Drude reported that the original issue of the 1985 bond was at 8 -8.25% and the 1989
bond was at 6.25 - 6.60 %. Projected savings were estimated at $158,000 for future value

ZONING ADMINISTRATOR'S REPORT
( #6) #2084 THOMAS R. MCCUNE, 1473 BAY RIDGE ROAD - VARIANCES -
RESOLUTION #3651
The applicant was present.
Gaffron reported that the application was for variances to the side setback and hardcover
in the 75 -250' zone for property located in the LR -lA 2 acre zoning district. This area is
not sewered but is in the "hot spot" area and has been petitioned for sewer by the 8
homeowners.
The proposal is for two additions on the existing residence with an addition for a
bedroom and attached garage, to replace the detached garage, located 14' from the north
lot line. The proposal calls for the removal of the old driveway and addition of a new
driveway to the new garage location. The proposed side setback is 10' at the northwest
corner. This is common in this area and consistent with other homes in the
neighborhood. The side setback standard is 30'. The deck is proposed to be enclosed
with a sunroom at 27' from the south lot line, where the required side setback is 30'.
Hardcover in the 75 -250' zone exists at 23.9% and is proposed at 26.7 %, where 25% is
allowed. Gaffron noted that the garage addition on the north will minimize the hardcover
in the 75 -250' zone. If the proposed wing was moved to meet the setback, it would not
be consistent with the design of the house and would also add hardcover. The Planning
Commission recommended approval.

( 96 - #2084 Thomas McCune - Continued) •
Gaffron commented that since the Planning Commission meeting, Staff realized the septic
system was non - conforming and subject to upgrade concurrent with any permits.
Because of the likelihood that City sewer will be installed, the applicant would like to do
the sunroom addition and remodel. The code calls for an upgraded septic. It was
discussed that a letter of credit along with a septic agreement might be appropriate. A
letter from the applicant noted that the time of year made septic testing impossible to
perform. Staff believes that there is a probable location for septic and testing would not
be critical. Staff would like a review before a new septic is installed. Gaffron asked the
Council if they would accept the variances without septic testing being performed.
Callahan asked if the letter of credit without testing can be arranged. Gaffron confirmed
this and noted that this was brought up for consistency. Hurr asked if a different letter
would be used for winter time. Gaffron said different wording would be required.
Hurr said she had a concern with the hardcover over 25% with new construction. Hurr
noted the other zones contained less than the allowable hardcover and questioned what
would occur if the applicant proposed to add more structure at a future date within these
other zones. Hun questioned if this was a package for the entire property. Gaffron said
Staff was looking at it as a package but the code does not stipulate that. He asked the
Council whether future proposals should be allowed.
Jabbour said the combination of the proposal could determine what happens at a future
date. He reported being concerned with clustering by the lake. Jabbour said if a 5 -10%
variance was allowed, it should be decided whether the 250 -500' zone should lose that
much in allowable structure. Hun concurred that it should be tied in together. Gaffron
said he could amend the wording of the resolution to stipulate that the 30% allowed in
the 250 -500' zone would be reduced by the square footage for the 75 -250' area that was
over the allowable. Hurr asked that the resolution be amended to deduct the amount
over the allowable.
Callahan said he was concerned with approving the garage when the applicant does not
plan on constructing the garage until the sewer comes to the property. He would like to
see the applicant ask for approval when construction can be done.
Jabbour said he would rather let the applicant make that choice, a mound system, hook
up to sewer or the addition.
Gaffron said the proposal is to for construction to occur when sewer becomes available.
Jabbour commented on the letter of credit for the new septic. Gaffron agreed that this
was the purpose of the letter, but the applicant did not plan on replacing the septic.

