography of the Noerenberg site
with the intent to develop an estate garden, special consideration
was given to the following features or characteristics of the land:
a. Open, Sunny Areas: Up to five large areas of this type are
evident on the site. Their specific features range from good
to poor soil, flat to sloping terrain, major relationship tc
the lake as opposed to that of the road, existing gardens to
natural area. Suggested uses, depending on partic iar area,
could include gardens, lawns, parking or water features.
b. Low, Wet Areas* The land characterized by this feature is
close to the road and is occasionally flooded. Suggested use
is extensive planting of low maintenance plant materials and
for a possible natural water feature.
p en Understor with Mature Can2w.. While much of the
vegetation of this type is close t, the lake, sc.>me of it does
14
extend north to the road. These areas include mature trees,
steep slopes, and a willow allee. It is recommended that no
major construction occur within the driplines of the trees.
Poss ale uses could include shade plantings and/or manicured
lawns creating the feeling of wide open spaces with paths for
circulation and benches for sitting.
d. Nigh Points: There are four high points in the paiK, each
with unique characteristics. They are potential sites for
areas overlooking the formal garden, the rest of the estate
or the lake.
2. Major Components of the Plan
In looking at the existing features of the Noerenberg site and the
design elements of estate gardens discussed previously, two
distinctly different concept plans were developed. The first of
these, "A Traditional Estate Garden," is recommended. A second
"Modified Estate Garden" concept with a long drive through the park
with parking near the channel was also considered. The
"Traditional" concept is recommended by the Committee. It includes
the following elements and features:
a. End: In a traditional estate garden, the entry was
important as it gave hints of the garden to come. In this
concept, the driveway is short with entrance thru a "grand
gate" indicating the "el ,ince" of what is to follow. The
drive and entry takes the visitor to the visitor center
first, as it would take a guest to the home. Landscape
plantings near the
entrance and along the road to the east will add to the
"grand gate" entrance to the Estate. 1 J
The present entry point would be retained with another pillar
added to the east creating separate entrance and exit gates.
Additional landscape plantings would be added to enhance the
"grOnd gate" feeling. The parking area would be limited to
space for 50 cars. Bike and "walk in" access would also be
available at this point. The drive and parking area are
limited in size to minimize "hard cover" on the site.
b. Visitor Center: A visitor center of approximately 1,800
square feet is proposed. It will be the first thing
experienced by visitors coming into the garden off of County
Road 51. The center should include a lobby and reception
area, and a classroom/lounge capable of accommodating up to
80 people. Restrooms, a small office and area for storage
area provided. An outside patio is also anticipated. The
architectural style should retail that of the former house
that should also be replicated in the memorial arbor.
c. Formal Garden: The formal garden starts from the visitor
center. Several key characteristics anticipated in the
formal garden include:
o A carefully designed sequence of Experiences
o Enclosures and intimate spaces
o Formal beds in geometric designs with color schemes
Views to other architectural features, the manicured
g-ounds, and the Lake
o Use of garden structures: benches, arbors, walls,
terrace, pools and fountains
Special consideration will be given to selecting plant
materials ..id garc'en features that will be of interest on a
year-round basis. Plant materials that hold fruit over
winter or with color or texture of interest in the winter
will be considered in
developing specific plans for projects to occur within the
formal garden area.
d. Manicured Groun.is: The visitor, after speeding time in the
formal garden, would then proceed to the manicured lawn
area. Characteristics of this area include:
o Mowed lawns under large canopy trees
o Shrub massyngs for color and texture
o Blankets of early blooming or shade tolerant flowers
in the lawn
o Crisp edges
o Paths and benches as architectural features
e. Natural Area: The visitor experience `rom the manicured
grounds then proceeds to the natural a -ea at the edge of the
Estate. Characteristics include:
o Recreated forms of natural plant communities requiring
low ma i nteriance
o Paths and observation platforms allowing viewing of the
Estate and Lake
An added benefit of this area of the site would be to provide
a vegetative and visual buffer from the lake channel and road
tnat it borders.
11
f. Evergreen Buffer: Consistent with ttrS. Hoppe's will the area
east of the parking lot to the boundary of the park will be
planted with evergreens to buffer the neighbor to the east.
The mass of plantings will also include other plant materials
to add color and texture of Brest.
g. Me.„,,.rial Arbor: The existing arbor should be removed and
replaced with one replicating the architectural style of the
house. Specifically, the memorial arbor should recall the
feeling of the porch and utilize the pillars salvaged when
the house was razed.
h. Gazebo. The boathouse/gazebo is being restored in 1985. The
top story will be a pleasant pl:;ce to rest with panoramic
v,�--ws of the Lake, formal garden, and the remainder of the
Estate.
i. Maintenance Services: A small work area and storage space is
provided as part of the visitor center building. The storage
of most maintenance equipment and large materials and
supplies will be in the main barn across County Road 51.
j. Irrigat.ion System: The water distribution system will
require some improvement as tht existing system is antiquated
and a maintenance problem..
3. Capital Funding
Capital funding for the development of the Estate Garden will come
from several sources. Earnings from the funds given by Mrs. Hoppe
in excess of annual operating costs as well as principal in excess
of $1.2 M will be used for development projects. In addition, the
District will seek contributions from individuals. organizations,
16
foundations, and cor;-,orations to finance the development of the
park, particularly for sponsorship of specific feature,. (fountains,
pools, plaza, etc.) as called for in the concept plan.
Preliminary Cost cimates for the basic facilities of the plan
(based on 1985 construction) are as follows:
o 50 Car Parking Lot, paved b 43,662
o 1800 Square Feet Visitor Center 180,000
o Water Distribution System. 100,000
o Memorial Arhor 23,870
o Utilities 30,000
o Plantings (east side of property) 25,000
Total $402,532
These estimates are for the item identified only and do not include
extensive site work, landscaping, or related work.
In addition to the items listed above as first priority for
development to provide basic service to park visitors and to comply
with specific provisions of the will, a variety of other
development is also anticipated. Items contemplated include
walkways, fountains, planting beds, walls, benches, and pools. No
specific cost estimates at given as the design, size, and sca'_
are not now determi tied .
Approximately $130.000 of principal in the Noerenburg Fund is
available for-apital improvements. That, plus approximately
$55,000 of excess earnings from 1985, can be immediately available
for construction of the above.

YASTEA PLAN
C. OPERATIONS PLAN
1. Target Audiences
The District has the opportunity to focus the programs and services
it offers at the Estate Gardens at various target groups. Target
groups include garden clubs and other horticultural groups, school
groups, and senior citizen groups. By focusing c,i the specific
interests of these groups a clientele will be developed.
rational and historical displays, rxhinits, tours, and other
programs describing estate gardens, the Noerenberg Estate and the
lifestyle of the Lake Minnetonka Area will be developed.
Public use of the area will include general public strolling
through the Estate with the visitor center as the focal point at
which the visitor will get a general orientation and/or specific
information on the Estate.
2. Programs
There are many programs that could be incorporated intj the Estate
Garden to provide for more pleasurable and educational experiences
for visitors of all types. Possibilities include:
o Slide presentation regarding estate gardens of the past;
highlighting unique features of several gardens
o Displays and classes for floral arranging, drawing, art,
etc.
o History of Eddie Phelps and other formal landscape
,rchitects and their work in the Lake Minnetonka area
o History and pictures of the Noerenberg home and its
original garden aid " festyle in cooperation with existing
historical societie_
o Explanation of the layout and develo')ment of the Estate in
the past and current plan
o Planned guided tours through the Estate with interpretation
directed at the history of the garden and the estate
gardens of the Lake area
o Public events celebrating the gardens of the past
o Selected privdte affairs such as weddings
Program efforts will be adapted to the specific target groups. For
instance, a garden club could incorporate into their visit to the
Estate a presentation by one of the gardeners about the various
types of flowers in the garden and how they were cared for by Ray
Ford. A school group could focus on the history of the garden with
special activities designed especially for that group by a park
programmer.
3, Public Hours of the Estate Garden
Proposed hours for the park:
Peak Season (May through October)
8 a.m. - 9 p.m. - Daily
Off Sea Son (November - April)
9 a.m. - 5 p.m. - Weekends/Holidays
4. Staff
Staff will be needed in the following areas:
At,�ndants. A number of seasonal employees will be necessary to
assure the smooth operation of the park. These positions
include garden attendants, and visitor center �rece�tionists.
22
Fees and Charges: These could include special program fees,
rentals, etc. It is recommended that there be no parking fee
because Mrs. Hoppe gave sufficient funds to finance the public's
general use and enjoyment of the Estate.
Gifts, Contributions and Sale of Materials: Additional gifts
may be possible for specific projects. Examples inay include a
book on the Estate Gardens of Lake Minnetonka for sale in the
visitor center, exhibits or displays, or the sale of art work
related to the Garden.
V. THE AREA NORTH OF COUNTY ROAD 51
A. THEME: "THE NOERENBEIS NATURE VEA"
In her will, Mrs. Hoppe indicated that the land, north of County Road
51, should be "managed in its approximate natural state as a place
wherein wild fowl and other wild game will be allowed to gregate on this
land as a natural area..." Attention must be given to how this area will be
developed and maintained.
B. CONCEPT PLAN FOR THE NC-RENBERG NATURE AREA
1. Major Components
a. Landscape Plantings
Natural plant comnuniti-,s will be enhanced here with
emphasis on color and texture for visual interest as well as
their ability to attract wildlife.
b. Hiking Trail
A hiking trail will be developed out to the point. It's
mphasis will be on Enhancing the natural feeling of the area
without violating the wild charac'er.

Fees and Charges: These could include special program fees,
rentals, etc. It is recommended that there be no parking fee
because Mrs. Hoppe gave sufficient funds to finance the public's
general use and enjoyment of the Estate.
Gifts, Contributions and Sale of Materials: Additional gifts
may be possible for specific projects. Examples may include a
book on the Estate Gardens of Lake Minnetonka for sale in the
v,*sitor center, exhibits or displays, or the sale of art work
related to the Garden.
V. THE AREA NORTH OF COUNTY ROAD 51
A. THEME: "THE NOERENBERG NATURE AREA"
In her will, Mrs. Hoppe indicated that the land, north of County Road
51, should be "managed in its appro,0 mate natural state is a place
wherein wild fowl and other w;ld game will be allowed to.congregate on this
land as a natural area..." Attention must be given to how this area will be
developed and maintained.
B. CONCEPT PLAN FOR THE NOERENBERG NATURE AREA
1. Major Components
a. Landscape Plantings
Natural plait communities will be enhanced '::re with
emphasis on color and texture for visual int._rest as well as
their ability to attract wildlife.
b. Hikinq Trail
A hiking trail will be developed out to the point. 't's
emphasis will be on enhanci,ig the natural Ieeling cf the area
without violating the wild character.
c. Parkii,, nd Access
A 12 car gravel parking lot is planned with additional
overflow parking on a grass sirface.
d. Obervation Fucal Point
The northwest corner of the main barn should be utilized as
an area to observe wildlife and the lake beyond. Special
plantings should be planned near this area so as to attract
wildlife for viewing by Nature Area visitors. Much of the
remainder of the barn will be used as space to store
maintenance equipment and materials to carry out maintenance
functions.
2. Capital Funding for the Nature Area
Capital costs for this portion of the Park will be minimal.
Preliminary cost est hates are as follows:
o 12 car parking lot $ 5,000
o Modifications to the barn 15,000
o Trail development 5,000
o Landscape plantings 25,000
TOTAL $50,000
C. OPERATIONS PLAN
The Nature Area will be open the same hours as the Estate Garden.
Most visitors will use the area "on their own" without staff
assistance. Limited programming could include: guided wildflower
walks and early morning bird -watching. Staffing wil, consist of
maintenance and security personnel. Both will be done by personnel
hired for the Estate Garden pur_ion of the site.

DunccanMacm-han I'm chairman of the Noerenberg Memorial County Park Advisory Committee.
Da .d T Mclaughl-n This committee is newly formed for the express purpose of advising the
eharlesM Mops Hennepin County Park Reserve District regarding the further development
Iarl H O."'inan
nr
Georpe T Pennock of oerener9 property of thNbon Lake Minnetonka under the terms of the
Mrs w.l,,amc 1w:1-vs will of Lora N. Hoppe.
D, Dean K Rile,
Rcsertl Searles Mrs Edr•ard R T.tcomb The committee is determined to Follow the explicit intent of Mrs. Hoppe
Thomasl warner under her will. We therefore would appreciate your legal opinion as
A+n Na,der.Wheaton to the wording of the will, and - even more important - her intent when
making the gift under tale will.
As I see it, the "North" property is dearly for the purpose of a game
refuge and should be 'developed" as such. She foresaw the charging
of admission and using the revenues for "conducting" the game refuge.
Question 1: What constitutes "conducting?"
The "South" property poses lots of questions. It's clear the property
should be a public park for garden purposes, utilit2ing the concept of
an arboretum, which is "a place for scientific and educational growing."
It's not clear- to what extent certain uses can be applied, nor just how
the monies can be used.
Question 2: Can only "earnings" of the funds be used? Does this imply
no principal can be used?
Question 3: Are there any restrictions, implied or otherNise, on how
or where the funds can be invested ?
QLJCStion 4: Can the earnings be used one for "maintenance," or can
some sort of improvements be done, other than maintenance? What are
the limits of "improvements""
Question 5: Can a boat dock be installed on the shoreline to be used
by visitors coming by boat, but not launching boats?
Mr. Russell M. Bennett
November 7, 1984
Page Two
_Question 6: Can the "garden" be a special one, even to the extreme
of having only one species of planting? Can it be only a "winter"
garden, or only +n garden, for instance?"
Question 7: Can funds other than hirs. Hoppe's be used to expand or
improve the property? Could "millions" be publicly raised and spent
on the property? It bothers me that the character of the property could
be circumvented by the use of outside money.
Your written opinions, addressed to the committee, would be appreciated.
It may be I have not listed all pertinent questions that should be raised.
Please feel free to add any other opinio•s that would be helpful to the
committee to clarify any areas of interpretation regarding the language
and/or intent of the will.
Thanks.

10 WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:
Our law office represented Mrs. Hoppe during her life
time and Henry Haverstock of this office had occasion to draw
her Will which eCtablished the Ncerenberg Memorial Park. It is
rn� opinion that the Will speaks fcr itself and that the lanquage
contained therein is very specific as to what Mrs. Hoppe wanted
and what she did not want. On several occasions she and Mr.
Haverstock invited me into their joint presence to understand
the general outline of her estate plan. I recall that she was
very adament that she did not want any overnight campirlg, picnicers,
boat launchings or anything that would cause a large amount of
traffic, either by water or by road. She did not want docks or
bouy anchorage or any kind of activity that would put a strain
on her concept of a quiet, contemplative nature -oriented "quiet
place". She was interested In trees, shrub; and flowers. She
was not interested in loud noises, rock, concerts, picnicers who
left debree and maintenance problems, or people whose primary
interest was using the lake or using boat -type facilities. She
wanted it to be a place for people who appreciated birds and flowers
and quiet areas.
While this idea may seerr unique In this day and age,
nevertheless, that is what she wanted and she was very firm about
It .
Page Two
November 8, 1964
She left the residue of her estate to the Hennepin County
Park Reserve District as an endowment to fi.nance the maintenance
of her grounds and to remove the existing structure. When she
said "earnings", she meant exactly that, i.e., that the earnings,
meaning the interest and income off of the endowment, could be
used to maintain the area. This would include, in my view, main-
tenance of existing structures other than the ho,�se such as the
gazebo. But it would not include invading principal for permanent
improvements. If there is excess income, it could certainly ►,e
used for creating paths, quiet areas, new planting, etc., and
preventive -type maintenance on existing shrubbery, flowers and
trees.
From what little I know of it, it sounds like your Advisory
Committee Task Force is a well -diversified community group of
good citizens. Its input should be very helpful to the Park Reserve
District in fulfilling Mrs. Hoppe's ,,i.shes.
Very truly yours,
Russell M. Bennett

I wanted to write an additional letter to my last letter
of November 8 to try to answer the questions you rave raised in
your letter of November 7.
First of all, now that I see your stationery, I would
feel even more strongly that you have an excellent committee.
I had that feeling before, but I didn't realize there were so
many outstanding people on it.
Secondly, you are correct that the North property is
clearly for the purpose of a game refuge and should be developed
as such. Mrs. Hoppe had no objection to using revenues for "conduc-
ting a game refuge", but I am not exactly sure what is included
in conducting r game refuge area. I would think it would be reason-
able to provide feeding stations for wild fowl and other wild
game. I would think that if it is indicated by conservationist s,
it. would be appropriate to fence the area to protect the wild
game nests from certain kind of predators. I would think that
it would n•,t include extensive construction of buildings for artifi-
cial breeding of game or wild fowl. While this is done in certain
Mr.. Richard G. Gray, Sr.

parts of the country, I have the impression that this portion
of her Will referred to "approximate natural state". To me an
approximate natural state does not mean that you turn it into
a high -producing game farm.
Question 2 - You are correct that only earnings of the
funds can be used. In my mind, this means that no principal can
be used.
Cuestion 3 - No, there are no restrictions on where
the funds can be invested. That is in the discretion of the Hennepin
County Park Reserve District. Therefore, they could, for example,
invest in high -yield items to make as much income as possible.
They could also invest in low income yield items, although I would
not see much purpose in doing that since you can't spend principal.
In any event, that is a decision that would be up to them. The
instrument intentionally does not put limitations on how that
is accomplished.
Question 4 - Can the earnings be used only for "mainten-
ance", or can some sort of improvements be do..ne other than mainten-
ance? In my mind, the earnings only can be u.ed for maintenance
and no principal may be used for maintenance. However, I think
that if there is what might be termed excess earnings, meaning
more funds availa2le than are currently being used for the project,
there would be nothing wrong under the Will in malting modest improve-
ments that carry out her intent. As I said in illy last letter,
I think the addition of walking paths or modest improvements that
would improve the quiet enjoyment of the place would be in order.
That would include signs, for example, or labeling of different
plants or bushes so the p,'blic could be educated thereby.
Question 5 - Can a boat dock be installed on the c�hnr(-linn
to be used by visitors coming by boat, but not launching boats?
In my mind, the answer to this one is clearly "no". The reason
being this was discussed with Mrs. Hoppe, and she felt, as did
we, that it would be impossible to enforce it in the sense that
you wouldn't know which people were coming to use it for the intended
purposr� and which people were coming )ust to have a place to land
and hc;%,v a picnic, or a beer party, or whatever. Mrs. Hoppe was
very anxious that the general character of the area not be chanced,
and ! hc'' was particularly sensitive to the views of Mr. 6 Mrs.
Leonard Carpenter, her neighbor, who al!o had conservation ideas
similar to Mrs. Hoppe. I remember 1;ointinq out to her specifically
that s.he wanted to have the Far.k Re!aerAwis:trict pay for

I feel the will is quite open
Question 7 - The Will did not contemplate that additional
gifts would be solicited or accepted for the property. While
tuition could be charged on the North part, she did not contemplate
any dollars being publicly raised. The reason being that she
felt that with acceptance of such dollars, would come a change
in the general character of the neighborhood. She did not want
to do anything that would cause undue traffic, either by water
or by land. She didr't even want the parking lot to be a problem
for the neighbors. would be my opinion that the use of outside
money would be a mis• tke. The program would have to comply with
the terms of her Will, but I don't think it would make it a better
place.

I hope the above is helpful to you and your committee.

