ROLL CALL
The Orono Planning Commission met on the above-mentioned date with the following members present:
Chair John Thiesse, Commissioners Bruce Lemke, Denise Leskinen, Chad Olson, and Loren Schoenzeit.
Representing Staff were Community Development Director Jeremy Barnhart, Senior Planner Michael
Gaffron, City Planner Melanie Curtis, and Recorder Jackie Young. Council Members Lizz Levang and
Dennis Walsh were present.
Chair Thiesse opened the meeting at 6:30 p.m., followed by the Pledge of Allegiance.
NEW BUSINESS
1. APPROVAL OF PLANNING COMNIISSION MEETING MINUTES OF MAY 16,2016
Leskinen moved,Schoenzeit seconded,to approve the minutes of the Orono Planning Commission
meeting of May 18,2016,as submitted. VOTE: Ayes 5,Nays 0.
2. #15-3763A CHRISTOPHER W. BOLLIS,200-350 STUBBS BAY ROAD NORTH,
REVISED PRELIMINARY PLAT,6:32 P.M.–6:56 P.M.
Christopher Bollis, Applicant, was present.
Gaffron stated this is a proposed revision of the seven lot subdivision layout that received preliminary plat
approval in September of 2015. The revision is to reduce the number of lots from seven to five. Access
to the three southerly lots will be via a private shared driveway extending north from Kintyre Lane. The
two northerly lots will access from a shared driveway extending from the existing driveway corridor
serving 350 Stubbs Bay Road North. All lots will be served by individual onsite sewage treatment
systems and private wells as was originally proposed in September of 2015.
Gaffron displayed the current layout of the plat on the overhead. Each of the lots was just over two acres
of dry buildable and had acceptable house sites. The proposal is to reduce the number of lots down to
five,with the access being relocated. Rather than having an extension of Kintyre Lane,the applicants are
proposing an outlot that would have a shared driveway that would serve Lots l, 2, and 5. Also being
proposed is a shared driveway outlot that would serve the existing house at 350 Stubbs�ay Road North
as well as a new house on Lot 4.
Gaffron stated one of the advantages with this layout is that the lots are now larger,which will likely
result in more septic sites being available. For instance,Lot 1 now has four possible septic sites, Lot 2
has four, and the septic system for Lot 3 is now located completely within its property lines. Lots 4 and
5 are just barely two acres of dry buildable.
The applicant is attempting to preserve the grouping of trees at the north end of Kintyre Lane. There is an
existing house that will be removed and the applicants would like to construct a shared driveway that will
skirt the trees and preserve as many of them as possible.
Gaffron depicted the grove of trees on the overhead. Rather than extending the existing private roads,the
applicant's proposal would simply extend shared driveways to serve proposed homes and would not
— — Page 1

6:30 dclock p.m.
provide cul-de-sacs. Gaffron stated per City Code, only one back lot is allowed to be served, but in this
situation three lots would be served by the driveway. The Code requires 150 percent of the lot area and
150 percent of the required setbacks for this zoning district if a back lot is created. In Staffls opinion,the
applicant's proposal is inconsistent with the letter and intent of the subdivision code.
Gaffron stated in the 2-acre and 5-acre zones,the City only rarely deviates from the code provisions
requiring a cul-de-sac when serving three ar more homes. Where such deviations have occurred,
identification of unique site factors have been critical in order to support the granting of variances.
The applicant's proposed shared driveways appear to be only 12 to 15 feet in width.The driveway serving
Lots 2 and 5 would be in excess of 400 feet in length. As proposed,these driveways would not be
sufficient to provide suitable access for emergency and service vehicles. The applicant should be asked to
provide a basis for the narrow shared driveways. In Staff's opinion, outside of the grove of trees,there
are no other unique factors about this site that justify the narrow roadway and elimination of cul-de-sacs.
Staff would recommend that the road design include cul-de-sacs.
Gaffron stated the other items that are listed in Staffls memo pretty much follow the conditions that were
established with preliminary plat approval last fall.
The Planning Commission should discuss the following issues:
1. The proposed lot configuration does not meet minimum code requirements for access because it
does not include private roads and cul-de-sacs meeting City standards. Does the Planning
Commission find any justification for variances to allow the layout as proposed?
2. The proposed configuration results in the creation of back lots, some of which do not meet
minimum back lot code standards with regard to lot area.
3. The proposed configuration creates back lots which require 150 percent of the RR-1B setback
standards. The result is that for some lots the proposed house locations will not meet those
setback requirements.
Staff does not support the proposed configuration and recommends that the applicant be advised to
consider revising the plan to provide for conforming roads and cul-de-sacs. Staff would further
recommend that the application be tabled to allow the applicant to address the issues. Another option
would be to forward this application to the City Council to determine whether there is any Council
support for the proposed configuration.
Thiesse asked ifthe Applicant is aware of Staffls recommendation.
Gaffron indicated the applicant has had Staff's report since last Friday and likely has some comments on
his proposal.
Schoenzeit stated the impact on Kintyre Lane is virlually identical under either proposal.
Gaffron stated the impact on Kintyre Lane is purely the number of lots that will access off of Kintyre
Lane.

ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING
Monday,June 20,2016
6:30 o'clock p.m.
Schoenzeit noted that existing Kintyre Lane would not change in dimension.
Lemke asked how long the cul-de-sae would be under staff's proposed sketch..
Gaffron indicated the southerly cul-de-sac would extend Kintyre Lane over the 1000-foot maximum but
not nearly the 1500-foot length approved previously.
Lemke asked if the applicant could use the same layout they had proposed previously with the one cul-de-
sac and eliminate the access off of Stubbs Bay.
Gaffron stated they could by extending the road up to the point where all five lots abut the cul-de-sac. As
a result, none of those lots would be considered as back lots but it would require some shifting of lot
lines.
Leskinen asked if it would still be possible to realize the objective of the applicant to bypass the trees by
doing that.
Gaffron stated revising the location could result in eliminating some of the trees.
Thiesse noted the majority of the trees are 20-year-old evergreens. Thiesse asked what the intent of the
back lot ordinance is.
Gaffron stated when a back lot is created, the normal situation is that there is a front lot that abuts the one
lot behind it. If there is a long, narrow piece of property that does not lend itself to being split side by
side but does lend itself to being split front to back, rather than create a flag lot, a 30-foot outlot is created
that goes up the side,which ends at the back lot. The issue with back lots is the ability for emergency
vehicles to access that lot. The impact on the back lot would be greater setback requirements. The front
lot is normally required to access from the outlot.
Thiesse asked if the applicant could include the dry buildable out of Outlot A.
Gaffron indicated the applicant could move some lot lines around.
Schoenzeit asked why the applicant could not reverse the cul-de-sac and then not go through the tree
stand, but come in from Stubbs Bay Road.
Gaffron stated there is no obvious reason why it could not come in off of Stubbs Bay Road and that is
something the applicant would need to address.
Christopher Bollis, 350 Stubbs Bay Road, stated their intent with this plan was to come up with
something that is more environmentally friendly by not crossing the wetlands and preserving the trees and
open space. Bollis noted the changes do not necessarily meet the Conservation Design Code but that they
were attempting to save the trees. If the cul-de-sac is done with a 50-foot corridor,most of the trees will
be gone and there will be a wetland that would need to be mitigated.
Schoenzeit stated the applicant will need to do it with a standard road width and not with outlots.

6:30 o'clock p.m.
Bollis stated it is their intent to go with the plan that has already been approved if this plan is not
approved. Bollis indicated they are attempting to be neighborly and environmentally friendly with the
proposed revisions.
Chair Thiesse opened the public hearing at 6:50 p.m.
Cheryl Miller, 195 Kintyre Lane, stated she is here tonight to express her support for the plan being
proposed tonight.
Tom Fleming, 300 Stubbs Bay Road, stated his house is screened by trees from the northerly outlot
driveway corridor trees and that his concern is going from a 12-foot driveway to a 24-foot road may
negatively impact the tree buffer.
Chair Thiesse closed the public hearing at 6:53 p.m.
Leskinen stated historically the City does not create substandard lots or back lots,which will result in the
need for variances. Leskinen stated in her view it will set a dangerous precedent.
Schoenzeit stated it seems odd on the surface that fewer lots is less compliant but that it is being done at
the cost of the substandard roads,which is really the problem with the new proposal. Schoenzeit noted
this is a clean sheet and that there is no reason to approve a large number of substandard lots. Schoenzeit
stated the original 7-lot plan is not broken and that they don't need to fix it.
Lemke stated he understands the desire to preserve more trees but that it will create more problems.
Olson indicated he is in agreement with what has been said.
Gaffron stated the Planning Commission can either table the application or vote on it and send it to
Council. If the Planning Commission is going to recommend denial, Gaffron suggested the applicant be
asked if he would like to redesign it or whether he would like to proceed forward to the City Council.
Gaffron noted regardless of the action tonight,the original approval is still valid, and if this application is
ultimately approved by Council, it would be prudent for the City to negate the original approval.
Thiesse asked Bollis whether he would like to table or move on to council.
Bollis indicated he would prefer to move on to Council..
Lemke moved, Schoenzeit seconded,to recommend denial of Application No. 15-3763A,
Christopher Bollis,200-350 Stubbs Bay Road North. VOTE: Ayes 5,Nays 0.
3. #16-3833 JOHN BOWLSBY, 1025 SPRING HILL ROAD,VARIANCES,6:56 P.M.—
7:02 P.M.
John Bowlsby, Applicant,was present.
Curtis stated the property owners are seeking variances in order to construct an in-ground pool within the
average lakeshore setback and within the required 100-foot setback from Long Lake. The average
— — -- Page 4
MINUTES OF THE
' ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING
Monday,June 20,2016
6:30 d clock p.m.
lakeshore setback line runs pretty much halfway through the center of the house and portions of the home
are within the 100-foot structural setback. Neighboring homes are over 400 feet away and are separated
from the applicants' home by existing vegetation and topographic differences. The proposed in-ground
pool will have minimal visual impact from the lake and to adjacent homes.
Staff provided an analysis of the practical difficulties within the Staff report. If the Planning Commission
wishes,the individual criteria can be discussed tonight.
Curtis noted the proposed hardcover listed in the staff report reflects the corrected hardcover on the
property, including the previous approvals for the additions under construction. No other hardcover is
being requested.
Staff finds that the location of the existing home, which currently encroaches into the 100-foot setback,
makes it difficult to make modifications or additions to and around the home. The property is large and
wide, with a 23-foot elevation difference between the lake level and the home. The applicant's proposal
to construct an in-ground pool on the west side of the home where previously an octagonal portion of the
home existed will be 25 feet lakeward of the average lakeshore setback and nine feet into the 100-foot
setback. Due to the elevation change from the lake level to the home level,the in-ground pool will not be
visually apparent when viewed from the lake. It also does not appear that the adjacent property owners
will be adversely impacted by the pool.
Staff finds there are special conditions relating to the existing home and property which support granting
the requested lake setback and average lakeshore setback variances for the pool. Staff recommends
approval of the variances for the pool.
The Planning Commission had no questions for Staff.
Bowlsby stated he would be available to answer any questions the Planning Commission may have.
Chair Thiesse opened the public hearing at 6:59 p.m.
There were no public comments regarding this application.
Chair Thiesse closed the public hearing at 6:59 pm.
Leskinen stated her understanding is that the pool is only a couple of feet into the setback but that she is
not sure whether it can be pulled back any further. Leskinen stated she has no issues with the variance to
the average lakeshore setback since it goes through the middle of the home.
Thiesse asked how long the pool is.
Bowlsby indicated it is 42 feet in length.
Lemke stated the application appears to be pretty straight forward.
Thiesse asked whether the septic system requires capacity for a pool.

Curtis stated it is based upon the number of bedrooms in the home and that she is not sure where the new
septic system will be located. Curtis indicated the properiy has ample space to locate the septic system.
Thiesse asked how they will drain the pool.
Bowlsby stated the water will be left in the pool.
Leskinen moved,Olson seconded,to recommend approval of Application No. 16-3833,John
Bowlsby, 1026 Spring Hill Road,granting of an average lakeshore setback variance and a
structural setback variance from the ordinary high water level. VOTE: Ayes 5,Nays 0.
4. #16-3834 NED AND MICHELLE DAU,220 NORTHGATE ROAD,VARIANCES,LOT
LINE REARRANGEMENT,EASEMENT VACATION, 7:02 P.M.—7:11 P.M.
Ned Dau,Applicant, was present.
Gaffron stated the applicants are proposing a lot line rearrangement for Lot 1, Block 7,Northgate Two,
and part of Outlot C,Northgate Two. Northgate Two was platted as a Planned Residential Development
in 1979. As a result, the standards far setbacks, lot sizes, etc., are established within the plat resolution.
The original plat created seven single-family building pads,plus two recreation outlots, a road outlot,and
a commons open-space outlot. The building pads were established with the intent that new homes could
be constructed within the confines of each pad without any setback or lot coverage limitations.
The applicants would like to swap approximately 120 square feet of their property for an identically-sized
portion of the Northgate Two commons outlot in order to allow construction of an addition to the existing
residence behind the garage. The addition also requires a variance for structural lot coverage. The
applicants are further requesting the vacation of a portion of an existing open space easement granted to
the City over Outlot C.
The covenants for Northgate Two established an open space easement over the entirety of Outlot C in
favor of the City of Orono. The easement prohibits construction of"signs, billboards, accessory
buildings, hardcover or roads of any nature whatsoever, or any other structure or improvements
inconsistent with the natural state of the Affected Lands." In order to avoid future issues for the property
Owners,this lot line rearrangement process includes the vacation and rededication of the open space
easement,vacating it from the portions of Outlot C being acquired by the applicants and adding to it the
portion of Lot 1, Block 7.
This lot line rearrangement does not result in new lots and therefore no park fees and no stormwater trunk
fees will be due. Further,the homeowners association has been advised of the proposal and no objections
have been expressed.
Staff recommends approval of the lot line rearrangement, lot coverage variance and easement vacation
subject to the applicants granting a new open space easement over the portion of Lot 1, Block 7,being
transferred to the homeowners association under the identical provisions of the existing easement.

In addition, new proposed legal descriptions will be required for each property. As part of this approval,
the applicants will be required to file new deeds based on the new legal descriptions. Staff will work with
the property owners and the City Attorney to ensure that the necessary documents are prepared and filed.
Schoenzeit asked how this is different from the situation at Lakeview.
Gaffron stated the lots in Lakeview are bigger,with the easement area encompassing approximately half
of each individual lot. In that situation,the owners are allowed to have a septic system but virtually
nothing else within that easement area. 'Gaffron stated this situation is different since the easement area is
essentially as large as the house.
Schoenzeit stated it makes perfect sense in this case since there is plenty of land, but that there is the
potential that a person in Lakeville could do a build and give as well.
Thiesse noted this is only the building footprint and not a wetland.
Leskinen asked if Lakeville was a PRD.
Gaffron indicated it originally was not but then became a PRD. Gaffron stated at Lakeville they are still
required to meet the setbacks of the RR-1B district.
Leskinen stated she sees this as a different circumstance in that Lakeville is a PRD and this lot is located
in a 1-acre zone but they do not own one acre of land. Leskinen stated the PRD was set up to preserve the
open space and that she sees it as a practical difficulty for the owner since they only have the dimensions
of their home.
Ned Dau stated he can answer any questions the Planning Commission may have.
Chair Thiesse opened the public hearing at 7:10 p.m.
There were no public comments regarding this application.

Michael Gallus,Applicant,was present.
Curtis stated the applicant is making changes to the roof on the home to improve the ventilation. In the
process,they plan to modify the roofline to enhance the aesthetics. The eaves will be shortened by
approximately nine inches from existing and the overhangs on the gables will be extended by 18 inches.
The extension of the eaves into required yards up to two feet is allowed provided the building meets the
— Page 7

required setback. However, because the majority of this home is lakeward of the 75-foot and average
lakeshore setbacks, variances are required.
Curtis noted the home is located approximately 23 feet from the OHWI,and not 12 feet as stated in
Staff's report. No other variances are being requested with this application.
Due to the property's location at the point of Fagerness Point Road,the home is almost entirely within the
average lakeshore setback and well within the 75-foot setback from the lake on all sides. The corner
portion of the northeast house extends up to seven inches into the side yard. The applicant's plan to
expand the overhangs on the gable ends by 18 inches requires variances because of the nonconforming
location of the existing home. The survey and building elevation e�ibits have been color coded to
illustrate where the expanded overhangs will be located.
Staff provided an analysis of the practical difficulties within the Staff report. If the Planning Commission
wishes,the individual criteria can be discussed tonight.
Staff recommends approval of the variances.
The Planning Commission had no questions for Staff.
Michael Gallus,Applicant, stated he would be available to answer any questions.

Rick Anderson and David Lind,Applicants,were present.
Gaffron stated the applicants are requesting approval of a conditional use permit in order to install a full
bathroom, including shower or tub,within the existing accessory barn structure on the property. City
Code Section 78-1437(3)b allows for the installation of plumbing fixtures, including a bathtub or shower
in an accessory building subject to conditions and a restrictive covenant. Due to the lack of suitable drain

field sites meeting all setback requirements,the applicants are also proposing to use a holding tank for
sewage disposaL
This site is a very unique situation in the 2-acre rural residential district. Prior to construction of the
Highway 12 bypass, a single-family residence existed north of the barn. In order to construct the CR6
approach to the Wayzata Boulevard interchange, the portion of property containing the house was
acquired by MnDOT and the house was removed. The barn remained on a lot of 2.4 gross acres, being
considered as a nonconforming accessory structure without a principal structure. The City did not have
the legal authority at that time to require its removal. The applicants purchased the property and have
been remodeling the barn for use as a man barn. The City has been issuing permits for the improvements
to the barn.
The applicants were required to provide septic testing infortnation and a wetland delineation in order to
establish the ability or non-ability to install a conforming septic system to serve the proposed bathroom
facilities. The wetlands in the eastern half of the site,as well as areas of compacted disturbed soils,
preclude the ability to install a conforming septic system meeting setback and soil�ondition requirements.
Staff is recommending approval of a holding tank subject to certain conditions. While formal Council
approval is not specifically required for holding tank use, it has been Staf�s policy to bring those requests
forward to the Council as a notification process.
In accepting this conditional use permit,the property owners will be required to agree to the filing of a
covenant in the title of the property providing that the accessory barn building will not be(a)used for a
home occupation unless specifically approved by the City or if allowed by this Code; (b)used as a
dwelling unless a guest house conditional use permit is obtained; and(c)rented, leased or otherwise
provided for use as a dwelling under any circumstances.
Planning Staff recommends approval of the conditional use permit for plumbing, including a bathtub or
shower within the proposed accessory barn structure. Staff further recommends approval of the use of a
holding tank for the proposed use in lieu of construction of a septic system, subject to the conditions
outlined in Staff's report. Approval is further subject to the applicants executing a covenant to be filed in
the chain of title establishing the following:
1. The accessory barn building shall not be used for a home occupation unless specifically approved
by the City;
2. The accessory barn building shall not be used as a dwelling or guest house; and
3. The accessory barn building shall not be rented, leased, or otherwise provided for use as a
dwelling under any circumstances.
Lemke asked what home occupation means.
Gaffron stated a home occupation is typically when someone lives in the house and there is some sort of
business being run from the house. Normally it would require a license or City approvals if that type of
occupation brings in traffic to the site or utilizes outside storage. Gaffron indicated the City has a whole
code section that talks about the criteria that must be met to not require a license.

