#990 WARD FERRELL continued
Ward Ferrell and his attorney, Jerry Rice, were present
for this matter. Mr. Rice stated that he is familiar
with the area in question because he lives in the area
and also holds a contract for deed on property across
the road from applciant's. He stated that he has
researched the matter and feels there is a substantial
issue of equitable estoppel involved and that this is a
special situation based on an old promise by a Mayor.
He stated that Mr. Ferrell is prepared to proceed with a
legal suit if necessary.
Councilmember Frahm asked applicant if he wanted the
Council to act on the request for three lots, not
considering any alternatives.
Mr. Ferrell stated that was correct. Mr. Rice stated
that they would be agreeable to Council tabling the
request in order for Council to think about it.
City Attorney Blatz wanted the record clarified
regarding the apparent conversation between Mr. Ferrell
and Planning Commission member VanNest, she noted that
the record was researched and found no indication that
word was given to Mr. Ferrell that he could plat his
property accordingly and the code would not apply to
,him. She also noted that there is case law whereas the
court ruled that regardless of indications made by a
past council, the current council must uphold the
ordinances.
Mr. Rice clarified that he was referring to the word
given by Mayor Ross when Mr. Ferrell platted his
property.
Acting Mayor Adams stated that he was always told that
one council can not bind future councils.
It was moved by Councilmember Frahm, seconded by
Councilmember Grabek, to approve the denial resolution
as drafted to be adopted June 9, 1986.
At this point, Mr. Ferrell and his attorney were given
the opportunity to request tabling this matter to
reconsider the request for 2 additional houses.
Mr. Rice stated that he would like the matter tabled in
order for him to consult with his client, Mr. Ferrell.
City Attorney Blatz stated that she would recommend
tabling the matter if the Council's intent is to allow
applicant to modify his application for 1 additional
house to be constructed on his property.

1900 SHORELINE DRIVE
ZONING AMENDMENT
by Councilmember Frahm, seconded by
Hammerel, to adopt Resolution #2005
Plat of Lydiard Hills. Motion, Ayes 4,
City Administrator Bernhardson explained the proposed
Zoning Amendment to create a Bed & Breakfast (B &B)
conditional use permit within a residential district
issues being 1)concept of B &B in the community 2) and
the specifics of B &B. He noted that Morris & Jackie
Nelson are listed as the zoning amendment applicants,
however, it is a zoning amendment general and generic to
the community and not specifically to their property and
application. Depending on the outcome of this Council
meeting, they may be taking their conditional use permit
application before the Planning Commission.
At this time, Councilmember Frahm removed himself from
the Council because he has been involved with business
talks with Morris Nelson. He noted that he has voiced
his feelings regarding B &B use in previous discussions.
Councilmember Grabek stated that he felt a B &B was not.,
an appropriate use in a residential community and does
not benefit the community. He was concerned with how the
city would control and limit B &B's. He noted that-if
this use were approved, he felt that the proprietors
should be experienced in this area and their financial
background should be reviewed. He noted that this was
his own personal unsolicited opinion.

#1017 MORRIS & JACKIE NELSON continued
Acting Mayor Adams stated that he felt the required
conditional use permit would control the B &B. He noted
that he felt reluctant to vote on a zoning amendment
with only three members of the Council.
City Attorney Blatz stated that any ordinance must be
enacted by a majority vote of the entire Council, which
would be three members i.e. three positive votes in
order to pass.
Councilmember Hammerel stated that he felt Orono is the
type of place for a B &B and adds charm to the
neighborhood.
Acting Mayor Adams stated that there should be
alternative uses for large homes in residential areas.
He stated that he would like Mayor Butler's input and
would like to do more research himself.
Pauline Bouchard, 1860 Shoreline Dr., presented 89
signatures of Orono residents stating their opposition'
to the proposed B &B establishments in residential areas.
She stated that she personally objected to having a B&B
next door and stated that in her opinion it would have
to run seven days a week (rather than the proposed
weekends only) in order, to support the business which
would make it just like a motel.
Acting Mayor Adams asked if they would support a B &B use
if certain conditions were imposed.
Pauline Bouchard stated "No, it was too open - ended"
It was moved by Acting Mayor Adams, seconded by
Councilmember Hammerel, to table this matter at this
time. (Staff to set appropriate date) Motion, Ayes 3,

Bonine, Director of Natural Resources David Weaver, Bob
Wicklund and Deb Bartels, and Don King.