• ( #6 - 92084 Thomas McCune - Continued)
The applicant said this was not discussed with the Planning Commission. It was his belief
that the sewering would occur in the near future. McCune said the proposal for the two
additions show what his overall plans are for the property, and now the plans are
predicated on when sewering will occur. He asked that the resolution state that the
additions could be constructed when either sewer or a conforming septic were in place.
Goetten noted that the sewering of the area relies on a favorable decision by the Met
Council.
Callahan asked Jabbour if it was his desire that the draft of the letter of credit note that
either septic or sewer occur. Gaffron noted that condition 93 refers to this request.
Hun moved, Goetten seconded, to approve Resolution 93651 with amendments made to
the resolution as noted that the additions could be constructed when sewer or a
conforming septic were in place as noted in condition #3. Vote: Ayes 4, Nays 0.
( #7) #1958 LOUIS OBERHAUSER, 2405 DUNWOODY AVENUE, 3865 AND
3877 SHORELINE DRIVE - REPLAT - PRELIMINARY SUBDIVISION AND
VARIANCES
0 The applicant was present.
Mabusth reported that the application was for the preliminary subdivision of the replat of
3 substandard lots. Four structures have existed on the property with one having been
removed. Lot 1 is 16,500 sT, and Lot 2 is 20,000 s.f. The lots do not meet the lot width
standard nor the OHW or the 75' setback from the lakeshore. There is encroachment of
the 0 -75' setback zone with a timber wall on Lot 2. A structural coverage variance
would be required for the proposal for Lot 1 only at 15.16 %. Lot 2's structural coverage
is proposed at 10 %. The garage is located at 20' from the street setback and is proposed
at 10'. The existing detached garage encroaches into the right of way 6'.
Mabusth informed the Council that the Planning Commission would not approve any new
development plan with hardcover in the 0 -75' zone. The Commission saw no reason to
retain any improvements in this area. The recommendation for approval was based on no
hardcover in this 0 -75' zone. The Commission approved the 10' side setback but would
not approve any structural coverage variance. The applicant was asked to adjust the lot
line accordingly.
The hardcover on Lot 1 in the 75 -250' zone is proposed from 59.07% to 36.03 %, a
reduction of 20.03 %. Lot 2 hardcover in this same zone exists at 36.7 %, is proposed at
33.23 %, for a reduction of 449 s.f. or 3.5 %. The Planning Commission recommended
approval of the proposed hardcover.

MEETING HELD ON DECEMBER 11, 1995
( #7 - #1958 Louis Oberhauser - Continued) •
Mabusth reported on other issues for discusion. Both the County and City Engineer have
advised that there be no access from Dunwoody but recommend a shared driveway. A
new curb cut for the shared driveway is to meet the safety requirements and access from
Shoreline Drive. There is also a municipal sewer line encroachment. The applicant is
asked for an easement for this line along Shoreline Drive and the west lot line of lot 1.
Hurr asked and received Mabusth's confirmation that it was Staffs preference that the
preliminary plat and conditions of the plat be done now.
Goetten said her concern was with the immediate removal of the structure on the
property. She said she would look at the different options but would not allow any
approval without the structure removal as it is a nuisance and a hazard, especially now
with the recent snow fall. Goetten noted that 30 neighborhood people have petitioned
for the removal of the structure, the structures have been an issue for years, and the
neighbors deserve that this removal occur.
Callahan commented to the applicant that the neighbors have been trying for quite some
time to have this structure removed. He asked the applicant if the structure would be
removed if the proposal was approved.
Oberhauser said he was before the Council 4 years ago and received a denial to his S
proposal. Oberhauser said if the Council would approve the plat and variances for
reasonable structures on the small nonconforming lots, he would take the structure down
immediately.
Hurr asked if the applicant was referring to the variances recommended by the Planning
Commission.
Oberhauser said he was not. He said he would need the encroachment into the 0 -75'
zone. Oberhauser said he would take out the existing hardcover in the 0 -75' zone and
would show no net increase. The applicant also said that in realigning the lots, he would
need to keep the same amount of lakeshore in each lot. Oberhauser said he would also
need to bring the lot line over to accomodate the shared access, which would have an
adverse affect on the hardcover and structure for Lot 1. Oberhauser said he would need .
to place the access as far as he could from the Dunwoody /CoRd 15 access. Oberhauser
also noted that he paid for 4 sewer /water assessments for 3 lots. He originally thought he
would construct townhouses but found there was not enough land. The applicant said he
would need the variances to gain the house people want.
Callahan responded that the size of the land is as it is and can't be changed. Callahan
noted the numerous times the application has been before the Council, and the Council's
desire that the houses be taken down.