We have reviewed the site plans for the Noerenberg Gardens development and
would recommend the following alterations.
The ponds adjacent to County Road 51 should be provided with an outlot at ele-
vation 932.5 which is three feet below the elevation of County Road 51. This
could be accomplished by piping or by swale construction. The parking lot
should be constructed to carry the water along the curb line. The parking
area north of County Road 51 should be m)re descriptive as to the surface,
type and number of parking spaces.
If you have any questions please contact this office.

I would make the following preliminary comments:

of the hill in that area to make it suitable for overf low parking. The
driveway will be continue to b- gravel; the overflow parking is intended to

3- Hardcover review - please note the hardcover calculations provided
by the applicant. Because of the relatively large ac,eage within the p?rk,
the hardcover percentages are quite small. No, e the portions of the ..il
system located within 75' of the lakeshore are for the most part located on
relatively flat. areas where they will have an insignificant effect on the
runoff. The gazebo and pumphouse ar ;)re -existing structures. The 0-75'
dcovv- proposed is 5% on the scut side of Co. Rd. 51, which translates
J.I. _--r the ent-A re prnperty. - 250' hardcover i s 6% south of 51 o-
2.5k overall.

center and parking lot will be directed toward a holding pond area next to
Co. Rd. 51 which will provide excellent treatment of runoff waters. The
bulk of the f low is overland with one stretch of storm drain to be created.
Glenn's main concern in the drainage plan was that the pond have an
overflow Swale or culvert perhaps to the southwest, so that under unusual
flood conditions the high water level will stay at least 3' below the
Co>>nty Road elevation.
5- Access - the entrances to the north and south portions of the
property will be moved to the east as previously noted, and will be
opposite each other. I have requested that Hennepin County DOT review this
but no response yet..
6- Utilities - there is no City water in this area, hence a new well
is intended to be installed at the east end of the visitor center.
Building Inspector Tom Jacobs in his prelimir ✓ review of the plans noted
that the visitor center would likely requir(- Sprinkler system and some
type of water storage facility.
Sewer - Public Works Director John Gerhardson informs me that a
sewer stub is available but is located on the north side of Co. Rd. 51
which will require approval of Hennepin DOT for the crc zg of the road.
Also, the sewer line in this areL. is owned by the MWCC, _ the connection
will require biWCC approval, as well. as City cf Orono approval because this
is still considered an "unsewered" zone in Orono's Con.preiiensive Plan. An
additional question yet to be answered is what assessment, if any, should
be paid for the use of this stub
John also suggested that an inventory of existir ,t storm sewe- and
culverts serving the property be provided.
7- Landscape/Screening - please review the landscape plan surmitted.
The planting schedule would appear to provide natural vegetation screening
around the perimeter of both north and south parking areas.
Please be reminded that the park is located in the RR-1B Single Family
Residential. zone. While "parks" are a permitted use is RR-1B, the multi-
use facility to be provided at Noerenberg Park requires additional review,
and the Conditional Use Permit is the appropriate method for review.
In looking at the use aspect of this prc)ect, consider that the visitor
center includes a class:or,m; that there is a "sales" booth planned,
probaLly for books, pamphlets, art prints, etc.; and that the facility has
in the past and will likely continue to bt- used for weddings. The
facilities suggest that larger groups, garden clubs, school field trips,
etc. might be Likely users of the faciilities. The Planninq Commission
might request that. th(, applicants el�)hor:-,tc� en the expected intensity and
types of users r'f the property.

Dear Commissioners:
Subject: #1020 Noerenberg Memorial County Park.
We will be out of town on Monday, April 21, and therefore
are unable to attend the public hearing on Noerenberg Park.
We do however wart to comment on this application.
We live at 2685 North Shore Drive, on the lot immediately
adjacent to the east side of the park. Thus we are very
personally concerned with the development which is being
proposed.
We believe that Mrs. Noerenberg's intent in donating this
park to the county is clear. She wished to make a space
available where residents of the county could go to enjoy
nature. This might take the form of lou.:ing at beautiful
flowers or pastoral woodlands.
We have serious questions about whether the large facilities
which are being proposed are appropriate in a rural residen-
tial aiea. If these buildings are constructed, we believe it
esoential that their exterior be consistent with the: pastoral
SL*ting in which they are located.
Of even greater -,,ignif icance? to us is the proposed parking
lot. We believe that it is appropriate for the park to
include a facility for parki.n�_,, and think that 50 space's is
not excessive. However, we feel vc strongly that this
parking lot should no, imp<.iir OUr er1j(.yLient of our property
nor impose on the ru, al character of our ae,_ghborheod. We

further enhance the rural nature of �he r.:rk. and screen the
development from us ( :,n(J us i rocs the use r-,, t, f the park).
-2-
We very much appreciate your attention to our request. Our
intention is not to interfere with the public's enjoyment of
the park. We do want to preserve the rural character of our
neighborhood and the park, consistent with Mrs. Noerenberg's
desires and those of the residents of this area. Thank you.

NO. 1G52
7. The City Council has considered this application including the
findings and recommendations of the Planning Commission, reports
by City staff, comments by the owner and applicant and the effects
of the non -conforming structure and location of this structure in
relation to the public health, safety and welfare withir► the
community.
8. The City Council finds that the conditions existing on this
property are peculiar to it and do not apply generally to the
property in this zoning district: the granting of the variance
would not adversely effect traffic conditions, light, air nor pose
a fire hazard or other danger to neighboring property; would not
me ely serve as a convenience to the owner, but is necessary to

preserve a substantial property right of the owner; and would be in
keening with the spirit and intent of the Zoning Code and
Comprehensive Plan of the City.
9. The City Council finds that granting a conditional use permit to
thr applicant for the continuation 0t the non -conforming
structure would not be detrimental to the health, safety or
general welfare of the public, nor will it depreciate surrounding
property values and the level of use of the property limited by the
pertinent sections for non-conforminq uses withir. the Zoning Code
will be in keeping with the intent and 9. - t -e" of the Zoning Code
and Comprehensive Plan of the City. obJQe+ijea

VARIANCE
REQUEST FOR RECONSIDERATION OF TABLING
City Administrator Bernhardson explained that on 9/8/86
-ouncil tabled the application for a side setback
variance to construct- a detached double garage until
applicant and neighbor (Mr. & Mrs. Francis Golden) could
resolve a lot line dispute. At this time, applicant's
attorney requests City Council to reconsider tabling
action and give applicant direction whether the variance
would be granted under the most restrictive possible lot
line outcome because if variance would ultimately be
denied regardless, they might not pursue litigation with
neighbor to resolve lot line. City Ad7�nistrator
Bernhardson noted that since the application was tabled,
Mr. Fidncis Golden has passed away and Mrs. Golden is
not in good health but still opposes the variances and
contests the lot line. The neighbor was not able to be
in attendance as she had received notice on Satirday,
June 6, and because of ill health was unable to attend
or o)—ain a representative on short notice.
Applica.its attorney, Debra Page, was Iresent and
reiterated City Administrator's Bernhardson's
stat :nt.
Mayor Grabek stated he had ,:o objection to Plann.,aq
Commission reconsidering the application under these
circumstances. He encouraged resolving this matter
without causing any further hardship to the Hanson &
Golden families, and pledged that staff and Council
would ,io their utmost in helping this matter along.
It was mov,. by Mayor Grabek, se-onded by Councilmember

request to bring in 100,000 cubic yards of fill to be
placed on the old landfill site. Council conceptually
approved the request at their last review pending
confirmation from a soils engineer that it would not
demonstrate any problems. As stated in the memo, Braun
Engineering opined "that t'�e proposed addition of five

Zoning Administrator Mabusth submitted and reviewed an
amended resolution (Conclusion, Order and Conditions

"ity Engineer Cook agreed with Braur. Engineering's
pinion noting that there would be some advantage
because the fill would create a more uniform surface on
the property and possibly reduce the leachate from the
landfill, and therefore, recommended approval per staff
recommendation.

storage, eked Council to proceed with tiie
applicationb before them and review the parking lot
proposal at the next meeting.
George Rovegno, 2010 Shoreline Drive, stated that he
felt the applicant's would do a responsible job on this
project, however he was con,----ned with the commercial
growth in a residential a. He noted that opaque
screening is required by cc.,e at the 1955 Shoreline
Drive site. He felt that the Spates Ave. access shn-ld
be closed because it is a residential street and Cc
Rd. 15 should be utilized for this commercial use.
felt there should be some form of 24 huur security. he
asked where a crosswalk would -)e located. Mr. Rovegno
also contends that the gas -ration becoming 3 sailboat
shop, as wel 1 as the proposed adjacent parking lot, is a
use variance.
Regarding the use variance issue, City Attorney B1atz
stated that if it. ?.s determined that the change in
would be deemed a use variance the code would have to be
amended or sc.me changes made, the City cannot legally
grant use variances.
Regarding the cr-.)�.swaIk location, this must be

Mr. Love stated chat i t is their intention to restrict
the use of the facility. Mr. Toberman noted that they
currently have a watchman check the property 4-5 times
per evening and have had no problems.
Regarding the access from County Road 15, although this
access alternative has not been directly discussed,
staff and City Engineer Cook felt an additional curb cut
on County Road 15 would create a safety issue.
Mr.. Love noted that they would hare better control of
the parking areas if access were off of Spates Ave.
because they could block off the access, which could not
be done if access were on County Rd. 15. In addition,
he felt there wcald not be a high volume of traffic.
Regarding the screening issue, Mr. Love indicated that
they are Agreeable to the required screening.
Mayor Grabek felt that an extra curb cut on County Rd.
15 would be too conjested due to the closeness of Sf�ates
Ave, Sailors World, and County Rd. 51.
George Rovegno voiced his irritation with the City's
lack of enforcement of the conditions within the granted
conditional use permits of the past commercial uses.

City Administrator Bernhardson explained that several
weeks ago, the Big Island Board of Governors renewed
their conditional use permit to allow for work crews to
continue demolition and cleanup work that was started
last summer. At approximately the same ,_ime, a review
process of their master plan was started. During the
month of May, Planning Commission consid-red this plan
and toured the property and recommended approval of a
conditional use permit to permit the continued
demolition of buildings together with commencing rehab
of the property buildings that can be fixed. Planning
Commission directed the Building Official to determine
which buildings must he removed and which buildings
could be fixed. On June 4, Building 6 Fire Inspector
,Jacobs conducted an inspection of the property and
submitted his recommendation. City Administrator
Bernha:dson noted that although some of the buildings
are deemed repairable, it may be more economical to
demolish rather !han repair. He also noted that time

City Administrator Bernhardson explained the request for
a 2-lot subdivision of a 4.28 dry acre parcel just south
and adjacent to the Boyke plat (which is on tonight's
agenda for final plat approval). Variances required
are:
a) Lot width at 50' setback from cul-de-sac (200'
required; Lot 1 has 125', Lot 2 has 75').
b) Lack of frontage on public road.
J. W. Cragg was present and had no comments.
Councilmember Goetten stated she had no problem with the
plat but asked at what point the road would need to be
upgraded.
City Administrator Bernhardson and Assistant Zoning
Administrator Gaffron explained that within the last two
years staff has tried to deal with portions of the road
in different subdivisions to accomodate future upgrading
of the road. Gaffron noted that Planning Commission
strongly recommend to the neighboring property owners

VARIANCE
RESOLUTION #2198
City Administrator Bernhardson explained the request for
a fence height variance to construct a 6' fence (where a
3-1/2' maximum height fen-:e would be allowed) along a
street lot line on Rest Point Road. Generally, any
fence along the street lot line would be problematic in
snow removal/storage. However, a 3-1/2' fence is
allowed by code right up to the lot line, and would be
more of a problem than a 6' fence further back, due to
the narrow right of way and location of traveled portion
of road right at the property line. The purpose of
the fence is to screen their property from the close
proximity of the road.
George & Theresa Bloom were present for this matter and
submitted photos of the situation.
Councilmember Goetten noted, per the memo, that Public
Works Coordinator Gerhardson felt a 6' fence constructed
5' from the property line, would be adequate and not
interfere with snow removal. Upon visiting the site,
she felt that a 6' fence was a legitimate request.

CITY ADMINISTRATOR'S REPORT:
LONG LAKE SEWER I'LANT PROPERTY
A) STORAGE
B) ANNEXATION
City Administrator Bernhardson reviewed the tw_> i.ssues
related to the Long Lake sewer plant property in Orono:
A) Storage - For the past 5 to I years the City of
i..ong Lake has had minor storage cf sand and gravel
on the sewer plant property. Due to wet conditions
this past fall, they stcck piled materials to be
used for sealcoating in the spring at the corner of
Orono Oaks Drive and Orono GrcharA Rd. This
together with stock piling of composting materials
became an issue of concern to the neighb�:rhood.
Because this may be a zoning matter, staff requested
that the neighbors deal with the City of bong Lake
on a City to private property owner basis. Staff is
trying to work with Long Lake on this, who are
exploring their options; and staff is researching
the 1 e(Ia 1 ramif icatior. s.
MINUTES OF THE REGULAR DRONO COUNCIL MEETING HELD JUNE 8, 1987
LONG LAKE SEWER PLANT PROPERTY CONTINUED
B) Annexation _. This issue was brought to the
Council's attent.Len at their April 27, 1987 meeting
by the City of Long Lake indicating their desire to
annex portions of the highway 12 corridor between
Old Crystal. Bay and Brown Road on the north, side of
Highway 12 together with annexation of the old Long
Lake sewer plant property.
The neighbors have submitted a petition expressing their
concerns about the storage of materials and the issue of
annexation.
Rollin Lacy, 1555 Orono Oaks Drive, speaking in behalf
of the surrounding area property owners, stated that the
character of the storage of materials has changed
dramatically in the last year and request_ that the
dumping be done in a less conspicuous manner. He
submitted photos and invited the Council to come out and
view the sewer plant property from their homes.
City Administrator Bernhardson stated *-hat Long Lake has
indicated that one of the most objectionable storage
areas should be removed by July 1, noting that they are
currently undergoing a substantial seal coating program
this summer.
Regarding a proposal fur the property Long Lake wishes
to annex, Mr. Lacy stated, would consist of 42 1/3 acre
lots. He noted that they bought their property and
homes assuming that 2 acre minimums would apply for RR-
1B. In their legal research, he noted that unless Orono
obtains an irrevocable agreement with Long Lake prior to
annexation, Long Lake could change the zoning of that
areri. He voiced their concerns of how this type of
development could effect their property values.
Other comments made were that the Orono Oaks home values
range from $200,000 to $400,000; Long Lake should be
treated in the same manner as a developer.
Dave Struyk asked about the status of discussions with
Long Lake and the Council's fet:lings regarding the
annexation issue.
City Administrator Bernhardson stated staff has asked
Long Lake about the e.itent of development they propose
of which proposal has not been revised. Staff has
separated the development from the annexation issue and
suggested that an increased density on that property
would not necessarily net them a greaser profit if that
was their goal. Staff has aske6 for more information
regarding the neede<' expansion r,f tax base and why

annexation is important. The City has not to date

Mayor Grabek stated that, keeping in mind that Long Lake
and Orono are neighbors, they remain dedicated to
Orono's rural environment and zoning restrictions.
Councilmember Goetten agreed with Mayor Grabek, but also
felt the storage of materials is an eyesore.
City Administrator Bernhardson explained the process
involved in annexation.
Mr. Lacy indicated their hope that they, as adjacent
property owners, will have the opportunity to appear
before the Municipal Board to state their issues and
concerns regarding property owners.
Mayor Grabek stated that as their elected officials,
they will do their best to represent them.

Discussion -
This item was tabled at the June 8th meeting because the meeting was
con,-luded prior to applicant's, arrival.. Applicant did appear after the
meeting had been adjourned, and submitted proposed language to be added to
Paragraph 2 (E) of the Conclusions, order, and Conditions.
Applicant's agent Mr. McNulty has adv:_sed staff that the applicant
will agree to the 13.5 acre area minimum limitation as long as this wording
can be added. Applicant suggests that he does not want future Councils to
feel that they are precluded from approving a future subdivision request if
th(-y find that request reasonable and appropriate.
Also, McNulty advises that due to mechanical design revisions in the
final building plans, and due to structural. material limitations, the
actual. square footage of the sports center will be increased approximately
5C0 s.f. for an increase of about 3% in total floor area. Staff would
recommend that the resolution wording also be revised to reflect this minor
change if Council approves the resolution.

Exhibit B - Council Action Notice of 6/3/87
Exhibit C - Council Minutes of 5/11/87
Exhibit D - Sketch of Rationale for 9.5 Acre Limitation
Discussion -
Attached is the revised resolution per Council's comments and
discussion on May 26. Of the three changes noted (Exhibit B), the
applicants wish you to reconsider the request that the covenant allow no
future subdivision of the 13.5 acre property. The applicants feel that as
of your May 11 approval, such a requirement was not discussed specifically,
and that they wish to be able to split o.L perhaps 1 or at most 2
additional 2-acre building sites for family members at some future time.
In reviewing the tape of the 5/11/87 meeting, staff notes that Mr.
MacMillan stated he generally wishes to keep the property as -is, has no
intent to change anything, and is willing to covenant same; his comments
seemed to relate to the residential, private character and nature of the
property.
Mayor Grabek asked whether the covenant would allow future division of
the property. Gaffron noted that the covenant is proposed only keeps the
tennis court on the same parcel as the main he : e but does not address a
division to create new building sites. Grabek it he same ^ontext later in
the discussion suggested that the potential subdi.idability should be "cut
thin", or as staff interprets this, be minimized. No where in the
discussion was it actually stated that the 13.5 acre parcel "may never be
divided", however, apparently in the minds of more than cne Cuunci1member,
the vote of approval was forthcoming only because of the large acreage of
the property.
Applicant requests that you consider the 9.5 acre limit as recommerd ed
by staff rather than 13.5 acres, which would keep the door open for 1 or 2
additional residences to be built in the northernmost portion of the
property at some future time. As an option, applicant would suggest that
the resolution and covenant be worded so that although the covenant runs in
perpetuity, future Counci is are given clear direction that if they fin,1
that a future proposed subdivision is generally acceptable and meets the
intent of the C'ity's Comprehensive Plan and other Lades, that the -ovenant
can be changed.

4. The Orono Planning Commission reviewed this application at a
public hearing on March 16 and April 10, 1987 at which time comments
were heard from all interested parties.
5. The Orono City Council. reviewed this application cn May 11, 1987
and voted 4-1 to grant approval of the proposed variances and
conditional use permit and directed staff to draft a resolution of
approval.
6. The hardships and areas of practical difficulty for justification
of the requested variances as outlined by the applicant in his mc-mo
submitted to the City on May 5, 1987, are as follows:
A) As evidenced by the soil samples taken on the property the
water table is very high. Several samples indicate that the
water level is only 4 to 5 feet below the land surface. The
overall height of the tennis facility could be reduced by placing
it deeper into the ground but fur the level of the water table.
Additionally, the composition of the soil also dictates the
location of the facility. To move the building from the present
designed location would require extensive soil correction. Both
soil composition and water table level are out of control of the
applicants.
B) The main residential structure is French provincial in
design. To move the tennis facility closer to or attach it to
the main residence would severely affect the aesthetics of the
residence and thus destroy the architectural integrity of the
building. Great care has been taken to design and landscape the
tennis structure in such a way a.; to make it as unobtrusive as
possible. To relocate the structure may cause it to be more
visible from Fox Street then it will be in its proposed location.
C) Under the City Ordinances the construction of a tennis court
is a permitted use within Zone RR-lB and is considered an
"accessory structure". The size of a tennis court is
approximately 60'xl20', for a total of 7,200 square feet. It is
impossible to enclose a tennis court (a permitted L I and have
it less than 10-12,000 square feet after t 7 into
consideration perime'f•r area n-eded around the sour Ingir.g
areas and storage.

