PARK COMMISSION COMMENTS — Irene Silber, Representative
Silber requested the City Council consider establishing a feasibility study to set up an auxiliary Friends of
the Park organization that could function as a fundraising body or a depository to benefit the parks.
Silber stated the Park Commission feels this would be a great way to involve nonresidents as well as
residents of Orono in the City's park system.
McMillan inquired whether being a 501 (c) would help qualify the City for grant money.
Silber stated it would.

the residents of the Townline Road neighborhood, the Independence City Council, and the Medina City
Council to discuss issues associated with the new development project in this area and payment for the
infrastructure necessary to serve this development. Barron stated this development will affect the
character of their neighborhood and they would like to have some input into the design of the road and
other issues relating to this project.

Sue Jellison, Orono, stated they were opposed to closing the road in the first place because of emergency
medical response concerns. Jellison stated they were totally unaware that this development was going in
until Barron informed them. Jellison noted this road is a dead -end road and that there are issues that need
to be addressed given the number of residences that are proposed for this area.
Moorse indicated he did meet approximately two weeks ago with representatives from Medina,
Independence, and Maple Plain to discuss Townline Road and the issues associated with this project.
Moorse stated the City did ask that Medina request the developer pay for a share of the road. Moorse
indicated another issue involved with this developme t is what the future design of the road should be to
handle the increased traffic.
Barron stated she did speak with the Medina mayor Lo indicated that Medina does not own this road
and that the project was approved without assessing any costs of upgrading the road to the developer.

VARIANCE
Robin O'Rourke, Applicant, was present.
Curtis stated at the January Planning Commission meeting the applicants were requesting after - the -fact
variances to allow continued construction of a 16' by 48' lean -to horse shelter structure less than two feet
from the rear property line and 45 feet from the western side lot line where a 75 foot setback from all
property lines is required for a structure used for the keeping of horses.
The Planning Commission voted 6 -0 to deny the setback variances, concluding that the shelter should
meet the required 75 -foot setbacks.
Since the January Planning Commission meeting, the Applicants have revised their request to reflect the
following:
A side setback variance to construct their horse shelter 45' from the western lot line where 75' is
required; and
2. A rear yard setback variance in order for the horse shelter to be 30 feet from the rear lot line
where 75 feet is required.
Planning Staff feels there is no hardship inherent with the land to grant either of the variances. The
Planning Commission has not reviewed the revised proposal, but did indicate at their January meeting
that they would not be supportive of any variances.
O'Rourke stated their hardship deals with the location of the existing structure and that the area depicted
in black on the overhead is the only area available to them to construct this shelter.
Sansevere inquired why the conforming location depicted by staff on the overhead is not adequate.
O'Rourke stated they currently have seven horses and they need the extra room due to safety concerns for
the horses.

Murphy commented he has had horses in the past and that he is not aware that that kind of room is
necessary to raise horses. Murphy noted he did visit the property today and that he does not see a
problem with locating the structure in the conforming location.
•
O'Rourke stated if the structure were constructed in the conforming area, she would not have any shelter
left in the one paddock. O'Rourke noted she is not able to relocate her fence line due to a natural
waterway in the area.
Sansevere inquired whether the structure could be relocated to the left.
O'Rourke stated she would not be 75 feet away fron%the lot line. O'Rourke stated she could relocate the
fence line but she would need to remove a number of trees.
Sansevere commented the fence line does not need to be straight and could be reconfigured.
O'Rourke stated she would still be too far forward to the fence line and the existing barn. O'Rourke
indicated the utilities run on the north side of the blacktop path, which is the reason for the jog in the path.

