APPROVAL OF MINUTES CONTINUED
Mayor Butler stated that she did not feel the following
sentence could be a true statement, stating that they
could not tie the hands of a future council when this is
a commercial use in a residential zone:
"As part of the conditional use permit would be the
guarantee that gas could be placed back on the
property irregardless of future zoning amendments."
Mayor Butler asked Acting City Administrator Gerhardson
if staff has made some committment that implies to the
property owner that the city can make a guarantee?
Acting City Administrator Gerhardson stated that to his
knowledge they have but, if Council wishes, staff could
discuss it with Mr. Olson and make the necessary
changes.
Mayor Butler stated that in light of the type of permit
permitting the operation, she does not feel the Council
can guarantee anything.

through the Met Council for a no interest loan and

raised.

PLANNING COMMISSION COMMENTS
Planning Commission member Paul Taylor- was present and
had no comments at this time.
PUBLIC COMMENTS
Dali & Terry Wiederhoft, 3551 Lyric Avenue, were
present. Dali Wiederhoft submitted a letter to Mayor
Butler regarding the condition of the structure located
at 3536 Lyric Ave. She stated that the letter was
written out of a sense of frustration and hope that the
City will take some action regarding this structure.
She reviewed the history of their conversations with
City staff in efforts to resolve this problem since
1983, to date nothing has been resolved.
Mayor Butler stated that to her knowledge, this matter
has been through the courts and believes that the owner
of the property has ignored the action taken by the
courts, and that staff is currently implementing the
hazardous building act which takes time. She also noted
that, contrary to Ms. Wiederhoft's letter, she has
driven by the property many times and is aware of its
condition; in addition, she is not leaving office due to
medical problems as indicated in the letter.
City Attorney Barrett stated that hazardous building
proceedings could take a year in the court system if
they are contested.
zoning Administrator Mabusth stated that criminal action
was taken against the owner because he had failed to
follow the directives of the temporary certificate of
occupancy requiring him to put a foundation in.

