and legally described as: Lots 1 and 2, Block 11, Saga Hill Revised (hereinafter the "Property"); and
WHEREAS, the Applicants have made application to the City of Orono for variances from

lake access stair resulting in 209 square feet of hardcover and which replaces an existing stair encroaching
into the adjacent undeveloped City right-of-way within 75 feet of the OWHL of Lake Minnetonka; and
WHEREAS, the Applicants have made application to the City of Orono for a conditional use
permit (hereinafter the "CUP") pursuant to Orono Municipal Zoning Code Section 78-966 to allow
grading within 75' of the OWHL of Lake Minnetonka for construction of the new stair system and
grading to correct a drainage issue adjacent to the existing home on the Property; and
WHEREAS, after due published notice and mailed notice in accordance with Minnesota Statutes
and the Orono, Minnesota, City Code, public hearings were held by the Orono Planning Commission on
September 16, and October 21, 2013 at which times all persons desiring to be heard concerning this
application were given the opportunity to speak thereon.
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of Orono, Minnesota:
FINDINGS
This application was reviewed as Zoning File number 13-3623.
180539
6485
2. The Property is located in the LR-113 One Family Lakeshore Residential Zoning District
which requires a minimum lot area of 1.0 acre and a minimum lot width of 140'.
3. The Planning Commission reviewed this application at a public hearing held on October
21, 2013 and voted 7 for and 0 against on a motion to approve the CUP for grading and
the hardcover variance. The Planning Commission finds that the following factors
support the granting of the requested variance and CUP:
a. The Property contains 30,378 square feet in area (0.70 acre) and has a defined width
of 193-feet at the lake and 147-feet at the 75-foot setback.
b. The home on the Property was constructed in 2007.
c. The Applicants have proposed to remove an existing stair which encroaches into the
adjacent undeveloped City right-of-way.
d. The Applicants' proposed stair system has been designed in a way which offers
screening of the stabs with a natural -looking slope as viewed from the lake.
e. With a total of 19% overall hardcover, the Property will conform to the hardcover
limitations of 25% for a Tier 1 lot. Structural coverage limitations will also be met.
f. The Applicants' proposed stair system and grading will not alter the essential
character of the neighborhood and will result in minimal or no negative impact on
adjacent properties.
g. The Applicants' project will not adversely impact views of the lake currently enjoyed
by the adjacent properties; views of the Property from the lake will be improved with
the new stair.
h. The Applicants' request is in harmony with the purpose and intent of the ordinance.
The Applicants have demonstrated that enforcing the provisions of the Zoning
Ordinance deprives the Applicants of the reasonable use of their Property.
j. The proposed grading within the 75-foot setback area will not have an adverse impact
on surrounding lands. Drainage patterns for runoff leaving the site will not be
significantly altered. The approved grading plan has been designed to address the
Applicants' drainage issues and does not adversely impact the natural character of the
lakeshore.
4. The City Council has considered this application including the findings and
recommendation of the Planning Commission, reports by City staff, comments by the
Applicants and the public, and the effect of the proposed variance and CUP on the health,
safety and welfare of the community.
5. The City Council finds that the conditions existing on this Property are peculiar to it and
do not apply generally to other property in this zoning district; that granting the variance
and CUP would not adversely affect traffic conditions, light, air nor pose a fire hazard or
other danger to neighboring property; would not merely serve as a convenience to the
Applicants, but is necessary to alleviate a practical difficulty; is necessary to preserve a
2
180539
substantial property right of the Applicants; and would be in keeping with the spirit and
intent of the Zoning Code and Comprehensive Plan of the City.

Application Summary:
The applicant has requested conditional use permit (CUP) and variance approvals in order to conduct land
alterations within 75 feet of the lake to correct drainage issues on the property and to construct a new lake
access stair. The applicant's original plan has been revised to address the City engineer's comments.
Planning Commission Recommendation
On October 21, 2013, the Planning Commission voted 7 to 0 to recommend approval of the CUP and variance
requests based on the revised plan.
Planning Staff Recommendation
Staff finds the revised grading plan achieves the goal of positive drainage away from the house yet preserves
the lakeshore slope consistent with the City's goals. The consulting City engineer has reviewed and approved
the most recent revisions. Therefore Staff recommends approval of the CUP and variance based on the
revised plans.

NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of Orono,
FINDINGS
1. This application was reviewed as Zoning File number 13-3623.
Page 1 of 5
2. The Property is located in the LR-1 B One Family Lakeshore Residential Zoning
District which requires a minimum lot area of 1.0 acre and a minimum lot width of
140'.
3. The Planning Commission reviewed this application at a public hearing held on
October 21, 2013 and voted 7 for and 0 against on a motion to approve the CUP
for grading and the hardcover variance. The Planning Commission finds that the
following factors support the granting of the requested variance and CUP:
a. The Property contains 30,378 square feet in area (0.70 acre) and has a
defined width of 193-feet at the lake and 147-feet at the 75-foot setback.
b. The home on the Property was constructed in 2007.
c. The Applicants have proposed to remove an existing stair which encroaches
into the adjacent undeveloped City right-of-way.
d. The Applicants' proposed stair system has been designed in a way which
offers screening of the stairs with a natural -looking slope as viewed from the
lake.
e. With a total of 19% overall hardcover, the Property will conform to the
hardcover limitations of 25% for a Tier 1 lot. Structural coverage limitations
will also be met.
f. The Applicants' proposed stair system and grading will not alter the essential
character of the neighborhood and will result in minimal or no negative impact
on adjacent properties.
g. The Applicants' project will not adversely impact views of the lake currently
enjoyed by the adjacent properties; views of the Property from the lake will be
improved with the new stair.
h. The Applicants' request is in harmony with the purpose and intent of the
ordinance.
i. The Applicants have demonstrated that enforcing the provisions of the Zoning
Ordinance deprives the Applicants of the reasonable use of their Property.
j. The proposed grading within the 75-foot setback area will not have an
adverse impact on surrounding lands. Drainage patterns for runoff leaving
the site will not be significantly altered. The approved grading plan has been
Page 2 of 5
designed to address the Applicants' drainage issues and does not adversely
impact the natural character of the lakeshore.
4. The City Council has considered this application including the findings and
recommendation of the Planning Commission, reports by City staff, comments by
the Applicants and the public, and the effect of the proposed variance and CUP
on the health, safety and welfare of the community.
5. The City Council finds that the conditions existing on this Property are peculiar to
it and do not apply generally to other property in this zoning district; that granting
the variance and CUP would not adversely affect traffic conditions, light, air nor
pose a fire hazard or other danger to neighboring property; would not merely
serve as a convenience to the Applicants, but is necessary to alleviate a practical
difficulty; is necessary to preserve a substantial property right of the Applicants;
and would be in keeping with the spirit and intent of the Zoning Code and
Comprehensive Plan of the City.
CONCLUSIONS, ORDER AND CONDITIONS
Based upon one or more of the above findings, the Orono City Council hereby grants a
variance to Orono Municipal Zoning Code Section 78-1680 to allow 209 square feet hardcover
for a new lake access stair within 75' of the OHWL, variances from Orono Municipal Zoning
Code Sections 78-1279 and 78-1282 to allow construction of a new lake access stair
Minnetonka to replace an existing stair which encroaches into the adjacent undeveloped City
right-of-way; and a CUP pursuant to Orono Municipal Zoning Code Section 78-966 to allow
grading within 75' of the OWHL of Lake Minnetonka for construction of the new stair system and
grading and to correct a drainage issue next to the existing home on the Property; subject to the
following conditions:
Council approval is based on the survey/grading plan and stair plan submitted by the
Applicants and annotated by City staff, attached to this Resolution as Exhibits A & B.
Any amendments to the approved plans which are not in conformity with City codes will
require further Planning Commission and City Council review.
2. Proposed hardcover levels are conforming to the Tier 1 standards; no hardcover
variances are granted.
3. An administrative Zoning Permit for Major Land Alteration is required and shall be
obtained by the Applicants prior to the commencement of grading activities.
4. The Owner shall conform to the recommendations of the City Engineer.
Page 3 of 5
5. A double row of silt fencing shall be placed and maintained between the lakeward extent
of the grading activity and the lake.
6. The amount of fill brought onto the Property shall be monitored so as to ensure
compliance with the approved grading plan.
7. The Applicants shall submit an escrow in the amount to be determined by the City
Engineer for erosion control purposes with the application for Zoning Permit for Major
Land Alteration prior to commencement of grading activities.
8. Copies of Minnehaha Creek Watershed permits, if required, shall be provided to the City
prior to the issuance of the Zoning Permit for Major Land Alteration.
9. An as -built grading plan/survey showing conformance with the approved plan shall be
submitted prior to the final inspection of the site grading. Vegetation must be established
and final grading must be approved prior to the release of escrow monies.
10. Authorities granted by this resolution run with the Property not with the Applicants, but
are permissive only and must be exercised by obtaining a permit for the walls and stairs
and commencing construction of said project within one year of the date of Council
approval, or the variance and CUP will expire on that date (November 12, 2014).
11. Violation of or non-compliance with any of the terms and conditions of this resolution
shall constitute a violation of the zoning code, shall automatically terminate any authority
granted herein, and shall be punishable as a misdemeanor.
12. The undersigned Applicants have read, understand and hereby agree to the terms of
this resolution and on behalf of the Applicants and the Applicants' heirs, successors and
assigns, hereby agree to the recording of this resolution in the chain of title of the
Property.
Adopted by the Orono City Council on the 12`h day of November, 2013.

