Director Ron Olson, and City Clerk Diane Tiegs.
GUESTS: John Morris, Orono Resident; Ray Salazar, Mound City Council; Megan Pavot, Spring Park
City Council; Eric Hoversten, Mound City Administrator
1. Bias Sensitivity Training
Kevin Lindsey, Commissioner of the Minnesota Department of Human Rights presented
“Diversity and Inclusion Council Creating More Inclusive Government”.
Mr. Lindsey reviewed the Minnesota Human Rights Act and the goals to increase the
workforce participation for people of color by connecting with individuals to spark their
interest in the trades. The PowerPoint presentation reviewed the actions to eliminate the
disparities beginning with education and developing clear policies that oppose
discrimination.
Mr. Lindsey also spoke to the scope and impact of future demographic changes. The
statistics show that by 2040 the percentage of people of color comprising working age adults
is expected to double.
Mr. Lindsey relayed the statement “Managers manage change, but best in-class leaders
create change by inspiring their employees. Our partners champion diversity by infusing it
into all organizational processes and ensuring that diversity is integrated into the core values
of the organization.”
2. Police Chief Verbal Update
Chief Farniok shared the Heart Safe Community Initiative training information and the
recent lifesaving emergencies that were directly impacted by this program. Chief Farniok
stated the program is providing community outreach and saving lives. Recently 900
Mound-Westonka students received training in both CPR and use of Public Access
Defibrillation (PAD).
Chief Farniok relayed that Orono Police Department crime prevention is providing property
security assessments to aid businesses and property owners in making their property more
secure. Training for retail businesses to reduce shoplifting includes a store assessment and
staff training. Officer McCoy of the Orono Police Department is certified in property
assessment and will meet onsite to provide his assessment and recommendations.
Chief Farniok presented information on the Hennepin West Mesonet which is a network of
remote sensors that provide real-time weather measurements and conditions. Hennepin
County may approach communities to locate sites to set-up sensor instruments on City
property. This is a life-safety tool to gather data on weather, soil, and water to assist
emergency leaders in relaying critical public warnings and tactical decisions.

5. RESOLUTION TO SUPPORT APPROPRIATIONS FOR U.S. HIGHWAY 12
PROJECTS, RESOLUTION NO. 6600
Police Chief Farniok stated approximately 16 months ago the Highway 12 Safety Coalition was created,
which is a combined effort with law enforcement and cities along a 38-mile section of Highway 12 as
well as collaboration and partnership with MN/DOT and county engineers to identify and work on safety
issues along that corridor. A safety audit conducted by MN/DOT has identified some safety issues and
shows what areas should be improved.
Farniok stated over the past 16 months, 22 people have lost their lives and countless others have suffered
serious injuries. Highway 12 through the City of Independence experiences nearly double the average
traffic of any similar road in the state, which was pointed out to the MN Senate. This section of
Highway 12 through Independence was built in the 1930s with one upgrade in the 1950s, which makes
this section of highway at least 60 years old. There is also no center median at all through this section.
The area of focus is located in Hennepin County that goes through the cities of Independence, Maple
Plain, Orono, and Long Lake. That section consists of 10.51 miles but it has contributed to 39 percent of
all fatal crashes. County Road 92 has been identified as one area for improvement. In that area the
intersections are not aligned and have no dedicated turn lanes which makes it necessary for traffic to sit in
the through portion of Highway 12, which has resulted in a number of rear-end accidents.
Farniok stated the approach of the Highway 12 Safety Coalition was to aim for zero deaths. It is a multi-
faceted approach consisting of education, law enforcement, emergency medical services, engineering and
creating a partnership with the various cities to respond as quickly as possible. In addition, the State
Patrol has come on board with policing the area in conjunction with local and sheriff departments.
Farniok noted North Memorial provides emergency medical services to this area and they have now
implemented an automatic start for air care due to the history of fatal crashes in this area.
Farniok presented a slide show showing the various accidents and the victims killed or injured in those
crashes.
Farniok stated the high number of accidents that are occurring is because of people crossing the
centerline. As a result, MN/DOT is requesting $15 million for a concrete barrier that will extend out to
Baker Park Road due to the crossover crashes. Other two elements of the bill are requesting safety
upgrades at the intersections of County Roads 90 and 92.
Farniok stated before the City Council tonight is a resolution asking for the Council’s support in this
project. The resolution will be sent to the MN Legislature.
Council Member Printup asked when the next opportunity will be to attend a committee meeting.
Farniok stated the next one will be a presentation to the MN House of Representatives on March 30 at
5 p.m. The meeting will be held in Room 10. Information on the legislation and the upcoming meeting
will be on the Orono Police Department’s website as well as the website for the Highway 12 Safety
Coalition. Farniok indicated the same information that was presented tonight will be provided to the MN
House of Representatives.
Council Member Levang asked if the information was well received.

5. RESOLUTION TO SUPPORT APPROPRIATIONS FOR U.S. HIGHWAY 12
PROJECTS, RESOLUTION NO. 6600 (continued)
Farniok indicated it was and that the legislation received unanimous support from the committee. The
legislation will now proceed to the Finance Committee.
Printup asked if the 39 percent includes the entire county or is regional.
Farniok indicated it is 39 percent of all crashes in that 38-mile section and that one-third of the accidents
in this section result in a fatality. Farniok stated this section of Highway 12 has not been improved in
over 50 years and that in most areas it would result in a 4-lane highway.
There were no public comments regarding this item.
Council Member Cornick noted the resolution described Orono’s area as being between Wayzata
Boulevard and County Road 6, which leaves out the entire area west of County Road 6. Cornick noted
there have been at least two fatalities in that area and that perhaps the description should be to Highway
29.
Farniok stated at the time the legislation was introduced, the audit identified that section. At the
committee meeting, MN/Dot indicated they would be looking at carrying the concrete barrier further
west. Farniok stated MN/DOT did not want to stall the process so they left the description as is for the
immediate upgrade.
Cornick stated in his view the City should support that entire section and add it to the resolution.
Farniok stated in his view it would not harm the legislation by amending the resolution.
Cornick indicated he has no issue with the spirit of the language.
Levang stated it probably should say to Orono’s western border since the boundary does not quite go to
Highway 29.
Levang moved, Printup seconded, to adopt RESOLUTION NO. 6600, a Resolution in Support of
Appropriations for U.S. Highway 12 Projects, with the language being amended to read to the
western border of Orono. VOTE: Ayes 4, Nays 0.
PLANNING DEPARTMENT REPORT
6. #15-3774 MICHAEL STEADMAN ON BEHALF OF IRWIN JACOBS, 1700 SHORELINE
DRIVE, EXTENSION OF HERITAGE LANE: AUTHORIZE CITY PURCHASE OF WETLAND
CREDITS
Gaffron stated the applicants are requesting approval of the City making an application to acquire wetland
credits for the extension of Heritage Lane. Preliminary plat approval was granted in December. A
portion of a small wetland within the right-of-way of Heritage Lane is proposed to be filled.

