PARK COMMISSION COMMENTS
Sherokee Ilse addressed the City Council and reported that the warming house at the golf
course is now open on Saturdays from noon to 4:00 p.m.
Ilse stated that the Parks Commission is proceeding forward with plans on the tentatively
named Seven Nations Park and will present cost estimates to the City Council at their next
meeting.

that the owner of the Dog House has first rights to the property.
Mayor Jabbour inquired if any time limit has been set for when the owner of the Dog House
has to make a determination on whether to purchase the Eisinger property.
Gappa stated it probably depends on the outcome of Highway 12 and the financing that the
Dog House would receive from MnDot for relocation.
Mayor Jabbour commented that the City should schedule a meeting with all the interested
parties to discuss this issue.
Mayor Jabbour stated that a meeting was held with Fairview Covenant Church to discuss the •
access issue and that a meeting is being scheduled with the adjacent property owner to discuss
that issue. Jabbour remarked that the City Council would like to have a decision on
this issue by May.
Kelley inquired whether the Parks Commission has heard anything from the School District on

ZONING ADMINISTRATOR'S REPORT
( #4) SIDNEY AND BARBARA REBERS /SERVICE 800, INC., 2190 WAYZATA
BOULEVARD - ACCESS UPDATE
Jean Mork Bredeson and Rich Kieman, Service 800, Inc., were present.
Gaffron stated that City Staff has been meeting with MnDot to resolve the access issue for
this site. MnDot has stated they will not approve the access as proposed because the
driveway is essentially parallel to Highway 12 while still in the right -of -way. MnDot will
approve an access that heads northward in Otten's property, but this would require significant
changes to the Service 800 site plan. Another option is that MnDot may look favorably on a
reconveyance or turnback of the triangular portion of right -of -way and MnDot would transfer
its right -of -way easement rights to the City.
Gaffron stated Service 800 would like to begin construction on the site as soon as possible
using the existing right- in/right -out curb cut on a temporary basis. Once MnDot approval is
obtained for one of the proposed options, Service 800 will construct a new access across from
Brimhall. Service 800 has submitted a revised site plan with parking against
Highway 12 frontage rather than against the front of the building.
• Gaffron stated under Option l Cliff Otten will request that MnDot reconvey the
triangle to him, which would require him to acquire the underlying fee title to the triangle
from the current fee owners. Otten would also pay MnDot the appraised value of MnDot's
road easement. Staff will support this option with the following conditions: Otten must
grant /dedicate to the City a 70' right -of -way corridor within the triangle across from Brimhall,
extending from Highway 12 to the north line of the triangle, for use as a future public road,
and is willing to grant to Service 800 an easement across the eastern portion
of the triangle. Service 800 would then build a driveway access to Highway 12 within the
easement and right -of -way corridor.
Staff would like Otten to complete acquisition of the fee title from the Daniels' heirs within 30
days, and if this is not possible, Option 2 will be explored. Staff is anticipating a 60 day
review by MnDot staff with six to nine months to finalize paperwork. Some potential pitfalls
include higher acquisition costs for the land than Otten is willing to pay or MnDot staff may
decide to retain their easement and deny the reconveyance.
Option 2 involves the City formally applying to MnDot for turnback to the City of MnDot's
easement over the triangle, based on the City's intention to have a future public road access at
this location. The City can and will develop a section of road in the triangle, especially if
required by MnDot in order for turnback to occur, to City specifications for one or more
• users. This option requires additional discussion with MnDot in order to determine whether
that road needs to be constructed before a turnback will be given to the City. The City will

