He felt the residents who did not respect the City ordinances should be prodded by the City, and then ticketed. He requested the Council endorse work to .raise awareness of existing ordinances . Mr. Line mentioned that he felt boats should be kept out of view from neighbors. Sansevere stated that he felt Council should review the boat storage ordinance, but he would favor more leniency in the ordinance. Mr. Line stated that he did not like seeing yachts parked in people's frorit yards and felt that he and his wife Lorie were forced to act as the "ordinance police" each time they complained. He stated that people who spent money to improve their property, and therefore came to the City for permits, were being forced to jump through hoops, but others, who did not invest in their property, were allowed to keep their property in a poor, or unrespectable, condition without interference. Sansevere stated he agreed with Mr. Line regarding certain issues, but he did not have a problem with people parking their boats in their yards. Mayor Peterson stated that if people were forced to store their boats off their property , it could become cost-prohibitive for some people to own boats. White suggested that Mr. Line meet with staff, and reminded Mr. Line that his neighbors . had approved of the variances he requested when building his house.

The Certificate of Mailing and Affidavit of Publication were noted . Weinberger stated the Planning Commission reviewed this application at their February 21 st meeting where it was tabled to allow the Applicants time to make some revisions to their site plan depicting the smaller-sized garage in its new location with a turnaround. The Applicants have reduced the size of the garage from a 30' by 30' garage to a 24' by 26' structure to keep within the existing structural coverage on the property. Weinberger stated the Applicants have relocated the garage five feet off the property line where previously it was located two and a half feet off the property line . Weinberger stated a small turnaround and backout area has been added for safety purposes to eliminate the need to back out onto Casco Point Road . Weinberger indicated the revised plan does take into account all of the Planning Commission 's recommendations . City Staff is recommending approval of the application. Weinberger stated the Applicants have hired a new surveyor, who will be inspecting the property later this week. _Weinberger stated if the survey meets all of the hardcover requirements , the site plan will proceed to the City Council. Gary Marquardt inquired whether their application could proceed forward to the City Council nex.1 week. Marquardt indicated they have been informed it will take approximately one week for the survey to be completed . PAGEt MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING MARCH 19, 2001 (#2644 Gary and Joan Marquardt, Continued) Weinberger recommended one of the conditions of approval on this application be that a building permit not be issued until City Staff has had an opportunity to review and approve the updated survey. Hawn inquired whether the retaining wall has been included in the hardcover calculations . Marquardt commented they would prefer to do landscaping rather than construct a retaining wall . At the present time a gradual slope exists in this area . Marquardt stated it was recommended they show the retaining wall in the event it is needed . Weinberger stated the retaining wall has not been included in the hardcover calculations . Kluth inquired what amount of hardcover the retaining wall would consist of. Weinberger stated in his opinion it would amount to approximately 20 square feet . Hawn commented she would prefer that a retaining wall not be constructed. Marquardt stated it is their intention at this time not to construct the retaining wall. Smith inquired whether the plastic underlayment would be removed . Marquardt indicated they are willing to remove the plastic. There were no public comments regarding this application . Kluth moved, Berg seconded, to recommend approval of Application #2644, Gary and Joan Marquardt, 2617 Casco Point Road, subject to an updated survey being submitted for review and approval by City Staff, and further subject to the four conditions listed on page two of the March 13, 2001 City Planner's Report.

The garage has been reduced from a 30' X 30' garage to a 24' X 26' structure. The Planning Commission requested the applicants submit a revised plan depicting the smaller sized garage in its new location with a turnaround added for safety purposes, eliminating the need to back out to Casco Point Road where sight distances are not ideal. Revised Application The applicants are requesting a two part application to 1) permit a second story addition above the existing single story house within a required side yard, and 2) addition of a 24' X 26' attached garage 5' from the side property line where 1 O' is required and 27' from the front property line where 30' is required. A 20' X 22' two stall detached garage, located 18' from the front property line would be removed as well as a 751 s.f. deck on the lakeside of the residence. #2644 Gary and Joan Marquardt 2617 Casco Point Road Variances --Public Hearing Page I of4 Pertinent Code Sections 1.

Reguired Setbacks LR-lC Front Yard= 30' Side Yard= 10' Review of Hardship 1. The total hardcover on the property would be increased primarily due to the longer driveway required to safely access the house. Several obstacles including a neighboring fence, tree and telephone pole block much of the view to the street to the existing garage entrance. The attached garage allows the vehicles to back out into the yard (but a paved backup apron would make more sense) and approach the street at an angle improving views to the street as well as allowing vehicles and pedestrians traveling on Casco Point Road to more easily view entering vehicles from the applicant's property. 2. The property as developed exceeds the allowed hardcover. A large 750 s.f. lakeside deck along the lakeside of the house would being removed to reduce some hardcover closest to the lake. A 14' X 14' four season porch would be constructed in its place. The four season porch would be located 105' from the OHWL of Lake Minnetonka. #2644 Gary and Joan Marquardt 2617 Casco Point Road Variances -Public Hearing Page 2 of 4 3. The property was developed prior to the adoption of the zoning ordinance. The house is approximately 1 O' from the side lot line at the lakeside and is angled to a point where the house is only 2.85' from the property line. A second story addition has been designed to leave the front ½ (lakeside) of the existing house to one story. Only the back ½ (street side) would have a second story. This concentrates the massing of the structure further from the lakeshore, and eases the burden of the views from adjacent residences towards the lakeshore. 4. The overall lot coverage by structures decreases by 9 s.f. Most of the massing has been relocated from the lakeside of the residence to the street side to allow for the larger garage. For a lot coverage variance to be approved an actual hardship must be demonstrated to allow the increase in structure. The Council has in many situations allowed a property to replace the total existing structure when remodeling, but it is uncommon to allow a net increase when already exceeding 15%. Staff Recommendation Staff can support the project to allow the garage to be relocated and provide for improved site lines without the property owners having to request trees be removed to open site lines. Staff also supports equal replacement of the structural coverage to the amount existing before remodeling. Under that scenario the applicants could replace structure not to exceed 2,970 s.f. on the lot. The reduction in total structural coverage would allow the 24' X 26' two stall garage and not require any other structural changes to the plan. The result is a net 75-250' hardcover increase from 3,490 s.f. (27.3%) to approximately 3,980 s.f. (31 %), the majority of which is a result of added driveway. The stated hardship for the increase is primarily safety of access to this busy portion of Casco point Road. The applicant has submitted a new site plan that is not on a Certificate of Survey. The applicants have hired a new surveyor to complete the final drawing. Due to the time required for the new surveyor to complete the project it was not completed in time to be submitted with this report to the Planning Commission. A condition of approval should include the requirement the new survey be submitted and reviewed by Staff prior to Council review. Options for Action: 1. Recommend approval of variances. 2 .. Recommend denial of variances, stating reasons. 3. Table for additional information or plan revisions. 4. Other action. #2644 Gary and Joan Marquardt 2617 Casco Point Road Variances --Public Hearing Page 3 of 4 EXHIBIT A ANALYSIS WORKSHEET Lot Area: LR-lB Required Actual Structural Coverage: Total Lot Size 17,467 s.f.

