City Planner Curtis explained In July of 2022 the timber walls, deck and stair to the lake were destroyed
by fire. In March of 2023 the City Council reviewed an after-the-fact variance request for the new
retaining walls as construction was found to have expanded beyond the in-kind allowance of the
administrative building permit. Because there were a number of concerns, the Council tabled the
application to allow the applicants to redesign and provide clarification and supporting engineering. The
applicant has provided a wall plan with engineering reflecting a design as close to in-kind as they were
able to achieve, a landscape plan and a plan for the permitted lake access stair deck and shed. Earlier this
summer with the City's approval the contractor made modifications and corrections to the as-constructed
walls which were necessary in order to improve structural stability. The proposed replacement deck and
shed will not encroach closer to the lake than the previously existing structures. The lake stairs are an
allowed improvement within the 75-foot setback and can be constructed, along with the shed and deck,
with an administrative building permit. The applicant is requesting after-the-fact setback variances to
address the replacement wall footprint expansions in the bluff. Comments from the public were received.
Replacement of destroyed walls is essential, Curtis said, due to the bluff and steep nature on the property
as well as the immediately adjacent neighboring properties. The variance to permit the expanded retaining
wall structure within the bluff and 75-foot setback will help to maintain the existing slope and character
of the area. Staff recommends approval as proposed. The applicants and some neighbors were present.
Mark and Lisa Thostenson, 2815 Casco Point Road, the applicants, said they have been communicating
with their neighbors and doing their best to address concerns.
Walsh said it is a complicated project and he recalls the biggest issues were bringing the grade back to
where it was, making sure the neighbors were protected and whether the engineering design would add
height to the top wall or add an additional top wall. He asked how it was determined that the contractor
had not done everything according to plan.
Lisa Thostenson said she and her husband had no idea that the plan wasn’t followed exactly by the
contractor. They sent photos to the engineer and that is how they discovered there were some things that
they weren't comfortable with and requested assistance from the City.
Paul Schimnowski with Criterium-Schimnowski Engineers, 161 Dunbar Way, Mahtomedi, Minnesota,
the engineer of record, said he had received some construction progress photos from the homeowners and
noticed some things that were not done per plan. He notified everyone involved and ended up ending the
contract and service agreement with the contractor. He said he had not seen the neighbors’ questions until
the meeting but thought most could be easily answered. Matching the old bluff height was an important
consideration on this project, he said, and a height of 961 feet nearly from one side to the other with just a
little bit of step down at each end will provide substantial additional support for the neighbors’ properties
on each side. He noted they are still under a stop-work order and did some remedial repairs to the
existing work. The request is for a setback variance and not necessarily the wall approval.
Curtis also said the variance is for the location and placement of the walls. If there are any other technical
details, that is typically part of the building permit.
Patty Yorks, 2825 Casco Point Road, said her biggest concern is that the wall doesn’t blend in with the
shoreline and asked about the landscape plan. She felt some of the proposed plantings were too short.

Benson said she would find it helpful to see a different rendering of the landscape plan that would show
height since she is not familiar with all the proposed species of plants. She said it would be her preference
that the City give as much guidance in that area as possible. Benson noted there were some concerns at
the last hearing on the root structure of some kinds of plantings related to the walls.
Curtis said the City could continue to work with the applicants to make sure plantings were right-sized for
the wall at maturity. She said root structure could result in some limitations for plant selection.
Johnson said rather than trying to set a landscaping plan and specific plants, the Council should stipulate a
percentage of screening and allow the applicant and staff to design the landscaping.
Thostenson indicated a photo of the former wall before the fire and said he would be happy to work on a
landscaping plan as it would be better than it was before.
Penny Saiki, 2874 Casco Point Road, asked about drainage, bowed sections of the wall and the
requirement for railings.
Curtis said railings are only required on the deck and stairs and the building inspector would make sure
that all requirements are followed.
Schimnowski said the walls are designed to drain any surface water that gets behind them. The weep
holes were included in the design as an industry standard; however, it is very unlikely that any water will
ever be seen draining from them.
Lisa Thostenson said new drain tiles have just been installed around the house and they worked with the
wall contractor on where those will drain.
Carol Price, 2813 Casco Point Road, the neighbor to the west, said the Thostensons had not actually
contacted them and they had never gotten any notification from Curtis. She and her husband are seeing
these plans for the first time. She said her husband could not be present but his comments were that this
was not in-kind replacement and the shed and deck should be treated as new construction. He also
questioned the drainage plan. He contended portions of the plan did not have the sign-off of a licensed
engineer in the State of Minnesota. He said there are conditions in the engineer’s design that if ignored,
make reliance on the engineered design impossible. He requested the City require completion of the soil
testing that the engineer requested and a retaining wall completion report.
Schimnowski said he did not see the same problems in the grading plan that Price was pointing out. The
drainage on the site, as proposed, meets all the City standards, he said, so he does not have any concerns
with that. He added the building inspector will be out to do inspections as the remainder of the wall goes
up. When it's completed, there will be a letter from the design engineer saying it got built like it was
supposed to get built with his signature on it.

