Exhibit B. Exhibit C. Exhibit D. Exhibit E. Draft Resolution PC Action Notice -5/25/12 PC Staff Report & Exhibits -5/18/12 120-Day Extension Letter -6/11/12 PC Minutes -5/21/12 Application Summary: The applicants are requesting the following approvals for construction of a new residence to replace the existing residence on the property: Lot area variance to allow construction on a lot of 14,799 s.f area where 21,780 s.f. is required. Lot width variance to allow construction on a lot of 52' defined width where 100' is required. 0-75' hardcover variance to allow 2.62% existing hardcover to remain in place where no hardcover is normally allowed. 75-250' hardcover variance to allow 35.0% hardcover where 39.65% hardcover exists and only 25% is normally allowed. The existing house was constructed around 1930 and is in poor condition. As applicants have described in their practical difficulties narrative, it would be appropriate to rebuild a new residence on the site. The lot is typical in size of many lakeshore lots in Orono. The property currently has a detached 2-stall garage with storage above, which applicants have renovated within the past 15 years. They are proposing to construct a new residence with attached garage totaling approximately 1700 s.f., but would also like to keep the existing detached garage of approximately 500 s.f., which will contribute to 75-250 hardcover overages. Planning Commission Recommendation On May 21, 2012 the Planning Commission voted 5 to O to recommend approval of the applicants' request with the following conditions: 1) Approval of the lot area and width variances. 2) Approval of 0-75' and 75-250' hardcover variances as shown, allowing the existing garage to remain in place, with the retaining walls north of the garage to also remain. #12-3554 June 20, 2012 Page 2 of 2 3) Hardcover excesses approved subject to proposing excess hardcover mitigation measures such as rain gardens and/or lakeshore buffers strips. 4) Because the lot coverage by structures as proposed is 2,249 s.f. (15.2%) as depicted in the sketches provided, applicant shall submit a revised conceptual building plan meeting the 2,220 s.f. (15%) limit. 5) The detached garage fa~ades must be updated to match the architectural styling of the proposed house. 6) Applicant is advised that there are likely going to be street parking difficulties during the construction process. This neighborhood has narrow roads, and a number of new home construction projects are anticipated within a block or two of the site for the next two years. 7) Approval is subject to all recommendations of the City Consulting Engineer in his letter dated May 17, 2012 which was included in the staff report dated May 18, 2012. At the Planning Commission meeting it was confirmed that the retaining walls directly north of the garage were to remain in place, as staff had noted that their removal would result in a slope that would be non­ maintainable and prone to erosion. This increases the proposed 75-250' hardcover by approximately 40 s.f. Planning Commission recommended that the general level of hardcover in the 75-250' zone was reasonable but should be mitigated by rain garden(s) and a buffer strip adjacent to the lake. Applicant has met with staff and has indicated the portion of the shore within approximately 15' of the lake is steeply sloped and has always been allowed to grow as it is not readily mowable. He also has agreed to provide a rain garden within the lakeshore yard. Finally, applicant has indicated that the house layout can be easily revised to meet the 2,220 s.f. lot coverage limit. Planning Staff Recommendation Planning Staff recommends approval of the requested lot area and width variances, the variance to allow existing hardcover in the 0-75' zone to remain at 2.62%, and allowing 75-250' hardcover at a level of 3711 + 40 = 3751 s.f. or 35.4% which includes retention of the wood walls noted above. Approval is conditioned per the Planning Commission recommendation. COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED The Council should review the request and adopt or amend the attached draft resolution granting the requested variances.

As applicants have described in their practical difficulties narrative, it would be appropriate to rebuild a new residence on the site. The lot is typical in size of many lakeshore lots in Orono. The property currently has a detached 2-stall garage with storage above, which applicants have renovated within the past 15 years. They are proposing to construct a new residence with attached garage totaling approximately 1700 s.f., but would also like to keep the existing detached garage of approximately 500 s.f., which will contribute to 75-250 hardcover overages.