• ( #7 - #1958 Louis Oberhauser - Continued)
Oberhauser said he would take the houses down on the adjacent lots but would be forced
to leave the other houses there if no variance was approved.
Jabbour informed Oberhauser that the City has never granted a setback variance to the 0-
75' zone since it became code, and there was no likelihood of it happening now. He
asked the applicant if the Council and applicant could turn the situation into a win -win for
both. Jabbour said he would not trade the setback requirement for new construction. He
said it was his opinion that there was only room for one house and was probably even too
small for that. Oberhauser said that the other houses in the area were the same way.
Jabbour commented it was his desire to correct mistakes made in the past.
Oberhauser said he might be able to accommodate the 0 -75' zone by obtaining a 5' side
setback. Jabbour said he would be more inclined to look at that type of proposal.
Hurr asked what size the house would be. Oberhauser said he thought the house would
be about 2000 s.f., and said he was unsure whether it would be one or two stories when
asked by Hurr.
Hurr said she was present during the discussion of the proposal at the Planning
Commission and would approve their recommendation but deny any more changes.
• Callahan said that regardless of the proposed variances, it was the desire of the City to
gain the removal of the structures. Oberhauser said if no approval was given, he would
probably sell the 3 lots and fix up the one house.
Is
Jabbour said he was interested in moving the preliminary subdivision. He added that
allowing a 5' encroachment into the right -of -way on Lot 1 with 0 structure or hardcover
in the 0 -75' gives the applicant something to work with.
Mabusth commented that the applicant had a valid point regarding the hardcover. The
applicant would lose more area if the lot line was realigned, which would result in more
excessive hardcover in the 75 -250' zone. Mabusth asked that final figures for structure
and hardcover be given to Staff to allow for readjustments.
Goetten asked Oberhauser if he agreed with the shared driveway and received
confirmation of this from Oberhausen.
Jabbour asked Oberhauser if approval was given for the 5' encroachment into the right -
of -way and 0 structure in the 75' zone, if he would remove the structure within 10 -14
days. Oberhauser said he would not.

Mabusth noted that a renter is in one house and would need to be given a 30 day notice.
Mabusth was asked if the final subdivision could be subject to the removal of the
structure. Mabusth asked what if the final approval was one year away. Goetten
suggested a time of 30 days for one structure removal and another in reasonable time and
until final approval.
Oberhauser said he would remove the two boarded up houses as soon as possible in
January, but he wanted some assurance that the building envelope would be approved.
Oberhauser agreed to move the proposed residence out of the 0 -75' zone but asked for
structural hardcover variance as Lot 1 would be smaller than it is now.
Hurr said she was not convinced that the shoreline for each lot needs to be equal.
Oberhauser said it would make sense to have 75' of lakeshore. If this was not possible,
he said he would leave the one house. Mabusth commented to Oberhauser that he would
need a variance to remodel the house.
Callahan said the City would like the buildings removed by final plat and suggested
setting a deadline with a letter of credit posted by a certain date.
Jabbour reiterated that the two lots would be exclusive of hardcover in the 0 -75' setback
zone. An additional variance would be granted to the setback to a 5' from the road right -
of -way with a lot area variance for lot 1 with the understanding that two buildings be
eliminated within 30 days and the other within 90 days.
Goetten said she would like the packet brought back before the Council.
Jabbour asked that the letter of credit and developer's agreement be done immediately to
expedite the matter.
Callahan asked Mabusth if the applicant withdrew his application, does the City have any
rights concerning the removal of the houses. Mabusth referred this to the City Attorney.
Barrett said the nature of the hazard is demonstrated by the hazardous condition and
would be allowed by count order after significant litigation.
Callahan said that something must be done. He asked Barrett to suggest what is required
but asked that court proceedings begin on January 30, 1996. Court proceedings will
occur on that date unless the City has the letter of credit and the developer's agreement is
signed.
Hun asked if approval would be conceptual. Mabusth said yes as Staff would need to
see the shared driveway plans and the building plans. i

Callahan asked that the resolution be prepared by the January 8, 1996, meeting of the
Council as answers will have been determined by that date.
Hurr informed Oberhauser that he should be present at the meetings.
Callahan requested and Oberhauser agreed to table the application to the January 8, 1996
meeting. Oberhauser reiterated that the Council would not agree to any hardcover in the
0 -75' zone, would be in favor of approving the 5' encroachment into the road right -of-
way, rearrangement of the lot line, and a shared access.
Hurr asked that the amount of hardcover be left open to be discussed.
Mabusth said the letter of credit, developer's agreement and final figures would be
available by the meeting for review. Oberhauser was asked to return these three items as
listed to Staff by January 2, 1996.
Hurr and Goetten asked that the whole package be presented.