Thiesse noted a dwelling means a building or a portion of a building designed or intended to be occupied
exclusively for residential purposes. Thiesse stated if this building is not designed for residential
purposes, it can have a bathroom.
Gaffron stated this is considered as an accessory building.
Thiesse stated he is a little concerned about the City's definition of a dwelling.
Schoenzeit questioned if there is a barn with a bathroom without a principal structure if it would be,by
definition, a house.
Gaffron stated those are all questions the Planning Commission can raise as concerns. From the
perspective of the definition of a dwelling, Staff would look at it as an accessory building because the
City's definition of dwelling does not require certain features. Gaffron stated this application is unique
and the barn remained since the City could not require its removal at the time the road was redone.
Leskinen asked if it possible to clarify that or alleviate the concern as a condition of the conditional use
permit.
Gaffron stated the Planning Commission could recommend that and the City Attorney could ensure that it
is enforceabte.
Leskinen asked if the building could be rented out for gatherings or parties.
Gaffron stated as soon as it starts being rented out, it becomes a commercial use,which is not allowed in
the RR-1B zone.
Thiesse stated if the alarm goes off and the owner is not present, it could become annoying to the
neighbors.
Gaffron stated the alarm for the septic system will likely be inside the building and that he is not sure
there is any need for the light or sound to be outside the building.
Olson asked if there is a way for the owners to be alerted if they are off site, especially if they are going to
be off site for weeks at a time.
Gaffron stated there might be technology that would allow that to happen. Gaffron stated if this is
installed in a normal manner, in his view leaking would be unlikely, but that the City does has a system
that provides a signal off site through the phone lines.
Thiesse stated the owner also has a vested interest in the septic system not overflowing into the building.
Lemke asked if there is any parking being proposed.
Gaffron stated the applicant will need to address that. Gaffron stated the compaction of the ground has to
do with the past use of the property but that there are no hardcover issues on the site.

Barnhart noted the City did receive some written comments that were provided to the Planning
Commission this evening and that many of those comments were addressed in Staffls report.
Dave Lind,Applicant, 3585 County Road 6, stated they had concerns about leakage and that they have an
electrician involved and there will be a switch on the wall for the pump so it can be turned off when they
leave. Lind indicated they both have houses and cabins and that this will be a retirement place where they
can putz with things. Lind indicated they looked a long time for a barn and they luckily found this one.
Lind stated as far as the tank is concerned,they felt that putting a whole blown septic system did not
make sense and that they were told a holding tank would work.
Thiesse noted the Planning Commission expressed some concerns about overnight guests. Thiesse asked
if the shower is absolutely necessary.
Lind indicated it is not but that they put it in their plan in the event they got dirty so they could get
cleaned up prior to leaving.
Thiesse opened the public hearing at 7:33 p.m.
Laura MacLachlan, 3565 County Road 6, asked if the holding tank alann will be strictly in the barn,and
if that goes off,how they will get notified of that.
Gaffron stated a lot of people have septic sites and are gone for the winter. Gaffron indicated there
usually is an alarm system that is located in the house and it will sound some sort of alarm when it
reaches a certain level. Gaffron stated a security system is also a potential way to deal with this but that
Staff has not proposed any specific technology. Gaffron noted the Planning Commission could add that
to their recommendation.
Thiesse stated it sounds like there will be a switch on the water source so that will help alleviate some of
the concern with leakage.
MacLachlan stated her other concern was the potential for changing the zoning on this site. MacLachlan
stated in her view once this has a full bathroom in it and there is no home on the property, it essentially
becomes the house even though technically it is an accessory structure.
Gaffron stated the covenant that is required will go with the property and that the intent is that it not be
used as a dwelling. Gaffron indicated this is not a property that will be rezoned to commercial or other
nonresidential use, but that it is odd that it is an accessory building without a principal residence.
MacLachlan asked if potentially down the line they could add a kitchen.
Gaffron indicated the City's building code does not allow it to be a dwelling, and if the applicants want to
use it as a dwelling,they would need to come back before the City and apply for a conditional use permit.
Gaffron stated in his view Staff can write those covenants so that anyone who purchases the property will
know it cannot be used as a primary residence and is purely an accessory building.

MacLachlan stated with a shower,the holding tank will fill up faster. MacLachlan stated if they are not
there that often,there is the potential for that filling up and the owners not knowing about the alarm going
off.
Gaffron stated the applicants are proposing a 1,500 gallon,two compartment holding tank with a visual
alarm, and that he expects there will be a sound alarm within the building as well. Gaffron stated the
Planning Commission can also recommend remote notification.
Lemke asked if the property owners would receive a notification from the City that their tank needs to be
pumped out.
Gaffron indicated they would not and that how often it needs to be pumped out will depend greatly on
how often it is used. Gaffron stated he can see it lasting a month or two if someone is there a couple
times a week and that it is likely the applicants will have a pumping contract or maintenance agreement.
It is Staffls expectation that the applicants will likely have a contract with a licensed pumper to pump
X number of times. Gaffron noted the City has not had any specific problems with holding tanks in the
past but that there are only a handful of them in the City.
Chair Thiesse closed the public hearing at 7:40 p.m.
Lemke stated he likes the fact that the applicants are preserving a barn since not too many of them exist
anymore in this area. Lemke stated he does not have too much concern with the proposed usage.
Leskinen stated she is okay with the proposal but would add the condition that there be remote access
notification. Leskinen stated in her view that would be in the owners' best interests. Leskinen stated it is
a nice use of a barn and a very unique situation and that she does not have a problem with the shower.
Leskinen noted the barn can never be a principal structure.
Gaffron noted the paperwork just says visual alarm but that it is easy enough to make it remote
notification.
Thiesse asked what would be allowed to be stored inside and outside.
Gaffron stated the outside storage would be the same as for any other residential home site. Gaffron
stated if the site becomes junky and someone files a complaint,the City would go after them to clean it
up.
Olson stated it is a great idea and that Staff has already addressed most of the concerns.
Leskinen noted the conditional use permit goes with the properiy and all the conditions would apply to
any new owner.
Lemke moved, Schoenzeit seconded, to recommend approval of Application No. 16-3836,Rick
Anderson and David Lind,3585 Sixth Avenue North,granting of a conditional use permit,subject
to the conditions outlined in Staft's report,with the additional condition that remote notification
regarding the holding tank be required and to tighten up the language with regard to the definition

VARIANCES, 7:45 P.M.—7:59 P.M.
John Brunello, Applicant,was present.
Curtis stated the applicant is requesting lot area, lot width, and side yard setback variances in order to
redevelop their property. The property owner is proposing to demolish the existing building and
construct a 2,300 plus square foot home with an attached three-stall garage. The property is a
nonconforming lot of record with just over a half an acre in area and approximately 100 feet of width.
The properiy is located in the RR-1B zoning district,which requires 2.0 acres in area and 200 feet of
width.
The applicant is requesting side setback variances from both the north and south lot lines. Therefore, lot
area and lot width variances are also required. The proposed two-story home will be situated 17 feet from
the north side lot line and 15 feet from the south lot line. Front and rear setbacks will be met as will
hardcover and structural coverage limits. The home will be approximately 64 feet wide and will be
situated 17 feet from the north side lot line and 15 feet from the south lot line. The property could
possibly conform to the lot of record provisions set forth in Section 78-72. However, the applicant's
request for side setback variances results in the property's inability to conform.
The City's engineer briefly reviewed the proposed plan and made a recommendation to require the plan to
be updated at the time of the building permit to include any proposed gutters and downspouts.
Staff finds that there are demonstrable practical difficulties supporting the lot area and lot width variance
as well as the side setback variance requests. No public comments have been received.
Staff recommends approval of the variances conditioned upon compliance with the City Engineer's
comments regarding the site drainage at the time of building permit.
The Planning Commission had no questions for Staf£
Jeffrey Jaglo stated he is here representing J. Brunello,LLC. Jaglo stated they are seeking the variances
in order to redevelop the property for a new home in place of the existing structure that is not a candidate
for either upgrading or remodeling. In order to place the new structure within the existing property
boundaries,they will need Council approval of a variance that would allow them to build beyond the
setbacks in the city ordinances. The lot is 100 feet wide and the required setbacks are such that a suitable
sized house with an average sized garage would make it difficult to redevelop the site.
Jaglo stated in their view redevelopment of the site would greatly enhance the neighborhood,bring a new
family to the City, and contribute to the overall success of the City and the schools.

Thiesse asked if the adjacent property to the south is a back yard.
Curtis indicated it is.
Thiesse stated he is assuming that property is also a candidate for redevelopment.
Curtis stated it does appear that Fox Street would be the frontage for that property.
Olson noted the proposal is below the City's structural coverage and hardcover limits.

HOLLANDER ROAD,EASEMENT VACATION,7:59 P.M.—8:04 P.M.
A1 Musech,Applicant,was present.
Barnhart stated the applicant is requesting vacation of a drainage and utility easement that remained after
a boundary line adjustment was made some years prior. The applicant proposes to replace the vacated
easement with a10-foot drainage and utility easement along the property line. There are no known
utilities within the easement.
Barnhart displayed the existing easement on the overhead and pointed out how the existing easement goes
right through the property. Originally the property consisted of two lots. Typically in new subdivisions
easements are platted along the property line. Barnhart illustrated the location of the new easement.
Staff recommends approval of the easement vacation as proposed and does not see it as having any
negative impacts on any property in the area.
Lemke asked if an easement is required to be provided on that property.
Barnhart stated it is not, but generally it is not known when an easement will be needed so the City will
typically ask for it up front.
Thiesse noted the easement goes from 10 feet to 5 feet but that it has to transition at some point. Thiesse
indicated he is comfortable with the location.
Al Musech,Applicant, stated as Staff has stated,the purpose of the easement swap is to put in a septic
system to replace the failing septic system. Musech stated at the time he purchased the property,they
knew the system was failing and the perc tests found a suitable site in the front yard. The new mound
system will blend in somewhat with the existing topography.

P.M.—8:40 P.M.
Barnhart stated in April of this year,the City Council approved a plan to develop a portion of Lurton Park
as an off-leash park. The City is requesting setback variances from the lake and wetland boundaries to
facilitate construction of fencing within the park. Other improvements approved by the Council include
expansion of the parking lot, additional benches and tables within the park.
Barnhart noted the plan presented in May differs from the plan being presented now. The proposed fence
has been pulled back from the wetland buffer on the west side and has been pulled back from the private
residential property to the north. The fence has mainly been pulled back from the wetland boundary on
the east side of the property. Variances are necessary because the fence crosses mapped wetlands just to
the east of the parking lot and is within 150 feet of the edge of Lake Classen. The fence within the
wetland near the parking lot replaces an existing fence.
Barnhart stated a fence is a normal part of a park and the proposed fence is the primary improvement to
the park. When Staff looked at applying the practical difficulty standards in this situation,they looked at
the fence as being the primary structure. In Staffls analysis, it was felt the fence does meet the
requirements and goals of the ordinance in trying to minimize the impacts to the neighbors and the goals
of the City.
A letter of concern was received by the City regarding the change of the park to an off-leash park.
During the public comment period at the Council meeting, neighboring property owners spoke in
opposition to the conversion of the park to an off-leash park. The neighbors noted concerns that the fence
would impact wildlife movement and habitat, and a fence adjacent to their property would negatively
impact their property. The fence has been pulled back from the property line to allow for wildlife
movement and to prevent interaction from the park to the private property. The comments received to
date center more on the presence of fencing versus the location of the fencing.
Lemke asked why the Planning Commission did not see this application previously.
Barnhart stated the application was originally presented to the City Council, with the City Council having
the opportunity to waive review by the Planning Commission and hold a public hearing if they deem
appropriate. Barnhart stated because the City was under time constraints with bidding the project and had
an opporlunity to hire a contractor in May, Staff felt it should go before the City Council. The City
Council, however, felt a review by the Planning Commission was appropriate.

Lemke asked how big a dog park typically is.
Barnhart indicated they vary in size and can range anywhere from one acre to a number of acres
depending on the community. Barnhart stated the city he lives in has a 5-acre dog park.
Schoenzeit stated the notes from the resident say that the City will be selling permits. Schoenzeit asked if
it will cost money to use the park.
Barnhart stated there are some policy issues that the Council is considering and that his understanding is
that they are looking at charging for parking at the park.
Schoenzeit asked who is paying for the fence.
Thiesse stated it is the City.
Barnhart stated his understanding is that it is coming out of park dedication fees.
Schoenzeit stated it is coming from the City and not the people who donated the land.
Lemke asked if the well is part of the proposal.
Adam Edwards, City Engineer, stated the size of dog parks vary from less than an acre up to 30,40 acres.
Edwards stated the intent of this park is that it will be an off-leash park as opposed to a little piece of
Astrotur£ People will have the ability to walk on trails through the woods or through the prairie with
their dog off leash. Edwards stated the intent is to maximize the use of the land.
As it relates to funding,the Council did elect to fund the construction of all the real property
improvements out of the park dedication fund. Edwards stated the Lurton Park Fund is being preserved
to continue maintenance of the prairie and there is an opportunity, if the family so chooses,to do small
improvements such as adding more benches or similar items.
Schoenzeit asked what the budget is for the project.
Edwards stated to his recollection the overall budget was around$115,000. The well was deferred to a
later date until sufficient interest in the park was demonstrated as well as some other items. The two main
items that were approved were the fence and the expansion of the parking lot in addition to some signage.
Thiesse noted the Planning Commission is only looking at the variance for the fence and that they do not
need to discuss the merits of an off-leash dog park. Thiesse stated the only reason this is before the
Planning Commission is that Council Member Walsh voted not to waive the review by the Planning
Commission.
Thiesse asked why there is no wetland delineation or survey.
Barnhart stated Staff felt it could site the fence properly without impacting the wetlands and that Staff
elected not to spend City resources on a survey.

Thiesse stated he understands that, but his feeling is that he would treat it more like the coach's kid who
gets a higher vision because they do not want to show any favoritism. Thiesse noted the City typically
requires it from absolutely everybody and that it would have been nice to have one as he was walking the
site.
Edwards noted the City has a GIS system, which has fairly accurate data, and that the City also has access
to all the wetland data from the DNR,which was used to place the fence.
Schoenzeit stated he disagrees that the discussion is limited to the fence and that all questions should be
allowed.
Thiesse noted the Planning Commission does not have any say into whether a dog park is desirable at this
location.
Schoenzeit asked whether there were any studies done on the amount this park will get used. Schoenzeit
stated typically this park is empty when he goes by it and that to justify a$150,000 investment seems
crazy.
Thiesse noted that is not the choice of the Planning Commission.
Schoenzeit commented he is an Orono taxpayer.
Thiesse stated he will need to attend the City Council meeting to discuss that.
Edwards stated the City does not keep attendance records at the park but that it is not a heavily used park,
which is one of the reasons why it became a candidate for a dog park. Edwards stated the donating family
brought the idea to the City.
Thiesse noted it was the family of the donors and not the actual donors.
Lemke asked whether the residents can tap into that same information bank that the City used in order to
do the wetlands.
Edwards stated the City did not do a wetland delineation but that they used the GIS data base to look at
where the wetlands were plotted and then backed off from that. Edwards stated the topography in this
area includes a fairly steep drop-off and it is not a gradual slope.
Lemke asked if that same data could be made available to the residents if the City is confident with their
wetland delineation in this case.
Curtis stated it is not a delineation by WACA standards and that it is a delineation that is required by City
Code. Curtis noted the Watershed District has authority over what is and is not a valid wetland
delineation and that this application does not trigger the Watershed District's wetland delineation
requirements.
Gaffron stated while the general public may have access to specific parts of the City's data, it would be
unusual to exempt them from doing a wetland delineation based on using that data.

Chair Thiesse opened the public hearing at 8:18 p.m. Thiesse-noted this request is for a variance to allow
a fence and not about the merits or needs of a dog park.
Dianna Milianta, 3515 Sixth Avenue North, stated she does not repeat a lot of what she said at the City
Council meeting and that she will summarize some of what she said. Milianta stated the intent of the park
was to be left as a wildlife park per the wishes of Susan Lurton. Milianta stated the placement of the
fence will make it difficult for wildlife to travel freely through the park. Milianta noted the fence is still
within 150 feet of the lake as well as being close to the residential properties. Milianta pointed out the
150-foot line. Milianta stated she would suggest moving a portion of the fence back since it would leave
access to the lake open for the wildlife.
Milianta stated the other item she would like to discuss is the practical difficulties document. Item No. 3
states the variance, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the locality. Milianta stated if you
take that very literally,the fence is intended to blend into the environment, but it should not be taken out
of context. Milianta noted the fence will hold dogs in and the dogs will alter the essential character of the
locality. Milianta stated the fence and the dogs together will really change the character of the locality
around the lake and around that corner.
Milianta stated the fence and the dogs will impact the value of their property. Milianta noted they have a
very nice horse barn and that there will be problems with the noise and having the dogs that close.
Milianta stated moving the fence down will still give a lot of space for the dogs and provide enough space
between the dogs and the horses.
Laurel MacLachlan, 3565 Sixth Avenue North, stated the original intent of the park was to keep it passive
so all the animals would be able to live there without any obstruction. MacLachlan stated she is in
agreement that the fence should be moved further back. MacLachlan stated in her view most dog parks
are in that 1 to 7 acre range and not 30 or 35 acres. MacLachlan stated if the dog park encompasses a lot
of acreage, it will impede on some of the wildlife, and when the dog park is that big and the dogs are off
leash, it will be difficult to pick up after them. MacLachlan stated she would like to see the dog park
restricted further.
MacLachlan stated she also is not sure that a 4-foot fence is not jumpable by a number of larger dogs,and
if a dog does jump that fence, it is a risk to the other animals that may or may not be there.
MacLachlan noted she did write some comments down and submitted those about how the change to the
park came about and about the lack of public notice.
Thiesse asked what the height of the fence is.
Barnhart indicated it is 47 inches.