Hardcover Variance Hardcover in the O to 75 foot zone is currently 110 s.f. which includes wood steps, a concrete wall and pad, and a small pumphouse. Applicants propose no changes in the 0-75' zone. 12-3554 May 18, 2012 Page 3 of 5 Hardcover in the 75-250' zone is currently 4,204 s.f. consisting of a 1369 s.f. house, a 471 s.f. detached garage, a 1077 s.f. driveway, plus decks, sidewalks and retaining walls totaling 1287 s.f. The proposed house is somewhat larger at 1690 s.f. including an attached garage and covered front stoop. The driveway will be lengthened to serve the attached garage, but narrowed to minimize hardcover. Existing retaining walls north of the detached garage are proposed to be removed. The deck on the lake side of the house will be much smaller than the existing deck. In reviewing whether additional removals are possible, it is noted that the existing and proposed houses are setback substantially from the street lot line. The addition of an attached garage requires a longer driveway for this house location. Most of the ancillary hardcover items are proposed to be removed, leaving the question of the detached garage for discussion. There is no question that the detached garage will provide for added storage considering that the attached garage is barely 21'x22'. If the detached garage and sidewalks/decks associated with it were removed, hardcover could be reduced by approximately 600 s.f. while still leaving a functional backup apron alongside the driveway. This 600 s.f. reduction would translate to about a 6% reduction in 75-250' hardcover to around 29%. Applicant should be asked to comment on the need for keeping the detached garage. Grading & Drainage Plan The grading plan retains existing grades in the 0-75' zone. Along the west property boundary the slope drops off steeply to the neighboring property; a swale is proposed to direct drainage to the north within applicants' property to alleviate runoff concerns, and then will be directed to the applicants' lakeshore yard rather than the neighbor's yard. Along the east side of the property, existing retaining walls north of the detached garage are proposed to be removed and replaced with a slope ranging from 3:1 (acceptable) to much steeper (not recommended) -portions of these walls should probably remain (see photos 9 and 10). This would slightly increase hardcover in the 75-250' zone. The City Engineer's comments are attached as Exhibit L, primarily dealing with erosion and sediment control. Practical Difficulties Statement Please review the applicants' practical difficulties statement and narrative attached as Exhibit B. Practical Difficulties Analysis In considering applications for variance, the Planning Commission shall consider the effect of the proposed variance upon the health, safety and welfare of the community, existing and anticipated traffic conditions, light and air, danger of fire, risk to the public safety, and the effect on values of property in the surrounding area. The Planning Commission shall consider recommending approval for variances from the literal provisions of the Zoning Code in instances where their strict enforcement would cause practical difficulties because of circumstances unique to the individual property under consideration, and shall recommend approval only when it is demonstrated that such actions will be in keeping with the spirit and intent of the Orono Zoning Code. Staff Review of Practical Difficulties 12-3554 May 18, 2012 Page 4 of 5 The lot was legally created and the existing house built prior to the adoption of the current zoning standards. The property owner is proposing to build a new home with a small attached garage and proposes to keep the existing detached garage while adhering to the 15% lot coverage limit (as proposed the structural coverage is about 30 s.f. over the 15% limit, so tweaking will be needed). The overages in existing and proposed hardcover are to some extent a function of the existing house location and the topography of the site, with the house resting on a high point between the lake and the street. Certain retaining walls are needed to preserve the hilly nature of the site. The proposed 2-story house will not alter the essential character of the locality. Economic considerations alone are not a factor in this variance request. The topographic conditions and house location at more than double the required setback from the road are factors unique to this property, although not uncommon for similarly situated lakeshore lots in the LR-lC district. Granting of some level of hardcover variance is necessary to allow a reasonably sized home to be built on the property. Forcing the home to be closer to the road to reduce driveway hardcover would not be appropriate given the site topography and the location of adjacent residences. The proposed house will not impair health, safety, comfort, morals, or in any way be contrary to the intent of the zoning code. Granting the hardcover variance is not merely a convenience to the applicant but is necessary to alleviate a practical difficulty. Allowing the detached garage to remain is not quite as easy a decision. The City has required substantial hardcover removals on similarly sized lots. If the detached garage is to remain, applicants should be required to provide measures to mitigate the hardcover excesses. Such measures might include rain gardens or lakeshore buffers. Issues for Consideration 1. Does the Planning Commission find that that the applicant proposes to use the subject property in a reasonable manner which is not permitted by an official control? 2. Does the Planning Commission find that the variances, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the neighborhood? 3. Is the proposed house appropriately sized, or should it be reduced (or the detached garage eliminated) in order to reduce the impacts and the degree of the hardcover variance? 4. What mitigation measures should be required if the detached garage is allowed to remain? 5. Are there any other issues or concerns with this application? Staff Recommendation 1) Staff recommends approval of the lot area and width variances. 12-3554 May 18, 2012 Page 5 of 5 2) Staff recommends approval of 0-75' and 75-250' hardcover variances at a level Planning Commission finds acceptable. If reductions from the current proposed levels are recommended, then a revised site plan should be requested. Measures to mitigate the hardcover excesses should be proposed if the detached garage is allowed to remain in place. 3) Applicant is advised that there are likely going to be street parking difficulties during the construction process. This neighborhood has narrow roads, and a number of new home construction projects are anticipated within a block or two of the site for the next two years. 4) Approval is subject to all recommendations of the City Consulting Engineer in his letter dated May 17, 2012. Planning Commission options for action: 1. Recommend approval as presented, or with specific conditions or revisions; or 2. Recommend denial, stating reasons; or 3. Table for more information or submittal of a revised plan (provide applicant with specific direction).