VACATION OF EASEMENT - RESOLUTION #3654
AFTER THE -FACT VARIANCE - RESOLUTION #3655
Mabusth noted that the property is located in the Stielow addition with an existing
drainage easement. The applicant was not aware of the Conservation and Flowage
Easement and did not know he was unable to remove trees located in the 0 -75' setback
from the lake. Staff looked at the lakeshore yard and felt the original easement was too
ambitious. The applicant was asked for a new wetland delineation. Gustafson reviewed
and confirmed the new location, which is about half of the original size.
Mabusth informed the Council that 10 trees had been removed in the 0 -75' setback zone. i
Area deemed "A" is the land covered under the new conservation easement. 10 trees
were removed in this area. "B" is the remaining area covered under the original
Conservation and Flowage Easement. 12 trees were removed in this area. Mabusth
noted that about half of the removed trees were dead or diseased. The trees were
selectively removed as some were too near other trees.
Mabusth reported that the Planning Commission asked for equal replacement. 5 trees
will be replaced in area "A ", which is in the wetland delineation. No replanting will occur
in "B ", which is not in the wetland area.
Goetten asked that the replanted trees be appropriate to the area. Mabusth said the
applicant originally was going to replant with evergreen and fruit trees. It was suggested
that the landscaper determine the replacements suitable for the wetland area.
Callahan was informed by the applicant that he had received the packet information and
was in agreement with its findings.
Jabbour moved, Goetten seconded, to adopt Resolution #3654 vacating original
conservation easement and to adopt Resolution #3655 after- the -fact variance. Goetten

VARIANCES - RESOLUTION #3656
The applicant was present.
Mabusth reported that the application was for replacement of a lakeside deck located
within the building envelope. The hardcover excesses were noted in the 0 -75' and 75-
250' setback zones. Hardcover exists in the 0 -75' zone at 16.29 %. The Planning
Commission asked for directive review of specific areas where there is underlayment of
plastic. The planter area by the deck was reviewed, found to be on flat ground, and
would benefit from the removal of plastic. The patio area plastic will also be removed as
well as the planter ift the southwest corner of the yard. The removal of plastic will result
in reductions of 381 s.f., or 8 %, in the 0 -75' zone, and reduction from 87.35% to 83.7 %,
based on the removal of 162 s.f of plastic, or 3.5% in the 75 -250' zone.
Mabusth noted that no setback variances were required for the structure. Structure
coverage exists at 20 %. The Planning Commission recommended approval.

NORTH SHORE DRIVE - COMMERCIAL SITE PLAN REVIEW -
• RESOLUTION #3657
0
Representatives, Larry Killien and Stan Linnell, of the DNR were present.
Gaffron reported that the application was for the commercial site plan review. The
resolution was to grant support for the approved Maxwell Bay access site plan.
Hun commented having spoken with Jim Dunn, who said the access plan was occurring
too quickly. Dunn was not in attendance at either the Planning Commission meeting
where this topic was discussed nor at any of the Lake Use Committee meetings. Dunn
has seen the plans and is concerned with security of his site. Hurr noted approval with
continued review. Goetten commented that the docks were moved in response to
concerns.
Gaffron continued that the Planning Commission had reviewed the plan as well as 2 -3
years of review by the Lake Use Committee. The plan was originated back in October of
1991. The DNR plan to purchase the property to the east near Lakeside Marina was
abandoned at the request of the City. The DNR spent two million dollars to purchase
property to the west to include Gayle's Marina, a number of residences, and Crystal Bay
Service.

( #12 - #2085 DNR - Continued) •
The site plan calls for 80 car- trailer parking spaces, 15 car-only parking spaces, and 3
ramps located 200' west of Lakeside Marina. The DNR has provided stormwater plans
and green buffer areas. A fishing pier with access will also be provided along with two -
way exit and entrance to Tonkawa (none to CoRd 51). The road has been upgraded to
include turn lanes.
Gaffron reported that residents expressed their concerns at the Planning Commission
meeting in regards to a stop sign exit on Tonkawa, which will be done. They were
concerned with being notified of additional fuel contamination from the previous owner.
The City informed the residents that they would be informed if any off -site contamination
occurred. There are no plans to improve the "Boy Scout" bridge. As to the function of
the turn lane and traffic awaiting to enter the access, cars will be able to bypass those
vehicles. Another concern was over the amount of flow during peak rush hour traffic and
speed of vehicles. The residents also were concerned with cross over traffic from Crystal
Bay to Maxwell Bay by snowmobilers. This area might need posting if this becomes a
problem. Residents also were concerned with fishing overflow being carried over to
private docks. They were informed that this was out of the DNR's control but
educational signage could aid this problem.
Jabbour and Gaffron discussed a problem for a property owner to the west with people
from North Arm using their dock at this time. A need was expressed to post the property •
as private. Another concern was over the winter time use as ice fishermen use the access
to the lake. The City is concerned with bubbling in the lake and traffic on the ice near
this bubbling. Gaffron said the City's intent is to have the access closed in the winter
months. He noted that no overnight parking is posted at North Arm access. The police
now use the code relating to the no parking when problems arise. There are no gates.
Jabbour asked how the access would be closed in winter. Gaffron said this would occur
by not maintaining the access area.
Hurr noted that there is a fishing village on the ice now, and the property is being used at
this time by trucks. It was further noted that the trucks will plow the access themselves if
they wished to use the access.
Jabbour said he saw no problem with the parking but a plan should be made to ensure no
winter access onto Maxwell Bay. Jabbour felt there is a need to find permanent barriers.
Hurr suggested snow fencing. Jabbour suggested the City's use of driving two horseshoe
posts.
Stan Linnell of the DNR commented that there are gates on two other DNR sites where
different concerns are being faced. A suggestion was possibly to place a roll-in dock
across the ramp. Linnell said the DNR has not yet decided on the type of dock as they
are considering floaters, but a solution for the problem could be determined. S