Background/Update
This application was before the Planning Commission at the September meeting where the
following was discussed: a Land Use Application for CUP and variance approvals in order to
conduct land alterations within 75 feet of the lake and construct a new lake access stair. At the
September meeting the applicants were directed to revise the grading plan to address their
drainage issues yet be respectful of the City's desire for a natural, unchanged shoreline. Staff
(including the staff and consulting city engineers) met with the applicant and homeowner on
site to work toward a solution. Alternatives were discussed for the shoreline, the result of which
is reflected in the revised grading plan, attached as Exhibit A.
In addition to the work proposed by the applicant the homeowner has requested the City
address some erosion issues in the undeveloped right-of-way ravine next to his property.
Following discussions during the inspection it was agreed upon that the homeowner offered to
provide labor and the City will provide the engineered plans and materials to address the
erosion in the ravine.

Conditional Use Permit
The Environmental and Land Use sections of the City's 2008- 2030 Comprehensive Plan discuss
lakeshore development. The guidance within this document suggests that changes or
modifications to the lakeshore which result in a significant change (in vegetation, topography,
etc) are to be discouraged; specifically speaking, Land Use Goal #1 and items #1 through 5 of the
Lakeshore Residential Land Use Policies (attached as Exhibit I & J).
City Code Section 78-966(a)(2) indicates that a CUP is required prior to engaging in activities that
include fill to elevate or alter the existing natural grade. By code, conditionally permitted uses
must be reviewed using the criteria found in Section 78-916. The city must find that the
proposed use at the proposed location is or will be:
(1) Consistent with the community management plan;
(2) Compliant with the zoning code, including any conditions imposed on specific uses as
required by article V, division 3 (i.e. 78-966 thru 78-968) of the City Code;
(3) Adequately served by police, fire, roads, and stormwater management;
(4) Provided with an adequate water supply and sewage disposal system;
(5) Not expected to generate excessive demand for public services at public cost;
(6) Compatible with the surrounding area as the area is used both presently and as it is
planned to be used in the future;
(7) Consistent with the character of the surrounding area, unless a change of character is
called for in the community management plan;
(8) Compatible with the character of buildings and site improvements in the surrounding
area, unless a change of character is called for in the community management plan;
(9) Not expected to substantially impair the use and enjoyment of the property in the
area or have a materially adverse impact on the property values in the area when
compared to the impairment or impact of generally permitted uses;
(10) Provided with screening and buffering adequate to mitigate undesirable views and
activities likely to disturb surrounding uses;
(11) Not create a nuisance which generates smoke, noise, glare, vibration, odors, fumes,
dust, electrical interference, general unsightliness, or other means;
(12) Not cause excessive non-residential traffic on residential streets, parking needs that
cause a demonstrable inconvenience to adjoining properties, traffic congestion, or
unsafe access;
(13) Designed to take into account the natural, scenic, and historic features of the area and
to minimize environmental impact;
(14) All exterior lighting shall be so directed so as not to cast glare toward or onto the
public right-of-way or neighboring residential uses or districts; and
(15) Not detrimental to the public health, public safety, or general welfare.
With regard to this application, items 1, 2, 6, 7, 9, 10 and 13 are generally applicable.
Re: Items 1 & 2. The revised proposed grading within the 75' setback takes into account the
preservation requirements within the comprehensive plan or zoning code.
Re: Items 6 & 7. These criteria essentially ask whether the proposed improvements are
appropriate and in character with the surrounding land and neighborhood. Staff believes the
proposed stair system within the 75-foot setback area will have little impact on surrounding
lands; the plan has been revised to better allow for vegetative screening.
FILE # 13-3623
15 Oct 2013
Page 3 of 3
Re: Item 9. This standard requires that the proposed improvements and grading must not
substantially impair the use and enjoyment of the property in the area or have an adverse
impact on the property values in the area when compared to the impairment or impact of
generally permitted uses. The proposed use of the property for a residence will not be changing
as a result of the proposed lake access stair with retaining walls so there should be no change in
the use and enjoyment of adjacent properties.
Re: Item 10. This requirement discusses the need to mitigate undesirable views. The applicant
has redesigned the stair to take advantage of the natural slope to the ravine to the north and
allow for screening to mitigate views from the lake.
Re: Item 13. This standard requires that the project be designed to take into account the
natural, scenic, and historic features of the area and to minimize environmental impact. The
proposed stair system will have minimal if any environmental impacts, further its location has
been revised to take advantage of the natural grade on the north side of the slope to the ravine.
The grading plan has been revised to address the homeowner's drainage issues and does not
adversely impact the natural character of the lakeshore.
Hardcover Variance
The proposed hardcover for the entire site is conforming at 19%. The applicant's revised
proposal results in 209 square feet of hardcover within the 0-75' zone. The applicant is
proposing to remove an existing stair where a portion encroaches into the City right-of-way; the
revised proposed stair is located in the same area yet is entirely within the subject property.
Due to the design which is set into the slope to avoid additional grading it exceeds the minimum
straight down access level of hardcover (which would be approximately 125 square feet) and
technically cannot be approved administratively.
Issues for Consideration
1. Does the Planning Commission find that that the property owner proposes to use the
property in a reasonable manner which is not permitted by an official control?
2. Does the Planning Commission find that the variance and CUP, if granted, will not
alter the essential character of the neighborhood?
3. Does the Commission find it necessary to impose conditions in order to mitigate the
impacts created by the granting of the requested variance and CUP?
4. Are there any other issues or concerns with this application?
Staff Recommendation
Staff finds the revised grading plan achieves the goal of positive drainage away from the house
yet preserves the lakeshore slope consistent with the City's goals. The consulting City engineer
has reviewed and approved the most recent revisions.
Staff recommends approval of the CUP and variance according to the revised plans.

Engineering Review #3 (10.11.2013)
As you are already aware, Engineer Mr. Robert E. Bean Jr. made recommendations on the above.
Attached are our proposed plans with corrections. Modified sheets are the numbers 2 and 3 .
We considered the directions given by city Engineer Mr. Robert and understand the importance of
minimizing the grading within the 75 feet set back from the lake shore.
We are proposing an alternative and less intrusive solution based on the direction given by Mr. Robert.
This new solution shows superficial drainage water spreading in a slightly larger area.
With this proposal we are trying to minimize the risk of land erosion on Mr. Lin's property and move the
erosion control system (RIPRAP) as far from the house and as close to the City Variance Chanel as
possible.
Allowing the water to fan out through the yard, versus a narrow run from the patio through the
backyard, will maintain the integrity of the yard and soil. Through the labor provided by the owner, the
material provided by the city to build the City Variance Chanel, and this new proposal, We hope to arrive
at a solution agreeable to all parties involved.