The Certificate of Mailing and Affidavit of Publication were noted. Gaffron noted the Marquardts are out of town and are unable to attend tonight's meeting. Gaffron stated the Applicants are proposing to construct a second story addition above the existing single story house within a required side yard along with the. addition of a 30 by 30 foot attached garage to be located 2.85 feet from the side property line where 10 feet is required and 21.76 feet from the front property line where 30 feet is required. '. Gaffron stated the residence is located on Casco Point Road, which i~ fairly narrow and rather busy in this area. The Applicants are proposing to add a s·econd story to the existing house, which is a single story residence with a basement. The existing house was construction prior to the adoption of the zoning ordinance. The house is located approximately ten feet from the side lot line at the lakeside and is angled to a point where the house is only 2.85 feet from the property line. The second story has been designed to leave the front one-half of the existing house at one story, with only the street side having a second story. The proposed addition would result in a 267 ~-quare feet increase in lot coverage. Gaffron noted the existing structural coverage is at 18.5 percent. The existing hardcover is 29 percent and would be increased to 38 percent if this application is approved. The Applicants are proposing to remove a large lakeside deck along the lakeside of the house in an effort to reduce hardcover. A four season porch would be constructed in its place and would be located 105 feet from the OHWL of Lake Minnetonka. Gaffron stated the existing garage is located only 18 feet from Casco Point Road and faces the road, which creates a potentially hazardous situation with vehicles backing out to the road PAGE2 D - MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING February 21, 2001 without the ability to view oncoming vehicles and pedestrians. The proposed attached garage ,vould allow the vehicles to back out into the yard and approach the street at an angle, which wo1:1ld improve the views to the street as well as allowing vehicles traveling on Casco Point Road to more easily view entering vehicles from the Applicant's property. Staff is recommending that the proposed garage be made smaller due to the amount of lot coverage being proposed on this site and located no closer than five feet from the lot line. Staff would be in favor of allowing the garage to be relocated to provide for improved site lines. Staff suggests a small area be provided as a tum-around. Staff would support equal replacement of the structural coverage to the amount which currently exists before remodeling. Hedblom, 2601 Casco Point Road, stated he is aware of the Applicants' plans to make these modifications on their property, and in his view all the neighbors in the immediate area are in support of the project. Hedblom commented in his opinion the changes being recommended by Staff would be acceptable to the Applicants. Hedblom noted the improvements being proposed only minimally impact his property. Hedblom stated if possible, the Applicants would like to keep the size of the garage at what was originally proposed, but would be willing to reduce the size of the garage if necessary. Whelan, Contractor, stated they are proposing to construct the garage more in front of the house in an effort to limit the amount of vehicle noise currently being experienced from Casco Point Road. There were no public comments regarding this application. Hawn commented any construction in the area of the property line would negatively impact the pine trees in that area and may need to be removed. Hedblom stated they are going to check into whether the pine trees would need to be removed as a result of this project. Hedblom stated they are not opposed to removal of the trees and would be . . willing to plant new trees following construction. Hedblom commented one of the trees has already PAGE3 MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING February 21, 2001 experienced storm damage and is not in very good shape. Kluth indicated he would be reluctant to grant any increase to hardcover on this lot. Kluth inqui~ed .• . whether the Applicants discussed the hardcover issue with City Staff. Kluth indicated the Planning Commission has been very reluctant to grant any increases to hardcover in the past. Hedblom noted the deck would be removed as part of this project. Hedblom stated the situation with the garage in its present location is very dangerous and needs to be addressed. Hedbloin noted the present driveway is very short and relocation of the garage would allow safer access into the property. Kluth stated the issue he has with the garage is the proposed size due to the amount of hardcover and structural coverage presently on the lot. Hedblom commented in his view the Applicants would be willing to reduce the size of the garage. Hawn pointed out the Planning Commission has taken a very strict policy on increasing structural coverage, and if approval is granted on the current proposal, a precedent would be set. Hawn noted the amount of structural coverage already existing on the lot is in excess of the allowable amount. Gaffron stated in order to meet the amount of existing structural coverage on the lot, the garage would need to be reduced to 24' by 26 '. Mabusth inquired whether the Applicants have given any consideration to removal of the boat house. Hedblom stated the Applicants would like to keep the boathouse since it provides storage for their dock materials and serves a useful purpose. Hawn stated she would be in support of doing some improvements to the driveway. Hawn stated .. the current proposal does not really allow for a turnaround and in her view should be modified somewhat. Hawn inquired what hardcover would result if a turnaround were added. Gaffron stated if the garage were reduced, the amount of driveway would also be reduced PAGE4 MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING February 21, 2001 somewhat. Gaffron stated the Applicants are also proposing to remove some landscape plastic and rock as part of this project. Gaffron stated the amount of hardcover resulting from the turnaroun_d would probably be between 50 to 100 square feet. Hawn suggested that perhaps by moving the garage forward somewhat, the amount of driveway could be reduced slightly. Gaffron stated moving the garage forward would possibly result in a reduction of 50 to 100 square feet of hardcover. Kluth indicated he would be like to see a revised plan showing the proposed changes prior to voting on this application. Gaffron stated the Planning Commission could review the revised plan at their March meeting. Hedblom stated they would like to go before the City Council at their March meeting if possible. Hawn commented the Applicants will rieed to submit a revised plan depicting the smaller sized garage in its new location with a turnaround added so the Planning Commission will know exactly the amount of hardcover and structural coverage being proposed. Hawn commented for safety reasons she would be in support of some improvements being done to the garage and driveway situation. Ha\vn indicated the Applicants will need to limit structural coverage to the amount currently existing, which is 17 percent. Kluth stated he is opposed to the plan being presented tonight since it exceeds the existing structural coverage. Gaffron noted the Applicants would be required to extend the review period for this application since the 120 days expire the 16th of March. Gaffron stated the City has a standard form that the Applicants will need to sign extending the review period. Hawn moved, Kluth seconded, to table Application #2644, Gary and Joan Marquardt, 2617 Casco Point Road, to allow the Applicants time to submit a revised plan.

Gaffron noted this lot consists of .68 ere, with the LR-1B District requiring a minimum of one acre. Orono's Zoning Ordinance allows s to be considered record lots when they meet 80 percent of the zoning requirements for lot area, which is lot does not meet and requires a lot area variance. The property exceeds the required lot w th requirements of 140 feet by having a defined lot width of 145 feet at the 75 foot lakeshore se a.ck. Gaffron indicated there is a house to the south of this prope , with a 50 foot right-of-way to the north of the site. Gaffron stated a new residence can be c structed meeting the City's other requirements. Gaffron noted the Applicants will need to meet e 25 percent hardcover limit.