Gaffron said this access plan was an opportunity to continue with a cooperative
agreement between the City and the DNR. If the City wishes to maintain some type of
control, the agreement can be used for a City partnership for maintainence or monitoring.
Jabbour said he thought the City would be mowing for a fee. It was noted that a charge
of $1 an acre for loss of revenue was all that DNR currently could pay legally toward loss
of taxes.
Gaffron commented that the draft approves the site plan and is open for a future
cooperative agreement. The City urges the DNR to discuss stormwater management on
the site with the Watershed District. Gaffron said the DNR will be using grass swales
with skimmers and a possible stormwater pond, which is satisfactory to the City
Engineer. The approval also suggests that the DNR not pursue additional access sites in
Orono. The findings point to fact that Orono has made sufficient provisions for access
with 5 marinas, swimming areas, and a landing in zone 1.
Jabbour expressed his concern regarding zone 1. He noted Orono's disproportinate
number of access points in comparison with neighboring cities. Jabbour said it should be
made clear that other cities located on the lake need to participate in providing access
points before any more are developed in Orono. Killien and Linnell both agreed. Linnell
said the DNR is "not gone forever" but gone until the other 13 cities have shown
Sparticipation.
At Jabbour's request, Gaffron said the two areas regarding zone 1 in the agreement will
be revised. Condition 93 of the agreement will read, "more than met obligation.", and
stop at that point. Item #5 referring to maintenance and operation, it was noted that if no
agreement was reached, the DNR would be in charge of the maintenance and operation.
It was commented that regarding Item #6, the DNR will work with the City regarding
approved landscaped. All parties involved, the DNR and City of Orono, are in
expectation that a cooperative agreement will be reached.
There were no public comments.
Linnell said he agreed with Jabbour regarding the winter parking. He has already
received several calls regarding this problem and people driving on the ice. Linnell
realizes that there is no undue hardship to park in the access area. Jabbour reiterated that
he did not wish for people to park on Maxwell Bay.
Jabbour congratulated Goetten on her excellent performance as chair of the Lake Use
Committee. He also noted the win -win type process the DNR was working under and
expressed his gratitude to the DNR and Dennis Asmussen.
Callahan agreed that the access project has been a cooperative effort.

Regarding the problem with people using the docks of the neighboring properties, Linnell
said this is an ongoing problem with people parking at North Arm and fishing off of these
docks. He informed the neighbor that he is unable to put signs on the neighbor's property
but will develop a sign to educate people on where they can fish. It is possible that an
additional panel can be added to the kiosk for education, announcements, boat use, etc.
Linnell said the neighbor was willing to work with the City and the DNR to rectify this
problem. Goetten suggested adding such a sign at North Arm too. Jabbour commented
that if there were enough fishing piers, there would not be this problem. Linnell said he
hoped that people would discover they can fish at the access.
Linnell reported that the access at North Arm is under the jurisdiction of the County.
The DNR is working with the County on runoff correction as well as erosion problems.
Linnell noted that additional green areas are needed at North Arm as well as a turf island.
Linnell said a future possibility would be to remove 4 -6 car /trailer parking spaces to
allow for improved shore fishing.
Callahan asked if the access would be fenced. Linell said this was not in the plans. There
will be curb and gutter on the south side by the highway. The lake side would use traffic
control boulders.
Callahan asked about the citizen's concern with the intersection of Tonkawa and CoRd •
51 and moving traffic to the right. He asked about the area by Lord Fletcher's and traffic
moving to the left. Killeen said there was enough room to have the bypass improved and
is working with the County on this. Linnell said the DNR has completed the initial
survey for the County to provide knowledge of the right -of -way for traffic control
planning. The DNR and County have looked at the turn lane into Tonkawa.
Jabbour asked if there will be a minor berm between the access and CoRd 51. Killeen
said it would be a depression with a raised up area at the corner.
Regarding policing, Linnell said a conservation officer would be patroling the area. He
noted that the County Sheriffs Office and local Police Department's also have
jurisdiction. Linnell said he has committed to providing a parking space dedicated for
police parking.
Jabbour asked about the sale of the Straley property. Linnell said that two appraisals
have been done but have not come up with a reasonable market value as of yet. When
that is done, the property will be offered to the City and others in the proper order.
Jabbour asked that the City be notified if others express interest in the property.