Melanie,
The grading in the 75' setback zone has been revised to not disturb the steep slope and to direct drainage to the ravine
on the north side of the property. Therefore, the proposed grading is acceptable, and you should be able to proceed for
the PC meeting. If you have any questions or comments, please contact me to discuss.
Thanks,

Background
The applicant, on behalf of the property owner, has applied for two separate applications
regarding 1330 Cherry Place, including a Zoning Permit for land alterations and new hardcover
which includes changes to the driveway, door landings, retaining/landscape walls and patios
outside of the 75 foot zone; and a Land Use Application for conditional use permit (hereinafter
the "CUP") and variance approvals in order to conduct land alterations within 75 feet of the lake
and construct a new lake access stair. The limit for administrative approval for land alterations
within the 0 to 75 foot zone is 10 cubic yards; the request exceeds 10 cubic yards. The variance
is required in part due to the total hardcover of the stair at 6 feet wide which includes the
supporting side walls. This exceeds the minimum width allowed which is a 4 foot wide stair.

Conditional Use Permit
The Environmental and Land Use sections of the City's 2008- 2030 Comprehensive Plan discuss
lakeshore development. The guidance within this document suggests that changes or
modifications to the lakeshore which result in a significant change (in vegetation, topography,
etc) are to be discouraged; specifically speaking, Land Use Goal #1 and items #1 through 5 of the
Lakeshore Residential Land Use Policies (attached as Exhibit I & J).
City Code Section 78-966(a)(2) indicates that a CUP is required prior to engaging in activities that
include fill to elevate or alter the existing natural grade. By code, conditionally permitted uses
must be reviewed using the criteria found in Section 78-916. The city must find that the
proposed use at the proposed location is or will be:
(1) Consistent with the community management plan;
(2) Compliant with the zoning code, including any conditions imposed on specific uses as
required by article V, division 3 (i.e. 78-966 thru 78-968) of the City Code;
(3) Adequately served by police, fire, roads, and stormwater management;
(4) Provided with an adequate water supply and sewage disposal system;
(5) Not expected to generate excessive demand for public services at public cost;
(6) Compatible with the surrounding area as the area is used both presently and as it is
planned to be used in the future;
(7) Consistent with the character of the surrounding area, unless a change of character is
called for in the community management plan;
(8) Compatible with the character of buildings and site improvements in the surrounding
area, unless a change of character is called for in the community management plan;
(9) Not expected to substantially impair the use and enjoyment of the property in the
area or have a materially adverse impact on the property values in the area when
compared to the impairment or impact of generally permitted uses;
(10) Provided with screening and buffering adequate to mitigate undesirable views and
activities likely to disturb surrounding uses;
(11) Not create a nuisance which generates smoke, noise, glare, vibration, odors, fumes,
dust, electrical interference, general unsightliness, or other means;
FILE # 13-3623
12 Sept 2013
Page 3 of 4
(12) Not cause excessive non-residential traffic on residential streets, parking needs that
cause a demonstrable inconvenience to adjoining properties, traffic congestion, or
unsafe access;
(13) Designed to take into account the natural, scenic, and historic features of the area and
to minimize environmental impact;
(14) All exterior lighting shall be so directed so as not to cast glare toward or onto the
public right-of-way or neighboring residential uses or districts; and
(15) Not detrimental to the public health, public safety, or general welfare.
With regard to this application, items 1, 2, 6, 7, 9, 10 and 13 are generally applicable.
Re: Items 1 & 2. The proposed grading within the 75' setback appears to be an attempt to
change the grade on the lakeshore in order to achieve a walk -out or look -out designed lot and
does not appear to be consistent with the comprehensive plan or zoning code.
Re: Items 6 & 7. These criteria essentially ask whether the proposed improvements are
appropriate and in character with the surrounding land and neighborhood. Staff believes the
proposed stair system within the 75-foot setback area will have little impact on surrounding
lands; it could possibly be redesigned to better allow for vegetative screening. However the
proposed grading is significant and does not appear to be in character with the surrounding
lands.
Re: Item 9. This standard requires that the proposed improvements and grading must not
substantially impair the use and enjoyment of the property in the area or have an adverse
impact on the property values in the area when compared to the impairment or impact of
generally permitted uses. The proposed use of the property for a residence will not be changing
as a result of the proposed lake access stair with retaining walls so there should be no change in
the use and enjoyment of adjacent properties. The grading activity is significant and while some
of the grading is necessary to alleviate a negative drainage issue near the foundation of the
house the majority of the grading appears to be contrary to the comprehensive plan's guiding
for lakeshore properties.
Re: Item 10. This requirement discusses the need to mitigate undesirable views. The applicant
should redesign the stair and provide a landscape plan which will serve to screen and mitigate
views of the retaining walls and stairs from the lake.
Re: Item 13. This standard requires that the project be designed to take into account the
natural, scenic, and historic features of the area and to minimize environmental impact. The
proposed stair system will have minimal if any environmental impacts. The grading proposed is
significant and may have a negative visual impact by exposing more of the residence to view
from the lake and reduce the natural character of the lakeshore. The applicant should revise the
lake access stair design and provide a detailed landscape plan which provides screening of the
improvements when viewed from the lake in a natural manner.
Hardcover Variance
The applicant's proposal results in 137 square feet of hardcover within the 0-75' zone over
existing levels. The proposed stair is approximately 4 feet wide, but when the supporting one
foot wide retaining walls are added to each side the stair system becomes 6 feet in width. The
applicant is proposing to remove an existing stair where a portion encroaches into the City right-
of-way; the proposed stair exceeds the minimum and cannot be approved administratively.

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 finds some of the proposed grading appears to be an attempt to achieve positive drainage
away from the house; however the grading on the lake side slope area seems to be an attempt
to create a larger outdoor patio living area and better view from the walk -out area of the
house. According to the Comp Plan and City Code Shoreland Zoning regulations, within the 75'
setback area grading should be very limited to only that which is minimal and necessary.
Staff would suggest the applicant redesign the grading plan to reduce the amounts and the
impacts of the grading. An administrative permit for grading will not be issued until the grading
within the 0-75' area is resolved and approved by the City. Staff would also suggest that the
applicant consider redesigning the lake access stair to either meet the minimum 4 foot width
requirement or meander the stairs to increase the opportunities to screen the stairs with
plantings.
Issues for Consideration
1. Does the Planning Commission find that that the property owner proposes to use the
property in a reasonable manner which is not permitted by an official control?
2. Does the Planning Commission find that the variance and CUP, if granted, will not
alter the essential character of the neighborhood?
3. Does the Commission find it necessary to impose conditions in order to mitigate the
impacts created by the granting of the requested variance and CUP?
4. Are there any other issues or concerns with this application?
Staff Recommendation
Staff recommends tabling the application and the planning commission should provide guidance
regarding the following:
1. The grading within the 75 foot setback.
2. Lake access stairs —screening etc.
If the applicant is not amenable to tabling, Planning Staff recommends denial of the CUP and
variance as proposed.

RE: 13-0809 Zoning Permit Application
13-3623 Conditional Use Permit Application
1330 Cherry Place
Engineering Review #1
Dear Melanie:
1 NC®
As requested, we have completed an engineering review of the documents submitted for the above
referenced project. Our current review is based on the following submittal items:
• Conditional Use Permit Application, dated 7/17/2013
• Zoning Permit Application, dated 8/15/2013
• City Council Resolution 5572 Granting a Variance to Municipal Zoning Code for 1330 Cherry
Place, adopted 1/22/2007
• Certificate of Survey prepared by Demars-Gabriel Land Surveyors, Inc., dated 7/31/13
• Landscaping Plans prepared by Demars-Gabriel Land Surveyors, Inc., dated 8/13/13
We offer the following observations, comments, and recommendations for your consideration:
The Certificate of Survey should be revised to include the following:
a. Written legal description, including all existing easements.
b. Top and bottom elevations for all walls. The plans are unclear what is proposed for retaining
walls. The plan should be revised to provide more detail for all proposed retaining wall work.
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.
c. Source of topography.
d. Finish floor elevations of garage and existing house at connections to driveway and patio.
e. Additional spot elevations and contours to better define grading. In particular, additional grading
detail should be added on the north side of the garage, on the proposed driveway, south of the
existing house near the proposed retaining wall, and on the proposed patio.
f. Proposed draintile and area drains.
g. Bluff line at top of applicable slopes.
It. Hardcover calculations for proposed conditions.
DESIGNING FOR A BETTER TOMORROW
Bolton & Menk is an equal opportunity employer
1330 Cherry Place

