PRESENTATION BY JOHN BARTEN - LAKE MINNETONKA WATER QUALITY STUDY John Barten, Water Quality Manager - Hennepin County Parks, addressed the City Council regarding the Lake Minnetonka water quality study which has been ongoing for the past several years. Barten stated Hennepin County Parks has been working with the LMCD on this issue to determine whether the water quality of Lake Minnetonka is staying the same, getting better, or getting worse, and the appropriate steps that should be taken to address this issue. Barten stated they are attempting to consolidate their efforts with other government agencies in an attempt to eliminate duplication of efforts. Barten stated this committee has taken water samples over the past five years from Lake Minnetonka • and the other local lakes in an effort to determine the phosphorus levels in the various lakes. Barten noted a 9 rant was obtained from the EDA, which was used to install Remote Underwater Sampling a ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES FOR APRIL 24, 2000 (Lake Minnetonka Water Quality Study, Continued) Stations at various spots in the lakes, with measurements being taken four times a day to determine the phosphorus level. Bartell stated the water quality of the local lakes has remained fairly normal over the past few years, with clarity of the lakes being reduced over the years. Over the summer months the clarity of the lake tends to be reduced somewhat. Barter commented the water quality of some of the lakes, unless preventative steps are taken, has the potential to decrease due to increased water flows from developments. Long -term water management of the lakes is extremely critical in order to preserve and improve the water quality in this area. Mayor Jabbour commented that the levels of phosphorus go up and down and never is completely eliminated. Eric Evinson, Administrator of the MCWD, stated he is available for ally questions the City Council may have regarding the efforts being taken to monitor the water quality of the local lakes. Kelley inquired how the MCWD actually monitored the actual levels of phosphorus runoff. Evinson stated it is very difficult to actually monitor along the lakeshore, but that the MCWD has identified the major drainage points into the lake and those areas are monitored. Sansevere inquired whether anv of the lakes were unsafe for swimming at this point. Bartell commented that algae is not a desirable thing for a beach and usually will not pose any health threat. Barter stated efforts should be taken in order to address the issue of recycling the phosphorus in the lakes, which can be accomplished in a couple of different ways and costs in the neighborhood of $400 to $500 an acre. Mayor Jabbour stated the chemical treatment process is only permitted once on a lake and another permanent solution needs to be found. Bartell stated the chemical treatment process can be effective for up to 18 years and has proven to be fairly effective at treating the algae. Barten stated Hennepin Parks plans to reduce the amount of monitoring done on some of the lakes in the future due to the costs. Bartell stated in his opinion monitoring of some lakes will continue to occur into the future. Mavor Jabbour stated the citizens of the area need to become aware of the reasons why the City Council requires limits on hardcover and stresses good water management. Barter stated he has spoken with the LMCD on a couple of occasions and has suggested that they do a shoreline inventory to see hoxv much natural shoreline exists and complete a comprehensive plan assessment. Barten stated to his knowledge they will be completing some type of plant assessment and shoreline assessment in the near fifuture. Barten strongly recommended the Citv ff consider adopting an ordinance regulating phosphorus, which would be a good step towards . s ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES FOR APRIL 24, 2000 (Lake Minnetonka Water Quality Study, Continued) improving the water quality in the local lakes. David Lovelace, Resident, inquired whether the agency is able to tell where the phosphorus is coming from and the amount from farming versus residential that is being produced. Barten stated they can make a rough determination from the land uses in the area. Sansevere inquired whether they have concerns regarding any of the bays Evinson stated his understanding is that the algae can be toxic at times, noting they have had a problem in the past with Halstad's Bay. Barten stated the blue /green algae can produce toxic blooms at times, which happens very infrequently, and in order to be fatal, a person has to ingest a fairly large amount of water. Sansevere encouraged increased public awareness of the condition of the lakes in the area as well as an awareness of the potential safety_ concerns that could occur with decreased water quality. Mavor Jabbour thanked Barten for his presentation and efforts at preserving the water quality in the area. PARK COMMISSION COMMENTS - IRENE SILBER, REPRESENTATIVE Silber stated the Parks Commission has concerns regarding the proposed Snyder Drug development in Navarre, and recommended steps be taken to preserve the oak trees in the area as N,vell as consulting with the City's landscape architect to insure plant suitability. LAKE MINNETONKA CONSERVATION DISTRICT - LILI MCMILLAN, REPRESENTATIVE McMillan expressed her thanks to Barten for providing good insight into the water quality of the local lakes. McMillan reported the LMCD is proceeding with their appeal to the Minnesota Supreme Court regarding the special deputies. noting the\- hope to have a decision on this case by late summer. McMillan stated the channel buoy markers have been installed, with the other buoys to be installed closer to the summer season. McMillan reported the LMCD will be reviewing the number of liquor licenses currently available • and the process of awarding those licenses. ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES FOR APRIL 24, 2000 a (LMCD, Continued) Mayor Jabbour indicated a desire to meet with the chair of the LMCD to discuss several issues before their budgeting process begins. Kelley commented in his view the fees associated with a liquor license should be reviewed to insure that they cover the administrative costs as well as some of the deputy sheriff costs. PLANNING COMMISSION COMMENTS - JAY NYGARD, REPRESENTATIVE None PUBLIC COMMENTS David Lovelace, 220 Big Island, conunented in his opinion the residents who lose their vehicles or snowmobiles through the ice should pay the full cost of recovery. ZONING ADMINISTRATOR'S REPORT ( 93) 42549 DAVID LOVELACE, 220 BIG ISLAND, REQUEST FOR DOCK ACCESS 9 David Lovelace, Applicant, was present. Gaffron stated the Applicant is requesting approval for a dock location on Big Island in order to access his inland lot. City Staff has toured Big Island and has reviewed each of the potential access points, which were platted back in the 1880s. The Planning Commission has reviewed this item, with a number of the neighbors attending the public hearing and voicing their thoughts regarding tills issue. Gaffron noted City Staff has not found any record of formal City Council action prohibiting motorized vehicle traffic on the Island, and would recommend this topic be reviewed in the fiiture due to the negative impacts of vehicles on the unimproved roadways. Gaffron stated Access C is located about 200 feet from the NE conger of the Applicant's property, and is 90 feet in width, with a platted right -of -way in a wetland area. The City has had surveyors view this area to stake the lot lines and has determined that the roadway that has been utilized in the past is in fact mostly located on the adjoining property. City Staff feels there is some area on either side of the wetland to allow for pedestrian access and that there is sufficient room for two docks to be installed at this access point. Gaffron stated Access D is a platted right -of -way called Bay Place and is 50 feet wide with a lagoon next to it. Gaffron stated a defined drivcwa-,- or walking path in this area does not exist at this time, but there is sufficient room to allow a pedestrian to stay within the right -of -way. City Staff feels there is adequate room to allow for two docks to be installed at this access point. • • ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES FOR APRIL 24, 2000 ( 92549 David Lovelace, Continued) The Planning Commission has recommended that the Applicant be allowed a seasonal dock at Access C. and if Scheftel and Lovelace are interested in sharing a dock at this access point, that would be fine. Otherwise the Planning Commission felt it would be appropriate to have two separate docks at this location. Gaffron noted at the present time there are no other requests for dock access to Big Island, with a number of other potential access points being located further south. Sansevere inquired how many prospective lots could potentially need dock access, noting he has a concern that there could be a number of future requests for dock access. Gaffron stated there are eight or nine lots that could potentially request dock access. Gaffron stated according to the LMCD, there is a potential for a joint dock license, which would need to be resolved with the LMCD since this is a City right- of -wa-y. Mayor Jabbour commented in his opinion the City should have a distinction between a buildable lot versus a recreation lot. Gaffron stated the RS District does have a five acre minimum standard, with a number of lots on the Island having been listed as buildable or substandard but buildable and some unbuildable lots. • A buildable lot could be created by combining two or three of the smaller lots. Mayor Jabbour stated the City should also address the erosion problems occurring on Big Island at some of the access points. Gaffron stated City Staff is looking at Access H. which has a severe erosion problem, and is considering erecting a barrier to limit traffic in that area. Gaffron stated in his opinion the Citv should grant Lovelace a dock access at this time since his property is considered to be a buildable lot. Sansevere noted the Applicant will be assuming the cost of the dock. Mavor Jabbour stated the Citv of Orono has a policy that public roads should not be used for private use. Jabbour stated there should be a distinction between using the City's land on Big Island as a transportation corridor and not as a recreational corridor and being allowed the use of a dock. Jabbour stated he does not want to see all of the Citv's fire lanes become potential dock access points. Jabbour stated the City has to address the issue of a person wishing to live year -round on Big Island and access to their lot. Sansevere moved, Kelley seconded, to approve and adopt RESOLUTION NO. 