utility lines, etc., in the area of the easements to be vacated.
Gaffron noted the public utilities have been notified by mail but had not yet responded. Mn/DOT has
indicated there are no utility lines within these easements and is requesting the easements be vacated.
There were no public comments.
Mayor White closed the public hearing at 7:07 p.m. .
Murphy stated he did receive a call from .a property owner in the Silver Meadow area who questioned
whether the City was abandoning some city -owned property by vacating the easements. Murphy stated
he informed the property owner that the City was not abandoning land per se but rather vacating
easements that are located within the corridor.
Gaffron stated the easement portions are located within the highway corridor and are not located within
any residential property.
Murphy inquired whether the drainage in this area would be affected by the vacation.
Gaffron stated the vacation of the easements would not change the drainage. •
McMillan inquired whether Mn/DOT should pay the fee.
Gaffron indicated Mn/DOT has stated they would require an invoice and an explanation of the City's
fee. Gaffron stated the City has the option of requiring payment of the fee or waiving the fee as part of
the highway project.
Gaffron noted Staff would delay delivering the resolution to Mn/DOT for one week to allow the utility
companies that have not commented on the vacation to submit their comments to Staff.
Murphy moved, Bremer seconded, to adopt RESOLUTION NO. 5598, a Resolution Vacating
Certain Drainage and Utility Easements within the Plats of Crystal Creek; Meyer Dairy Addition;
Spruce Acres; with the fee being waived and delivery of the resolution to Mn/DOT being delayed

VARIANCE AND CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT — RESOLUTION NO. 5599
White noted this application was heard previously by the City Council but that they were waiting for a
report on the emissions generated by the kiln.
Lorraine Kaley, 1395 Brown Road South, stated she would like to hear more about the study and the
emissions. Kaley noted an afterburner stack is to be installed on the furnace, which is a help. Kaley
indicated she had a brief conversation with a representative from the Minnetonka Center for Arts prior •
to tonight's meeting.

submitted by the applicant.
Curtis stated the applicant did not conduct a formal study due to the costs but that the University of
Minnesota has conducted a study on their facility I and a five mile radius, which the applicant is here
tonight to discuss.
Roxanne Heaton, Executive Director, stated the University of Minnesota recently constructed a new art
center in a densely populated area with a hospital located a half mile away and that they had to meet
some strict requirements. Heaton stated the study conducted by the University of Minnesota cost
$250,000 and took 18 months. Heaton stated the'study focused on the direction of the wind and the
topography of the land. Heaton pointed out everything in the study is not transferable to this site since
certain aspects are site specific but that they are confident the Minnetonka Center of Arts would be able
to comply. Heaton noted the University of Minnesota has 12 kilns and burns 150 to 200 fires a year and
that the Minnetonka Center of Arts would only be doing a fraction of that number.
a
Kaley inquired what the height of the stack was in the report.
Heaton stated the stack height is based on the topi graphy and the wind currents.
Curtis asked if the chimney would be used in the future and whether the present kiln would be utilizing
the chimney.
Heaton stated the present kiln would not utilize the chimney, which is being constructed to
accommodate the future kiln. Heaton stated the stack could be added to if necessary.
1
Murphy inquired what comes out of the top of the kiln and what is used to fuel the fire.
Heaton stated the primary differences between a soda kiln and a stone kiln are the substances that you
add. Heaton indicated the kilns use natural gas to fire them and that the wood kiln that is proposed to
be added would be gas and wood fired. Heaton stated the soda kiln emissions contain a very small
amount of residue from the sodium bicarbonate and whatever the byproducts of the combustion would
be. With a wood kiln, there would be a certain amount of wood smoke created but that the afterburner
is effective in reducing the amount of smoke that is emitted to something that is the equivalent to a
residential fireplace. . !I .
Murphy inquired whether the City Council could look at the wood kiln stove at the time it is installed.
Murphy stated it is his understanding the City dies not have any regulations in place governing
residential wood stoves. .
Rahn stated to his understanding this application is strictly for the construction of the shed to enclose the
kilns and does not deal with the stove itself. 11

(S. #06 -3199 MINNETONKA CENTER FOR ARTS, 2240 NORTH SHORE DRIVE, Continiced)
Heaton stated the main reason for constructing the shed is to give the center some options for firing and
that they would like to install the new soda kiln in the next six months. Heaton stated the chimney
would be added at the same time the structure is constructed for ease of construction rather than try to
retrofit the chimney afterwards.
Murphy suggested the City restrict firing of the wood kiln until the City has the opportunity to examine
the stove.
White stated it would be useful to be provided the manufacturer's specifications on the scrubber being
installed.
Heaton stated the afterburner would not be added until the wood stove is added, which is not expected
to be installed for the next couple of years.
McMillan inquired how Kaley feels about this application.
Kaley indicated she is not concerned about the structure itself but more the emissions and the height of
the stack.
White stated it is his understanding the stack could be increased or decreased.
McMillan stated she would like to see the manufacturer's specifications on the afterburner as well.

