The following represented the City Staff: Zoning Administrator Jeanne Mabusth and Recorder Teri Naab. Edward Callahan, Gabriel Jabbour and Charles Kelley were present. Chair Schroeder called the meeting to order at 7:00 p.m. He introduced the new members: Sandra Smith, Charles Nolan, Janice Berg and Dale Lindquist and expressed his appreciation to the outgoing members: Jeffrey Johnson, Maureen Bellows and Ed Cohen. ( #1) #1821 MARGO WIRTJES, 3085 WATERTOWN ROAD - PRELIMINARY SUBDIVISION - PUBLIC HEARING 8:58 - 8:59 P.M. It was moved by Lindquist, seconded by Rowlette, to table Application #1821 for Margo Wirtjes, at the request of the applicant. Ayes 6, nays 0. Smith abstained. ( #2) #1825 THOMAS L. MCCARTHY, 2490 OLD BEACH ORAD - PRELIMINARY SUBDIVISION - PUBLIC HEARING 8:15 - 8:50 P.M. The Affidavit of Publication and Certificate of Mailing were noted. Mr. McCarthy was present. Mabusth explained two options for development as outlined in the memo. She noted the City Engineer has requested that no new curb cuts be approved. She indicated the code does not require a shared access for new developments off private roads and noted there is adequate width along the road for an individual curb cut for Lot 2. She proposed the only way to approve this application without variances is to include the area within the 250 -500' setback area within the 75 -250' area and credit the driveway hardcover against the 75 -250' hardcover allowance of 25 %. Applicant would have to maintain hardcover at 25 %. She noted the applicant proposes hardcover at 25.1% within the 75 -250' setback area. She also noted the shed at the shared lot line would need to be removed. Charles Smoot, 2665 Maple Ridge Lane, expressed strong opposition to the proposal and explained this is one of the principal wooded areas left in the area to help with run -off. He presented a petition of opposition. He felt the existing house and lot were appropriate for the neighborhood. He added the applicant has not lived in the neighborhood yet and wishes to change it already. 1 • MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING HELD MAY 17, 1993 ZONING FILE #1825 - CONT. Dan Saklad, 2496 Old Beach Road, stated there is no way to develop this property without major destruction to the neighborhood. He noted the lane is only wide enough for one car. He expressed strong opposition to the subdivision. Mrs. Saklad questioned the zoning for the area. Mabusth replied this is a one acre zoning district. She referred to a phone conversation with Karen Paulson, 2605 Maple Ridge Lane, who expressed strong opposition to the subdivision and concern for the loss of mature trees. Chair Schroeder read Ietters of opposition from Kathy Madaris, 2480 Old Beach Road and Joyce and Keith Olson, 2510 Old Beach Road. Mabusth questioned whether the Commission would recommend that the drive be included in the 75 -250' area and hardcover calculations. She asked if they would consider either the granting of a hardcover variance for the narrow 20' wide portion of the lot or consider this portion a part of the 75 -250' zone and require the applicant to reduce hardcover to 25 %. Chair Schroeder questioned the buildability of Lot 2. Mabusth stated it is a buildable, non - riparian lot. Peterson asked the applicant his plans for this parcel. McCarthy sa i d he wou I d I i ke to deve I op th i s property i n the future . He noted the previous owner indicated the vacant property provided little benefit. He stated he would like an opportunity to build on this parcel and only intends to enhance the neighborhood by doing SO. Smoot stated all other surrounding properties maintain at least one vacant acre. He questioned the need to subdivide at this time if the applicant does not propose to build right away. Row Iette questioned how a building on this property would affect the property at the lower elevation. She questioned whether a similar division has ever been approved. Mabusth indicated there has never been a division as such approved in the past as flag lots did not conform to standards. Flag lots are allowed based on the new lot width standards for lakeshore lots. 1! • MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING HELD MAY 17, 1993 ZONING FILE #1825 - CONT. Paul Anderson, 2530 Old Beach Road, questioned why the Commission was considering ways to interpret the code to allow the division when they should be concentrating on why the proposal is necessary. He felt this would be a detriment to the neighborhood. He said construction of another residence along the drive would be make passage on the road difficult and create an unsafe condition. Chair Schroeder answered they are not trying to find a way to approve the division, but if this is a legitimate request they must consider all the facts. Peterson noted because the neighbors all have 2+ acres does not mean that this property must maintain that acreage. Saklad felt the division would