Page 2
i. Label OHWL = 929.4 for Lake Minnetonka.
j. Siltfence, inlet protection, and any other practices necessary to control erosion.
k. Tree protection fencing as necessary to protect existing trees during construction.
2. For slopes that rise higher than 25' above the OHWL, a bluff analysis including cross -sections should
be provided.
3. The perimeter siltfence on the north side of the lot should be relocated so it is down gradient of the
proposed grading
4. Significant grading is proposed on the east side of the lot within the 75' setback from the OHWL. It
appears that some of the grading is proposed to create a larger patio and clearer view to the lake from
the walk -out area of the house. The plans should be revised to indicate minimal grading within this
setback that is limited to providing positive drainage away from the house.
5. The applicant should consider removing the geotextile fabric around the draintile and trench in Detail
3. Current research indicates that the fabric can become clogged with fine material and block flow.
6. Perimeter erosion control devices and tree protection fencing should be inspected by the City prior to
any land disturbing activities. The Contractor must provide a 24 hour notice prior to inspection.
Please let me know if you have any questions or need additional information.
Sincerely,
BOOLTON & MENK, INC.

CMP Part 3B. Land Use Plan
LAND USE GOALS AND POLICIES
Orono's Land Use Plan is based upon the following goals and policies which in
turn have been actively developed and fostered by Orono residents over the last
35 years.
LAND USE GOALS
1. To reinforce Orono's environmental protection commitment, with
special emphasis on the protection of Lake Minnetonka and Orono's
other lakes.
2. To maintain the historic identity and character of the separate urban
and rural neighborhoods.
3. To provide appropriate places for a variety of local residential,
educational, recreational, industrial and neighborhood commercial
activities.
4. To protect neighborhoods from encroachment of incompatible land
uses.
5. To coordinate Orono's land uses with that of neighboring
communities.
6. To coordinate land uses and developed density with the financial and
physical capabilities of the City and its citizens to provide the
necessary public facilities and services.
GENERAL LAND USE POLICIES
1. The boundary between Orono's Urban and Rural Areas is fixed.
Orono's Urban Area will not be strictly defined by the Metropolitan Urban
Service Area (MUSA) boundary or future expansions of the MUSA
boundary but will be fixed by this and the other elements of the
Community Management Plan. Orono's defined Urban and Rural Areas
are best described by the planned development types and densities. Areas
where the the zoned density allows no more than 1 unit per 2 acres is
deemed Rural; areas where the zoned density allows more than 1 unit per
2 acres is deemed Urban, Orono's Urban and Rural areas are depicted and
fixed by Map 3B-1.
City of Orono Community Management Plan 2005-2030 Page 3B-15
PC Exhibit I
CMP Part 3B. Land Use Plan
the planned and zoned densities will be provided with municipal sewer at
the request of the developer. However, this policy will not preclude
development of such areas using fully conforming Individual Sewage
Treatment Systems.
LAKESHORE RESIDENTIAL LAND USE POLICIES
Although Orono's lakeshore has a wide range of diversity in lot size and home
size, the predominant character of Orono's lakeshore is natural. This is due to
much of the lakeshore being historically developed as large estate lots with homes
set back a substantial distance from the lakeshore, or being developed as moderate
homes on moderate lots leaving substantial open space. The exception to the
natural lakeshore is the areas where historically small cottages were built on small
lots close to the lakeshore. These cottages in many cases have been updated,
remodeled or expanded into year-round homes.
The key goal of the City's Comprehensive Plan is to protect Lake Minnetonka,
which includes the preservation of the natural character of the lakeshore and the
water quality of the lake.
As the demand for, and value of, lakeshore property has dramatically increased,
so has the pressure to expand or replace small and not so small older homes with
much larger homes. This pressure has the potential to substantially alter the
natural character of the lakeshore, and the more open and natural environment
enjoyed by property owners along much of the lakeshore in Orono.
The following policies will guide the City in addressing development on the
lakeshore.
1. Lake Minnetonka shall be protected as a natural and recreational
resource.
2. The natural character of the Lakeshore shall be preserved, and when
possible, enhanced.
3. The views and open space currently enjoyed by lakeshore property
owners shall be protected.
4. The size of a house to be allowed on a lot shall be determined based on
the size of the lot, as well as on the shape and topography of the lot.
5. The increase in massing of structures on the lakeshore shall be
limited.

A RESOLUTION GRANTING A VARIANCE
TO MUNICIPAL ZONING CODE
Section 78.330
FILE No. 07-3261
WHEREAS, James A. and Linda M. Martinson, husband and wife,
(hereinafter "Owners") are the owners of the property located at 1330 Cherry Place within
the City of Orono (hereinafter "City") and legally described as: Lots 1 and 2, Block 11, Saga
Hill Revised, Hennepin County, Minnesota (hereinafter "the property"); and
WHEREAS, the Owners have made application to the City for a variance to
Municipal Zoning Code Section 78-330 to construct a replacement residence on a lot that is
0.74 acre when 1 acre is required; and
WHEREAS, after due published notice and mailed notice in accordance with
Minnesota Statutes and the City of Orono Zoning and Planning Codes, the Orono Planning
Commission held a public hearing on January 16, 2007, at which time all persons desiring to
be heard concerning this application were given the opportunity to speak thereon.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of Orono,
Minnesota:
FINDINGS
This application was reviewed as Zoning File #07-3261.
2. The property is located in the LR-lB zoning district, where 1 acre is the
minimum lot area and 140 feet is the minimum lot width. The property is
approximately 0.74 acre in area and 180 feet in width,
The Planning Commission reviewed this application on January 16, 2007 and
on a vote of 7 - 0 recommended approval of the variance, based on the
following findings:
a. The lot was created before there were subdivision regulations.
b. A house has existed on the property since 1920.

°)O)A
�rr CITY of ORONO
RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL
�EssNo. 5.5 7 2
C. There is no adjacent property the Owners could acquire to enlarge the
lot.
d. There are numerous similarly sized lots with similarly sized houses in
the immediate vicinity of this property so the proposed house would
not be out of character with the surrounding area.
4. The City Council has considered this application including the findings and
recormnendafion of the Planning Commission, reports by City staff, continents
by the Owners and the public, and the effect of the proposed variance on the
health, safety and welfare of the community.
5. The City Council finds that the conditions existing on this property are peculiar
to it and do not apply generally to other property in this zoning district; that
granting the variance would not adversely affect traffic conditions, light, air
nor pose a fire hazard or other danger to neighboring property; would not
merely serve as a convenience to the Owners, but is necessary to alleviate a
demonstrable hardship or difficulty; is necessary to preserve a substantial
property right of the Owners; and would be in keeping with the spirit and
intent of the Zoning Code and Comprehensive Plan of the City.
CONCLUSIONS, ORDER AND CONDITIONS
Based upon the above findings, the Orono City Council hereby grants a variance to Orono
Municipal Zoning Code Section 78-330 to allow a replacement residence on a lot that is 0.74
acre when 1 acre is required, subject to the following conditions:
Council approval is based on the site and house plans submitted by the Owners
and annotated by City staff, attached to this Resolution as Exhibits A. and B.
Any amendments to these plans may require further Planning Commission and
City Council review.
2. The final grading plan shall be approved by the City Engineer prior to issuance
of the building permit.

RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL
NO. 5 5 i 9
3. Authorities granted by this resolution run with the property not with the
owners, but are permissive only and must be exercised by obtaining a building
permit for the new construction before January 22, 2008 or the variance will
expire on that date.
4. Violation of or non-compliance with any of the terms and conditions of this
resolution shall constitute a violation of the zoning code, shall automatically
terminate any authority granted herein, and shall be punishable as a
misdemeanor.
5. The undersigned Owners have read, understand and hereby agree to the terms
of this resolution and on behalf of their heirs, successors and assigns, hereby
agree to the recording of this resolution in the chain of title of the property.
Adopted by the Orono City Council on this 22nd day of January, 2007.