Barnhart illustrated on the overhead the location of the fence and the areas where a variance would be
required. The fence will be located within 150 feet of the lake and 35 feet of the wetland.
Lemke stated his feeling is that by not granting the variance,the park still works perfectly well. Lemke
stated the fence could be moved back to the proper line and it would still be a very valuable and viable
park.
Thiesse stated he thought so,too, at the beginning until he heard the comments of the neighbors. One of
the comments was if the fence is pulled back, it would open up half that area for lake use and preserve the
wildlife corridor.
Barnhart stated this part of the fence is not accessible without a variance based on the wetland and the
GIS information. Barnhart stated there really is no other method to get through that area since the fence
would block that finger-shaped piece of£
Schoenzeit asked if the City plans on using a survey when locating the fence. �
Barnhart stated the City plans on field locating the fence with the contractor and the Watershed District.
�
Schoenzeit commented the City should follow its own advice and obtain a survey since it helps to prevent
problems with neighbors.
Olson stated he does not necessarily like the fence as it stands right now but that he does not want to
debate the necessity of the dog park. Olson asked if there is a way for pedestrians to use the park without
going through the area being used by the dogs.
Barnhart stated a person would not need a pet to use the park but that they would need to pay to park
there. Barnhart noted there are no,trails adjacent to this park that provide access to it. If someone wanted
to walk through the park,they can still do that since there likely will not be very many dogs using the
park.
Barnhart stated currently people will let their dogs off leash even though it is clearly posted that dogs
must be on a leash. Barnhart stated he does not expect it to be wall to wall dogs and that it is just more of
an opportunity to use the park for an alternative use. If a pedestrian wanted to get through there,they
would have to go through the fenced area but there will be gates that someone can walk through.
Thiesse stated he is in agreement that the principal use has to include the dogs, and putting the fence
where it is,the use behind the fence does create an impact.
Leskinen noted No. 4 of the practical difficulties states that economic considerations alone do not
constitute practical difficulties if reasonable use for the property exists. Leskinen stated the question is
whether someone can make reasonable use of a dog park if the fence is in a conforming location.
Thiesse indicated he did do a little research with Three Rivers Park and to his knowledge there are nine
parks within the area that allow dogs off leash and they range from three acres to 49 acres. At 13 acres,
this would be about a median size.

Leskinen stated the dog park can still be reasonably used if the fence is pulled away from the lake.
Leskinen stated if there is no other way to use that finger-shaped area, she has less issue with that portion
of it, but that she does have an issue with the area higher up along the lake. Leskinen stated as a whole it
is an awful lot to fence in for a dog park.
Barnhart stated the idea here is that there is some investment in time and energy already made with the
clearing of the trails and trees. Barnhart stated the City does not want to have to duplicate that up the hill,
which is part of the rationale for the location of the fence. Barnhart stated some other improvements have
already been made that they are trying to incorporate into it.
Thiesse asked if there is some way to add a gate to access the trails on the east side.
Barnhart stated he is sure the Park Commission and City Council would take any advice the Planning
Commission would like to offer.
Schoenzeit stated he was at the Council meeting when the family donated the land to the City and the
discussion centered around controlled burns and re-establishing the prairie. Schoenzeit stated fencing it
in and charging money to park was completely outside the scope of the plan. Schoenzeit stated there is
also the lack of transparency of the planning process and the fact that the City actually wants to push this
through without a public hearing.
Thiesse noted that is not true and that the public hearing would have taken place at the City Council if it
had not been referred back to the Planning Commission.
Schoenzeit stated it also appears they are using City privilege to shortcut the survey process and the
wetland delineation. Schoenzeit stated it is a great example of bad government and that he is strongly
opposed to putting a fence on the property.
Olson stated without having all the information, in his view they can still do the dog park without
granting the variances. Olson noted someone else is going to decide if there is going to be a dog park and
that the Planning Commission will not be deciding that. Olson stated in his view the City can get to that
end result without granting the variances and that he has not seen a very substantial hardship
demonstrated.
Lemke stated he is in agreement with Commissioner Schoenzeit and that he does not see much thought
having gone into the concept of a dog park.
Leskinen stated she would be okay with the variance on the smaller portion that is not accessible without
it, but that along the larger section, she is having trouble seeing enough practical difficulty to be able to
grant the variance.
Schoenzeit stated by granting the variance,they are giving the City permission to spend $150,000 to get
into the dog park business. Schoenzeit stated he hears all the time how the City does not have the
resources to do various things, and that anything the Planning Commission can do to slow that down
would be their duty.

Thiesse stated he is ambivalent to the dog park, but that in his view the park can function with the fence in
a legal position. Thiesse indicated he is more willing to accept the variance for the small part. Thiesse
noted Three Rivers has nine dog parks and that he hopes someone has checked to see whether Baker Park
will be included in that in the near future.

10. #16-3840 CITY OF ORONO,TEXT AMENDMENT: TEMPORARY FAMILY HEALTH
CARE DWELLINGS,8:40 P.M.-8:49 P.M.
Barnhart stated during the 2016 Legislative session,the Minnesota legislature enacted a law allowing
"temporary family health care dwellings"in Minnesota. These dwellings are 300 square feet,usually on a
trailer,that are connected to the houses' electivity and water sources, contain a sewage tank for pumping
and can be placed anywhere on the property. The legislature noted that these drop houses provide a
viable housing option for patients needing care provided by others but not necessarily in a hospital or
nursing facility.
The statute allows a city to opt-out of the requirements of this statute. To alleviate possible confusion and
to avoid situations where a property owner may place a temporary family health care dwelling as a guest
house,the proposed ordinance opts out of the statute.
Staff recommends approval of the text amendment. Barnhart noted this was not on the City's list of
priorities but it was identified by the Council in early May that this should be moved to the top of the list
prior to the statute becoming effective in September.
Schoenzeit asked if it is like a blood mobile or a library mobile.
Barnhart stated there is actually a company out there that provides this service. The dwelling basically
consists of 300 square feet with a holding tank for the septic. The dwelling can be hooked up to water
and electricity from the main house and is essentially an addition that is parked in the yard.
Thiesse asked if this is something the City might want to allow. Thiesse stated he can understand the
concern about maintaining some control over it but that it might be something the City would want to
discuss a little bit more.
Barnhart stated the mobile dwellings are designed to provide avenues for people to get healthcare and that
Mr. Thiesse raises a very valid point. Barnhart noted the City's ordinance already prohibits it and that he
did not want to have an ordinance that prohibits it and then have a statute that allows it. Barnhart stated
the purpose of the text amendment is to clarify it and that perhaps later in the year the City can discuss it
further.
Leskinen stated adopting this does not shut the door on it permanently but simply just clarifies what is
already on the books. Leskinen stated the City could choose to allow it at some point.
Barnhart stated in his view it would be worthwhile to revisit it.

Lemke asked wh�t the definition is of a guest house and whether a trailer would be considered a guest
house.
Barnhart stated a trailer is specifically listed as those that are not allowed for dwelling units.
Curtis stated the definition of a guest house is an accessory separate dwelling constructed on an existing
undivided lot for the sole use of the occupants, including their domestic employees or the nonpaying
guests of the primary dwelling. All regular lot requirements will be met by the guest house.
Barnhart stated under 1372 in the draft ordinance it says: no cellar, basement,tent or accessory building
shall at any time be used as an occupied building. Barnhart indicated he added the words"unless
otherwise approved as a guest house." Barnhart stated the City allows guest houses as an accessory
building and a tent and a trailer are expressly listed as those that are not appropriate for a dwelling.
Planning Staff recommends approval of the ordinance as drafted.

PLANNING COMMISSION COMMENTS
11. UPDATE ON CITY COUNCIL MEETINGS SCHEDULED FOR MAY 23,2016,AND
JiJNE 13,2016
Barnhart reported on the following actions of the City Council:
• Approved the text amendment regarding subdivision exceptions.
• Approved the CUP for grading on 895 Tonkawa on Consent.
• Comments were provided on the Denman sketch at 2525 Shadywood for seven units. The
Council did not have the same concerns with density but will likely discuss that at some point.
• Council approved on Consent the conditional use permit and the rezoning of the wetland for the
City of Medina's application.
• Approved on Consent the lot line rearrangement for 2465 and 2485 North Shore Drive.
• Approved variances for 1255 Dickinson Street. The Planning Commission approved it 5-1. A
question was raised regarding structural coverage, with the Council approving it 2-1. Cornick
voted no.
12. OTHER ISSUES FOR DISCUSSION
Rick Meyers, Park Commission Chair, stated some things were said that were not correct during the
discussion on the off-leash dog park. Meyers stated he does not want the record to show there was not a
process that was followed. Meyers noted the only reason this came before the Planning Commission was
Page _ --- -

. MINUTES OF THE
ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING
Monday,June 20,2016
6:30 o'clock p.m.
the need for a variance for the fence and that otherwise a review by the Planning Commission was not
necessary for the dog park.
Meyers stated he makes it a point at the Park Commission meetings not to talk about the Planning
Commission and disparage what they do. Meyers stated the concept of an off-leash dog park was �
investigated by the Park Commission and that the family approached the City and suggested it.
Meyers stated it is also not right to say that the City is wasting money since park dedication money is
being used for this project. Park dedication money can only be used for capital improvements, such as to
purchase parks or improve parks.
Schoenzeit stated there should be a bigger discussion before having the City get involved in the dog park
business.
Meyers stated the Park Commission voted 7 to 0 to recommend approval of a dog park and the City
Council voted 5-0 to approve a dog park.
Schoenzeit commented it is not a good idea.
Meyers noted the Park Commission also had public hearings and that the representation that this was
done in some kind of slipshod manner was not accurate.
Thiesse noted he did state during the meeting that this was done in accordance with the City's policies.
Thiesse stated to his recollection he has not ever had a variance not come to the Planning Commission,
but that he appreciates what the Park Commission does and that they have done what they were supposed
to do.
Meyers stated he was not part of the discussion about whether a variance is required. Meyers stated as
part of the Park Commission's fiduciary duty,they try to save money wherever possible, and if the GIS
data can get them within the intent of the rules,that is something that should be used. Meyers noted they
are talking about a fence, which tends to be a very low impact thing.
Meyers stated the Park Commission researched dog parks,visited a number of dog parks, and that this
was not something that they pulled out of their hat. Meyers noted the family approached the City wanting
to see more use of the park. Meyers stated the City also has 24 parks in the system and that people can go
to a park specifically designed for the recreation they would like to do.
Meyers noted the Park Commission can actually recommend spending money and that they set it up with
the public good in mind and what would serve the most good in the City. Meyers stated it makes the Park
Commission look bad to be dragged through the mud at one of the Planning Commission meetings and
that he would not editorialize on the Planning Commission's job at one of the Park Commission meetings.
Schoenzeit asked if there was a Council line item to invest$150,000 in a dog park.
Meyers stated it was $115,000 and not$150,000. The bid for the fence was $70,000.
Schoenzeit asked how the public is supposed to weigh in on it.

MINUTES OF THE
ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING
Monday,June 20,2016
6:30 o'clock p.m.
Thiesse stated the Park Commission had a public hearing.
Council Member Levang stated the Park Commission went through months of planning regarding the dog
park and that the Park Commission was brought back by Mayor McMillan and herself for the purpose of
shoring up the City's assets in the City. Levang stated the Park Commission has worked tirelessly and
has looked at every park in the City and has taken a number of steps to bring them up to a beautiful
condition.
Levang indicated she also worked with the soccer girls to lay the chips on the trails at Lurton Park, which
is a wonderful asset that is not being used. Levang stated the Lurton family asked the City to expand the
use of the park. Levang stated the Park Commission worked hard to identify the needs of the City and the
dog park was one of the needs. Levang stated the Park Commission did their homework and did
everything they were supposed to and that there was no behind closed doors action here. Levang stated
the process has all been transparent and the Park Commission has worked very,vety hard to come up
with a good plan.
Levang noted Commissioner Schoenzeit does not have to agree the City needs a dog park and that he was
not asked to weigh in on that. Levang stated it is the responsibility of the City Council to make that
decision. Levang stated the Park Commission worked very hard on this and that she does not appreciate
being told there was some behind closed doors' action when there was none of that.
Bryce Johnson stated the Park Commission worked very hard on this project and spent a lot of time
investigating dog parks independent of anything having to do with Lurton Park. The Park Commission
came to the conclusion that an off-leash dog park was a very important need�or Orono and the
community. Johnson stated they had the discussion at a Park Commission meeting that was open to the
public. In addition,the Lurton family approached the City and requested it be used as a dog park.
Johnson stated there was no discussion from the beginning or any indication that the City would conduct
this as a business. Johnson stated the Park Commission was not interested in whether there would be
money made on this park and that the intent was only to try to bring some order to the concept. Johnson
stated the concept of people purchasing a parking permit was studied by the Council and Staff and the
Park Commission had nothing to do that.
Johnson noted the City's park dedication fund has hundreds of thousands of dollars in it and it got there
every time there was a new development in the City. Johnson stated in his view the park dedication fees
should be used in the general area where developments have occurred and that a couple of developments
are now being considered in the area of Lurton Park. The park dedication fees are only allowed for park
investments and not maintenance.
Johnson stated an off-leash dog park was identified as an important thing to have. The Lurton family has
indicated they would still continue to support the dog park but that they would like to see the City put
some money into it.
Schoenzeit stated often in the Planning Commission meetings it is stated that they cannot talk about
certain things, and in general that is wrong. Schoenzeit stated there should not be some prearrangement
to squash comment.

Monday,June 20,2016
6:30 o'clock p.m.
Thiesse stated there is a time and a place for that comment and that comment would have been wasted at
the Planning Commission because it does not hold any water in this context. Thiesse stated the proper
time would have been at the Council meeting.
Schoenzeit stated to stifle comment is wrong.
Olson stated if the Park Commission is making a decision along these lines, it would have been very
helpful to hear the comments that were just made prior to the Planning Commission making their
decision. Olson stated he was•looking at it from a different perspective than what has been explained and
that it would have been very beneficial to have that information.
Meyers stated he would have been glad to have done that had he been invited to speak. Meyers stated it
was his understanding that the Planning Commission was only going to be discussing the variance and
that he did not feel it was proper on his part to go into the background. Meyers indicated he spoke to Mr.
Thiesse on the phone and provided some background information but that Mr. Thiesse indicated he would
keep his decision on the variance and not on the broader package.
Schoenzeit stated the fact that he is not sure he could speak on or off topic is a problem with the way the
hearings are being run. Schoenzeit stated this is a public forum and people should feel free to add to the
discussion.
Lemke asked if the Planning Commission will be going paperless.
Barnhart indicated he has added that to the proposed budget for 2017 and that he is optimistic but not 100
percent confident it will be approved. Barnhart stated in his view it would be a benefit to go that route.

Background
According to Hennepin County's records the home on the property was constructed in
approximately 1938, predating today's setback requirements. The applicant is proposing to
construct a 24'x 24'attached garage on the north side of the home;the existing 18'x 21'tuck
under garage space will remain. Due to proximity of the existing home to the lake and the east
side property line, setback variances are necessary.
Additionally, hardcover variances are also requested to permit 34.64%where 34.73%currently
exists. As part of the project,the applicant is proposing to completely remove the existing
blacktop driveway; a new reconfigured driveway will be installed resulting in an approximate
255 square foot reduction of driveway hardcover. The new garage will be constructed primarily
over existing driveway hardcover;there will be some new structural hardcover(both in and out

Applicable Regulations:
Side Setback Variance (Section 78-305)
A 30 foot side setback is required for principal structures. The applicant is proposing to construct
an addition expanding the existing garage over the driveway to encroach as close as 10.2 feet to
the side lot line. The home on the property is situated at an angle oriented toward the lake; and
FILE#16-3839
13 July 2016
Page 3 of 6
is as close as 17.6 feet from the east property line. Because of the orientation, continuing the
east line of the house to extend the garage results in an even greater encroachment into the
already nonconforming property line setback.
The property is situated on the eastern limit of the City on Ferndale Road West.The neighbor to
the east is within the City of Wayzata;Wayzata's side setback requirement for their R-1 district
is 20 feet. The home on the property to the east (692 Ferndale Road W) is approximately 120
feet from the side lot line.
Lake Setback Variance (Section 78-1279)
The existing home is situated as close as 20 feet from the lake.Although the proposed addition
is on the street side of the home, it is still within the 75 foot setback.
Hardcover Variance (Sections 78-1680& 78-1700)
At 34.73%,the existing conditions on the Tier 1 property exceed the permitted 25%.
Approximately 11%of the site's existing hardcover consist of the house and lakeside patio and is
within the 75-foot setback; another 15% is attributed to the approximate 160 foot long
driveway.The applicant is proposing to remove and replace the driveway in a different, more
functional configuration. The proposed addition has a 7' x 24' portion within the 75-foot
setback area, approximately 15 square feet of which would be considered new hardcover in an
area that is currently pervious.The remainder of the proposed garage addition wili be
constructed over existing driveway hardcover.
Governing Regulation:Variance (Section 78-123)
In reviewing applications for variance, the Planning Commission shall consider the effect of the
proposed variance upon the health, safety and welfare of the community, existing and
anticipated traffic conditions, light and air, danger of fire, risk to the public safety, and the effect
on values of property in the surrounding area. The Planninq Commission shall consider
recommending approval for variances from the literal provisions of the Zoning Code in instances
where their strict enforcement would cause practical difficulties because of circumstances unique
to the individual property under consideration, and shall recommend approval only when it is
demonstrated that such actions will be in keeping with the spirit and intent of the Orono Zoning
Code. Economic considerations alone do not constitute practical difficulties. Practical difficulties
also include but are not limited to inadequate access to direct sunlight for solar energy systems.
Variances shall be granted for earth-sheltered construction as defined in Minn. Stat. § 216C.06,
subd. 2, when in harmony with this chapter. The board or the council may not permit as a
variance any use that is not permitted under this chapter for property in the zone where the
affected person's land is located.The board or counci) may permit as a variance the temporary
use of a one-family dwelling as a two-family dwelling.
According to MN §462.537 Subd. 6(2)variances shall only be permitted when:
1. The variance is in harmony with the general intent and purpose of the Ordinance. The
lakeshore setback variance is minimal and generally consistent with the intent of the
ordinance. The 75-foot lake setback and 0-75 foot zone hardcover variance requested
to permit the garage addition result in no net increase in hardcover for the property,
and are in harmony with the ordinance which serves to limit hardcover surfaces within
75-feet of the lake.
FILE#16-3839
13 July 2016
Page 4 of 6
However, the hardcover variance to permit the addition in conjunction with the
reconstruction of the driveway may not be in keeping with the goals of the ordinance;
the driveway hardcover could be minimized to reduce overall hardcover.
The proposed side setback variance is reasonable considering the orientation of the
home and the resulting 10 foot setback.
2. The variance is consistent with the comprehensive plan. The requested variances are
consistent with the residential goals within the comprehensive plan.
3. The applicant establishes that there are practical difficulties.
a. The property owner proposes to use the property in a reasonable manner not
permitted by the official controls;the construction of the garage addition to the
home is reasonable residential property.
b. There are circumstances unique to the property not created by the landowner;
The location of the home on the property 20 feet from the OHWL and less than
30 feet from the side lot line is an existing condition which predates the current
regulations as well as the current owner, and
c. The variance will not alter the essential character of the locality. The garage
addition will be screened from views from the lake bythe house,will be keeping
with the style of the historic home,and will allow for sufficient interior storage
of vehicles and residential property maintenance equipment.
Additionally City Code 78-123 provides additional parameters within which a variance may be
granted as follows:
4. The special conditions applying to the structure or land in question are peculiar to such
property or immediately adjoining property. The existing home on the property has
been remodeled through the years, yet predates the current zoning regulations
regarding setbacks,etc. and most of the homes on adjacent properties.
5. The conditions do not apply generally to other land or structures in the district in which
the land is located. The home and stone patio is situated right up to the lake. The
neighboring home to the west is situated at a similar setback to the lake and in a similar
orientation; the home on the property to the east is over 120 feet from the subject
home and is oriented toward the lake in the opposite direction.The proposal does not
appear to be out of character with the area.
6. The granting of the application is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a
substantial property right of the applicant.This statement is true.
7. The granting of the proposed variance will not in any way impair health,safety, comfort
or morals,or in any other respect be contrary to the intent of this chapter.The proposed
garage addition will not impair the health,safety,comfort or morals of the public.
8. The granting of such variance will not merely serve as a convenience to the applicant,
but is necessary to alleviate demonstrable difficulty. There is no other feasible way to
add addition space on to the existing garage as the house is angled toward the property
line.
The Commission may recommend or Council may impose conditions in granting of variances.
Any conditions imposed must be directly related to and must bear a rough proportionality to the
impact created by the variance. No variance shall be granted or changed beyond the use
permitted in this chapter in the district where such land is located.