be detrimental to the environment and create an unsafe condition. Rowlette stated they must concentrate on the pertinent issues, and added just because they do not want a development does not mean they can deny it if it meets all rules and regulations. Smoot noted then unless the rules change, they cannot approve the division. Saklad questioned the hardcover issue. Mabusth explained that if approved, the applicant would be required to remove much of the hardcover on the developed lot and would not be able to keep improvements on the lot as it exists now. McCarthy stated some of the required removals are not necessary items. It was moved by Rowlette, seconded by Chair Schroeder, to recommend denial of Application #182 for Thomas L. McCarthy, 2490 Old Beach Road, based on the lack of hardship and the application setting a negative precedent. Ayes 7, nays 0. Chair Schroeder called for a recess from 8:50 to 8:58 p.m. ( #3) #1820 HENNEPIN COUNTY DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT, NORTH ARM ACCESS - CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT /VARIANCE - PUBLIC HEARING 7:00 - 7:10 P.M. The Affidavit of Publication and Certificate of Mailing were noted. 3 • MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING HELD MAY 17, 1993 ZONING FILE #1820 - CONT. Mabusth explained the County proposes the replacement of an existing wooden seawall with steel. She noted the permit has been issued and the repairs have been completed. The County was unaware that a new conditional use permit would be required and thought any repairs would fall under the previously approved conditional use permit. She pointed out the major issue with this application is the question of storm water management affecting the quality of run -off to the lake from the parking lot. She noted the City would like to see something in place prior to the 1994 boating season and referred to three options recommended by the City Engineer. The County is agreeable and staff will work with them to determine which option is most viable. She suggested the Watershed District should also be asked to covenant. Nolan suggested approval be conditioned upon on -going maintenance of the area. Mabusth explained that is currently being done by the County. It was moved by Rowlette, seconded by Peterson, to recommend approval of Application #1820 for Hennepin County Department of Environmental Management, North Arm Access, approving a conditional use permit and variance for the repair of an existing seawall, per staff's recommendation. Ayes 7, nays 0. ( #4) #1822 MARK PRUETER, 3215 CRYSTAL BAY ROAD - VARIANCES - PUBLIC HEARING 7:11 - 7:34 P.M. The Affidavit of Publication and Certificate of Mailing were noted. Mr. and Mrs. Prueter were present for this application. Mabusth explained the applicants request side setback, and hardcover variance for an addition to the rear of the existing residence, and an average lakeshore setback variance to allow replacement of an existing lakeshore deck proposed at 18x10.6'. The deck area will be reduced. Mr. Prueter stated they hope to make this their permanent residence, but need more living space for future family additions. He pointed out the lot narrows at the rear and the house was constructed prior to adoption of the current zoning ordinances. There is no additional land available on either side and the neighbors do not object to the project. He testified that the walkway from the house to the garage is necessary because of ponding in this area, and he hopes to address this issue. 4 L� MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING HELD MAY 17, 1993 ZONING FILE #1822 - CONT. Rowlette asked if it is possible to fill in this area. Mabusth said they will need to add some fill with the addition, and the applicants hope to look at ways to redirect the drainage. She noted they propose the removal of the sidewalk along the side of the house, but because of the limited area to direct drainage, tiling may be necessary. She referred to concerns regarding accessibility for emergency vehicles, and pointed out there is a 13' setback from the structure on the western lot, and an approximate 4' setback from the grade -level deck on the eastern lot. Chair Schroeder asked the applicants if they had considered maintaining the existing setback on the eastern side. Prueter said they considered an upward expansion, but that did not provide the necessary living space. This proposal allows for the most economical solution to add living area. Mabusth noted emergency vehicles can go over grade -level deck structures, that is why the ordinance does not require them to be set back further from the lot line. Nolan suggested the proposal could be reduced by 2' Prueter said the addition needed to be that size to accommodate the hallway and still allow for a reasonable expansion. Rowlette stated she was happy with the reduction of the deck and the west side lot line setback, but