North Hennepin Mediation Program Beth Bailey of the North Hennepin Community Mediation Services gave a brief presentation to the Council explaining the program's core belief that people have the ability to resolve their own disputes. Begun in 1983, the program provides 100 volunteer mediators which conduct over 1400 mediations each year within its contracted communities. I� . Murphy asked what the qualifications were of the volunteer mediators used by the service Bailey replied that, while the Supreme Court stipulates!a set of basic requirements, the program has additional standards it adheres to. She pointed out that a volunteer does not have to possess a degree in mediating, but must be a good listener and is required to attend initial 30 hour mediation training and an additional 6 hour refresher each year. Sansevere inquired as to the cost to each contracted community Bailey responded that, in addition to state and private funding, the program fees for each community are tied to the size of the community itself. She indicated that they would recommend an 18 month contract at the fee of $3000, and an annual renewal rate of $2,000. Bailey pointed out that there are no fees for those who participate in the mediation services where contracts in those communities exist. • McMillan commented that she felt this was a worthwhile service to provide to Orono citizens. Mayor Peterson stated that the city already approved the contract at its last City Council meeting and the Orono Police Department has already posted the service on its,website and begun making referrals.

PARK COMMISSION COMMENTS - Paul Pesek, Representative Pesek thanked the Council members who were able to join the Park Commission on its recent Park Tour. He noted that the Commission would not be having a July meeting due to the holiday, but would be discussing the concept of installing a dog park at Bederwood in an upcoming meeting and report back. Murphy asked whether the Commission would be taking a second trip to Big Island. Pesek stated that the Commission hoped to return to the Vet Camp property in July, since several members were unable to attend their previous visit. While he was unsure of how to use the parcel, Pesek stated that it was a wonderful place and the City had probably made a good decision to purchase it. Murphy stated that he would like to see the entire Commission and Council take a trip out to the property to view it over the summer months. • PLANNING COMMISSION COMMENTS - Roland Jurgens, Representative Jurgens stated that he would remain for questions. PUBLIC COMMENTS - (Limit 5 Minutes Per Person) There were none. ZONING ADMINISTRATOR'S REPORT 3. #02 -2840 John Terrance Homes, LLC, "2550" Kelley Parkway - Final Plats of Stonebay Phases 3-4-5 - 6 — Resolution Nos. 5336, 5337, 5338 and 5339 Gaffron explained that John Terrance Homes, LLC, was selling its interest in the remaining four residential phases of Stonebay to Arne Zachman, who will be developing these final 4 phases under a new business entity to be known as "OT Development, LLC ". He continued, noting that the request was for final plat approval for the remaining 4 phases, while Landform will continue on as the engineers for the development. Murphy questioned how the Council could guarantee that the quality of the four remaining phases would be the same quality they had come to expect from the previous developer. Gaffron stated that staff would continue to monitor the development and ask the developer to continue with the same level of quality or standards as originally represented, or it can be brought back to the City Council for review. Murphy stated that he had been approached by two different individuals who had urged him to be wary that the new • developer, Zachman, might attempt to `cheapen up' the product.

Attorney Barrett indicated that staff could provide sup lervision to enforce the contracts that the City has with the developer. i . Sansevere asked whether Mr. Zachman could be reached and asked to attend this evening in order to answer some of the questions posed by Council member Murphy. Steve Johnston, Landform, stated that he was uncomfortable commenting on the quality of what the new developer would be building; however, concurred with staff that tjprevious development agreements would ensure certain standards would be met with regard to the outside appearance. Johnston stated that he was aware that Zachman had hired a new architect and hopes to add elevators to the ramblers, as the finished product seems to be demanding custom level quality in this construction. White asked whether the City should be made privy to why the development transfer was occurring. Johnston stated that it was long and involved and asked that he be allowed a short break to consult with the City • Attorney and try to contact Mr. Zachman. The item was deferred until after item 5. * 4. #04 -2969 Terry and Gretchen Blount, 1390 Cherry Place - Conditional Use Permit — Resolution No. 5340 White moved, McMillan seconded, approving RESOLUTION NO. 5340, a Resolution granting a conditional use permit for 1390 Cherry Place to allow land alterations within the 75' setback of Lake Minnetonka. VOTE: Ayes 5, Nays 0. I 5. #05 -3097 Hashem Abukhadra, 1745 Fox Street — Subdivision Gundlach explained that the applicant was requesting preliminary plat approval in order to create 6 lots on one block including construction