6. #15-3774 MICHAEL STEADMAN ON BEHALF OF IRWIN JACOBS, 1700 SHORELINE
DRIVE, EXTENSION OF HERITAGE LANE: AUTHORIZE CITY PURCHASE OF WETLAND
CREDITS (continued)
Senior Planner Gaffron noted the area outlined in blue on the overhead is the wetland. The area in yellow
is the area that will be filled, which is roughly half of the wetland area.
Staff initially expected, because the fill would be less than 1,000 square feet that it would not have to be
mitigated. If it was required to be mitigated, it could be done within the Jacobs’ property. In January,
based on the findings of the Technical Evaluation Panel, the existing right-of-way extension is being
considered a separate project from the subdivision. The result of this determination is that because the
portion of the right-of-way being filled exceeds five percent of the City-owned portion of the wetland, the
fill does not qualify for the deminimus exemption and must be mitigated. As a result of the wetland area
being filled extending almost to the boundaries of the road right-of-way, there is no area available on the
right-of-way to accomplish that mitigation.
Gaffron stated while mitigation could physically be accomplished within the Jacobs’ property, it is not
clear whether the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District would accept that mitigation. Therefore, the
developer is pursuing purchase of wetland credits for this impact.
The developer has located wetland credits within the state wetland bank and has provided the paperwork
for City execution. The City is considered as the applicant since the impacts are to a wetland on City
property. There are three documents to be executed by the City:
1. Wetland credits purchase agreement between the Seller Jeff Richards and the City of Orono. This
needs to be signed by an authorized representative of the City as “buyer”. The City Attorney has
concluded that this agreement must be considered as a contract, which requires Council
authorization to proceed. In addition, the City will be required to provide a check for $500.00 as
earnest money with the purchase agreement. This money will be refunded by the developer.
2. BWSR transaction form for withdrawal of credits from Minnesota Wetland Bank.
3. Joint Application form. This form is submitted to the MCWD and other agencies for approval of
the use of wetland credits for mitigation and requires Council authorization.
Gaffron stated if it is approved by the MCWD and the BWSR, the City would have a balance due to the
seller at closing of $1,320.81 and a fee due to BWSR of $115.63, which will also be reimbursed by the
developer.
Staff is recommending approval of the documents.
Printup asked if there is going to be a section of the road that will be private.
Gaffron indicated there will not be. Gaffron stated as approved in the preliminary plat resolution, that
entire road up to and including the cul-de-sac will be public and maintained by the City. It will also
contain city sewer lines. Gaffron stated whether or not the existing cul-de-sac gets changed or removed
or left as is remains to be discussed.

DRIVE, EXTENSION OF HERITAGE LANE: AUTHORIZE CITY PURCHASE OF WETLAND
CREDITS (continued)
Michael Steadman stated he has nothing to add to Staff’s report.
Mayor McMillan asked if anyone from the public would like to comment on this application.
Kevin Kokesh, Attorney-at-Law, stated he represents Dr. Komer, who resides at 1005 Heritage Lane.
Kokesh stated he has reviewed these materials and that there are a couple of items that he would like to
address. Kokesh stated it is a little upsetting that the City is now going to help the developer get the
wetland credits but that he can understand the developer doing it.
Kokesh stated everything that was told to the residents about deminimus exception or exemption is
apparently not true anymore and that there is a problem with the wetland being filled. Kokesh stated he
would not expect the City to stand in the way of that but for the City to go out of their way with a joint
application is a little bit disturbing since the Council knows the residents do not want this access. Kokesh
stated in the residents’ view there is an alternative access from Shoreline and that there is already a road
going through the back of the property.
Kokesh stated the other point he would like to raise is about the application itself. Kokesh noted on
Page 8 there is a section under avoidance, which states, “The applicant has to show alternatives that could
be done that would avoid having to fill this wetland.” It clearly states that no feasible alternatives for
access exist, which is a false statement. Kokesh stated he can understand the applicant saying that, but for
the City to be making a statement like that is dicey when they know there is an alternative.
Kokesh stated at the very least the application should be changed to reflect the facts of the situation and
not contain an intentionally misleading statement.
City Attorney Mattick stated the reason for the joint application is because it is a public road and is a city-
owned street. Since the City will have an interest in it, they need to sign off on the application.
Mattick stated he understands there is a disagreement on whether that road should be used but that is what
the City approved. Because it is a public road, the City is a joint applicant on the wetland credits. In
terms of the alternative access, Mattick stated he understands Mr. Kokesh’s point, but that access utilizing
the county road has been rejected. In order to extend that road through that corridor, it needs to be filled
in. It was considered a deminimus project right up to the point where the Minnehaha Creek Watershed
District said this is two separate projects.
Mattick noted it should be pointed out that the developer is paying for all costs associated with this.
Kokesh stated the assumption in the application that the right-of-way is there to connect to the
neighboring plat is not correct as well. Kokesh stated when you plat out subdivisions and you put a road
in, you start at one end of the subdivision and you continue to the other end of the subdivision. Kokesh
stated the intentionality of it to connect to the Jacobs’ property is an assumption that was made and that
nobody knew that the person who platted it originally wanted to connect to the Jacobs’ property. Kokesh
stated that road was never done and never approved, so the idea of avoiding a landlocked parcel is not
correct.