was concerned with the encroachment into the eastern side lot line setback because of the access and drainage issues. Prueter pointed out there is a fire hydrant at the rear of the property where they access the drive from the east which provides access to the detached garage. Chair Schroeder stated that helps to some degree but would feel more comfortable maintaining the 9.6' eastern side setback. Nolan indicated if the addition were reduced by 2', the property would remain within the existing hardcover calculations, and felt the impact would be minimal on the room sizes. Chair Schroeder explained they not only have to take into consideration the comments of existing neighbors, but must try to consider concerns of potential new neighbors. 5 • 40 MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING HELD MAY 17, 1993 ZONING FILE #1822 - CONT. It was moved by Peterson, seconded by Berg, to approve Application #1822 for Mark Prueter, 3215 Crystal bay Road, approving setback, hardcover and average setback variances for an addition to the rear of the existing residence and a deck, subject to conditions set forth in staff's memo, and conditioned upon a drainage plan being provided. Ayes 4, nays 3. Smith, Nolan and Rowlette voted nay. Mayor Callahan questioned how access is gained to the property. Prueter answered he thought he had an access easement running parallel to the railroad tracks. ( #5) #1823 MARGE ROSSING, 130 CYGNET PLACE - VARIANCE - PUBLIC HEARING 7:37 - 8:14 P.M. The Affidavit of Publication and Certificate of Mailing were noted. Marge Rossing was present. Mabusth explained the applicant proposes a 20x28' addition to the north side of the house, and a 26x38' detached garage which meets the 10' separation setback from adjacent structures. There is no hardcover or structural coverage problems. Rossing explained the addition is to accommodate the care of her brother. The detached garage is needed as the existing attached garage will become a part of the residence. Peterson questioned what w i l l be stored in the new garage and noted construction equipment on the property during his inspection. Rossing stated the equipment was there to facilitate the clean up of the property, and none will be stored on the property. Mabusth noted the encroachment onto the Wirtjes property. Rossing noted those items have been removed. Peterson questioned the need for an additional garage. Rossing noted the large detached garage is storage area for boats. 101 u 16 1 MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING HELD MAY 17, 1993 ZONING FILE #1823 — CONT. Clair Bloemendaal, 145 Cygnet Place, testified that the property is an eyesore in the neighborhood and has been for many years. She expressed concern that this proposal would only add to that condition. Rowlette questioned the normal size of a three stall garage. Mabusth stated a three sta I I garage is typically 28 to 30', and the proposal is oversized. She noted the existing garage exterior is not finished. Rossing indicated they hope to do so this summer. Smith inquired as to how long the garage has been uncompleted. Rossing answered two years. Berg asked who the contractor is for the proposal. Rossing said her sons would be doing the addition. Nolan asked about the materials to be used on the addition. Rossing stated the garages and addition will be sided with the same material as the house. Rowlette questioned whether there are time limitations on construction. Mabusth indicated the permit requires an inspection to be made at least every 6 months or the permit will expire. Rossing indicated she had not been contracted by the Building staff prior to last week regarding the completion of the existing garage. Rowlette said she understood the neighbors' complaints and suggested screening along the road. Peterson asked if the driveway has been included in the hardcover calculations and noted its considerable size. Mabusth indicated that was included, but added it is appropriate at this time to control the use of the grass for parking of vehicles. 7 • MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING HELD MAY 17, 1993 ZONING FILE #1823 - CONT. Bloemendaal noted there currently is screening along the roadway, but due to the season changes, only helps part of the year. She stated many times there are several vehicles parked on the property for extended periods of time, including long transport vehicles. Mabusth inquired if there is a business being run out of the home. Rossing answered there is but the equipment other than a van is stored off -site. She noted sometimes her other son will stop by with his dump truck. Berg asked if a certificate is issued upon completion. Mabusth answered only with new residential construction, and a final would only be required for this project. 40 Peterson noted if the permit expires, that only ensures the City that work will not continue until another is issued, and not that the project will continue. 