An application will not be considered complete or placed on any meeting agendas until this form is complete and submitted to the City. Minnesota State Statutes Section 462.357, Subdivision 6(2) requires that practical difficulties be demonstrated in order for a variance to be granted. The difficulties must be unique to the property as variances run with the land and not the land owner. Personal and economic situations are not considered valid practical difficulties. In order for an application to be heard by the Planning Commission and City Council practical difficulties having merit must be demonstrated. HOW DO I PROVE A PRACTICAL DIFFICULTY? This form has 12 points outlining the basis City staff uses to determine if practical difficulties exist and how the variance will affect the surrounding community. To prove practical difficulties, address all the relevant points listed below and answer them as clearly as possible. Since you are requesting the code exception, you have the burden of proving that the variance is justified. The information the City receives is what is used in determining a denial or approval recommendation. If you leave something out it will not be considered. Please address each of these difficulties criteria as they relate to the request, if they do not apply, write NIA in the space provided: 1. 'The property owner proposes to use the property in a reasonable manner not permitted by the Zoning Chapter." We believe our proposed use is reasonable. 2. '~11}~ pBgt\t .9fJhe.)aQ...d.O\j\''1er js_due tQ cir~\JIJ1Stc3qces, unique to his property not created by the landowner." we believe thrs to be the case. 3. "The variance, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the l9cality." - This variance will not alter the essential character of the locality. The request, if granted. will result in a modest increase in structure to the 15% limit, but will also result in almost~a 4. "Economic consi~erations alone do not constitute practical difficulties if reasoriable use for the property exists under the terms of the Zoning Chapter." 500 sq ft decrease in hardcover. True 5. "Practical difficulties include, but are not limited to, inadequate access to direct sunlight for solar energy systems. Variances shall be granted for earth sheltered construction as defined in Minnesota Statutes, Section 116J.06, Subd. 2, when in harmony with this Chapter." 6. "The Board of Appeals and Adjustments or the Council may not permit as a variance any use that is not allowed under this Chapter for property in the zone where the affected person's land is located." Do not believe this to be applicable~ Variance Application Updated: January 31, 2012 -18 -#3554 RECEIVED APR 1 6 2012 CITY OF ORONO 7. "The Board or Council may permit as a variance the temporary use of a one-family dwelling as a two-family dwelling." 8. "The special conditions applying to the structure or land in question are peculiar to such property or immediately adjoining property." 9. "The conditions do not apply generally to other land or structures in the district in which said land is located." A 10. "The granting of the application is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a substantial property right of the applicant." Granting of this application will allow us to replace our sub-standard home with one more suitable to our needs. 11. "The granting of the proposed variance will not in any way impair health, safety, comfort, morals, or in any other respect be contrary to the intent of the Zoning Code." We believe this to be the case. 12. "The granting of such variance will not merely serve as a convenience to the applicant, but is necessary to alleviate demonstrable difficulty." While staying within the 15% of gross area allowed for structure, we have also managed to eliminate almost 500 sg. ft. of hardcover. We believe we have reduced hardcover to the practical maximum and therefore have a demonstrable difficulty to achieve~o~r~goal. Practical Difficulties Statement Should you feel the practical difficulties cannot fully be described in the above criteria, describe the practical difficulties preventing compliance with Zoning Ordinance requirements in the following lines (attach additional sheets if necessary): See attached statement Variance Application Updated: January 31, 2012 RECEIVED APR 1 6 2012 CITY OF ORONO Practical Difficulties Statement We purchased the house and property from my wife's parents in 1999. Our intent at that time was to use the property as a summer home at least until I retired from the Department of Defense. At that point we planned to decide whether we would move to Minnesota in retirement, or continue to live part time in Minnesota and part time in Washington DC. If we were to move from the Washington, DC area, our intent was to renovate the house and bring it up to modem standards. Upon purchasing the property, however, we were faced with the immediate