DRIVE, EXTENSION OF HERITAGE LANE: AUTHORIZE CITY PURCHASE OF WETLAND
CREDITS (continued)
Mattick stated that is a very common platting principle. When someone plats a piece of property, they
extend at least the road right-of-way but not necessarily the road so there will be continuous connectivity
to other parcels should they choose to be subdivided at some point. Mattick stated as far as whether it is
an assumption that it is going to be subdivided is unknown at this point but that it is good planning, which
is what occurred here.
Kokesh commented he also did not like the fact that the $500 earnest money is already in the City’s check
register before there is even a chance for the Council to discuss it.
Mattick noted the applicant is required to submit that money as part of the application and would have
been returned if it was denied.
Dennis Libby, 1000 Heritage Lane, stated in the extension from the right-of-way, which he is not
contesting, there is a substantial amount of distance from the perimeter of the actual platted property line
into the actual cul-de-sac. Libby stated as a point of information and partially as a question, he would like
to know whether an arrangement has been made privately or publicly with the Jacobs to incorporate part
of the private access that will extend into the cul-de-sac. Libby noted that will need to be maintained by
private services but that there needs to be an egress and the ability for the school bus and snow plow to
turn around. Libby asked whether that has been addressed.
Gaffron stated the extension past the property boundary and to the new cul-de-sac is being platted as
dedicated roadway and will be a city road from the start. The plat has never contemplated that that
extension would be private, and in the preliminary plat approvals, the cul-de-sac is public, which means
that service vehicles would have every right to use it along with the residents.
Libby stated he has a concern with the runoff since his property sits lower in elevation from the wetland
delineation. Libby noted when he originally purchased his property, he experienced problems with water
intrusion, and in order to remediate that, he came to the City and it was recommended he consult with an
engineer. Libby indicated he spent thousands of dollars correcting that water intrusion, but that with the
changes that are being proposed, such as the regrading and the addition of the road, whether he should
assume, given the developer’s commitment to remediate any changes, that any costs or inconveniences
that would be associated with that right-of-way extension would be borne by the developer or whether it
would be the City since they really are the owner of the right-of-way.
Mattick stated it is a developer project and that the developer will assume the cost to put in the road.
Mattick indicated he is not sure what Mr. Libby means by inconveniences but that the developer is
responsible for constructing the road.
Libby stated the water and runoff was removed from his property by virtue of swales and drainage that
move it towards the pond. Libby stated if there are elevation changes to put a roadway in, there will have
to be a substantial amount of fill put in there. Libby stated despite his appeal on several occasions before
the City Council, he has never really gotten an answer from anyone. Instead, the developer has diverted
the conversation away from these basic principal questions.

Libby stated while the Mayor is a champion of private property owner rights, he is a private property
owner that is going to be impacted by this development and that he would like to get some answers on
this from the developer.
McMillan asked if Mr. Libby is wondering whether he would seek damages from the city or from the
developer if problems arise because of the road being put in.
Libby stated he is not really asking for compensation.
McMillan stated her understanding of what Mr. Libby is asking is who he would turn to if there are
problems on his property as a result of the road being built.
Mattick stated it will depend on what happens. If there is a fundamental flaw in the design, the City will
review it with the developer and it will need to be revised. Mattick stated he is not sure where the
developer is at with the road design but that he has yet to see a road design that does not look at the
runoff. Mattick stated he cannot comment on the road design and whether there will be water runoff but
that the developer or Staff could address that.
Libby stated given his 30 years of experience in real estate, he has a clear understanding of road plans and
that the ponding requirements and some of the other elements of the development are known to him.
Libby stated what is not clear is the drainage, which could impact his capital investment and that he is not
looking for compensation.
McMillan stated she understands that Mr. Libby would like to know who he can contact if something
wrong happens and that she appreciates Mr. Libby alerting the City to the issues with this property.
McMillan stated she is hopeful the City Engineer and Staff will be confident that the road design will not
impact Mr. Libby’s property. McMillan noted Mr. Libby is on record about the past water issues and the
repairs that were made previously.
Libby stated in the past he has typically concentrated on the impacts to the neighborhood, but that this
was an opportunity to encourage the Council to look at this from a private property owner’s perspective.
Levang moved, Cornick seconded, to authorize execution of the Wetland Credits Purchase
Agreement, Transaction Form and Joint Application Form.
Cornick asked if there is a process where the City could have an agreement with the developer that would
protect Mr. Libby somehow.
Mattick stated they are at the preliminary plat stage right now and that there will be a development
agreement executed at some point. Mattick stated all road plans will be reviewed and approved by the
City Engineer, which is one of the fundamental terms of the development agreement. Mattick noted one
of the issues that is reviewed as part of that is the runoff.

Cornick asked whether Mr. Libby would be protected if the worst situation happens and the water goes
onto his property.
Mattick stated it would depend on what happens and the reasons for the flooding. Mattick noted the
flooding that occurred along Lake Minnetonka was unavoidable. In this situation the City has an
obligation to review the plans to make sure that at a planning level the water is being directed where it
should go. Following construction of the road, it will also be inspected to make sure it was put in
correctly.

Gaffron noted on March 14 the City Council voted to direct Staff to draft a resolution for preliminary
approval of an amendment of the Orono Comprehensive Plan to allow development of the property at a
density of approximately three units per acre for adoption on March 28 and submission to the
Metropolitan Council for review and approval.
Council also directed that a resolution for preliminary plat approval be drafted for review and
consideration. It was noted that while the Council supports the rezoning to RPUD, the rezoning would be
enacted later as part of final plat approval.
Staff did receive comments from Hennepin County and include the following:
1. The County has indicated they will issue a permit for relocating westward of the Dumas Orchard
farm road access at the northwest corner of the preserve property.
2. No additional right-of-way nor easement is required.
3. Support for the proposed pedestrian connection from the northeast cul-de-sac to the Old Crystal
Bay/Wayzata Boulevard intersection and support for a future connecting sidewalk on the west
side of Old Crystal Bay Road north of Wayzata Boulevard.
4. Guidelines for a future access to Wayzata Boulevard should the Dumas property develop.
5. Suggested reconsideration of the trail along the north side of Wayzata Boulevard that is proposed
as part of the turnback roadway project design.
6. Developer advised of requirement for Hennepin County permits for work in the right-of-way.

