L • ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES FOR MARCH 22, 1999 ROLL CALL The Council met on the above mentioned date with the following members present: Mayor Gabriel Jabbour, Council Members Richard Flint, Barbara Peterson, and Bob Sansevere. Council Member Charles Kelley was absent. Representing Staff were City Administrator Ron Moorse, City Attorney Tom Barrett, Planner /Zoning Administrator Elizabeth Van Zomeren, Senior Planning Coordinator Michael Gaffron, Assistant Zoning Administrator Paul Weinberger, City Engineer Tom Kellogg, and Recorder Jackie Young. Mayor Jabbour called the meeting to order at 7:00 p.m. ( #1) 7:00 P.M. - PUBLIC HEARING, 7:01 P.M. - 7:04 p.m. On Sale and Sunday Liquor License - Spring Hill Golf Club at 725 Sixth Avenue North City Administrator Ron Moorse stated that the Spring Hill Golf Club is requesting an On Sale and Sunday Intoxicating Liquor License. Although an on sale liquor license is usually issued to a • restaurant open to the general public, the State Liquor Control Commission has indicated it is possible to consider club members and their guests to be the general public for purposes of the liquor license. Private golf clubs generally obtain a "Club" liquor license; however, a club license requires the private golf club to be in existence for a minimum of three years. The Spring Hill Golf Club will not meet this requirement until the year 2000. Moorse indicated all the required reviews have been completed. The Police Department has also completed their background investigation and has indicated no objections to granting the license. City Attorney Barrett commented Orono's ordinance is identical to State Statutes regulating liquor licenses and he is willing to accept the State Liquor Control Commission's interpretation of that statute. Mayor Jabbour noted that the Spring Hill Golf Club will be required to obtain a "Club" liquor license after three years. There were no public comments. Flint commented that it should be understood that Spring Hill Golf Club will obtain a "Club" liquor license once eligible. Flint moved, Peterson seconded, to approve the application of Spring Hill Club for an On Sale and Sunday Intoxicating Liquor License at 725 Sixth Avenue North. VOTE: Ayes 4, Nays 0.

VOTE: Ayes 4, Nays 0. PARK COMMISSION COMMENTS - Peter Welles, Representative None PLANNING COMMISSION COMMENTS • None PUBLIC COMMENTS Shelly Storch, 1245 Woodhill Avenue, stated she would like to comment on the lawsuit filed by Woodhill Country Club. Storch indicated their land was acquired by their developer from Woodhill Country Club who had purchased the land originally from Mr. Pillsbury. The sale was dependent on approval of the subdivision. Storch stated the development of the subdivision went well until last May when the Woodhill Country Club started construction of a private road to the country club due to improvements to Highway 15, which work was subsequently stopped by the City. Storch indicated their neighborhood has incurred approximately $10,000 in legal fees and additional engineering fees to contest the lawsuit filed by Woodhill Country Club. Storch noted that an affidavit has recently been produced by Woodhill Country Club from Mr. Pillsbury wherein he supports the country club's position, which Storch finds difficult to accept. Storch urged the City of Orono to allow the judicial process to be followed through and the facts to be evaluated by a judge. Storch indicated she received a phone message from the president of the Woodhill Country Club who indicated that the private roadway was intended to be open only on a temporary basis while the improvements to Highway 15 were being completed and would only be open to club members. Jerry Storch, 1245 Woodhill Avenue, stated it is their understanding that the City Council is considering allowing the road to Woodhill Country Club to be open on a permanent basis, which • in his opinion would be unsafe and unjust to the surrounding property owners. Storch noted the Page 2 • ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES FOR MARCH 22, 1999 Public Comments, continued) position of the country club has changed over time with the country club now pursuing permanent access. Storch indicated they were led to believe at the time of their purchase that they were purchasing a house on a cul -de -sac, which would not be the case should this road be approved. Storch urged the City Council to keep this road access closed. Mayor Jabbour commented that it was the City's position they would not act on this matter until the proper public process has been completed. The City has requested from the beginning that Woodhill Country Club go through the appropriate public process, and at this time the City has not made a determination as to the status of the roadway. The City is currently in the process of discovery and no decision will be made by the City until the appropriate public process has been completed. Jabbour stated it is the intent of the City Council to deal with this matter in good faith and this issue is open for discussion between the residents of Orono and Woodhill Country Club. Storch noted that they have not sought out publicity on this issue but have approached the City in a good faith effort in order to arrive at a just solution to this problem. Jabbour commented that it is not his desire to discuss this issue at length since the country club is not represented at tonight's meeting, but he would like the citizens to know that they do have the right to be heard on this issue. • ZONING ADMINISTRATOR'S REPORT *( #6) #2227 GARY TUCKER, 3466 IVY PLACE - VARIANCE - RESOLUTION NO. 4257 Sansevere moved, Flint seconded, to approve Application #2227, 3466 Ivy Place, and adopt RESOLUTION NO. 4257, a Resolution Granting an Amendment to a Variance to Permit a Change to the Roof Line for Property Located at 3466 Ivy Place.