U) The Orono ordinance governing set back of accessory
structures from the "front yard" is geared to the normal
positioning of a house to the street, i.e. the house normally
faces the street and is located a very short distance from the
street. The ordinance is intended to help preserve the character
of the neighborhood as to not allow accessory structures such as
garages, sheds, etc. in the "front yard" which can have a
detrimental visual impact to the neighborhood. Here, the
property is approximately 13.5 acres with the residence
overlooking a small pond. The residence has its back to Fox
Street (a full 400 feet from the street), and is barely visible
from Fox Street. Clearly, this situation does not fall within
the original and normal intent of the ordinance and definition Df
"front yard". The caretaker house and the tennis structure would
be set. back 125 and 150 feet, respectively, from Fox Street.
There would be no detrimental visual. impact on the neighborhood
by allowing a -variance from the "front yard" ordinance. Land-
scaping which would shield the structure from Fox Street has been
incorporated into the design.
E) Because of the size of the property and the landscaping
design, the essential character of the neighborhood will not be
altered by allowing the variances.
7. The proposed caretaker residence meets all performance standards
of Section 10.20, Subdivision 3 (G).
8. The City Council has considered this application including the
findings and recommendations of the Plarning Commission, reports by
City staff, comments by the applicant anal the effect of the proposed
variances on the health, safety and welfare of the community.
9. The City Council finds that the conditions existing on this pro-
perty are peculiar to it and do not apply generally to other property
in this zoning district; that granting the variances would not
adversely affect traffic conditions, light, air nor pose a fire hazard
or other danger to neighboring properties; would not merely serve as a
convenience to the applicant, but is necessary to alleviate a demon-
strable hardship or difficulty; is necessary to preserve a substantial
property right of the applicant; and would be in keeping with -,he
spirit and intent of the Zoning Code and Comprehensive Plan of the
City.
10. The City Council finds that grantinq it conditional use permit to
allow the guest. house use for a caretaker residence will not be
detrimental to the health, safety or general welfare of the public,
would not adversely affect light, air nor pose a fire hazard or other
danger to neighboring properties, not will it depreriate surrounding
property values and thatthe proposed level of us#., of the property
will be in keepinq with the intent and cabiectives of the goring Codl-
and Comprehensive Plan of the ;' i t y.

CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT
Present for this matter were: James McNulty of McNulty
Construction; Consultant Planner Edward Hasek of
Dahlgren, Shardlow, Jban; Attorney Todd D. Andrews;
Duncan Macmillan; and other wt:ial,ers of the MacMillan
family.
City Administrator Bernhardson explained the request for
a variance and conditional use permit to onstruct a
caretaker house and a 16,000 s.f. (in floor area)
recreational facility, most of which consists of and
indoor tennis court. He noted that the attorney for the
MacMillan's has submitted a list of their hardships.
One question is whether the construction of thi,
facility may or may not be out of line with this
particular sizeable property. Secondly, it may not
reach the level of hardships, however unique, to justify
the variances. Because of these questions, staff
recommends possibly looking at an ordinance to regulate
arressory structures over 1.000 s.f. by the use of a
conditional use permit.
Mr. McNulty explained the proposed landscaping in order
to minimize the effect that the difficulty in location
of the the recreational facility due to the soils and
slopes.
Mr. Hasek further explained the careful planning
involved in the final proposed location of the facility
and their plans for two levels of 12'-16' pine trees to
accomplish year around natural screening.
Mr. Duncan MacMillan explained that this property has
been in their family for over 60 years and has remained
basically the same during this period of time and do riot
plan or desire to change the nature of the property. He
stated that the intent of the recreational facility is
strictly for family use noting they have aken great
care, including filing a covenant pertaining to the use,
to avoid any concerns from the community.
There were no comments from the public regarding this
matter.
Councilmember Goetten questioned the location of the
caretaker residence as opposed to being more centrally
located.
Mr. McNulty stated th-t. proposed location seemed the
most logical for maintenance functions and security.

MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO COUNCIL MEETING HELD MAY 11, 1987
#1119 MACMILLAN
CONTINUED
Mayor Grabek expressed concern with restrictions to
alleviate the possibilty of a future subdivision being
this is a 13+ acre parcel in a 2 acre zone.
Assistant Zoning Administrator Gaffron noted that the
applicant's proposed covenant states if the property
were ever sold or subdivided the recreational facility
would remain with the main residence, however it does
not state that the property would never be subdivided.
Mr. Andrews stated he has submitted a proposed covenant
to the City Attorney for her review but to date has not
received a response.
Mayor Grabek stated that he felt the proposal w,. s
compatible to this piece of property and that it would
not upset the environment and natural state, taking into
consideration that this property could be developed into
7 two acre homes sites.
City Administrator Bernhardson stated that the nature of
the structure may blend very well with this 13.5 acre
parcel and with the appropriate screening and private
covenants may be an acceptable product. However, the
problem lies wi'-h any similar application on a 3-4 acre
parcel where the applicant is willing to provide the
same type of screening measures with equivalent
hardships, the City may be hardpressed to deny a
variance. Therefore, staff suggests doing an ordinance
amendment which would scale the size of the accessory
structure over 1000 s.f. to the size of the property and
setbacks etc. Staff recommends this amendment procedure
prior to approval of this application, which may delay
approval of this application until late June/early July.
Mr. McNulty stated that th,s project would take
approximately 5-6 months and they wanted it ready by
winter.
Mayor Grabek questioned if there was some way to
accomodate the applicant yet protect the pity?
City Attorney Barrett felt that eithei the variance
would have to be granted or table for the amendment,
anything in the interim or temporary would not be
appropriate.
Mayor Grabek noted that this application started in
March and a great deal of work has beer. involved in
finalizing it to the City's satisfaction, which in
fairness should not be delayed further.
MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO COUNCII. MEETING HELD MAY 11, 1967
#1119 MACMILLAN CONTINUED
Councilmember Sime stated for all practical purposes he
did not see that the City would be inundated with
requests and that this would not be setting a
precedent..
Councilmember Callahan agreed with Councilmember Sime
regarding the need for such an amendment.
City Administrator Bernhardson explained that because of
the few applications per year for accessory structures
over 1000 s.f., st.iff still felt it was appropriate to
address those in an amendment.
It was moved by Mayor Grabek, seconded by Councilmember
Peterson, to approve the variance and conditional use
permit as proposed. Motion, Ayes 4, Nays 1.
Councilmember Callahan voted nay stating he had
difficulty regarding the size and finding a real
hardship involved in addition to his concern with the
covenant and the future use.
#1120 RICHARD RAGATZ
1945 CONCORDIA STREET
VARIANCE
Richard Ragatz was present for this matter.
City Administrator Bernhardson explained the request for
a permanent hardcover variance or for a four year period
of time which was tabled at the April 27th Council
meeting for additional information from Assistant Zoning
Administrator Gaffron who handled this application and
was not present at that meeting. Gaffron has since
outlined in a memo the facts in this case, of which he
stated that the issue of the addition was not part of
the original application but was strictly an issue of
side setbacks for the garage. Mr. Ragatz' original
placement of the garage was to avoid a hardcover issue,
however, Planning Commission requested the garage be
moved further back which did create a need for a
hardcover. variance. Assistant Zoning Administrator
Gaffic-n's recommends that a permanent hardcover variance
status not be granted, finding no hardships or unusual
circumstances and finding that granting such a status
would be in keeping neither with past practice not with
zoning code requirements.
Mr. Ragatz war, present for this matter and stated that
he requested to build a new garage in the same location
as it exists. The garage on the property is on his lot
line. The Planning Commission recommended a more
conforming location which created the problem of
hardcover for a future addition. He stated tha- the

To: Mark F rnhardson
From; Kathleen Blatz
Re: The MacMillan Land Use Application
Date: June 18, 1987
Upon review of the suggested amendment to the resolution
approving the variance for the recreational center, it
is my legal opinion that the language is unnecessary.
As you are aware, city councils cannot bind future city
councils from amending covenants agreed to by previous
councils. Specifically, if a future council reviews an
a,_jlication to modify an existing covenant, it can approve
or deny the covenant based on the facts presented to it
at that time. Language contained in the covenant stating
that the council may amend the covenant if it finds certain
factors to be met can be ignored or conformed to based
on the judgment of the council sitting at that time.
While such language may be comforting to an applicant
or the city co uric iI, the inclusion of the lanyuaye could
be deleterious to their interests at the time of review
in the future. t`►at is most important is that the city
council have the flexibility t, evaluate and review land
use applications against factors Px1sting at the time
of review and not at the time original covenants were
adopted.
If you have any questions about this matter or need further
c'arificati3n, please do nct hesitate to contact me.

Exhibit A - Memo & Exhibits of 6/11/87
Exhibit B - Planning Commission Notice of 6/16/87
Exhibit C - Resolution
This is a request for an average lakeshore setback variance. Please
review the memo and exhibits of 6/11/87. Planning Commission at their
6/15/87 meeting recommended approval. as submitted, noting that the lot
configuration and house location in relationship to the laxeshore is a
unique situation, and finding that the resultant neighboring lake view
increa in conjunction with the applicant's intended reductions in 75-250'
hardco :r are a positive improvement to the property and the neighborhood.
Staff Recommendation -
Staff recommends approval per the attached resolution.
NOTE: Planning Commissioner Bellows correctly pointed out that the
reduction in hardcover from 33.9s. to under 25% in the 75-250' zone should
have required a variance application in itself, based on the relatively
recent Council policy that all properties with existing hardcover in excess
of the limits, must he reviewed by Planning Commission and Council when
proposing improve .nts. Staff would generally agree; however, in this case
where, based on staff's hardcover review, that the ultimate result would be
a property that conforms to the hardcover requirements, staff felt it would
have been unjust and unfair to the applicant co hold up his entire project
for two months for a hardcover approval of a proposal that does not need a
hardcover. variance. Staff would suggest that an administrative review by
Council with some type of more formal permit agreement, is perhaps more
appropriate than the standard public hearincT/Planning Commission
recommen0ation/Council action process that takes a minimum of 6-8 weeks.
Would the Council consider a change in the current guidelines?

Exhibit E - Composite Survey With Staff Notations
Exhibit F - Deck Plans
PERTINENT FACTS
- Applicant is removing existing garage and major portion
of driveway, replacing with grass, to result in final 75-
250' hardcover of 24.2%, meeting the requirements.
- The removals also result in removal of structure
previously in the 0-75' zone.
- Variance required is average lakeshore setback variance
for the 2nd story deck. Note that the entire deck and most
of the -xisting house is within the average setback zone.
DISCUSSION
The proposed deck is mostly over an existing slab on the
lake side of the house and will surround the existing screen
porch. With the addition of the deck and the removal of the
garage, there ►ctually is a 6 degree view increase as viewed from
the Durda property. However, tPchnicafTy, this requires an
Average setback variance because the new deck encroachment pa(;',
the average setback line is nume-ically great than the old
garage encroachment.
STAR 02COWNWATtON
Staff views tt is project as an overal 1 improvement of the
situation, ie. the only affected neighbor, r)urda, gets an
increased field of the view of the lake; a structure in the 9-73'
zone is removed, and excnss hardcover in the '5-250' zone is
remo,wed so that it meets City requirPments-

A RESOLUTION GRANTING
A VARIANCE TO
MUNICIPAL ZONIWG CODE
SECTION 10.22, SUBDIVISION 1
FILE #1152
WHEREAS, Frank Janecky (hereinafter "the applicant") is the owner
of the property located at 3145 North Shore Drive within the City of Orono
(hereinafter "City") and legally described as follows:
Tract B, Registered Land Survey No. 1113, files of Registrar of
Titles, Hennepin County, Minnesota, (hereinafter "the property"); and
WHEREAS, the applicant has appli,:d to the City for a variance to
Municipal Zoning Code Section 10.22, Subdivision 1 to permit the
construction of a second story deck that will encroach 89' into the average
lakeshore setback zone where no encroachment is normally allowed.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of Orono,
Minnesota:
FINDINGS
1. This application was reviewed as Zoning File 01152.
2. The property is located in the LR-1B Single Family Lakeshore
Residential Zoning District.
3. The Orono Planning Commission reviewed this application on June
15, 1987, and recommended approval of the proposed variance based upon
the following findings:
A) Applicant is remodeling the existing house and as part of
that remodeling is replacing the existing attached garage with a
new attached garage in a more conforming location. The result
is that removal of the old garage coupled with construction of
the propose(-.' deck actually results in an increase in lake views
of- the affected neighhor at 3115 North Shore Drive by
approxin at.(-1 y 6 3egrees. The now deck encroachment technically
does require a v<, r i ar,c-e because it encroaches further past the
avc! age l akc shore setback I. i rj( than the existing garage.
P) Th- pr,)p(,se,•i ?t'r:k I1-• mainly ovt_I- an cxi.,iting slab and In
Coll lunct i(-,n wl th (7t�nr iL rre•nt rerrcva Is C)f rre-exi st i ng hardcover on
the proht_rty, the property wi l l becomv• conforminq as to hardcover
percentage- in the 75-2 1U' zone.
r) The encroachment r%f ►�?' into :> tho average set-I)ack zone is a
resu 1 t of the unuslu a 1 def i nod 3hc)re 1 i nr configuration in the
nelghhorhood and the locatlorls of oxir;tinq residences in relation
to the shorn1inv.

RESOLUI iON OF THE CITY COUNCIL
4. The City Council has considered this application including the
findings and recommendations of the Planning Commission, reports by
City staff, comments by the applicant and the effect of the proposed
variance on the health, safety and welfare of the community.
5. The City Council finds that the conditions existing on this
property are peculiar to it and do not apply generally to other
property in this zoning district; that granting the variance would not
adversely affect traffic conditions, light, air nor pose a fire hazp.rd
or other danger to neighboring property; would not merely serve as a
convenience to the applicant, but is necessary to alleviate a demon-
strable hardship or difficulty; is necessary to preserve a substantial
property right of the applicant; and would be in keeping with the
spirit and intent of the Zoning Code and Comprehensive Plan of the
City.
CONCLUSIONS, ORDER AND CONDITIONS
rased upon the above findings, the Orono City Council hereby
grants a variance per Municipal Zoning Code Section 10.22, Subdivision 1 to
permit the construction of a second story deck that will encrcat-h 89' into
the average lakeshore setback zone where no encroachment is normally
allowed, subject to the followin7 conditions:
1. Applicant hereby reaffirms his agreement that the hardcover
remo% a 1 s as shown or. Exhibit "A" attached shall occur pz for to
issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy for the residence.
2. Authorities granted with this reso' :ion run with the property not
o:ith the applicant, but are permissive only and must be exercised by
application for a building permit within one year of the date of
Council approval, or this -ve riance will expire on that date (June 22,
1988).
3. Violation of or non-compliance with any of the terms and
conditions of this resolution shall constitute a violation of the
zoning code, shall automatically terminate any authority granted
herein, and shall be punishable as a misdemeanor.
4. The undersigned applicant has read, understood and hereby agrees
to the terms of this resolution and on behalf of himself, his
heirs, successors and assigns, hereby agrees to the recordinq of this
resolution in the chain of title of the property.

is proposing to do work within the 0-75' setback area as
Item I. Two areas of _existing concrete hardcover are proposed to be
replaced in kind (same length and width) because they are cracked. This
constitutes no change in existinq hardcover (note that entire house is
within the 0-75' setback zone, and has existed there about 30 years). The
slab that leads to the front entry is about 5'x25'. The garage apron is
about 2'xl6'. Both ,labs are mostly under overhangs. Staff recommends
approval of the pr ,jsed replacement work.
Item 2. Re -grading of the shoreline is necessary becau^e the ice
heave over the years has created a bumpy, uneven "berm" at the Lakeshore
which is unmowable without difficulty, and is unsightly. The proposal. is
to use a "bobcat" to qrade this level with the rest of the lawn, then re-
sod. City Engineer Glenn Cook has viewed the site and fully supports the
proposal, as long as proper erosion measures (silt fence) are in place
during construction.
Item I. The
bath ho•_ise is an old str)ne
structure that

From: Robert P. Schmitt
1475 Shoreline Drive
Gentlemen:
Over the years the weather, the vegetation, and general ageing have
caused some deterioration to my property which I am proposing to
rehabilitate with your permission.
Fundamentally, the.i are three projects which I would like to
accomplish:
1) Our front lawn has been mounded over the years by 'ie annual
spring thaw and subsequent ice pressure, making the :n unsightly
a,d difficult to mow. This is illustrated in pictures Ptl through M .
I propose to scull off existing sod, level the bare surface, apply
about. 2 inches of black dirt, and lay new sod over the entire area.
2) A rath,ar dilapidated bath house was on our property when I purchased
it in 1971'. We've used it for minor storage but it really isn't very
good for an.i.hing because the roof is rotted through, and ►rge
adjacent cottonwood tree has raised part of the foundation
footings with its growing roots. I propose to demolish th.i! oath
house and landscape the ground it has occupied so that it is
complimentary to the appearance of its surroundings. Probably S ing
any indentations P..-4 covering with sod will be my election.
The bath house it s current. condition is illustrated in pictures
Pt 5 V )ugh Pt 8.
1) Something since 1955 when it wPs installE'd has caused my front
sidewalk and drive%-,ty apron to generate rather unattractive cracks in
the ooment.. i propf -ie to remove the exi s.t. i ng cement and replace it
wit :xa(-tly the same kind of cement, o.ily this time without cracks

We have reviewed the improvements proposed on the Schmitt property at 1475
Shoreline Drive. The ice prRssure has farmed a ridge on the yard along the
shoreline which should be corrected.
The placement of a silt fence along the shoreline ahould be required. The
grading and sodding work should b!L- completed within a week to minimize the po-
tential for erosion.
The proposed work will not solve the problem but only correct the damage
caused to date. The rip rap along the shoreline has been placed at approxi-
mately a 1:1 slope. The steep slope does not allow the ice io ride over the
rip rap. Extensive rip rap work would be necessary to minimize future prob-
lems with the shoreline.
We would recommend that the proposed work be allowed. If you ha%e any ques-
tions, please contact this office.
Yours very truly,

WHEREAS, Robert P. Schmitt (hereinafter "the applicant") is the
owner of the property located at 1475 Shoreline Drive within the City of
Orono (hereinafter "City") and legally described as follows:
That part of Government Lot 2 lying North of N.J. Stubbs 1st Addition
and lying Easterly of County Road No. 15 and Southerly of the channel
running from Mud Lake to Lake Minnetonka, Hennepin County, Minnesota
(hereinafter "property"); and
WHEREAS, the applicant has made application to the City of Orono
to permit the re -grading of his lakeshore yard, requiring a conditional use
permit per Section 10.03, Subdivision 19 and a variance to Section 10.55,
Subdivision 8; and to permit replacement of existing hardcover in the 0-75'
lakeshore setback zone where no hardcover is normally allowed per Section
10.22, Subdivision 2 and Section 10.55, Subdivision 9; and to permit the
grading work associated with the removal of a non -conforming structure
located less than 10 feet from the shoreline, per Section 10.03,
Subdivision 19.
Minnesota:
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of Orono,
FINDINGS
1. This application was reviewed as Zoning File 01158
2. The property is located in the LP-1A Fingle Family Lakeshore
Residential Zoning District.
3. The Orono Planning Commission reviewed this application on June
15, 1987, and recommended approval of the projects, based on the
following findings:
A) The two areas of existing cracked concrete to be
replaced
include
a 51x25'
entryway slab providing access to
the main
entrance
of the
house, and an apron �.n front of the garage
doors
that is
mostly
under an overhang. Both of these
items are
integral
to the
house and have existed since the home
was built
in 195`.,.
Page 1 of 4
t C;C i t y- of ORONO
Y RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL
NO.
B) The small bath house at the lakeshore is of rock and mortar
construction and this building has become dilapidated. Applicant
proposes to remove this non -conforming structure and grade its
foundation to blend with the existing contours of the lot. This
project is an improvement to the property and will decrease the
hardcover percentage in the 0-75' setback zone.
C) The berm at the edge of the lake created by ice pressure over
many years is a safety hazard due to its unevenness and creates
problems for lawn maintenance. Re -grading and immediate te-
sodding of the berm area as proposed will have no detrimental
effect on the lake.
4. The City Council finds that the conditions existing on this pro-
perty are peculiar to it an,l do not apply generally to other property
in this zoning district; that granting the variance would not
adversely affect traffic conditions, light, air nor pose a fire hazard
or other danger to neighboring properties; would not merely serve as a
convenience to the applicant, but is necessary to alleviate a demon-
strable hardship or difficulty; is necessary to preserve a substantial
property right of the applicant; and would be in keeping with the
spirit and intent of the Zoning Code and Comprehensive Plan of the
City.
5. The City Council finds that granting a conditional use permit to
allow the proposed projects in the 0-75' lakeshore zone will not be
detrimental to the health, safety or general welfare of the public,
would not adversely aff# :t light., air nog- pose a fire hazard or other
dariger to neighboring properties, nor will. it depreciate surrounding
property valuer and that the proposed level of use of the property
wi 1 1 be in keeping with the intent and objectives of the Zoning Code
and Comprehensive Plan of the City.
CONCLUSIONS, ORDER AND CONDITIONS
B-rsel upon one or mare of the aho-ve findings, the Orono City
Council hereby grants conditional use permit per SF.,ction 10.03, Subdivision
19 and a variance to Section 10.55, 17i_11-)divis.ion 6 to allow re -grading of
ttrt_> lak(-shc:re yard; grants a var lance_ to Section 10.22, Subdivision 2

3. The applicant is advised that the proposed shoreline grading work
will not solve the problem but only correct the damage caused to date.
The rip rap along the shoreline has been placed at approximately a 1:1
slope. The steep slope does not allow the ice to ride over the rip
rap. Extensive rip rap work would be necessary to minimize future
problems with the shoreline.
4. Applicant is advised that hardcover on the property is excessive
in the 0-75' lakeshore setback zone and any proposed future additions
of hardcover on the property will require variance approval.
5. Permits required for this project include:
a) Grading Permit - $50.50 per current fee schedule.
b) Demolition Permit - $30.50.
6. Authorities granted by this resolution run with the property not
with the applicant, but are permissive only and must be exercised by
application for the proper permits within one year of the date of
Council approval, or the special coditions of this resolution will
expire on that date (June 2.2, 1988).

tions of this resolution shall constitute a violation of the zoning
code, shall automatically terminate any authority granted herein, and
shall be punishable as a misdemeanor.