( #13) #2086 ROBERT AND JANICE CALLAN, 2915 SOMERSET LANE -
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT/VARIANCE
The applicant, Robert Callan, and property owner, George Stickney, were present.
Mabusth reported that the application was for a conditional use permit and variance to
create a 6000 s.f. open water area within a designated wetland. The wetland is located
on the City's wetland map and, on which, there is a covenant easement over the wetland.
Mabusth said there is no direction or guideline in the ordinance for alternate wetlands.
Ordinance 10.56 refers to the characteristics and preservation of such wetland areas. The
Planning Commission reviewed the application and voted 3/2 to deny the request. Their
reasoning was due to the lack of benefits in creating the open water and saw the proposal
as one of aesthetics and views. Mabusth said the applicant was asked to present more
information in response to the denial but nothing had been received to date.
Callahan commented that it was the feeling of the City not to alter a wetland area.
Mabusth agreed with this summation.
Mabusth informed the Council that the property is located amongst seven other lots. If
the pond construction was approved, the applicant had suggested providing additional
type 2 wetland adjacent to the area with no impact on the septic. The Planning
Commission was not in favor of this suggestion.
Callahan asked if this was the recommendation of the Staff. Mabusth said it was not but
had asked the Commission to consider the issues. Mabusth said she was concerned with
precedent setting. She added that if an area was created for water fowl, it generally
would have more gradual sloping and irregular shoreline.

MEETING HELD ON DECEMBER 11, 1995
( #13 - #2086 Robert and Janice Callan - Continued) •
George Stickney, 2590 Countryside Dr., took issue with the 3/2 vote noting two recalls
on the voting. In response to the idea of no compelling reason, Stickney noted that other
agencies had no problem with the proposal, referring to the DNR., the MCWD (whose
approval was pending approval from Orono), and the Corp of Engineers. Stickney said
Mark Gronberg had also been at the Planning Commission meeting and had noted that
the wetland area had increased dramatically in size when adjacent drain tile on a farm had
not been properly maintained. Stickney said Callan's proposal for the pond also was for
mitigation of dry buildable on the other side of the lot for type 2 wetland. Stickney said
the number one reason for the pond was to control the distance between the rear of the
lot and the yard to secure the boundary. The lot is 380' surrounded by trees. Stickney
said this was not effectively brought to the attention of the Planning Commission.
Callahan asked again what was the compelling reason for the pond. Stickney said it was
to control the destiny of the rear of the house and to not lose consistency of the back
yard. Callahan responded that wetlands fill in at times and did not see this as a
compelling reason. Callahan said he was in favor of protecting wetland areas; and as a
matter of policy, he saw no reason to approve the creation of the pond.
The applicant, Callan commented that he loved the wetlands and did not wish to take
away from it, but rather, enhance the wetlands. He felt the pond would provide an area
for water fowl and various wildlife uses. He said the mitigation would expand the area
and allow for a greater amount of wetlands.
Goetten commented that Orono had a policy in place regarding wetlands, and standards
were such to maintain the naturalness of the wetland areas. Goetten felt if the applicant
wished to attract waterfowl, another approach could be taken. She was not in favor of
approval for an open water area only. Goetten noted that wetlands are used to filter the
water that flows into Lake Minnetonka.
Stickney again noted that the proposal was to increase the wetland. He noted that a
neighboring property, the Carson's, had recently received approval for a type 1, 1 acre,
wetland being used as a skating pond. Mabusth informed Stickney that this property was
not a designated wetland and required a conditional use permit only, not a variance.
Jabbour commented that type 1 and type 2 wetlands are treated differently. Jabbour
questioned if the idea was to enlarge a wetland, why create an area to hold water.
Goetten questioned if the applicant felt the wetland was beautiful, why change it and
spend the amount of money it would take to create the open water area_