4. #13-3623 CLAIRSON DUTRA ON BEHALF OF LIN YAN,1330 CHERRY PLACE,
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT AND VARIANCE, 6:40 P.M. — 7:10 P.M.
Claison Dutra and Lin Yan, Applicants, were present.
Curtis stated the applicant has applied for two separate applications regarding 1330 Cherry Place,
including a zoning permit for land alterations and new hardcover which includes changes to the driveway,
door landings, retaining/landscape walls and patios outside of the 75-foot zone; and a land use application
for conditional use permit and variance approvals in order to conduct land alterations within 75 feet of the
lake and construct a new lake access stair.
Curtis noted the applicants have provided a revised plan on Friday which is shown on the overhead. The
dark line depicts the 75-foot setback. The Planning Commission should determine whether all proposed
conditionally permitted uses are or will be consistent with the criteria contained in City Code Section
78-916. Staff s report outlines those criteria, and in regard to this application, Items 1, 2, 6, 7, 9, 10, and
13 are generally applicable.
The proposal results in 137 square feet of additional hardcover within the 0-75 foot zone. The proposed
stairs are approximately four feet wide, but with the retaining walls, the stair system becomes six feet in
width. The applicant is proposing to remove an existing stair where a portion encroaches into the City
right-of-way. Since the proposed stair exceeds the minimum, it cannot be approved administratively.

6:30 o'clock p.m.
Staff finds some of the proposed grading appears to be an attempt to achieve positive drainage away from
the house. However, the grading on the lake side slope area seems to be an attempt to create a larger
outdoor patio living area and better view from the walk -out area of the house. According to the City's
Comprehensive Plan and City Code Shoreland Zoning regulations, grading should be limited within the
75-foot setback area to only that which is minimal and necessary, and any changes or modifications to the
lakeshore which result in a significant change in vegetation, topography, etc., are to be discouraged.
Staff would suggest the applicant redesign the grading plan to reduce the amounts and the impacts of the
grading. An administrative permit for grading will not be issued until the grading within the 0-75 foot
area is resolved and approved by the City. Staff would also suggest that the applicant consider
redesigning the lake access stair to either meet the minimum 4-foot width requirement or meander the
stairs to increase the opportunities to screen the stairs with plantings.
Staff met with the applicant this morning and discussed the revised plans and the challenges with regard
to stormwater on the property. The applicant's revised plan appears to address the majority of the City
Engineer's concerns. However, those changes have not been fully reviewed by the City Engineer. The
issues regarding changes to the shoreline still need to be addressed.
Curtis stated an onsite meeting with City Staff and the applicant's engineer will be scheduled to review
the issues the applicant is identifying regarding the stormwater on the property and to discuss their
erosion concerns on the adjacent City right-of-way.
Based on the revised plans, a permit will be issued for the driveway work and the retaining wall near the
house to correct the grading prior to the winter snow. However, the grading within the 0-75 foot area
must be resolved satisfactorily prior to the grading permit and the conditional use permit being approved
by the City.
Staff recommends tabling the application tonight and the Planning Commission should provide guidance
to the applicant regarding the grading within the 0-75 foot setback and screening of the stairs. If the
applicant is not amenable to tabling the application, Staff would recommend denial of the conditional use
permit and variance as proposed.

6:30 o'clock p.m.
Thiesse asked if the beech wood tree was removed in the 0-75 foot setback.
Landgraver noted only the stump remains.
Lin Yan indicated the roots of the tree were damaged in the last storm and that they had obtained a permit
to remove it.
Landgraver asked if there is any hardcover increase related to the driveway.
Curtis indicated there is and that the new hardcover being proposed for the 0-75 and outside of that zone
is 1,360 plus square feet for a total of 19 percent.
Landgraver asked if the slope would fall within the definition of a bluff.
Dutra stated it would not be considered a bluff since it is only 15 feet above the lake.
Curtis noted it would need to be 25 feet or higher to be considered a bluff.
Lin Yan, Applicant, indicated they just purchased the house May 30, and shortly thereafter there were a
number of storms which led them to discover a couple of problems with the property. The first problem
relates to the back yard and how it is laid out. Whenever there is a heavy storm, basically the property
turns into a riverfront and is not a lakefront. The second problem deals with a large amount of erosion
that is occurring on the easement adjacent to the property. Lin Yan noted his property is the lowest point
on Cherry Place, which results in a lot of water runoff to his property.
Lin Yan stated after the storms, they noticed a number of roots around the trees were exposed and mud
was washing into the lake. As a result of the runoff, Lin Yan indicated his shoreline is no longer sandy
but full of mud.
Lin Yan stated they are attempting to come up with a solution to manage the stormwater and help
decrease the runoff into the lake. One option is to open up 40 to 50 feet in the back yard and have
landscaping in that area to help slow down the runoff. Lin Yan indicated they did meet with City Staff
Page 5 of 51
MINUTES OF THE
ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING
Monday, September 16, 2016
6:30 o'clock p.m.
this morning and that it sounds like there is an agreement with the City Engineer to come up with a plan
for better management of the stormwater in the back yard and on the easement. Lin Yan stated if the
erosion continues, it will significantly impact his property.
Clairson Dutra stated that he would like the Planning Commission to understand that they are not
attempting to improve the view since the house already has a good view but that they are trying to fix the
drainage. There is already a good view from the first and second floors of the home and the Yans do not
anticipate utilizing the basement very much.
Dutra pointed out on the overhead the area that experiences the runoff and has accumulation of water.
Dutra stated the water in that area could create instability in the hill and that they are attempting to divert
the water away from the house and keep the mud out of the lake.
Lin Yan commented Cherry Place is very steep, and that given his observations, it appears a majority of
the water comes from the street. The land erosion goes up to North Arm Drive and is also occurring in
the area near the lake. Lin Yan indicated he has counted four dead trees in that area already. The plan is
to regrade that area and let the water go through the grass, which will help slow down the stormwater that
flows into the lake.
Chair Leskinen opened the public hearing at 6:52 p.m.
There were no public comments regarding this application.
Chair Leskinen closed the public hearing at 6:52 p.m.
Leskinen commented this is a challenging site and that the back yard does slope down to the basement.
Thiesse asked what the reason is for Staff s recommendation that the application be tabled.
Curtis indicated the applicant has provided some additional information but that their survey still reflects
a similar grading plan to what was originally proposed for the 0-75 foot zone. Curtis requested the
Planning Commission provide some direction on what they would like to see happen in that area. If the
Page 6 of 51
MINUTES OF THE
ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING
Monday, September 16, 2016
6:30 o'clock p.m.
Planning Commission feels the grading plan is appropriate in light of what the comprehensive plan and
code requires, the Planning Commission can recommend approval of the application and move it before
the City Council.
Leskinen asked if the circular area is a big concrete paver patio area.
Curtis stated that was depicted on the previous plan as well.
Lin Yan indicated the patio is outside of the 75-foot setback.
Curtis indicated the heavy black line is the 75-foot setback and that some of the patio is new.
Leskinen questioned whether that patio would contribute to the runoff.
Thiesse noted the applicant is below the 25 percent hardcover limit and that the patio is outside of the 0-
75 foot zone.
Landgraver stated in his view the Planning Commission is strongly encouraged to prevent grading
changes that close to the shoreline. Judging by the size of the tree growing on top of the ridge, it appears
that the ridge has been there for a number of years and has not been heavily impacted by heavy rains.
Landgraver stated because of that, he would not recommend approval and that he would prefer the
application be tabled.
Lin Yan noted there was a beech tree in that area and that they had received permission to remove it.
Landgraver stated he understands that but that the point of his comment was that the hill has been there
for a number of years.
Lin Yan commented the soil in that area is loose and that the roots were exposed in the last storm which
necessitated the removal of the tree.
Page 7 of 51
MINUTES OF THE
ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING
Monday, September 16, 2016
6:30 o'clock p.m.
Thiesse stated it should not be the homeowner's problem to take care of the City's water coming off the
easement but that he is not sure the landowner should divert his runoff into the lake.
Leskinen stated that was the purpose behind her questioning the patio area. Leskinen asked if the patio
will carve into the hill area.
Curtis indicated that area is already flat and is the area where the water pools.
Dutra noted the darker area around the house is not all paver and consists largely of mulch. The patio is
only the circular area.
Schoenzeit stated until there is agreement between the City Engineer and the applicant's engineer, it
seems premature for the Planning Commission to move the application forward.
Thiesse commented he would not argue with that. Thiesse asked whether the City allows a maximum of
four feet width on the stairs and whether the walls are intended to protect people from falling off the stairs
or what their purpose is.
Curtis stated they are sitting alongside the stairs.
Thiesse asked whether the stairs can be constructed without the walls.
Dutra indicated the stairs can be constructed without the walls at the four foot width.
Schoenzeit recommended the grading plan be approved by the City Engineer and that the stairs not
exceed a four -foot width.
Lin Yan stated if the walls along the stairs are not necessary, they do not have to construct the walls.
Dutra stated the biggest concern they have is the hill. If a portion of the hill cannot be removed, the slope
will be too steep for stairs. Dutra stated they would like to divert the water from the neighbors and the
back yard through the grass and away from the area that currently floods. Dutra noted the tree that was
Page 8 of 51
MINUTES OF THE
ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING
Monday, September 16, 2016
6:30 o'clock p.m.
removed had been there for approximately 200 years but that about two feet of roots were exposed and it
was dying. To prevent the tree from falling into the house, it was removed.
Thiesse stated he was completely against the application until he walked the property. The intent of the
ordinance is to protect the lake view of the house. If six feet is removed from the bluff, it will still remain
a flat area and people will not be able to tell dirt was removed from that area a year from now.
Schoenzeit commented it appears the area was incorrectly graded at one time.
Curtis indicted prior to the current house being constructed, there was another house on the property that
was located in the lower area of the property. That area was not completely filled in at the time the house
was demolished.
Schoenzeit stated typically most homeowners will construct a swale along one or both sides of the house
but that this property seems to have a slope toward the basement that appears to be incorrect.
Dutra stated the plan on the overhead shows the cross-section of the back yard and how much dirt will
need to be removed and the area that will need to be filled in. Dutra indicated they are trying to take a
little bit of the slope out to make sure that the water that comes from the street is diverted.
Leskinen asked if the entire width of the property would be graded flat.
Lin Yan indicated it would only be a portion of the back yard.
Dutra stated it would be approximately half of the property. Dutra indicated the arrows show the
direction of the runoff.
Lin Yan stated he owns 183 feet of Lakeshore and that in his opinion it will only be about one-third that
will need to be graded.
McGrann stated at this point the Planning Commission can table it, deny it, or move it forward. It is the
recommendation of Staff that the application be tabled until further comments are received from the City
Page 9 of 51