Septic System Status
The property is served by City sewer.
Practical Difficulties Statement
Applicant has completed the Practical Difficulties Documentation Form attached as Exhibit B,and
should be asked for additional testimony regarding the application.
Practical Difficulties Analysis
Staff finds the requested variance to encroach into the 75-foot lakeshore setback is minimal;the
applicant is unable to construct any additions to the home without variances from the lake
setback. Although the requested hardcover variances within the 0-75 foot zone and on the Tier
1 property as a whole result in no net increase in hardcover for the property, staff would
encourage the applicant to further limit the proposed hardcover. The distance between Ferndale
Road and the home necessitate a specific minimal length of driveway however the proposed
driveway which includes a considerable loop may not be supported by practical difficulties. The
driveway replacement does result in a reduction in driveway hardcover however this is offset by
the structural addition over the driveway near the home. Staff suggests reductions could be made
to the proposed driveway in conjunction with some mitigating measures to encourage infiltration
—such as raingardens, permeable pavement,etc.
Staff finds the proposed side setback variance is reasonable considering the orientation of the
home, and the resulting 10 foot setback allowing for adequate open space between the garage
and the home to the east.
Engineer Comments
The City engineer has conducted a cursory review of the applicant's plan; no issues were noted.
A comprehensive review will be done at the time of the building permit.
Public Comments
As of the drafting of this memo, no comments from the public have been received.
Issues for Consideration
1. Does the Planning Commission find that that the property owner proposes to use the
property in a reasonable manner which is not permitted by an official control?
2. Does the Planning Commission find that the variances, if granted, will not alter the
essential character of the neighborhood?
3. Does the Commission find it necessary to impose conditions in order to mitigate the
impacts created by the granting of the requested variances?
4. Are there any other issues or concerns with this application?
Planning Commission Options for Consideration
The Planning Commission may consider the following alternative motions:
1. Approval of the hardcover, lake setback, and side setback variances as requested; or
2. Approval of the lake setback and side setback variances.Approval of hardcover variances
resulting in a specified net reduction in hardcover and/or in conjunction with stormwater
management BMPs implemented on site;or
3. Denial of the variances as requested.
FILE#16-3839
13 July 2016
Page 6 of 6
Planning Staff Recommendation
Planning Staff recommends option #2 above; the Planning Commission should make a
determination as to the appropriateness of the amount of overall site hardcover reduction
and BMPs.
The applicant should be required to provide updated hardcover calculations reflecting the
breakdown of 0-75' hardcover for the property prior to placement on the City Council's
agenda for consideration.

865 Ferndale Rd W
Variance Application Practical Difficulty Documentatian Form
1."The property owner proposes to use the property in a reasonable manner not
permitted by the ZonEng Chapter'
- The current property of 865 Ferndale west is zoned residential R-1 and is a
single currently a single family residence, The intension of the groperty is to
continue as a single family residence
2.The plight of the Landowner is due to the circumstances unique to HER praper#y
not created by�e I.andowner"
- The request of the variance is to add a 2 car garage on to the current structure,
The existing garage was built in early 1900s. Households af that era were not
created to be two car households. The garage was built originally to store a large
one car vehicle that was suited for a 1920s pre-war vehicle,which is much larger
then today's vehicles.
3. The variance, if granted�will not alter the essentlal character of the locality
• The design and structure has been created to tie in with the existing character of
the residence as well match existing materials with the addition what wffl blend
with the current structure and maintain the character of the property
4. Economic Consideratlons alone do nat canstitute practical difficultfes if
reasonable use for the property exist under the terms of the Zoning Chapter:
- N/A
5. Prac#ical ditficuIties inciade,but are not limited to, inadequate access to direct
sunlight for solar energy systems. Variance shall be granted for earth sheitered
construction as defined in Minnesota 5tatutes,Section 116J.06 Subd.2,when in
harmony with this Chapter."
- The structure being built is a garage which in not a required earth sheltered
constructi�n defined in Scetion 116j.06 Subd.2. However it is attached to the
properties primary earth shelter
6.The Board of Appeals and Adjustments or the Council mat not permit as a varfance
any use that is not allowed under this Chapter for property in the zone where the
affected persan's land is located.
- The primary use of the structure for this project is to store 2+vehicles in an non
assuming structure for the property and doesn't disrupt the land adjoining the
property.
7.The board or Council may permit as a varianc the temporary nse of a one-Family
dwelling as a iwo-family dwelling.
- N/A
S. The special conditions applying to the structure or land in question are peculiar to
such property or fmmediately adjaining property;
- The original house was built in the early 1920s and the lot line esfiablished
during that period are peculiar to the angle in which the house is placed off the
side yard lot lines of the prc�perry. To add an addition to the structure with
respect to the ariginal character and architecture of the current home it needs to
be square from the current structure which impacts a lot line that is not parallel
with the current structure.
9. The condition does not apply generally to other land or structure in the dfstrtct in
which said land is located;
- The current request does apply to the adjoining property to the North. The
property at 876 Ferndale W has a garage addition that was added to the home
that is less then 3 ft.of the our property line.
10. The granting of the applf catlon is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment
of a substantial property right of the applicant;
- The purpose and intent of the project is to safely allow 2 cars to be parked inside
of a garage and out of public view on the property. The addition is intended to
provide enough adequate storage far 2 vehicles as well other personal property
items that are necessary stored in a garage.
11.The Granting of the proposed variance will not in any way impair hea�th,safety,
comfort, marals, or fn any other respect be contrary to the intent of the Zoning Code
• Correct, it will not impair health,safety, comfort, morals,or respect of the
zoning code.
12. The grantfng of such variance will nat merely serve as a convenience to the
applicant,but is necessary to alleviate demonstrable dif�'iculty
- The current home lacks adequate garage space to�e able to park two vehicles
inside. Creating additional garage storage space will allow for less vehicles to be parked in
front of the home as well create a mare safe entry and exit to the home for the current
resident.

Background
The applicants are purchasing this vacant lot and propose to construct a new single-family
residence. The property is considered as a corner lot fronting on Arbor Street. Although the
zoning is RR-1B requiring two acres and 200' of width, the lot is a combination of two originally
platted 50' lots and is typical in area of many other lots in the Crystal Bay neighborhood. .
The proposed 2-story home includes an attached garage and has an overall footprint of
approximately 1850 s.f. including deck and porches. The house is proposed as a 'lookout' rather
than a walkout due to the relative flatness of the lot, and as proposed will have a defined height
of just over 26 feet, meeting the 30' limit. '

APPLICABLE REGULATIONS
78-420: RR-16 Lot Standards&Setback Regulations
Sec. 78-1511. - Setbacks for parking. Required off-street parking in all districts shall meet the
following setback requirements:
(1) R districts. Within all R districts, all vehicles normally owned or kept by the occupants
on the premises must have a garage stall or open parking space on the same lot as the
principal use served. Garage stalls accessorv to residential structures may be located
anvwhere on the lot other than a required vard area, except that such garages may be
located to within ten feet of an interior side lot line and to within ten feet of a rear lot
line subject to this chapter. Open parking spaces on lots must have a location other
than a required yard, except that such parking may be located in a rear yard to within
ten feet of an interior side lot line and to within ten feet of a rear lot line.
Sec. 18-136. -Residential driveways, approaches and turnaround.
(a) One driveway approach shall be allowed from up to two single residential parcels of
land to the same road, provided that appropriate easements exist between parties
sharing the driveway and driveway approach. Parcels having frontage on more than
one public road shall be allowed a driveway approach to one public road.
(b) Residential driveway approach shall not exceed 20 feet in width at the intersected
right-of-way line.
(e) No portion of a driveway approach, except the curb return, shall be constructed within
100 feet of a corner.

Governing Regulations:Variance(Sec. 78-123).
In reviewing applications for variance, the Planning Commission shall consider the effect of the
proposed variance upon the health, safety and welfare of the community, existing and anticipated
traffic conditions, light and air, danger of fire, risk to the public safety, and the effect on values of
property in the surrounding area. The Planning Commission shall consider recommending
approval for variances from the literal provisions of the Zoning Code in instances where their strict
enforcement would cause practical difficulties because of circumstances unique to the individual
property under consideration, and shall recommend approval only when it is demonstrated that
such actions will be in keeping with the spirit and intent of the Orono Zoning Code. Economic
considerations alone do not constitute practical difficulties. Practical difficulties also include but
are not limited to inadequate access to direct sunlight for solar energy systems. Variances shall
be granted for earth-sheltered construction as defined in Minn. Stat. § 216C.06, subd. 2, when in
harmony with this chapter. The board or the council may not permit as a variance any use that is
not permitted under this chapter for property in the zone where the affected person's land is
located. The board or council may permit as a variance the temporary use of a one-family
dwelling as a two-family dwelling.
According to MN §462.537 Subd. 6(2)variances shall only be permitted when:
1. The variance is in harmony with the general intent and purpose of the Ordinance. Single-
family homes are an allowed use within the RR-16 zoning district, and the proposed
�esidence is a single family home on a small lot in a neighborhood of similarly sized lots
with similar setbacks.
2. The variance is consistent with the comprehensive plan. The proposed house is a
residential use which is consistent with the comprehensive plan guiding of this and
surrounding properties for residential use.
3. The applicant establishes that there are practical difficulties
a. The property owner proposes to use the property in a reasonable manner not
permitted by the official controls; The property owner is proposing to use the
property in a reasonable manner but the specific lot area, lot width and setback
requirements of the Zoning Code result in the need for variances in order to
build on the lot.
b. There are circumstances unique to the property not created by the landowner;
The plight of the property owner is due to the lot having been created prior to
establishment of zoning codes, and the application of area, width and setback
standards more suited to 2-acre lots than the small lots in the Crystal Bay
neighborhood;the landowner did not create the small lot situation. and
c. The variance will not alter the essential character of the locality. Constructing a
single family residence as proposed is not anticipated to alter the character of
the neighborhood, since many homes in the neighborhood exist on similarly
sized lots with similar setbacks.
Additionally City Code 78-123 provides additional parameters within which a variance may be
granted as follows:
4. Practical difficulties also include but are not limited to inadequate access to direct
sunlight for solar energy systems. Variances shall be granted for earth-sheltered
construction as defined in Minn. Stat. § 216C.06, subd. 2, when in harmony with this
chapter. This is not applicable to this application.
5. Economic considerations alone do not constitute practical difficulties. Economic
considerations are not a factor in the variance request.

6. The board or the council may not permit as a variance any use that is not permitted
under this chapter for property in the zone where the affected person's land is located.
This is not applicable to this application,as the residential use is a permitted use.
7. The board or council may permit as a variance the temporary use of a one-family
dwelling as a two-family dwelling. This is not applicable to this application.
8. The special conditions applying to the structure or land in question are peculiar to such
property or immediately adjoining property. The conditions applicable to this property
are typical of the Crystal Bay neighborhood but are not typical of the overall RR-16
zoning district.
9. The conditions do not apply generally to other land or structures in the district in which
the land is located. The conditions apply to many other 100' wide corner lots in the
Crystal Bay neighborhood which as a result of the required setbacks would have only a
20' wide buildable envelope under RR-16 standards; but do not apply to a majority of
lots within the RR-16 district.
10. The granting of the application is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a
substantial property right of the applicant. The property is typical of single family lot in
the Crystal Bay neighborhood. Further,the property was assessed for a sewer unit and
provided with municipal sewer in 1985, hence the property was assumed to be
buildable as a combination of two lots at that time, as evidenced by City Council
Resolution No. 1797.
11. The granting of the proposed variance will not in any way impair health, safety, comfort
or morals, or in any other respect be contrary to the intent of this chapter. Granting of
the variances would not impair health, safety, comfort or morals and would be in
keeping with the intent of the zoning code.
12. The granting of such variance will not merely serve as a convenience to the applicant, but
is necessary to alleviate demonstrable difficulty. The lot size as compared to the RR-16
zoning standards is a practical difficulty, as adherence to those standards would result
in a very narrow buildable envelope and a home that would be out of character with
the surrounding neighborhood. Granting of the area, width and setback variances will
solve a practical difficulty that otherwise would make the lot virtually unusable for a
single family home.
The Planning Commission may recommend and the Council may impose conditions in granting of
variances. Any conditions imposed must be directly related to and must bear a rough
proportionality to the impact created by the variance. No variance shall be granted or changed
beyond the use permitted in this chapter in the district where such land is located.
Lot Area/Width Variances
The property at 100' wide and less than %: acre in area is typical of lots in the Crystal Bay
neighborhood, the majority of which was platted in 1909 and 1915. Over the past century,
individual lots as well as double lots and a few triple or larger lots have been built on with single
family homes. The RR-16 zoning of the Crystal Bay neighborhood is a reflection of the
surrounding rural area, and has never been revised to reflect the actual neighborhood lot sizes
created 100 years ago. Rezoning to more closely match the prevailing lot sizes has been
discussed in the past but not acted upon. Note that Orono's %-acre zone standards would allow
for a 0.5 acre lot and 100' width, with setbacks of 30' front and rear, 10' sides, and 15' side
street.

Front/Street/Side Street Setback Variances
The front setback variance is for a setback of 20.4 feet for the porch, with the bulk of the house
being 26 feet from the street lot line. This setback is generally in line with the existing house to
the immediate north, and is typical of many other lots in the neighborhood, which have front
setbacks ranging from 17-18 feet to as much as 40-50 feet. The need for the shortened setback
may have to do with the topography of the lot and its relation to the 'lookout' configuration. In a
%-acre zone the front setback would be 30' minimum; applicant should be asked to review
whether the setback can be increased to 30' or if not, define the reasons why.
With regard to the side setbacks of 25' and 23', these place the house generally centered on the
lot, which will avoid visual crowding in the neighborhood. Note that under %2-acre standards
these would be conforming setbacks.
Driveway Standards Variances
The proposed attached garage will be located 26 feet from the street lot line where a 50' front
setback would normally be required for garage stalls (Code Section 78-1511 generally requires
that garage stalls not be located within a required front yard, i.e. 50' in the RR-16 district).
However, the garage doors will be approximately 45 feet from the paved roadway of Arbor
Street, hence ample off-street parking would appear to be available.
With regard to the driveway itself, the location in the north half of the lot yields a setback from
the Arbor/Minnetonka intersection of approximately 60 feet, and while not meeting the 100'
standard of Section 18-136(e), is acceptable given the low-volume, low speed traffic within this
neighborhood.
Additionally, the proposed driveway width at the property line is shown at 26 feet. This should
be reduced to 20 feet in order to meet the requirements of Section 18-136(b).
Analysis
Construction of a new home on this lot has long been anticipated by staff and most likely by the
neighborhood. Staff believes the character of the neighborhood will not change if the variances
for lot width and lot area are granted and a home is built on the property.
The side setback variances for the proposed house are typical of the neighborhood and while in a
2-acre lot setting would be extreme, at this location they would seem to be reasonable in order
to avoid a very narrow house.
Whether the front setback can be increased to 30 feet is a point for discussion with the applicant.
This increase would be a benefit for additional off-street parking, given the fairly narrow street,
and would help to keep an open space feel in the immediate neighborhood.
Practical Difficulties Statement
Applicant has filled in short answers to the Practical Difficulties Documentation Form attached as
Exhibit D, and should be asked for additional testimony regarding the application.
Neighbor Comments
As of this writing the City has received no comments from neighboring property owners, but the
abutting owners to the north and east, as well as the owner directly west across Arbor street,
have all signed the neighbor acknowledgement forms (Exhibit J).

Issues for Consideration
1. Does the Planning Commission find that that the property owner proposes to use the
property in a reasonable manner which is not permitted by an official control?
2. Does the Planning Commission find that the variances, if granted, will not alter the
essential character of the neighborhood?
3. If the Planning Commission concludes that the variances as requested are justified,
does the Commission find it necessary to impose conditions in order to mitigate the
impacts created by the granting of the variances?
4. Are there any other issues or concerns with this application?
Staff Recommendation
Staff recommends approval of the requested variances. If Planning Commission determines that
the practical difficulties test is met and the variances are justified, then a recommendation for
approval would be in order.