Required Setbacks LR-lC Front Yard= 30' Side Yard= 10' Discussion: Applicants have addressed the issue of egress and ingress to the property with the existing garage location. The existing garage is located only 18' from Casco Point Road and faces the road creating a potentially hazardous situation with vehicles backing out to the road without the ability to view on coming vehicles and pedestrians. Several obstacles including a neighboring fence, tree and telephone pole block much of the view to the street. The attached garage allows the vehicles to back out into the yard and approach the street at an angle improving views to the street as well as allowing vehicles traveling on Casco Point Road to more easily view entering vehicles from the applicant's property. In the applicant's letter ofrequest they have stated there have been dozens of brake screeching near misses while backing out. The concern is the location of the proposed attached garage that would be located only 2.85' from the side lot line where a 10' setback is required. Construction of the house was before the adoption of the current zoning standards. The site plan shows the location of the house in relation to the property line. The garage would not encroach any closer to the side property line than the house. #2644 Gary and Joan Marquardt 2617 Casco Point Road Variances --Public Hearing Page 2 of 5 The second story addition is within the 10' side setback. Adding a second story would place a full two story structure only 2.64' from the side lot line. The adjacent house is more than 20' away allowing for adequate separation between the existing buildings. However, redevelopment or additions to the adjacent house could eliminate some of the separation between the buildings. Review of Hardship 1. The total hardcover on the property would be increased primarily due to the longer driveway required to safely access the house. Several obstacles including a neighboring fence, tree and telephone pole block much of the view to the street to the existing garage entrance. The attached garage allows the vehicles to back out into the yard (but a paved backup apron would make more sense) and approach the street at an angle improving views to the street as well as allowing vehicles and pedestrians traveling on Casco Point Road to r:nore easily view entering vehicles from the applicant's property. 2. The property as developed exceeds the allowed hardcover. A large 750 s.f. lakeside deck along the lakeside of the house would being removed to reduce some hardcover closest to the lake. A 14' X 14' four season porch would be constructed in its place. The four season porch would be located 105' from the OHWL of Lake Minnetonka. 3. The property was developed prior to the adoption of the zoning ordinance. The house is approximately IO' from the side lot line at the lakeside and is angled to a point where the house is only 2.85' from the property line. A second story addition has been designed to leave the front½ (lakeside) of the existing house to one story. Only the back½ (street side) would have a second story. This concentrates the massing of the structure further from the lakeshore, and eases the burden of the views from adjacent residences towards the lakeshore. 4. The overall lot coverage by structures increases by 267 s.f. Most of the massing has been relocated from the lakeside of the residence to the street side to allow for the larger garage. For a lot coverage variance to be approved an actual hardship must be demonstrated to allow the increase in structure. The Council has in many situations allowed a property to replace the total existing structure when remodeling, but it is uncommon to allow a net increase when already exceeding 15%. Staff Recommendation Staff can support the project to allow the garage to be relocated and provide for "improved site lines without the property owners having to request trees be removed to open site lines. Staff also supports equal replacement of the structural coverage to the amount existing before remodeling. Under that scenario the applicants could replace structure not to exceed 2,970 s.f. on the lot. The reduction in tc)tal structural coverage would allow, at a minimum, a 24' X 26' two stall garage and not require any other structural changes to the plan. Staff also suggests that the proposed driveway be reshaped to allow a functional back up apron. The result is a net 75-250' hardcover increase from 3,490 s.f. (27.3%) to approximately 4,650 s.f. (36.5%), the majority of which is a result of added driveway. The stated hardship for the increase is primarily safety of access to this busy portion of Casco point Road. Also, Staff suggests that the new attached garage be offset to maintain . at least a 5' setback to the lot line. #2644 Gary and Joan Marquardt 2617 Casco Point Road Variances --Public Hearing Page 3 ofS Pertinent Code Sections I.

Required Setbacks LR-lC Front Yard = 30' Side Yard= 10' Discussion: Applicants have addressed the issue of egress and ingress to the property vvith the existing garage location. The existing garage is located only 18' from Casco Point Road and faces the road creating a potentially hazardous situation with vehicles backing out to the road without the ability to view on coming vehicles and pedestrians. Several obstacles including a neighboring fence, tree and telephone pole block much of the view to the street. ·The attached garage allows the vehicles to back out into the yard and approach the street at an angle improving views to the street as well as allovving vehicles traveling on Casco Point Road to more easily view entering vehicles from the applicant's property. In the applicant's letter ofrequest they have stated there have been dozens of brake screeching near misses while backing out. The concern is the location of the proposed attached garage that would be located only 2.85' from the side lot line where a 1 0' setback is required. Construction of the house was before the adoption of the current zoning standards. The site plan shows the location of the house in relation to the property line. The garage would not encroach any closer to the side property line than the house. #264-l Gary and Joan Marquardt 2617 Casco Point Road Variances -Public Hearing Page 2 of5 The second story addition is within the 1 O' side setback. Adding a second story would place a full two story structure only". 2.64' from the side lot line. The adjacent house is more than 20' away allowing for adequate separation between the existing buildings. However, redevelopment or additions to the adjacent house could eliminate some of the separation between the buildings. Review of Hardship 1. The total hardcover on the property would be increased primarily due to the longer driveway required to safely access the house. Several obstacles including a neighboring fence, tree and telephone pole block much of the view to the street to the existing garage entrance. The attached garage allows the vehicles to back out into the yard (but a paved backup apron would make more sense) and approach the street at an angle improving views to the street as well as allowing vehicles and pedestrians traveling on Casco Point Road to more easily view entering vehicles from the applicant's property. 2. The property as developed exceeds the allowed hardcover. A large 750 s.f. lakeside deck along the lakeside of the house would being removed to reduce some hardcover closest to the lake. A 14' X 14' four season porch would be constructed in its place. The four season porch would be located 105' from the OHWL of Lake Minnetonka. 3. The property was developed prior to the adoption of the zoning ordinance. The house is approximately 1 O' from the side lot line at the lakeside and is angled to a point where the house is only 2.85' from the property line. A second story addition has been designed to leave the front½ (lakeside) of the existing house to one story. Only the back½ (street side) would have a second story. This concentrates the massing of the structure further from the lakeshore, and eases the burden of the views from adjacent residences towards the lakeshore. 4. The overall lot coverage by structures increases by 267 s.f. Most of the massing has been relocated from the lakeside of the residence to the street side to allow for the larger garage. For a lot coverage variance to be approved an actual hardship must be demonstrated to allow the increase in structure. The Council has in many situations allowed a property to replace the total existing structure when remodeling, but it is uncommon to allow a net increase when already exceeding 15%. Staff Recommendation Staff can support the project to allow the garage to be relocated and provide fo·r improved site lines without the property owners having to request trees be removed to open site lines. Staff also supports equal replacement of the structural coverage to the amount existing before remodeling. Under that scenario the applicants could replace structure not to exceed 2,970 s.f. on the lot. The reduction in total structural coverage would allow, at a minimum, a 24' X 26' two stall garage and not require any other structural changes to the plan. Staff also suggests that the proposed driveway be reshaped to allow a functional back up apron. Also, Staff suggests that the new attached garage be offset to maintain at least a 5' setback to the lot line. #2644 Gary and Joan Marquardt 2617 Casco Point Road Variances --Public Hearing Page 3 of5 Options for Action: I.