Jabbour asked Mabusth to refresh his memory regarding the Carson property, which
Mabusth did. Mabusth noted that there was a question whether the Corp of Engineers
favored mitigation for type 1, which bred the idea of mitigation for the type 2 wetland.
Mabusth noted that the variance was required because of the encroachment within 26' of
a designated wetland area.
There were no public comments.
Goetten moved, Callahan seconded, to deny Application #2086 per the Planning
Commission's recommendation with a resolution to be brought back before the Council
on January 8, 1996. Vote: Ayes 3, Nays 0.
( #14) #2089 RICHARD MILLER, 4520 WATERTOWN ROAD - VARIANCES -
RESOLUTION #3658
The applicant was represented by his father.
Gaffron reported that the application is a request for lot area and lot width variances for a
lot located in the 5 -acre zoning. The property consists of 6.5 acres with 3.6 dry buildable
where 5 acres is required. The width of the property measured at 100' parallel to the
• road is 287' where 300' is required. Gaffron informed the Council that the Planning
Commission recommended approval based on the findings that the parcel would have
been buildable without variances at the time the applicant purchased it in 1972. They
noted that the applicant had also demonstrated that suitable primary and alternate sites
for an on -site sewage treatment system exists on the property. The Planning Commission
found this to be a unique property within the 5 -acre district where few vacant lots exist.
The Planning Commission questioned whether there would be any use of the property if it
was found to be unbuildable. They also thought this proposal was appropriate and in
character with other residences located in the area.
The applicant's representative had no further comment.
There were no public continents.

( #15 - #2092 Dennis Platteter - Continued) •
Mabusth reported that the application was a proposal for a 2 -lot subdivision of 5.64
acres. The parcel originally consisted of 6.5 acres but area was lost due to the dedication
of Brown Road and Dickey Lake. The proposal is for a back/front lot configuration.
The back lot meets all of the standards. Mabusth said 150% of normal allowances is
required in the RR -1B. The property is also restricted by the 150' setback from an
environmental lake.
Mabusth reported that the applicant is proposing to remove all of the accessory
structures including the pool. The existing residence does not meet the 75' setback from
the proposed lot line. Staff is not clear on the status of the residence. If the residence,
which is located 3-4' from the side lot line, stays, Staff recommends asking for the lot line
to be altered to meet the side setback requirements. This was noted as a condition of the
Planning Commission's approval. If the applicant seeks a final plat, Staff recommends a
developer's agreement and letter of credit be obtained prior to the plat.
Mr. Platterer said he has not decided on what he will do with the existing house. The
potential buyers may remodel the house. If the purchase is not made, Platterer said he
would remove the house. He noted his satisfaction with the resolution.
There were no public comments.

Commission recommendation. Vote: Ayes 3, Nays 0.
MAYOR/COUNCIL REPORT
Callahan reported that Park Commission Chair Flint attended the DNR meeting regarding
the Luce Line trail paving proposal. Flint was unable to present the City's resolution due
to a format not conducive to its presentation. Discussion groups consisted of
governmental representation as well as those involved in the different activity groups that
use the trail. Callahan said the majority were opposed to the paving of the trail from
Wayzata to Hutchinson. Flint had informed Callahan that there was a possible benefit to
paving the trail west of Hutchinson. The DNR had presented a concept of a new form of
aggregate lime that would be in keeping with its present limestone bed. A revised
resolution will be presented at the Council meeting of January 8, 1996.

CITY ADMINISTRATOR'S REPORT
( #17) ORDINANCE AMENDMENT CONCERNING YOUTH ATHLETIC
FACILITIES - REFERRAL TO PLANNING COMMISSION
Moorse reported that the Orono Hockey group is proposing an amendment to the R1-A
Zoning Ordinance to obtain a conditional use permit for a ice rink under the "clubs and
camps section of the code, which is a less intense use than what an ice arena would be.
Staff proposes amending the ordinance to add ice arenas and similar facilities as an
accessory use to a school use, so as not to open up an intensive use in the residential
zoning district.
Jabbour commented that he had thought the school district would be asking for the
conditional use permit if necessary. Mabusth said this was not possible under the lease
agreement. Jabbour said he had informed the group to make this determination prior to
the lease agreement. Mabusth said this was not possible under the lease agreement.
• Jabbour said he was uncomfortable with the "club" portion of the ordinance and asked if
the use could be isolated under the school use. Mabusth said this is what Moorse was
attempting to do with the amendment for youth athletic facilities under the school use.
Callahan said the amendment would make this activity related to school use which would
make it limited. Jabbour asked if this would allow for such structures being added to
other school buildings in the City. Mabusth said the standards would be such that this
use could not happen elsewhere. Jabbour reiterated that he would like to see the "club"
use eliminated.