of a private road. The property is abutting Long Lake Creek which leads to Tanager Lake and eventually Lake Minnetonka, placing the pr operty in the Shoreland Overlay District. One house and guest house currently exist on the property. The Planning Commission set forth 5 stipulations for discussion by the Council with the applicant which included: 1. Guest House — The Planning Commission recommended that the guest house be allowed to remain until after the time the existing main house is demolished and the lot is redeveloped. Gundlach noted that if lot 6 is considered a back -lot, a front yard and side yard setback variance will need to be granted in order for it to remain in its current location, and city policy has been that at the time of platting, all existing non - conformancies must be • eliminated. Page 3 of 12 MINUTES OF THE ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING Monday, June 27, 2005 7:00 o'clock p.m. 5. . #05 -3097 Hashem Abukhadra,1745 Fox Street — Subdivision, Continued 2. Lot 6 as a back -lot — In order to eliminate as many accesses onto Fox Street and to allow the existing house to use the existing driveway, proposed Lot 6 has been suggested to be considered a back -lot; therefore, the lot and existing house meets the 150% setback requirements. 3. Elimination of the existing accesses onto Fox Street — The applicant has expressed his desire to keep the existing access onto,Fox Street for the guest house; whereas, staff and the Planning Commission have recommended that it and the existing driveway access to the western end be eliminated at the time the new road is completed. 4. Septic Sites for proposed Lot 6: Lot 6 contains the main house and guest house — Since the existing septic sites are not adequate and non - compliant the applicants should be directed to submit a design for 2, 7- bedroom sites, which would require a variance from the Septic Code. 5. Rural Oasis Study — Gundlach encouraged the Council to consider whether this property should or could be required to. undergo additional planning steps prior to final plat based on preliminary conclusions of the Rural Oasis study. • McMillan asked whether the parcel contained enough acreage to support the main house and guest house. is Gundlach acknowledged it did. With regard to the Rural Oasis study, Murphy asked whether the City might like to see swales as opposed to curb and gutter in this development. Mark Gronberg, Gronberg & Associates, stated that the engineer had encouraged them to direct the storm water to the NURP pond via buffer strips, and various treatment methods. He indicated that engineering swales would cost them this entire construction season, as well as, be difficult to accomplish due to the grades near Fox Street. Murphy maintained that the City had been studying alternatives to curb and gutter over the past year, and that he would prefer the construction process be slowed in order to allow the applicant adequate time to consider other treatment methods. Gronberg pointed out that curb and gutter would only impact 8 acres, while an additional 13 acres would be treated in other ways. In addition, Gronberg indicated that by using retaining walls near the curb and gutter, they avoid losing numerous mature trees that would be lost to swales. Sansevere cautioned the Council that what is decided in this instance might be precedent setting and questioned what has been discussed with regard to the Rural Oasis study and how it could be implemented. Moorse pointed out that what has been discussed with regard to the Rural Oasis Study must be incorporated into the Comprehensive Plan and put into Ordinance form before the Council can enforce its vision. Sansevere urged this and other developers to incorporate the Council's sentiments with regard to the Rural Oasis • study into their developments until which time they are put into Ordinance form.

Anus Abukhadra, applicant, stated that his family al §o wished to preserve as much of the land as possible, but need 6 lots within the property to accommodate 6 family members. White stated that he was more concerned by the loss of the dramatic views caused by reshaping the land than curb and gutter. Bruce Vang, Orono Building Inspector, asked whether the guest house required additional acreage as a back -lot. Gaffron pointed out that if the guest house acreage requirements and 150% back -lot requirement were cumulative the guest house requires 6 acres to support it; where as, the dry buildable is closer to 5.2 dry buildable acres. Mayor Peterson asked if the Council could allow the of the construction until the applicant has gone thru curb and gutter. Gronberg reiterated that, due to certain slopes, they i areas. McMillan stated that she feared more land install curb and gutter in this instance. applicant to subdivide to build one house, then delay the rest le 'process with the MCWD to consider other alternatives to still need curb and gutter to retain the hillside in some might occur due to natural erosion if the applicant did not Tom Brown, 760 South Brown Road, stated that his issues pertain to the closure and regrading of Fox Street. He questioned why the new access road could not be moved back where the existing pond is in an effort to preserve this beautiful parcel. He asked why an environmental study had not been performed. Mayor Peterson pointed out that the size of the prop Gronberg