Sansevere commented the Council needs to consistently enforce the rules whenever possible. Sansevere
noted there is approximately 15 feet from the shelter to the wooded area, which in his opinion is enough
room for the horses.
Murphy inquired whether all seven horses are outside in the same area at the same time. Murphy inquired
how many horses would be utilizing the shelter at one time.
O'Rourke stated the horses are all out at the same time and that there would be a maximum of four horses
utilizing the shelter.
Murphy inquired what the proposed size of the structure is.
O'Rourke stated she would like to construct it 16' by 48'.
Murphy stated that is more room than he has for his horses, and encouraged the applicant to reduce the
size of the structure.
O'Rourke stated she is willing to reduce the size of the structure but that she still would not be able to
meet the 20 feet to the fence line. O'Rourke stated they have tried to explore all their options and that
there are no good alternatives.
Sansevere stated the Council's hands are tied since there is no hardship inherent to the land. •
O'Rourke stated part of the hardship is the location of the existing structure.
Murphy stated by reducing the shed 10 to 15 feet, the problem with the jog in the fence would be
decreased and would allow the fence to be angled from the existing barn over to the wooded area, which .
would create some additional space.
White stated he is in agreement with the Planning Commission's recommendation and that he has not
heard any new information tonight that would allow a variance to be granted.
O'Rourke inquired whether there could be any compromise.
Sansevere stated without a hardship, there is not much the Council can do.
McMillan commented sometimes the conforming location is not the most ideal for the property owner.
Sansevere inquired whether there is any protection offered by the existing barn.
O'Rourke stated there is not.
Sansevere noted the applicant does not need the approval of the council if the structure is built in a
conforming location. Sansevere commented it appears that the Council is not in favor of a variance.

Curtis stated the applicants are requesting variances in order to replace their existing low- pitched roof
with a steeper roof resulting in a half -story to include attic storage space. The existing home is set back
40 feet from the lake and 8.25 feet from the side lot line.
The applicants are requesting the following variances :
1. A lake setback variance to increase the height of the roof at a setback of 40 feet from the OHWL
where 75 feet is required; and
2. A side setback variance for a setback to increase the height of the roof at a setback of 8.25 feet
from the side lot line where 10 feet is required; and
3. An average lake setback variance. ;I
Curtis noted the applicants also have a variety of structures and non - structural encroachments located on
the adjacent property not owned by them, which Staff and the Planning Commission are recommending
be removed.
At their February meeting the Planning Commissiori voted 4 to 1 to recommend approval of the variances
subject to the following conditions:
1. Removal of all encroachments that cross over the property line or exist on the neighboring
property; and l
2. Removal of unnecessary sidewalk, 10' by 16' concrete pad, and any other non - essential
hardcover. 1

The Planning Commission further recommended that the new dormers meet the 10 -foot side setback.
The applicants are also proposing to remove the shed from the adjacent lot and place it on the slab next to
the garage. The applicants would reduce the size of the slab next to the garage to accommodate the shed
with a small apron. Curtis noted the applicants in the future would like to replace the existing roof on the
garage to match the house, and at that time would be willing to remove the shed and remaining slab. The
applicants are also further proposing to remove the play structure from the adjacent lot and relocate it in
the garden near the front door of the residence. In addition, they are proposing to remove the excess
sidewalk.
Staff feels that the excess structure of the shed and the hardcover associated with it is not justified by a
hardship. Since there is not an appropriate or conforming site for the shed to be relocated, Staff would
not be supportive of this request.
Curtis stated the driveway is also an issue for the applicants. The adjacent neighbor utilizes a portion of
the applicants' driveway when he has guests. The driveway existed prior to the applicants owning the
property, with the applicants feeling that the neighbor would drive through their yard and park on their
lawn. The applicants are requesting that the driveway remain to accommodate the neighbor. Staff
recognizes the unique situation at the street side of the applicants' property, as it is used by the public and
the neighboring property owner, and therefore Staff would support the driveway parking area as it exists.
Sansevere inquired whether the applicant is in agreement with Staff on the shed. •
Christensen stated storage is an issue for them at the present time and that it would be nice to be able to
keep the shed during construction on the house. Christensen noted he would be willing to remove the
shed and the slab once the residence is completed.
Murphy inquired whether the applicants are considering changing the footprint on the garage in the
future.
Christensen stated they are not.
Curtis stated the existing garage is located between two and a half to three feet from the property line and
if the pitch of the roof is increased, it would require a variance. .
Christensen stated he could reduce the slab to eight by ten.
Murphy noted the shed would be close to the property line.
Gaffron pointed out the shed would also be located very close to the traveled portion of the roadway.
Christensen stated the shed would be temporary while construction on the house is going on.
Murphy inquired when construction on the garage is expected to commence.