( #18) SAGA HII,1 TAX FORFEIT PROPERTY •
Moorse reviewed the process the City followed regarding the 9 -acre tax forfeit parcel on
Saga Hill made available to public jurisdictions. The City of Orono indicated it's interest
in acquiring the property at no cost. In a recent meeting with the County, Moorse said
the County suggested that 9 acres was too large a parcel to obtain at no cost. The
County would like to allow the City to acquire 4 -1/2 acres at no cost with the remaining
sold to the City of Orono or another private party at market value. Moorse said he spoke
to the County on the difficulty in developing the land and gaining any type of access to it.
The resolution of this parcel is now on hold. The County has suggested the City extend
the hold on the 4+ acres and allow the hold to be released from the other 4+ acres. The
County is awaiting a letter from the City regarding this hold. Moorse said the Staff
recommends the letter be sent but in regard to the entire 9 acres with the reasons stated
why the County should consider allowing the City to acquire the entire parcel for public
use at no cost.
Goetten asked where the standard was coming from regarding this change in the
disposition of the property. Moorse said he was unsure of the legality of who had the
authority to retain property or request payment. Moorse said the Staff is acting under the
idea that the County does not have this authority.
Jabbour asked if the Saga Hill group was aware of this new determination. Moorse said
they have not been informed but he would do so. •
Goetten asked what price the County was placing on this parcel of land. Moorse said he
did not know but saw the market value as very low considering the problems with the
land being landlocked.
Goetten was concerned with the County changing their minds and wondered, "when a
deal was a deal." Moorse said the City of Orono had indicated their interest in the land
but no formal agreement had been completed.
Goetten asked why the Citiy had not resolved the issue before this time. Moorse said the
County had a hold on the property as they thought they would like to maintain a portion
of it for mitigation. Goetten asked Moorse to question the County on the integrity of
their actions.
Callahan said he would like the Staff to ask for the entire 9 -acre parcel.
Callahan moved, Jabbour seconded, to extend the hold on the 9 -acre parcel for tax
forfeiture to March, 1996. Vote: Ayes 3, Nays 0.

Callahan asked if the purchase of the cars was in the 1996 budget and received an

Moorse reported that temporary work assignment changes were made in August of 1995
to handle the administrative work load for the Acting Chief with no current Lieutenant.
These changes were made on an interim basis and are up for review at this time. Moorse
said the changes have been working well and requested to continue the staffing changes
through 1996. This request also includes an increase in pay for one police office support
staff to reflect the additional responsibilities and full -time position.
Callahan moved, Goetten seconded, to approve the extension of the temporary
appointments of Sue Bobzien and Kris Knollenberg through 1996, and to increase the

( #27) EXTENSION OF PROSECUTION SERVICE CONTRACT
Moorse reported that this item is in regards to an extension of the prosecution service
contract with the City of Minnetonka.
Callahan asked if there was an increase in the cost. Moorse responded that there was an 41
increase from about $32,000 to $35,000. Although this is a significent increase for one
year, Moorse said there has been little increase over the past four years. The City of
Minnetonka reviewed its workload related to the cities it serves, and reallocated costs on
that basis.
Jabbour asked if the contract approval could be subject to reexamination if the work of
police administration result in improvements to allow for easier and quicker caseloads.
Moorse said the work of the police chief does not impact the time spent on the case.
Callahan asked if the cost was determined by time spent on cases or the cost divided up
amongst the cities. Moorse said the cost was divided, but the divided cost was
determined by looking at the number of cases. Jabbour said if the hours spent on cases
and process improved, he would like to see a credit returned to the City on costs.
Callahan asked if this was a reasonable way of going about determining the cost process.
Moorse said other cities felt the process was reasonable. Callahan noted that the cost to
the other cities had decreased. Moorse felt the cost was reasonable considering the
original cost and the low increase over a four year period. Jabbour noted that the City of
Minnetonka was doing a good job for Orono.
Callahan moved, Jabbour seconded, to approve the Prosecution Agreement with the City
of Minnetonka for the years 1996 -1997 at a cost of $35,880 for 1996. Vote: Ayes 3,

Moorse reported that the request is to spend Park Dedication Fees for the purchase of
trees, at a considerable savings, used along Old Crystal Bay Road trail and at French
Creek Preserve. These trees have already been planted. Moorse added that the Park
Dedication Fund is generally used for trail expenses including screening.
Goetten asked what type of savings were involved by this purchase. Gerhardson said the
trees purchased for $250 each normally sell for $700.
Goetten moved, Jabbour seconded, to authorize the use of $1750 of Park Dedication
Fees for the purchase of trees, and to amend the Park Fund budget to reflect the
expenditure. Vote: Ayes 3, Nays 0.
Callahan remarked that the Park Commission was interested in additional general
screening along Old Crystal Bay Road in the area where the trail funnels out closer to the