need to repair the existing garage. It is a concrete block structure, two walls of which are dug into the ground. One of the walls had buckled over the years from ground pressure, and the entire structure was in danger of collapse. We have since put more than $30,000 dollars worth of repairs into the garage: new concrete block wall; new floor and apron; new retaining wall from the garage to Cherry A venue; new concrete steps alongside the garage from ground level to the attic level; two new garage doors and a service door; insulation, skylights, and new windows in the attic; and a new electric circuit from the house to the garage. I have since retired, and we have decided to move to our property on Lake Minnetonka. While we understand that we could probably get approval for a renovation with little difficulty, we have gradually come to the realization that tear-down and rebuild is the best option for us. The house is poorly insulated; the HV AC, electrical, and plumbing systems are all problematic, windows all need to be replaced -just to mention some of the problems. - Thus, our goal is build a new house with an attached garage and to keep the existing garage. We want an attached garage because we are at retirement age and an attached garage only makes sense in Minnesota. We also want to keep the existing garage because it is now in excellent condition, and also because it will be used for a third vehicle and as a workshop. Additionally, because the garage is built into a hillside, ifwe were to remove it we would also have to expend significant resources to replace it with some kind of substantial retaining wall system. The practical difficulty arises because even though we can meet the 15% structural limit (which is about 2,200 sq ft), we cannot meet the 25% hardcover requirement in Zone B. The existing property is already significantly out of hardcover compliance and has been since well before we purchased the property. Our proposed plans stay within the 2,200 sq ft limit of structure (house, attached garage, and existing garage). We have nevertheless managed to reduce overall hardcover in Zone B by almost 500 sq ft, from about 40% to 35%. Our bottom line is simply this: Had we decided earlier to build our retirement home on our property, we would have tom down the existing garage, rather than repairing it, and would have designed a retirement home of a size much closer to the allowable 2,200 sq ft #3554 RECEIVED I APR 1 6 2012 CITY OF ORONO of structure. Now, having already made considerable investment in the existing garage, we have chosen to design a somewhat smaller home to remain within the allowed 15% of gross area of structure. We believe we have stripped away as much hardcover as is practically possible. We are prepared, however, to work with the city to explore other ways to mitigate hardcover, such as a permeable driveway and/or some type of rain garden. u~~ Douglas M.

(a) Hardcover allotment. The following hardcover restrictions apply to all properties in the Shoreland Overlay District: (1) Hardcover zones. a. Within 75 feet of the Ordinary High Water Level (OHWL) of any lake or tributary, no hard cover or impervious surface shall be placed, located or constructed , except for driveways, stairways, lifts, landings and lockboxes as regulated elsewhere in this Code . b. Between 75 feet and 250 feet of the OHWL , there shall be no greater than 25 percent hardcover. c. Between 250 feet and 500 feet of the OHWL there shall be no greater than 30 percent hardcover. d. Between 500 feet and 1,000 feet of the OHWL there shall be no greater than 35 percent hardcover. (2) Zone to zone credit/debit. a. The allowed allotment of hardcover for the 250 feet to 500 feet zone or the 500 feet to 1,000 feet zone may be increased up to an unused square footage of allowable hardcover of a zone closer to the OHWL. b . Unused hardcover cannot be transferred to a zone closer to the OHWL. c. If hardcover is credited from one zone to another, additional hardcover may not be later added to the zone closer to the OHWL if the p resence of such hardcover would have prevented the crediting. d. The allowed hardcover in any zone shall be decreased by the amount of legal non-conforming hardcover in the zone next closer to the OHWL. (b) Additional hardcover provisions. (1) Overhangs: a. Where an overhang is supported by a post, the area under the overhang to the outer edge of the post shall be considered as hardcover. b. All but the outer two feet of an unsupported overhang ten feet or more off the ground shall be considered hardcover. The following drawings are included for illustrative purposes: [Drawing 1]. (2) Decks: Hardcover may be added under a deck attached to a principal structure if the deck is conforming or legal nonconforming and the added hardcover is otherwise permitted. (3) Driveway easements: The following principles apply where one or more properties (secondary property) gain its driveway access from an adjacent property (primary property) by virtue of a driveway easement: a. That portion of the driveway on the primary property that serves both the primary and secondary property is considered hardcover for the primary property. b. That portion of the driveway on the primary property that serves only the secondary property is not considered hardcover for either the primary or secondary property . http:/ !library .municode.com/print.aspx?clientID= 13094&HTMRequest=http%3a%2f%2fli . .. 