Council consideration and discussion. Adoption of the resolution at the March 24 meeting is not
recommended as Staff would like additional time to refine it and bring it back for formal action on
April 11.
Staff does recommend adoption of the resolution granting preliminary approval for the Comprehensive
Plan Amendment. Following approval, the amendment, application and appropriate attachments will be
forwarded to the Metropolitan Council for their review as soon as possible.
McMillan asked if there was any discussion about a trail on the south side of the road.
Gaffron indicated Hennepin County did not feel it was necessary to have a trail on both sides of the road
as long as there was an internal roadway system.
Printup stated in regards to the plan before the Council tonight, he does not really have any complaints,
but that the City should at least require an easement along Old Highway 12 for this property and the
Dumas property. Printup stated once the Dumas property is developed, it will be inviting for people to try
to get up to the stoplight and the crosswalk rather than a midway crosswalk. Printup stated if that day
ever comes when the Dumas property is developed, the City can say they planned for it.
Printup stated with regard to the County recommendations about reconsidering the trail along the north
side of Wayzata Boulevard, in his view the City should strike that from anything being discussed so it
does not imply that the City condones something like that. Printup noted the school is not aware of any
County reconsideration of the trail along the north side of Wayzata Boulevard.
Gaffron stated that recommendation is in letter form from Hennepin County and that it is a question of
how much should be included in the City’s resolution of approval. Gaffron noted Page 12 talks about
street lighting and an internal sidewalk system but that he does not believe there is any other place in the
resolution where it talks about yes or no to a trail along Highway 12.
Gaffron noted the Planning Commission, Park Commission, and a majority of the Council did not feel a
parallel trail along the west side of Crystal Bay was needed but that they did not address whether there
should be a parallel trail along Wayzata Boulevard.
Tom Gonyea, Applicant, stated as it relates to the sidewalks, in his view it seems like it will be redundant
given the internal sidewalk. An easement along Highway 12 would also inhibit his ability to screen
things a little bit. Gonyea stated if that internal system continued into the Dumas property, it would offer
a way to get up to the intersection along a quieter road and not along Highway 12.
Gaffron pointed out the lots along Wayzata Boulevard would have a berm that extends from existing
grade up to a high point. Gaffron stated if an additional ten feet is taken, it would push the berm and
screening closer to the back yards.

AND COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT, PRELIMINARY PLAT APPROVAL,
RESOLUTION NO. 6599 (continued)
Gonyea stated it could also potentially shrink the elevation.
City Administrator Loftus asked how many potential units could be constructed on the Dumas and
Eisenger properties.
Gaffron stated for the Eisenger property, they are looking at 27 units with the potential for a multi-family
building. The Dumas property is guided for seven to ten units per acre, with the potential for as many as
150 units.
Loftus questioned if the residents on the corner would be okay with pedestrians from 175 units passing
by.
Gonyea indicated in other cities, such as Maple Grove, they have designated trails, which would be the
situation here. Gonyea stated how heavily traveled it is would be up in the air.
Printup stated given the future development of the Eisenger and Dumas properties, that is exactly why the
City should obtain an easement on this property. Printup stated another issue that is not fully known at
this time is if there are wetlands on those properties and how they will be navigated. Printup stated
having a trail along a road where the speed limit is 50 miles an hour is a concern, but the City should have
an easement to help plan for the future developments.
McMillan stated the turnback committee talked about the trail going all the way down to Highway 6 but
that there are some wetlands that would make that difficult. In addition, the school wanted that
connection to their back trail. Hennepin County indicated they were okay with the trail going on the
north side. McMillan stated she is not sure if they should require a trail on the south side as well.
Loftus stated cost-wise now would be the best time to do it.
McMillan asked when a decision would be required on the easement.
Gaffron stated that is something that needs to be decided in the near future so it can be included in the
preliminary plat approval resolution.
McMillan asked if they will be shrinking that road or whether it will be made wider.
Loftus indicated she does not believe it will change significantly.
Gonyea noted the County has quite a bit of right-of-way in that area and that there are some
improvements along that road that are being considered. Gonyea stated right now there is a lot of excess
right-of-way there and that it might make sense to approach Hennepin County to ask for a 10-foot trail
along the edge of the road.
Levang stated she prefers that option since it would give those homeowners more privacy. Levang asked
how much feet belongs to the County.

RESOLUTION NO. 6599 (continued)
Gaffron indicated the County has 100 feet further west, with the right-of-way being depicted by the black
line on the map.
Levang stated 10 feet for the County would not have the same impact as it would for Mr. Gonyea.
Gaffron stated the white line depicts the ditch.
Printup asked what would make the most sense for the City of Orono. Printup asked if the costs of the
trail would come out of the turnback money.
Loftus indicated typically the cities are responsible for trails. Loftus stated if it is outside the curb, the
local jurisdiction would pay for any improvements.
Mattick stated if the developer is requesting to put the trail outside of his property and the County is okay
with that, that cost would likely fall on the developer.
Gaffron noted the City in the past has given developers credit on park fees when they have constructed a
trail. Gaffron indicated the City did obtain an easement from JEM with no expectation as to when or how
that trail will be built and that there is an agreement that the City would pay for the trail if they were given
an easement.
Printup stated in his view it is important to get the easement for the future.
McMillan asked if the developer could plant trees on the easement.
Gonyea stated down the road any trees planted on the easement could create an issue for the City, and that
if trees are planted, it would be better on the County property or within the development.
Printup stated obtaining an easement over this property would also help serve as a guide for the properties
going westward and that the trail does not necessarily have to be built.
Gonyea pointed out the location of the proposed sidewalk within the development. Gonyea indicated he
can certainly look at the location of the sidewalk to see if it can be moved south a little bit to provide for
some berming. Gonyea asked if they would receive credit for the easement against the park dedication
fee.
Gaffron stated if a trail is constructed at the developer’s cost, then that would be credited, but that they
would not get credit for the easement.
Gonyea asked whether the City would still want the internal sidewalk as well as a trail.
Levang commented that is a good question and that there might be some redundancy there.