#1020 SUB. HENN. REG. PARR DISTRICT continued

thank and recognize the four Orono residents who served
on the Noerenberg Park Advisory Committee for their
efforts and time put into this plan. They are: J. Diann
Goetten, Barb Peterson, JoEllen Hurr, and George Rector.
Marty Jessen and Deb Bartels made their presentation of
the proposed plan. Mr. Jessen noted that the only area
in which there is a discrepancy from the criteria set
forth in the Orono City code is related to the hardcover
within the 0 -75' area. They are proposing an additional
slight increase of 0.3% of hardcover which would be for
widening the existing brick path. He stated that
according to the current attendance figures (which they
consider the park is very under utilized at this time),
they predict the annual attendance in 1990 would be
approximately 19,000, this increase is partially based
on the proposed extended season. He noted that it was
not their intent to attract large crowds but they would
like to provide high quality services and facilities.
Mr. Jessen stated that the plan consists of three
phases of development:
1) Memorial arbor, landscape plantings, site
utilities, water distribution, and parking lot.
2) Visitor center, pathways, garden trellis and
plantings.
3) Water feature, wall garden at entrance, fountain
sculpture and other architectural features.
He stated that funding for the improvements beyond phase
1 are currently not available and depend on funding of
contributions etc. They would like approval on the
entire plan at this time.
Public Comments
Mr. & Mrs. George Grooms, 3065 North Shore Drive - They
understood that this plan was turned down by the
Planning Commission and wondered why it was still under
consideration. Mr. Grooms stated that he believed Lora
Hoppe would not have approved of the plan and it was not
her intent, her intent was to have a few ladies visiting
on occasion and a plan of this size is not necessary for
that intent. r
Pat & Jim Mitchell, 2685 North Shore Drive - She stated
that there was no need for a building when the park is
i used only 3 months of the year, and no need for the
blacktop parking lot. Jim Mitchell noted that the will
states that the park "not present problems for
neighbors ". In addition, he noted that the Planning
Commission denied the plan due to the proposed
! intensification of use.

#1020 SUB. HENN. REG. PARK DISTRICT continued
Diann Goetten - She stated that the building is mainly
for the maintenance personnel and storage of smaller
equipment and also for restroom facilities. She also
noted that Ray Forde, who has a lifetime estate, is in
total support of the plan. She noted that the paved
parking lot is necessary due to the maintenance involved
in repairing the ruts created during rainy weather.
.
Mary Ann Kienzler, 1200 Old Crystal Bay Rd. - She stated
that she was in support of the plan and thought that it
was a wonderful place for children to learn.
Jack & Kathy Swenson, 3020 North Shore Drive - Jack
Swenson stated that he agreed with the Planning
Commission's findings regarding the intensification of
use and that the park is beautiful as is and saw no need
to spend 1.2 million to change. Kathy Swenson stated
that currently there is a big problem with boats docking
and there is no attempt to control.
Marty Jessen agreed that there was a problem with boats
and that they intend to utilize the park rangers more to
control.
JoEllen Hurr, LMCD representative on the Noerenberg Park
Committee - She stated that she felt the plan presented
was a good one and is within the intent of the Hoppe
will. She stated that the Hennepin Park District is a
good neighbor and that this is not a zoning issue except
for the 0.3% hardcover issue. '
Tim Traff, 2683 North Shore Drive - He stated that he
resented the presentation given, is opposed to the plan
and it should be left as is.
The question was brought up regarding use of tax money
for the park. Bob Wicklund stated that tax money has
not officially been eliminated, but based on the Hoppe
endowment for the park, there is no need or intent to
use tax money for this project.
Patricia Roberts, 2683 North Shore Drive - She stated
that she objected to the proposed usage and the 25,000
annual visitor (mid 19901s) prediction.
A resident questioned why the Park District was
advertising a garden party in which music and
refreshments would be provided when the plan has not
been given approval yet and when they are not allowed to
serve food at the park.

MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO COUNCIL MEETING HELD JUNE 9, 1986
#1020 SUB. HENN. REG. PARR DISTRICT continued
Mr. Jessen stated that it was merely the annual garden
party, the food consisted of tea and cookies, the music
is usually a harpist etc. The purpose of the garden
party was to basically recreate the atmosphere of a tea
party that was held when the Noerenbergs lived there.
Public comments closed.
Councilmember Hammerel stated that he has lived in this
area for 34 years and felt that the park was underused
and that the residents just do not want a park for the
publics' use. He noted that the current attendance is
9,000 visitors annually and nobody even notices them.
He agreed that there was a problem with boaters but does
not know what they can do about it other than having a
full time officer standing guard.,
Councilmember Grabek stated that he objected to the
additional parking on north side which could potentially
lead to future expansion of the north side. He stated
that he felt the park was currently underused however,
there should be limitations on the use such as no
overflow parking. He noted that the park district does
a good job of maintaining their parks.
Acting Mayor Adams stated that he was opposed to the 50
blacktop parking spaces and felt they should start with
half that amount of spaces and review the need at a
later date, such as when the visitor center is built.
Mr. Jessen stated that they felt the need for 50 spaces
was already there but they could consider other
alternatives to the blacktop such as grass crete etc.
Councilmember Frahm stated that the proposed overflow
parking on the north side would require grading and is
not needed. He also noted that there was an obvious
need for equipment storage. In addition, he does not
feel that anything should be sold i.e brochures, books,
information etc. He also stated that it was Lora
Hoppe's intent to protect the neighbors but it was also
her intent to have the general public come and see the
gardens.
Councilmember Grabek stated that he agreed with
eliminating sales of any kind. Referring to the -garden
party, he stated that the Park District has always acted
responsibly on the few small functions given. .

#1020 SUB. HENN. REG. PARK DISTRICT continued
City Administrator Bernhardson noted that the only thing
required was the hardcover variance and that, apart from
the regrading, the conditional use request is more
voluntary on the Park District's part, and any
subsequent changes or plans would actually be a
voluntary review on their part.
It was moved by Acting Mayor Adams, seconded by
Councilmember Grabek, to approve the plan as presented
with the following stipulations and limitations:
1. Limit parking on the north side to 10 -12 gravel
spaces (as shown) with no additional site grading
for expanded parking.
2. Limitation of initial parking on the south side
to 26 spaces and the Park District consider
alternatives to blacktop for that parking.
3. No sales of goods or services.
4. Proposed building to remain at same size and
exterior as presented when built.
5. Parking needs be reviewed at the time the
building is built, but not to exceed the total
of 50 spaces as originally proposed.

City Administrator Bernhardson explained the request for
a 2 -1/2' height variance for a 6' high section of brick
wall that is adjacent to Bracketts Point Road and Cty.
Rd. 15.
Damon Farber stated that the reason for the 6' wall is
mainly for aesthetic purposes as well as health and
safety. He stated that the corner is busy, dangerous,
and noisy. He noted that their preference is to be
consistant i.e. entire wall 3 -1/2' or entire wall 6' in
height.
Steve Pflaum pointed out the areas in which the
variance was needed noting that in some area they can
construct the 6' wall without a variance. He noted that
traffic can be heard in the house with windows closed as
well be seen. In addition, vehicle headlights shine
directly in the house at night. He stated that
10

evergreen plantings would help but would create other
problems. It was also noted that none of the neighbors
object to the wall.
Acting Mayor Adams stated that he felt the proposed wall
was very attractive however, the Council must consider
all other wall requests that may follow this request if
it were approved. He stated that he would like to find
a solution within the ordinance and that a wall is not
the only solution to the headlight problem.
Planning Commission member Goetten stated that she voted
in favor of the wall because because of the unique
situation and headlight problem.

Re: Application #1022
Charles A.'Schall
This letter is to request that you table your action on the above
matter until your next meeting.
Betty Rudd contacted me on Friday, June 6, 1986 to ask me to
investigate the situation and advise her regarding her legal
rights. She did so believing that final action would be on June
16, 1986.
I would appreciate this short extension of time so that I can do
the work necessary to adequately represent the interests of my
client.
Very trul yours, '.