5/18/2012 Municode Page 2 of 5 c. The area of the driveway on the primary property that serves only the secondary property shall not be included in the lot area of the primary property for purposes of calculating hardcover. The following drawings are included for illustrative purposes: [Drawing 2]. (c) Future improvements. The following items shall be included in hardcover calculations regardless of whether they are proposed to be construction at the time of building permit application: (1) Proof of a two-car garage (detached or attached). (2) For all garages a driveway, subject to the standards in paragraph (d) of this section. (3) A 24 inch wide sidewalk from the front door to the driveway. (4) The minimum stairway or landing at all exterior doors as required by the building code. (d) Driveways. All driveways shall comply with the following minimum dimensional standards: (1) Driveways serving end loading garages shall maintain a driveway apron with minimum width equal to the width of the overhead door(s). For purposes of this section, a driveway apron is that portion of a driveway that extends 15 feet from the garage door(s) on an end loading garage. (2) Driveways serving side loading garages shall provide a minimum turn around or back up depth of 20 feet, as measured from the garage door(s). (3) Minimum driveway taper ratio shall be 2:1. (4) Driveways shall be at least eight feet in width at the street or private road. (5) A turnaround shall be provided for a driveway with direct access to an arterial or collector roadway, or for a side load garage as determined necessary by the city planner. The minimum dimensions of the turnaround shall be eight feet in width by 12 feet in depth. (6) "Wheel strip" driveways are allowed, but the entire width of the driveway (from outside to outside of the strips) will be considered hardcover. The following drawing is included for illustrative purposes: [Drawing 3]. (e) Compliance. (1) It is unlawful to convert, enlarge, or alter any structure or use any structure in a manner that violates the hardcover limitations. (2) Nonconforming hardcover may not be relocated or expanded in any way unless the property is brought into conformance except: a. A roofline may be changed but the roof may not be extended over unroofed portions of the structure. b. An additional story may be added over roofed portions of a structure. c. An open or screened porch may be converted into a two or three season porch or year round living space (including replacing a post foundation with a perimeter foundation) provided hardcover is not increased.

The Grading Plan is dated February 22, 2012 and the Variance Application is dated April 12, 2012. Based on our review, we offer the following comments for your consideration: 1. This project will disturb more than 25 cubic yards of material. Therefore, a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) must be submitted for review in accordance with Sec. 79 of the City Code. The minimum $2,000 sediment and erosion control financial security should also be required of the owner for this permit. 2. The siltfence should be extended south along the west property line and across the front of the property, with an opening for the driveway, to prevent any sediment leaving the property. 3. Due to the length of time required for a house reconstruction project, a rock construction entrance should be placed at the driveway entrance to prevent sediment from being tracked onto City streets by construction vehicles. 4. If any sediment is tracked onto City streets , the Owner/Contractor should be required to reclaim the sediment via scraping and/or street sweeping by the end of each day. 5 . Disturbed green areas should be restored with seed or sod within 7 days of grading completion . 6. Provide top of wall and bottom of wall elevations and dimensions on the retaining wall in key locations (i.e. grade changes, alignment changes). Walls four feet or greater in height must be designed by a licensed Professional Engineer. Multi-level walls spaced less than double the height of the bottom wall apart shall be considered one wall, and the height shall be determined from the base of the bottom wall to the top of the upper wall. 7. The applicant will be required to obtain a Minnehaha Creek Watershed District permit for erosion control. A copy of the permit should be submitted to the City after MCWD approval.