4456, a Resolution Permitting a Private Dock on Platted Unimproved Right -of -Way Between Lots 38 and 39 Morse Island Park, Big Island. VOTE: Ayes 5, Nays 0. • Lovelace commented at the Planning Commission meeting the possibility of getting a garbage ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES FOR APRIL 24, 2000 E ( 42549 David Lovelace, Continued) barge out to Big Island was discussed, which met with good reception with the neighbors. Lovelace requested assistance from City Staff on the proper process to follow in that regard. Mayor Jabbour noted that the mainland enjoys City garbage collection, while Big Island does not. Jabbour stated he would be willing as a private citizen to provide a site, a rolloff, and a garbage barge on one side of the Island to help clean up Big Island. Jabbour noted that taxpayer dollars cannot be used in this effort. Lovelace commented he was not looking for taxpayer dollars to help clean up the Island but was looking for access to a garbage barge. Lovelace indicated he would be willing to discuss this further with the Mavor at another time. *( 94) #2559 GILBERT GEHLE, 1392 BALDUR PARK ROAD - VARIANCES /CUP Peterson moved, Sansevere seconded, to approve Variances to Hardcover in the 75 -250' Lakeshore Setback and Hardcover Within 75' of the South Lakeshore, and a Conditional Use Permit to Permit Regrading and Restoration of the Site. VOTE: Ayes 4, Nays 0. ( #5) 42563 MIKE AND RUTH FILBRANDT, 3960 BAVSIDE ROAD - SKETCH PLAN REVIEW Mike and Ruth Filbrandt, Applicants, were present. Weinberger stated the Applicants are requesting a sketch plan review for a 26 acre parcel which consists of three tax parcels. The Applicants are interested in subdividing the properties to create two buildable lots. The total acreage is approximately nine acres of dry buildable land, with the minimum lot size being five acres in the RR -IA District. This item appeared before the Planning Commission where several issues were discussed relating to how the Applicants could appropriately subdivide the property. The Planning Commission considered subdividing this property by doing a lot line rearrangement; however, City Code may not necessarily apply in this case because they are generally looked at as Class I Subdivisions and a Class I Subdivision does not allow any type of flexible zoning and would require ten acres of dry_ buildable land in order to create two lots. Class I Subdivisions requiring flexible zoning have traditionally only been used for lot line rearrangements between existing developed parcels. City City Code prohibits selling off of the two smaller undeveloped lots without the principal larger lot because it would create two non - conforming lots. The Planning Commission had suggested that some consideration be given to rezoning the property from the five acre minimum lot size to two acre minimum lot size. City Staff has brought this matter before the City Council to give their thoughts on whether rezoning of this area would be • 0 ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES FOR APRIL 24, 2000 ( #2563 Mike and Ruth Filbrandt, Continued) an option. Kelley indicated he would not be in favor of rezoning this property. It was the consensus of the City Council that they would not be in favor of rezoning this area to two acres. Mayor Jabbour stated the sketch plan needs to comply with the City's Comprehensive Plan and that the City cannot rezone areas whenever someone wants to develop their property. Filbrandt stated he bought the two lots in 1979, with the City having passed an ordinance in 1984 stating if the owner purchases a non - conforming lot, they are not able to sell it or get a variance. Filbrandt stated it is his understanding there is approximately 9.5 acres of dry buildable. Mayor Jabbour stated the City Council has indicated its position on the rezoning of the land and has not taken a position on the other issues involved with the sketch plan. Jabbour noted the City Council has taken the position in the past that any rezoning should be addressed in the Comprehensive Plan and that the Comprehensive Plan should be adhered to as much as possible in an effort to provide for orderly development. . Kelley inquired whether the issue of rezoning was the only reason why this application was sent to the City Council from the Planning Commission. Weinberger indicated City Staff had wanted to get the input of the City Council on the issue of rezoning this property prior to the Applicants filing a preliminary plat application, due to the Planning Commission's discussions regarding rezoning of the property. Kelley stated the City Council has riled on the rezoning and the matter should now go back before the Planning Commission. Mayor Jabbour concurred the matter should be sent back to the Planning Commission for their review and comment. ( #6) #2567 WALFRED PROPERTIES, 2380 SHADVWOOD ROAD - COMMERCIAL SITE PLAN REVIEW Tom Reincn, Project Architect, was present. Weinberger stated the Applicant has submitted revised plans showing the removal of the second floor clinic and removal of the underground parking to allow for a one -story retail use on the old Grace Baptist site in Navarre. • The Planning Commission has reviewed the revised plans and is recommending the zoning code ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES FOR APRIL 24, 2000 0 ( #2567 Walfred Properties, Continued) be amended