CRYSTAL BAY ROAD NORTH, PRELIMINARY PLAT APPROVAL – DRAFT RESOLUTION
AND COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT, PRELIMINARY PLAT APPROVAL,
RESOLUTION NO. 6599 (continued)
Gonyea indicated he could look at constructing the trail towards the back but that the berming is an
important feature for the residents abutting Highway 12.
Levang asked if he would eliminate the entire internal sidewalk.
Gonyea indicated he would eliminate the part that is parallel to the trail but still construct the other
portion of the sidewalk. Gonyea noted part of the objective with the layout was to have room to park a
car in the driveway, and if the sidewalk is not there, they would have some additional room to work with.
McMillan stated a trail that goes to the western boundary would not hook up into the development unless
there is a path to it. McMillan stated in her view this neighborhood would not really use the trail.
Printup stated they do not want a trail going nowhere, but if that one segment of sidewalk is benefitting
12 homes, the idea of an internal sidewalk is worth pursuing. Printup stated he is an advocate of having
the easement regardless of when the trail is built.
Gonyea stated if the City decided they wanted the trail along the northern edge of the property at some
point, he could provide the money to construct it in at a later date. Gonyea stated it does not make a lot of
sense now to put it in until the other properties are developed.
McMillan noted there will be a trail on the south side of Old Crystal Bay Road going to the east. If the
Dumas property gets developed and continues around the wetland, then an internal sidewalk would be
nice. McMillan stated she is usually hesitant about sidewalks but that in this case it makes sense.
Mattick stated sidewalks can be located within the public right-of-way and that the City does have the
right to make the abutting property owner responsible for clearing them.
Gaffron stated as they are currently laid out, they are within the right-of-way just outside the abutting
individual plot lines.
Gonyea asked if Staff could contact the County in the next few days to see whether they would be open to
platting the easement within their right-of-way.
Gaffron indicated he can speak with the County about the possibility of a trail on the south side and
whether they feel there is enough room within their right-of-way for that trail.
Cornick asked if any Highway 12 turnback funds would be available for the trail.
Loftus stated the City has been told that the turnback funds will cover the costs of anything that would be
replaced but that anything new would fall onto the local jurisdiction.
McMillan noted street lighting within this development was also an issue raised by Staff.

AND COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT, PRELIMINARY PLAT APPROVAL,
RESOLUTION NO. 6599 (continued)
McMillan indicated she drove through the Stone Bay development tonight to see how many streetlights
there are and that she can where streetlights might be desired at the road intersections. McMillan stated
she would prefer that the rest of the development not have a lot of streetlights.
Gonyea stated other cities will typically have a streetlight every 400 feet in addition to ones at
intersections and cul-de-sacs. Gonyea stated that is done primarily from a safety standpoint and that it
provides a sense of security in a neighborhood like this. Gonyea stated the streetlights do not have to be
as high as they normally are and could have more of a decorative design. Gonyea stated he would like
direction from the City on that.
McMillan asked if individual lots could have their own security lights.
Gonyea indicated he would prefer it to go into the electrical system underground and then charged back to
the property owners.
Gaffron noted the City’s Code does not have a specific standard for street lighting and that he would
suggest the developer provide a proposed lighting plan as part of the final plat review.
Gonyea stated they could also look at more downcast lights as well.
Levang noted the City may have a new lighting ordinance in the near future and that perhaps they should
look at that to see how it would impact this development. Levang commented Orono is considered more
of a dark sky environment.
Gonyea stated in a more urban setting, such as this development, people tend to be out more at night and
that there is a greater need for street lighting.
McMillan asked who would be billed for the lighting. McMillan noted in the Stone Bay development it is
charged back to the homeowners association.
Gaffron stated that will need to be another point of discussion. Gaffron noted the stormwater facilities are
within private lots and that it is not fair to make the person abutting that maintain it. Gaffron stated the
stormwater maintenance should probably be a homeowners association responsibility or else the
responsibility of the City.
Mattick stated it is not practical to say that each of those homeowners will be responsible for a portion of
the pond and that typically either the City does it or there is a homeowners association. Mattick stated a
stormwater pond is one of those deferred maintenance things that is starting to come up more and more
and that the City has taken responsibility for it upfront as part of a stormwater management fee.
Gaffron noted there will be 39 new lots paying toward the quarterly stormwater management fee.
McMillan stated her thought was to have the City be responsible for it.

Mattick noted the City would also require access to that area.
Gonyea stated it is his recollection there is a wider easement in that area.
It was the consensus of the City Council to have the City maintain the stormwater pond.
Gaffron stated on Page 18 of the draft resolution, an item of discussion is whether an escrow for design
work should be required for the sewer. Gaffron stated to his knowledge the City Engineer has put
together a breakdown of the engineering estimate for the design work but that he does not have that
available tonight.
Gaffron indicated he will follow up on the points raised by the City Council and will bring it back for
Council review and approval at the first meeting in April.
Gaffron stated the only other point is if the Metropolitan Council delays the Comprehensive Plan
Amendment until the City guides other properties for higher density, then the City will have to make
some progress on that fairly quickly.
Cornick asked whether a 7.5 foot setback will be part of the plan.
Gaffron stated the chart on Page 7 of the draft resolution illustrates the RPUD standards and will need to
be changed since there was a discussion about having a 7.5 foot setback.
Printup moved, Levang seconded, to adopt RESOLUTION NO. , a Resolution Granting
Preliminary Approval of Amendment #4 of the Orono 2008-2030 Community Management Plan,
425-595 Old Crystal Bay Road North, File No. 16-3807.
Cornick asked whether language needs to be added to the resolution about the possible easement.
Gaffron indicated Staff will review with the County possible options for a trail along the south side of
Wayzata Boulevard and bring that item back for discussion at the next City Council meeting.
*8. REVIEW OF SPECIAL EVENT PERMIT – “LONG LAKE ROWING CREW”