Steve Englund was present on behalf of Douglas Englund. Gaffron stated the applicants are requesting the following approvals for construction of a new residence to replace the existing residence on the property: 1. Lot area variance to allow construction on a lot of 14,799 square feet area where 21,780 square feet is required. 2. Lot width variance to allow construction on a lot of 52 feet defined width where 100 feet is required. ________________ Page 16 MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING Monday, May 21, 2012 6:30 o'clock p.m. 3 . 0-75 foot hardcover variance to allow 2.62 percent existing hardcover to remain in place where no hardcover is normally allowed. 4 . 75-250 foot hardcover variance to allow 35.0 percent hardcover where 39.65 percent hardcover exists and only 25 percent is normally allowed. Gaffron noted hardcover in the 0-75 foot zone is currently at 110 square feet, which includes wood steps , a concrete wall and pad, and a small pump house. The applicants are proposing no change in the 0-75 foot zone. Hardcover in the 75-250 foot zone is currently 4,240 square feet and consists of a 1,369 square foot house, a 471 square foot detached garage, a 1,077 square foot driveway, and decks, sidewalks and retaining walls totaling 1,287 square feet. The proposed house at 1,690 square feet is somewhat larger than the existing house and includes an attached garage and covered front stoop. The existing retaining walls north of the detached garage are proposed to be removed. The deck on the lake side of the house will be much smaller than the existing deck. In reviewing whether additional removals are possible, it should be noted that the existing and proposed houses are set back substantially from the street lot line . The addition of an attached garage requires a longer driveway for this house location. Most of the ancillary hardcover items are proposed to be removed except for the detached garage. Gaffron indicated the grading plan retains the existing grades in the 0-75 foot zone. Along the west property boundary the slope drops off steeply to the neighboring property. A swale is proposed to direct drainage to the north within the applicant's property to alleviate runoff concerns and then will be directed to the applicants' lakeshore yard rather than the neighbor 's yard. Along the east side of the property, the existing retaining walls north of the detached garage are proposed to be removed and replaced with a slope ranging from 3 : 1 to much steeper slopes . Gaffron stated it might be best that portions of those walls remain. The proposal would slightly increase hardcover in the 75-250 foot zone. Staff recommends approval of the lot area and width variances as well as approval of 0-75 foot and 75- 250 foot hardcover variances at a level the Planning Commission finds acceptable. If reductions from the current proposed levels are recommended, then a revised site plan should be requested. Measures to mitigate the hardcover excesses should be proposed if the detached garage is allowed to remain in place. The applicant is advised that there is likely going to be street parking difficulties during the construction process. This neighborhood has narrow roads and a number of new home construction projects are anticipated within a block or two of the site for the next two years. Gaffron noted that approval is subject to all recommendations of the City Consulting Engineer in his letter dated May 17 , 2012. Schoenzeit asked whether the existing garage meets the setback. Gaffron indicated it does not. Gaffron displayed pictures of the property. Gaffron pointed out the location of the swale on the property and the retaining walls. __________________ Page 17 MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING Monday, May 21, 2012 6:30 o'clock p.m. Englund noted the retaining walls will not be removed. Gaffron noted that will change the hardcover numbers slightly but that in his view the retaining walls should remain. The proposed deck will be smaller than what currently exists. Leskinen asked whether the decking would be removed . Gaffron indicated it is proposed to be removed. Gaffron stated if the existing garage remains, the existing stairway will likely remain . Levang asked if gutters would assist with the water runoff issues . Gaffron stated if the swale is constructed according to the grading plans , gutters probably will not add much to the mitigation of the water issues. Gaffron commented there might be room for a rain garden as well. Leskinen asked whether the home will have a basement. Gaffron indicated it would. Gaffron displayed a sketch of the proposed home and views from the lake and street. Gaffron noted the new residence would be two stories. Steve Englund stated he is appearing tonight on behalf of his brother. Englund stated the retaining walls will remain and the concrete pad down by the lake will be removed. Englund indicated they would like to save the existing garage since it will be difficult to live with a two-car garage and his brother has already invested a fair amount of money into the garage . As it relates to parking, there are some empty lots in the neighborhood that would be able to handle the parking during construction . Chair Schoenzeit opened the public hearing at 9:15 p .m. There were no public comments relating to this application . Chair Schoenzeit closed the public hearing at 9: 15 p .m. Landgraver asked what the existing garage would be used for . Englund indicated it would be for storage and a third vehicle . Gaffron suggested the existing garage match the architecture of the new house. Gaffron noted City Code does require accessory structures to have similar architecture as the residence . Schoenzeit stated in his view it is very reasonable for the City to request that the existing garage and new home have similar architecture . Schoenzeit asked what the hardcover on the lot will be. Gaffron indicated hardcover would amount to 3,750 square feet. The proposed hardcover would be at ________________ Page 18 38.1 percent. MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING Monday, May 21, 2012 6:30 o'clock p.m. Levang noted some of the calculations will need to be adjusted due to some of the hardcover removals. Levang noted there is an entrance on the front and back but no entrance on the side. Landgraver stated the Planning Commission could ask for some additional runoff mitigation. Englund indicated his brother is amenable to rain gardens and a lakeshore buffer . Landgraver asked whether Staff has any recommendations for mitigation . Gaffron stated there are some calculations that can be made by the engineers to determine whether a rain garden would be necessary. Schoenzeit suggested the applicant work with Staff on that item. Schoenzeit moved, Landgraver seconded, to recommend approval of Application #12-3554, Douglas and Ann Englund, 3884 Cherry Avenue, granting of variances to lot width, lot area, and hardcover in the 0-75 foot zone and the 75-250 foot zone, subject to Staff and City Engineer recommendations; subject to the applicant, prior to the City Council meeting, submitting revised plans not exceeding 15 percent structural coverage; subject to the existing garage being updated to match the architecture of the new house; subject to the old garage turnaround hardcover being removed; and working with Staff to determine an appropriate size for a rain garden.

MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING Monday, May 21, 2012 6:30 o'clock p.m. Levang noted some of the calculations will need to be adjusted due to some of the hardcover removals. Lev ang noted there is an entrance on the front and back but no entrance on the side . Landgraver stated the Planning Commission could ask for some additional runoff mitigation. Englund indicated his brother is amenable to rain gardens and a lakeshore buffer . Landgraver asked whether Staff has any recommendations for mitigation.

Douglas Marz Engluilid First Middle Last 3884 Cherry Avenue Address Orono Minnesota 55364 City State Zip Variance Application Updated: January 31, 2012 703-568-4994 Phone RECEIVED APR 1 6 2012 CITY OF ORONO Practical Difficulties Statement We purchased the house and property from my wife's parents in 1999. Our intent at that time was to use the property as a summer home at least until I retired from the Department of Defense. At that point we planned to decide whether we would move to Minnesota in retirement, or continue to live part time in Minnesota and part time in Washington DC. If we were to move from the Washington, DC area, our intent was to renovate the house and bring it up to modern standards. Upon purchasing the property, however, we were faced with the immediate need to repair the existing garage. It is a concrete block structure, two walls of which are dug into the ground. One of the walls had buckled over the years from ground pressure, and the entire structure was in danger of collapse. We have since put about $30,000 dollars worth of repairs into the garage: new concrete block wall; new floor and apron; new retaining wall from the garage to Cherry A venue; new concrete steps alongside the garage from ground level to the attic level; two new garage doors and a service door; and a new electric circuit from the house to the garage. I have since retired, and we have decided to retire to our property on Lake Minnetonka. While we understand that we could probably get approval for a renovation with little difficulty, we have gradually come to the realization that tear-down and rebuild is the best option for us. The house is poorly insulated, the HV AC, electrical, and plumbing systems are all problematic, windows all need to be replaced -just to mention some of the problems. Thus, our goal is build a new house with an attached garage and to keep the existing garage. We want an attached garage because we are at retirement age and an attached garage only makes sense in Minnesota. We also want to keep the existing garage because it is now in excellent condition, and also because it will be used for a third vehicle and as a workshop. Additionally, if we were to remove it we would also have to expend the resources to replace it with some kind of retaining wall system. The practical difficulty arises because even though we can meet the 15% structural limit (which is about 2,200 sq ft), we cannot meet the 25% hardcover requirement in Zone B. The existing property is already significantly out of hardcover compliance and has been for many years. Our proposed plans stay within the 2,200 sq ft limit of structure (house, attached garage, and existing garage). We have nevertheless managed to reduce overall hardcover in Zone B by almost 500 sq ft, from about 40% to 35%. We believe we have stripped away as much hardcover as is practically possible. We are prepared, however, to work with the city to explore other ways to mitigate hardcover, such as a permeable driveway and/or some type of rain garden. #3554 Practical Difficulties Documentation Form 1. "The property owner proposes to use the property in a reasonable manner not permitted by the Zoning Chapter." We believe our proposed use is eminently reasonable 2." "The plight of the landowner is due to circumstances unique to his property not created by the landowner " We believe this to be the case. 3. "The variance, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the locality." We do not believe that this variance will alter the essential character of the locality. The request, if granted, will result in a modest increase in structure, to the 15% limit, but will also result in almost a 500 sq ft decrease in hardcover. 