Engineer. McGrann stated in his view the Planning Commission should table the application to get more
clarity to what is being proposed.
Curtis stated a meeting on site with the applicant's engineer will resolve the issues and that Staff would
like to get the recommendation of the City Engineer.
Leskinen asked whether the Planning Commission has provided enough direction to the applicant on the
other aspects of the application. Leskinen recommended the stairs be limited to four feet in width.
Curtis stated she would like the Planning Commission to provide direction on the lakeshore and slope
issues as far as appearance and whether vegetation should be included on the slope.
Schwingler commented a rain garden might be one option to help handle the runoff.
Thiesse noted the property has been clear cut and the ground is showing on top of the berm. Thiesse
pointed out there is also no silt fencing.
Dutra stated in what they have received so far from the engineer, there is nothing saying that they cannot
do something due to technical issues. Dutra stated they are not attempting to create a better view from the
walkout but that they are attempting to divert the water from the back yard and correct the erosion issues.
Landgraver recommended the applicant limit the amount of removal in the 0-75 foot zone as much as
possible.
Schwingler stated if the Planning Commission looks at the issues for consideration outlined in Staff s
report, a variance being granted would not alter the character of the neighborhood. The issue that needs
to be dealt with is the water runoff that is caused, in part, by the city -owned easement.
Schoenzeit commented the City should help him resolve that issue.
Schwingler stated there are options they can consider to help mitigate the water, such as a rain garden or a
swale.

6:30 o'clock p.m.
Curtis stated the direction she is hearing from the Planning Commission is to have the City Engineer
review the situation and arrive at a solution that disturbs the 0-75 foot zone as little as possible and then
mitigate or screen the area from the lake as best they can.
Landgraver noted they should also comply with the four -foot width on the stairway.
Schoenzeit requested they also provide an updated cross-section showing the 75-foot setback.

Clairson Dutra and Lin Yan, Applicants, were present.
Curtis noted this application was before the Planning Commission at its September meeting. The
applicants are requesting a conditional use permit and variance approvals in order to conduct land
alterations within 75 feet of the lake and construct a new lake access stair. At that meeting the applicants
Page 10 of 42
MINUTES OF THE
ORONO CITY PLANNING COMMISSION
Monday, October 21, 2013
6:30 o'clock p.m.
were directed to revise the drainage plan and yet be respectful of the City's desire for a natural,
unchanged shoreline.
The Consulting City Engineer and Staff met with the applicant and homeowner on site to work towards a
solution. Alternatives were discussed for the shoreline and the results of that discussion are depicted on
the overhead. The revised proposed grading within the 75-foot setback takes into account the
preservation requirements within the Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Code. In addition, Staff believes
the proposed stair system within the 75-foot area has been revised to better allow for vegetative screening
and will have little impact on the surrounding lands.
The applicant has revised his plan to take advantage of the natural slope, which also allows screening to
help mitigate the view from the lake. The stairway is in approximately the same spot. The proposed
hardcover for the entire site will be 19 percent where 25 percent is allowed. The applicants' revised
proposal results in 209 square feet of hardcover within the 75-foot zone. The existing staircase will be
removed that is located within the City's right-of-way. The new stairway will be located in
approximately the same area but will be located entirely on the applicant's property.
Due to the stair design being set into the existing slope and to avoid additional grading, it exceeds the
maximum allowable hardcover and cannot be approved administratively. The existing vegetation of the
new stair, and if it is deemed necessary, the applicant should provide a plan to screen the stair with
additional vegetation. Staff is not sure whether that is needed based on what is on site currently
Staff finds that the revised grading plan achieves the goal of positive drainage away from the home and
yet preserves the slope consistent with the City's goals. The Consulting City Engineer has reviewed and
approved the most recent plan.
Staff recommends approval. Curtis noted a cross-section has been provided illustrating the slope as
requested.

application involving a CUP and varianc to conduct land alterations within 75 feet of the lake
and construct a new lake access stair (?Iscussed. At that meeting the applicants were
directed to revise the grading plan to resolve their drainage issues yet be respectful of the City's
desire for a natural shoreline. City Staff which included myself and both the City
engineer Jesse Struve and our consulting city engineer, Bob Bean met with the applicant and
homeowner on site to work toward a solution. Alternatives were discussed for the shoreline, the
result of which is reflected in the revised grading plan on the screen.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Conditional Use Permit
The revised proposed grading within the 75' setback takes into account the preservation
requirements within the comprehensive plan or zoning code.
Staff ff believes the roposed stair system within the 75-foot setback area will have little impact
on surrounding lands; the plan has been revised to better allow for vegetative screening. The
applicant has redesigned the stair to take advantage of the natural slope ts •he Pei -'- "-
yerlh and allow for screening to mitigate views from the lake.
Hardcover Variance
The proposed hardcover for the entire site is 19%. The applicant's revised proposal results in
209 square feet of hardcover within the 0-75' zone. The applicant is proposing to remove the
existing stair where a portion encroaches into the City right-of-way as shown. {T,�he revised stair
is located in the same area yet is entirely within the property. Due to the cretigA which is set
into the slope to avoid additional grading$ exceeds the minimum StFaight dewrrseeess level of
hardcover (which would be approximately 125 square feet) and cannot be approved
a. administratively. There is existing vegetation in this areIf it is ecessary)the applicant should
propose a plan to screen the stair with additional vegetation.
Staff Recwmrdation
Staff finds)the revised grading plan achieves the goal of positive drainage away from the house
yet preserves the lakeshore slope consistent with the City's goals. The consulting City engineer
has reviewed and approved the most recent revisions.
Staff recommends approval vfi""the CUP and variance according to the revised plans.