reiterated that the setbacks to the pond, as must be placed. As proposed, the sight lines for the i allows the applicant to subdivide the parcel into 6 lots. as, the septic sites all play into where the lots and road will be improved. Jurgens interjected that the Planning Commission made a recommendation that there be one driveway access for all 6 homes onto Fox Street; whereas, the rationale for t, 'he guest house to remain became part of the bargaining process. McMillan stated that she agreed with everything except the allowance for the guest house. Attorney Barrett reminded the Council that statute and ordinance requires that a hardship exist to allow the guest house to remain. ; i Gaf -ron stated that a variance would be necessary, since as a back -lot, the guest house needs to be setback 75'. He pointed out that the need to create six lots was the basis for the hardship. Page 5 of 12 i r MINUTES OF THE ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING Monday, June 27, 2005 7:00 o'clock p.m. S. #OS -3097 Hashen: Ahukhadra,1745 Fox Street — Subdivision, Continued Sansevere stated that he was unable to see how a hardship created by the applicant could be considered a hardship Gronberg stated that in order to eliminate the second access from Fox Street, the applicant was forced to create the back -lot scenario. Attorney Barrett explained that a hardship must be derived from the land, though he could see where moving the road due to problems with the land and the need to delineate septic sites could be articulated into a hardship. Gronberg concurred, adding that avoiding the second access off Fox Street created an additional hardship. Mayor Peterson asked whether Council members were comfortable with the hardship as articulated by Attorney Barrett, that the guest house be allowed to remain acknowledging the removal of the main house is not imminent. Gaffron questioned in 20 years when the time came to rebuild the guest house, whether this agreement, though put in the chain of title, might be forgotten. He referred to staff's original recommendation that the guest house be removed. Murphy moved, White seconded, that the guest house be removed if lot 6 is to be considered a back -lot. • VOTE: Ayes 2, Nays 3, Sansevere, Mayor Peterson, and McMillan dissenting. McMillan moved, Sansevere seconded, that the guest house be allowed to remain until such time that it is redeveloped based on existing hardships due to septic sites, back -lot scenario and the topography of the site. . VOTE: Ayes 3, Nays 2, White and Murphy dissenting due to the lack of hardship. McMillan moved, White seconded, that Lot 6 be considered a back-lot, with the elimination of the Fox Street access for safety reasons. VOTE: Ayes 5, Nays 0. With regard to the septic sites, Gaffron pointed out that the first septic site must be built now to serve the main and guest houses, before final plat approval. Murphy moved, White seconded, that the City Council accepts the premise that two 7- bedroom septic mound systems are sufficient with one to be built within one year, and a second site to be preserved for future use. VOTE: Ayes 5, Nays 0. White moved, and then withdrew a motion to require the applicant to complete a tree survey, as no policy is in place to demand this of an applicant, thus unfair in this situation. Abukhadra stated that his family wishes to preserve as many trees as possible, though removal of some trees is necessary. McMillan questioned how the lakeshore or shoreland overlay might impact future access via docks etc. Abukhadra stated that there is one dock at the peninsula of the property currently. • Page 6 of 12 =COUNCEL, TES OF THE ORONO MEETING • Monday, June 27, 2005 7:00 o'clock p.m. 5. #05 -3097 Hashem Abukhadra,1745 Fox Stied— Subdivision, Continued Though difficult to define, Gaffron pointed out that, since the property is at the 929.4 elevation, it is within the Lake Minnetonka boundary, and should therefore be subject to lakeshore setbacks of 75' from the shoreline. He asked whether Council would accept a dock. McMillan stated that she felt preservation of the lakeshore was essential; therefore, a 75' setback was important with the allowance of a small dock at the peninsula, though no canopies. 3. Continued - #02 -2840 John Terrance Homes, LLC, "2550" Kelley Parkway - Final Plats of Stonebay Phases 3 -4 -5 -6 — Resolutions Arne Zachman, of OT Development, stated that it w 's his intent to dress up the exterior and interiors of the homes and add elevators, thus increasing the values by $50,000 - 100,000. He maintained that the current quality would be met or even enhanced. I Murphy noted that statements brought to his attention' caused him concern and asked whether Zachman proposed significant changes. • Zachman stated that he must honor and adhere to the developer's agreement, but plans to add more stone to the fagade, and make some minor revisions to the interiors. Johnston pointed out that the price of the units has justified the upgrades. As a fluid process, Gaffron stated that the proof will be when the City receives the building plans, whether tweaks again will be necessary, the burden will be put on staff to monitor the development. Attorney Barrett pointed out that the existing contractual language gives staff license to make recommendations. Zachman indicated that it is his intent to increase curb: appeal and sell units quicker.