Rahn moved, McMillan seconded, to adopt RESOLUTION NO. 5599, a Resolution granting a
variance and conditional use permit for the Minnetonka Center for Arts, 2240 North Shore Drive,
subject to the specifications for the afterburner and the scrubber being submitted prior to the
installation of the wood stove.
Curtis inquired whether the City Council would be requiring a conditional use permit review at the time
the wood stove is installed.
City Attorney Mattick suggested the City Council require that Staff review the specifications.
Rahn suggested that Staff determine whether a permit is required for the kiln based on the review of the
specifications.
Heaton stated the afterburner being proposed is the same unit that is being used at the University of
Minnesota and that the wood stove is also the same size and that they could perhaps obtain the
specifications from them.
White requested Staff review the specifications and determine whether a permit is required and to share
the specifications and results of the review with Ms. Kaley.

Ted Capra, Applicant, was present.
White noted this application is fora variance renewal.
Capra stated this application has been ongoing folly approximately three years and that he is very close to
finishing his plans. Capra stated they have obtained easements from his neighbors to the north and
south to allow them to construct drainage ditcheslto accommodate the runoff. A retaining wall has also
been constructed to handle the runoff.
Capra stated due to the narrowness of the road, he would like to construct an apron to help him
maneuver his boat into the garage and also construct a small walkway from the house into the door to
the garage. Capra noted they did reduce the hardcover somewhat by relocating the house, which
shortened the driveway.

Rahn suggested the applicant look at what hardcover removals could be made.
White asked whether the configuration of the driveway could be angled slightly to make it easier to
access.
Capra stated he has spent thousands of dollars changing his plan in an attempt to comply with the City's
requirements.
White suggested the configuration of the driveway on both sides be curved.
Capra stated he. is willing to change the configuration of the driveway if it would be easier to negotiate.
Bremer stated she would be supportive of the 30 percent hardcover.
Curtis stated the applicant is currently at 30 percent hardcover.
Murphy inquired whether City Engineer Tom Kellogg has reviewed the most recent version of the •
survey.
Kellogg stated if what is before the City Council tonight is the most recent version, he has reviewed it.

requested the City Council table this application and send it back to the Planning Commission to allow
for a review of their application prior to taking action on the amendment. Johnston stated their
application should be before the City Council at their May l4`" meeting.
Johnston recommended Staff delay forwarding the amendment to the Metropolitan Council until their
application has been heard by both the Planning Commission and the City Council. Johnston stated
there is not a rush to submit the amendment.
Murphy noted this application has been tabled twice and that he is unable to comment on the application
that will be heard on the 14'. Murphy stated in his opinion it is best to move forward on the

submitted. Gaffron indicated the proposed association covenants, permits received to date, etc., have
been included in this packet for council review.
Murphy stated it is his understanding this application was on the agenda tonight for the Council to either
approve or deny final plat/general development plat. White questioned why this application was on
tonight's agenda given the failure of the applicants to submit the required items.
Gaffron stated it is his recommendation that this item be tabled.
Murphy inquired why this information has not been submitted.
Carlson stated they were on vacation the past week and a half over spring break and that they did have
good intentions to have everything submitted prior to when they left town. Carlson apologized for the
delay and that they do have their financing in place and are working hard to compile the required
documentation. Carlson stated they have submitted some more documents today and would be