ISSUE - Determination by the Council as to the cijanges that they
would desire to the preliminary Comprehensive Plan Amendment
prior to its submission to Metro Council.
INTRODUCTION - As you will recall and as noted in Attachment B
the Planning Commission recommended approval of the initial
Comprehensive Plan Amendment with a couple of changes. This was
reviewed by the Council at their March 30th meeting and again at
the April 27th meeting. Subsequently it was tabled until the
June 22nd meeting. The reason for this was Long Lake had
indicates] a desire for possible annexation of properties and
subsequent discussions were held on this matter. Additionally
the City had invited the City of Long Lake to make any further
comments they have regarding the Comp Plan. Additionally note
that Attachments B and C are responses from the City of Plymouth
and the City of Wayzata.
DISCUSSION - As a summary for Attachment A the following are t`,e
recommended changes from the original draft of the Co—) Plan.
Area 1 - Planning Commission indicates that th.i should
stay a single family residential on an unsewered basis.
Metro Council has indicated that they would not permit
any commercial/industrial development septic systems
outside of freestanding rural growth areas on which this
is not one.
Area 2 - The issue here relates to the "access" road as
noted in the attached plan. There are a couple of
alternative routes proposed. It is anticipated that
Orono would work with the City of Long Lake together
with the property owners affected in attempting to
determine the best routing for this.
n
Area 3 - The fcl.lowing represent the major issues for
Area 3.
- Type of land use
- Extent of MUSA line extension
- As noted in Attachment B. It is recommended the MUSA
line include the entire block between Old Crystal Bay
and Willow because of potential on -site sewer system
possibilities on that land. It is additionally
recommended that as it relates to use, given Long Lake's
concern for that use, that the Comp Plan indicate that
Orono's final decision regarding land use under the
Comprehensive Plan will be reviewed in light of the
impact upon the impact that it has in the corridor both
in Long bake and Orono.
Area 4 - While the principle issue for this area is
whether the MUSA line is extended to include this entire
area as recommended, the issue of the density of single
family residential units is at issue. Since the actual
rezoning of the property cannot be considered without a
formal request and the fact that the zoning ordinance
would have to be amended as part of the Highway 12
corridor study land 5efore we could accept the plan, it
is recommended th-t that portion be commenced at the
time the City Council adopts the final Comprehensive
Plan following Metro Council review.
Area 5 - It is recommended this remain as proposed.
RECOMMENDATION - It is recommended that the Council adopt the
plan as recommended by the Planning Commission with the only
recommended staff change being that the MUSA line include all of
Area 3. Additionally a statement that indicates the land use
issue at the time of rezoning will be reviewed for compatibility
to other development in the Orono/Long Lake Highway 12 corridor.
PROPOSED MOTION - Moved by , seconded by , that the Council
adopt preliminarily the Comprehensive Plan Amendment #2 as
amended and that he forwarded to the Metropolitan Council and
other affected jurisdictions for their review. Ayes _, Nays

INTRODUCTION -
At the 3/30 Council meeting, Council reviewed all the areas within the
corridor regarding the proposed changes in the comprehensive plan amendment
except for the Sid Reber's property, labeled as Area #4. Since the last
meeting, the City of Orono has commenced discussions with the City of Long
Lake regarding various topics for necotiation to the comprehensive plan to
be adopted. At that meeting, Long Lake indicated their desire to annex
certain designated properties within the corridor. At the Orono staff's
request, they have transmitted the letter, appended to this memo as
Attachment A. In addition, staff rc.•coiveci a petition from the persons in
the vicinity of North Brown Road regarding their desire that the Council
retain the Reber's property at the two (2) acre denisty.
nTC1'T1CCTn I -
The following represent thr, principal areas for additional discussion
of the meeting of the 27th.
A. Reber's ProperLy_- Area 4. As you may recall, a Planning
Commisslon endorsed the act that the entire property should be
included within the MUSA line for sewer service for the property. Mr
Rebers, during the Planning Commission consideration, had presented a
combination proposed development that would be two (2) acres across
the northern part of the property, transitioning back to the two (2)
1
acre rural with one (1) acre residential proms ty between that and the
commercial area. While there is no speci re -zoning request in
front of you, it is appropriate to look at t,:: intensity of possible
development in this area prior to approval of the comprehensive plan
ar endment. As noted in Attachment B, the residences in the vicinity
e`: this prop. rty however, have a signed a petition indicating that
they desire the tw - (2) acre desity be maintained throughout the
propo rty. It becomes an issue of the point at which the property is
trans:tioned back from a currently zoned commercial property back to
the two (2) acre residential standard.
B. Northeant-Corner - Area #3. While discussed last time, there may
be persons in the audience who want to further discuss the inclusion
of the northeast corner of Area #3 within the Metropolitan Urban
Service Area Line or development issues of feasibility and economies.
C. Annexation. As mentioned in the introduction and as noted in
Attachment A, the City of Long Lake has extended their willingness
together with their rational for annexing certain properties within
the corridor on the north side of Highway 12. While Orono may not
share the same perspective on whether annexation is appropriate or on
the historical development of the area, if Long Lake desires to annex,
it is appropriate that it be discussed in a cooperative and
constructive manner. In addition to annexation of properties within
the corridor, they also desire to annex their sewer pond property that
they own within the City of Orono. As you may recall, the sewer pond
property was originally discussed regarding a possible change of
zoning of the property from the current two (2) acre residential to a
more i ,tense severed development about 2-3 years ago to be of a
density similar to Long Lake's development on the west side of Orono
Orchard Road. Representatives from the Long Lake Council will be
available to make a presentation of their request together wit-h
answering any questions that Council -.ay have.
D. Highway 12 Task Force. T:;e Highway 12 Task Force group of
Willmar, made a presentation to representatives of Long Lake, Maple
Plain, Independence, and Orono at a meetin5 held April 20, 1987.
Long Lake and Independence have presently gone on record supporting
the Task Force desire to upgrade Highway 12, while Maple Plain and
Orono have been in opposition to it and have indicated their desire to
look at other optionc for endorsing a particular plan. For a portion
of Highway 12 between t1ayz=ta and r,elano, the Task Force has indicated
that they desire ",-)pen access" four (4) lane but indicated nothing
regarding routing or any other specifics. Representatives from MnDot
in attendance, indicated a four (4) lane is somewhat justi ied at a
level as; l-)w as 8,^01 to 13,000 trips per lay. The current 17,000 to
19,000 trips per day within the with the expectation of going
to upwar..is to 25,20o trips per day would -,ost probably qualify for .a
four (4) lane. This group has apparently gotten the attention of
various MnDot districts through which Highway 12 crosses, (four (4)
districts in total) and have had some influence on a construction
upgrade between Cokato and Montrose, together with District 5 now
putting some improvement to tiighw3y 12 n their programing the mid
90's. When the City had approached !4nnot initially j year and a half
ago, they had indicated that there was nothing on the plans for
7
Highway 12 past the year 2000. At the meeting it was requested that
in order to have a more informed discussion on the matter, that MnDot
indicate what the maximum design they could do within the existing
corridor together with indicating what could or would be a possible
corridor routing for a four (4) lane, should .t be outside the
existing corridor. It was indicated that this was not to be an
endorsement of any particular idea, but only attempting to get
information regarding the alternatives. While this may have some
eventual impact on the Highway 12 corridor it is still in the
preliminary stages.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that;
A. Following presentation of information on the items the Council discuss
area by area and identifying any additional information or issues they
desire addressed regarding this Comprehensive Plan Amendment $2.
B. Council table further consideration of the Comprehensive Plan for two
weeks in light of annexation request together with allowing the opportunity
to develop other information or issues the Council desires staff to
address.
PROPOSED MOTION - Moved by , seconded by , the Council having further
disc-issed the matter table the issue until at least the May 11, 1987
meeting for consideration of any additional information together with the
most recently presented information. Ayes __, Nays _.

RE: Highway 12 Corridor Study; Long Lake Sewer Plant Property
Dear Mayor and Members of the Council:
As you may know Ilayor Smeby, nyself and our city engineer, Jeff Roos, met
with Or•ono's staff delegation April 9, 1987, to discuss issues pertaining to
your on -going Highway 12 Corridor Study and other matters of mutual concern to
our cities. We are very happy to begin these discussions with you. While we
had some obvious points of important disagreement, I think everyone present on
the 9th would agree that there was excellent communication. If nothing else
several rumors and false impressions were put to rest or properly explained.
We hope that this kind of communication will continue in the future so that both
cities can operate knowledgably and toward common goals.
At the close of the meeting Hark Bernhardson requested that we provide you
with a written statement outlining our position with regard to the Corridor
Study area and the old sewer plar. property. During the meeting we told your
staff delegation that Long Lake believes it is in the best interests of both
cities that a portion of the Corridor Study area, between North Brown Road and
Old Crystal Bay Road, the south half of the area north of Highway 12, be detached
from Orono and annexed into Long Lake. We also advised of our i►tention to
acquire jurisdiction over the old sewer plant property by similar means.
Given these circumstances ti..0 .,ould like to explain the bases of our position:
1. Corridor _Study Area. As you know Long Lake's growth and density over
the years caused us to construct, maintain and improve municipal sewer and
water services. These services have allowed us to develop residential, commercial
and industrial uses to the point that Long Lake has become the business and trade
center for an area involving abort 7,000 peo,11e.
Orono, on the other hand, has always held a low -density development philosophy
in order to protect and preserve open spaces, natural amenities and watershed.
Long Lake has great respect for this philosophy and we want to recognize Orono's
needs in that regards. As a result of this historical and philosophical dichotomy
we are puzzled as to your present desire to intensify the cormercial and
residential use of the corridor study area. Since we have expended the time and
resources to develop our municipal services, and our development, we believe
that concurrent detachment and annexation of the above -stated portion of the
study area would help Orono to perpetuate its differing philosophy and assist us
in supporting our tax base.
Another important factor in our consideration is our own Downtown Redevelop-
ment Pro.;ect. As you may also know, Long Lake has been working very hard since
1980 to acquire our redevelopment site. We have invested nearly two million
dollars into the site. Our experts tell us that the 7,000 person trade area is
about all the business there is to go around. We are also informed that there
are areas within the corridor study area which have some natural and practical
advantages over our site. We feel a strong obligation toward ourselves and our
business district. We are currently undergoing the developer selection process.
We have been careful to screen the applicants in order to ensure (to the extent
possible) that existing businesses will be coripleriented rather than competed
against when our redevelopment activities are complete. Unless we control
development of that area along Highway 12 which constitutes the greatest threat
to our project and our businesses, we find ourselves at great economic risk.
The area of greatest risk to us is the area we are proposing for detachment and
annexation. Since we developed the services necessary to develop this area, we
believe that it should be ours to develop.
2. Sewer Plant Property. This property is also seen as vitally important
to us. Long Lake owns the property and it is tax exempt. Thus, it produces
nothing °n tax revenue to the City of Orono. Its annexation into Long Lake would
allow us to develop it residontially and in keeping with the deveiopment on the
west side of Orono Orchard Road. These hones would support our business
community and our redevelopment project. They would also increase our tax base
and help support the school district.
While there have been certain nearby Orono residents who have opposed our
annexation of this land we do not perceive the present development in the
neighborhood as in any way substandard or de'.rir7c-ntal to property values.
We ask that you consider our position carefully and with open rinds. We
plan to attend your meeting of April 27th to discuss these issues.if you so desire.
We understand, however, that the subject is sensitive for both cities and we have
no desire to have a public confrontation at City Hall. It is obvious to everyone
concerned that there have been some high emotions in the past dealing with your
corridor study and we want to make it clear that we do not want to cause embarrass-
ment. If you would prefer to meet separately in order to continue discussions we
would be happy to oblige.
Thank you for your consideration and or behalf of myself, our Mayor and City
Council I extend our best personal regards.
Very truly yours,

ISSUE - Consideration of Comprehensive Plan Amendment for
preliminary approval by City Council for submission to Metro
council and abutting jurisdictions for their input as it relates
to co,formance to metropolitan systems.
INTRODUCTION - On February 2nd and February 17, 1987, the
Planning Commission held a public hearing on Attachment A with
their comments regarding their recommendations as noted in
Attachment F. Planning Commission recommendations are also noted
below.
Prior to submissi^n to Metro Council, it is appropriate, although
not required, that the Council grant their preliminary approval
to this document. Following Comprehensive Plan amendment if any
and adoption by Metro Council, it will be returned to the City
for the final adoption Dy the City Council.
It should be noted that Attachment 13 outlinQs a request for delay
by an attorney for one of the significant property owners, Sid
Rebers, as they are not able to attend the mer `.ing on the 30th.
Given the fact that a number of communities particularly Long
Lake have been invited to be in attendan,2e at the 30th meeting,
staff felt it appropriate that the Council consider the majority
of parcels in the corridor and their overall look at the plan on
the 30th, and then table consideration on parcel t4 unt.l their
April 27, 1987 meeting for further input from Mr. Rebers together
with any other interested parties. Following that, it would be
appropriate to consider preliminary approval of the plan.
DISCUSSION - Suggested consideration of the plan is to break the
areas in the Highway 12 corridor down into:
A. Areas where no substanital change in land useis
proposed (see page 31 of Attachment A) as designated by
letters A thru E.
B. Areas where land use chann- is proposed.
The only significant departure in th .:a for minimal change in
Planning Commission's recommendation _- opposed to the original
recommendation document was in the area designated E the area for
the new Day Care Center. As noted in Exhibit C of Attachment H
dated 1/30/87, the Cici's have requested that water and sewer be
extended to the property. while water extension from Long Lake
would require only an agreement between the City of Orono and the
City of Long Lake, who have already expressed their desire to
extend water service, the extension of sewer as a Metropolitan
system would appropriately require a Comprehensive Plan change.
As noted the rational for this extension, of the services, is
that a Day Care Center would require a sprinkler. The cost of
digging a 500 gallon per minute well was considerably more
expensive than the alternative of extending later service. The
extension of sewer, in conjunction with that it was felt to be
the best long term solution by the property owner and was so
recommended by the Planning Commission to be included in the MUSA
line.
As for the other areas where change is recommended the following
represents both the staff recommendation and Planning
Commission's recommendation.
Staff Planning Commission
Property Area Recommendation Recommendation
1. SW Corner of Unsewered ;.ight Unsewered single

Crystal Bay & reduce direct it::y 12 reduce ai rect

a.) In a phone conversation with Metro Council 3/24/87 they
indicated that their policy no longer allows new unsewered
commercial/industrial areas apart from designated rural
development centers, a designation that is doubtful to obtain for
Orono.

Attachment C addresses the desire of the new property owner that
sewer be included to the northeast portion of area 3 because of
existing soil conditions.
Additionally Sid Rebers is asking for his compromise proposal
which it is requested the Council address on the April 27, 1987
meet ing .
The City of Long Lake as the most affected jurisdiction has
raised the following as significant issues.
A. Brown Road - The orginal document proposed that Brown
Road connection to Highway 12 be eliminated. Because of
the situation visa vis access to the Bank and the
Townhouses Planning Commission recommended that some
other solution be looked at. Staff has looked at a
number of solutions which would address some of the
concerns of Brown Road as it exists now without cutting
out the access.
B. South Frontage : ad - Connection to Daniel Street
originally the more southerly configuration was
developed at the suggestion of an elected official in
Long Lake. At the February 17, 1967 Planning Commission
meeting Long Lake raised the concern of a direct
ft
connection of this frontage road across Daniel Street
as an issue they would like to address. Orono stands
open for discussion on this matter. As the primary goal
for Orono is to eliminate direct access on Hwy 12
together with an intercorridor access point south of Hwy
12, north .,f the railroad between Willow and Old Crystal
Bay.
C. Water Service - The presentation by the City
Engineer f_or Long lake indicated that they would discuss
the issue of water service with the City. It was
indicated that in addition to extension being at
developers cost, there may be accompanying connection
charges.
D. Sewer - Currently Long Lake feels that there is
concern regarding the amount of allocation they have
together with the "firmness" of the numbers that Orono
is working with regarding the expansion. As has
previously been indicated during the study and also at
the Planning Commission public hearings that the number
of units that are increased will be based on negotiation
between the 3 citiea in the agreement and the attendant
cost of expansion. Given that any zoning to be achieved
in this corridor must demonstrate adequate capacity, it
is not an issue that can be fully addressed at this
point.
Once the Council has considered it both at March 30 and
also at the April 27, 1987 and should they desire to give their
preliminary approval it may be appropriate that the Orono Council
and the Long Lake Council establish a special joint meeting to
discuss this issue '_ogether with other issues of cor..�non interest
including fire and police service etc.
RECOMMENDATION - It is recommended that the Council hear all
comments that various groups may have regarding this plan done on
an area by area basis commencing with the areas of minimal change
ar,' then going on to the areas where changes suggested leaving
d -sion on area 4 until the meeting on April 27, 1987.
In audition the staff would reccmmend the document include
mention of a trails plan as noted in Attachment E. It was the
intent that this be originally included but it was an oversight
in the drafting of the plan. At present a specific graphic
layout is not appropriate as it should blend wirh the eventual
road plan.
Planning Commission did indicete that in the discussion of
housing on page 61. that the term non-traditional single family
housing be ised rather than multi -family development because of
contentations that may carry with it as it relates to apartments.
PROPOSED MOTION - Moved by , seconded by , that the Council
accept information regarding Comprehensive Plan Amendment and
4
that this discussion be continued to its April 27, 1987 meeting
for a possible preliminary approval. Ayes ,, Nays _.