' ' ·=-~.~~.:..:.. ., i·· ) :.~~ • ~~l__ :·. ~;-.. - C -November 2000 . ~-,t . ' Background J .;l .:--J ', ;-" __ " ::-! My wife and I have lived at 2617 Casco Point Road since November 1985. We raised our children here and have been contributing members of our community. We have done little to our house since purchasing it. In the storms of May a year-and-a-half ago, we sustained serious roof damage and serious deck damage from our neighbor's 250-year-old oak tree falling across our house and deck. We began then planning our remodeling project with these needed repairs as a beginning point. We enjoy our neighborhood, our community and our location and as we approach retirement we have decided to live in this house through our retirementyears. In order to be safe and comfortable our project planning addressed the following issues: 1. Garage ... The entrance to the garage has been a dangerous feature since we moved in. a. Our garage door is only 18.4 feet from the road making ingress and egress a very dicey maneuver. b. We have had literally dozens of brake screeching near misses backing out. c. The garage is very small, barely wide enough for two cars and too short for my car. It will not accommodate our two cars, much less a lawnmower and snow blower, thus we always have at feast one car parked on the road. 2. Entry to our house ... The entrance of the house is on the very East end of the house and is difficult to negotiate with grocery bags etc. and poorly placed. With the entrance trapped in a corner of one end of the house the middle of the house has very little natural light. 3. The deck ... Our deck was damaged, and it is weakened by the storm qamage in 1998, and it is old and rotten and at the least needs replacing. We have in our proposal the removal of the deck to help with our hardcover situation with a proposed on-ground patio near the proposed new entrance. 4. Road noise ... Our house is very close to the road with the master bedroom on the very East end adjacent to the existing main entrance. We have an impossible time sleeping past 6:00 in the morning due to road noise. \ 5. Roof. .. The existing roof was wind damaged and damaged by trees falling. It needs to be replaced and some of the underlying sheathing and underlay needs repair or replacement. This repair is best done when we add the second story. The sight lines and the height of the house is not an issue with any of the neighbors. 1 J ] J ] 1 .J J J ] ] ] ] J J J ] ] ] ] ] Marquardt November 2000 Planning and Preparation We have a rather extensive plan to remodel our house and remedy the five problems that we have stated above as well as adding needed living space on the proposed new second story on the East half of the house. Other than the proposed new attached garage, the footprint of the existing house does not change. There are setback issues and hardcover issues that are ever-present on Casco Point with the pre-existing pie shaped lots that will have to be dealt with. We had a survey and hardcover calculation done through Danburry last spring. We were not finished with our planning when Danburry went to the city and have opted for different contractors for this project. We have talked with all our neighbors and shown them our plans. We have been especially detailed in our meetings with both the Hedbloms (North of us) and the Stinsons (South of us) and have letters from them stating that they have no objections to our proposed remodel plan. Our hardship case is based on the issue of safe access is the existing garage and our need to move the entrance and the master bedroom to have a living condition where we can sleep without being awakened by road noise. Planned Remodeling We propose to raise and remove the existing garage including the driveway and concrete pad. The part of this space not needed for the proposed new driveway will become lawn and garden space. We propose to build a new attached garage situated on the East end of the house running along the lot line. The existing garage and slab will bB removed. The existing master bedroom will be converted to storage area where it attaches to the proposed new garage. We propose an earthen berm along Casco Point Road around which the proposed new driveway would go. This would help reduce noise and water runoff from the road toward the lake. The roof must be replaced due to storm damage no matter what. With this in mind, on the existing footprint of the house, we propose to add a second story on the East half of the house to allow for a master bedroom, a master bath, an additional bedroom and walk-in closet. Having the bedroom upstairs will further abate the noise problem from Casco Point Road. 2 ] ] ] J ] ] J J J J ] l J ] ] J ] J ] ] Marquardt November 2000 We propose making changes to the first floor to move the main entrance of the house to near the middle of the house on the South side. This will provide a more central entrance, better natural light penetration into the house as well as some major room re-arrangement beneath the proposed new upper level. Contractors have told us that removing the existing roof and trying to construct a second floor over the existing walls is fraught with problems and it would be advisable to tear down the above ground structure to the first floor deck and rebuild the walls of the first floor beneath the proposed new second floor. The West half of the house would be re-roofed but otherwise remain in tact. We wish to remove and not replace the existing deck that covers the entire West side of the house and part of the South side. This deck would be removed to make some progress with the hardcover situation that is difficult in all of the pre-existing pie-shaped lots on Casco Point road. We propose to backfill along the South side of the house and install an on-ground stone patio extending from the proposed new entry toward the lake near the West end of the house. This will provide less outside patio space than the existing plan but from a landscaping point of view and a hard-cover perspective is a big improvement. We propose to add a three-season sunroom on the Southwest corner of the house just off the existing dining area. This would be a three-season porch on the upper level and a screened porch on the lower level. We feel that we can accomplish all of this without losing any significant trees and with little disruption to the neighborhood. We have provided drawings, hard-cover calculations, photos, dimensions, and drawings. Variances and other issues. There are several issues that we wish to address in order to get this plan approved. Setback: Our house is less than 3 feet from the lot line on the North side, and is not parallel to the lot line on the North side. We understand that the setback recommendation is ten feet. It is presumed that this is a fire issue for separation between buildings. We have had extensive discussions with the Hedbloms who live just North of us. There is more than the prescribed 20 feet between the Hedblom garage a·nd our house. The oblique angle bAtween our existing house · and the lot line is an issue that must be looked at, however we feel that maintaining the North wall of the proposed new garage at the existing setback from the fence would be sufficient given that the Hedblom's garage is the adjacent structure and ALL of the proposed new garage would abut their driveway which is not suitable for structure building in the future. Hardcover. We believe that our hardcover calculation is better than many with lots of this configuration. We feel that it is likely that we can remove the existing garage, solving a very unsafe situation, add the berm, a curved driveway with a turn-around and the new garage and at the very least make the hard-cover situation no worse and perhaps improve it slightly. 3 1 ] ] ] J l Jl ·1 I Marquardt November 2000 Second Story We have had a structural engineer examine the existing foundation and support system. The concrete block walls are sufficient width to support adding a second floor. The city planners, in a preliminary conversation, stated that they were not in favor of building above the existing structure and stated that if we removed the roof from the existing first floor, then they would not allow us to replace it due to it's proximity to the lotline. We feel that the 22':-8" between the Hedblom garage and our house is sufficient to provide fire and access and given the fact that the Hedblom's are in favor of the project, poses no issues with objections. Lake setback. The three-season porch will not protrude further toward the lake than the existing deck. Thus there should not be a problem with sight lines or setback. We have shown both the Hedbloms (on the North) and the Stinsons (on the South) where this structure would lie and they have no issue with it. Conclusion. We are very anxious to get our project underway and can be available for Commission members to visit us or discuss the project at almost any time. We have provided documentation and photos to illustrate our hardship issues as well as our design plans. We welcome the opportunity to explain our project and work with the city authorities to see it through.