Mike Doyle, CHS Construction, appeared on behalf of the Applicant.
Turner stated the applicant is requesting a setback variance to construct a replacement garage with a
two -foot setback from the westerly side propertyline when a 15 -foot setback is re(fuired. A hardcover
• variance is also requested. An encroachment permit is also required for a portion of the driveway that is
within an unimproved street right -of -way. j
Turner stated the applicant's property is adjacent to a 20 -foot wide unimproved street right -of -way. The
right -of -way extends from the Hennepin County Rail Authority right -of -way to the lake. It seems to
have been intended to provide lake access for the lots on Bayview Place to the south. This street right -
of -way has been identified as a possible locationlfor a trail linking the Dakota Trail and the city property
along the lakeshore. The trail would be eight feet wide. The City Attorney has advised that the trail be
separate from the driveway for liability reasons.' Placing the trail and the driveway within the right -of-
way would require removal of a large blue spruce, a large pine tree, and a large shrub that appear to
belong to the property on the other side of the right -of -way.
The property has a single -stall garage under the front porch that is entered from the side. Until recently
it also had a small single -stall detached garage located to the rear of the house, Turner stated the
applicant had provided a revised site plan but the' driveway would probably need to be straightened out
to allow for easier access.
Doyle stated if the garage were relocated closer fo the easement, it would be easier to locate the
driveway. Doyle stated currently the existing garage is located right along the property line.

13. #07 -3270 MILO H. THOMPSON, 3135 CASCO CIRCLE — VARIANCE AND
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT
Jeff Sweitzer, Architect, appeared on behalf of the Applicant.
Curtis stated the applicant is proposing to construct major additions to the existing home resulting in a
long, narrow home with an attached garage. The garage portion of the home will also serve as a
studio /workshop and contain a guest apartment. The sleeping quarters of the guest apartment are
contained within an observatory or tower which is the only portion of the home within a third level. By
strict interpretation of the Code the tower becomes a full story rather than a half story as permitted. The
applicant would like consideration as to the interpretation of this Code as well as a lot area and side yard
setback variances. •
The applicant is requesting the following variances:
1. A lot width variance to allow construction on a lot 60 feet in width where 100 feet is normally
required;
2. A side yard setback variance to allow construction within the 10 foot required side setback;
3. A variance to the half -story requirement for a portion of the proposed home where the guest
apartment will be located;
4. A variance from the hardcover policy resolution requirement to provide hardcover to any garage
door;
5. A conditional use permit to allow a guest apartment.
The Planning Commission recommended approval of the application as proposed. Staff recommends
approval of the lot width variance; approval of the side setback variance to allow a slightly larger
volume encroachment into the side setback for a higher roofline; and a waiver of the policy requiring
that all garage doors be provided with a hardcover driveway. The Council should discuss the half story
and make a determination as to whether or not a variance is reasonable. In addition, Staff recommends
approval of the conditional use permit for the non - rental guest apartment with the.standard covenants.
Murphy stated he has reviewed the drawings a number of times. Murphy inquired how this structure fits
in with the other homes in the neighborhood.
Curtis stated the home to the east is long and wide.
White commented that it is difficult to see the other homes from this lot and that this structure does not •
seem to stand out.

(14. #07 -3271 JUDSONM. DAYTON, 825 OLD CRYSTAL BAYROAD SOUTH, Continued)
standards for a private road would be a 50 foot minimum outlot corridor and a 24 foot paved width. As
proposed Lots 1, 3, and 4 are back lots, and arguably should not be created based on the provisions of
Section 82 -256 (c)(1)(b).
Additionally, Lots 1, 3 and 4 technically are subject to the back lot dimensional standards for lakeshore
lots in the LR -lA District, summarized as follows:
a. Lots must be at least 3.0 acres in area.
b. Lots must meet a 200 foot lot width standard at the shoreline, at the lakeshore setback line and
at the street yard setback line (the street yard`or front yard for any back lot will be a yard
starting where the narrow access outlot corridor ends and the lot begins).
c. The depth of the required street yard or front yard shall be 75 feet.
d. The required side yard and rear yard depths for back lots shall be 45 feet and 75 feet
respectively. The required lakeshore yard shall be 75 feet.
As proposed, Lots 1, 3 and 4 do not meet these standards. If Outlots A and B were increased to 50 feet
minimum width, it might be reasonable to consider that these three lots abut an acceptable private road.
It may be worth discussion as to whether merely creating the conforming private road corridor, but not
building the road, would be sufficient to eliminate the back lot issue. An area of concern is where
Outlot A goes past the horse barn.
In 2006, Hennepin County Transportation Department indicated that this property should be limited to •
one access onto County Road 84. The fact that this property is being subdivided triggers review by the
County, and although two driveways exist, the county may have the right to limit their increased use for
additional lots.
Orono's Comprehensive Trail System Plan indicates that a trail easement from the Luce Line Trail to
Noerenberg Park along Old Crystal Bay Road is planned for the future. Whether this trail will go on the
east side or the west side of Old Crystal Bay Road has not been determined. Other than a trail easement,
no other park needs are identified in this area, and the property would be subject to the standard park fee
for two or three new lots, giving credit for the existing home on proposed Lot 2.
Hennepin County has requested an additional 17 feet of right -of -way along Old Crystal Bay Road for,
among other uses, trail purposes. The City Council will be asked to consider whether a trail easement
and/or expansion of right -of -way along the east boundary of the property are required.
The City Engineer has suggested that the standard drainage and utility easements will be required along
all lot lines, and the appropriate easements be provided over all wetlands and drainageways. Staff
would expect a more thorough drainage review will ultimately be required, and potentially the need for
certain stormwater management systems. The property will be subject to the standard storm water and
drainage trunk fee.
The property is within the MUSA but does not have municipal sewer directly available at this time. A
sewer force main serving the adjacent Farview neighborhood is expected to be constructed in 2007 and
will be located in the OCB road right -of -way at the east end of the property. It would be the City's
preference that these new lots are provided with municipal sewer. There is the potential that the •