Levang stated given the nice spring weather, the golf course will open tomorrow and that they are hoping
for a very good season. Levang stated the golf course has a Groupon coupon available right now and that
they are attempting to market the season passes.
Levang stated the next City newsletter will be out next week.
Levang reported the Navarre Community Initiative Committee met again last week and that they are in
the process of planning the second annual Navarre festival.
Printup noted there will be a meeting at the state capitol on Wednesday, March 30, at 4:30 regarding the
proposed Highway 12 improvements.
CITY ADMINISTRATOR’S REPORT
9. PROSECUTING ATTORNEY – REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL (RFP)
Loftus noted in January there was discussion about establishing a rotating schedule for RFPs. Staff has
drafted an RPF for prosecuting attorney services for Council input. Also laid out in Staff’s report are
some typical steps in this process.
Loftus stated she is looking for Council input on the timeline and how the Council would like to be
involved. Loftus noted the entire Council could be involved in the interview process.
Printup asked if Council Member Walsh has provided any comments about the process.
Loftus stated she did receive an e-mail from Council Member Walsh about how he would like the service
contract to read, which will not occur until later in the process. Council Member Walsh recommended
that the contract contain a good termination clause.
McMillan stated in her view the whole City Council should receive the proposals and provide input on
which firms they would like to interview. McMillan recommended Staff also put down their
recommendations and then consolidate the two lists. McMillan indicated the Council could have a special
work session to conduct the interviews.
Levang noted Police Chief Farniok provided some important background information about the role of
the prosecuting attorney in the past and that perhaps that kind of background could be prepared for
Council review. Levang noted there are a limited number of people in the community who really focus in
this area.
Loftus stated she attempted to draft the RFP to specifically request the firm address their local relevant
experience. Loftus stated one of Chief Farniok’s points was that it is extremely important that the
prosecuting attorney is independent of political influence and has impartial judgment. Loftus stated in
Staff’s view an annual report to the Council would be very important and is detailed in the RFP.
Cornick stated as a former law enforcement officer, he understands the importance of continuity with the
prosecutor, which should be taken into consideration rather than simply taking the lowest bidder.

Printup stated he understands the spirit of that but that the Council is not going into the process 100
percent impartial.
McMillan commented no one can ever be totally impartial.
Printup stated he struggles with giving added weight to somebody who has done the job in the past.
Loftus stated the current firm will likely score high on the criteria C1, which relates to their experience,
but that there are opportunities to rate the various firms on different factors.
Cornick stated if this is being done every five years and there is a different low bidder every time, the
prosecutor will be rotated quite often, which could turn into a bad situation.
Printup stated reviewing it every five years helps keep the process honest.
McMillan stated it will depend on what someone’s criteria are.
Levang noted the Council agrees to the RFP and that it is a healthy thing to do, but that the issue of good
service also needs to be recognized.
Printup moved, Cornick seconded, to approve the Request for Proposal for the City of Orono
prosecuting attorney for advertisement.
Levang asked if the list of local firms contains all the law firms within the area.
Loftus stated this is a list of local law firms that will be provided the RFP but that the RFP process would
be open to any law firm that is interested.

PUBLIC COMMENT (continued)
Bonnett stated he is disenfranchised because the homeowner has lied to him on a number of occasions
about his project. The homeowner said to the City Council that they have a growing family which is why
they want to do the project, that it would merely be a second floor remodel, and that the height of the
windows would not change. Bonnett stated those have turned out to be untrue.
Bonnett stated the neighbor also indicated to him that they will not be addressing any drainage problems.
Gaffron stated he has not been involved in any of these issues.
Bonnett stated they have also asked the neighbor to pick up debris in their yard and he told them to call
the builder. Bonnett stated he wishes the Council would address these variance issues and that he is here
tonight to let the Council know that they feel very badly about this project and this process. Bonnett
stated they had a great life here in Orono until the variances were approved.
CLOSED SESSION
Levang moved, Printup seconded, to enter into Closed Session as permitted by the attorney-client

Fire Service Information
The City of Orono has contracted with the City of Wayzata for fire service to a portion of Orono
since 1962. The contract service cost for 2016 is $29,234.
As depicted with red in the attached map, Wayzata Fire Department serves 180 parcels on the
east side Orono. The service area is 6% of total parcels in Orono.
The Long Lake Fire Department could include the area into their service contract for $8,168.
The contract change would reduce the city’s fire cost by $21,066.
The table below lists the average response time and distance from each department:

ITEM NO: 7
Department Approval: Administrator Reviewed: Agenda Section:
Name Jeremy Barnhart JML Planning
Title Community Development Director
Item Description: Text Amendment Pertaining to Docks for Emergency Use
Application Summary
The text amendment defines county docks and establishes the same as a permitted use, provided
it meets the requirements. This amendment would allow Hennepin County, and only Hennepin
County, to install a dock for emergency access. Staff and the Planning Commission recommend
approval of the text amendment as drafted.
Planning Commission Recommendation
The Planning Commission reviewed the draft on March 21st. With aid from Gabriel Jabbour, the
Commission accepted the ordinance, and added a statement that the dock structure should be
fenced and gated.
The Commission discussed limiting the number of County Docks within the community, but
ultimately did not suggest a formal change to the draft, agreeing with the assertion that another
dock, meeting all of the criteria, would be beneficial to the city.
Planning Staff Recommendation
Staff supports the changes suggested by the Planning Commission, and recommends approval of
the ordinance as drafted.
Action Requested:
Approve the amendment to 78-1 definitions and the LR-1A zoning district to allow County
Docks to be a permitted use.

#15-3792 Jon & Ben Kieffer, 2024 Shadywood Road – Review Revised Plans
Zoning District: LR-1C, One Family Lakeshore Residential, 0.5-acre, 100’
Existing Lot Area & Width: 0.21 acre, 38’ wide at OHWL, 41’ wide at Street
List of Exhibits:
Exhibit A. Resolution No. 6581 – February 2016 – incl. Orig. Garage Plans (Exh. A & C)
Exhibit B. Revised Garage Plans – March/April 2016
Exhibit C. Neighbor Letter of Support 4/3/16
Exhibit D. Draft Resolution to Amend Resolution No. 6581
Background
The applicants were approved in February for a variance to locate a new detached garage 5 feet
from the side lot line instead of the standard 10-foot setback. The orientation of the roof line in
the plans associated with that variance runs north-south, directing drainage to the east or west
rather than to the side.
Applicants have slightly revised their plan to have the roof line run east-west, which would drain
half of the roof directly toward the neighboring property 5 feet away. Because this revision has a
potential impact on the drainage in this minimal setback situation, staff is bringing it back to
Council for review and amendment of the approved plan.
Analysis
The applicants note that the revised roof line will be more in character with the similar roof line
of the existing residence. The garage footprint dimensions and height are not changing, and it
will not include the dormers initially proposed. Applicants have obtained a letter of support for
this change from the affected neighbor to the south. Finally, applicants have agreed to install a
roof gutter system along the south side to direct drainage to the east and west rather than toward
the neighboring property.
Staff Recommendation
Staff recommends approval of the change, subject to requiring that gutters be installed along the
south roof line. A resolution for amending the prior approval is attached for Council adoption.
COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED
Consider a motion to adopt the attached resolution entitled A Resolution Amending Certain
Provisions of Resolution No. 6581 for Property Located at 2024 Shadywood Road – File No.