PUBLIC COMMENTS CONTINUED
Ms. Weiderhoft stated that in the meantime, the value of
her property has decreased steadily because of this
property. She stated that the City should inform the
neighbors of the status of the property.
ZONING ADMINISTRATOR'S REPORT:
#841 CRAIG WINTERS
888 PLENTYWOOD ROAD
A) PLAT ROAD NAME APPROVAL
B) FINAL SUBDIVISION /PRD
RESOLUTION #2029
Present representing Craig Winters was Dick Hassel who
will reside in the former Winter's residence on Pad 4.
Zoning Administrator Mabusth stated that applicant
proposes that the road name reflect the plat name of
Huntington Farm Road. As noted in her memo, Chief Kilbo
advises that the use of Huntington or Farm in the road
name will create problems for emergency vehicles because
of the numerous other road names similar to the proposed
name.
Based on Chief Kilbo's recommendation, Mayor Butler
would prefer applicant come up with another name.
Mr. Hassel stated that he did not feel there would be
a problem because of the different locations of similar
road names.
Councilmember Adams stated that he had a problem with
the word "Farm" in the name because of North Farm Road
and West Farm Road which already is confusing.
Councilmember Frahm stated that he understands the
issue, but feels the proposed name is a distinctly
different name and is not geographically near the other
similarly named roads.
Mayor Butler noted the problem involves one police
department responding to the emergency calls of the
similarnames roads which are in two different cities
i.e. Orono and Minnetonka Beach.
In light of Council's comments, Mr. Hassel suggested
the name of "Hunt Farm Road ".
It was moved by Councilmember Frahm, seconded by
Councilmember Callahan, to approve the road name of
"Hunt Farm Road ". Motion, Ayes 3, Nays 0, Abstention 1.
Councilmember Adams abstained.
4
MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO COUNCIL MEETING HELD AUGUST 11, 1986
#841 WINTERS CONTINUED
It was moved by Councilmember Frahm, seconded by Mayor
Butler, to adopt Resolution #2029 approving the Plat of
Huntington Farm amending the road name as Hunt Farm
Road. Motion, Ayes 4, Nays 0.
Councilmember Adams asked about the planning for the
completion of the road.
Mr. Hassel stated that they plan on putting in the base
this year and blacktop within the year, however they
will file a letter of credit in the amount of 1 -1/2
times for the extent of work not completed, per city
requirements.
Zoning Administrator Mabusth stated that the road base
must be installed and approved by the City before
building permits are issued and that it is common
practice for developer's to let the base settle for a
year before it is surfaced.
#1026 MIRE HILBELINR /JOHN VOGT /MRS. H. PETERMAN
160 OLD CRYSTAL BAY ROAD
RELIMINARY SUBDIVISION
Present for this matter were: Mike & Ann Hilbelink, John
& Maureen Vogt, Dave Will, and Bob Craig representing
Mrs. Peterman.
Mayor Butler explained that it is part of the city's
obligation as part of planning and approving a
subdivision that the City must consider how the
property will ultimately be divided and accessed. She
noted that City Attorney Blatz called attention to the
creation of the f lag lot of Lot 2, which does not
conform to the zoning code. She noted the consideration
to limit the amount of curb cuts.
Zoning Administrator Mabusth stated that in the past,
the city has approved flag lots in single lot splits in
lieu of an access easement serving a property, however
this technique has never been used to serve access for
one lot in 3+ lot subdivision where an alternate access
is available.
Mr. Vogt stated that the reason for the proposed f lag
lot is because he wants a north /south facing house which
requires access from the west in their plan.
Mr. Hilbelink stated that there are three separate
owners involved with different ideas and they do not
want to be tied in with each others plans by designating
a main access at this time. He also stated that he does
not agree with designating an access on his property
5
MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO COUNCIL MEETING HELD AUGUST 11, 1986
#1026 HILBELINE/VOGT /PETERMAN CONTINUED
which would totally benefit the development of the
parcel on the east.
City Engineer Cook reviewed the two designated access
points on Watertown Road and stated that they both met
the sight distance requirements, however, the access on
the west side is more acceptable because it provides
excellent visibility.
Thomas Gorman, 2640 Watertown Road, stated that he was
not in favor of any access going past his property on
the west or east.
Councilmember Frahm suggested taking an easement at this
time and decide where a road will go at a later time
when /if applicants subdivide. This would keep the
options open.
City Engineer Cook noted that the Council should
determine at what point in time the road must be put in
and who would be responsible for the cost of putting it
in.
Councilmember Callahan stated that the Planning
Commission was not entirely convinced that there should
be a north /south road. Planning Commission suggested
that the access to lots 2 & 3 should be on the western
side. His own feeling is that they should not have both
access on Old Crystal Bay Road and Watertown Road.
Mrs. Hilbelink stated that they were being treated as
big time developers, which they are not. She also
stated that it would depreciate the value of the
property by taking land for an easement.
Mr. Hilbeilink stated that he does not agree with having
to give up a 50' easement to benefit the development of
the property to the east.
Councilmember Frahm stated that he agreed with the
applicant and noted that at this point no property is
being land locked.
It was moved by Councilmember Frahm, seconded by Mayor
Butler, to approve the following:
1) Private easement over flag lotl which will be
realigned with Lot 2 so that f lag lot is removed.
Lot 1 grant access easement in favor of Lot 2.
2) Lot 3 may access off Watertown Road wherever
desired at this time, per staff approval.
3) A 25' corridor will be platted as an outlot on
the west side of Lots 2 & 3 from Watertown Road to
19
MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO COUNCIL MEETING HELD AUGUST 11, 1986
#1026 HILBELINR/VOGT /PETERMAN CONTINUED
the southeast corner of Lot 1.
4) Any future subdivision of these properties may
create the need for a private road as in item 3
which will be built to city specs for a private
road.
5) Finding that there is no need for a committment
at this time for a north /south road by the City.
Motion, Ayes 4, Nays 0.
#1042 THOMAS MAXWELL
3685 -3725 WATERTOWN ROAD
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT/VARIANCE
RESOLUTION
Thomas Maxwell and Jack Ebert were present for this
matter.
Mayor Butler explained the request to combine 2 parcels
of property totaling just under 10 acres in the 5 acre
zone, into one property with the second existing
residence to become a guest house. This combination
will allow the repair or replacement of a 6 -stall horse
barn which now straddles the dividing line between the
two lots and be able to accommodate the requested 6
horses.
Zoning Administrator Mabusth stated that applicant has
been advised of the conditions for a guest house use,
and also advised that he may not be able to re- subdivide
the property because it is less than 10 acres.
Mr. Maxwell stated that he understands these conditions
and is agreeable.
Councilmember Adams stated that if applicant is
agreeable, he felt is was a good way to solve the
problem.
Councilmember Frahm agreed with Councilmember Adams
feelings.
Councilmember Callahan stated that he felt it was very
bad planning just for the purpose of accommodating a few
more horses.
Mayor Butler stated that she agreed with Councilmember
Callahan and felt it may create more problems than it
would solve.
Zoning Administrator Mabusth stated that applicant filed
this type of application upon the direction of the
Planning Commission which resulted in a 3 -3 vote to
approve (Callahan voted nay).

MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO COUNCIL MEETING HELD AUGUST 11, 1986
#1042 MAXWELL CONTINUED
It was moved by Councilmember Frahm, seconded by
Councilmember Adams, to adopt the resolution as drafted
approving the variance and conditional use permit.
Motion, Ayes 2, Nays 2.
Mr. Ebert stated that they have complied with the
Planning Commission's directive as to the best way to
handle the problem and felt that they were being treated
unfairly by Councilmember (former Planning Commission
member) Callahan's double negative vote.
Due to the split vote, it was moved by Mayor Butler,
seconded by Councilmember Callahan, to forward the
application to the September 8th Council meeting for
consideration. Motion, Ayes 4, Nays 0.
#1044 VICKI RIZZOLO /JAMES ERICKSON
115 LUCE LINE RIDGE
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT
RESOLUTION #2030
Vicki Rizzolo and James Erickson were present for this
matter.
Mayor Butler explained the request for a mother -in -law
guest apartment located within the principal residence
now under construction. Planning Commission recommended
approval of the temporary guest house for this owner
only and to leave the doorway from the garage- basement
stairway as proposed for access.
Councilmember Callahan stated that he felt the guest
apartment /mother -in -law apartment use should be studied
by staff before approval of any more such applications
because there are no set standards.
Mayor Butler stated that she agreed with Councilmember
Callahan and staff's recommendation to develop separate
standards for guest apartments, but felt this
application should not be held up.
Zoning Administrator Mabusth explained the Planning
Commission's recommendation to allow the doorway from
the garage- basement stairway to remain (although this
is inconsistent with past Council approval on other
applications) because they felt that in this case, it
was a useless regulation to force the guest - dweller to
enter through the utility room and basement.
It was moved by Mayor Butler, seconded by Councilmember
Adams, to adopt Resolution #2030 as presented approving
the variance and conditional use permit. Motion, Ayes
4, Nays 0.