Price said at the March meeting, the Council said they believed the new wall system has to go back to the
original grade and line up with the tip of the bluff and the properties on either side. The Mayor had said at
the time the contractor had created an entire new bluff landscape that was not part of the like in-kind, and
they have to figure out how to re-engineer to get that grade back, she said. Price said the concerns she
expressed at the February and March City Council meetings do not seem to be addressed in the revised
plan. She said the proposed plans to add 3.4 feet in height to the center of the sixth wall near the stairs and
then add timbers besides toward the adjacent property don’t mitigate the gradient difference. She
contended the new patio would be larger than the original and further into the average lakeshore setback.
The survey denotes that the timber border of garden from the adjacent lot to be removed, she pointed out,
explaining the garden border is actually a retaining wall that steps down the elevation gradient of the
Price property to the applicant’s property. This elevation ranges from approximately six inches to 12
inches. She asked, where is the note to explain what will be done once the timbers are removed so that her
yard and gardens don't fall into the neighbor's yard.
Johnson said Ms. Prices’s notes were included in the packet and are very technical and no one on the
Council is a licensed engineer, as she is. He asked how the Council can take her comments and apply
them directly to the engineers involved and find a way to address these in a way that is meaningful to her.
Johnson said what's important to him in this process is that the Prices as neighbors have done nothing
wrong. There has been a problem and as a result, the neighbors are suffering through this process. Within
the responses of both Prices, he said, there's some really good information that quite honestly, he doesn't
understand. However, the City has staff to be able to do that. He asked what is the best process to make
sure that the Price’s concerns get addressed to give them satisfaction that their investment is protected.
Walsh suggested a meeting between the neighbors, the City staff, and the applicant’s engineer to address
the questions. He said the City’s goal would be to make sure it is done correctly and solves all those
issues.
The consensus of the City Council was that the Prices would meet with the applicant’s engineer and the
City Staff to get questions answered. City Council Members discussed the need to be sure of plans to
taper the top of the wall at the east and west ends and make sure the landscape plan screens enough of the
wall. The Council debated requiring a certain percentage of the wall being covered.
Crosby suggested 25 percent be required.
Benson said without getting into percentages or trying to micromanage this process, she thinks the
intention is to create a view from the lakeshore up and for the neighboring houses that is covering as
much of this as possible. That's really the goal, she said, and it sounds like that's achievable.
Veach said it seems that communication has been an issue. She heard that the applicant is willing to plant
vegetation and it would be in their best interest to make the retaining wall as attractive as possible. She
believed they would figure that out and the Council does not need to get into the weeds on that as long as
everybody has agreed to a mode of communication.

Johnson said his proposal would be to have staff draft the approval so the applicants know that the City is
approving the process, but the approval doesn't get ratified until the next City Council meeting. He said
that would give the applicant, neighbors, and engineers time to talk and if something were to come up
there would be an opportunity to remove approval from the consent agenda at the next meeting and
discuss it further.
Johnson moved, Crosby seconded, to have staff draft the approval for Resolution 7387 amending it
to include the adjustment of the wall at the corners and to maximize the screenage of the
vegetation. VOTE: Ayes 5, Nays 0.
In a continuation of the Community Development Report, Community Development Director Oakden
said the department has continued to be busy with permits and on-site inspections. They are working
through about 10 applications for the next Planning Commission meeting as well as text amendments and
code enforcement.
CITY ATTORNEY REPORT
Attorney Mattick said he had nothing to report beyond the items scheduled for the closed session later
that evening.
CITY ADMINISTRATOR/ENGINEER REPORT
11. OLD PUBLIC WORKS FACILITY REMODEL (23-044)-DESIGN PROPOSAL
Edwards updated the City Council, noting staff is looking for guidance on a way forward on fire facilities.
The resolution passed at the time of the needs assessment approval called for the staff to seek a proposal
from an architect on the design for the remodel of the existing public works facility into a permanent fire
house. That was done with Oertel, the current architectural firm working on the new public works facility.
The task was to provide a facility for the Orono Fire Department. The challenges are that the existing
facilities Station One and Two would require renovation and maintenance totaling a couple million
dollars over the next few years. The other complication is that Station One is co-owned with the City of
Long Lake and the current litigation hampers any access of either those facilities right now. Remodel of
the existing public works facility into a permanent fire station is possible, but it is costly and not
necessarily ideally suited to the purpose, he said. He suggested the Council take a more incremental and
phased approach and engage the architecture firm to help with some temporary facility needs that would
last until the City could get full access to the existing facilities and get those fully remodeled. Orono
bonded for $3 million for fire facilities. The remodel of the existing public works facility would be about
$3.5 million, leaving no funds currently identified to do any upgrades to the other facilities. Use of the old
public works building as a permanent fire department may also require some significant structural
improvements, he said. The predicted occupancy for the building would be September 2025. The other
consideration would be architect’s fees estimated at $295,000.
Veach asked about use of the old public works facility after its use as a temporary fire facility.
Edwards said it has potential as a recreational facility and some grants may be available for that. There
are many things that would need to happen to that building regardless of its eventual usage such as
roofing and mechanical, he said. There are some things that would be different such as air handling needs.