Commissioners Dale Lindquist, William Stoddard, and Sandra Smith were absent. The following represented City Staff: Senior Planning Coordinator Michael Gaffron, Assistant Zoning Administrator Wendy Bottenberg, and Recorder Jackie Young . Chair Hawn called the meeting to order at 6:30 p.m . PUBLIC HEARINGS (#1) #2638 ZONING CODE AMENDMENT, ORONO MUNICIPACZONING CODE, SECTION 10.45 (B-6 DISTRICT), 6:31 p.m. -6:35 p.m. . The Certificate of Mailing and Affidavit of Publication were noted. Gaffron stated the City is proposing amending Section 10.45 to add "'Clinics for human care on an outpatient basis .only" to the list of permitted uses in the B-6 Highway Commercial District. Gaffron stated while the B-4 district is the City's office and professional business district and does allow for clinic use, Staff feels including clinics in the B-6 district would be appropriate to allow the parcel of land ne>..'t to the proposed senior housing center to be utilized for medical office use. Gaffron stated other permitted uses within the B-6 District include offices , banks and financial institutions, libraries, motels and hotels . Gaffron stated proper notice has been given of this public hearing .· There were no public comments regarding this application. Kluth stated this application was also reviewed at the January Planning Commission meeting. Kluth noted there were no public comments at that time either. Kluth stated he does not have a problem with the proposed amendment. Hawn moved, Berg seconded, to recommend approval of Application #2638, City of Orono, Zoning Code Amendment, Orono Municipal Zoning Code, Section 10.45 (B-6 District), to add "Clinics for human care on an outpatient basis only" to the list of permitted uses in the B-6 Highway Commercial District. VOTE: Ayes 4, Nays 0. ( 2 #2644 G RY & JOAN MARQUARDT, 2617 CASCO POINT ROAD, VARIANCES, 6:35 p.m. -o:57 p.m. Jerry Whelan, Contractor, and Bruce and Carol Hedblom, Neighbors , were present. The Certificate of Mailing and Affidavit of Publication were noted. Gaffron noted the Marquardts are out of town and are unable to attend tonight's meeting . PAGE 1 MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING February 21, 2001 (#2644 Gary & Joan Marquardt, Continued) Gaffron stated the Applicants are proposing to construct a second story addition above the existing single story house within a required side yard along with the addition of a 30 by 30 foot attached garage to be located 2.85 feet from the side property line where 10 feet is required and 21.76 feet from the front property line where 30 feet is required. Gaffron stated the residence is located on Casco Point Road, which is fairly narrow and rather busy in this area. The Applicants are proposing to add a second story to the existing house, which is a single story residence with a basement. The existing house was constructed prior to the adoption of the zoning ordinance. The northwest comer of the h()l!S_~ is located app1::o_xi.n.:1,~J.e_ly_t~-~ feet from the side lot line and is angled to a point where the house is only 2.85 feet from the side property line at the northeast comer. The second story has been designed to leave the front one-half of the existing house at one story, with only the street side having a second story. The proposed addition would result in a 267 square feet increase in lot coverage. Gaffron noted the existing structural coverage is at 18.5 percent. The existing hardcover is 29 percent and would be increased to 38 percent if this application is approved. The Applicants are proposing to remove a large deck along the lakeside of the house in an effort to reduce hardcover. A four season porch would be constructed in its place and would be located 105 feet from the OHWL of Lake Minnetonka. Gaffron stated the existing garage is located only 18 feet from Casco Point Road and faces the road, which creates a potentially hazardous situation with vehicles backing out to the road without the ability to view oncoming vehicles and pedestrians. The proposed attached garage would allow the vehicles to back out into the yard and approach the street at a right angle, which would improve the vie,vs to the street as well as allowing vehicles traveling on Casco Point Road to more easily view entering vehicles from the Applicant's property. Staff is recommending that the proposed garage be made smaller due to the amount of lot coverage being proposed on this site and that it be located no closer than five feet from the lot line. Staff would be in favor of allowing the garage to be relocated to provide for improved site lines. Staff suggests a small area be provided for a backup apron. Staff would support equal replacement of the structural coverage to the amount which currently exists before remodeling. Hedblom, 2601 Casco Point Road, stated he is aware of the Applicants' plans to make these modifications on their property, and in his view all the neighbors in the immediate area are in support of the project. Hedblom commented in his opinion the changes being recommended by Staff would be acceptable to the Applicants. Hedblom noted the improvements being proposed only minimally impact his property. Hedblom stated if possible, the Applicants would like to keep the size of the garage at what was originally proposed, but would be willing to reduce the size of the garage if necessary. Whelan, Contractor, stated they are proposing to construct the garage more in front of the house in an effort to limit the amount of vehicle noise currently being experienced from Casco Point Road. There were no public comments regarding this application. Ha\m commented any construction in the area of the property line would negatively impact the PAGE2 MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING February 21, 2001 (#2644 Gary & Joan Marquardt, Continued) pine trees in that area which may need to be removed. Hedblom stated they are going to check into whether the pine trees would need to be removed as a result of this project. Hedblom stated they are not opposed to removal of the trees and would be ·willing to plant new trees following construction. Hedblom commented one of the trees has already experienced storm damage and is not in very good shape. Kluth indicated he would be reluctant to grant any increase to hardcover on this lot. Kluth inquired whether the Applicants discussed the hardcover issue with City Staff. Kluth indicated the Planning Commission has been very reluctant to grant any increases to hardcover in the past. _1____ --~~-----·-·--····~----.. •- Hedblom noted the deck would be removed as part of this project. Hedblom stated the situation with the garage in its present location is very dangerous and needs to be addressed. Hedblom noted the present driveway is very short and relocation of the garage would allow safer access into the property. Kluth stated the issue he has with the garage is the proposed size due to the amount of hardcover and structural coverage presently on the lot. Hedblom commented in his view the Applicants would be \Villing to reduce the size of the garage. Hawn pointed out the Planning Commission has taken a very strict policy on increasing structural coverage, and if approval is granted on the current proposal, a precedent would be set. Ha-wn noted the amount of structural coverage already existing on the lot is in excess of the allowable amount. Gaffron stated in order to meet the amount of existing structural coverage on the lot, the garage would need to be reduced to 24' by 26'. Mabusth inquired whether the Applicants have given any consideration to removal of the boat house. Hedblom stated the Applicants would like to keep the boathouse since it provides storage for their dock materials and serves a useful purpose. Hawn stated she would be in support of doing some improvements to the driveway. Hm\n stated the current proposal does not really allow for a turnaround and in her view should be modified somewhat. Hawn inquired what hardcover would result if a turnaround were added. Gaffron stated if the garage were reduced, the amount of driveway would also be reduced somewhat. Gaffron stated the Applicants are also proposing to remove some landscape plastic and rock as part of this project. Gaffron stated the amount of hardcover resulting from the backup apron would probably be between 50 to 100 square feet. Hawn suggested that perhaps by moving the garage forward somewhat, the amount of driveway could be reduced slightly. PAGE3 MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING February 21, 2001 (#2644 Gary & Joan Marquardt, Continued) Gaffron stated moving the garage forward would possibly result in a reduction of 50 to 100 square feet of hardcover. Kluth indicated he would be like to see a revised plan showing the proposed changes prior to voting on this application. Gaffron stated the Planning Commission could review the revised plan at their March meeting. Hedblom stated they would like to go before the City Council at their March meeting if possible. Hawn commented the Applicants will need to submit a revised plan depicting the smaller sized garage in its new location with a turnaround added so the Planning Commission will know exactly the amount of hardcover and structural cove~age being proposei Ha,~commented for safety reasons she would be in support of some improvements being done to the garage and driveway situation. Hawn indicated the Applicants will need to limit structural coverage to the amount currently existing, which is 17 percent. Kluth stated he is opposed to the plan being presented tonight since it exceeds the existing structural coverage. Gaffron noted the Applicants would be required to e:x.iend the review period for this application since the 120 days expire the 16th of March. Gaffron stated the City has a standard fom1 that the Applicants will need to sign extending the review period. Hawn moved, Kluth seconded, to table Application #2644, Gary and Joan Marquardt, 2617 Casco Point Road, to allow the Applicants time to submit a revised plan. VOTE: Ayes 4, Nays 0. (#3) #2654 THE LION GROUP, ON BEHALF OF JAMES BULL, 1330 CHERRY PLACE, VARIANCE, 6:58 p.m. -7:06 p.m. James Bull, Applicant, was present. The Certificate of Mailing and Affidavit of Publication were noted. Gaffron stated the Applicants are requesting variances to lot area to allow for the redevelopment of this property which is located in the LR-lB District. The request is to permit the lot as a buildable record lot for a period of one year. Currently the property has an existing residence located on it and is a lakeshore lot. Gaffron noted this lot consists of .68 acre, with the LR-lB District requiring a minimum of one acre. Orono's Zoning Ordinance allows lots to be considered record lots when they meet 80 percent of the zoning requirements for lot area, which this lot does not meet and requires a lot area variance. The property exceeds the required lot width requirements of 140 feet by having a defined lot width of 145 feet at the 75 foot lakeshore setback. Gaffron indicated there is a house to the south of this property, with a 50 foot right-of-way PAGE4 Application Date: Deadline Date: 11/15/00 3/16/01 TO: Chair Hawn and Orono Planning Commission Members Ron Moorse, City Administrator FROM: Paul Weinberger, Zoning Administrator/Planner DATE: February 15, 2001 SUBJECT: #2644 Gary and Joan Marquardt 2617 Casco Point Road Variances --Public Hearing Zoning District: Lot Area: List of Exhibits LR-IC One Family Lakeshore Residential District (1/2 acre) 17,467 s.f.