#1051 RONALD L. GLESNE
1475 CHERRY PLACE
VARIANCE
RESOLUTION #2032
Ronald L. Glesne was present for this matter.
Mayor Butler explained the request for a lot area /lot
width variance in order to declare a 0.64 acre lot
buildable in a 1 acre zone, lot width is 125' where 140'
is normally required. Sewer is available.
Staff recommends that the front yard be designated on
Cherry Place, a vacated public street, rather than Cty..
Rd. 151. Mr. Glesne stated that he and the proposed
buyers of the lot agree with staff's recommendation.
Councilmember Adams questioned the density issue of this
neighborhood.
Mr. Glesne stated that this was originally subdivided
and approved as 4 lots and there are 4 sewer stubs. He
questioned the sewer unit fee which staff recommends be
collected with the building permit because the city can
find no record of it being paid.
Council stated that the sewer unit would have to be paid
per staff recommendation unless applicant can prove that
it has previously been paid.
It was moved by Councilmember Frahm, seconded by Mayor
Butler, to adopt Resolution #2032 citing option Exhibit
A -2 for front yard on Cherry Place. Motion, Ayes 3,
Nays 1. Councilmember Adams voted nay.

VARIANCE
RESOLUTION #2033
John T. Spence was present for this matter.
Zoning Administrator Mabusth explained the request for
multiple variances to replace a shed and fence that were
damaged in an automobile accident within the past few
months. Applicant proposes to replace the entire fence
including the damaged portion of snow fence with a new
3 -1/2' cedar fence; and build a new shed on the existing
foundation. The existing foundation is approximately 6'
from the shared lot line of City owned property
requiring a side setback variance.
Mr. Spence stated that the proposed fence would be an
improvement to the existing snow fence. He stated that
the shed being built on,the existing foundation would be
less visible than if he were to rebuild it 10' from lot
line per original staff recommendation.
It was moved by Councilmember Adams, seconded by Mayor
Butler, to adopt Resolution #2033 approving the.
variances as presented. Motion, Ayes 4, Nays 0.

3265 CARMAN ROAD
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT AND
AFTER -THE -FACT VARIANCES
RESOLUTION #2034
Raymond Kosak was present for this matter.
Zoning Administrator Mabusth explained the after -the-
fact variance for new construction within the 75'
setback area, construction requiring a 3% hardcover
variance within the 75 -250' area, and hardcover variance
of up to 20% within the 0 -75' area. She reviewed the
Planning Commission's recommendation on a sketch. She
noted that the applicant requests the Council to re-
consider the Planning Commission's recommendation and
allow him to retain the deck area approximately 9.5 to
10 feet beyond the edge of the pool, rather than the 5'
recommended by Planning Commission. She reveiwed the
proposed construction of various levels of decks and
retaining wall.
Mr. Kosak explained the history and situation of his
property in relation to his plan.
Mayor Butler stated that she felt this property was
unique in which many levels of elevation are involved.
She stated that she was not sure that (per Planning
10
MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO COUNCIL MEETING HELD AUGUST 11, 1986
#1053 ROSAR CONTINUED
Commission recommendation) 5' beyond the edge of the
pool was enough space.
Councilmember Adams stated that he was concerned with
the construction within the 75' lakeshore setback.
Mayor Butler noted that decks G & E will have a
geotechnical fabric installed underneath.
Councilmember Frahm stated that he felt, in this
particular instance, Deck E would be a benefit within
the 75' lakeshore area and does not environmentally or
scenically have a detrimental impact on the area.
After considerable discussion, it was moved by
Councilmember Frahm, seconded by Mayor Butler to adopt
Resolution #2034 approving the following variance:
1. 0 -75' setback area of 315 s.f. of hardcover or
4.3 %.
2. 75 -250' setback area a total of 3,583 s.f. or
28 %.