4. "Economic considerations alone do not constitute practical difficulties if reasonable use for the property exists under the terms of the Zoning Chapter." True. 5. "Practical difficulties include, but are not limited to, inadequate access to direct sunlight for solar energy systems. Variances shall be granted for earth sheltered construction as defined in Minnesota Statutes, Section 116J.06, Subd. 2, when in harmony with this Chapter." NIA 6 "The Board of Appeals and Adjustments or the Council may not permit as a variance any use that is not allowed under this Chapter for property in the zone where the affected person's land is located." Do not believe this to be applicable 7. "The Board or Council may permit as a variance the temporary use of a one-family dwelling as a two-family dwelling." NIA #3554 8. "The special conditions applying to the structure or land in question are peculiar to such property or immediately adjoining property." NIA 9. "The conditions do not apply generally to other land or structures in the district in which said land is located." NIA 10. "The granting of the application is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a substantial property right of the applicant." 11. "The granting of the proposed variance will not in any way impair health, safety, comfort, morals, or in any other respect be contrary to the intent of the Zoning Code." We believe this to be the case. 12. "The granting of such variance will not merely serve as a convenience to the applicant, but is necessary to alleviate demonstrable difficulty."

We will be back in Minnesota for the Planning Commission meeting in May. Some questions: -I sent in the addresses and mailing labels for the Certified Property Owners List about a month ago. Would like to confirm that you have it. -Gronberg Surveyors told me they had dropped off the required survey documents with you. Would like to confirm that you have them and that they meet your requirements . -You left me with the understanding that our meeting last August would suffice for the Pre-Application meeting . Is this still valid? -I plan to cover the variance fee and the escrow amounts by personal check. OK?

Regards, Doug Englund 703-568-4994 Doug.englund@gmail.com #3554 RECEIVED MAR 1 6 2012 CITY OF ORONO Orono City Hall 2750 Kelley Parkway Orono , MN 55356 Attn: Planning and Zoning Office Chris , Thank you for returning my call and for the useful discussion. February 9, 2011 I have enclosed for your files a copy of the survey that was done for us in 2005 by Gronberg and Associates , along with their hard cover analysis. Nothing has changed appreciably since the survey was done. We look forward to working with you if we decide to rebuild or renovate.

Our initial review brought up a couple of questions : • Hardcover. According to the survey and hardcover calculations dated 10-31-2005, the 75-250 ' zone has 38 .96% existing hardcover, where 25% is allowed. You mention the footprint of the proposed home will be smaller than existing, but an additional, attached garage is shown. This also requires hardcover changes to the driveway and sidewalk configurations which adds additional hardcover to the property. Even if the overall hardcover is reduced , if the result is not 25% a variance will be required. • Lot Coverage. You mention keeping the lot coverage to 15%. It is not clear from the preliminary drawings what you are removing to achieve this (hardcover or structure). According to the information we have it appears a hardcover variance will be required . Staff will not likely support a hardcover variance which includes a secondary garage (an excess driveway to serve the additional garage). I have attached the variance application packet. The variance application fee is $700 (which is not refundable). In addition a $2,500 escrow is required . The first $500 of the variance application fee includes a "credit" toward engineering and legal review . Any engineering or legal bills which exceed the $500 credit are passed through to you . You are required to pay these bills . The application escrow is a security to assure any pass-through engineering or legal bills are paid . We don 't draw down on the escrow. After the variance process is complete , we can apply the $2,500 escrow toward the building permit escrow . Upon notification from you the pr'oject is complete (which usually means the final certificate of occupancy is issued and/or an as-built survey is approved) I verify all pass-through bills are paid and the escrow can be refunded to you . Please let me know if you have any additional questions.

I hav e attached a copy of the design. The plan includes a new house with a reduced footprint compared to the existing house , and an attached two-car garage. By reducing the footprint of the new house somewhat, we have been able to retain the existing garage and still keep the overall amount of structure to fifteen percent of the lot area. I realize we need to go through the formal process before we can get approval , but I would like to get an inkling of whether we 're on the right track before we invest in engineering drawings and start the permit process .