Amendment to the
Plan (Highway 12
As you know, this office represents Rebers Construction,
Inc. Sid Rebers just informed me that the Orono City Council
meeting at which the Comprehensive Plan Amendment is to be
discussed has been rescheduled to March 30, 1987. The purpose of
this letter is to request the City Council to table any
discussion of the plan amendment until the next meeting of the
Council following the March 30 meeting, which I understand is
April 13. If for any reason the April 13 meeting is not
convenient to the Council (and we understand that the Council
wishes to have full membership present for the discussion), we
are amenable to the Council's hearing the matter at the next
meeting at which the full Council will be present.
Our purpose in making this request is that I will be out of
town for the March 30 meeting date and it will be impossible for
me to attend; Larry Hanson of Schoell & Madson will likewise be
out of town and finds it impcssible to attend a March 30 meeting.
We are very concerned that at least one, and ideally both, of us
be present when the Comprehensive Plan Amendment is discussed by
the City Council. Therefore, our request is that the entire
matter be tabled until Sid is able to be present with counsel.

Re: City cf Orono Comprehensive Plan Amendment to the
Community Comprehensive Management Plan Highway 2
Corridor Study)
Dear Mark:
This office represents F`bers Construction, Inc. ("Rebers,
Inc.")A Schoell & Madscn, Inc. ("Schoell & Madson") are serving
Rebers, Inc., as consulting engineers and planners.
After the City of Orono Planning Commission meeting on
Tuesday, Fr')ruary 3, 1987 ("February 3 Meeting"), you requested
that Sid Rebers submit a letter to the City of Orono summarizing
the points madf by Sid Rebers, myself, and Larry Hanson (of
Schoell & MadF-)n) on behalf of Rebers, Inc. at that :meeting.
This letter it written to respond to your request.
At the February 3 Meeting, we made the following points in
review of the proposed Comprehensive Plan Amendment to the
Community Comprehensive Plan (Highway 12 Corridor Study) dated
January 26, 1987 ("the Corridor Study").
I began the presentation by observing that Rebers, Inc.,
wished to go on record as being generally supportive of the
Corridor Study, both as to the general goals and changes in land
use for the entire area and as to the specific changes
recommended for so-called Property No. 4, which is a tract of
land consisting of approximately 45 acres, all but three acres of
which is owned by Rebers, Inc.
Mr. Mark Bernhardson
February 12, 1987

I and Larry Hanson then proceeded to detail the parts of the
Corridor Study which directly impacted on the Rebers, Inc.,
parcel and Rebers, Inc.'s reaction to the same. These
observations may be summarized as follows:
1. We commented that the proposed land use under the
Corridor Study retains B-1 zoning (business/office/commercial)
for approximately ten acres of Propert1- No. 4 abutting Highway 12
and RR-1B zoning (rural residential single-family/2 acre minimum
lot size) for the 35-odd acre remaining portion of the site.
Rebers, Inc., does not object to this zoning with the limited
exceptions elaborated below. We suggested that the boundary line
between the B-1 and the RR-lB zoning be moved slightly to the
north to permit better development of the service road and lots
within the commercial area, as is discussed in more detail below.
2. We comment 3 that we were aware the proposed termination
of North Brown Roa short of Highway 12 would be controversial,
but that Rebers, I,.c., could live with, and would work with the
City for, either of the two alternatives discussed in the
Corridor Study, namely:
(A) To terminate Brown Road north of Highway 12 and to
reroute the same through the Rebers, Inc., parcel to join
Highway 12 approximately opposite Brimhall Avenue, or
(B) To keep Brown Road open, but build a service road
connecting Brown Road to Brimhall.
We suggested a third alternative was to run a service road
directly from Brown Road to Willow Drive, but not to terminate
Brown Road. We suggested that the rerouting of Brown Road
(and/or the construction of a service road) be through that
portion of the Rebers, Inc., parcel that was zoned B-1.
Cur logic in so suggesting was that we anticipated a
relatively heavy traffic volume on this segment of the road, and
wished to insulate the residential area to the north from such
traffic. Further, we suggested that the road be routed in such a
fashion that commercial lots could be utilized on the north side
as wcll as the south side of such service road or rerouted Brown
Road, in order to further insulate the residential area from the
traffic.
3. We commented that Rebers, Inc., was prepared to
cooperate with the City, should the City desire to connect the
proposed Rebers, Inc., residential development on the northern
Mr. Mark Bernhardson
February 12, 1987
Page three
part of Property No. 4 to the Ringerswood subdivision to the west
by an extension called "Pine Ridge." We commented that we shared
the concerns, however, of the residents of Ringerswood that
connecting the two subdivision roads would create an additional
throughway route, which would adversely impact on the residential
character of Ringerswood as well as the proposed Rebers, Inc.,
subdivision.
4. Rebers, Inc., additionally volunteered to provide an
appropriate ponding facility on part of the property zoned B-1,
to help control storm water runoff and to help prevent flooding
and degradation of water quality.
5. We indicated to the Planning Commission that Rebers,
Inc.'s principal concerns with the Corridor Study as the same
impacted on Rebers, Inc.'s parcel had to do with the issues of
(A) availability of municipal sewer and water service and (B) lot
size permitted on the residential portion of Property No. 4.
These concerns are enumerated below.
(A) Larry Hanson commented that the topography of the
site and its soil conditions, in the opinion of his office,
required sanitary sewer service to minimize the
environmental irapact of residential development thereon. He
noted that the land in question consists typically of heavy
gray clay (as does the surrounding area) which is not
conducive to on -site sewage treatment facilities.
(B) He noted further that the entire area is subject
to periodic high water tables as a result of that clay base.
(C) He commented that to construct the private sewer
systems on the lots permitted under the existing zoning code
would require extensive tree removal, first to construct a
primary private: sanitary sewer system, for eac'Lz lot, and
secondly to construct an alternative sanitary sewer drain
field, should the first field fail after ten -plus years.
(D) lie noted, finally, that the appropr e private
sewer system might very well be the so-c�___d mound
system," which had the further drawbacks of being unsightly
and subject to the need for constant -.aintenance ar.d repair.
Mr. Mark Bernhardson
February 12, 1987
Page four
(E) Larry and I commented that Sid Rebers Ls known
throughout the area as a very high quality individual home
builder. He does not wish to put his reputation at risk by
constructing a subdivision which risks having periodic sewer
maintenance problems in future years. He does not want to
create dissatisfied customers or residents.
(F) In contrast to the private sewer alternative,
Larry Hanson and I noted the availability of municipal sewer
service. inasmuch as municipal lines (from Long Lake) are
currently at the boundary line of the property. These
sanitary sewer lines can be extended to the site; there are
apparently sewer units available for allocation, both by
Orono and by Long Lake, significantly in excess of the
number required for this parcel.
6. A parallel but lesser pro'Aem is the current Orono
requirement for the construction of private wells on each of the
residential lots. It is our understanding that municipal water
service is available to the site, from Long Lake. Use of
municipal water requires far less environmental damage and is far
more economical for the individual homeowner. The developer
should be permitted to obtain municipal water service from Long
Lake and thus preclude the requirement of the construction of
individual wells and private water treatment systems.
7. The availability of municipal water and sewer rai..es a
related issue: the ?-acre lot size requirement under Orono's
current zoning code makes the installation of such municipal
services uneconomic. Larry Hanson stated that he had done a
preliminary cost analysis of providing sanitary sewer, water, and
streets to a subdivision of 15 2-acre lots as suggested in the
guide plan, on a preliminary plat plan of the site. He computed
sanitary sewer, water, and street costs at $112.71 per lineal
foot. This converted to a total project cost of $361,000
(assuming a 3200-lineal-foot street system), divided by 15 lots,
or a cost (or special assessment) of $24,000 per lot.
Alternatively, a hypothetical 21-lot layout of mixed lot -ize
(1-acre and 2-acre 'lots) could be laid out un-:er a preli ary
plat he prepared with 2,450 lineal feet, at a cost of $2iE,140
which, when divided by 21 lots, would prcd:ice a lot cost (or
Special assessment) of $13,150.
The numbers just quoted show the significant difference
in cost to the developer, which cost has to be passed on to the
homeowner., of a pure 2-acre lot density plan. Sid Rebers is
Mr. Mark Bernhardson
February 12, 1987
Page five
already preparc-d to assume the significant development costs
implicit in the Corridor Study plan as a cost on Property No. 4.
However, this particular cost is a very heavy burden to to passed
on to homeowners, and forces p.-icing of the lots and the
subdivision to a very high level, which is not necessarily in the
best interest either of Orono or of Long Lake.
Attached for reference are copies of Figures 30 and 31
to the Corridor Study and a xerox copy of a theoretical
subdivision plan incorporating Larry Hanson's suggestions that he
presented to the February 3 Meeting.
Sid Rebers has asked us to reiterate his willingness to work
with the City of Orono on the implementation of the Corridor
Study as described, his willingness to subject his pr%,perty to
the roads and other improvements called for by the giA de plan,
and his willingness to bear his share of assessed costs of the
same, all in the manner described in the Corridor Study. He
would like to work with the City of Orono to address the issues
raised at the February 3 Meeting (and reviewed in Lh'ts letter) by
the Corridor Study, and is eager to move forward with the City
toward a prompt resolution of these matters so that he will be
able to commence the development of Property No. 4. Sid's goal
is to be able to commence development activity on the residential
portion of the site during the fall of 1987.
If you de.;ir(- any further clarification on the matters
discussed herein, ple , do not hesitate to call the undersigned.
Very truly yours,
LEONARD, STREET AND DEINARD

95/175 WATERTOWN ROAD
FINAL SUBDIVISION
RESOLUTION 12152
It was moved by Councilmember Sime, seconded by
Councilmember Goetten, to adopt Resolution #2152
approving the Plat of Peterman Second Addition. Motion,
Ayes 5, Nays 0.
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN 02
Mayor Smeby of Long Lake was present for this matter.
City Administrator Bernhardson recommended that form&l
action on the Comprehensive Plan 02 be tabled until the
April 27, 1987 meeting as requested by Mr. Rebers, owner
of Area 4.
City Administrator Bernhardson explained that the
Comprehensive Plan Amendment being proposed is the
result of a year long study of the Highway 12 Corridor.
Once the Council has given preliminary approval, the
plan is sent to the Metropolitan Council for approval
and also sent to the affected jurisdictions for their
comments. After Metro Council approval, it would be
brought back to the City Council for final adoption and
implementation.
City Administrator Bernhardson explained the overall
comprehensive plan objectives were as follows:
1. Land use - using Orono's general philosophy of
prc'ecting Lake Minnetonka (runoff etc.).
2. Transportation - dealing with Highway 12,
transportation problems through and across corridor.
3. Environmental Protection - keeping major
environmental features intact and if possible
enhancing them.
4. Public Service Provision - that any improvements
be able to pay for themselves, noting it is not the
intent of this change to generate any tax base.
General alternatives considered in this study as
follows:
1. Leave as status quo.
2. Develop possible on -site septic uses that were
not not typical single family home uses.
3. Possible development beyond the existing systems
capacity, particularly transportation, sewer 6 Boater
in the area.
4. Not to go beyond the existing systems, remain
within the existing capacity.
5. Combination of all alternatives 1-4.

standards. He noted some major issues addressed in the
comprehensive plan for the Meti-o Council included
metropolitan systems of sewer, transportation, parr ..,
airport, housing, and MUSA line. The s^wer area was one
of the most critical concerns during the study process
and will require, as proposed, some upgrade of the
existing sewer line between Long Lake, Orono, and Medina
involving negotiations with those communities. Regarding
transportation, frontage roads are proposed to be
developed. Regarding a general aviation airport in
western Hennepin, the area does not appear to be
suitable and suggested an area further north. Regarding
housing, it provides tic opportunity for development of
alternatives to single family homes which include goal;,:
to provide low and moderate income housing. Regarding
MUSA line, there would be expansion proposed in selected
areas.
City Administrator Bernhardson reviewed the following
areas in which no significant changes are recommended:
Area A - Portion of land at intersection of Hwy. 12
and County Road 6, referred to as Summerfield Farm
area. This is currently non -conforming use and no
changes are recommended.
Area B - Currently is desi�- is unsewered
residential. No changes recommenL.4- regarding zoning
or on -site septic. It could possibly be developed
as a Planned Residential District.
Area C - Currently a single family residential area
with an existing commercial kennel that has recently
been approved to connect to sewer. Area recommended
to stay as -is.
Area D - Phis is currently school and undeveloped
property with no changes recommended.
Area E - This is the far southeasterly end of the
corridor, Luce Line/Hwy. 12/Wayzata border which was
originally recommended with no changes and remain
zoned residential with on -site septic and on -site
water. During the study, the owners of the propose3
Busy Beaver Day Care Center requested to hook up to
Long Lake's City sever and water. This request was
primarily because the building is required to be
sprinkled necessitating a 500 gallon per minute
well. This would cost much more Chan hooking up to
city sewer and water. Long Lake is wi l 1 ing to serve
them but would require a MUSA line extension for
sewer. Planning Commission recommended approval of
the extension.
MINUTES OF TILE REGULAR ORONO COUNCIL MEETING HELD MARCH 30, 1987
':OMPREiIENSIVE PLAN 02
Mayor Smeby stated that at this point the City
of Long Lake needs to negotiate with Orono
regarding these services prior to submitting the
plan to Metro Council.
City Administrator Bernhardson suggested that
staff work with Long Lake staff within the next
30 days to be followed by both Council's
meeting together.
Councilmember Callahan stated that the City has
tried not to encourage individual parcels to
allow sewer & water hook-up to other
communities. He is not agreeable to allowing
hook-up because of concerns on the overall
effect on the system.
Mrs. Cici stated that their property borders
;•,ayzata/Long Lake/Orono railroad track/Hwy. 12.
She felt Long Lake would be the closest source
for sewer and water service for many years to
come. She noted that it would cost aproximately
$50,000 more for on -site systems.
Assistant Zoning Administrator Gaffron noted
that the property does have on -site septic
capability.
City Administrator. Bernhardson reviewed the areas where
change is recommended as follows:
Area 1 - Southwest corner of Old Crystal Bay.
Staff recommendation - Unsewered light
Commercial or Industrial. (Metro Council has
indicated that their policy no longer allows new
unsewered commercial/industrial areas apart from
designated rural development centers.
Therefore, a MUSA line extension would be
required if property was designated for
commercial/industrial purposes.)
Planning Commission recommendation - Unsewered
single family residential with no MUSA line
extension.
Area 2 - South of Iiwy. 12 between Old Crystal Bay
6 L^ng Lake/Orono border.
Staff recommendation - Construction of frontage
road to reduce direct Hwy. 12 access. Two
alternative frontage roads proposed.

Planning Commission recommendation -
Construction of frontage road to reduce direct
access to Hwy. 12 with no location designated.
Area 3 - Land north of Hwy. 12 between Old Crystal

Staf f recommendation - Sewer to full area
Commercial/Non-single family residential on
southern 1/3 of property. Single family sewered
on north.
Planning Commission recommendation - Same as

northern 2/3 of property.
Tom Reiersgord, attorney representing the owners
of the south half except for the west 20 acres;
and also represent the owner of the northeast
corner of Area 3. He noted that the north�.ast
corner has a high water table and should be
included in the sewered area. He would like to
see a broader range for potential development.
He felt the property was too valuable for
residential development.
Area 4 - Rebers Property
Staff recommendation - Business abutting Hwy. 12
with a frontage road & possible single family
against frontage road back to 2 acre single
family.
P`annina_ Commission recommendation - Same as
staff's not desiring to cut off Brown Road.
Inclusion of entire Rebers' property in MUSA.
No readjustment of P-1 zone until a formal
proposal submitted.
Mr. Rebers wds present and stated he would voice
his comments when his counsel is present at the
April 27th meeting. Upon request, Mr. Rebers
stated that if property is zoned 1-acre, 25
homes would be proposed; zoned 2-acre, 15 homes
proposed; and zoned 1 a:id 2-acre blend, 21 homes
proposed.
Tim Adams ncted, for the record, that there is a
great concern among the homeowners regarding
the number of cars on North Brown Road.