A 20' X 22' two stall detached garage, located 18' from the front property line would be removed as well as a 7 51 s.f. deck on the lakeside of the residence. The site alteration would include an increase in structure on the property. Currently, the property is developed over the 25% allowed hardcover in the 75-250' setback. #2644 Gary and Joan Marquardt 2617 Casco Point Road Variances --Public Hearing Page I of5 2.. --- ..

Section 10.25, Subdivision 6 (B): To permit an encroachment into the side setback 2.64' from the side property line to permit the addition of a second story above the existing residence within the required 1 0' side setback. Required Setbacks LR-1 C Front Yard= 30' Side Yard= 10' Discussion: Applicants have addressed the issue of egress and ingress to the property with the existing garage location. The existing garage is located only 18' from Casco Point Road and faces the road creating a potentially hazardous situation with vehicles backing out to the road without the ability to view on coming vehicles and pedestrians. Several obstacles including a neighboring fence, tree and telephone pole block much of the view to the street. The attached garage allows the vehides to back out into the yard and approach the street at an angle improving views to the street as well as allowing vehicles traveling on Casco Point Road to more easily view entering vehicles from the applicant's property. In the applicant's letter ofrequest they have stated there have been dozens of brake screeching near misses while backing out. The concern is the location of the proposed attached garage that would be located only 2.85' from the side lot line where a 10' setback is required. Construction of the house was before the adoption of the current zoning standards. The site plan shows the location of the house in relation to the property line. The garage would not encroach any closer to the side property line than the house. #2644 Gary and Joan Marquardt 2617 Casco Point Road Variances --Public Hearing Page 2 of5 The second story addition is within the 1 O' side setback. Adding a second story would place a full two story structure only 2.64' from the side lot line. The adjacent house is more than 20' away allowing for adequate separation between the existing buildings. However, redevelopment or additions to the adjacent house could eliminate some of the separation between the buildings. Review of Hardship 1. The total hardcover on the property would be increased primarily due to the longer driveway required to safely access the house. Several obstacles including a neighboring fence, tree and telephone pole block much of the view to the street to the existing garage entrance. The attached garage allows the vehicles to back out into the yard (but a paved backup apron would make more sense) and approach the street at an angle improving views to the street as well as allowing vehicles and pedestrians traveling on Casco Point Road to more easily view entering vehicles from the applicant's property. 2. The property as developed exceeds the allowed hardcover. A large 750 s.f. lakeside deck along the lakeside of the house would being removed to reduce some hardcover closest to · the lake. A 14' X 14' four season porch would be constructed in its place. The four season porch would be located 105' from the OHWL of Lake Minnetonka. 3. The property was developed prior to the adoption of the zoning ordinance. The house is approximately 1 O' from the side lot line at the lakeside and is angled to a point where the house is only 2.85' from the property line. A second story addition has been designed to leave the front ½(lakeside) of the existing house to one story. Only the back ½ (street side) would have a second story. This concentrates the massing of the structure further from the lakeshore, and eases the burden of the views from adjacent residences towards the lakeshore. 4. The overall lot coverage by structures increases by 267 s.f. Most of the massing has been relocated from the lakeside of the residence to the street side to allow for the larger garage. For a lot coverage variance to be approved an actual hardship must be demonstrated to allow the increase in structure. The Council has in many situations allowed a property to replace the total existing structure when remodeling, but it is uncommon to allow a net increase when already exceeding 15%. Staff Recommendation Staff can support the project to allow the garage to be relocated and prov.ide for improved site lines without the property owners having to request trees be removed to open site lines. Staff also supports equal replacement of the structural coverage to the amount existing before remodeling. Under that scenario the applicants could replace structure not to exceed 2,970 s.f. on the lot. The reduction in total structural coverage would allow, at a minimum, a 24' X 26' two stall garage and not require any other structural changes to the plan. Staff also suggests that the proposed driveway be reshaped to allow a functional back up apron. Also, Staff suggests that the new attached garage be offset to maintain at least a 5' setback to the lot line. #2644 Gary and Joan Marquardt 2617 Casco Point Road Variances --Public Hearing Page 3 of5 Options for Action: 1.

' ~ ~-. ~---·, My wife and I have lived at 2617 Casco Point Road since November 1985. We raised our children here and have been contributing members of our community. We have done little to our house since purchasing it. In the storms of May a year-and-a-half ago, we sustained serious roof damage and serious deck damage from our neighbor's 250-year-old oak tree falling across our house and deck. We began then planning our remodeling project with these needed repairs as a beginning point. We enjoy our neighborhood, our community and our location and as we approach retirement we have decided to live in this house through our retirementyears. In order to be safe and comfortable our project planning addressed the following issues: 1. Garage ... The entrance to the garage has been a dangerous feature since we moved in. a. Our garage door is only 18.4 feet from the road making ingress and egress a very dicey maneuver. b. We have had literally dozens of brake screeching near misses backing out. c. The garage is very small, barely wide enough for two cars and too short for my car. It will not accommodate our two cars, much less a lawnmower and snow blower, thus we always have at least one car parked on the road. 2. Entry to our house ... The entrance of the house is on the very East end of the house and is difficult to negotiate with grocery bags etc. and poorly placed. With the entrance trapped in a corner of one end of the house the middle of the house has very little natural light. 3 .. The deck ... Our deck was damaged, and it is weakened by the $torm qamage in 1998, and it is old and rotten and at the least needs replacing. We have in our proposal the removal· of the deck to help with our hardcover situation with a proposed on-ground patio near the proposed new entrance. 4. Road noise ... Our house is very close to the road with the master bedroom on the very East end adjacent to the existing main entrance. We have an impossible time sleeping past 6:00 in the mqrning due to road noise . 5. Roof ... The existing roof was wind damaged and damaged by trees falling. It needs to be replaced and some of the underlying sheathing and underlay needs repair or replacement. This repair is best done when we add the second story. The sight lines and the height of the house is not an issue with any of the neighbors. ] ] J ] 1 .J J J J ] J ] J ] ] ] ] ] J J Marquardt November 2000 Planning and Preparation We have a rather extensive plan to remodel our house and remedy the five problems that we have stated above as well as adding needed living space on the proposed new second story on the East half of the house. Other than the proposed new attached garage, the footprint of the existing house does not change. There are setback issues and hardcover issues that are ever-present on Casco Point with the pre-existing pie shaped lots that will have to be dealt with. We had a suNey and hardcover calculation done through Danburry last spring. We were not finished with our planning when Danburry went to the city and have opted for different contracJors for this project. We have talked with all our neighbors and shown them our plans. We have been especially detailed in our meetings with both the Hedbloms (North uf u::;) cu 1d the Sii11::;urn, (South of us) and have letters from them stating that they have no objections to our proposed remodel plan. Our hardship case is based on the issue of safe access is the existing garage and our need to move the entrance and the master bedroom to have a living condition where we can sleep without being awakened by road noise. Planned Remodeling We propose to raise and remove the existing garage including the driveway and concrete pad. The part of this space not needed for the proposed new driveway will become lawn and garden space. We propose to build ·a new attached garage situated on the East end of the house running along the lot line. The existing garage and slab will b.e removed. The existing master bedroom will be converted to storage area where it attaches to the proposed new garage. We propose an earthen berm along Casco Point Road around which the proposed new driveway would go. This would help reduce noise and water runoff from the road toward the lake. The roof must be replaced due to storm damage no matter what. With this in mind, on the existing footprint of the house, we propose to add a second story on the East half of the house to allow for a master bedroom, a master bath, an additional bedroom and