as well as recommending approval of the site plan and approval of the code amendment to allow drugstores as a conditional use in the B -5 zoning district subject to the following conditions: 1. To limit the hours of operation to 8:00 a. m. to 10:00 p.m. 2. The project engineer must provide a report confinning the proposed stormwater management pond meets all NURP standards. Part of the pond and grading is located off site. Applicant shall obtain drainage and temporary work easements from the adjacent property owner (Lafayette Ridge Homeowners) to permit the pond construction. Utility easements shall be granted over the vacated portion of Navarre Lane, as existing sewer, water, phone, gas, et cetera, are located within the road. 4. Drainage and utility easements shall be granted 10 feet along the property lines. 5. To relocate the trail to connect Olive Avenue to Shadywvood Road. 6. The City Engineer must review and approve site grading, ponding, stonmwater management plan and relocation of utilities. • Weinberger indicated Citv Staff has not had sufficient time to frilly review the revised plans. Weinberger noted the developer has reduced the number of outdoor parking spots to 60, from the 77 originally proposed which will accommodate a 9,000 square foot single -story retail operation, with the overall size of the building being just under 12,000 square feet. Weinberger stated some issues for discussion by the City Council include the proposed landscape plan. Retaining walls are proposed as part of the landscaping plan, with the first retaining wall being located along the trail. The average height of the wall in this area is six to eight feet. A retaining wall around the stormwater drainage pond is also proposed, with the height of that wall being approximately 20 feet in height at the highest portion. The average height of the wall will be 12 to 14 feet. Weinberger noted the landscape plan will need to be reviewed b_v the City's landscape consultant. Weinberger stated the oak trees referred to by the Parks Commission are located by the proposed trail. The revised plan does call for the removal of the oak trees in that area. This area was chosen for the trail due to the high water table of the stormwater pond and need for additional retaining walls and fences to protect pedestrians from falling into the stormwater pond. Concerns regarding safety were also raised with the other trail location. Weinberger stated the overall height of the building has been reduced to 23 feet. Reinen indicated Weinberger has covered the issues quite well relating to this application. • ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES FOR APRIL 24, 2000 ( #2567 Walfred Properties, Continued) Peterson inquired exactly where trail goes. Weinberger stated the trail would begin on Olive Avenue and would proceed up the hill and connect the property to Shadywood Road. The trail would run along the proposed retaining wall. Sansevere stated it is his impression that sometimes the City tends to force trails on properties where they may not be necessary. Sansevere stated it is not possible to save the oak trees if the trail is located in this area. Mayor Jabbour stated the Parks Commission is requesting that the trail be located in another area. Sansevere stated in his opinion the only safe place for the trail is the location where it is presently proposed. Sansevere stated he would be willing to approve this plan without the addition of a trail. Peterson indicated she was in agreement with Sansevere. Kelley commented he would prefer to save the trees. Flint inquired why the trail could not be located on the other side. Flint commented lie has toured the property and there appears that there will be more than ample parking for this operation. Flint . stated he would like to see more green space and have the area be more pedestrian friendly as far as access. Reinen indicated the }, are looking at approximately a 12,000 square foot building, with the need to address the circulation of service vehicles and other vehicles counter - clockwise around the building. Reinen stated they are attempting to keep the parking slope as minimal as possible. which is accomplished by having the parking as proposed. Reinen stated due to the size of the building, they arc legally required to provide 60 parking spaces. Rcincn stated they are attempting to have the trail meet the 24 foot setback and the 30 foot setback at Olive as well as trying to maximize the green space in the area. Reincn noted they have increased the green space by approximately three percent. Mayor Jabbour stated in his opinion there does not appear to be a consensus that the trail is needed in the area proposed. Jabbour stated lie liked the parking being located away from the residential neighborhood and providing green space in that area. Kelley inquired whether the driveway in the rear could be reduced somewhat with the trail being located in that area. Reinen stated thev need to accommodate over -the -road vehicles, which necessitates the wider driveway. • Sansevere inquired whether a small trail could wind around the oak trees. ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES FOR APRIL 24, 2000 ( #2567 Walfred Properties, Continued) Mavor Jabbour stated there could just be pedestrian access from the rear parking lot to the street with no public trail. Kelley stated he has concerns that the children will tend to cut across the parking lot even with the trail. Reinen indicated they will need to have the area surveyed to see where the trail can be located, noting they would like to preserve the trees as well. Reinen stated the retaining wall will need to be brought forward. Kelley inquired about the six foot cedar fence in the back. Reinen stated it is located five feet from the property line and will have a row of arborvitae trees planted in front of it. Kelley inquired about the lighting at the rear of the building. Reinen stated they will be installing shielded lighting, with one light fixture being located at the rear of the building to light the car path and a light fixture associated with the trash enclosure, which is separated from the building itself. • Kelley stated he would like to see the monument sign constructed out of the same materials as the building. Reinen stated they will use compatible material for the monument sign, noting the sign will not be illuminated if the store is not open. Mayor Jabbour thanked the developer for working with the City on this project. Kelley moved, Flint seconded, to approve the Commercial Site Plan Granting Variances to Hardcover and Conditional Use Permits and to allow the Issuance of a Building Permit to Walfred Properties for the Property Located at 2380 Shadywood Road to permit the construction of a Snyder Drugstore, subject to modification, review and approval of the pedestrian trail by City Staff, review and approval by City Staff of the lighting and landscaping plan; and to Approve Vacating an Unimproved Lane Within the Plats of "Wiley's Navarre Addition ", "Townsite of Langdon Park" and "Lafayette Ridge" in the City of Orono, Hennepin County, Minnesota.

H ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES FOR APRIL 24, 2000 • ( 0) 92568 WILLOW VIEW PROPERTIES, LLC- BANCOR GROUP, SOUTHWEST CORNER OF WILLOW DRIVE NORTH AND SIXTH AVENUE NORTH - FINAL PLAT OF «ILLOW VIEW - RESOLUTION NO. 4457 David Newman of The Bancor Group and Marty Campion, Project Engineer, were present Weinberger stated the City Council approved the Preliminary Plat for Willow View back in January, 2000. The Bancor Group has completed nearly all requirements of the preliminary plat approval. The Applicant has indicated the outstanding issues involving a letter of credit and a watershed permit will be resolved by the end of the week. The Applicant has also indicated he will be paying the sewer and water connection fees as well as the park dedication fees required on this development. Weinberger stated the major change to the final plat involves the conservation areas to be platted separately as outlots to maintain the areas and to protect them by easements. The City Engineer has reviewed and approved the plans for this development. City Staff has determined that an eight inch water line would be appropriate in place of the 12 inch line originally requested. Weinberger stated the Developer has requested that the private road within Outlot A be known as Willow View Drive. No negative comments have been received back from the Fire Department or Police Department regarding this proposed name at this time. • Staff has received notification from the MCWD that the permit is scheduled on the consent agenda for 4/25/00. The Plat will not be released for filing prior to the MCWD approving the permit. City Staff is recommending approval of the final plat for Willow View subject to the conditions outlined in the resolution. Newman stated he has delivered to City Staff all the executed covenants, easements. the developer's agreement, and consent of plat. Newman stated they are owner of the property. Newman stated they will be obtaining the watershed permit within the next few days. Mayor Jabbour requested the developer make a conscious effort to work with City Staff and the School District to resolve sonic issues relating to easements in the area. Newman indicated he is aware of that situation and has had his engineer contact the School District regarding the trail. Weinberger stated the trail as proposed to connect the neighborhood to the school would go through Outlot B, with a small area of Outlot A. and then the connection to the school property. Weinberger indicated the regional trail connections are identified in the plan. Kelley moved, Peterson seconded, to approve and adopt RESOLUTION NO. 4457, a Resolution Approving the Plat of Willow View. • Flint commented there appears to be an inconsistency in paragraphs 16 and 17 of the resolution ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES FOR APRIL 24, 2000 • ( 42568 Willow View Properties, Continued) compared to paragraph 7 of the resolution previously adopted on this development which requires that the internal trails on the property be constructed prior to building permits being issued for homes within the subdivision. Flint stated the distinction between internal and external trails is not made in the resolution now before the City Council. Weinberger stated the internal trails assumes all the trails within the subdivision, and since the outlots are considered to be part of the subdivision, it is understood all trails will be constructed prior to any building permits being issued on this development. Newman stated it is his understanding it is part of the development agreement that they have with the City. VOTE ON THE ABOVE MOTION: Ayes 5, Nays 0.