Veach asked if a temporary building would impact public safety in any way.
Edwards said he did not believe it would in the short term but that is one of the things that would have to
be evaluated.
Veach also asked if the City would be committed to an action taken at that meeting if the situation with
the City of Long Lake litigation were to change.
Edwards said given the timeline he believes at any time the City could readjust the design and move in a
different direction.
Benson quoted the architect’s information on other fire facilities it had helped design indicating numerous
meetings and public workshops between the community, the City Council, the firefighters, both staff and
volunteer, and the architect to determine the overall scope and feasibility of the project. She said she’s
concerned that this may not be the case here. She said the building was built for public works and was not
intended to be a fire station. The City is now talking about spending money to remodel a building not
intended for fire as a significant budget item when the building was considered to not be appropriate to
remodel for public works. She said fire is one of the most important services provided by the City to
residents. She also mentioned traffic patterns on Old Crystal Bay Road with the school district offices,
schools and buses and a senior facility. She is concerned about safety for the surrounding uses and the
public as well as being appropriate for first responders. She questions whether this is a sound decision
even temporarily.
Veach said at a recent fire services meeting the State Fire Marshall indicated the method the City of
Orono has used to make decisions is the standard way to do things. She asked if the police have had any
issues with being able to respond due to traffic in that area.
Edwards said that was not a concern he had heard from the Police Chief.
Johnson said the problem with the old public works facility was size. He said it's not that it wasn't good
enough for public works but now the City can put the firefighters in there.
Benson said location is important along with other traffic patterns and she believes the old public works
location may involve factors that are not anticipated.
Crosby said Station One fights the same problem and Station Two has it even worse because of needing
to cross Shoreline Drive. That’s why they have lights and sirens and do a full stop and look. He said he
does not think the location would be that bad as the police station is there too.
Walsh said he likes Edward’s proposal to look at a temporary plan.
Benson asked what temporary means and if the school district had been consulted.

Edwards said anywhere from July of next year to sometime in 2026. Looking at concerns such as the
school would be part of the process if the Council authorizes staff to continue.
Benson asked if the City did not have to go out for bids on an architect.
Edwards explained the City currently has a service agreement with the architect working on the new
public works facility and has the authority to go directly to that firm for service, but any contract and
expense would still need to come before the Council.
Johnson moved, Veach seconded, to direct staff to engage with Oertel Architects to provide
architectural services for a design proposal to remodel the old public works facility as a temporary
fire station. VOTE: Ayes 4 Nays 1 (Benson).
12. PUBLIC WORKS FACILITY (21-039)- CHANGE ORDER 1
Edwards said this is the first change order request for the public works facility. Some needed changes
were identified in the building process in the amount of $153,836.23. He recommended removing the
natural gas generator from the project at this time, saving $490,000 to fund this and possible future
change orders. It would be replaced with a diesel generator after construction which would be less
expensive, especially since it could be sized to actual electrical load. Additionally, the City’s other
generators are diesel.
Crosby moved, Johnson seconded, to approve the change orders and the removal of the natural gas
generator for the new public works facility. VOTE: Ayes 5 Nays 0.
13. NEXT WORK SESSION DRAFT AGENDA
Edwards said this would be the standard work session agenda for Aug.14 including the average lakeshore
setback process. He recommended using the whole hour. He also proposed adding a Council Committee
Report header to the agenda in the future so Council members could report on any meetings of a
committee on which they served. The Council agreed that would be a good idea.
Veach moved, Crosby seconded, to approve the Work Session draft agenda as proposed. VOTE:

RECESS & RECONVENE
Mayor Walsh recessed the meeting at 8:28 p.m. The meeting was reconvened at 8:38 p.m.
PUBLIC COMMENTS
Evelyn Knapp, 85 Cristofori Circle, said she has been a resident of Orono for 33 years and never felt the
need to come to City Council meetings to see what’s going on until about four years ago. She said she is
very unhappy with the attitude of some of the members of this Council and would like to see community
input mean something. She said she is not in favor of starting a new fire department and doesn’t feel
adequate reasons to do that have been given, and that is not where she wants her tax dollars going. She
said the situation is tearing the community apart and urged the Council to make some real compromises

with the City of Long Lake during mediation to get a new contract and keep the fire department as it is.
She said Chief James Van Eyll said he was going to do all these amazing things with the fire department
but asked why he didn’t do them when he was the Fire Chief for Long Lake. Because of the financial
impact on the citizens of Orono, she said, the public should have a chance to vote.
Jay Nygard, 1386 Rest Point Road, said Walsh has stated his lawyers have said he shouldn’t speak to
anyone who is in a lawsuit with him. Walsh hasn’t paid any lawyers, according to Nygard. The taxpayers
are paying for his lawyers, so it's really not his lawyers, he said, it's our lawyers that are telling him not to
talk to us. Nygard said Walsh created a company in competition with his while he was on the City
Council and then used the City to sue him and try to run him out of town. He is suing Walsh for this and
then is forced to pay for his private legal expenses. He also said a $3.5 million temporary fire station in a
high traffic area makes no sense and seven lawsuits are costing the City a great deal of money. He said he
plans to file a motion with the court to separate resident Walsh from the City of Orono so he has to pay
his own legal fees.
Nancy Brantingham, 3185 County Road 6, said she would just like to add her assent to what Ms. Knapp
said and that she appreciates her bringing up once again the Council’s failure to take proper input from
citizens on the fire department.
Ritchie Anderson, 3205 Crystal Bay Road, said he wanted to compliment the Park Commission and Park
staff for revitalizing the Crystal Bay Post Office area with a new apparatus that is really beautiful. As the
City’s LMCD Representative, he pointed out the LMCD is looking at creating a new fee structure for
docks. The member cities have been asked to weigh in on the proposal and he urged the City of Orono to
comment before the next LMCD meeting Aug. 9 so they can vote on it. Regarding the fire station issue,
he said he agrees with the two women who spoke about the fire station, but that horse has left the stable.
He said the City is at the point now where it is leaving Long Lake Fire in 2025 and will need somewhere
to put the fire trucks. He asked if they should be put in a parking lot and said he can’t believe there was a
no vote on that action because a place has to be found for them.
Helen Landgraver, 2570 Thoroughbred Lane, said she could not agree more with the two women who
spoke earlier. She said two meetings ago, the Council put out public comment cards. Councilmember
Benson took the time to compile the results of those comment cards and they were overwhelmingly in
favor of not having a separate fire department. She said she would like to know how Walsh considers that
propaganda, adding taxes are being raised 20.7 percent in one year and the Council has decided to dump
another $3.5 million into a temporary fire station. She said she asked specifically to be provided some
compelling reason why a separate fire department is needed and that still has not been provided. This
horse has not left the stable, she said, stating it is still a very open matter.
Chelsea Wetrick, Independence, said that though Walsh asked people to stay off social media he spends a
lot of time on it himself. She contended Walsh and Crosby will barely look at her or look at
Councilmember Benson when she is speaking. She said they can’t look at anyone who is saying
something they don’t agree with and said it is because of ego and the need to be in charge of everything.