walk-in closet. Having the bedroom upstairs will further abate the noise problem from Casco Point Road. 2 ] ] ] J J ] ] J J J ] l J ] ] ] ] J Marquardt November 2000 We propose making changes to the first floor to move the main entrance of the house to near the middle of the house on the South side. This will provide a more central entrance, better natural light penetration into the house as well as some major room re-arrangement beneath the proposed new upper level. Contractors have told us that removing the existing roof and trying to construct a second floor over the existing walls is fraught with problems and it would be advisable to tear down the above ground structure to the first floor deck and rebuild the walls of the first floor beneath the proposed new second floor. The West half of the house would be re-roofed but otherwise remain in tact. We wish to remove and not replace the existing deck that covers the entire West side of the house and part of the South side. This deck would be removed to make some progress with the hardcover situation that is difficult in all of the pre-existing pie-shaped lots on Casco Point road. We propose to backfill along the South side of the house and install an on-ground stone patio extending from the proposed new entry toward the lake near the West end of the house. This will provide less outside patio space than the existing plan but from a landscaping point of view and a hard-cover perspective is a big improvement. We propose to add a three-season sunroom on the Southwest corner of the house just off the existing dining area. This would be a three-season porch on the upper level and a screened porch on the lower level. We feel that we can accomplish all of this without losing any significant trees and with little disruption to the neighborhood. We have provided drawings, hard-cover calculations, photos, dimensions, and drawings. Variances and other issues. There are several issues that we wish to address in order to get this plan approved. Setback: Our house is less than 3 feet from the lot line on the North side, and is not parallel to the lot line on the North side. We understand that the setback recommendation is ten feet. It is presumed that this is a fire issue for separation between buildings. We have had extensive discussions with the Hedbloms who live just North of us. There is more than the prescribed 20 feet between the Hedblom garage a·nd our house. The oblique angle bAtween our existing house and the lot line is an issue that must be looked at, however we feel that maintaining the North wall of the proposed new garage at the existing setback from the fence would be sufficient given that the Hedblom's garage is the adjacent structure and ALL of the proposed new garage would abut their driveway which is not suitable for structure building in the future. Hardcover. We believe that our hardcover calculation is better than many with lots of this configuration. We feel that it is likely that we can remove the existing garage, solving a very unsafe situation, add the berm, a curved driveway with a turn-around and the new garage and at the very least make the hard-cover situation no worse and perhaps improve it slightly. 3 ] ] ] J J; ] l 1 ] j Marquardt November 2000 Second Story We have had a structural engineer examine the existing foundation and support system. The concrete block walls are sufficient width to support adding a second floor. The city planners, · in a preliminary conversation, stated that they were not in favor of building above the existing structure and stated that if we removed the roof from the existing first floor, then they would not allow us to replace it due to it's proximity to the lot line. We feel that the 22'~8" between the Hedblom garage and our house is sufficient to provide fire and access and given the fact that the Hedblom's are in favor of the project, poses no issues with objections. Lake setback. The three-season porch will not protrude further toward the lake than the existing deck. Thus there should not be a problem with sight lines or setback. We have shown both the Hedbloms (on the North) and the Stinsons (on the South) where this siructure would lie and they have no issue with it. Conclusion. We are very anxious to get our project underway and can be available for Commission members to visit us or discuss the project at almost any time. We have provided documentation and photos to illustrate our hardship issues as well as our design plans. We welcome the opportunity to explain our project and work with the city authorities to see it through.

Required Setbacks LR-lC Front Yard= 30' Side Yard = 10' Discussion: Applicants have addressed the issue of egress and ingress to the property \\ith the existing garage location . The existing garage is located only 18' from Casco Point Road and face ~ the road creating a potentially hazardous situation with vehicles backing out to the road without the ability to view on coming vehicles and pedestrians . Several obstacles including a neighboring fence , tree and telephone pole block much of the view to the street. The attached garage allows the Yehicles to back out into the yard and approach the street at an angle improving views to the street as well as allowing vehicles traveling on Casco Point Road to more easily view entering vehicles from the applicant's property. In the applicant's letter ofrequest they have stated there have been dozens of brake screeching near misses while backing out. The concern is the location of the proposed attached garage that would be located only 2.85' from the side lot line where a 10' setback is required. Construction of the house was before the adoption of the current zoning standards. The site plan shows the location of the house in relation to the property line. The garage would not encroach any closer to the side property line than the house . #2644 Gary and Joan Marquardt 2617 Casco Point Road Variances --Public Hearing Page 2 ofS The second story addition is within the 1 O' side setback. Adding a second story would place a full two story structure only 2.64' from the side lot line. The adjacent house is more than 20' away allowing for adequate separation between the existing buildings. However, redevelopment or additions to the adjacent house could eliminate some of the separation between the buildings. Review of Hardship 1. The total hardcover on the property would be increased primarily due to the longer driveway required to safely access the house. Several obstacles including a neighboring fence, tree and telephone pole block much of the view to the street to the existing garage entrance. The attached garage allows the vehicles to back out into the yard (but a paved backup apron would make more sense) and approach the street at an angle improving views to the street as well as allowing vehicles and pedestrians traveling on Casco Point Road to more easily view entering vehicles from the applicant's property. 2 . The property as developed exceeds the allowed hardcover. A large 750 s.f. lakeside deck along the lakeside of the house would being removed to reduce some hardcover closest to the lake. A 14' X 14' four season porch would be constructed in its place. The four season porch would be located 105' from the OHWL of Lake Minnetonka. 3. The property was developed prior to the adoption of the zoning ordinance. The house is approximately 1 O' from the side lot line at the lakeside and is angled to a point where the house is only 2.85' from the property line. A second story addition has been designed to leave the front½ (lakeside) of the existing house to one story. Only the back½ (street side) would have a second story. This concentrates the massing of the structure further from the lakeshore, and eases the burden of the views from adjacent residences towards the lakeshore. 4. The overall lot coverage by structures increases by 267 s.f. Most of the massing has been relocated from the lakeside of the residence to the street side to allow for the larger garage. For a lot coverage variance to be approved an actual hardship must be demonstrated to allow the increase in structure. The Council has in many situations allowed a property to replace the total existing structure when remodeling, but it is uncommon to allow a net increase when already exceeding 15%. Staff Recommendation Staff can support the project to allow the garage to be relocated and provide for improved site lines without the property owners having to request trees be removed to open site lines. Staff also supports equal replacement of the structural coverage to the amount existing before remodeling. Under that scenario the applicants could replace structure not to exceed 2,970 s.f. on the lot. The reduction in total structural coverage would allow, at a minimum, a 24' X 26' two stall garage and not require any other structural changes to the plan . Staff also suggests that the proposed driveway be reshaped to allow a functional back up apron. The result is a net 75-250' hardcover increase from 3,490 s.f. (27.3%) to approximately 4,650 s.f. (36.5%), the majority of which is a result of added driveway. The stated hardship for the increase is primarily safety of access to this busy portion of Casco point Road. Also, Staff suggests that the new attached garage be offset to maintain . at least a 5' setback to the lot line. #2644 Gary and Joan Marquardt 2617 Casco Point Road Variances --Public Hearing Page 3 ofS • STATE OF MINNESOTA ) ) COUNTY OF HENNEPIN ) ss. ) CITY OF ORONO ) CERTIFICATE OF MAILING I , Mary Ann Johnson , of the City of Orono, Hennepin County, Minnesota, do hereby certify that a Notice of Public Hearing concerning the matter of #2644, as mailed to the attached list of property owners.