in the fixture.
Winston indicated they are fine with the required setbacks and that the layout of the lots attempt to
accommodate the topography and trees as much as possible. Winston stated there may be a setback
variance necessary in order to preserve some of the trees'.
Murphy inquired why it is necessary to add a fourth lot.
Dayton stated he has recently been divorced and that the addition of the fourth lot gives his ex -wife and
himself some flexibility and would allow him to stay on the property. Dayton stated it is possible that
he would purchase the fourth lot in the future.
Murphy inquired whether the applicant would be willing to have the City's conservation consultants
look at the property and offer some suggestions.
Winston stated they would be willing to allow that.
Dayton stated given the input from the Planning Commission and Staff, they were able to work out most
of the setback issues. Dayton stated it was suggested at the Planning Commission meeting that a portion
of the barn be removed but that they would like to preserve the entire barn given its age and excellent
condition. Dayton stated they would also like to retain some of the other accessory structures.
White inquired why the lot line could not be moved slightly as it nears the lake on Lots 1 and 2.
Dayton pointed out that there is an existing road that once serviced the old cabin and that the location of
the lot lines are in the most logical locations given the service road and the topography.
Winston stated they are willing to work with Staff on that issue and that the surveyor did attempt to
draw the lines to accommodate the trees and other topography.
Dayton noted there are also several restrictive covenants on the lots, which restricts them in some
respects.
McMillan stated in her view the back lot issue does not need to be enforced due to the uniqueness of the
site and the fact that the applicant would be preserving the property basically as is for a period of time.
Bremer commented the property is very unique and worth preserving and that she is glad the applicant
is willing to work with the conservation consultant. Bremer stated she would prefer to see conforming
lots and encouraged the applicant to work with Staff. Bremer stated it would help her visualize the lots
if the survey outlined the location of the trees and depicted the topography.
Bremer stated the City does not need to impose a park dedication fee at this time and that the City can
collect those fees at the time the lots are developed.
White noted the City would not be constructing a trail on the west side of Old Crystal Bay Road since
there is already an existing trail on the east side of the road.