PRACTICAL DIFFICULTIES DOCUMENTATION FORM
This form is a required submittal for ALL variance applications. An application will not be considered
complete or placed on any meeting agendas until this form is complete and submitted to the City.
Minnesota State Statutes Section 462.357, Subdivision 6(2) requires that practical difficulties be demonstrated in
order for a variance to be granted. The difficulties must be unique to the property as variances run with the land
and not the land owner. Personal and economic situations are not considered valid practical di�culties. In order
for an application to be heard by the Planning Commission and City Council practical difficulties having merit must
be demonstrated.
HOW DO I PROVE A PRACTICAL DIFFICULTY?
This form has 12 points outlining the basis City staff uses to determine if practical difficulties exist and how the
variance will affect the surrounding community. To prove practical difficulties, address all the relevant points listed
below and answer them as clearly as possible.
Since you are requesting the code exception, you have the burden of proving that the variance is justified.
The information the City receives is what is used in determining a denial or approval recommendation. If you leave
�omething ouY it-will not b�-consi�er�d. - - - - - -
P/ease address each of the twelve practical difficulties criteria as fhey relate to the request, if they do not apply,
write N/A in fhe space provided:
1. "The property owner proposes to use the property in a reasonable manner not permitted by the Zoning Chapter."
�/�5
2. "The plight of the landowner is due to circumstances unique to his property not created by the landowner."
��r� 5
3. "The variance, if granted, will not alter the es�ential character of the locality.°
���
4. "Economic considerations alone do not constitute practical di�culties if reasonable use for the property exists
under the terms of the Zoning Chapter." �
5. "Practical difficulties include, but are not limited to, inadequate access to direct sunlight for solar energy
systems. Variances shall be granted for earth sheltered construction as defined in Minnesota Statutes,Section
116J.06, Subd. 2,when in harmony with this Chapter." �
6. "The Board of Appeals and Adjustments or the Council may not permit as a variance any use that is not allowed
under this Chapter for property in the zone where the affected person's land is located.°

� ;�e'' � � � ,
7. "The Board or Council may permit as a variance the tempora use of a one-family dwelling as a two-family
dwelling." �i�� �_�
8. "The special conditions applying to the structure or land in question are peculiar to such property or immediately
adjoining property.�
9. "The conditions do not apply generally to other land or structures in the district in which said land is located."
10. "The granting of the application is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a substantial property right
of the applicant."
11. "The granting of the proposed variance will not in any way impair health, safety, comfort, morals, or in any other
respect be contrary to the intent of the Zoning Code." � �
12. "The granting of such variance will not merely serve as a convenience to the applicant, but is necessary to
alleviate demonstrable difficulty." \� � �

granted a variance and declared buildable by this or some future
council, a connection charge in the amount equivalent to one 1985-1
sewer unit assessment shall become due and payable upon granting of the
variance; and
FURTHER, BE IT RESOLVED, that if PID #10-117-23 31 0068 at
some future date becomes a buildable site as a result of a change in the
zoning regulations a connection charge in the amount equivalent to a
1985-1 sewer unit assessment shall become due and payable upon
application for a building permit.
FURTHER, BE IT RESOLVED, should the zoning regulations
change at some future time to allow additional building sites on this
property, any additional buildable lots or sites created by such
changes will be subject to another full unit assessment charge to be
collected at the time a building permit is issued .
FURTHER, BE IT RESOLVED, that this document shall be filed in
the chain of title of the af f ected parcels in order to serve as notice to
potential future owners af the property regarding the City' s position
on sanitary sewer service. Failure to appear in the chain of title
does not negate the findings and conclusions of this resolution.

From: Alex and Amy Ware, 2587 Kelly Ave.
Re:#16-3827 Rick Denman/Cudd/DDK;2525 Kelly and 2535-2545 Shadywood
We appreciate the need for more housing in Orono and recognize the quality building reputation of Charles Cudd. However,this area of
Kelly Ave has been the subject of much development attention in the past few yeazs,and ultimately,in our view,this area is largely
unbuildable without significantly altering the character and quality of the neighborhood. The slope of the hillside is too steep to build upon
without major changes that will result in diminished values for the surrounding neighbors.
We have two areas of specific concern with the proposed project:
1)The deforestation and re-grading of the Kelly hillside leading to erosion,flooding,noise,loss of habitat and unsightly views of houses
instead of woods. The site plan shows that 3 of the 7 homes are to be built on the Kelly parcel which currently has 1 home/acre zoning. In
addition to the greater density,the hillside site has an elevation change of over 20 feet which will likely need to be regraded,thereby
eliminating virtually all of the woods that are now present on the property. Also the establishment of drainage ponds will further the
deforestation on the site,leading to greater annual flooding on Kelly due to the faulty drainage system in place. T'he potential for significant
screening of the homes by maintaining the woods would be best,but its unclear given the hillside pitch,how such screening would be
feasible. We fully realize that there is a need in Orono for the housing that they propose,but the Kelly pazcel is so steeply pitched that it is
not well suited for development.
2)The implications of re-zoning the Kelly parcel,which may set the precedent that allows further development of the hillside. The project
manager describes the rezoning request as unique to this pazcel,however will these zoning changes not create a domino effect?
I will not be able to attend the meeting on Monday as I'm out of town,but spoke with Jeremy regarding our concerns. Please let me know if
you have any questions on these concerns. Thank you all for your service to Orono and your consideration.

I concur with the Bauer's and Bonnie Lervik statements, as follows:
I urge the Planning Commission to NOT recommend rezoning of any of the properties at 2525
Kelly Ave and 2535-2545 Shadywood Road at the meeting on Monday, July 18. It should also be
made clear that any future development proposals must comply with current zoning of the
properties.
I have lived in this older, established neighborhood, on Lydiard Circle, for 32 years. The proposed
plan does not fit with our neighborhood and the surrounding area. This plan will negatively
impact our wetland areas, wildlife areas and the natural beauty of our neighborhood. In addition,
the proposal will add to traffic along County Road 19--already congested and dangerous. Any
future development must comply with the existing zoning.
The property owner, DDK, should not have purchased the property without awareness of the
zoning and acceptable uses.

Subject: 16-3847l2525 Kelly Avenue/2535 and 2545 Shadywood Road
I had fully intended to attend the planning council meeting on July 18 and speak. A family
scheduling conflict made that not possible. I intended to say this:
My name is Cathy Meagher. I live at 2720 Kelly Avenue. I have lived here since 1966. I
have sent emails to all of you and to all of the city council members so you are well
aware of my opposition to this proposal. I just want to reiterate in person that I am very
much against any combining and/or rezoning of the properties. 2525 Kelly Avenue is
zoned single family residential. It is in the middle of a neighborhood that is also
zoned single family residential. It should not be combined with the two Shadywood lots
only to be re-zoned and divided into seven lots.
Development of the Shadywood properties should not be tied into the Kelly Avenue
property. 2525 Kelly Avenue is a separate entity. 2525 Kelly Avenue is not part of any
area designated for higher density. I would hope the council would recognize this single
family residential lot should stay zoned as single family residential in keeping with the
surrounding neighborhood. I urge you not to allow this property to be re-zoned or
to be combined with the other two properties.
I hope that the fact I am not there to say this in person will not make my statement any less
meaningful.

Attachments: Legal Disclaimer.txt
Importance: High
Planning Commission:
I intend to come to the meeting tonight but in case another meeting I have runs late, I wanted to provide you
with the below feedback on the Shadywood Project being proposed. A
My name is Judy Fredrickson. I live at 2507 Kelly Avenue.
In general, I have a positive reaction to this development for 2 reasons:
1. Private Homes vs. Commercial -They are proposing single family homes vs. apartments or a commercial
development. I believe that Shadywood is already very busy and has not worked well for commercial use (few
businesses along 19/15 have survived over the years and much space is empty (former Snyder's Drug store for
example). It is not a shopping destination due to the heavy traffic on both roads as it nears the intersection. I
much prefer private homes for this location and they are in keeping with the surrounding neighborhood.
2. Quality of Builder/DevelOper-The builder/developer for this planned neighborhood is Charles Cudd and
through the years, I have toured several of their luxury homes and they do a beautiful job. IF they plan to
build these smaller homes with the same quality level, it would be a positive enhancement to the residential
surrounding area.
REZONING OF KELLY AVENUE LOT: I do have a concern with the rezoning the 2525 Kelly Avenue parcel as it is
currently zoned single family residential and if I am correct, 2525 Kelly Avenue and is not part of any area
designated for higher density. This parcel is in the middle of a neighborhood that is also zoned single family
residential.
As you well know, the Kelly Avenue neighborhood has had to attend countless Planning Commission and City
Council meetings to protect the single family nature of the Delaney property adjacent to Kelly Avenue that
was the site of many proposals over the last 18 months—most recently a 24 home project. On two different
occasions during this same time period, the City Council has come down on the side of protecting Kelly Avenue
and maintaining the single family, 1 acre per lot residential zoning for the Delaney property. I am concerned
that if you approve the rezoning of 2525 Kelly Avenue that this will set a precedent for future requests by
Mr. Delaney and he will want to try to fit multiple smaller homes on his property instead of the 1 acre,
single family development that we fought so hard for. The site plan seems to show that only 3 of the 7
homes are to be built on the Kelly parcel which currently has 1 home/acre zoning.
i
. My question is—what is the size of the 2525 Kelly Avenue parcel? If it is 3 acres, then 3 homes is fine by
me. If it is one acre for 3 homes,we are completely changing what the property adjacent to it and that
parcel currently is zoned for and I would like to see what the builder's response would be if he was asked to
rethink the development and maintain the Kelly Avenue plat as single family, one acre lots and put the
smaller homes with .25 acre lots on the Shadywood side? They could cluster smaller homes around a
couple of nice homes on the end of the development.
DEFORESTATION AND RE-GRADING OF KELLY HILLSIDE: I am concerned and want to hear more about the
environmental impact of this development due to the deforestation and re-grading of the Kelly
hillside. Concerns need to be addressed as to the potential that this leads to erosion, flooding, loss of habitat
and unsightly views of houses instead of woods. In addition to the greater density, the hillside site has an
elevation change of over 20 feet which will likely need to be regraded, thereby eliminating virtually all of the
woods that are now present on the property. With all of these trees removed, this can really change the
character of this entire neighborhood. This quiet, tree lined street of homes could now be looking up at the
backs of a lot of homes (just like people, not usually their most attractive side).
• The Kelly parcel is steeply pitched so that it is not well suited for development of multiple homes. l would
like to know how they intend on doing this project without clear cutting the entire property? Can they
somehow avoid doing this?
Thank you.

below, on the east side of the residence. The property abuts the creek that flows from Lake
Classen to Stubbs Bay which is a protected tributary and subject to a 75' structure setback as well
as the standard limitations on hardcover in the 0-75' zone. Portions of the existing house, deck
and patio are within 75' of the creek shoreline, which normally exists at approximately the 960'
contour, fluctuations being controlled by the dam further south just east of Leaf Street.
The existing house is two levels with a flat roof, and the proposed deck area reconfiguration will
retain that styling. The construction will be occurring almost entirely over existing patio, deck or
driveway hardcover, and no hardcover increase is proposed. The additional superstructure of
storage area enclosure and deck roof constitute new structure within 75' of the shoreline,
requiring a variance for hardcover conversion and structure within 75' of the creek.

APPLICABLE REGULATIONS
78-420: RR-1B Lot Standards&Setback Regulations
78-1279: Placement of Structures on Lots. For a tributary, structure setback for a sewered
property is 75 feet.
78-1680: Hardcover restriction zones. Within 75 feet of the ordinary high water level (OHWL)
of any lake or tributary, and within any bluff or shore impact zone, no hardcover shall be
placed, located or constructed, except for driveways, stairways, lifts, landings and lockboxes as
regulated by the shoreland overlay district.
78-1700: Specific tier regulations. (1) Tier 1 parcels. Hardcover shall not exceed 25 percent of
the gross lot area.
Governing Regulations:Variance(Sec. 78-123).
In reviewing applications for variance, the Planning Commission shall consider the effect of the
proposed variance upon the health, safety and welfare of the community, existing and anticipated
traffic conditions, light and air, danger of fire, risk to the public safety, and the effect on values of
property in the surrounding area. The Planning Commission shall consider recommending
approval for variances from the literal provisions of the Zoning Code in instances where their strict
enforcement would cause practical difficulties because of circumstances unique to the individual
property under consideration, and shall recommend approval only when it is demonstrated that
such actions will be in keeping with the spirit and intent of the Orono Zoning Code. Economic
considerations alone do not constitute practical difficulties. Practical difficulties also include but
. FILE#16-3846
July 13,2016
Page 3 of 5
are not limited to inadequate access to direct sunlight for solar energy systems. Variances shall
be granted for earth-sheltered construction as defined in Minn. Stat. § 216C.06, subd. 2, when in
harmony with this chapter. The board or the council may not permit as a variance any use that is
not permitted under this chapter for property in the zone where the affected person's land is
located. The board or council may permit as a variance the temporary use of a one-family
dwelling as a two-family dwelling.
According to MN §462.537 Subd. 6(2) variances shall only be permitted when (staff-suggested
findings are shown in bold type):
1. The variance is in harmony with the general intent and purpose of the Ordinance. Single-
family homes are an allowed use within the RR-16 zoning district, and the proposed
deck and storage area are common elements of single family homes.
2. The variance is consistent with the comprehensive plan. The proposed construction is
for a residential use which is consistent with the comprehensive plan guiding of this
and surrounding properties for residential use.
3. The applicant establishes that there are practical difficulties
a. The property owner proposes to use the property in a reasonable manner not
permitted by the official controls. The property owner is proposing to use the
property in a reasonable manner but the specific setback requirements of the
Zoning Code relative to hardcover and structure location result in the need for
variances in order to construct the deck and storage area.
b. There are circumstances unique to the property not created by the landowner.
The plight of the property owner is due to the location of the existing house,
deck and patio areas which based on available City records were created prior
to the 1992 establishment of setback and hardcover standards relative to the
tributary creek. The property owner did not create this situation. and
c. The variance will not alter the essential character of the locality. Reconfiguration
of the deck and storage area as proposed is not anticipated to alter the
character of the neighborhood, as the proposed additions are in an area of the
property that already is covered by structures, and the proposed additions are
not anticipated to be visually intrusive.
Additionally City Code 78-123 provides additional parameters within which a variance may be
granted as follows:
4. Practical difficulties also include but are not limited to inadequate access to direct
sunlight for solar energy systems. Variances shall be granted for earth-sheltered
construction as defined in Minn. Stat. § 216C.06, subd. 2, when in harmony with this
chapter. This is not applicable to this application.
5. The board or the council may not permit as a variance any use that is not permitted
under this chapter for property in the zone where the affected person's land is located.
This is not applicable to this application,as the residential use is a permitted use.
6. The board or council may permit as a variance the temporary use of a one-family
dwelling as a two-family dwelling. This is not applicable to this application.
7. Economic considerations alone do not constitute practical difficulties. Economic
considerations are not a factor in this variance request.
8. The special conditions applying to the structure or land in question are peculiar to such
property or immediately adjoining property. The conditions applicable to this property
are consistent with all properties that abut protected lakeshore and protected
tributaries in Orono. However, the condition of having existing hardcover and
structure within the 0-75' Shoreland setback zone is less common, and provides a basis
for approval of the variances that would otherwise not exist.
FILE#16-3846 ,
July 13,2016
Page 4 of 5
9. The conditions do not apply generally to other land or structures in the district in which
the land is located. The conditions apply to many other corner 100' wide lots in the
Crystal Bay neighborhood which as a result of the required setbacks would have only a
20' wide buildable envelope under RR-16 standards; but do not apply to a majority of
lots within the RR-16 district.
10. The granting of the application is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a
substantial property right of the applicant. The existing hardcover and structure are
considered to be nonconforming but became so when the Shoreland standards were
adopted in 1992. The applicant has the right to retain and maintain the existing deck
and patio. However, approval of variances will allow for additional storage below the
deck without having increasing any impact on hardcover or runoff from the site. The
proposed roof over the deck is anticipated to provide greater livability without any
new impacts on hardcover or runoff,and minimal if any impacts on the visual character
of the neighborhood.
11. The granting of the proposed variance will not in any way impair health, safety, comfort
or morals, or in any other respect be contrary to the intent of this chapter. Granting of
the variances would not impair health, safety, comfort or morals and would be in
keeping with the intent of the zoning code.
12. The granting of such variance will not merely serve as a convenience to the applicant,
but is necessary to alleviate demonstrable difficulty. The location of the existing home
and deck in relation to the creek is a practical difficulty, as adherence to the setback
requirements for structure and hardcover would disallow the intended upgrades and
merely allow replacement in kind of the existing deteriorating deck.
The Planning Commission may recommend and the Council may impose conditions in granting of
variances. Any conditions imposed must be directly related to and must bear a rough
proportionality to the impact created by the variance. No variance shall be granted or changed
beyond the use permitted in this chapter in the district where such land is located.
Variance Analysis
Staff has approached this application from the standpoint that construction of additions which
would expand the footprint of this residence in the 0-75' setback, or which would increase
hardcover within the 75' zone, would not be supportable. However, the applicants are proposing
to essentially replace the existing deck in its existing footprint, add a roof over it, create enclosed
storage under it, and not increase hardcover from the existing levels. Existing and proposed
hardcover at just under 16% is well below the 25% threshold for the site, and no additional
hardcover is being added in the 0-75' zone, so runofffrom the site is not expected to increase.
The only new structure footprint proposed is the 4' extension of the deck southward and the
stairway leading to the driveway. This constitutes 46 s.f. of added structural hardcover in the 0-
75' zone,while overall structural coverage on the lot will still be at only 5.5%, well below the 15%
limit.
The proposed roof over the reconfigured deck would appear to provide functionality while
enhancing the architectural styling of the existing residence. Because the proposed deck roof is
well below the 30' height limit, it is not expected to be visually intrusive from off-site. Staff
believes the character of the neighborhood will not change if the variances are granted.
Lots in the Swan Lake Addition (subdivided in 1959) which borders the creek, including homes on
Leaf Street and Cygnet Place, are typically %-1 acre in size. This area was developed prior to the
current 2-acre zoning. The dam that created a pond from what was initially a narrow creek, was
, FILE#16-3846
July 13,2016
Page 5 of 5
constructed between 1956 and 1960 based on available airphotos. At the time the applicants'
home was constructed, the City would have not had a 75' setback from the creek. Prior to 1992,
the creek would have been considered as a wetland for setback purposes, with a structure
setback requirement of 26' and no hardcover limitations.
Practical Difficulties Statement
Applicants have submitted the Practical Difficulties Documentation Form attached as Exhibit D,
and should be asked for additional testimony regarding the application.
Neighbor Comments
The applicants have provided statements of support from neighboring property owners to the
immediate north and directly across the creek (Exhibit 1).
Issues for Consideration
1. Does the Planning Commission find that that the property owner proposes to use the
property in a reasonable manner which is not permitted by an official control?
2. Does the Planning Commission find that the variances, if granted, will not alter the
essential character of the neighborhood?
3. If the Planning Commission concludes that the variances as requested are justified,
does the Commission find it necessary to impose conditions in order to mitigate the
impacts created by the granting of the variances?
4. Are there any other issues or concerns with this application?
Staff Recommendation
Staff recommends approval of the requested variances. If Planning Commission determines that
the practical difficulties test is met and the variances are justified, then a recommendation for
approval would be in order.

PRACTICAL DIFFICULTIES DOCUMENTATION FQRM
This form is a required submittal for ALL variance applications. An application will not be considered
complete or placed on any meeting agendas until this form is complete and submitted to the City.
Minnesota State Statutes Section 462.357, Subdivision 6(2) requires that practical difficulties be demonstrated in
order for a variance to be granted. The difficulties must be unique to the property as variances run with the land
and not the land owner. Personal and economic situations are not considered valid practical difficulties. In order
for an application to be heard by the Planning Commission and City Council practical difficulties having merit must
be demonstrated.
HOW DO I PROVE A PRACTICAL DIFFICULTY?
This form has 12 points outlining the basis City staff uses to determine if practical difficulties exist and how the
variance will affect the surrounding community. To prove practical difficulties, address all the relevant points listed
below and answer them as clearly as possible.
Since you are requesting the code exception, you have the burden of proving that the variance is justified.
The information the City receives is what is used in determining a denial or approval recommendation. If you leave
something out it will not be consider�d.
Please address each of the twelve practica! difficulties criteria as they relate to the request, if they do not apply,
write N/A in the space provided:
1. "The property owner proposes to use.the property in a reasonable manner not perrnitted by the Zoning Chapter."

systems. Variances shall be granted for earth sheltered construction as defined in Minnesota Statutes, Section
116J.06, Subd. 2, w en in harmony with this Chapter."