We raised our children here and have been contributing members of our community. We have done little to our house since purchasing it. In the storms of May a year-and-a-half ago , we sustained serious roof damage and serious deck damage from our neighbor's 250-year-old oak tree falling across our house and deck. We began then planning our remodeling project with these needed repairs as a beginning point. We enjoy our neighborhood , our community and our location and as we approach retirement we have decided to live in this house through our retirement years. In order to be safe and comfortable our project planning addressed the following issues: 1. Garage .. .The entrance to the garage has been a dangerous feature since we moved in. a. Our garage door is only 18.4 feet from the road making ingress and egress a very dicey maneuver . b. We have had literally dozens of brake screeching near misses backing out. c . The garage is very small, barely wide enough for two cars and too short for my car. It will not accommodate our two cars, much less a lawnmower and snow blower, thus we always have at least one car parked on the road. 2. Entry to our house ... The entrance of the house is on the very East end of the house and is difficult to negotiate with grocery bags etc. and poorly placed. With the entrance trapped in a corner of one end of the house the middle of the house has very little natural light. 3. The deck ... Our deck was damaged , and it is weakened by the storm damage in 1998 , and it is old and rotten and at the least needs replacing. We have in our proposal the removal of the deck to help with our hardcover situation with a proposed on-ground patio near the proposed new entrance. 4. Road noise ... Our house is very close to the road with the master bedroom on the very East end adjacent to the existing main entrance. We have an impossible time sleeping past 6:00 in the morning due to road noise. 5 . Roof ... The existing roof was wind damaged and damaged by trees falling. It needs to be replaced and some of the underlying sheathing and underlay needs repair or replacement. This repair is best done when we add the second story. The sight lines and the height of the house is not an issue with any of the neighbors. 1 7 n 7 l 1 l l J j J J Marquardt November 2000 Planning and Preparation We have a rather extensive plan to remodel our house and remedy the five problems that we have stated above as well as adding needed living space on the proposed new second story on the East half of the house. Other than the proposed new attached garage, the footprint of the existing house does not change. There are setback issues and hardcover issues that are ever-present on Casco Point with the pre-existing pie shaped lots that will have to be dealt with. We had a survey and hardcover calculation done through Danburry last spring. We were not finished with our planning when Danburry went to the city and have opted for different contractors for this project. We have talked with all our neighbors and shown them our plans. We have been especially detailed in our meetings with both the Hedbloms (North of us) and the Stinsons (South of us) and have letters from them stating that they have no objections to our proposed remodel plan. Our hardship case is based on the issue of safe access is the existing garage and our need to move the entrance and the master bedroom to have a living condition where we can sleep without being awakened by road noise. Planned Remodeling We propose to raise and remove the existing garage including the driveway and concrete pad. The part of this space not needed for the proposed new driveway will become lawn and garden space. We propose to build a new attached garage situated on the East end of the house running along the lot line. The existing garage and slab will be removed. The existing master bedroom will be converted to storage area where it attaches to the proposed new garage. We propose an earthen berm along Casco Point Road around which the proposed new driveway would go. This would help reduce noise and water runoff from the road toward the lake. The roof must be replaced due to storm damage no matter what. With this in mind, on the existing footprint of the house, we propose to add a second story on the East half of the house to allow for a master bedroom, a master bath, an additional bedroom and walk-in closet. Having the bedroom upstairs will further abate the noise problem from Casco Point Road. 2 7 ~ 7 n 1 l r I f f t ] I J J J J Marquardt November 2000 We propose making changes to the first floor to move the main entrance of the house to near the middle of the house on the South side. This will provide a more central entrance, better natural light penetration into the house as well as some major room re-arrangement beneath the proposed new upper level. Contractors have told us that removing the existing roof and trying to construct a second floor over the existing walls is fraught with problems and it would be advisable to tear down the above ground structure to the first floor deck and rebuild the walls of the first floor beneath the proposed new second floor. The West half of the house would be re-roofed but otherwise remain in tact. We wish to remove and not replace the existing deck that covers the entire West side of the house and part of the South side . This deck would be removed to make some progress with the hardcover situation that is difficult in all of the pre-existing pie-shaped lots on Casco Point road. We propose to backfill along the South side of the house and install an on-ground stone patio extending from the proposed new entry toward the lake near the West end of the house. This will provide less outside patio space than the existing plan but from a landscaping point of view and a hard-cover perspective is a big improvement. We propose to add a three-season sunroom on the Southwest corner of the house just off the existing dining area. This would be a three-season porch on the upper level and a screened porch on the lower level. We feel that we can accomplish all of this without losing any significant trees and with little disruption to the neighborhood. We have provided drawings, hard-cover calculations, photos, dimensions, and drawings. Variances and other issues. There are several issues that we wish to address in order to get this plan approved. Setback: Our house is less than 3 feet from the lot line on the North side, and is not parallel to the lot line on the North side . We understand that the setback recommendation is ten feet. It is presumed that this is a fire issue for separation between buildings. We have had extensive discussions with the Hedbloms who live just North of us. There is more than the prescribed 20 feet between the Hedblom garage and our house. The oblique angle between our existing house and the lot line is an issue that must be looked at, however we feel that maintaining the North wall of the proposed new garage at the existing setback from the fence would be sufficient given that the Hedblom 's garage is the adjacent structure and ALL of the proposed new garage would abut their driveway which is not suitable for structure building in the future. Hardcover. We believe that our hardcover calculation is better than many with lots of this configuration . We feel that it is likely that we can remove the existing garage, solving a very unsafe situation , add the berm, a curved driveway with a turn-around and the new garage and at the very least make the hard-cover situation no worse and perhaps improve it slightly. 3 l n l I I l ) l u J J Marquardt November 2000 Second Story We have had a structural engineer examine the existing foundation and support system. The concrete block walls are sufficient width to support adding a second floor. The city planners, in a preliminary conversation, stated that they were not in favor of building above the existing structure and stated that if we removed the roof from the existing first floor, then they would not allow us to replace it due to it's proximity to the lot line. We feel that the 22'-8" between the Hedblom garage and our house is sufficient to provide fire and access and given the fact that the Hedblom's are in favor of the project, poses no issues with objections. Lake setback. The three-season porch will not protrude further toward the lake than the existing deck. Thus there should not be a problem with sight lines or setback. We have shown both the Hedbloms (on the North) and the Stinsons (on the South) where this structure would lie and they have no issue with it. Conclusion. We are very anxious to get our project underway and can be available for Commission members to visit us or discuss the project at almost any time. We have provided documentation and photos to illustrate our hardship issues as well as our design plans. We welcome the opportunity to explain our project and work with the city authorities to see it through.