Kelly Grady, 271 Greenhill Lane, Long Lake, said it is not true that the fire fighters are in favor of their
pensions being transferred to Orono, adding that pension are not governed by either one of the cities. She
said at the June 12 meeting, the firefighters were not allowed to speak. Walsh, in his videos, continues to
state that everyone he speaks to is behind the new fire department and that is not true, as was seen at this
Council meeting and other meetings. She would like to see factual data regarding response times, how
that compares to other response times in the area, and how that will be improved with a duty crew. Grady
also pointed out that she has submitted dozens of questions to the Council on several occasions, and they
have never been answered. Yet she sat frustrated tonight as one resident’s bluff was discussed for an hour
and 45 minutes. She said that is incredibly frustrating for somebody who has actively tried to engage both
Councils in trying to find resolution related to the fire department and incredibly disappointing as a
citizen who relies on that public safety entity.
Brad Erickson, 2485 Independence Road, said he also has had a business in Orono for more than a
decade. He said he has seen the Council’s answers in his lawsuit and that while there were a lot of denials
Walsh did not admit or deny sending him a video during the 2020 election and Crosby did not admit or
deny being at the nation’s capital on Jan. 6, 2021 or crowd-funding for the Proud Boys in front of the
Orono seal. He said there were pretty strong denials on some of the other questions but nothing on that.
Erickson said Walsh knows he sent the video and he can prove it. He said Walsh has the bully pulpit and
can control the narrative in Orono but he will not be able to do that in the court of law. He said Judges
don't put up with any BS and they have a real keen sense of who's full of shit and who is not.
MAYOR/COUNCIL REPORT
Johnson had nothing to report.
Benson said given that the committee share-outs haven’t started yet, she wanted to share that she attended
the Future Fire Service meeting recently. This is a group of other municipal leaders and staff, some fire
chiefs, and there was also a representative from the State Fire Marshal's office there. She said a good
amount of time was spent discussing thoughts on how to move forward with the shared service model for
fire. Orono’s neighboring cities are actively discussing ways to reduce redundancies, share costs, and
coordinate staffing and provide high quality service, she said. This coming Saturday is the 14th annual
Long Lake Fire Department Red Hot Run with proceeds going to the Long Lake Firemen's Relief
Association. She said she plans to attend.
Crosby said when he is handled in a disrespectful way at Council meetings he will not react, as much as
he would like to say what he thinks, in order to honor the people of Orono and show respect for his
Council seat and the forum here. He said he appreciated some of the opposing comments that evening
because the speakers handled themselves in a respectful manner. Once the litigation is resolved, he said,
he will be happy to answer any questions that a citizen or even a non-citizen has about fire. He said he
would be happy to talk about the long process they have been through trying to come to some conclusion
with Long Lake. But out of respect for this chamber and everybody in it, he said, he was not going to
respond to the insults or to the craziness. Crosby said he served the fire department for 10 years and has
been on City Council for 6 years. He acknowledged that he is a conservative, a constitutionalist, a patriot

and a supporter of Donald Trump. He said he is not a member of the Proud Boys. He urged those in the
gallery, when there’s applause for the carnival, to look in the mirror a little bit.
Veach said before reporting on her committees she would like to address Kelly Grady’s concerns. She
said she is working on answers for her but it will take time. She said public comment is sometimes not the
best forum as the Council can’t engage during public comment. If you want to reach the Council by
email, or come meet in person, that's the time to engage, she said. She said she also wanted to give an
update on the committees that she’s been working on in her first month on the Council. She said she had
met with City Council members from Long Lake as part of the negotiations committee and learned a great
deal about the history of the negotiations she had not been privy to. She said unfortunately due to
litigation they are unable to continue those meetings and find resolutions, but she felt the meetings had
been productive. She said without a foundation of trust it will all be for nothing and people need to realize
the process will be slow, which she realizes is frustrating. However, she said she was very energized by
the meetings she attended and left feeling like this was something they could get to the bottom of. She is
also on the budget committee which met last Friday and she found it great to sit down with the City’s
Finance Director and his team. She said her takeaway was that it was a very conservative budget and
accounted for some situations. Of course, she said, the hope is that things work out with Long Lake, but
the City has to plan like it won't. She thanked the staff and City Council for taking the time to orient her
to her new position as a City Council Member and make her feel welcome.
Walsh gave an update on the construction of the new public works facility saying all the trusses are in
place, the walls are up, and they will start doing the roof next week. Coffee with the Mayor had to move
one week to the third Wednesday of the month so the next one will be on Aug. 16. He gave a rundown of
high school fall sports starting up including dance team, cross country, and football. New hockey coaches
and a new athletic director are in place. He said the Council was about to go into closed session and
would then reopen the meeting to adjourn, but he was not aware of any other business to come before the
Council at that meeting.
14. CLOSED SESSION
Crosby moved, Johnson seconded, to enter into closed session as permitted by the attorney-client
privilege (section 13D.05, subdivision 3 (b)) to discuss the threat of litigation by the City of Long
Lake regarding the Contract for Fire Protection and will include an update related to the following