( #4 Sidney and Barbara Rebers /Service 800, continued)
grant an administrative variance to allow the access driveway into the Service 800 site to be
less than 100 feet from the intersection.
Gaffron remarked that if Service 800 is allowed to start with a temporary access into the
site, a fallback option is necessary, and that would be that Service 800 would be prepared to
build a driveway across Otten's property to the northwest corner of the Service 800 site.
Staff does not prefer this option, but this option may become necessary if the turnback and
reconveyance options fail to gain MnDot approval.
In order to make this option viable, Otten would have to grant Service 800 an easement to
the northwest corner of their site, Service 800 would have to commit to building this driveway
by establishing a letter of credit to cover the costs of driveway construction, with
said easement and letter of credit being extinguished if Options 1 or 2 happen, and the City
would have the ability to require construction of this driveway by a certain date if Options 1
and 2 did not ultimately happen.
Gaffron noted that no formal resolution is before the City Council at this time, but Staff is
looking for City Council approval to continue to pursue these options.
Jean Mork Bredeson, Service 800, commented that if access is required at the rear of the •
site, it will lower the value of the property, but Service 800 is still willing to pursue that
option if necessary. Bredeson stated that Service 800 would like to continue to pursue the
other two options.
Rich Kieman, Service 800, stated they expect a decision fi-om MnDot within the next 30 to 60
days.
Gaffron remarked for Option 2 to occur, MnDot normally requires that the road be
constructed before a turnback is given.
Mayor Jabbour commented that if the City is going to go forward with one of these options,
the City needs to be assured that the temporary curb cut will eventually be closed. Jabbour
noted if access is in the back, there is a concern with emergency vehicle access.
Kelley stated he has a concern with Otten's lot and the potential for increased development
along Highway 12. Kelley cautioned the City Council about not losing sight of possible
development in the future on the land to the west. Kelley also raised concerns about possible
stacking of automobiles on the extension to Brimhall to the north, and noted that Otten was
required to construct his driveway a certain distance from the intersection.
Sansevere inquired whether Service 800 had considered acquiring fee title to the triangular •
ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING
MINUTES FOR JANUARY 25, 1999
( #4 Sidney and Barbara Rebers /Service 800, continued)
piece which would eliminate the need to utilize the Otten property.
Bredeson stated that option has been discussed and that the triangular piece of property is
more appealing to Otten's because it increases his property value.
Flint inquired as to who would incur the costs of construction for these various options has
been discussed.
Gaffron stated the costs to construct a left -turn eastbound lane at the intersection would be
incurred by Service 800.
Kellogg commented that in his opinion this lane would cost approximately $8,000 to $10,000.
Mayor Jabbour suggested that attorney fees also be included in the costs.
Barrett stated that the City could require the Applicants pay any acquisition costs for a
public road.
• Mayor Jabbour commented that the City Council has a fiduciary duty to protect its citizens
and the interests of the City.
Bredeson noted that Option 3 does require that Service 800 provide a letter of credit to cover
the costs of construction at no risk to the City.
Mayor Jabbour remarked that steps need to be taken to insure that the letter of credit is
renewed if this project extends beyond one year.
Flint commented he has concerns about Options 1, 2, and 3 as outlined in the update dated
January 25, 1999, and prefers Option 1 A as outlined in Gaffron's January 21, 1999
memorandum.
Kelley agreed that Option 1 A may be the best solution.
Bredeson commented to change the location of the building would cost Service 800 a
substantial amount of money.
Rich Kiernan commented that in his view the present location of the building is the best and
that access across from Brimhall is the best option.
• Mayor Jabbour commented that he will contact Cliff Otten tomorrow and inform him about
what has been discussed at tonight's meeting.
ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING

( #4 Sidney and Barbara Rebers /Service 800, continued)
Sansevere inquired how much the driveway is estimated to cost
Bredeson stated it has been estimated it will cost approximately $75,000 to build a roadway
the length of their north property boundary.
Sansevere commented that it may be less expensive to relocate the building than to build a
driveway to the rear of the property.
Bredeson stated Service 800 has looked into that and they would like some additional time to
continue to pursue their options.
Kelley encouraged Service 800 to look at Option IA.
Mayor Jabbour stated the record should reflect that the Applicant is requesting that this
application be tabled to allow them additional time to pursue their options.
Barrett stated a letter agreeing to the extension could be sent to the Applicant.
Motion by Jabbour, second by Kelley, to table Application #2425, Sidney and Barbara •
Rebers /Service 800, Inc., 2190 Wayzata Boulevard, per the Applicant's request.
VOTE: Ayes 4, Nays 0.