Joe Reis, 720 Dickey Lake Dr., asked what
"appropriate buffering" consisted of. He also
asked about the zoning of the existing two
residential lots south of Dickey Lake Dr.
City Administrator Bernhardson stated it has not
yet been defined, it would be based on the type
of development. It could be landscaping,
berming, certain distances, etc. Regarding the
two resident.Lal lots, they are proposed to stay
residential, not necessarily single-family; and
are included in the MUSA line.
City Administrator Bernhardson briefly discussed the
bike and walking paths proposed which would be
reviewed by the Park Commission.
There were no other comments from the public.
City Administrator Bernhardson stated staff would meet
with representatives from Long Lake and Medina prior to
the April 27th meeting, and Subsequently the Council's
will meet.
The Orono City Council accepted the information
regarding Comprehensive Plan Amendment and discussion to

First of all I'd like to apologize for the delay in our response to you regarding
the Comprehensive Plan Revisions that are taking place due to the upcoming
completion of the 1-394 Corridor. The Planning Commission and the City Council's
agendas have been extremely full and there simply hasn't been sufficient time
to take formal action on the plan referral. NAC serves as the planning staff for
the City of Wayzata, therefore the referral of the Comprehensive Plan revisions
to us.
Upon review of the Comprehensive Plan revisions proposal, staff has found that
the plan revisions present no maior issues or significant reason for concern
relative to the City of Wayzata's interest.

proposal offered to Orono by Long Lake regarding the following
pro-)ert ies :
-Highway 12 Corridor - North side of Highway 12 between
North Brown Road and Old Crystal Bay Road.
-Long Lake Sewer Plant Property
INTRODUCTION - At the Orono City Council meeting
of April 27,
1987, Council acknowledged
receipt of Attachment A,
City of Long
Lake's proposal requesting
annexation
of selected
properties.
This was received by City
Council and
subsequent
to that the
Orono staff did discuss the
inatter with
the Long Lake
Mayor and
City Attr-ney to determine
the issues
related to
the proposed
annexati
nISCUSSI( )uring the meeting, together with subsequent
informa following reasons for annexation were proposed:
- tligl 12 development within defined Corridor would be
inco,. _ent with Orono philosophy.
- Propert.y to be served by municipal services developed by
the City of Long Lake.
- Competition or incompatible uses in corridor impacting
downtown Long Lake redevelopment.
- Long Lake's need for more tax base in order to increase
bonding ability to do further redevelopment downtown.
Sewer Plant ProQe11y - In addition to those for Highway 12 the
annexation oroposal would include:
-Since Long Lp is both property owner and "receiver"
community, tht would be in excellent position to have
annexation granted by the Municipal Board.
-Agreement to a friendly a.inexat i on would result in less
intense development abutting particularly the Orono Oaks
development.
Thee discussions resulted in no agreement, however, gave bcth
rommunitins a bet er understanding of the others position.
At this time, the Counc i 1 has four options in re 1 3t ionsh ip to the
annexation requests:
1. Acceptance and agreement to proceed with negotiations for
"friendly" annexation.
2. Rejection of the annexation.
3. Rejection of the annexation at this time with an
indication that it is not presently i the best interest of
the City of Orono, owever, it should in at a future time be
deemed appropriate that it could then be further explored.
4. Table any action until a future meeting.
As noted in Attachments B, C, & D, numerous residents have
expressed their concern regarding the annexation of specific
properties.
RECOMMENDATION - Based on the information and considerations
developed to date, it is recommended that the Council indicate to
the City of Long Lake that a "friendly" annexation at this point
in time is not deemed in the best interest of the City of Orono
but that at a future time should such determination be
reconsidered than the matter could be explored more fully at that
time. This recommendal.ion is made so `_'nat the City can pursue
its Comprehensive plan Amendment together with working with the
'ity of L:ng Lake in negotiations as they relate to their iss•les
in the amendment itself together with dealing with services and
other items.
PROPOSED MOTION - Moved by _, seconded by , to direct staff to
L
communicate to the City of ong Lake it's appreciation for the
offer of a friendly annexation, but it is the Council's direction
at this point that annexation be rejected and that should at some
future time an annexation be deemed to by in the best interest of
the City of Orono, that it then be (-c;isid-red at that time. Ayes

citici that a portio,: of t Corridor Study Fi.vPon J, srowr .,ad and

Giver a cirrur...,,r% we wouio
. r.; :III bases of our posit {,)n:
1. Corrid • tudy Al a. As you know LW;,_ ..a,,'s I� uwU. :d dens- ,r
he yea-- hascause, is to ---nstruct, ma'r,tain end improve municipal sev. and
water se= . -. Thaw services have allowed us to develop residential, cv". rceal
ar:., industrial uses to the p ' it that r.ong akt: h,s become the business and trade
center for an area irvolvrny auout 7.0%. people.
io, on o'!,er hand, he, aiwas held a low -density development philosophy
it er to prottLt rid preserve open spaces, natural amenities and watershed.
long Lake has gr pect for his philosophy and w• %int 'o recognize Orono's
needs in that regar As a r, It of this h• st.n• rc,: r and p1. , losaphical dichotomy
we are puzzled as to your present desire to i,censify the commercial and
residential use of the corridor study area. Since we have expended t,l,e tine and
resources to dev?lcp our municipal services, and our developrrent, we believe
th.-uncurrent detachment �,-,d annexation of the above -stated portion of the
stu• tea would help Orono 'c:u perpetuate its differing philosophy and assist us
in .r•ting our tax base.
Anther important factor in our consideration is our own P.antown Redevelop-
ment Project. As you may alF,o know, Long Lake has been working very hard since
1980 to icquire our redevelopment, ;;te. tle have invested nearly two million
dollars into t,:., site. Our experts tell us that the 7,000 person trade area is
abou, all `ie business there is to gc around. We are also informed that there
are areas within the ccrrioor study area which have ,one natural and practical
advantages over our site. W, feel a strong obligation toward ourselves and our
business district. We are currently undergoing the developer selection process.
We have been careful to s;reen the applicants in order to ensure (to the extent
possible) that existing businesses will bf_ complemented rather than competed
against when our redevelopment activities are complete. Unless we control
development of that area along Highway 12 which constitutes the greatest threat
to our project ari our businesses, vie find ourselves at great economic risk.
The area of nreatest risk to is the area we are roposing for detachment and
annexation. JS:nce we uevelope; cne services neces_ ; to develop this area, we
believe that it should be ours .o develop.
2. Sewer Plant_Pr�op�. This property is also seen as vitorly irdortar
to us. Long a<e owr,ss the property and it is tax exempt. Thus, it produce: -
nothing in tax revenue to the City of Orono. Its annexation into Long Lake wou!c
allow us to dev^' esidentially a^d in keeping with the development on the
west side of !,' •d R-ad. These hones would support our business
commun,ty :-a.._-lo ,,ient pre22ct. Thev would also increase our tax base
and help sc. he school distr,,
While tnere '- ve been certain nearby Orono residents who have opposed our
annexation, of t;, ie do not perceive the present development in the
neighborh-od as in d,,, ....,y Substanda, ' or detrir ,tal .o property values.
We ask th3i you consider our pusl,ion carefu,'y and with open minds. We
plan to attend your reeting of April ?:th to discu, these issues.if y,u ;:sire.
We understand,
however, that the
-t sensiti.
for both; cities arc, we have
no desire to have
a public confront
at Cicy Hall.
It is obvious to everyone
concerned that
there have been some
emotions in the
pe:, dealing w'th your
corridor study
and we viant to ma:-- it
I that we do
not want t. ,use embarrass-
ment. If you
woul.i prefer to meet s,

Dear Ms. Goetten,
I recently read about a suggested annexion of a part of Orono west of
North Brown Road, bet!,een Hwy.12 and County Road 5, proposed by the
city council of Long Lake.
Since . moved to this country from Germany 3 112 years ago, I
considered Orono a most desirable r;�rt of Minnesota to live in.
Finally, 8 months ago, my dream turned reality when I was able to buy
a house in Orono and move there.
With growing concern I notice the efforts entertained by the city of
Long Lake, to expand their 'territory' and turn more and more of this
area into a disgustina mess, tearing dnwn everythinq in the way of
commercial development, with no apparent planning. Long Lake is, in
my opinion, a huge junk yard, whose only outstanding feature is
greed.
The beauty of townships surrounding Lake Minnetonka is represented in
*he preservation of whatever little traditional values remain.
Excelsior keeps its 'antique' ;,ouch, Wayzata is a friendly little
village with one or two goo estaurants, Orono stands out as a
unique gem, L its strict L, ng laws and building codes which make
living there a peaceful and rural expert--,nce, harmony with nature
Speming to be a yreat and wise goal which I think should be
pitrrrved.
Dear Ms. ( 'ten, I found your name in the phone book and hope that
you still ! a cc-ncilmember. If so, w)uld you please carry my
concern t- one of t,•, next sessions and help p rve the quality of
life that +e car only experienct 'lror.., ur rr,, much farther away

ISSUE - Acceptance of petitions from neighbors abutting the Long
Lake sewer plant property in Orono as it relates to:
- Municipal Storage
- Proposed Annexation of Property by Long Lake
MUNICIPAL STORAGE -
INTRODUCTION - For the past 5 to 7 years the City of Long Lake
ha, had minor storage of sand and gravel on their sewer plant
property.
This past fall because of wet conditions they stock piled
materials to be used for sealcoating in the spring at the corner
of Orono Oaks Drive and Orono Orchard Road. This to(jether with
stock piling of composting materials became an is-,ue of concern
to the neighborhood and as noted in Attach:ent 8 the neighbors
initially corresponded with the City of Long Lake directly.
As the Orono staf" berme aware of the situation it was requested
that the neignbors . ..: k through Orono and that the City cf Orono
would then work wit!'i the city )t Lor.g Lak(- on 'his matter, as it
would with any property caner.
DISCUSSION - The City has asej legal council review the
appropriatnes., of the storage in the present zoninn district. To
date the indication i- tnat the zoning ordinances are generally
not as enforceable against the m,.inicipal ity that governs as they
are against private property own�,rs. This also have some
implication a- it rf,lates to a municipality that has land in
anothc - munic:, ality. This is being explored further.
In addition 7 ity of Orc7n(-) has indicated their wil lingnpss to
store not or _urther matt_ r isls that the C1 . y of Long Lake uses,
but a.so would be willing to help move and store the current
sealcoating materials that. are stor,d on t"O property. To date
this has resulted in no final agreement on such arrangements.
t
As noted in Appendix D property owners on both the Long Lake and
Orono sides of the line have indicated their objections to this
property and are asking the City to pursue any available means
that they may have to at least diminish, if not eliminate, that
as a storage site.
It should be mentioned that should the City of Long Lake ever
have the property developed that the storage would have to be
moved anyway.
ANNEXATION
INTRODUCTION - At the Counci l's A^t i 1 27, 1987 Council meeting
the City of Long Lake formally indicated their desire to annex
portions of the Highway 12 corridor between Old Crystal Say and
Erown Road on the north side of Highway 12 together with
annexation of the old Long Lake sewer plant property.
At that time the City of Orono acknowledged the request but took
no further action on the matter.
DISCUSSION - As a result of concerns related to the possible
annexation of the property by Long Lake and the impact that may
have on their properties because of the . Dtential development of
the sewer plant property, the persons whc. abut that property have
signed a petition indicating their opposition to the annexation.
It is the City of Long Lake's position that if they would submit
a request for annexation to the Municipal '-card being both the
property owner and the receiving municipality, that they would be
in a very strong position to receive the approval despite
possible opposition from the City of Orono. :"hey have indicated
that if the City were to agree to a friendly ann-xatior,. regardin-,
t',is matter that they may have some impact as to the intensity of
that development. The Orono staff has indicated that there are
two seperate issues regarding this.
a. The intensity of development and compatability of
,`-it develc ent with surrounding development.
b. The annexation of the property by Long Lake for tav
base purposeF.
The Orono staff n a s reque:te(i that Long Lake indicate t►,e
intensity of development tha'_ they ire looking at and suggested
that possible development in line with the existing standards may
actually net a profit greater than that from a more intense
usage.
RECOMMENDATION - It is recommended that the Council accept both
pet111or. srom the residents as they relate to annexation and
mun:_ipal storage and that the Council take these into
cons.deration when Iecing any requests from the City of Long
Lake regarding annexation.
Additionally it is recomm dcd that staff continue to pursue
remedies to rectify the problcm regarding the storage on the Long
Lake sewer plant property.

ZONING ADMINISTRATOR'S REPORT:
COMPREHENE T''T? PLAN # 2 - HIGHWAY 12
City Administrator Bernhardson explained that at the
March 30th Council rreetinq, Council reviewed all the
areas within the corridor rega,:dinq the proposed changes
in the comprehensive plan amendment except fcr the Sid
Reber's property (Area W. Present at thi•: meeting are
Sid Rebers, his attorney Steve Pflauin, and his engineer
Ted Kemna. Secondly, there may be persons present who
want to further discuss the inclusion of the northeast
corner of Area r3 within the Metropolitan ')rban Ser,�,ice
Area (MUSA) Line cn d(--velopement issues of feasibility
and economics. 'Tnirdly, subsequent to the last meeting
staff met with Long Lake's Mayor and City Attorney to
begin discussions related to sewer, water, streets, etc.
Long Lake has indicated that they would be desirous of
annexing certain property within the corridor, which
staff inf )rmed them that it should be formally
requested. In addition to annexing of property within
the corridor, I,onq Take has indicated they would like to

annex the sewer plant property and also some property
f:c=t old Crystal Bay across the Rebers property and
Fos;:uly including some of Ringerswood. Finally,
in::rr.,ation regarding the Highway 12 Task Force meeting
has :,een submitted in which the construction proposal
has :hanged to incorporate reconstruction between Cokato
a;-.: Y ontrose. Due to the annexation request, staff
Ze,'=:mends tabling further consideration until at least
Y. ay 11, 1987 Ccc:rcil meeting following presentation
o;. - - e issues outlined.
Area 4 - Rebers Property - Mr. Pflaum noted that
arcel 4 is the Rebers property excluding a I acre
portion owned by Bill Wear. Rebers is in favor of
retention of the general zoning of cc-T,�!rcial zoning
of property abutting Hwy. 12 and _.)nverting to
residential north of the commercial and some kind of
reallignment of the road. They recommend that the
entire parcel b, included in the MUSA line because
the soil conditions and City code would dictate use
of mound systems in an area that is currently
:yea-rily wooded therefore would require a significant
removal of trees and draw an extensive amount of
land to prov:.de the primary and alternate sites.
"tey would l i'ce some compromise on the 1 and 2 acre
,..1nimum lot slze requirement i.e. lots not more than
2 acre but not less than 1 acre.
Armand Brachman, 1990 W. Farm Road, noted the
petition submitted from residents in the vicinity of
Brown Road North requesting the Counc41 to maintain
and promote the two acre ordinance when considering
residential development of Parcel 4. They are
opposed to any MUSA line even •t : on for the
residential area, noting that s�I: tests that
Rebers is relying upon were donte in 1970 therefore
questionable.
Tire Adams, 1810 W. Farm Road, speaking as a resident
who is in favor of 2 acre rural minimum, as a
developer who developed a portion of Orono property,
and as a farmer Councilmember, stated moving a MUSA
line is an issue not to be treated lightly and
should not be decided upon 17 year old soil borings.
He noted that his development consisted of a
combination of septic systems, all of which are
functional anci no alternate sites have hid to be
utilized.
George Jor so:i, 879 14. Brown Roao, stated his
concern c• its the traffic or Nc,rth Frown road and
felt. they-c, ;:cye many j,(-, rihlities to solvinq that
problem.
OF ? ' PMULAR ORONO COUNCIL MEETING HELD AYKii. ai, ,,„.
B PLAb V, CONTINUED
Maria Robbins, 900 N. Brown Road, noted that the
petition signers and Ringerswood residents were
against a connection road between Cardinal Ridge and
Ringerswood. They are in favor of on -site septic
and even if sewer and water were appr-,ved, they
would like the 2 acre density main-. -,
City Administrator Bernhardson stated tt,-It the tina1
recommendation deleted the connection road between
Cardinal Ridge and Ringerswood.
Northeast Corner Area - Tom Reiersgord, attorney
representing the owners of the most of the south
half stated they would like- re -consideration of a
MUSA line extension to that property.
Annexation Request - Mayor Smeby of Long Lake and
Long Lake City Attorney Arlo Vande Vegte were
present. iyor Smeby stated that Long Lake would
like som 1 in the water & sewer issues.
Mr. Vande Vegte stated Long Lake has some very
important vested interests to protect. He stated
that unless they control development of the area
along Hwy. 12 which constiti •Av the greatest threat
to Long Lakes' businesses they may find themselves
at great ecor.oUnic risk. Since Long Lake has
developed the services - ecessary to develop that
area, they believe that it should be Long Lake's to
develop. Regarding the sewer plant property which
is owned by Long Lake, annexation into Long Lake
would allow them to develop it residentially in
which the homes would support their business
community in addition to increasing their tax base
and 1 alp s,ipport the school district.
Mayor Grabek explained the intent of the study to
determine the best development plan with regard to
maintaining the rural character noting the intent
was not to compete with Long Lake.
In response to Councilmember Goetten's question, Mr.
Vande Vegte stated tha* they have not talked to any
of the adjacent property owners about the proposed
anne.._ ticn.
Curtis Quac:y, Crystal Day, stated he is against any
annexation cf the sewer plant property because of
the hilt ry behiml originally local -iq the sewer

Rcbert Martinson was present for this matter.
C,ty Administrator Bernhardson explained that this
matter was previously tabled so applicant could attend.
The-equest consisted of developing a previously
subdivided lot wri-lh requires a 10% area variance, 36-
1/2% width variance. The proposed house is located 250'
from the shoreline however the proposed grade -level deck
and pool are located within the average lakeshore
setback. Becaase this is a through lot variances are
required fcr t._e three accessory, structures (deck, pool,

for th, dock accessory structures because the primary
structure is across Shoreline Drive. There are no
hardcover variances requested.
City Attorney Blatz gave her legal opinion on set�ing a
time limit condition on the usa of t'-ie paddle tennis
court advising against it because previous similar
requests have been granted without the time limit
condition. She recommend setting a standard to be used
as a general standard on all such condition.,: use permit

RE: Highway 12 Corridor; Long Lake Sewer- Plant Propertv
Dear Mark:
JUN 2 7 88T
In follow-up to our meeting of May 14, 1987, I am writing this letter to
further explain and define Long Lake's position relative to the detachment and
annexation proposals currently before our respective cities.
Yo1i had -sked some questions during the meeting and I first want to answer
those. You asked what our position vould be if Orono simply tabled its
comprehensive plan for some period of time. In answer to this Long Lake would
simply proceed as we are.
Yo. .,sked if Long Lake would sell the sewer plant property to Orono.
We muFt 4 r.j as the issue is not simply money. It also involves tax base
and support ,,, our downtown redevelopment.
We discussed Long Lake's need for annexation of land as previously proposed.
We indicated that in addition to previously discussed needs we also need this
presently undeveloped land to support future redevelopment on the lakeward side
of highway 12 in the downtown area.
To -date Lone Lake's Downtown Redevelopment and Tax Increment Finance District
has a total of )1,235,000.00 in General Obligal.ic "lx ?ncrement advance Refunded
bonds outstanding against it. lie are Searing up to sell an additional $355,000.00
in bonds to complete the necessary acquisitions, relocation and demolitions for
the existing redevelopment project site. This will bring the tc`al bonded
iride ctedness against the district to $1,590.000.00. I am herewith enclosing a
copy of a financial analysis for the proposed bonus recently done by Juran and
^dy, our bond underwriter. While it appears there will he a cumulative cash
�is f',roughout the l if; of these bonds, we are advised b StevE 'attsor of
any k,ody that the residu= l bonding , )wer of the TIF &, ,tr, at today's
and given th,2 assumptions ccntained in the anal-sis. is S21 .00 at
'this number may change some due to market fluctuatiors and v _'.ions in
tax increrle►1t revenues, but basically our TIF district i! now f;.11y bonded except
to the extent that this $200,000 residuum exists.
The impact of all this is that we have little or no bonding power left in
our redevelopment/TIF district. Thus, our ability to expand the redevelopment
district to the lakeward yids of Highway 12 is restricted. Creating a new TIF
Act out of our exist=ng jurisdiction will do us little or no good as the
-cc of the tr is es--,itially developed and so there would be minimal tax
i. ement to cap. .. We esi.imate the acqusition cost of the lakeward block
directly acrosb Hi:;sway It frym the �Yisting rAevelopment site to be $2,GC 300
to $2,500,000. 1'a service thit ki debt we will need increment from land in
a newly created district which co. substantial amounts of undeveloped land.
While we realize teat this is our va and not yours, we would also point to
the rt:.sons we have previously ',five to our desire to take
additional lanJ into Long Lake. ►�Jher. factors Ire considered, as a
whole, we are convinced that our r^_,.iu(. c 3rrect course of action for
both cities.
We also discussed ideas about a quid pro quo for allowing t`ie requested
procedure to occur. Several ideas concerning Transferring and sharing of
facilities acid assets were discussed together with possible renegotiation of
joint powers contracts. Long Lake stands ready to d-;scuss Viese and all ideas
with an open mind in hopes that an agreement can be ironed of it is beneficial
and fai to both municipalities. This includes the poss',oil: if buffering the
sewer p nt property from adjoining Orono residents.
I mope that this information will be of some help. I will close by saying
that wo are not trying to be greedy or nefarious. We only want to prote; our
own interests and to ensure a redevelopment of our downtown are in which all
people in our area will take pride. Thank you and best regards.