CONCEPT PLAN REVIEW ;I
Gina and Philip Carlson, Interspace West, and Daniel Kaplan, Attorney -at -Law, were present.
Gundlach stated at the last City Council meeting the ?applicants were directed to redesign the architecture
for the proposed townhouse /office units. The applicants have submitted a revised elevation view in an
attempt to incorporate what was discussed at the last'meeting. Gundlach indicated a pitched roof with a
more traditional entryway has been incorporated into the design, with the new units having access through
a shared entrance in the center of the building rather than on the end of the unit. The applicants are still
proposing the buildings to be constructed in clusters and contain the same amount of square footage as the
previous proposal.
Gundlach noted the changes do not affect the parking layout, the finished floor elevations of the units, or
remaining wall heights and elevations.
Staff is requesting the Council determine if the architectural revisions are adequate, and if the revisions
meet Council's expectations, to direct staff to draft a resolution approving the concept plan for approval at
• the next meeting.

Murphy requested the applicants discuss the relationship of the new roofline to the Sugarwoods
neighborhood. Murphy inquired whether the window arrangement on the units has been significantly
changed.
Mrs. Carlson stated she did not calculate the square footage of the windows but that the arrangement is
different from what was previously proposed.
Murphy inquired what materials are being proposed for this development.
Mrs. Carlson indicated the ridge of the new roof design is far below the Sugarwoods development and
would still consist of a standing seam metal roof. Carlson stated they are proposing a stucco type siding
and earth tones for this development.
White inquired whether any dormers are being considered for the roof to help break up the roof area.
Sansevere indicated the amount of roof area is also a concern of his.
Mrs. Carlson indicated they have not obtained any cost estimates on dormers.
White commented the hydrology system on this site is good as well as the parking layout.
Sansevere stated he would only support this application if the rooflines are broken up somehow. •
Mrs. Carlson stated they would be willing to work through that issue with staff in the general
development phase.
Daniel Kaplan noted this is the concept phase and that the applicants have made some conceptual changes
in the project based upon the direction given at the last council meeting. Kaplan suggested the applicants
be given concept approval tonight and be allowed to go into the general development phase. Kaplan
stated it is difficult for the applicants to commit to dormers without knowing how that feature would
economically impact this project.
Sansevere reiterated that he still would not be supportive of this project if the rooflines are not broken up
in some fashion.
Mrs. Carlson indicated they would break up the roofline.
White indicated he is fine with giving concept approval to the project.
Murphy stated in his view it would be helpful to break up the roofline.
McMillan noted the drawings are preliminary since this is the concept plan phase and that she would be in
support of the project.

Murphy pointed out the elevation for this lot is below the Sugarwood neighborhood and that there should
not be an issue with lights shining into the residential area from cars.
McMillan commented she is hopeful this project would be low impact to the Sugarwood neighborhood,
and encouraged the applicants to take into account the lighting on this lot.
Mrs. Carlson pointed out the windows on these units would only be slightly above the basement windows
of the residences in the Sugarwood neighborhood and that the height of the residences would be

Gaffron illustrated on the overhead the areas where the elevation of this site would be lowered and the
areas where the elevation is being raised. Gaffron pointed out some houses will be able to see the upper

White commented that the Sugarwood homeowners association could also plant a row of arborvitae,
which would make a good privacy fence.
Ricks commented that area is not accessible by trucks necessary for planting trees.
Mrs. Carlson reiterated she would be willing to meet with the residents on the site.
Sansevere inquired whether the council had any issues with the office townhouse concept being proposed
for this site. Sansevere inquired how many buildings were going to be constructed initially.
Mrs. Carlson stated they have had good interest in them and that in their opinion it should not be a
problem to sell the units.
Gaffron noted the applicants would need to give the City a letter of credit and enter into a developer's
agreement, which requires that all improvements on the site be completed prior to the first building permit
being issued, but that there is no guarantee that all ten units would get constructed.