( #7) #2451 LYLE AND GRETCHEN SHAW, 1780 SHADYWOOD ROAD - VARIANCES Moorse indicated the Applicant has requested that this item be removed from tonight's agenda and be set on the April 12th agenda. Weinberger stated a letter extending the time period through May has been sent to the Applicants. Peterson moved, Flint seconded, to table Application #2451, 1780 Shadywood Road, to the April 12 City Council meeting at the request of the Applicants. VOTE: Ayes 4, Nays 0. ( #8) #2458 ZONING CODE AMENDMENT - LRAC -1, ONE FAMILY LAKESHORE RESIDENTIAL Mayor Jabbour indicated the City Attorney has some concerns regarding this item and would like the Planning Commission to review this item again. City Attorney Barrett stated there are findings of fact that the Planning Commission should review . before arriving at a determination. Page 3 ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES FOR MARCH 22, 1999 • ( #2458 Zoning Code Amendment, continued) Mayor Jabbour commented that this item should be discussed jointly with the Planning Commission and the City Council, and suggested that this item be discussed at their Thursday morning workshop. Sansevere moved, Peterson seconded, to have the Planning Commission review the Zoning Code Amendment again due to new findings of fact that are now available. VOTE: Ayes 4, Nays 0. ( #9) #2465 ROBERT ERICKSON, 364 AND 372 WESTLAKE STREET - LOT LINE REARRANGEMENT Robert Erickson, Applicant, was present. Michael Cronin, Developer, was present. Weinberger stated the Applicants are proposing a subdivision of a lot line rearrangement that results in two substandard lots located at 364 and 372 Westlake Street. These parcels contain houses and a number of accessory buildings that would be removed prior to new home construction. The Applicants have agreed to deed a portion of their property to the City for the east half of a future cul -de -sac at the end of Westlake Street and have requested the City give credit to both properties for hardcover and structural coverage for the land deeded. Weinberger stated for the property located at 389 Westlake the access is off of an alley that is e platted and it is unlikely that access will ever be obtained for that parcel off of Westlake due to existing topography. The property located at 372 Westlake Street is comprised of 2.01 acres, which meets the minimum lot size required by the zoning code, and contains a homestead and two rental cabins which are all vacant at this time and are scheduled to be removed pending approval of this application. This property was assessed for one sewer unit, which has not yet been connected, and a SAC fee is required prior to connection. Staff would recommend sewer hookup for the newly proposed building site. Weinberger stated the property located at 364 Westlake Street is comprised of .65 acres and has a lot width at the street of 50 feet. The house currently located on the property is currently being used as a rental unit and is served with sanitary sewer. The Applicants intend to use the property as a rental unit until the property is sold. The Planning Commission has recommended that the structure be removed by January, 2000. The Applicants have proposed to remove, at their expense, the hardcover from a portion of Westlake Street south of the proposed cul -de -sac and to provide landscaping in that area. The road would be closed, not vacated, and the public would continue to have access to the lakeshore through the platted right -of -way. Weinberger stated the issues before the City Council tonight are whether or not the lot line rearrangement is acceptable; the impact the proposed cul -de -sac would have on the hardcover and Westlake Street; whether the location of the cul -de -sac is acceptable, and whether a portion of Westlake Street should be removed. Cronin requested that the City Council approve the application as submitted. Page 4 • • ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES FOR MARCH 22, 1999 ( #2465 Robert Erickson, continued) There were no public comments. It is the recommendation of City Staff and the Planning Commission that this application be approved based on the conditions contained in the March 17, 1999 Staff report. Mayor Jabbour commented that the City is not in a position at this time to vacate a portion of the public roadway to the shoreline and that it should be City policy that lake access lanes not be vacated. Peterson remarked she has a problem with approving two non - conforming lots. Gaffron stated that this application will improve the present situation in that area. Sansevere suggested that signage be erected to show that there is a public access there. Cronin stated he is aware of the need