SUBJECT: Forest Arms Purchase Agreement - Proposal Modification'04-\
Attachment A. Forest Arms/City of Orono Agreements Dated
3/21/83 and 2/2/84
B. Forest Arms Letter Dated 5/15/87
C. Proposed Contract Language Amendment
ISSUE - Modification of agreement to allow for reduction in semi-
annual payments by the pro-rata share of any pre -payments.
INTRODUCTION - In 1983 the Forest Arms Homeowner's Association
and the City of Orono agreed to terms to allow for the purchase
of the property used by the residents for dockage in that
subdivision for. $100,000.00. It was agreed that this would be
purchased over a fifteen year period in quarterly installments.
The agreement also provided that any time any of the lots were
sold that they would have to pre -pay the amount of the property's
outstanding shale of the agreement.
The agreement did not however provide for any reduction in the
quarterly amount to be paid by the Homeowner's Association by the
amount of any pre -payments. For example if half of the lots were
sol,_ before the contract would be paid off the owners who were
left s part of the Association would have to increase their
share of the cost in order to make the equal payments thereby
speeding ut) the amount of time in which the pay-off would occur
by doubli the amount each indivi-lual would have to pay.
DISCUSSTON Tn reviewing the matter in response to Attachment B
it does n-, _ seem to be the intent of the agreement to speed up
the payment by not al lowing f or 3 pro-rata r,-duct ion in the
annual cost based on prepayments. if reduced those who do remain
as owners still contrihut-, equal shares regardless of pre-
p3ymPnts or not.
RECOMMENDATION - It is recommended that the language of the
a3_deri_du_M_1n littachment C be adopted to allow for pro- rata share
reduction of the quarterly amount by any pre -payments in order
that the share paid by each of the remaining property owners is
equal to their original payments.
PROPOSED MOTION - Moved by , seconded by , that the Counci 1
adopt Attachment C as an 7ncorporition-Tnto the purchase
agreement between the Forest Arms HomPowner'e Association and the
City of Orono dated --__ Ayes Nays

Dear Sir:
This is an official request to participate in an internship that would
!)e sponsored by your police department. I am a student at the University
of Minnesota and would receive 12 credits for this internship. The
internship would require my working 360 hours, and would focus on three
main areas: (1) communications, (2) patrol experience, and (3) admin-
istration.
I am presently a Community Service Officer, as well as a Reserve
Officer for the Orono Police Department. I feel that I have acted
responsibly and therefore I feel I would be an asset to the department.
I hope that I will be given the opportunity to serve in this way.
Thank you for your consideration of this matter. I look forward to
hearing from you.
Sincere 7

Subject: Employment of Temporary Full -Time Assistant for
Septic and Zoning Departments
In 1986, the City hired a temporary full-time employee to assist with
the City's on -site septic inspection program for a period of 11 weeks
during the summer months. The program proved to be most successful
providing inspections of 50% of th,-� existing systems within the City.
This year we are fortunate to have selected a candidate with a degree
in soils science (December 1986) with additional credits in land use
studies. Mary Jo Knott's training will allow her to not only assist staff
with the on -site septic inspections but to participate in the preparation
of studies, report writing and land use applications for both Planning
Commission and Council agendas.
Staff would recommend that Ms. Knott be hired as a temporary full-time
employee not to exceed 120 days of employment with the City. Her job will
earn no other benefits than a salary - recommended at $7.00 an hour
($280.00 weekly). The City will be responsible for contributing 1.45% of
her total wages to Medicare.
Total wages $4,200.00 (15 weeks x $280.00)

The Following comments relating to your 1986 audit are provided to assist you
with the financial planning for your City and continued improvement of your
accounting records.
Change in Accounting for Special Assessment Funds
In prior years, special assessments w_rr _counted for in Special
Assessment Funds. Following a change recommended by the Governmental
Accounting Standards Board (GASB), these funds were converted by the City
to Capital Project Funds and Debt Service Funds. The bond debt previously
reported in the Special Assc ment Funds is now accoui.ted for in the
General Long -Term Debt Acccj..c Group. Special assessments are recorded as
revenue when received instea, of when cer_ified.
Because of their na`ure, special assu-ssmer, s and Led debt have always
been diff.cult to present the tinancial stateme.,Ls. As in the past, we
believe that periodic e-._ is is necessary in order to determine the
financial stability of funds. Such analysis is particularly impor-
tant for the 1985 Improvement Bond. because of t.ie large reduction of
sp; r.ial assessments dedicated to debt service and because of the related
cost of appeals, it will be necessary to determine general property tax
levies or other financing sources in both the 1985 Improvement Debt
Service and Capital Projer' inds.
Deferred Compensation Ag.:ncy F nds
The City's employees are allow-d to participate in deferred compensation
plans. The contributions to Vise i ins are held by a truster and should
r-t be considered available as •ets the City. The IRS provision which
. ..;.rs these plans requires these k _eta to be sub;ect to claim bJ credi-
tors of the City (incl, ing port.iri j '.ing employees) in the case of
insolvenc,-. Even thojr4n the i., )baL; -y of tnis event occurring may be
remote, the C:)vernmental AccoL;rting ndards Board Statement No. 2
requi rps tr.: i ty to reflect the ple 1. assets and related liability tc.
employeer in an Agency Fund on you► 'financial statements.
To the City Council
June 10, 1987
Comparative Financial Information
As described previously, in 1986 the City adopted significant changes in
accounting principles as prescribed by the Governmental Accounting
Standards Board. Comparative financial data for 1985 was not included in
your report because of the various differences affecting comparative pre-
sentation. It is intended that future financial statements will include
comparative information.
Fixed Assets
The automated fixed asset records have not been updated for 1986 activity,
because the City intends to evaluate its fixed asset accounting system to
determine if it meets the City's needs. The City should consider per-
forming a physical inventory of its yroperty and equipment to ensure the
accuracy of the asset records.
GFOA Award Certification
The Governmental Finance Officers' Association (GFOA` maintains an award
program for outstanding financial statement present, 9. The award
referred to as "Certificate of Achievement for Exce:_.nce in Financial
Reporting" is a national program which is highly recognized by the govern-
meiotal sector, the accounting profession, and related associates such as
bend consultants and financial advisors. The benefits to such an award
are difficult to specify, yet we consider them to include city pri'
(citizen, council, and staff), recognition of quality performance J the
creation of a historical comprehensive financial document.
To participate in the program, the City would need to submit a
Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR). This report consists of
your audit repert, a letter of trans, ittal by the City's Finance
Depa-_ment (discussing the report, financial position, future plans,
etc.), and several statistical tables as recommended by the program. We
believe that based on the quality of your financial records and resulting
financial statements, a certificate could be obtained. Some additional
effort would be required to complete the CAFk, which we feel would be well
worth the benefits. If the City is interested in this program, we would
euy94w&t submitting for the year ended December 31, 1987, and begin accumu-
lating the required table information during the current year.
Graphic Information
Microcomputers are utilit.j extensively while performing audits of City
records. A beneficial res.:t is that certain trend analysis and anal;ti-
cal relationship information can be obtained. The following pages contain
certain generalized graphs produced from our electronic workpapers which
we considered may be of interest to you. Some of this information does
appear in the various schedules of the City's financial statements while
somr information is from ether suucces which may not have Dean subject to
our audit procedures.

$80,000 balance on the Contract at December 31, 1986, is shown as
deferred revenue in the General Fund, until collected and available
to finance current operations. The receivable reflects total

roll in 1985 which included $46,175 relating to improvements on
City owned property. The General Fund will pay these assessments

Note 98 Retirement Plans
Substantially all City employees are covered by a statewide contribu-
tory retirement plan operated by the Public Employees' Retirement
Association (PERA). The City records pension expense as the contribu-
tions come due. Contributions for 1986 were $87,120. Contribution
rates are determined cn a statewide basis and include provisions for
prior service costs. The assets of the State of Minnesota PERA Fund
were substantially less than the actuarially computed value of vested
benefits as of the most recent valuation date. That part of the defi-
ciency attributable to the City is not determinable.
The City offers its employees deferred compensation plans created in
accordance with Internal Revenue Code Section 457. The plans, avail-
able to all City employees, permit them to defer a portion of their
salary until future years. The deferred compensation is not available
to employees until termination, retirement, death, or unforeseeable
emergency.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - Continued
December 31, 1986
Note 9: Retirement Plans - Continued
All amounts of compensation deferred under the plans, all property and
rights purchased with those amounts, and all income attributable to
those amounts, property, or rights are (until paid or made available
to the employee or other beneficiary) solely the property and rights
of the City (without being restricted to the provisions of benefits
under the plans), subject only to the claims of the City's general
creditors. Participants' rights under the plans are equal to those of
general creditors of the City in an amount equal to the fair market
value of the deferred account for each participant.
Assets of the plans are held by trustees and are reflected in these
statements in Agency Funds at market value.
Note 10: Contin2encies
A. In 1985, the Crystal Bay Area Sewer Project Assessment was adopted
at $9,235 per parcel unit. Approximately 69 parcels, representing
81 parcel units, appealed the assessment. In August 1986, 66 par-
cels, representing 67 parcel units, were reduced by Court ap-
pointed arbitrators from $9,235 to $5,500 per parcel unit. The
City has revised the assessment rolls or issued refunds, as appro-
priate. As a result of the decrease in future revenue from spe-
cial assessments, the City has levied $40,000 in taxes to aid in
payment of the debt redemption due in 1987. The City will levy as
needed to fund the future assessment shortage.
On June 1, 1987, another Crystal Bay Sewer Appeal was settled.
The settlement calls foz a reduction in the special assessment for
sewer improvements from $36,940 to $13,500. The December 31,
1986, financial statements reflect the effects of this sett.lemer: .
AF.peals on assessments of $92, 350 hav• not yet been settled.
B. Two claims have been filed against the City. The City's insurer
has accepted defens-t of these claims. The outcome of each case is
unknown. It is not determinable at this time -hether unfavorable
settlements of the claims will exceed insurance coverage. City
management believes that the City will not incur any monetary loss
relatiny to the cases. No loss has been recorded on the City's
financial statements relating to the claims.

Note 11: Significant Changes in Accounting methods
A. In 1986, the City changed its method of accounting for special
assessment revenues and related debt. Pursuant to the require-
ments of Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 6
(GASB #6), the City eliminated its use of Special Assessment Funds
effective January 1, 1986. Prior to that date, the City
recognized assessment revenue when new rolls were adopted, and
reflected the related long-term debt as a liability, all in the
Special Assessment Funds. On January 1, the assets of these funds
(principally delinquent and deferred special assessments
receivable) were reclassified to Debt Service Funds. Revenues
from deferred and delinquent assessments and delinquent taxes
receivable were then deferred until such time as they become both
measurable and available to finance construction or related debt.
The long-term debt liability was reclassified as a liability of
the General Long -Term Debt Group of Accounts.

Note 1) The levies for these issues are the general obligation ad valorem levies
which are in addition to the amounts levied in the special assessment
rolls. Ad valorem levies are placed (as required by law) at 105% of debt
service requirements.
Note 2) The City canceled the collectible 1987 tax levies totaling $49,200 scheduled
to finance the retirement of Special Assessment Bonds from 1971 and 1980
issues. The City may cancel future ad valorem levies if the respective Debt
Service Funds have sufficient sources to pay future debt requirements.
Note 3) The city levied M',000 for the 1485 Improvement Bonds due to the assessment
appeals and subsequent reductions of deferred assessments. The City may levy
future• ad valorem taxes if the special assessments do not generate sufficient
sc.urce,-, to pay tuture debt requirements.

Minnesota, for the year ended December 31, 198b, and have issued our report
thereon dated June 1, 1987. As a part of our examination, we made a study and
evaluation of the City's system of internal accounting control to the extent we
.. consiJered necessary to evaluate the system as required by generally accepted
auditing standards and the standards for financial and compliance audits con-
tained in they V.S. General Accounting office's Stdnderds for Audit of
Governmental Organizaticns, Programs, Activities, and Functions. For the pur-
poce of this report. we have classified the significant internal accounting
controls in the f lowing categories:
+d Cash receipts; reve11LIe
Cash disbursements;expend2ture
Payroll
r External financial rel.ortiny
Our study included all of the control categories list-1 above. The purpose of
_ our study and evaluation was to determine the nature, tir ag, and extent of per-
fo-ming the auditing procedures necessary for expressing n opinion on the
entity's financial statements. Uur study and evaluation was sore limited than
would be necessary to express an opinion r the systerr if internal accounting
control taken as a whole or on any of the t-.t_gories of controls identified
above.
The management of the city is responsible for establishing a d maintaining a
system of internal accounting control. In fulftlliny this responsibility, esti-
mate- end judgments bl management are required to assess the expected benefits
and re.ated costs of , ,'rol procedures. The objectives of a system are to pro-
vide management wit.t r...onable, but not absolute, assurance that assetf are
safeguarded against lusv from unauthorized use k disposition, and that transac-
tions are executed in accordance with management's authorization aid recorded
.. properly to petmit the preparatiun of financial ytattments in accordance with
generally accepted accuuntirnl principles. Because of innerent limitations in
any system of internal accounting runtr..�!, errurs or irregularities -ray
nevertheless occur etid not be detected. Also, projection of any evaluation, of
the gstew to future periods is subject to the risk that procedures may becoaw
inaloq u+tt because of changes in conditions or that tht degree of compliance
with the 1,• daureu may deteriorate.

i our study and evaluation made for the limited purpose uescribed in the first
paragraph would not necessarily disclose all material weaknesses in the system.
Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the system of internal accounting
control of the City taken as a whole. However, our study and evalt ` )n
disclosed that because of the limited size of your office staff, .>rganiza-
tion has limited segregation of duties. A good system of �.nternal e-coun,,ing
control contemplates an adequate segregation of duties so that no one individual
handles a transaction from inception to completion. While we recognize that
your business office is not large enough to permit an adequate segregatio': of
duties in all respects, it is important, however, that you be aware of this
condition.
The foregoing conditions were considered in determining the nature, timing, and
extent of audit tests to be applied in our examination of the 1986 financial
statements, and this report does not modify out report on such financial
statements dated June 1, 1967.
This report is inten� sc.. for the use of the City Council and ,management,
the cognizant audit aycncy, and other federal agencies and should not be used
for any other purpose. This restriction is not intended to limit the distribu-
tion of this report whicL, upon acceptance by the City Council, is a matter of
public record.

generally accepted auditing standards, the stan,,,ds for financial and

Our study included all of the applicable control categories listed previously.
During the year ended December 31, 1986t the City had no major federal financial
assistance programs and expended 80% of its total federal financial assistance
under the following nonmajor fxdera' financial assistance program:
e Community Development Block Grant
With respect to internal control systems used in administering this nonmajor
federal financial assistance program, our study and evaluation included con-
sidering the types of errors and irregularities that could occur, determining
the internal control procedures that should prevent or detect such errors and
irregularities, determining whether the necessary procedures are prescribed and
a .1 being followed satisfactorily, and evaluating any weaknesses.
respect to the internal control systems used solely in administering the
c nonmajor federal financial assistance programs of the City, our study and
ovaluation was limited to a preliminary review of the systems to obtain an
understanding of the control environment and the flow of transactions through
the accounting slvte..., Our study and evaluation of the internal control syc*ems
used solely in administering the nonmajor federal financial assistance programs
of the City did not extend beyond this preliminary review phase.
Our study and evaluation was more limited than would be necessary to express an
opinion on the internal control systems used in administering the federal finan-
cial assistance programs of the City. Accordingly, w- do not express an opinion
on the internal control systems used in administerins he federal financial
assistance programs of the City.
Also, our examination, made in accordance with the standards mentioned above,
would not necessarily disclose material weaknesses in thr internal control
systems, for which our study and evaluation was limited n, a preliminary review
of the system as discussed in the sixth paragraph of this report.
However, our study and evaluation and our examination disclosed the following
conditions that we believe result in more than a relatively low risk that errors
or irregularities in amounts that would be material to a federal financial
assistance program fray occur and not be detected within a timely period.
Because of the limiter size of your office staff, your organization has limit^
segregation of d•ities. A goal system of internal accounting control con-
templates an adequate segregation of duties so that no one individual handles a
transactioi, from inc.q �tion to cumylet:on. While we recojnize that your urgani-
zation is not laryu enough to 1mrmlt an adequate segregation of dut..; in all
respects, it is cnportaut, howuvvi, that you b,: aware of this condi.i .
'Ruse condition. were cunudered in determining the nature, timing, and extent
of the audit test. to be applied in (1) our examination of the Ivb6 General

City's compliance with law and rwyuthou noncompliance with which we _olieve
could have a metvrtal effect on the aliowabillty of pruyram expenditures for

SUBJECT: 1985 Uniform Code Adoption
Attachments A. Jacobs' Memo Dated 6/18/87
B. Proposed Ordinance Amendment to Chapter 12
C. Chapter 38 UBC
ISSUE - Adoption of the Minnesota Sate Building Code which
ncorporates the 1985 Uniform Building Code (UBC) to update the
1982 UBC.
INTRODUCTION - The UBC is modified every 3 years. Once modified
the State then reviews it and adopts it as the Minnesota State
Building Code, generally 1-2 years after the UBC is issued.
The Minnesota State Building Code is essentially a minimum and
maximum code with a few options that a community itself can
select, although this adoption addresses only one change in the
optional items. While required to be enforced in the Metro area,
because of the optional items and for local usage of the Code, it
needs to be adopted by each community.
DISCUSSION - Attachment A outlines the significant changes
between the 1982 and 1985 UBC's. While the 1985 UBC does have a
significant increase in the fee schedule, this portion is not
required to be adopted and the City has stayed with the 1982
schedule. (in 1989 as part of the fee ordinance this may be
reviewed for a possible inrreasc but not to the full extent of
the 1985 Code.) The only substantial change is inclusion of
optional Chapter 38 on pipe inlets.
RECOMMENDATION - As all changes noted are required as part of the
u-pT [e with the exception of option Chapter 38 but no other
changes from the previous adoption in 1985, it is recommended
that the Council adopt the ordinance a,nendnent as set forth.

Dates June 18, 1987
SuDjeots Changes From 1982 Uniform Building Code to 1985 Uniform Building
Code Which Affects the City of Orono
The following are significant changes in the Building Code:
1. UBC 204 - Specifies that Board of Appeal Members not be employees of
the jurisdiction.
This may affect the Board of Appeals (Building Code), as the Mound Fire
Marshall, Jerry Babb, and Planning Commission Member, Jim Hanson, have
served on this Board in the past.
2. UBC 401 a 911 - Hazardous Production Materials, HPM. This is a new
section in the Code to regulate hazardous production material.
This section will provide more controls on hazardous materials used
directly in research, laboratory or production processes which result in an
end product which is not hazardous.
3. UBC 503 (a) - Exceptions have been added to the first paragraph of
Section 503 (a) to allow for the need to have accessory uses or occupancies
without a separation from the primary occupancy.
Examples: Gift shops, administrative offices, similar rooms in hotels,
administrative offices and clerical offices not related to hazardous
ocupancies, kitchens serving the dining areas as an accessory use.
4. UBC 509 - Pedestrian walkways is a new section which defines the
covered walkway areas between buildings. This has been a gray area in the
Code.
The City in the past has run into this gray area at Spring Hill Conference
Center which caused many concerns which are now covered by the Code.
5. UBC Table 5 B - Changes the occupancy separation between B-1 (under-
ground parking) occupancies and E-1 (education) from 4 hour to 3 hour.
Thi< is a major change which wi 11 lower the cost of construction. I do not
feel this will affect the City at this time, but may in the future.
6. UBC 702 - This changes the garage ceiling height from 7' to 716", which
is 6' higher than in the past.
This has been a problem as frost heave has actually trapped vans in garaces
until spring or air has had to be released to remcve the van.
UBC 1985
June 18, 1987
Page 2 of 2
7. UBC 3306 - This has changed `he rise in stairs to 7" (existing code
allowed 74"), and the tread to minimum 11" (existing code only allowed
10"), in commercial construction.
S. UBC 3306 (j) - Requires that stair width minimum be enlarged to 36"
instead of 30" on private dwellings.
Both No. 7 6 8 changes will affect all new stairways in single family
dwellings.