6. "The Board of Appeals and Adjustments or the Council may not permit as a variance any use that is not allowed

Dear City of Orono Planning and Zoning Department
We purchased the property located at 140 Leaf Street in February 2016 and we
are now looking to make some minor improvements. Our project is to fix our
deck and the goal is two fold. The first goal is to make our deck safe as the
current structure is rotting. The second is to make our home more visually
appealing by adding another dimension. To accomplish these goals we would
�ake to p�s� o��-�eck o�t #a�r�ee� into o�r c�riveway a�d add a roof. This sr�alJ
change will give our home a much better curb appeal from Leaf Street without
affecting our hard cover ratio.
We have shared our plans with the neighbors below and they have signed to
show that they are in full support of our clesign.
Thank you,
Gregg

1. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT
2008-2030 CommuniTy Management Plan. The proposed development incorporates 3 different
parcels. These three parcels are guided differently; the two eastern lots are guided mixed use, and
the westem lot is guided low density residential. The developer proposes to guide all three parcels
low density residential, though the proposed development is slightly higher in density than
suggested by that classification(3.28 units/acre versus 3.0 units per acre).
The proposed development density represents a reduction in proposed gross density from the
approved Comprehensive Plan. 4 units/acre on the east side to 3.28 units an acre(the western lot
remains the same). The actual density drops from 10.22 units planned in the guide plan to 7 units.
Impacts of Plan Amendment. Met Council guidelines require an overall new sewered
development density of at least 3 units per acre. The proposed project,with detached single family
homes is near the lowest density wbere the Met Council is likely to approve sanitary sewer service.
To achieve the 4 units an acre envisioned by the CMP,attached residential units would be expected
t, ,
'� ,'16-3847 Page 3
Shadywood Villas
July 18, 2016
and could include townhomes or apartments/ condominiums.
In recent conversations with Met Council staff, it has become clear that developing this specific
site(and others nearby guided similarly) at densities lower than the current CMP guided densities,
triggers a formal amendment of the CMP and an expectation that other developable properties be
reguided for higher density to offset the decrease. An analysis of Orono's current status as a result
of the applicant's proposal is attached as Exhibit K.
'The applicants presented a sketch plan to the Planning Commission in May 2016 and City Council
in June for a 7 unit development at this site. It appears there is some degree of support at the
Council level for the type and density of development proposed by the applicant, while
development at a higher density in the area has not gained much traction.
Issues for Consideration. In reviewing the amendment, Planning Commission should attempt to
set aside the details of the proposed development and look at the broader picture, consider the
following:
1) Does the amendment further the City's goals for development of higher density housing?
2) Are there specific aspects of this site that support a reduction of the density from the current
guided density?
3) Are there any negative aspects to reguiding this site for lower density?
4) Are there specific conditions that should be established as part of an approval of the
reguiding?
2. REZONING
It has been the City's practice to formally rezone properties as part of an approved project, at the
time of Final Plat. It is also recognized that the city's zoning ordinance must be consistent with
the Comprehensive Plan.
The applicant propose to rezone the subject parcels to Residential Planned Unit Development, or
RPUD.
The RPUD District contains detailed development standards with regards to lot size and setbacks;
building design; landscaping, screening and buffering; and trails and recreation; all of which will
be addressed in the following pages. The RPUD District also offers flexibility as a planned unit
development process, such that approved departures from the standards are considered as elements
of the RPUD zoning rather than as variances. Note that the property does not meet the minimum
size requirement of 5 acres,but does meet the location standards to be eligible for RPUD rezoning.
3. PRELIMINARY PLAT REVIEW
Conformity with Zoning District Standards
In relation to the RPUD standards, there are specific guidelines for detached single family
development in Zoning Code Section 78-626(8) - see Exhibit L The RPUD standards as written
for detached single family use do not accommodate the type of smaller, narrow lot style of
development that is proposed. However, the concept of a planned unit development process is to
allow flexibility in design. Section 78-626(16) provides for flexibility in RPUD standards, as
�J
16-3847 Page c '�
Shadywood Villas
July 18,2016
follows:
(16) Flexibility. The uniqueness of each RPUD requires that specifications and standards for
streets, utilities, public facilities and subdivisions may be subject to modification from the city
ordinances ordinarily governing them. The city council may therefare approve streets, utilities,
public facilities and land subdivisions which are not in compliance with usual specifications or
ordinance requirements, if it finds that strict adherence to such standards or requirements is not
required to meet the intent of this section or to protect the health, safety or welfare of the residents
of the RPUD, the surrounding area or the city as a whole.
This proposed development concept will require a significant departure (flexibility) from the
RPUD district lot standards for individual homesites. The table below identifies specific standards
which would require flexibility:

Relationship to Surrounding Development
The subject parcel in many ways represents a transition between the commercial and institutional
uses along Shadywood and the residential uses on Lydiard Circle/Avenue to the south, and Kelly
Avenue to the west. The proposed development will have little to no interaction with the adjacent
residential neighborhoods as there are no vehicular connections or trails out of the property to the
south, north, or west. The portion of the project adjacent to Kelly Avenue is currently a wetland,
there are no plans to impact this wetland, other than mitigation of invasive plant material.
Conservation Design
The applicants have submitted a Conservation Development report prepared by ISG pursuant to
the City's Conservation Design ordinances. The executive summary is attached (Exhibit E), a
full copy is available on the cities website. Key elements of the report include a review of the
16-3847

Rural Oasis Study of which this site is an Edged Enclosure Corridor;Natural Resources Inventory
including review of the MLCCS Land Cover Classification data, wetland delineations (to be
approved by the MCWD), tree inventory, and review of existing drainage patterns.
Wetlands on Site and/or Impacted
The western 1/3 of the project area is a Manage 3 wetland, which requires a 20 foot buffer. There
are no plans to impact this wetland other than mitigate the invasive reed canary grass.
A 35' buffer setback is proposed greater than the minimum required 20 foot = 10 foot additional
buffer. The City will require a Conservation and Flowage Easement over the wetlands being
preserved.
Tree and/or Woodland Impacts
A significant portion of the eastern half of the project area was clear cut in 2012. Remaining trees
can be found along the edges of the project area, and on the slope above the wetland. Volunteer
shrubs or plants can be found in the center of the development area. The developer proposes to
preserve existing significant trees to the extent possible (see Tree Stand Map Inventory, Exhibit
M), the best trees are generally in the NE corner of the site, to be impacted by the planned road
connection. The grading plan and the tree preservation plan will need to be carefully analyzed to
ensure they are compatible and consistent.
Archaeological Site Proximity
Staff is unaware of any archaeological sites within the property; the applicant should contact the
State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) to confirm.
Lot Layout and Lot Standards
The layout of the site is dictated by a number of factors, including:
- location of wetlands;
- collector roadway on the east side;
- the need to locate road access points in a location to benefit adjacent parcels and
efficiently use the subject property
The applicants have proposed a plan that takes into account these factors. The result is a site layout
with one road off of Shadywood Road. No accesses are proposed onto Kelly Avenue. Staff has
suggested that access control be deeded to Hennepin County and shown on the plat, to further
inform the buyer of Lot 1 that no driveway will be permitted.
Rear Yard Setbacks. The rear yards range in depth from 25 feet to over 280 feet, with the lots
closer to existing residential ranging from 25 to 87 feet. Landscaping/berming is expected along
the frontage of these lots to provide for buffering of the residences.
Lot Widths and Side Yard Setbacks. The lots range in width from 50 to 70 feet wide, allowing for
the house and 7 foot setbacks on either side. Lots 1-4 show 14 feet between the houses, with
greater separation provided between the houses on lots 5-7.
Front Setbacks. Front yard setbacks as measured from the front lot line are proposed at 20 feet
(lots 1-4 and 7) and 58 and 33 for lots 5 and 6, respectively. No sidewalks are proposed. The 20
foot minimum provides space for cars (1 deep) to be parked on the driveway and not encroach into
the street.

Lot Covera�e vs. Floor Area Ratio (FAR). Zoning Code Section 78-1403 establishes the 15% Lot
Coverage limit for lots less than 2 acres in area all zoning districts; it doesn't make an exception
for RPUD. However, the RPUD District does not specifically establish a `Lot Coverage by
Structures' limit. Instead, the RPUD standards limit individual lots to 50% hardcover and an
individual lot Floor Area Ratio (FAR = gross area of all floors divided by rg_oss lot area) of 0.5.
This means a 14,000 s.f. lot is allowed 7,000 s.f. of total floor space. The proposed single level
homes in a 37' x 70 footprint (2500 sq ft) on the proposed lots would yield a range of FAR from
.04 (lot 6) to 0.32 (lot 4), all meeting the 0.50 FAR limit.
Hardcover. By virtue of the RPUD zoning, per 78-1701(4)(a) the property is assigned to
Hardcover Protection Tier 4, which allows up to 50% hardcover of the gross lot area. Only the
smallest of the proposed lots would appear to approach that limit.
Site Grading
The development area is generally flat, with highest elevations in the northeast corner, and lowest
at the wetland along Kelly Avenue. The majority of the development is proposed to occur on the
eastern side of the property. Homes are proposed to be walkouts; excavation and filling will be
necessary. The City Engineer's review will need to include gading impacts to adjacent properties,
and trees to be preserved.
Road Layout and Standards
The internal road serving the development is proposed to be public. This is in line with the
provisions of the CMP Transportation Plan in Urban Transportation Policies, which states:
1. Local streets in the urban area will be owned and maintained by the City. Because the
land use and street use density of the urban neighborhoods is relatively high, the City will
provide public street access to all urban properties. City responsibility for proper
maintenance levels will ensure passable, all-weather streets available at all times for
emergency vehicles and for general public ingress and egress.
The proposed road is approximately 220 feet long, terminating in a cul de sac. The County will
need to approve the location of the drive, though preliminary discussions with the County support
the proposed location.
The preliminary plat has been forwarded to the Fire Chief for comment with regard to access for
fire department vehicles, the cul de sac diameter is consistent with city ordinances.
The proposed road is 28' in paved width(back-of-curb to back-of-curb)located within a 50' platted
corridor, meeting the City's standard for a public road system [Code Section 82-281(d)(2)].
The developer will pay all costs of road construction and utility installation/ connection.
County Road Improvements and/or Easements
The county has provided comments, included as Exhibit N. No turns lanes are required nor
proposed. Based on the number of lots, staff does not believe a traffic study is necessary, thought
the Planning Commission and Council could require one.
The County requests additional right of way for a future trail and Shadywood road improvements.
This additional right of way will impact the configuration of the project. Lastly,the County desires
verification of adequate site distance to the left.
t, . , �
16-3847 Page 7
Shadywood Villas
July 18, 2016
Standard perimeter drainage and utility easements around all property boundaries as well as
conservation and flowage easements over the delineated wetlands will be required. A number of
drainage easements are shown on the plat drawings as necessary to direct stormwater runoff.
Existing easements will need to be vacated.
Parks, Trails, Sidewalks
As noted above, no trails or sidewalks are proposed with this development. The CMP suggests a
future trail along Shadywood. Hennepin County and Three Rivers Park District have talked about
adding trails along Shadywood, though plans have not progessed to suggest which side.
10%Private Recreation Area Requirement. RPUD standards require that 10%of the development
site be provided as a private recreation area or open space to serve the residents of the development.
The wetlands which encompass a significant portion of the development certainly act as open
space, but they are not accessible for recreation purposes because the wetlands are placed within
individual lots rather than as a separate commons area. The Planning Commission should discuss
the need for a private recreational area.
Park Dedication
In addition to the creation of a private recreation area to serve the development residents, the City
Code requires dedication of 8% of the land as public park, or payment of the equivalent value in
cash. No Park Commission meeting is scheduled until September, after this item is expected to be
reviewed by the Council, unless delayed. Assuming the City Council finds no need for a public
park at this site, payment of the standard Park Dedication fee for 7 new building lots would be
appropriate; the current fee ranges from a minimum of$3,250 and a maximum of$5,550 per lot,
for a potential total fee of$22,750 to $38,850. The nearest public open space is the Lydiard beach
area, south of the site. The Planning Commission should discuss the need for sidewalks within the
development, and/or connections to the public beach.
RPUD Landscaping Requirements
The proposed landscaping plans have not been received nor reviewed as to compliance with the
very detailed RPUD landscaping requirements. This evaluation will proceed upon confirmation
of a final site layout.
The plan shows a fence along the berm on Lot 1, along Shadywood. A detail of the fence should
be provided.
Stormwater and Drainage Improvements & Fees
Applicants have submitted detailed grading and drainage plans and calculations, which the City's
consulting engineers are reviewing to ensure the City's requirements are met. A majority of the
runoff will be directed to three stormwater ponding areas, two of which discharge to the wetland.
The property will be subject to the Stormwater and Drainage Trunk Fee. Recent Council action to
revise the Trunk Fee provisions would result in a fee(for development at 4.0 units per acre or less)
of$7,275 per acre (2016 Fee Schedule), based on non-wetland acreage, for an estimated Trunk
Fee of 2.34 acres x $7,275/acre = $17,024.00. The grading plan has not been reviewed in
conjunction with the tree preservation plan to ensure that tree retention is maximized.

A gravity sanitary sewer line runs along the south property line, feeding a lift station on the north
side of Shadywood Road. Water is available, also on the north side of Shadywood Road. It
appears that Sewer and Water connection charges have already been paid, though each unit will
pay individual SAC charges at the time of building permit.
City Engineer Comments
The city engineer is currently reviewing the development plans and comments will be incorporated
into the final preliminary platy.
Style and Appearance of Proposed Homes
The applicants have provided conceptual depictions of elevation views and floor plans for the
proposed homes. Planning Commission should review these (Exhibit F) and determine whether
there are any concerns.
Public Comment
To date staff has received written comments on the project, attached in Exhibit L. The developer
also plans an open house with the neighborhood on Saturday, July 16`h. Staff will not attend this
open house.
Summary of Issues for Consideration
Staff suggests that the primary focus for consideration and discussion by the Planning Commission
should include the following topics:
Comprehensive Plan Amendment
1. Applicants propose development at a density of 3.28 units per acre rather than the 4-15
units per acre for which the eastern half of the property is guided, and have requested a
Comprehensive Plan Amendment to allow the lower density.
- Should the City be striving for more density or less density at this location?
- Is the single-family concept right for this area? Does it match the City's goals in
terms of housing type and density?
- Will the City benefit from a development, such as this? Should the entire property
be developed in this manner, or should this site incorporate more than one style of
houses?
In general, the responses to these questions during prior reviews has been that the
proposed development density is acceptable. If that is the case today, a Planning
Commission recommendation for approval of the Comprehensive Plan Amendment is
appropriate.
Rezoning from B-4 and LR-IA to RPUD
2. Planning Commission should consider whether RPUD is the appropriate rezoning option
for this development. Staff believes RPUD is the only viable option for development of
this parcel in the manner proposed by the applicants and the CMP.
P�•eliminary Plat Review
3. Is the Commission comfortable with the level of flexibility requested, recognizing that
t , , �
16-3847
Page 9
Shadywood Villas
July 18, 2016
RPUD standards requires a significant level of development flexibility. Does Planning
Commission have any concerns about the lot widths, setbacks or other RPUD standards
for which flexibility is required in this proposal?
4. Is the Commission comfortable moving the project forward, recognizing that the
landscaping plan, engineering and storm-water management plans have not been fully
vetted.
5. Should trails or sidewalks be provided to connect this neighborhood with the community
at large?
6. Is it imperative that 10% private open space be provided by the developer?
7. Are there any other issues or concerns with this application?
Staff Recommendation
This development proposal exhibits a significant level of refinement as a result of the developer's
response to issues raised during the Sketch Plan Review process and primary Staff comments.
Discussion of the above topics and any conclusions reached by the Planning Commission should
provide applicant and staff with direction as to whether or how the proposed plat should be further
revised. Any remaining topics left unaddressed to date should be brought up for discussion.
The Planning Commission may recommend approval or denial of the three actions requested or
any combination thereof. If denial is recommended, reasons should be given.
The Planning Commission may also choose to table the application, allowing the developer and
staff to address any issues raised.
Should the Commission wish to approve the applications, the following conditions are suggested:
Comprehensive Plan Amendment, with the direction that that the City should identify alternate
sites for higher density development.
Rezoning to RPUD, to be formally approved at the time of final plat approval.
Preliminary plat approval subject to the following conditions:
1. Flexibility being granted for the lot area,width and setback standards of the RPUD District.
Hardcover will be limited to the assigned Tier 4 level of 50% on each individual lot. The
0.50 FAR shall be adhered to on each individual lot.
2. Development shall be subject to adherence to the findings included in the Conservation
Design report, also subject to removal of buckthorn on the site.
3. Significant trees to be preserved to the extent possible and as shown on the landscaping
plans.
4. Applicant to confirm with SHPO that that there are no archaeological sites within the
property.
5. Preliminary plat to be reviewed by Park Commission and Fire Chief for comments and
recommendations prior to Council review of preliminary plat.