On March 28 the City Council voted 4-0 to direct staff to revise the draft preliminary plat
approval resolution and to forward to Metropolitan Council the Comprehensive Plan
Amendment. The Comp Plan Amendment was submitted to Metropolitan Council for review and
approval on March 31.
The Preliminary Plat Approval resolution has been revised as follows:
- The table on page 7 has been revised to indicate that side setbacks will be per the color-
coded Setback Exhibit provided by the applicant, and that plan will be attached as Exhibit
B-19 (on page 10 of 20).
- The list of plans on page 10 has also been revised to include as Exhibit B-20 the
conceptual street lighting plan submitted by the applicant and attached to this memo.
- Item 3 on page 12 of 20 confirms that the interior sidewalk system will be maintained by
the abutting residents, except the segment from the northeast cul-de-sac to the
intersection of Wayzata Blvd and OCB Road will be maintained by the City.
- Item 5 on page 12 confirms the ownership and maintenance of street lighting and
references the submitted conceptual street lighting plan.
- Item C(3) on page 14 has been revised to note that stormwater system maintenance will
be the City’s responsibility, and that developer is obligated in configuring the final plat to
provide access for future City maintenance of the system.
- The requirement for escrow for sewer and water system design has been deleted, as City
Engineer Adam Edwards has confirmed that no such escrow is required from this
developer.
#16-3807 Orono Preserve
April 7, 2016

Trail Discussion
On April 7 in a conversation with Bob Byers of Hennepin County, Byers reinforced the
comments in their March 24 letter regarding the establishment of trails along Wayzata
Boulevard. County Transportation Department staff are not in favor of any trails along the right-
of-way of Wayzata Boulevard west of Old Crystal Bay Road. They would encourage the use of
internal trails or sidewalks on both sides of the corridor. Specifically, they would expect that
if/when the Dumas property develops, that development would extend the internal sidewalk
system proposed in Orono Preserve. On the north side of Wayzata Boulevard, they would
encourage the Orono Schools to establish a sidewalk along the west side of OCB Road from the
signalized intersection to the parking lot, then if a pedestrian corridor is desired by the Schools to
connect to their west entrance, to accomplish that internally rather than along Wayzata
Boulevard.
Applicant has submitted an aerial view depicting a 10’ trail easement inside the northerly
boundary of the property (Exhibit D-1). In order to better visualize the impacts of such a trail
easement staff has included perimeter buffer cross-section (Exhibit D-2) and an enlargement of
the proposed grading plan for that area (Exhibit E). Establishment of a 10’ easement is fairly
inconsequential, while actually developing a trail within the easement will have significant
impacts on the current layout and buffer plan:
- The location and topography of the road ditch within the right-of-way makes it very
unlikely that a trail could be developed within the existing right-of-way, forcing it into
the Preserve property.
- Building a trail within a 10’ trail easement would conflict with the proposed berms and
plantings in the northerly 25-30’ of Lots 1-2-3-4 and 7. It would require that 1) the berms
and plantings would have to be moved further south, reducing the depth of the already
minimal rear yards of those homes; or 2) the north side of the berms would have to be
excavated and a retaining wall established, perhaps as high as 4 feet, in order to provide
flat bench for the trail, jeopardizing the vegetative screening.
- Moving the internal road even a short distance south would further restrict the minimal
yards of lots to the south of that road, which are already squeezed between the road and
the wetlands & stormwater ponding area.
Based on the above, staff does not support the concept of a trail along the south side of Wayzata
Boulevard. No trail or trail easement requirement has been added to the Preliminary Plat
Resolution at this time.
Staff Recommendation
The attached resolution for Concept Plan and Preliminary Plat Approval (Exhibit A) has been
revised per Council’s directions on March 28. Staff recommends adoption of the resolution.

#16-3803, Stonewood LLC o/b/o Tashitaa Tufaa, 1830 Shoreline Drive, Variances & CUP - Resolution
Background:
In March the Council reviewed this application for variances and a CUP a second time and voted 3 to 2 to
direct staff to draft a resolution reflecting the following:
1. Approval of the lot width and lot area variances in accordance with the survey dated 03/10/16;
2. Approval of the side street setback variance according to the revised survey dated 03/10/16;
3. Approval of the 2nd driveway access provided the Heritage Drive curb cut is reduced to a feasibly
minimum width; and
4. Approval of the conditional use permit for grading with the following conditions:
a. A haul route shall be submitted to the City Engineer for approval and inspection prior to
commencement of hauling from the site. The property owner shall be responsible for cleaning
and repair of roadways for any adverse impacts;
b. Submittal of a detailed landscape plan which accomplishes the direction of the planning
commission and City Council. Landscape plan should include some infiltration basin, rain
garden, or rate control opportunity prior to the storm water from the swale crossing CSAH 15
to the lake. The landscape plan should also provide sufficient detail to assure screening of the
garage stalls from the property to the west by way of vegetation, fencing, or combination of
both;
c. Removal and restoration of the curb cut accessing CSAH 15 prior to issuance of a certificate of
occupancy;
d. Upon completion of the project an as-built survey shall be submitted reflecting conformance
with the approved plan. The site will be evaluated from an erosion and sediment control risk
perspective prior to release of escrow funds; and
e. Protection of the existing trees from grading and trucking via snow fence or similar.
The minutes detailing the discussion from the March 14th meeting are attached as Exhibit D.
Updates:
At the Council’s direction the applicant reduced the width of the second driveway (Heritage Drive) to 12 feet
with a 3 foot unpaved, reinforced turf flare as the driveway meets the roadway. The applicant has provided a
detailed landscape plan which enhances the existing vegetation and offers screening on the perimeter of the
property as well as provides for infiltration at the termination of the swale. The landscape plan includes a 42”
tall iron fence and entrance monuments with gates; a permit will be required for the monuments and gates.
Staff will assure conformance to the Code.
Planning Staff Recommendation:
Staff has drafted an approval resolution reflecting the Council’s direction at the March 14th meeting.