1 Chair Schroeder expressed concern about the use of the garages. Mabusth expressed the difficulty of policing individual properties. She questioned where the equipment from the existing attached garage will be stored until the new garage is completed. Rossing said she proposes the construction of the garage prior to the addition. Nolan felt they should require a screening plan. Mabusth noted the applicant in earlier discussions had alluded to the construction of a berm along the roadway and the planting of evergreens, but because it would be in excess of 100 cubic yards of fill, a conditional use permit is necessary. Rossing noted the scrub trees along the roadway on the second lot need to be removed. Lindquist suggested they request a landscape plan be presented to Council along with the application and that the project be approved in phases. E3 MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING HELD MAY 17, 1993 ZONING FILE #1823 - CONT. Rossing said she would like to commence with the addition as soon as possible, but noted she does not want to construct the berm at this time, but would like permission to place the fill from the addition where the berm would be located. Mabusth clarified that the Planning Commission would like to combine the landscaping with this request and that she could not stock pile fill from construction without a conditional use permit. It was moved by Rowlette, seconded by Peterson, to approve Application #1823 for Marge Ross ing, 130 Cygnet Place, for rear and street setback variances to construct an addition to the existing residence, on the hardships that the lot is an unusual shape and the house was constructed prior to adoption of the existing ordinance, subject to the project being staged beginning with the completion of the existing detached garage, and second the proposed detached garage be completed prior to commencing with the addition, and a landscape plan to be presented to Council to be completed over the upcoming years, and the driveway boundaries identified. Ayes 7, nays 0. ( #6) #1824 ERIC & SHELLY LILJEQUIST, 2490 BIRCH LANE - VARIANCES - PUBLIC HEARING 8:59 - 9:18 P.M. The Affidavit of Publication and Certificate of Mailing were noted. Mr. and Mrs. Liljequist were present. Mabusth explained the applicants seek a street setback variance for a detached garage to be located in the street yard of the lakeshore lot. She noted that during the inspection of the property, staff found it necessary to back out onto Baldur Park at the three way intersection, and suggested they need to remedy this situation. The City Engineer has provided three options: 1. align the garage and drive with the house; 2. construct the garage so the doors face away from Birch Lane and angle the garage aligning it with the property boundary; or 3. directly angle the garage toward Birch Lane. Mabusth indicated the applicant has requested hardcover be kept to a minimum as he wishes to complete future improvements to the house. N7 • 1 MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING HELD MAY 17, 1993 ZONING FILE #1824 - CONT. Liljequist reviewed Options #1 and #3 aligning the driveway directly with the drive across the street and said this is not viable and Option #2 provides for too sharp of a turn into the property. He said with their proposal they can back out onto Birch Lane. Peterson felt Option #2 was the most logical. Liljequist noted with their proposal they would be reducing hardcover to 20 %. Mabusth questioned whether the Commission would sacrifice additional hardcover for safety concerns. Rowlette said she would be willing to allow an overage of hardcover, but could not assure a future Planning Commission would feel the same way. Liljequist indicated they plan to remove the sidewalk and rocks on the property. Rowlette asked how many houses are on Birch Lane, and indicated the majority of the garages on Birch Lane are setback at similar setbacks. Mabusth stated the applicants are also attempting to save the mature tree. She added she has not received comment from the neighbors. She indicated a preference to Option #2 and said hardcover would still remain below 25 %. It was moved by Peterson, seconded by Berg, to recommend approval of Application #1824 for Eric and Shelly Liljequist, 3490 Birch Lane, approving a street setback variance for a detached garage, as presented by the applicants. Ayes 7, nays 0. ( #7) #1826 ROBERT & ANN HENSON, 2166 SHADYWOOD ROAD - VARIANCES - PUBLIC HEARING 9:18 - 9:54 P.M. The Affidavit of Publication and Certificate of Mailing were noted. Mr. and Mrs. Henson and Mark from Triple D, builder, were present. 