6. 10%private recreational space requirement will not be enforced.
7. Park Dedication Fees and Storm Water&Drainage Trunk Fees,as well as municipal sewer
and water connection charges, all as noted in staff inemo, to be collected in full at the time
of final plat approval.
8. Vacation of easements as appropriate through the site

1. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT
2008-2030 Community Management Plan. The proposed development incorporates 3 different
parcels. These three parcels are guided differently; the two eastern lots are guided mixed use, and
the western lot is guided low density residentiaL The developer proposes to guide all three parcels
low density residential, though the proposed development is slightly higher in density than
suggested by that classification (3.28 units/ acre versus 3.0 units per acre).
The proposed development density represents a reduction in proposed gross density from the
approved Comprehensive Plan. 4 units/acre on the east side to 3.28 units an acre (the western lot
remains the same). The actual density drops from 1022 units planned in the guide plan to 7 units.
Impacts of Plan Amendment. Met Council guidelines require an overall new sewered
development density of at least 3 units per acre. The proposed project, with detached single family
homes is near the lowest density where the Met Council is likely to approve sanitary sewer service.
To achieve the 4 units an acre envisioned by the CMP,attached residential units would be expected
16-3847 Page 3
Shadywood Villas
July 18, 2016
and could include townhomes or apartments/ condominiums.
In recent conversations with Met Council staff, it has become clear that developing this specific
site(and others nearby guided similarly) at densities lower than the current CMP guided densities,
triggers a formal amendment of the CMP and an expectation that other developable properties be
reguided for higher density to offset the decrease. An analysis of Orono's current status as a result
of the applicant's proposal is attached as Exhibit K.
The applicants presented a sketch plan to the Planning Commission in May 2016 and City Council
in June for a 7 unit development at this site. It appears there is some degree of support at the
Council level for the type and density of development proposed by the applicant, while
development at a higher density in the area has not gained much traction.
Issues for Consideration. In reviewing the amendment, Planning Commission should attempt to
set aside the details of the proposed development and look at the broader picture, consider the
following:
1) Does the amendment further the City's goals for development of higher density housing?
2) Are there specific aspects of this site that support a reduction of the density from the current
guided density?
3) Are there any negative aspects to reguiding this site for lower density?
4) Are there specific conditions that should be established as part of an approval of the
reguiding?
2. REZONING
It has been the City's practice to formally rezone properties as part of an approved project, at the
time of Final Plat. It is also recognized that the city's zoning ordinance must be consistent with
the Comprehensive Plan.
The applicant propose to rezone the subject parcels to Residential Planned Unit Development, or
RPUD.
The RPUD District contains detailed development standards with regards to lot size and setbacks;
building design; landscaping, screening and buffering; and trails and recreation; all of which will
be addressed in the following pages. The RPUD District also offers flexibility as a planned unit
development process, such that approved departures from the standards are considered as elements
of the RPUD zoning rather than as variances. Note that the property does not meet the minimum
size requirement of 5 acres,but does meet the location standards to be eligible for RPUD rezoning.
3. PRELIMINARY PLAT REVIEW
Conformity with Zoning District Standards
In relation to the RPUD standards, there are specific guidelines for detached single family
development in Zoning Code Section 78-626(8) - see Exhibit L The RPUD standards as written
for detached single family use do not accommodate the type of smaller, narrow lot style of
development that is proposed. However, the concept of a planned unit development process is to
allow flexibility in design. Section 78-626(16) provides for flexibility in RPUD standards, as
16-3847 Page 4
Shadywood Villas
July 18, 2016
follows:
(16) Flexibility. The uniqueness of each RPUD requires that specifications and standards for
streets, utilities, public facilities and subdivisions may be subject to modification from the city
ordinances ordinarily governing them. The city council may therefore approve streets, utilities,
public facilities and land subdivisions which are not in compliance with usual specifications or
ordinance requirements, if it finds that strict adherence to such standards or requirements is not
required to meet the intent of this section or to protect the health, safety or welfare of the residents
of the RPUD,the surrounding area or the city as a whole.
This proposed development concept will require a significant departure (flexibility) from the
RPUD district lot standards for individual homesites. The table below identifies specific standards
which would require flexibility:

Relationship to Surrounding Development
The subject parcel in many ways represents a transition between the commercial and institutional
uses along Shadywood and the residential uses on Lydiard Circle/Avenue to the south, and Kelly
Avenue to the west. The proposed development will have little to no interaction with the adjacent

A significant portion of the eastern half of the project area was clear cut in 2012. Remaining trees
can be found along the edges of the project area, and on the slope above the wetland. Volunteer
shrubs or plants can be found in the center of the development area. The developer proposes to
preserve existing significant trees to the extent possible (see Tree Stand Map Inventory, Exhibit
M), the best trees are generally in the NE corner of the site, to be impacted by the planned road
connection. The gading plan and the tree preservation plan will need to be carefully analyzed to
ensure they are compatible and consistent.
Archaeological Site Proximity
Staff is unaware of any archaeological sites within the property; the applicant should contact the
State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) to confirm.
Lot Layout and Lot Standards
The layout of the site is dictated by a number of factors, including:
- location of wetlands;
- collector roadway on the east side;
- the need to locate road access points in a location to benefit adjacent parcels and
efficiently use the subject property
The applicants have proposed a plan that takes into account these factors. The result is a site layout

inform the buyer of Lot 1 that no driveway will be permitted.
Rear Yard Setbacks. The rear yards range in depth from 25 feet to over 280 feet, with the lots
closer to existing residential ranging from 25 to 87 feet. Landscaping/berming is expected along
the frontage of these lots to provide for buffering of the residences.
Lot Widths and Side Yard Setbacks. The lots range in width from 50 to 70 feet wide, allowing for
the house and 7 foot setbacks on either side. Lots 1-4 show 14 feet between the houses, with
greater separation provided between the houses on lots 5-7.
Front Setbacks. Front yard setbacks as measured from the front lot line are proposed at 20 feet
(lots 1-4 and 7) and 58 and 33 for lots 5 and 6, respectively. No sidewalks are proposed. The 20
foot minimum provides space for cars (1 deep)to be parked on the driveway and not encroach into
the street.

Lot Coverage vs. Floor Area Ratio (FAR). Zoning Code Section 78-1403 establishes the 15% Lot
Coverage limit for lots less than 2 acres in area all zoning districts; it doesn't make an exception
for RPUD. However, the RPUD District does not specifically establish a `Lot Coverage by
Structures' limit. Instead, the RPUD standards limit individual lots to 50% hardcover and an
individual lot Floor Area Ratio (FAR = gross area of all floors divided by gross lot area) of 0.5.
This means a 14,000 s.f. lot is allowed 7,000 s.f. of total floor space. The proposed single level
homes in a 37' x 70 footprint (2500 sq ft) on the proposed lots would yield a range of FAR from
.04 (lot 6) to 0.32 (lot 4), all meeting the 0.50 FAR limit.
Hardcover. By virtue of the RPUD zoning, per 78-1701(4)(a) the property is assigned to
Hardcover Protection Tier 4, which allows up to 50% hardcover of the gross lot area. Only the
smallest of the proposed lots would appear to approach that limit.
Site Grading
The development area is generally flat, with highest elevations in the northeast corner, and lowest
at the wetland along Kelly Avenue. The majority of the development is proposed to occur on the
eastern side of the property. Homes are proposed to be walkouts; excavation and filling will be
necessary. The City Engineer's review will need to include gading impacts to adjacent properties,
and trees to be preserved.
Road Layout and Standards
The internal road serving the development is proposed to be public. This is in line with the
provisions of the CMP Transportation Plan in Urban Transportation Policies, which states:
1. Local streets in the urban area will be owned and maintained by the Ciry. Because the
land use and street use density of the urban neighborhoods is relatively high, the City will
provide public street access to all urban properties. City responsibiliry for proper
maintenance levels will ensure passable, all-weather streets available at all times for
emergency >>ehicles and for general public ingress and egress.
The proposed road is approximately 220 feet long, terminating in a cul de sac. The County will
need to approve the location of the drive, though preliminary discussions with the County support
the proposed location.
The preliminary plat has been forwarded to the Fire Chief for comment with regard to access for
fire department vehicles, the cul de sac diameter is consistent with city ordinances.
The proposed road is 28' in paved width(back-of-curb to back-of-curb)located within a 50' platted
corridor, meeting the City's standard for a public road system [Code Section 82-281(d)(2)].
The developer will pay all costs of road construction and utility installation/ connection.
County Road Improvements and/or Easements
The county has provided comments, included as Exhibit N. No turns lanes are required nor
proposed. Based on the number of lots, staff does not believe a traffic study is necessary, thought
the Planning Commission and Council could require one.
The County requests additional right of way for a future trail and Shadywood road improvements.
This additional right of way will impact the configuration of the project. Lastly,the County desires
verification of adequate site distance to the left.
16-3847 Page 7
Shadywood Villas
July 18, 2016
Standard perimeter drainage and utility easements around all property boundaries as well as
conservation and flowage easements over the delineated wetlands will be required. A number of
drainage easements are shown on the plat drawings as necessary to direct stormwater runoff.
Existing easements will need to be vacated.
Parks, Trails, Sidewalks
As noted above, no trails or sidewalks are proposed with this development. The CMP suggests a
future trail along Shadywood. Hennepin County and Three Rivers Park District have talked about
adding trails along Shadywood, though plans have not progessed to suggest which side.
10%Private Recreation Area Requirement. RPUD standards require that 10%of the development
site be provided as a private recreation area or open space to serve the residents of the development.
The wetlands which encompass a significant portion of the development certainly act as open
space, but they are not accessible for recreation purposes because the wetlands are placed within
individual lots rather than as a separate commons area. The Planning Commission should discuss
the need for a private recreational area.
Park Dedication
In addition to the creation of a private recreation area to serve the development residents, the City
Code requires dedication of 8% of the land as public park, or payment of the equivalent value in
cash. No Park Commission meeting is scheduled until September, after this item is expected to be
reviewed by the Council, unless delayed. Assuming the City Council finds no need for a public
park at this site, payment of the standard Park Dedication fee for 7 new building lots would be
appropriate; the current fee ranges from a minimum of$3,250 and a maximum of$5,550 per lot,
for a potential total fee of$22,750 to $38,850. The nearest public open space is the Lydiard beach
area, south of the site. The Planning Commission should discuss the need for sidewalks within the
development, and/or connections to the public beach.
RPUD Landscaping Requirements
The proposed landscaping plans have not been received nor reviewed as to compliance with the
very detailed RPUD landscaping requirements. This evaluation will proceed upon confirmation
of a final site layout.
The plan shows a fence along the berm on Lot 1, along Shadywood. A detail of the fence should
be provided.
Stormwater and Drainage Improvements & Fees
Applicants have submitted detailed grading and drainage plans and calculations, which the City's
consulting engineers are reviewing to ensure the City's requirements are met. A majority of the
runoff will be directed to three stormwater ponding areas, two of which discharge to the wetland.
The property will be subject to the Stormwater and Drainage Trunk Fee. Recent Council action to
revise the Trunk Fee provisions would result in a fee(for development at 4.0 units per acre or less)
of$7,275 per acre (2016 Fee Schedule), based on non-wetland acreage, for an estimated Trunk
Fee of 2.34 acres x $7,275/acre = $17,024.00. The grading plan has not been reviewed in
conjunction with the tree preservation plan to ensure that tree retention is maximized.
Utility Locations/Availability/Assessments/Connection Fees
16-3847 Page 8
Shadywood Villas
July 18, 2016
A gavity sanitary sewer line runs along the south property line, feeding a lift station on the north
side of Shadywood Road. Water is available, also on the north side of Shadywood Road. It
appears that Sewer and Water connection charges have already been paid, though each unit will
pay individual SAC charges at the time of building permit.
City Engineer Comments
The city engineer is currently reviewing the development plans and comments will be incorporated
into the final preliminary platy.
Style and Appearance of Proposed Homes
The applicants have provided conceptual depictions of elevation views and floor plans for the
proposed homes. Planning Commission should review these (Exhibit F) and determine whether
there are any concerns.
Public Comment
To date staff has received written comments on the project, attached in Exhibit L. The developer
also plans an open house with the neighborhood on Saturday, July 16th. Staff will not attend this
open house.
Summary of Issues for Consideration
Staff suggests that the primary focus for consideration and discussion by the Planning Commission
should include the following topics:
Comprehensive Plan Amendment
1. Applicants propose development at a density of 3.28 units per acre rather than the 4-15
units per acre for which the eastern half of the property is guided, and have requested a
Comprehensive Plan Amendment to allow the lower density.
- Should the City be striving for more density or less density at this location?
- Is the single-family concept right for this area? Does it match the City's goals in
terms of housing type and density?
- Will the City benefit from a development, such as this? Should the entire property
be developed in this manner, or should this site incorporate more than one style of
houses?
In general, the responses to these questions during prior reviews has been that the
proposed development density is acceptable. If that is the case today, a Planning
Commission recommendation for approval of the Comprehensive Plan Amendment is
appropriate.
Rezoning from B-4 and LR-IA to RPUD
2. Planning Commission should consider whether RPUD is the appropriate rezoning option
for this development. Staff believes RPUD is the only viable option for development of
this parcel in the manner proposed by the applicants and the CMP.
Preliminary Plat Review
3. Is the Commission comfortable with the level of flexibility requested, recognizing that
16-3847
� Page 9
Shadywood Villas
July 18, 2016
RPUD standards requires a significant level of development flexibility. Does Planning
Commission have any concerns about the lot widths, setbacks or other RPUD standards
for which flexibility is required in this proposal?
4. Is the Commission comfortable moving the project forward, recognizing that the
landscaping plan, engineering and storm-water management plans have not been fully
vetted.
5. Should trails or sidewalks be provided to connect this neighborhood with the community
at large?
6. Is it imperative that 10% private open space be provided by the developer?
7. Are there any other issues or concerns with this application?
Staff Recommendation
This development proposal exhibits a significant level of refinement as a result of the developer's
response to issues raised during the Sketch Plan Review process and primary Staff comments.
Discussion of the above topics and any conclusions reached by the Planning Commission should
provide applicant and staff with direction as to whether or how the proposed plat should be further
revised. Any remaining topics left unaddressed to date should be brought up for discussion.
The Planning Commission may recommend approval or denial of the three actions requested or
any combination thereo£ If denial is recommended, reasons should be given.
The Planning Commission may also choose to table the application, allowing the developer and
staff to address any issues raised.
Should the Commission wish to approve the applications, the following conditions are suggested:
Comprehensive Plan Amendment, with the direction that that the City should identify alternate
sites for higher density development.
Rezoning to RPUD, to be formally approved at the time of final plat approval.
Preliminary plat approval subject to the following conditions:
1. Flexibility being ganted for the lot area,width and setback standards of the RPUD District.
Hardcover will be limited to the assigned Tier 41eve1 of 50% on each individual lot. The
0.50 FAR shall be adhered to on each individual lot.
2. Development shall be subject to adherence to the findings included in the Conservation
Design report, also subject to removal of buckthorn on the site.
3. Significant trees to be preserved to the extent possible and as shown on the landscaping
plans.
4. Applicant to confirm with SHPO that that there are no archaeological sites within the
property.
5. Preliminary plat to be reviewed by Park Commission and Fire Chief for comments and
recommendations prior to Council review of preliminary plat.
16-3847 Page 10

July 18, 2016
6. 10%private recreational space requirement will not be enforced.
7. Park Dedication Fees and Storm Water&Drainage Trunk Fees, as well as municipal sewer
and water connection charges, all as noted in staff inemo, to be collected in full at the time
of final plat approval.
8. Vacation of easements as appropriate through the site
9. Provision of drainage and conservation easement over wetland.

PC Exhibit B
Narrative for the SHADYWOOD VILLAS—Orono by Charles Cudd Co LLC
We are proposing a residential detached villa neighborhood that offers a carefree luxury living
opportunity for the empty nester market.These beautifully designed Villa homes would offer main floor
living featuring the master bedroom on the main level as well as the primary living areas like kitchen,
great rooms,sunporches,decks, dining room, bathrooms, laundry and mudrooms all easily accessible on
the main floor.The homes will also have the potential to finish recreation space,game room,exercise
room,and 2 additional bedrooms and a full bath on the walkout lower level.
We feel there is an excellent demand for this new home lifestyle design.The aging baby boomer market
desires to downsize from their larger 2-story homes and are looking for a better designed and detailed
alternative with more luxury and privacy than a condo or attached townhome.The detached Villa home
concept also offers the advantage of low maintained living with a homeowners association providing
lawn care,trash and snow removal services.

The purpose and intent of this conservation design is to meet the goals of the City of Orono's
Environmental Protection and Natural Resource Management as specified in the Community
Management Plan (CMP). In general, these goals pertain to water quality, wetland protection, and
preservation and the enhancement of the "rural character" of the City. Emphasis is also placed on the
preservation of open spaces in Orono. These open areas include, but are not limited to, woodlands,
wetlands, and wildlife habitat. Additionally, the City of Orono's Zoning Code further describes the intent
of the conservation design as to reinforce and establish ecological connections throughout the City and
preserve and improve the aesthetic views of Orono.
Subcategories that are listed within the Environmental Protection section of the CMP help to detail more
specific individual goals and guidelines which can be related to the overall goals listed above. Pertinent
to this project, the subcategories emphasize development densities, which require no less than two
acres per one home. This regulation is enforced in order to maintain the historic identity and character
of Orono. Low density developments will assist with the preservation of open spaces and, from a sewer
and water systems standpoint, will protect groundwater and surrounding lakes and other surface waters.
It is also emphasized that the primary method of sewage treatment and disposal will be used through
municipal sanitary systems.
Goals for Environmental Protection and Natural Resource Management as specified in the Community
Management Plan pertain to water quality and wetland protection and preservation and enhancement
of the '�rural character" of the City. Seven lots, one outlout, and a wetland conservation easement are
proposed for the 3.67 acre site. The proposed lots range in size from 0.18 to 0.38 acres and the outlot
is proposed to be 0.35 acres. Homes will be situated such that there will be negligible effect on the
existing trees with five of the seven proposed homes placed within a clear-cut area that occurred in
2012. According to the proposed construction plans on Figure 3, Lots 6 and 7 will impact a portion of
Tree Stand Area 1, shown on Figure 1. Area 1 is a low quality tree stand dominated by green ash and
boxelder. It is currently proposed that 13 trees (all green ash and boxeider) will be impacted by the
home and driveway of lot 6 and 16 trees (75% green ash and boxelder, 25% hackberry and American
elm) will be impacted by the home and driveway of Lot 7. Wetland impacts will be avoided altogether
and buffers around them will be implemented.
The existing landscape is a mixture of grassland, wetland, scattered trees, and small woodlots. The
north portion of the project area was clear-cut in 2012, and has since been taken over by herbaceous
species and woody shrubs. The open grassland area is now dominated by goldenrod, bull and Canada
thistle, smooth brome, stinging nettle, milkweed, burdock, and ground ivy. The young trees and shrubs
that are dominating the open clear-cut area are buckthorn and sumac.
Shadywood Villas Conservation Design Page 1
The forest stand that runs through the middle of the property (northwest to southeast) and the trees
along the edges of the project area consist of green ash, boxelder, American elm, sugar maple, red oak,
hickory, hackberry, basswood, cottonwood, white oak, and white spruce. Green ash and boxelder make
up 72 percent of the surveyed trees in the project area
The dominant vegetation in the wetland community of the property is cattails with a reed canary grass
edge. No rare, threatened, or endangered plants were observed when a wetland delineation and tree
survey were completed in May and June of 2016.
The subject property is located adjacent to the Shadywood Road — Edged Enclosure Corridor described
in the Rural Oasis Study was determined for the site. The portion of Shadywood Road closest to the
subject parcel is identified as varied enclosure, with portions of the northeast edged with mature trees,
and parts are open with a view into the subject property from Shadywood Road. The view of the subject
property on the south side from Kelly Road is edged with wetland, sparsely forested areas, and a house
with garage visible from the road, but is outside the subject area.
The adjacent property to the southeast is wooded residential homes that have an edge enclosure of
mature trees between the neighborhood and the subject property. The property to the northwest is
Baywind Christian Church. This property contains varied enclosures to the subject property.
In general, there appears to be an even combination of positive and negative views from Shadywood
Road. Two adjacent homes located in the northeast and southeast corners are visible from Shadywood
Road and Kelly Road. The remainder of the subject property and adjacent properties are obscured by
tree and shrub vegetation. Please see the attached Photo Log (Appendix D) at the end of this report.
MLCCS Data Review
Review of MLCCS data, Map 3A-4 of the City of Orono Community Management Plan indicates that level
1 land cover is classified as forests (30000), and herbaceous vegetation (60000) for vegetation
communities on the lots at 2525, 2535, 2545 Shadywood Road. More detailed Level 3 MLCCS data
classifies land cover as maple-basswood forest with 26-50% cover (32150) and seasonally flooded
altered/non-native dominated emergent vegetation (61530)
Tree Community Identification
Identification of tree communities present on site and a Level 1 Tree Assessment were completed by
ISG during a site visit. According to the City of Orono's significant tree stand definition, one significant