to keep that roadway open for public use and the Applicants are willing to work with City Staff on this issue. Cronin indicated that no work would be done on this area until construction is commenced. Flint inquired whether the two lots could be combined to create one conforming lot. Gaffron stated one of the reasons Staff supports this application is because the lot line rearrangement will not increase density in this area. • Flint stated he would be in agreement with this application if public access to the lake is provided. Sansevere inquired whether City Staff has explored any other options for these parcels. Weinberger stated Staff has looked at other options but feel that this proposal best meets both parties' goals, noting that it is easier to work with lots that are squared off more evenly. Erickson stated they have looked at other options but feel this arrangement works the best. Sansevere commented he would support this proposal. Sansevere moved, Flint seconded, to approve Application #2465, 364 and 372 Westlake Street, granting of a lot line rearrangement subject to the conditions outlined in the March 17, 1999 Staff report. VOTE: Ayes 4, Nays 0. ( #2) PRESENTATION BY SCOTT THOMAS - CANDIDATE FOR MEMBER OF MCWD BOARD OF MANAGERS Thomas addressed the City Council and requested their support of him as a candidate for the MCWD Board of Managers. Thomas stated he is a civil engineer with 20 years experience and has a good understanding of the watershed process. Thomas stated if elected to the MCWD Board of Managers his goals would be to, #1, identify the resources in the watershed district clearly and to list the expectations of the resources for the • watershed district; #2, shift the focus of the board away from the day -to- operations; and #3, predict the future needs of the watershed district by looking at a 20 year window. Page 5 ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES FOR MARCH 22, 1999 • (Presentation by Scott Thomas, continued) Thomas commented he would like to work closely with the City in achieving these goals. Mayor Jabbour remarked that the City has basically supported Mr. Reid in the past, noting that the City has not been requested to support anyone else for this board. Jabbour inquired how Thomas would go about improving the relationship between the participating cities and the watershed board. Thomas stated in his view the board should function as a resource to the cities and to allow the cities to have better input into how the watershed district could be improved and maintained. One of his goals would be to develop and provide each city with a resource plan that would enable the cities to actively maintain their watershed district to a certain standard. Thomas commented that in his opinion there currently is a deficiency in predicting what issues will come up in the future and a failure on the part of the board to request input from the cities on how they would like the watershed district to be maintained. Thomas stated he would like to make it more of a joint effort before the board and the cities by developing an overall comprehensive plan for the watershed district. Sansevere indicated he is in support of Thomas' ideas and goals. Flint stated in his view there is too much emphasis being placed on engineering solutions, which are not resolving the problems. Flint remarked that the City of Orono is taking steps to insure that hardcover is limited along the lakeshore and to keep the area as natural as possible. Thomas stated in his view the board needs to have common sense solutions to the problems with • the watershed district and to provide the communities with accurate and adequate information on how to best maintain the watershed district so they could enact ordinances to maintain and improve the water quality. Flint stated he is impressed with Mr. Thomas, but feels that the City should wait to see if there are any other applicants for this position before drafting a letter supporting a particular individual. Thomas indicated that his interview is on April 13, with the board voting on April 20th. Mayor Jabbour suggested this item be discussed at their Thursday morning work session and to authorize Staff to draft a letter supporting Mr. Thomas but to delay sending it until after the April 12th City Council meeting in the event that another candidate approaches the City requesting their support. CITY ADMINISTRATOR'S REPORT ( #15) HAMM SEWER REQUEST - 485 ORONO ORCHARD ROAD Bruce Palmer, on behalf of Edward Hamm, was present. Gaffron stated that the City has received an updated letter of request and a site evaluation report indicating that the potential drainfield site northeast of the house is