She noted that staff concurs with the Planning Commission recommendation for approval as long as the grading plan meets the 4 conditions as laid out by the Planning Commission. Though he noted the structure meets hardcover and structural cover requirements, White commented that the drainage and wall systems leap out at him. Gundlach stated that the applicant has verified that the amount of drainage can be handled by this design. Vang approached the Council and explained that, though it is not a great amount of water but the speed at which it moves that is of concern and being addressed by this drainage plan. He maintained that slowing the water before it hits the lowest flat area at the water's edge is of greatest concern. In an effort to catch and direct the water down toward the bottom of a funnel swale system instead of the neighbor's property, Vang felt this to be an effective system. . Murphy stated that he had never seen a wall which goes across property lines even with a letter of agreement between two neighbors. Vang noted that this perpendicular wall crossing both properties would benefit both home • P owners. McMillan asked if Vang's earlier concerns regarding drainage had been addressed by this design. Vang stated that this particular house design was driving the need for the walls to handle the drainage. White complimented the applicant on a nice set of plans for the Council to view and suggested that landscaping be used to screen the walls. Palm stated that, since the grade falls off quickly, and the need to direct drainage requires walls, they used two different materials to break up the concrete expanse. He noted that he would be putting together a landscape plan to screen the walls. White stated that if he were the neighbor, he too, would want the walls to help direct runoff. The neighbors stood and stated that they did want the retaining wall system as proposed. Mayor Peterson stated that she would have preferred the home be scaled back to accommodate the runoff rather than creating a dramatic runoff system to handle the flow. Vang explained that runoff has been a problem, due to the topography of the neighborhood, not just this proposed new construction. Vang pointed out that, in fact, under the proposed grading plan the construction will help out the neighbors runoff problem and not increase it in any way. • Palm pointed out that all of the water to the north of their properties runs down their lots.

VOTE: Ayes 4, Nays 1, Mayor Peterson dissenting. 1 Mayor Peterson felt the design was too much house, for the lot size. 7. #05 -3110 Thomas and Sheila Browne, 760 Brown Road South -Variance —Resolution No. 5342 White moved, McMillan seconded, adopting RESOLUTION NO. 5342, a Resolution approving the lake setback variance in order to construct a 2 "d story dormer and denying lake setback and hardcover variances in order to construct a garage addition. VOTE: Ayes 5, Nays 0. 8. #05 -3111 Water Street Homes, LLC on be half of Randall and Sara Hogan, 2260 Fox Street - Conditional Use Permit and Variances — Resolution No. 5343 McMillan questioned whether the wetland calculation wag .included in the redesigned site plan. � p Gaffron pointed out that code does not state whetherlor not you use wetland for oversize accessory space • calculations. He stated that the argument could be made that if one considers p rs wetland open space, one should get credit for it, but since the code is not specific and lot,�area typically does not include wetland in its overall calculations it is unclear depending how you look at wetland. Attorney Barrett maintained that it had been determined in a previous meeting hat the driveway veway outlot was to be considered as part of the lot area. Gaffron concluded that if the outlot and wetland were added together, as determined in the previous meeting, the applicant would be close to meeting accessory building size restrictions. McMillan suggested that item #5 in the Resolution be removed as it was redundant. Murphy stated that he found the premise of this prop Isal to be interesting and encourage hoped to be more creative like this applicant. p g other builders to White moved, McMillan seconded, adopting RESOLUTION NO. 5343, a revised Resolution granting variances and CUP for the proposed Oversized Accessory Structure, with the removal of paragraph 5 on page 3.

VOTE: Ayes 5, Nays 0. 11. #05 -3125 Christine Valerius, 2377 Shadywood Road -Amend Conditional Use Permit Gundlach explained that the applicant requests an amendment to the conditional use permit for a coffee shop /restaurant approved in April of 2004 which would allow a portion of the upper level to be used as an office and grant a side street setback variance to allow a second story staircase to be setback 21.5' from the side street lot line when 35' is required, 24' was previously approved, and 15' formerly existed. Gundlach noted that the Planning Commission voted 5 -1 to approve the requested conditional use permit and side street setback variance to permit a private office and 2nd story exterior staircase stipulating that the staircase be constructed of wrought iron material of a color consistent with the building. Mayor Peterson inquired as to what the hardship was for granting the additional exterior staircase. Gaffron stated that the change in use forced the need for the outside staircase, in essence a building code issue. Though a self imposed hardship, Gaffron stated that the Planning Commission felt it was reasonable. Originally a coffee shop /restaurant was to be run by the applicant, Murphy questioned how it had become a chain • store, plus additional rental office space upstairs. He questioned whether the City would have approved this concept under the original application. Gaffron stated that this different use triggers an amendment to the original application and resolution. White stated that this is a business use in a business district. Sansevere stated that he was unsure whether he saw a legitimate hardship to warrant the outside staircase. Valerius stated that without the outside staircase the building fails to meet code and they cannot access the upper office space. Gaffron stated that staff is accepting Lyle Oman, the building inspector's opinion, that the current inside staircase does not meet code for the added second floor use. Murphy asked if there is adequate parking to accommodate a Caribou coffee shop. He questioned additional changes from the original plan, the handicapped ramp had been moved, windows, doors, and now the stairway. Sansevere suggested the Council table the request and allow the applicant time to consider their options. Mayor Peterson pointed out that the applicant had changed their use from what was originally proposed. The added use they have created does not provide them with legitimate hardship. • Valerius stated that the building inspector had led her to believe getting approval for adding the exterior stairway would be no big deal. She maintained that the City was denying her use of her building.