#1058 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT -
METROPOLITAN URBAN SERVICE AREA (MUSA) LINE REALIGNMENT

attorney, Robert G. Mitchell Jr.
The application involves an amendment of the M.U.S.A.
boundaries originally defined and approved in 1979 -1980.
The Fulmers request to amend the Comprehensive Plan
seeking sewer service for their commercial
kennel /residential use within the now defined rural
service area. Also included in the proposed amendment
are areas that have already been sewered within the city
since the approval of the 79/80 Comprehensive Plan
without a formal amendment.
Mayor Butler stated that she did not have a problem with
any of the proposed amendment.
Councilmember Callahan stated that he was not in favor
in view of the Hwy. 12 study.
11
MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO COUNCIL MEETING HELD AUGUST 11, 1986
#1058 COMP. PLAN AMENDMENT CONTINUED
Mayor Butler stated that the Fulmer property is not in
controversy for re- zoning within the study. She stated
that the Fulmers have saved the facility and use. She
also noted that MWCC took a great deal of property from
the Fulmers when they constructed the interceptor which
has complicated their ability to construct any type of
sewer system.
Councilmember Frahm stated that they should not allow a
connection into the system at this point in time as it
would set a precedent.
Mayor Butler stated that she does not feel there is
another case like the Fulmer property.
Councilmember Adams stated that he shared Mayor Butler's
views in that this is a very unique situation. He asked
for the City Attorney's opinion.
City Attorney Barrett stated that he has some questions
regarding amending the comprehensive plan on case by
case applications, but has no firm position at this
time.
Zoning Administrator Mabusth stated that the Fulmers
property fails to meet all standards for a septic system
and connection to sewer is the most economical answer
and that there is no available land.
It was moved by Mayor Butler, seconded by Councilmember
Adams, to direct staff to bring back a resolution
incorporating the Comprehensive Plan amendment as
outlined in staff memo dated July 14, 1986. Motion,
Ayes 2, Nays 2. Councilmembers Frahm and Callahan voted
nay.
Councilmember Callahan stated that he would be open to
more consideration in this matter.
Councilmember Adams suggested expediting the Fulmer
property out of the corridor study.
Because of the tie vote, this application will be
brought back to the full Council for consideration.

It was moved by Councilmember Frahm, seconded by Mayor
Butler, to authorize the sealcoating of additional roads
not to exceed the budgeted amount. Motion, Ayes 4, Nays
0.
NAVARRE INTERCEPTOR REPORT
City Engineer Cook reviewed the the four alternatives
for improvements from the Metropolitan Waste Control
Commission. MWCC has selected Alternate #3 as the
preferred construction alignment.
Public Works Coordinator Gerhardson and City Engineer
Cook recommend Alternate #3A as the preferred
construction alignment because it eliminates a main lift
station #10 which can be very costly in repairs in the
long term.
It was moved by Councilmember Frahm, seconded by
Councilmember Callahan, to approve Alternate #3A as
recommended by staff, provided the City does not have to
contribute payment for the improvement. If the City has
to pay in the improvement, this matter will be brought
back to the Council for review. Motion, Ayes 4, Nays 0.

CITY ADMINISTRATOR'S REPORT:
HENNEPIN COUNTY RECYCLING ORDINANCE
Public Works Coordinator Gerhardson noted the highlights
of a proposed recycling ordinance to be adopted by
Hennepin County.
VANEECRHOUT WATER
Mr. VanEeckhout was present for this matter. He
requests that the City allow him to connect the home
under construction at 650 North Brown Road to the Long
Lake municipal water system. He was previously granted
approval to permit utilization of sewer from Long Lake.
Mayor Butler stated, per staff's memo, staff recommends
denial because they find no demonstratable hardship and
is merely a convenience and cost saving to the developer
and a well is a feasible alternative for this site. The
basis for this recommendation is that there may be
several other properties equally situated that abut the
Long Lake water system who may also desire a hookup and
such hookups were not in the contemplation of the rural
area currently designated in the comp plan unless there
is a rezoning and /or comp plan amendment.
Mr. VanEeckhout stated that this is the customers
preference. He stated that he did not feel a request
for water involved the same kind of argumentsas the
request for sewer because it does not effect zoning.
Mayor Butler stated they she felt it would set a
precedent in others requesting for water hook -up.
It was noted that when Mr. VanEeckhout made the request
for sewer hookup, the City of Long Lake approve both a
sewer and water hookup at that time.