usable; however, there are some minor downsides relating to use of the site. Number one, three large pine trees will have to be removed to make use of the primary site; and number two, a portion of a wooded newer - growth buffer area between the house and the road would have to be removed to make use of the • alternate site. Page 6 ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES FOR MARCH 22, 1999 • (Hamm Sewer Request, continued) Gaffron stated that this 18 acre parcel is also limited in that it contains only one viable septic site and is unlikely that it could support more than two or three normal sized homes in total. With City sewer, the site might be able to accommodate as many as seven or eight homes based on a two acre minimum lot size. Palmer expressed concerns that the well would be located approximately 55 to 63 feet from the septic site, existing trees and overgrowth would need to be removed, and the close location of the septic site to the residence. Palmer stated in his opinion hookup to City sewer is reasonable in this case due to those concems. Palmer noted that the Applicant is willing to assume the costs for sewer hookup and is willing to stipulate that future development will be limited. Gaffron commented that this residence is near to the City's existing sewer system. Mayor Jabbour stated if sewer hookup is approved, the City needs to demonstrate a hardship for this property. Jabbour commented the City needs to establish certain guidelines which should be considered before sewer hookup is approved for any application. _ Gaffron stated the findings of the City Council are incorporated into the resolution adopted by the Council. Flint noted this application satisfies three out of four criteria established by the Metro Council. Other factors cited by the City Council in support of this request included tree preservation, no costs • to be borne by the taxpayers, the site will be restricted to three residences for future development, the fact that the existing three residences would require six septic sites and only two are available, the likelihood of needing to incorporate pumps and complex piping to make septic work on the site, and the risk of failure due to poor soils. Sansevere moved, Flint seconded, to approve the sewer request by Edward Hamm, 485 Orono Orchard Road, based on the recommendation of City Staff, subject to sewer hookup being limited to the three existing dwellings with a deed covenant being executed by the Applicant stating that this parcel can be developed into no more than three lots, and all costs of hookup being borne by the Applicant. VOTE: Ayes 4, Nays 0. MAYOR/COUNCIL REPORT Mayor Jabbour stated at the joint meeting with the Long Lake City Council he suggested that a committee be formed with Long Lake to look at consolidation between Long Lake and Orono and to look at the long -term goals of the two communities. Jabbour suggested that Jim Murphy, Mark Engelbretson, Cliff Often, and Maybeth Christiansen be considered for that committee. Flint recommended that the City look at appointing representatives from different sections of the community to give the committee an overall view of the City. Sansevere stated that in his view a representative from the Navarre area should be appointed provided they are well - qualified for this committee, noting that Rick Meyers is from the Navarre area. Flint commented that the Casco Point area should also be represented. Flint inquired how many • representatives will need to be appointed to the committee. Page 7 ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES FOR MARCH 22, 1999 (Mayor /Council Report, continued) • Mayor Jabbour stated three representatives will be appointed. Peterson inquired whether an alternate should be appointed. Mayor Jabbour suggested that Engelbretson could be the alternate. Flint noted that the entire City will not be represented by only three appointees to this committee. Mayor Jabbour indicated that he will make sure the interests of the entire City are well represented. Peterson moved, Sansevere seconded, to form a joint committee with Long Lake and to direct City Staff to contact Jim Murphy, Maybeth Christiansen, and Cliff Otten to see if they would be willing to serve on this committee. VOTE: Ayes 4, Nays 0. Mayor Jabbour indicated he attended a meeting with the Mound School District who is faced with the problem of having their senior citizens displaced from the current senior center building, and that the City of Orono should take steps to gather more information concerning this issue. Jabbour stated that Minnetrista has offered the senior citizens a piece of land and bonding to have them relocate out in that area.