10 • MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING HELD MAY 17, 1993 ZONING FILE #1826 - CONT. Mabusth explained the applicants propose the removal of the existing tennis court, the construction of a detached garage and the addition of a deck within the 0 -75' zone. She noted the County must approve the proposed changes with regard to the approach, and the application will not be presented to Council until such approval is received by the City. The applicants propose the removal of the shed and adjacent brick structure. She noted there is currently no direct access onto the lakeshore yard from the house. She pointed out she could not remember a time when the Planning Commission approved new structural hardcover in the 0- 75' zone. She suggested a walk from the lakeshore side doorway around to the side where a deck could be constructed out of the 0- 75' setback area. Mr. Henson said that would be too near his neighbor, and noted the drainage that runs between the two lots. He indicated they propose the garage as their current garage is 120' away from the house, do uphill. He noted the tennis court needs to be resurfaced and the fencing repaired or replaced. He pointed out for the removal of 5,000 s.f. of hardcover, all they request in return outside the limits of the code is the lakeside deck. Mrs. Henson noted their engineer is currently working on plans for the access approach. Peterson questioned whether there is other hardcover in the 0 -75' zone that could be removed. Mr. Henson noted there is approximately 33 s.f. of brick area near the lakeshore. Paul and Marcia Merlo, 2142 Shadywood Road, expressed strong support for the project. They felt the removal of the tennis court would help the quality of the lake in terms of drainage, and felt the applicants should be allowed some type of deck on the lakeside of their home. Mr. Henson pointed out the deck will only extend 6' past the existing structure as a portion of the structure currently protrudes 4' and the deck would be placed in this area. Peterson noted they will have a tight turn into the proposed garage. Mark, applicants' builder, said the garage will be off set from the house with 16' doors, which should provide enough room if garage is square with the door. 11 • MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING HELD MAY 17, 1993 ZONING FILE #1826 - CONT. Rowlette noted the proposed garage will bring hardcover to 47.86% in the 75 -250' zone. She questioned if other improvements could be removed. Mr. Henson stated his alternative is to repave the tennis court. Chair Schroeder expressed concern with the increase in the 0 -75' zone and explained their long- standing position has been not to approve anything in this zone. He said he would support the garage but not the deck. Mr. Henson felt the deck was more valuable and to him than the garage. Chair Schroeder stated they cannot base their decision on increased value, but rather must focus their main concern on protection of the lake. Mr. Henson reiterated he is removing 5,000 s.f. of hardcover for 225 s.f. of hardcover in the 0 -75' zone. Peterson asked the size of the deck. Mr. Henson replied it is proposed at 10'x25'. Peterson asked if that could be reduced. Nolan suggested an alternative would be a stepping stone grade - level patio in lieu of a portion of the bricked walk near the house. He said this would not eliminate additional hardcover, but would make it more usable, and would not increase it. Mr. Henson noted the area could only be approximately 10x10', and he does not want a deck that small. He added the land in this area is very unstable due to the high water table and any kind of grade - level deck would not be practical. He noted it is not practical to remove a portion of the brick walkway to reduce hardcover as an overhang from the house currently covers this area, thus no reduction would be realized. It was moved by Peterson, to recommend approval for Application #1826 for Robert and Ann Henson, 2166 Shadywood Road, for variances to construct a garage and lakeside deck, based on the condition the tennis court, side shed, and brick area near the lake be removed, approval from the County is received prior to commencing, and the deck be reduced to 8x25'. Motion failed due to a lack of a second. 12 • r C7 MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING HELD MAY 17, 1993 ZONING FILE #1826 - CONT. Nolan said he would be willing to second if the deck were eliminated. Mr. Henson reiterated the importance of the deck to him. Rowlette asked how important the existing garage is to the applicant. Mr. Henson stated they need the additional storage and it would not be practical to landscape out that far from the house. Merlo stated he felt it would be a travesty not to approve this application for the benefit of the lake. He felt the applicants could grade the drive so the run -off was funneled to the lawn area. Rowlette disagreed, and stated she felt without the removal of the existing garage and concrete walls, the drainage problem would only be exacerbated. Lindquist stated his concern with the deck going beyond the setbacks of the existing house. Nolan indicated he would consider a trade -off. Mr. Henson pointed out there is nothing left on the property with which to trade. Rowlette said she would like to see more hardcover removed, and added she is not against some kind of deck on the lakeside, but would not be forced to use the removal of the tennis court as a bargaining chip. Chair Schroeder clarified to the applicant his options. Mr. Henson asked that the application be denied. It was moved by Chair Schroeder, seconded by Rowlette, to recommend denial of Application #1826 for Robert and Ann Henson, 2166 Shadywood Road, based on the fact the encroachment into the 0 -75' zone is too excessive in consideration of the additional hardcover in the 75 -250' zone, and in consideration of the removal of the tennis court. Ayes 6, nays 1. Peterson voted nay. The applicants left at this time and returned later. 13 r� MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING HELD MAY 17, 1993 ZONING FILE #1826 - CONT. Mr. Henson questioned the brick walkway on the side of the house and the area that is calculated as hardcover. Mabusth explained an overhang is considered hardcover if it exceeds 1 1/2', so 3' of the applicants' 4 1/2' overhang area is calculated as hardcover. If the brick were removed underneath the overhang, hardcover would be based on 3' of overhang area. Henson said he would be willing to remove this area if that would make a difference. Rowlette said this will be added to the record and forwarded on to the Council. ( #8) #1827 RICHARD HENRY NELSON, 3908 CHERRY AVENUE - VARIANCES - PUBLIC HEARING 9:54 - 10:10 P.M. The Affidavit of Publication and Certificate of Mailing were noted. Mr. Nelson and Don Bonnicksen, the builder, were present. Mabusth explained the applicant proposes a new roof extending beyond the existing building envelope over the residence which is located within the average lakeshore setback area and the 0 -75' zone. She clarified that the roof will extend beyond the footprint of the house over a small section of existing deck on the lake side and a new deck to the rear of the house. The applicant proposes no hardcover removals. Nelson clarified that the purpose for the project is to get a deck to the rear of the property because run -off has caused structural damage to the home. Currently the roof has three peaks and the back of the property is terraced downward to the house. He said he wants to pull the house together architecturally. He noted he was unaware that he should consider removals of existing hardcover and said he would be glad to remove the plastic under the rock landscape area. Mabusth questioned whether he would be grading away from the back of the house. Nelson clarified he intends to dig a small trench and install drainage tile to run to the drive. Smith questioned his neighbors' response. Nelson said those he talked to are in support of the project. 14 • MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING HELD MAY 17, 1993 ZONING FILE #1827 - CONT. Mabusth noted the removal of the plastic under the rock landscape area would reduce hardcover by 818 s.f. or 10 + %. Chair Schroeder asked if the applicant has looked at other removals. Nelson noted he intends to remove the walkway, but this area will be overhung by the new roof. Nolan asked about the concrete pad to the left of the garage. Nelson said he would be happy to remove this also. Chair Schroeder inquired the status of the patio area. Nelson said he could not remove a portion of such without destroying the entire patio. It was moved by Peterson, seconded by Nolan, to recommend approval of Application #1827 for Richard Henry Nelson, 3908 Cherry Avenue, approving variances to replace his existing roof with another that will extend outside the existing footprint of the house and the addition of a rear side deck, subject to the plastic underlain with rock, concrete walkway on the west side of the house, and the concrete pad on the southeast side of garage be removed, and conditioned upon the applicant working with staff to address the drainage concerns. Ayes 6, nays 1. Rowlette voted nay because she wished to see more aggressive hardcover removals. ( #9) #1828 CHRISTOPHER TULLY, 1355 NORTH ARM DRIVE - CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT - PUBLIC HEARING 10:10 - 10:15 P.M. The Affidavit of Publication and Certificate of Mailing were noted. Mabusth explained the applicant has applied for a conditional use permit to construct an accessory structure on his through lot. She noted all lots owned by the applicant in this area have been combined. The area to the rear of the proposed structure is an undeveloped road and probably will remain so. The structure well exceeds the required 35' setback for a principal structure. It was moved by Rowlette, seconded by Nolan, to recommend approval of Application #1828 for Christopher Tully, 1355 North Arm Drive, approving a conditional use permit to construct an accessory structure on a through lot.