Gaffron noted the Planning Commission recommended denial of a `before the fact' hardcover allotment
variance for Lot 2, concluding that such variance should be applied for in due course at the time a real
proposal for replacement of the home is presented. The applicant has provided an analysis of the
hardcover status of Lot 2, suggesting that a 17,500 square feet allotment would be reasonable rather than
the 75 -250 foot zone 25 percent limit of 14,061 square feet. The applicant has indicated that the.shape
of the lot as a point with much area being within the 0 -75 foot zone is a hardship, as well as the need to
provide for a home commensurate with the surrounding neighborhood.
Stickney indicated they have spoken with the fire marshal regarding the width of the right -of -way and
that they are willing to construct a 40 -foot roadway for a certain portion of the development and then
near the entrance to the Headrick property the road would be reduced to 16 feet and then widened
slightly to 20 feet after it reaches the Shaughnessy property. Stickney stated the proposed road is an
improvement over what currently exists and provides a better view of the lake. Stickney noted they are
also proposing to reduce the overall hardcover on the lots.
Murphy stated there are bigger issues that need to be settled than the hardcover issue and that it would
be inappropriate for the City Council to be approving hardcover variances without seeing a plan.
Murphy commented he would like the City and the property owners to preserve Bracketts Point as much
as possible.
White stated he is reluctant to reduce the road width from
what the fire marshal has recommended.
McMillan inquired how much digging and trenching would be required in order to relocate the utilities.
Stickney indicated there would be some trenching and power cabling. Stickney noted the narrower
roadway would only be serving two private residences and that Mark Gronberg has spoken with the fire
marshal and that what they are proposing is acceptable to him.
Gaffron indicated he did speak with the fire marshal and showed him the proposed plans. The fire
marshal indicated that given the size of the houses, in the event of a fire in this area, it would be likely
that multiple fire departments would be called to respond. Staff is not comfortable recommending a
road width less than 20 feet.
Murphy stated Mr. Stickney makes a good point about the width of the road but that he is unfamiliar
with the tree situation in this area. Murphy suggested that the survey delineate the location of the trees
and topography in the area.
White noted the trees may die due to the utility relocation.
City Engineer Kellogg stated the proposed sanitary sewer profile shows that the sewer would be 20 feet
deep and that it is unlikely the trees would survive.
White recommended the residences also include a fire suppression system of some type.
Murphy stated the road width issue needs to be dealt with but that the City has allowed narrower roads
than what the fire marshal has recommended provided the property owners are advised of the risks

that the City would no longer have to maintain if.
Mattick stated when the City vacates a road, the'City does eliminate its obligation to maintain the road
as well as eliminate some liability issues. Mattick stated when the City is not utilizing a public access, it
sometimes is better to turn it over for private use.
White stated he would like it stated very clearly in the minutes what benefits the City is receiving by

McMillan stated this public access does not have as much value as other public accesses since it does
not access the lake.
Moorse noted this access was given to the City for the purpose of a road, which is no longer needed.
Mattick stated the access can only be used for what it was dedicated for but that he does not have the
exact language of the land dedication.
Murphy stated the City would still be in a position to review what is built on Lot 1 and control what
happens along the shoreline.
White inquired how the City Council feels about the 20 -foot road width. White stated it is doubtful the
trees would survive during the relocation of the utilities.
City Engineer Kellogg noted Staff has not received detailed plans regarding storm water treatment
ponds or the proposed roadway, but pointed out that a 20 foot roadway and a 30 foot right -of -way
would not work without curb and gutter because there would not be enough room to construct a ditch
along either side.
Stickney inquired how the City Engineer feels about what is being proposed.
Kellogg stated the narrower road would not work either and that the water needs to now off the road
somewhere. Kellogg stated the applicant would need to submit further information on that aspect before
he could make a recommendation on how to handle the runoff.
Stickney stated he could look at having easements granted to handle the runoff.
Kellogg suggested a caveat be placed on the preliminary plat approval that the City has the right to
request additional easements to handle the drainage.
Gaffron recommended that the City Council not formally grant preliminary plat approval tonight and to
direct Staff to incorporate items 1 through 11 into a resolution, with the language in item 12 being
revised to deal with storm water management, which would give the applicant time to address that issue.
Stickney stated in his view the easements may address that issue.
Kaley inquired what would happen to the cabin. Kaley noted the water would drain to the west side
since the east side is the high side.
White stated the drainage in that area is an issue and would require further review by the City Engineer.
Gaffron stated the cabin is privately owned.
White stated the cabin would be allowed to remain.

Murphy noted there was a front page article regarding Big Island and the Minnehaha in this week's

Bremer encouraged the other City Council members to read the article included within the

works with teenagers and other troubled adults.
Rahn noted one person on the Board of Review is required to have undergone some specialized training,
and inquired whether anyone on the Council has taken that training.
White and McMillan indicated they both have attended the training. White recommended that Bremer

McMillan stated an insert to the City's newsletter on the organic recycling program is currently at the
printers and would be ready for distribution in the near future. McMillan stated Rachel Dodge has also •
been working on the organics web page.
Murphy inquired about the Dakota Rail Trail being planned by Three River Parks.
McMillan stated the two major issues in Minnetonka Beach are the trail being gravel and a width of six
feet. McMillan stated it was her impression that the Park Board would follow the construction
standards for trails and would not be constructing it at a width of six feet.