Purposes
Attachment A. 1987 Liquor Store Performance Incentive Report
ISSUE ^eotance of information regarding the 1987 Financial
Operat port.
INTRODUCTION - Attachment A represents the preliminary financial
report he liquor store operation to be used as the basis for
the employees incentive payments.
DISCUSSION - This tentative report is submitted at this time and
on all intents and purposes will in most aspects be similar to
the final report. This preliminary report is the basis for which
the bonuses for the liquor store employees will be used and does
include all current charges assessable to the operation for the
first five months. Any changes between this preliminary report
and the final report will be related to charges which are not
actually related to the five month operation in 1987, but related
to either earlier years or due the fact of the sale.
As noted the operation did exceed the benchmarks of a projected
loss of $4,500 by 5559 therefore as noted in the following memo
the employees w 11 be entitled to the bonus. In addition to
exceeding the gross profit figures the inventory was reduced from
$86,450 at the beginning of the year down to S51,200 by the final
turnover inventory.
The City has determined from inventory the final price for the
sLcr- and has rebated to the purchaser 56,500 together with the
final ;otter of credit that will conclude all items related to

ISSUE -Confirming the City Administrator's termination notices
to the liquor store employees following the close of the liquor
store operation.
DISCUSSION - In accordance with the Personnel Rules the Council
must confirm the termination notices transmitted to the liquor
store employees in conjunction with the close of the liquor
store. It should be noted that all employees were terminated
effective the day after the close of the liquor store when
inventory was taken except for the Manager Lorraine McGowan. She
was initially retained as an employee for two weeks to close out
the inventory and financial statements which were done in a
timely manner. At her request, because of P.E.R.A.
considerations the City extended the termination until June 38,
but the time between the original termination date of June 13 3nd
the final termination date of June 30 she utilized vacation she
had previously accrued. This was done for her convenience and
was of little consequence to the City's actual operation.

ISSUE - Adoption of resolution to establish a road and bridge
construction, maintenance and repair account.
INTRODUCTION - The City has need of a funding source for those
street and Fridge construction, maintenance and repair projects
not included in the Municipal State Aid (MSA) system and not
covered by the normal street department budget.
DISCUSSION - It is our understanding that the investment interest
ro—mTMunicipal State Aid (MSA) Construction Fund is not
required to be credited to that fund and is therefore available
for other uses. The City has earned a significant amount of
interest income over the past several years due to the timing of
ME" construction project payments vs revenues received from the
E .e and from bond proceeds, and due to the very high investment
inLerest rates during that time. we feel the interest should be
transferred to a seperate account within the PIR Fund, to be
available for street/bridge projects other than those covered by
Municipal State Aid. The intent is that the amount transferred
will be accounted for seperately from other PIR funds will be
fully invested and the interest earned will also be accounted for
seperately from other PIR funds. The initial transfer of
$100,606.36 is the amount of cash and interest receivable
available as of 12/31/86. The interest earned thus far in 1961
will also be transferred and the future interest will be credited
directly to the PIR road/bridge account monthly.

SUEJECTr Administrator's Information
DRUG ENFORCEMENT FOLLOW UP - The drug enforcement program
undertaken by the Orono Po1Tce department, while still in its
early stages, has resulted in the public providing the Police
department with information which had previously not been given
together with the Officers showing a marked increase in charges a
part of which are drug related. Additionally the Police Chief
has been doing the educational programs with employees in the on -
sale restaurant licensees in Spring Park. 'These have been well
received and the Police department will be continuing with this
program throughout the summer.
SOUTH BROWN ROAD - The City had received - request several months
ago regarding improvements to South Brown Road. The City has run
radar in the area which does not show excessive speeds. The City
had asked the County for signs indicating that "cross traffic
does not stop". The County had indicated that they did not feel
the warrants were met for this. The City has also been looking
to improve site lines in the northwest quadrant. This is
principably because of NSP pole locations and these are difficult
to change. At this point staff does not feel that a 4 way stop
would be appropriate at this location.
PRIVATE ROAD - NORTH FFRNDALE - At the last meeting the residents
were concerned about status of the private road on North
Ferndale. Attached please find a letter that was sent early last
summer to Paul Parker who was working on the situation outlining
the City's concerns. Some changes have been made including
improvement of the road that existed last summer. The City is
presently exploring ways to encourage a Homeowner's Association
to be formed on that road and is attempting to get into contact
again with Mr. Parker and other on the road to see what issues
they would have in relationship to the Association.
288 HOLLANDER ROAL_ - The City has been working with the estate
anohn (IT—JoTTende[ in attempts to remove the hazardous buildings.
The fire department of Wayzata was ready to burn the buildings
during the last several weekends, however conditions were not
right to burn. Because of some issues that were raised late last
week the proposed burn on the garage and small 13st Saturday had
to be cancelled, but will be rescheduled in the near future.
John Hollander, however is seeking to gain historical building
status for the large barn and has had the Judge who issued the
initial hazardous building order hold ghat in abeyance until he
can have hearing in front of him on .tune 21, 1947. The City wi i 1
he attempting to resolve this matter in the near term.
3965 SIXTH AVENUE NORTH - The City had received a request by the
home owner t at the C ty's position of any further action be
delayed until June 16, 1M7. No progress was made and the City
will be filing with the Court to obtain a date on that matter.

Subject: "Lydiard Lane" Improvement
Dear Mr. Parker,
In response to your request regarding the private road
currently designated as Lydiard Lane the following information is
provided regarding any improvements to the road.
1. The City has for a number of years had standards that it
has required private roads to meet as to right-of-way width,
cul-de-sacs, and permanent surface. These are generally
utilized in conjunction with a subdivision in a new area.
These standards have been used administratively for a number
of years and in 1984 they were incorporated into subdivision
regulations. It is obviously the City's desire that any
improvement to the private road in that area meet these
standards taking into account the number of persons served by
the road, availability of off street parking, length of road,
needed width for emergency vehicle operation, etc. while the
area you currently live in has been pretty well subdivided,
future subdivisions may require that the private road be
brought up to standards before these further subdivisions
can be done. Realizing that this road has developed through
the granting of private access easements over a number of
years, bringing it fully up to standards may not totally be
feasible at this time, but any improvements should be done
with this in mind.
2. In our conversation of May 21, 1986 the issue of the
City's position of this becoming a public road was discussed.
The issue was raised when the Kamm subdivision --, recently
done, however after a review of the area it w. :elt that
development of this street as a public ro�a was not
appropriate at this time (and may never be appropriate).
3. with the present development and the intent in the
neighborhood to upgrade the road it may be appropriate to

correct *various private easements and cross easements" so
that everybody who is ,a resident can appropriately utilize
the roadway together with perhaps having it come under a
neighborhood association in order to have appropriate
financing and maintenance of the road.
4. An additional issue not raised in discussion is the fact
that some of the branches off of "Lydiard" will be serving at
least three properties and under the private roads standards
any time it goes over two, it would be appropriate that these
be also part of the private road and be addressed in your
overall upgrade.
5. This private road has never had an official name through
the City although it has been commonly referred to as
*Lydiard Lane". Realizing how it was derived there is some
concern regarding the name as it relates particularly to
public safety concerns. As you may be aware the City also
has Lydiard Avunue and Lydiard Circle, which are located
south of the Freshwater Biological Institute in the Navarre
area. Because of an emergency response error in the calling
party saying where they live, the dispatcher putting out the
information, or the appropriate Police or Fire unit
miscopying the information, there may be some confusion as to
whether the address is on Lydiard Circle, Avenue or Lane.
The confusion between the Circle and Avenue is not a problem
since they ajoin each other. If however it was between
Avenue and Lane, Police units may start off towards Navarre
area and find out the address is not correct and reroute to
the opposite end of the City.
It is hoped that this letter addresses your initial concerns
and would recommend that you get in contact with John Gerhardson,
at 473-73:9, who will initially contact the City Engineer Glenn
Cook and order the improvements be done in an appropriate manner.
If you should have any further questions, please feel free to
contact me.

At the meeting, we will review
the status of the park, and the
'nte°
process we have established
to plan its development. I am
5iro'°V fIto
eotw
pleased to report that the 1987
Minnesota Legislature approved
the total $6 million request
to fund acquisition of the
regional park.
While the process is far From complete, and objections have
been raised to some basic aspects of the proposal, I am
optimistic that a high quality regional park cn Lake Minnetonka
will become a reality.
I appreciate your continuing interest in this project. Hope to
,ee you on June 25.

Administrative Notes
The end of the school year is upon us. On June 4th
184 seniors graduated and the Class of 1987 traded
activity and achievements for memories. We are
reluctant to watch this class of young men and women
leave. Thev have distinkuished themselves in ntanc
ways and brought honor to their school. Our be,L
wishes for all good things 1;n with the graduates •Ind
their families.
Commencement exercises rightly focus attention on the
art, uates, their successes and their futures. Grad-
uation is also or important tiros for parentK and
teachers.
Parents who helped with the new skill of printing,
who covered the refrigerator with "special papers,"
who set rules for homework and school nights, who
applauded and took pictures at the sccre of special
programs that mark thirteen years of schooling, who
were present to prate* and encourage, who Rave a
thousand little sermons on studying and working hard,
who always want.I to know "what happened In school
today'." and who -howed their love and concern in
thousands of wa.s, deserve a special thank you At
graduation time. On behalf of the School T)i3trict.
I want to thank the parents and families of our Rrad-
uates. rhofr support for their students and our
schools makes graduation possible. I hope that oath
graduate will take advantage „f this .rectal time t,•
thank those family s.rsbors and friends wh,, gave
encouragement, offered a tistel, t,prtmand and pro%iIrd
support.
Graduation is also a powerful e,•ent for te4,h,r4 A,I
adslnistrators. Commencement I•. the cltsax ,I \e it

LANGUAGE ARTS
Grade 6
The sixth grade language arts program includes English, reading and spelling.
The Orono Public School System is committed to an articulated reading program;
therefore, students are expected to have achieved mastery of grade level
reading skills before moving into a mode of instruction that does not utilize
a specific reading series. Students at or above grade level in reading skills
will be scheduled for English thoughout the year. In these classes all forms
of literature will be used to teach the students setting, plot, characterization,
theme, conflict and symbolism. Other students will be taught reading by a reading
teacher for one semester and English by another teacher for the other semester.
In the English area, formal instruction is provided in grammar. Many opportunities
are offered for application of correct grammar conventions in both oral and .rritten
compositions. Students study specific spelling word lists each week and are
expected to apply these skills in their written work.
Grade 7
Grammar, spelling, literature, composition, and speech are studied in seventh
grade English. Grammar study emphasizes usage, sentence structure, and parts
of speech with constant reinforcement of capitalization and punctuation skills.
Three different levels of spelling achievement are available to students based
upon their indicated needs. Emphasis is placed upon spelling correctly in
compositions as well as in spelling correctly on list tesrs. Individual and
group readings in novels, short stories, drama and poetry are designed to
familiarize students with a variety of literary forms and to encourage reading
for pleasure. Utilizing '.1 forms of literature, students study setting, plot,
characterization, theme, )nflict and symbolism.
Grade 8
Eighth graders read, write, study grammar, and master a spelling lesson
appropriate tc their ability level every week. As well as reading for content,
students are taught form through the study of various elements of a narrative:
setting, plot, characterization, conflict, theme, symbolism, tone. Often
students discuss their reading. in class; at other times they write analyses.
Not all writing assignments are analytical. Students have many opportunities
to express themselves in creative writings of many types.
Grammar study stresses and reinforces basic mechanics and usage skills. It
is expected that students performing at grade level know capitalization and
punctuation rules, and use subject, verb, and pronoun forms correctly.
Students performing at grade level are also expected to demonstrate knowledge
of the parts of speech. In written and oral communication the goal is to use
a variet•: of sentence structures that will enable them to convey their ideas
clearly.
SOCIAL STUDIES
Grade 6
The sixth grade social studies units trace the progress of man in ancient
civilizations from prehistoric times through the Middle Ages. The units are:
Archaeology Then and Now, Ancient ' ailizations of Egypt and Mesopotamia,
Ancient Greece, Ancient Rome, Midc Ages/Renaissance. In each unit the
student is encouraged to work to his best ability through the use of individual
study guides, maps, library research, reports, and small group interaction.
Students also develop discussion skills and reporting skills through the use
of related compositions.
Grade 7
Seventh grade social studies is the first half of a two-year continuum in
which a survey of the areas of the world are given. Seventh grade begins
with an introduction and review of basic map reading skills, such as, finding
locations by using coordinates, reading contour elevations, recognizing distor-
tion in map projections, etc. An introduction to climate types and their
I
mpact upon man's life is also given.
These skills and knowledge are then used to study the United States, Canada,
Latin America, Europe, Australia, New Zealand, Oceania, and the Polar regions.
In each of these areas, knowledge of basic Place names and location is
utilized as a framework for meaningful studv. Knowledge of the interrelation-
ships of basic physical, social and economic realities is then developed.
This is accomplished through use of the textbook visual aids, and numerous
supplementary sources using various .individual and group activities.
Grade 8
The eighth grade social studies program emphasizes the non. -western world
cultural areas and also world current affairs. The areas studied during the
year are Africa, the Middle East, the Indian Subcontinent, China, Southeast
Asia, Japan and the Soviet Union. Naturally world affairs often dictate
the area chosen for study at a particular time.
Eighth Grade begins with the study of a primitive culture as a model for
discovering the basic structure of all cultures. This structure is then
used to analyze the more complex cultures studied in the remainder of the
near. Each area study then includes basic historical, geographical, social,
economic and political knowledge. Our basic text is the Scholastic World
Cultures Program series which has a separate booklet for each area studied.
However, other texts, current news, and audiovisual sources are also heavily
used in a variety of activities designed to stimulate the interest and
learning of the students.
MATHEIMATICS
In mathematics students are placed in a group in which he or i4 able to
function and comprehend the materials being taught. Students placed '.n
a level as determined by tests, past performance, and the Judvem.ent of the
trarher.
SCIENCE
:.rade 6
The sixth grade science course content includes units of study on: outdoor
education, oceanography, family living, astronomy, space science, energy,
predicting the weather, animal development and health. A basic text and
supplementary materials are used along with related worksheets, resource
material, programmed material, film strips, transparencies, videotapes
and films. A current science newspaper is used semimonthly. The computer
unit introduced in grade S is continued in grade 6. Again, the purpose is
to develop logical thinking using the LOGO language.
Grade 7 -- Life Science
The course content is based on living things and their relationship to each
other and to the environment. Much of the class time is spent on investiga-
tions both outdoors and in the lab. The topics studied include: a unit on
field research, fresh water and land communities, cells (their structure
and functions), the plant and animal kingdoms, heredity, and an individual
research unit on dangered species.
Grade g -- Environmental Science
The eighth grade science program is a laboratory and textbook oriented
course. It emphasizes environmental studies that relate to the student
and his,'her environment. Areas of study include weather, soils and
geology, space travel and astronomy, and current environmental problems.
Conservation and ecology are considered with each of these units wherever
possible. The student should gain a greater appreciation of our planet
Earth and a more complete understanding of his/her environment.
PHYSICAL EDUCATION
The middle school physical education program is deFigned to recognize each
student's unique characteristics during this period of change not only
physically but socially and emotionally:. It is planned so that each student
will be able to work independently to become more active and self -directed.
Coeducational activities in physical education are a part if this program.
State and federal agencies have recognized that boys and girls must live
together and work together and that they should also learn to play together.
Together they can dance, bike, ski, skate, swim and so on.
Howp�er, the entire program will not be coeducational. Students will be
separated by sex for contact sports such as wrestling, Within classes,
students may be grouped on at abiiity basis e.en if such grouping results
in a single -sex or primarily single -sex grouping. Through flaxibie
scheduling, team teaching, variable Kroup size and teacher guiaance, we
expect each student L,� find the concept that his/her healthy body can be
used successfully n creative ways,

HEALTH EDUCATION
The middle school health education program is designed for seventh and eighth
grade students to recognize their healt`, needs and opportunities. It is
created so that each student will be able to work and become more self -directed
in making decisions regarding health issues. Through flexible scheduling,
variable group size and proper guidance, each student will discover the
concept that his/her healthy body is a result of his/her decisions.

Introduction to health, personal hygiene, chronic and degenerative diseases,
abused chemicals (alcohol and tobacco), first aid and safety.
Grade 8

GERMAN
Los! Grade 7
The text for seventh grade German is Unsere Freunde (Harcourt, Brace,
Janovich), edition 2. This book contains all the material for Level I
and much of Level TI. In ORono Middle School, students cover the work
In Level I; the first half in seventh grade, the second half in eighth.
The teaching method ,sed is a combination aural -oral/grammar. In each
unit we contrast and comp, the German-speaking to the American (U.S.)
culture. Of the four languo_ kills --comprehension, speaking, reading,
writing/or copying --the first e stressed more than the latter.
Each of the four skills is pract_ -ith the vocabulary introduced in
each chapter.
Accompanying the texth ook are tapes, wc._ >oks, and filmstrips. Films
and slides are used co show German-speakir;, -ountries as they ar- toda\.
Activitiea and gam&, supplvaent and enrich i material introduced in
the textbook.
Metter! Grade 8
Eighth graders work toward the completion of Level I in Unsere Freund*.
Those students who so elect can then begin Level II German in ninth grade.
In eighth grade we continue to examine `rammatically and culturally the
structure of the German language. We practice vocabulary, reading,
speaking, copying, and listei.ing comprehension skills. We continue
using the supplementary aide% mentioned in "-os' Grade
INTEGRATED ARTS
Studentq in each grade at the middle school have integrated arts. The
integrated arts are art, home economics and �dustrial education.
Grades 6 b 7
Sixth and seventh grade students have art, home economics and industrial
education, each for nine weeks. Music_ for nine eeks completes the year.
Grade 9
Eighth grade students have art and industrial education, each for nine
weeks. They also have music for nine weeks. During the first semester
all eighth grade students will be scheduled into an, industrial education
or music. During this semester they will have nine weeks of instruction
in the class scheduled, but not as nine consecutive weeks of. instruction.
During this semester they will also be taught creative thinking skills
and word processing application to complete one semester of instruction.
The second at-mester of eighth grade students will have one quarter each
of the remaining classes of art or industrial education or music.
music
General Music
Within the context of general education, the particular concern of aesthetic
education is the cultivation of attitudes, learnings, and skills in the arts
through instruction of wide scope and quality. This concern is quite sub-
stantially fulfilled within the organization of the texts used in sixth
through eighth grades. These texts are the "Exploring Music" series by the
Holt, Rinehart and Winstcn Company. This series presents to the students
the elements of music (rhythm, ` ony, test, form, tone color, melody) as
practical tools that they use t., ieate their own sound and recreate soinds
of other composers. Other objectives of the general music class are to
develop the ability to recognize characteristics of past cultures, and to
develop the ability arm proper attitude toward the use of the library.
Seventh and eighth & —de m�sic students are first expected to learn the
principles of music wi_,ch is followed by a c;se examination of various forms
used in music. the rect of th? time is s creating an,: experimenting
with the sou -ids of nur present composers. elop`.ng skills of music is
accomplished in the aair and band.
Instrumental Mus
The content of instruction in bands six through eight is to learn and develop
the necessary skill to read music, which, as it is accomplished, will enable
the student to prusue a parallel course of study in the reading (playing) of
music literature. The fundamental skills include: tone production. attack
and release of tone . no shaping, count'ng time. expression, register.
technical profici-,• y, interpretation. As a reading course in music literature
the instrumentali.t will be directed toward a lasting appreciat.on &oA under-
standing of all types of ausic: sacred, recular, etc., and baroque, isical.

to the various data used for Lake measurements. Further, if the
Highway 101 gauge does, in fact, read high, it would still need to
be determined whether this same error affects other survey
information which has been used for regulatory purposes, such as