The Orono Planning Commission voted on a motion to recommend tabling the application for revisions.
The applicant was directed to reduce the lake access stair to 4 feet in width, and to work with City
engineering and planning staff on a grading plan which minimizes the amount of earth movement within
0-75' zone and solves the stormwater drainage issues. Mitigating measures such as vegetative
screening (trees, perennials, shrubs, etc) and/or rain gardens should be incorporated into the plan if
appropriate and possible.
VOTE: 7 FOR 0 AGAINST
Applicant's next meeting is tentatively scheduled as: Monday, October 21, 2013
This is a Planning Commission meeting. The meeting begins at 6:30 PM
Revised plans should be submitted to the City by October 7, 2013 for consideration at the October
meeting.

4. #13-3623 CLAIRSON DUTRA ON BEHALF OF LIN YAN, 1330 CHERRY PLACE,
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT AND VARIANCE, 6:40 P.M. — 7:10 P.M.
Claison Dutra and Lin Yan, Applicants, were present.
Curtis stated the applicant has applied for two separate applications regarding 1330 Cherry Place,
including a zoning permit for land alterations and new hardcover which includes changes to the driveway,
door landings, retaining/landscape walls and patios outside of the 75-foot zone; and a land use application
for conditional use permit and variance approvals in order to conduct land alterations within 75 feet of the
lake and construct a new lake access stair.
Curtis noted the applicants have provided a revised plan on Friday which is shown on the overhead. The
dark line depicts the 75-foot setback. The Planning Commission should determine whether all proposed
conditionally permitted uses are or will be consistent with the criteria contained in City Code Section
78-916. Staff s report outlines those criteria, and in regard to this application, Items 1, 2, 6, 7, 9, 10, and
13 are generally applicable.
The proposal results in 137 square feet of additional hardcover within the 0-75 foot zone. The proposed
stairs are approximately four feet wide, but with the retaining walls, the stair system becomes six feet in
width. The applicant is proposing to remove an existing stair where a portion encroaches into the City
right-of-way. Since the proposed stair exceeds the minimum, it cannot be approved administratively.

6:30 o'clock p.m.
Staff finds some of the proposed grading appears to be an attempt to achieve positive drainage away from
the house. However, the grading on the lake side slope area seems to be an attempt to create a larger
outdoor patio living area and better view from the walk -out area of the house. According to the City's
Comprehensive Plan and City Code Shoreland Zoning regulations, grading should be limited within the
75-foot setback area to only that which is minimal and necessary, and any changes or modifications to the
lakeshore which result in a significant change in vegetation, topography, etc., are to be discouraged.
Staff would suggest the applicant redesign the grading plan to reduce the amounts and the impacts of the
grading. An administrative permit for grading will not be issued until the grading within the 0-75 foot
area is resolved and approved by the City. Staff would also suggest that the applicant consider
redesigning the lake access stair to either meet the minimum 4-foot width requirement or meander the
stairs to increase the opportunities to screen the stairs with plantings.
Staff met with the applicant this morning and discussed the revised plans and the challenges with regard
to stormwater on the property. The applicant's revised plan appears to address the majority of the City
Engineer's concerns. However, those changes have not been fully reviewed by the City Engineer. The
issues regarding changes to the shoreline still need to be addressed.
Curtis stated an onsite meeting with City Staff and the applicant's engineer will be scheduled to review
the issues the applicant is identifying regarding the stormwater on the property and to discuss their
erosion concerns on the adjacent City right-of-way.
Based on the revised plans, a permit will be issued for the driveway work and the retaining wall near the
house to correct the grading prior to the winter snow. However, the grading within the 0-75 foot area
must be resolved satisfactorily prior to the grading permit and the conditional use permit being approved
by the City.
Staff recommends tabling the application tonight and the Planning Commission should provide guidance
to the applicant regarding the grading within the 0-75 foot setback and screening of the stairs. If the
applicant is not amenable to tabling the application, Staff would recommend denial of the conditional use
permit and variance as proposed.
Thiesse asked if the beech wood tree was removed in the 0-75 foot setback.
Landgraver noted only the stump remains.
Lin Yan indicated the roots of the tree were damaged in the last storm and that they had obtained a permit
to remove it.
Landgraver asked if there is any hardcover increase related to the driveway.
Curtis indicated there is and that the new hardcover being proposed for the 0-75 and outside of that zone
is 1,360 plus square feet for a total of 19 percent.
Landgraver asked if the slope would fall within the definition of a bluff.
Dutra stated it would not be considered a bluff since it is only 15 feet above the lake.
Page 3 of 34
MINUTES OF THE
ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING
Monday, September 16, 2013
6:30 o'clock p.m.
Curtis noted it would need to be 25 feet or higher to be considered a bluff
Lin Yan, Applicant, indicated they just purchased the house May 30, and shortly thereafter there were a
number of storms which led them to discover a couple of problems with the property. The first problem
relates to the back yard and how it is laid out. Whenever there is a heavy storm, basically the property
turns into a riverfront and is not a lakefront. The second problem deals with a large amount of erosion
that is occurring on the easement adjacent to the property. Lin Yan noted his property is the lowest point
on Cherry Place, which results in a lot of water runoff to his property.
Lin Yan stated after the storms, they noticed a number of roots around the trees were exposed and mud
was washing into the lake. As a result of the runoff, Lin Yan indicated his shoreline is no longer sandy
but full of mud.
Lin Yan stated they are attempting to come up with a solution to manage the stormwater and help
decrease the runoff into the lake. One option is to open up 40 to 50 feet in the back yard and have
landscaping in that area to help slow down the runoff. Lin Yan indicated they did meet with City Staff
this morning and that it sounds like there is an agreement with the City Engineer to come up with a plan
for better management of the stormwater in the back yard and on the easement. Lin Yan stated if the
erosion continues, it will significantly impact his property.
Clairson Dutra stated that he would like the Planning Commission to understand that they are not
attempting to improve the view since the house already has a good view but that they are trying to fix the
drainage. There is already a good view from the first and second floors of the home and the Yans do not
anticipate utilizing the basement very much.
Dutra pointed out on the overhead the area that experiences the runoff and has accumulation of water.
Dutra stated the water in that area could create instability in the hill and that they are attempting to divert
the water away from the house and keep the mud out of the lake.
Lin Yan commented Cherry Place is very steep, and that given his observations, it appears a majority of
the water comes from the street. The land erosion goes up to North Arm Drive and is also occurring in
the area near the lake. Lin Yan indicated he has counted four dead trees in that area already. The plan is
to regrade that area and let the water go through the grass, which will help slow down the stormwater that
flows into the lake.
Chair Leskinen opened the public hearing at 6:52 p.m.
There were no public comments regarding this application.
Chair Leskinen closed the public hearing at 6:52 p.m.
Leskinen commented this is a challenging site and that the back yard does slope down to the basement.
Thiesse asked what the reason is for Staff s recommendation that the application be tabled.
Curtis indicated the applicant has provided some additional information but that their survey still reflects
a similar grading plan to what was originally proposed for the 0-75 foot zone. Curtis requested the
Planning Commission provide some direction on what they would like to see happen in that area. If the
Page 4 of 34
MINUTES OF THE
ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING
Monday, September 16, 2013
6:30 o'clock p.m.
Planning Commission feels the grading plan is appropriate in light of what the comprehensive plan and
code requires, the Planning Commission can recommend approval of the application and move it before
the City Council.
Leskinen asked if the circular area is a big concrete paver patio area.
Curtis stated that was depicted on the previous plan as well.
Lin Yan indicated the patio is outside of the 75-foot setback.
Curtis indicated the heavy black line is the 75-foot setback and that some of the patio is new.
Leskinen questioned whether that patio would contribute to the runoff.
Thiesse noted the applicant is below the 25 percent hardcover limit and that the patio is outside of the 0-
75 foot zone.
Landgraver stated in his view the Planning Commission is strongly encouraged to prevent grading
changes that close to the shoreline. Judging by the size of the tree growing on top of the ridge, it appears
that the ridge has been there for a number of years and has not been heavily impacted by heavy rains.
Landgraver stated because of that, he would not recommend approval and that he would prefer the
application be tabled.
Lin Yan noted there was a beech tree in that area and that they had received permission to remove it.
Landgraver stated he understands that but that the point of his comment was that the hill has been there
for a number of years.
Lin Yan commented the soil in that area is loose and that the roots were exposed in the last storm which
necessitated the removal of the tree.
Thiesse stated it should not be the homeowner's problem to take care of the City's water coming off the
easement but that he is not sure the landowner should divert his runoff into the lake.
Leskinen stated that was the purpose behind her questioning the patio area. Leskinen asked if the patio
will carve into the hill area.
Curtis indicated that area is already flat and is the area where the water pools.
Dutra noted the darker area around the house is not all paver and consists largely of mulch. The patio is
only the circular area.
Schoenzeit stated until there is agreement between the City Engineer and the applicant's engineer, it
seems premature for the Planning Commission to move the application forward.
Thiesse commented he would not argue with that. Thiesse asked whether the City allows a maximum of
four feet width on the stairs and whether the walls are intended to protect people from falling off the stairs
or what their purpose is.
Page 5 of 34
MINUTES OF THE
ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING
Monday, September 16, 2013
6:30 o'clock p.m.
Curtis stated they are sitting alongside the stairs.
Thiesse asked whether the stairs can be constructed without the walls.
Dutra indicated the stairs can be constructed without the walls at the four foot width.
Schoenzeit recommended the grading plan be approved by the City Engineer and that the stairs not
exceed a four -foot width.
Lin Yan stated if the walls along the stairs are not necessary, they do not have to construct the walls
Dutra stated the biggest concern they have is the hill. If a portion of the hill cannot be removed, the slope
will be too steep for stairs. Dutra stated they would like to divert the water from the neighbors and the
back yard through the grass and away from the area that currently floods. Dutra noted the tree that was
removed had been there for approximately 200 years but that about two feet of roots were exposed and it
was dying. To prevent the tree from falling into the house, it was removed.
Thiesse stated he was completely against the application until he walked the property. The intent of the
ordinance is to protect the lake view of the house. If six feet is removed from the bluff, it will still remain
a flat area and people will not be able to tell dirt was removed from that area a year from now.
Schoenzeit commented it appears the area was incorrectly graded at one time.
Curtis indicted prior to the current house being constructed, there was another house on the property that
was located in the lower area of the property. That area was not completely filled in at the time the house
was demolished.
Schoenzeit stated typically most homeowners will construct a Swale along one or both sides of the house
but that this property seems to have a slope toward the basement that appears to be incorrect.
Dutra stated the plan on the overhead shows the cross-section of the back yard and how much dirt will
need to be removed and the area that will need to be filled in. Dutra indicated they are trying to take a
little bit of the slope out to make sure that the water that comes from the street is diverted.
Leskinen asked if the entire width of the property would be graded flat.
Lin Yan indicated it would only be a portion of the back yard.
Dutra stated it would be approximately half of the property. Dutra indicated the arrows show the
direction of the runoff.
Lin Yan stated he owns 183 feet of lakeshore and that in his opinion it will only be about one-third that
will need to be graded.
Mcdrann stated at this" point the Plannin?commissa`on can'ta�le it, deny it, oWmove ikforward. It is the
recommendation of Staff that the application be tabled until further comments are received from theiCity