RESOLUTION NO. #4226
Rich Ross, Morton Buildings, was present.
Weinberger stated the Applicant has requested a variance to allow an oversized accessory
structure on the property. The Applicant is proposing to construct a 36' by 77' pole -barn
style building which will be attached to an existing 20' by 49' accessory building by a ten foot

walkway. Weinberger stated a building permit was previously issued for this structure, and
subsequently the Applicant inquired about connecting both structures with a 10' by 10'
walkway.
Weinberger remarked that the maximum allowed accessory structure on a lot larger than nine
acres is 3,000 square feet. The total combined square footage of the old and proposed
structures would be 3,852 square feet.
Kelley inquired how much of this parcel is dry buildable.
Weinberger stated he is not sure of the exact number but it would be under ten acres.
Kelley inquired whether consideration has been given to the fact that a large accessory
structure might be left should this property be subdivided in the future.
Weinberger commented that unfortunately the amount of dry buildable land was not
calculated, but in his opinion it would be approximately seven acres.
Sansevere commented that aesthetically it would look better with a breezeway rather than
Shaving the two buildings situated ten feet apart.
Kelley commented that a variance is still needed to allow the accessory structure.
Weinberger stated that a restrictive covenant would be required to be filed on the property
stating that any future subdivision would require the accessory building to remain on the lot
with the existing residence, or for a short time period the building could remain on a new lot.
However, this lot does not have enough dry buildable land to be subdivided under the
current zoning designation.
Motion by Flint, second by Sansevere to approve Application #2445, 4300 Sixth
Avenue North, and to adopt RESOLUTION NO. #4226, a Resolution granting
variances allowing construction of an oversized accessory structure on the property
with a maximum foot print of 3,8.52 square feet and to permit the structure to exceed
the height of the principal structure on the lot. VOTE: Ayes 3, Nays 1, Kelley

PLAT - RESOLUTION NO. #4230
Glen Gronberg, Applicant, was present, and Mark Gronberg, Architect, was present.
Weinberger stated the Applicant is requesting preliminary plat approval for a two -lot
subdivision of a 5.07 acre site located off North Willow Drive. The proposed area for
subdivision is scheduled to be purchased by MnDot as part of the Highway 12 development
plan along the existing railroad corridor with a stormwater pond being constructed over much
of the subject lot.
Weinberger stated the subdivision was originally approved in 1979, with an outlot being
created for the purposes of serving as a driveway for the three lots. The driveway was built in
1988 at the time of construction of the residence. Resolution #1065 stated that the private
driveway in Outlot A would serve a maximum of three residences within the Spruce Acres
Subdivision.

• ( #2450 Glen Gronberg, continued)
The Applicants have submitted a revised plan which proposes to create a new outlot and to
construct a private road joining the adjacent Outlot A within the Spruce Acres Subdivision,
which would eliminate the need for a back lot. The private road would be required to be
developed, including an 80' cul -de -sac platted at 100 feet in diameter, at the time Lot 1 would
receive a building permit. The existing driveway arrangement would remain in place until that
time.
The Planning Commission recommended approval of the subdivision with the understanding
that the property would be acquired by MnDot. Weinberger noted that the proposed septic
sites have been inspected and both the primary and alternate drainfield sites meet all City and
State standards, and the existing sites on Lot 2 are conforming systems and would not be
impacted by the subdivision.
The Parks Commission has reviewed this application at their January 4th meeting and have
recommended the City collect one park dedication fee for one new lot.
Weinberger stated the Applicant would need to develop a covenant for wetlands located
within Lot 1 and the need to obtain the necessary approvals from the Corps of Engineers and
Minnehaha Creek Watershed District before any alterations are approved. A road
• maintenance agreement would also need to be entered into with the neighboring property
owners prior to final plat approval.
Mayor Jabbour questioned why a cul -de -sac was being required.
Weinberger stated a cul -de -sac is necessary for emergency vehicle access and to service the
four lots.
Kelley inquired how much land MnDot will be taking.
Gronberg commented that he is unsure at this time how much land MnDot will be acquiring.
Mayor Jabbour remarked the City Council does not want to create a lot that does not have a
proper septic site should MnDot decide not to acquire a portion of this land.
Mark Gronberg stated there is some extra land available on each lot to play with.
Mayor Jabbour commented that the septic systems are not a part of the right -of -way position.
Mark Gronberg inquired whether the park dedication fee is necessary.
• Mayor Jabbour stated he is in favor of the park dedication fee.
ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING

( #2450 Glen Gronberg, continued) •
Mark Gronberg inquired whether the park dedication fee could be paid at the time the building
permit, is issued.
Flint stated the park dedication fee could go up if payment of the fee is delayed until the time
the building permit is issued and that the City's ordinances require that the fee be paid at the
time of final plat.
Mayor Jabbour stated the park dedication fee is based on eight percent of the value of the
land, and that the City's position is that the fee will not be waived unless some type of
hardship is demonstrated.
Gronberg questioned the requirements for the road.
Kelley remarked that the road will not need to be built until the time the building permit is
issued.
Motion by Sansevere, second by Kelley, to approve Application 42450, 325 Willow
Drive North and adopt RESOLUTION NO. #4230 granting preliminary plat approval.
Mayor Jabbour stated the record should show that the primary and secondary septic sites are
located outside the construction limits proposed by MnDot and should be fine.
Gronberg inquired whether the City Council would be willing to vote on whether the park
dedication fee should be waived until the time the building permit is issued.
Mayor Jabbour inquired whether the City Council would be willing to allow the park
dedication fee to be paid at the time the building permit is issued.
Flint commented that in his opinion the ordinance requires that the fee be paid at the time of
final plat approval.
Barrett remarked that in his opinion the ordinance requires that it be paid at the time of final
plat and that there could be some type of variance application submitted to have the fee paid
at the time the building permit is issued.
Mayor Jabbour commented in his opinion it would have a negative impact on the process if
the park dedication fee is waived until the building permit is issued.
Flint stated that the park dedication fee was considered and factored into the plat process.

Mayor Jabbour stated the Watershed District is in the process of appointing two members to
the District and would like the City of Orono to send a letter supporting Malcolm Reid for
appointment to the Watershed District. Mayor Jabbour commented he has not had a chance
to personally meet with him but has heard positive things about him.

have offered to split the cost of a new defibrillator, and that the Orono Police Department will
eventually be getting an additional one when the Long Lake Fire Department updates theirs.
The North Tonka Crime Prevention Coalition has also requested that the Orono Police Chief
develop a list of items that are outside the normal budget to be funded by donations.
Flint stated that he has spoken with Mr. Meyer about the ad hoc committee to deal with the
Dakota Rail Trail and he is anxious to proceed with the committee. Flint suggested that
someone be appointed to chair the committee.

Mayor Jabbour indicated that he has spoken with Ron Moorse about scheduling a meeting
with the Mayor of Mound, the Mayor of Spring Park, the Mayor of Minnetonka Beach and
the Mayor of Wayzata to discuss this issue.
Mayor Jabbour commented that he would like to schedule an early morning "town meeting"
every Saturday in March to discuss issues pertaining to the City of Orono which would enable
the citizens to meet with the Mayor on an informal basis.
Mayor Jabbour remarked that with the year 2000 approaching, more and more of the local
residents are acquiring generators for their private use.
Gappa commented that NSP has been experiencing problems with some of these generators
due to incorrect installation.
Mayor Jabbour stated the citizens should be made aware of the steps that Orono is taking to
ensure that those problems will not occur in the year 2000, and that the residents follow the
proper steps in installing a generator.
Kelley suggested the Uniform Building Code be reviewed to see if some licensing procedure
needs to be followed as well as an inspection of the generators once installation is completed. •
Gappa stated this issue can be included in the spring newsletter.