Application Summary: The applicant requests lot area and lot width variances in order to
construct a new residence to replace the existing residence on the property. This small lot would
qualify for buildability without area and width variances under the Shoreland regulations;
however, a qualifier for taking advantage of that is a hardcover limitation of 25%. This property
is in Tier 3 which normally allows 35% hardcover. In order to be able to exceed 25% up to the
35% limit, the lot area and width variance is required.
Please review the attached Planning Commission memo and exhibits.
Planning Commission Recommendation: The Planning Commission reviewed this application
and held a public hearing at its March 21st meeting, and voted 5-0 to recommend approval of the
lot area and width variances as proposed.
Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends approval per the Planning Commission
recommendation. A Resolution for approval is attached for Council consideration and adoption.

#16-3813, Dale Gustafson o/b/o Matt Burns, 1180 Loma Linda, Variances - Resolution
Application Summary:
Last February, the City issued a permit to rebuild the existing boathouse on the property in-kind. The
boathouse reconstruction is nearly complete; the next step is the final lake yard landscaping. The applicant is
proposing to construct tiered retaining walls in order to stabilize the portion of the slope between the existing
stair and the boathouse; vegetative screening is planned. Because the retaining walls are considered
hardcover and are not allowed within the 75-setback, hardcover and setback variances are required. An
existing 1.5 foot tall wall is proposed to be rebuilt in-kind on the north side of the property. A new, lower wall
will be as close as 10 feet to the lake. The overall property hardcover will be 22%, below the 25% allowance.
The applicant is showing removal of the portion of the existing wall which crosses the property line;
permission from the neighbor should be obtained.
Planning Commission Recommendation
On March 21, the Planning Commission held a public hearing and reviewed the application including the
evidence submitted. Following the public hearing the Commission voted 5 to 0 on a motion to approve the
tiered walls as shown on the plan with the following conditions:
1. The landscape plan should be revised to include screening of the lower wall in the tiered wall system.
2. Written permission must be obtained from the property owner on the north side prior to issuance of
the permit.
Planning Staff Recommendation
The applicant has submitted a revised landscape plan which accomplishes Staff’s and Planning Commission’s
goals for screening. Staff recommends approval of the plan as revised. A draft approval resolution has been
provided for Council’s consideration.
COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED

B – Notice of PC Action 3/29/16
C – Planning Commission Memo and Exhibits dated 3/15/16
Application Summary: The applicants request average lakeshore setback and hardcover
variances in order to construct a new residence to replace the existing residence.
Planning Commission Recommendation: The Planning Commission reviewed this application
and held a public hearing at its March 21st meeting, and voted 3-2 to recommend approval of the
average setback variance and the hardcover variance. Planning Commission noted that the 3-2
vote resulted primarily from the issue of the hardcover variance request, as there appeared to be
unanimous support for the average setback variance. The minority voters indicated that with the
proposed complete demolition and rebuild in a different configuration, they were not able to
justify the need for a hardcover amount greater than the standard 25% allotment.
Staff Recommendation: If Council determines that the practical difficulties test is met and one
or both variances are justified, then a partial or full approval may be in order.
Please review the attached Planning Commission memo and exhibits, and also please review
the PC minutes for details of the discussion and varying positions regarding the requested
hardcover variance.
COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED
Motion to direct staff to draft a resolution reflecting Council’s conclusions regarding granting of
the requested variances, for review and consideration on April 25. Note that the applicants will
be notified that the 60-day review period will be extended another 60 days because final Council
action will not be possible before the April 17th end of the initial 60-day review period.

Item Description: Text Amendment Pertaining to Lighting Regulations, Nuisances
Application Summary
The text amendment is in the form of two separate ordinances, amending both Section 78 of the
City Code (Land Use) and Chapter 70 (Offenses and Miscellaneous Provisions).
Recommended changes to Chapter 78 establish guidance and regulation for property owners
throughout the city, with the goals of preserving a dark sky characteristic, minimizing light and
glare “bleed” onto adjacent parcels.
Recommended changes to Section 70 establish lighting that is measurable over 1.0 foot-candle
(fc) to be a nuisance.
Any changes to Chapter 78 would grandfather existing fixtures that do not meet the
requirements. These fixtures would be allowed to remain in perpetuity until they are removed or
otherwise abandoned for 6 months or more. Therefore, Chapter 70 is critical in addressing
ongoing issues with nuisance lighting.
Planning Commission Recommendation
The Planning Commission has reviewed this ordinance in its evolving forms over the last several
months. The Commission felt that the ordinance achieves the stated goals: provide guidance
and direction for property owners, establish an enforceable standard for obtrusive lighting, and
promote a dark-sky friendly landscape. During this review, a resident commented on lighting
levels in his neighborhood.
The Planning Commission directed staff to inspect these lights, at 3175 North Shore Drive. On
April 6th, staff inspected the property, measuring light. The light sources were visible, the closest
was 40 yards away from the property line. The highest light levels as measured at the property
line were 0.1 foot-candle. Based on the draft nuisance ordinance, these lights would not be
considered a nuisance.
While a visible light source can be annoying, enforceable nuisances should be measurable (foot
candle, decibels, height, etc.). In this situation, adjusting the light angle would benefit the
property owner, however, it is undesirable to establish visible light sources to be a nuisance as
they are prevalent. Staff seeks direction as to how to address a visible light source concern.
Planning Staff Recommendation
Staff recommends approval of the ordinances as drafted.
Action Requested:
Approve, by separate motions, the following:
Text Amendment to Chapter 78, zoning regulations relating to lighting
Text amendment to Chapter 70, relating to nuisances.