Engineer. McGrann stated in his view the Planning Commission should table the application to get more
clarity to what is being proposed.
Curtis stated a meeting on site with the applicant's engineer will resolve the issues and that Staff would
like to get the recommendation of the City Engineer.
Leskinen asked whether the Planning Commission has provided enough direction to the applicant on the
other aspects of the application. Leskinen recommended the stairs be limited to four feet in width.
Curtis stated she would like the Planning Commission to provide direction on the lakeshore and slope
issues as far as appearance and whether vegetation should be included on the slope.
Schwingler commented a rain garden might be one option to help handle the runoff
Thiesse noted the property has been clear cut and the ground is showing on top of the berm. Thiesse
pointed out there is also no silt fencing.
Dutra stated in what they have received so far from the engineer, there is nothing saying that they cannot
do something due to technical issues. Dutra stated they are not attempting to create a better view from the
walkout but that they are attempting to divert the water from the back yard and correct the erosion issues.
Landgraver recommended the applicant limit the amount of removal in the 0-75 foot zone as much as
possible.
Schwingler stated if the Planning Commission looks at the issues for consideration outlined in Staffs
report, a variance being granted would not alter the character of the neighborhood. The issue that needs
to be dealt with is the water runoff that is caused, in part, by the city -owned easement.
Schoenzeit commented the City should help him resolve that issue.
Schwingler stated there are options they can consider to help mitigate the water, such as a rain garden or a
swale.
Curtis stated the direction she is hearing from the Planning Commission is to have the City Engineer
review the situation and arrive at a solution that disturbs the 0-75 foot zone as little as possible and then
mitigate or screen the area from the lake as best they can.
Landgraver noted they should also comply with the four -foot width on the stairway.
Schoenzeit requested they also provide an updated cross-section showing the 75-foot setback.
McGrann moved, Landgraver seconded, to table Application $13-3623, Clairson Dutra on behalf of

Public Hearing
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Background
Two separate applications have been made regarding 1330 Cherry Place - a Zoning Permit for
land alterations and changes to the driveway, door landings, retaining/landscape walls and
patios outside of the 75 foot zone; and a Land Use Application for CUP and variance approvals in
order to conduct land alterations within 75 feet of the lake and construct a new lake access
stair.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Conditional Use Permit
The Planning Commission and Council must determine that all proposed conditionally permitted
uses are or will be consistent with the criteria outlined in City Code Section 78-916. With regard
to this application, items 1, 2, 6, 7, 9, 10 and 13 are generally applicable. If the planning
commission would like, staff can outline the analysis regarding those criteria.
Hardcover Variance
The proposal results in 137 square feet of additional hardcover within the 0-75' zone. The
proposed stair is approximately 4 feet wide, but with the retaining walls the stair system
becomes 6 feet in width. The applicant is proposing to remove an existing stair where a portion
encroaches into the City right-of-way; the proposed stair exceeds the minimum and cannot be
approved administratively.
The guidance within the City's Comprehensive Plan suggests that changes or modifications to
the lakeshore which result in a significant change (in vegetation, topography, etc) are to be
discouraged. Some of the proposed grading appears to be an attempt to achieve positive
drainage away from the house; however some of the grading on the lake side slope area seems
to be an attempt to create a larger outdoor patio living area and better view from the walk -out
area of the house. According to the Comp Plan and City Code Shoreland Zoning regulations,
within the 75' setback area grading should be very limited to only that which is minimal and
necessary.
The applicant should consider revising the grading plan to reduce the amounts and the impacts
of the grading. Staff met with the applicant this morning and discussed the stormwater
challenges of the property. The applicant provided revised plans which appear to address most
of the engineering concerns but haven't been reviewed yet by the City's engineer. The issue
regarding changes to the character of the shoreline remains to be addressed. An onsite meeting
will be scheduled with the City's staff and consulting engineers and myself to discuss the issues
on site with the homeowner and his engineer.
Based on the revised plans, a permit will be issued for the driveway work and the retaining wall
near the house however the grading within the 0-75' area must be resolved satisfactorily before
the grading permit will be approved by the City.
Staff recommends tabling the application and the planning commission should provide guidance
regarding the following:
1. The grading within the 75 foot setback.
2. Lake access stairs —screening etc.
If the applicant is not amenable to tabling, Planning Staff recommends denial of the CUP and
variance as proposed.

1330 Cherry Place - 2 applications
Dave
Today I gave you plans for two separate applications at 1330 Cherry Place.
• 2013-00809: a Zoning Permit for land alterations and new hardcover (driveway, landings, walls and patios); and
• 13-3623: a CUP & variance application for land alterations within 75' of the lake and a new lake access stair. The
variance part is due to the total hardcover of the stair at 6' wide including the supporting walls exceeding the
minimum (4' wide stair).
Some of the proposed grading appears to be an attempt to achieve positive drainage away from the house; however the
grading on the lake side slope area seems to be an attempt to create a larger outdoor patio living area and better view
from the walk -out area of the house. Within the 75'setback area grading should be very limited to the minimal and
necessary.
Please review the plans and provide comments by September 9th if possible. If you are able to quickly review the plans
today and let me know if the materials are incomplete or need changing I would appreciate it. I need to get a letter out
to the applicant detailing any missed information etc.