Sec. 78-626. -Development standards.
Within the RPUD district all development shall be in compliance with the following:
(1) Minimum area;shoreland district limitation. Each site proposed for rezoning to RPUD shall have
a minimum area of five acres, excluding areas within a designated wetland, floodplain or
shoreland district or right-of-way, unless the council finds the existence of one of the following:
a. Unusual physical features of the property itself or of the surrounding neighborhood such that
development as a RPUD will conserve a physical or topographic feature of importance to
the neighborhood or community.
b. The property is directly adjacent to or across a public street from property which has been
developed previously as a RPUD or planned residential development and will be perceived
as and will function as an extension of that previously approved development.
c. The property is located in an area where the proposed development provides a transition
between a commercial or industrial area and an existing residential area or on an
intermediate or principal arterial as defined in the comprehensive plan.
d. The property contains steep slopes or a substantial number of significant trees that could be
preserved through the clustering of buildings or other design techniques not generally
allowed by the existing zoning district.
No property located within 250 feet of the ordinary high water level (OHWL) of a protected lake
or tributary as defined in article IX of this chapter shall be rezoned to RPUD. However, for a
property that is partially located less than 250 feet from the OHWL and partially located more than
250 feet from the OHWL, the portion located more than 250 feet from the OHWL may be rezoned
to RPUD at the discretion of the city council when all other requirements are met.
(2) Uses. Each property rezoned to RPUD shall only be used for the use or uses for which the site is
designated in the comprehensive plan, except that the city may permit rezoning to RPUD on a
site designated for commercial use if the city council finds that such use is in the best interests of
the city and is consistent with the requirements of this division. If a commercial site is to be
rezoned to RPUD, the city may forward a copy of the request to the metropolitan council for
revi ew.
(3) Sewer availability. A site proposed to be rezoned to RPUD with proposed density greater than
one unit per two acres must be in the metropolitan urban services area (MUSA) and must be
serviced by municipal sewer.
(4) Density. Each development in the RPUD district shall have a density within the range specified
in the comprehensive plan for the specific site. If the site is not designated in the comprehensive
plan for residential use, the appropriate density shall be determined by the city based upon the
city council's finding that such density is consistent with the intent of this division and of the
comprehensive plan. Developments with proposed densities in excess of the densities
contemplated in the comprehensive plan shall be allowed only on properties which are currently
zoned and guided for commercial use, in order to maintain the character and integrity of the areas
zoned and guided for residential use.
(5) lncentives. The city may utilize incentives to encourage the construction of projects which are
consistent with the city's housing goals. Incentives may include modification of density(only for
properties currently zoned and guided for commercial use) and floor area ratio requirements for
developments providing lifecycle housing and affordable and moderate cost housing. Incentives
for affordable and moderate cost housing may be approved by the city only after the developer
and city have entered into an agreement to ensure that the low and moderate cost units remain
available to persons of low and moderate income for at least 20 years.
(6) Floor area ratio. Floor area ratios (FARs)shall be limited per the following table:

"FAR= Total Building Floor Area/Total Lot Area
Individual lots within a development in the RPUD district may exceed these standards as long as
the average meets these standards.
(7) Deve/opment standards for attached and multifamily dwelling structures. Each site rezoned to
RPUD and developed for attached or multiple-family dwelling uses shall be subject to the
following standards:
a. Sefbacks and separation of uses. Within the RPUD district the setback for all attached and
multifamily dwelling buildings and their accessory buildings from any bordering or abutting
street line shall be 35 feet for local streets and 50 feet from railroad lines or collector or
arterial streets, as designated in the comprehensive plan, except that in no case shall the
setback be less than the height of the building. The setback for all buildings from exterior
RPUD site lot lines not abutting a public street shall be 35 feet, except that in no case shall
the setback be less than the height of the building. Building setbacks from internal public
streets shall be determined by the city based on characteristics of the specific RPUD site.
Parking lots and driving lanes shall be set back at least 20 feet from all exterior lot lines of a
RPUD site. The setback for parking structures, including decks and ramps, shall be 35 feet
from local streets and 50 feet from all other street classifications, except that in no case shall
the setback be less than the height of the structure. Parking structure setbacks from external
lot lines shall be 50 feet or the height of the structure, whichever is greater, when adjacent
to residential properties; 35 feet, when adjacent to nonresidential properties. Parking
structure setbacks from internal public or private streets shall be determined by the city
based on characteristics of the specific RPUD site.Where industrial uses abut developed or
platted single-family lots outside the RPUD site, greater exterior building and parking
setbacks may be required in order to provide effective screening.The city council shall make
a determination regarding the adequacy of screening proposed by the applicant. Screening
may include the use of natural topography or earth berming, existing and proposed plantings
and other features, such as roadways and wetlands, which provide separation of uses.
Property rezoned to RPUD shall be considered a residential district for purposes of
determining building and parking setback requirements on adjacent high density residential,
commercial and industrial property outside the RPUD.
b. Height limitations. For properties guided for residential use in the comprehensive plan, a
building height limit of 30 feet shall apply. For properties currently zoned or guided in the
comprehensive plan for commercial use, height may exceed 30 feet but shall not exceed
three stories (not including underground parking level) and shall maintain a residential
character by incorporating pitched or hipped roof structure. No mansard or flat roofed
multiple-family building will be allowed.
Page 2
c. Oufside storage limitations. Building materials, recreational vehicles, boats, RV's,
snowmobiles, and other items of personal property shall not be stored outside within any site
used for attached or multifamily uses.
(8) Deve/opment standards for sing/e-family detached dwellings in the RPUD district. Each RPUD
site developed for single-family detached dwellings at medium density(i.e.,densities ranging from
one unit per acre to six units per acre)shall be subject to the following standards:
a. Permitted locations: in areas of the city where smaller single-family detached dwelling lots
will allow for clustering to preserve significant natural features, or in areas where a mixture
of higher density attached dwellings and lower density detached single-family dwellings will
result in a development that does not exceed the overall guided density.
b. Minimum SFR lot size: 15,000 square feet.
c. Minimum lot width at the setback line: 90 feet.
d. Minimum lot depth: 125 feet.
e. Minimum front yard setback: 25 feet on internal streets within the RPUD site. On exterior or
through streets a setback of 35 feet must be provided on local streets and a 50-foot setback
on collector or arterial streets, as defined in the comprehensive plan.
f. Minimum side yard setback: ten feet along interior lot lines; 15 feet on lot lines along the
exterior of the RPUD site. Side yards abutting streets must meet the minimum front yard
setbacks as noted in subsection(8)e of this section.Structures in side yards abutting another
residential zoning district shall meet the side yard setback requirement of the adjacent zoning
district.
g. Rear yard setback: minimum of 40 feet or 20 percent of the depth of the lot, whichever is
less.
h. Building height: maximum of 30 feet.
i. All dwelling units, including manufactured homes, shall have a depth of at least 20 feet for
at least 50 percent of their width. All dwelling units, including manufactured homes, shall
have a width of at least 20 feet for at least 50 percent of their depth.
j. All dwellings shall have a permanent foundation in conformance with the state building code.
k. Accessory structures shall conform to the setbacks established for principal structures,

located a minimum of ten feet from a rear or side lot line when that line does not abut a
street right-of-way.
2. No accessory structure shall be located closer to the front lot line than the principal
structure, regardless of the principal structure setback.
I. No accessory structure shall occupy more than 30 percent of the side or rear yard in which
it is located, nor exceed 1,000 square feet in area, nor exceed 12 feet in height.
m. Off-street parking shall be provided for at least two vehicles for each single-family dwelling.
A suitable location for a garage measuring at least 20 feet by 24 feet without a variance shall
be provided and indicated as such on a survey or site plan to be submitted when applying
for a building permit to construct a new dwelling or alter an existing garage.
(9) More than one building allowed. More than one building may be placed on one platted or recorded
lot in a RPUD site.
(10) Single housing type permitted. Any RPUD development which involves a single housing type

which are reasonably beyond the control of the developer. Extensions, which may not
exceed nine months, may be granted due to seasonal or weather conditions. When an
extension is granted, the city shall require such additional security as it deems appropriate.
g. Screening and buffering.
1. The following uses shall be screened or buffered in accordance with the requirements
of this section:
i. Principal buildings and structures and any building or structure accessory thereto
used for residential uses at a density of greater than four units per acre shall be
buffered from residential lots located in any R district.
ii. Off-street parking facilities containing six or more spaces shall be buffered from
streets located within 50 feet. Parking facilities shall be buffered with landscape
zones.
iii. Loading docks shall be screened from all lot lines and public roads.
iv. Trash storage facilities shall be screened from all lot lines and public roads.
v. Access roads serving multifamily buildings shall be screened as necessary to
eliminate the impact of vehicle headlights shining toward adjacent residential
neighborhoods.
2. Required screening or buffering may be achieved with fences, walls, earth berms,
hedges, or other landscape materials. All walls and fences shall be architecturally
harmonious with the principal building. Earth berms shall not exceed a slope of 3:1.The
screen shali be designed to employ materials which provide an effective visual barrier
during all seasons.
Page 6
3. All required screening or buffering shall be located on the lot occupied by the use,
building, facility or structure to be screened. No screening or buffering shall be located
on any public right-of-way or within eight feet of the traveled portion of any street or
highway.
4. Screening or buffering required by subsection (14) of this section shall be of a height
needed to accomplish the goals of subsection (14) of this section. Screening methods
incorporating roofs over storage, trash or mechanical facilities to screen from higher
adjacent properties or buildings may be required. Height of plantings required under
subsection (14)of this section shall be measured at the time of installation.
(15) Architectura/standards.
a. It is not the intent of the city to restrict design freedom unduly when reviewing project
architecture in connection with a site and building plan. However, it is in the best interest of
the city to promote high standards of architectural design and compatibility with surrounding
structures and neighborhoods. Architectural plans shall be prepared by an architect or other
qualified persons acceptable to the city and shall show the following for all structures other
than single-family detached dwellings:
1. Elevations of all sides of the building.
2. Type and color of exterior building materials.
3. A typical floor plan.
4. Dimensions of all structures.
5. The location of trash and recycling containers and of heating, ventilation and air
conditioning equipment.
b. Unadorned prestressed concrete panels, concrete block and unfinished metal shall not be
permitted as exterior materials.for residential principal and accessory buildings. This
restriction shall apply to all principal structures and to all accessory buildings.The city may,
at its discretion, allow architecturally enhanced block or concrete panels.
c. Accessory buildings shall be architecturally compatible with principal structures.
d. All rooftop or ground-mounted mechanical equipment and exterior trash and recycling
storage areas shall be fully enclosed or screened so as to be not visible with materials
compatible with the principal structure.
e. Underground utilities shall be provided for all new and substantially renovated structures(the
term "substantially renovated" shall mean when the renovations exceed 30 percent of the
prerenovation value of the structure).
(16) F/exibility. The uniqueness of each RPUD requires that specifications and standards for streets,
utilities, public facilities and subdivisions may be subject to modification from the city ordinances
ordinarily governing them. The city council may therefore approve streets, utilities, public facilities
and land subdivisions which are not in compliance with usual specifications or ordinance
requirements, if it finds that strict adherence to such standards or requirements is not required to
meet the intent of this section or to protect the health, safety or welfare of the residents of the
RPUD, the surrounding area or the city as a whole.
(17) Traffic studies. The city may require a traffic analysis to be prepared by a registered traffic
engineer approved by the city to assess potential traffic impacts on local streets. If impacts on
service levels of roadways and intersections are anticipated, the project will be approved only
contingent upon a traffic management plan that adequately mitigates those impacts. The plan
may include travel demand management strategies, use of transit facilities or other appropriate
measures to reduce traffic generation, and necessary improvements to road systems. The
developer shall have the responsibility to install all necessary road system improvements.
Page 7
(18) Building permits. No building or other permit shall be issued for any work on property included
within a proposed or approved RPUD development, nor shall any work occur unless such work
is in compliance with the proposed or approved RPUD development.
(19) Genera/regulations applicability.The requirements contained in this division pertaining to general
regulations for residential districts and performance standards shall apply to a RPUD
development as deemed appropriate by the city.
(20) Lighfing standards. All RPUD developments shall be subject to the general performance
standards for lighting in this chapter.
(21) Trails. When any portion of the project is within 1,000 feet of a public trail system, pedestrian
access shall be provided to the trail system by means of a public trail constructed at the
developer's expense. Where public rights-of-way are available, at the city's discretion the trail
may utilize the public right-of-way. Trails shall be of bituminous construction, or such other
material as may be approved by the city and shall be not less than eight feet in width.

Planning Commission minutes—excerpt May 16,2016
3. #16-3827 RICK DENMAN ON BEHALF OF DDK,LLC,2525,2535,AND 2545
SHADYWOOD ROAD, SKETCH PLAN, 6:38 P.M.—7:12 P.M.
Rick Denman,Applicant,was present.
Barnhart stated this is a sketch plan for a seven unit single-family residential development,with access
provided by a new cul-de-sac off of County Road 19. The site currently consists of three lots. The
� proposed lots range in size from 0.16 acres to 0.39 acres. Outlot B is the cul-de-sac street,which will be
eliminated,and Outlot A is shown protecting the wetland that is on the southern half of the lot facing
Kelly Avenue.
The property is currently.zoned for business use. The Comprehensive Plan identifies this property,or at
least the property adjacent to Shadywood,as mixed use, with a density range of 4-15 units per acre. The
Comprehensive Plan also shows low-medium density residential along Kelly Avenue,primarily within
the wetland. To allow this project,the property would need to be re-guided and rezoned. The proposed
development is not consistent with the Comprehensive Plan's guidance for the property because the
density is too low. The rezoning process would occur concurrently with preliminary plat review. The
project will likely be developed as an RPUD,with several variances likely being required.
The applicant is proposing single-family residential with a full basement and floor layouts are included in
the Planning Commission's packets.
One of the things Staff and the applicant are looking for is feedback on the concept plan.
The Planning Commission had no questions for Staff.
Rick Denman,Charles Cudd Company,indicated he would be able to answer any questions the Planning
Commission may have.
Schoenzeit asked what the price range of the homes will be.
Denman indicated the homes would range between$650,000 and$750,000.
Schoenzeit asked if there is a demand for this type of housing in Orono since it is not located on the lake.
Schoenzeit noted there are a substantial number of homes in the same price range being built not far from
this area.
Denman stated they currently have a villa neighborhood that they are constructing in Medina and that he
would welcome the Planning Commissioners to take a look at it. The design for this parcel is similar and
is targeting the empty nester,which has a strong demand.
Thiesse requested Staff discuss the Comprehensive Plan and the recommended changes to it.
Barnhart stated the purpose of the Comprehensive Plan is a long-range vision for the area to look for
appropriate projects that fit with those goals. The property currently is zoned business. The Navarre plan
identified a potential for mixed use on this site in order to meet some density goals of the City. The idea
was that these areas had the potentia] for redevelopment,which would call for mixed use.
Barnhart stated the challenge is that mixed use generally requires higher density to accommodate the
expense of acquisition, clearing of the land,and the different developments. This project does not have
Page 1 of 6
, ,.
those expenses. There are currently 27 or so acres in the Navarre inixed use area identified for 10 units
per acre. Barnhart stated this proposal would not be meeting the City's goals based on the current plans
but that he is comfortable the City can make up the three acres somewhere else. The question for the
Planning Commission is whether this is an appropriate use for the property.
Landgraver asked if the mixed use is specific to a certain portion of the site.
Barnhart stated the City has identified a potential for redevelopment when it is listed as mixed use and
that it could be commercial or something else.
Leskinen noted a few years ago a memory care facility was discussed for this site, which was fitting for
this location. Leskinen stated in her view seven homes crammed into a few acres does not meet the City's
density goals and that she is not sure about changing the zoning for this particular property given the fact
that there is a church next to this property and a couple of grocery stores nearby. Leskinen noted this area
also has a substantial amount of traffic.
Schoenzeit asked if this project is far enough along to ask Hennepin County about the access.
Barnhart stated it is not but that Staff has been meeting with them on a couple of other projects and that
they have informally indicated they would not be opposed to it.
Thiesse stated the guided use is greater than what is being proposed and that he would be surprised if
Hennepin County would be opposed to it.
Barnhart stated as this segment of Shadywood develops or redevelops,the accesses for the church,the
subject property, and the former Freshwater parcels will be consolidated and coordinated, which will help
to reduce the turning movements in that stretch of roadway. Hennepin County is supportive of that
coordination. The proposed access also closely lines up with a future shared access for the Freshwater
properties.
Landgraver asked if the applicant has considered increasing the density, such as having a townhome or
two.
Denman stated from an economic standpoint,the risk goes up when the homes are attached. Denman
stated from a marketing and financial standpoint, it is easier to construct single-family homes.
Thiesse asked how the stormwater would be treated before reaching the wetland.
Denman indicated there would likely be a stormwater pond in the corner but that the engineering has not
been completed at this point.
Thiesse asked what zoning would apply if the lots are combined.
Barnhart stated as part of the process,the platting,rezoning, and Comprehensive Plan amendment would
all be done at the same time.
Leskinen asked if this proposal would require approval by the Metropolitan Council.
Barnhart indicated it is Staff's belief that it will. Barnhart stated the Metropolitan Council recognizes the
market demands and that they just want to make sure the City provides the opportunity for higher density.
Staff will be looking for other areas of the City that could be developed at a higher density.
Page 2 of 6
�• .
Schoenzeit asked if there is any opportunity to include any of the neighboring property to avoid the
orphaned sections.
Denman stated the church is next door,with single-family residential next to that and does not connect
due to the wetland. Denman stated he is not sure what property he could combine with it.
Tbiesse stated what he likes about this is the fact that there is residential to the south,with no entrances or
exits on Kelly. Thiesse stated it seems to be a relatively good start to a compromised transition zone for
this area.
Schwingler indicated he is in agreement with that. Schwingler stated the issue of density has to be taken
into account along with the traffic. Schwingler stated not hitting the density goal is a good thing in a way.
Schwingler asked if finding the other three acres elsewhere in the City would be difficult.
Barnhart stated in his view Staff would be able to find three acres elsewhere.
Thiesse asked whether the applicant would like direction on any specific items.
Denman stated they would like to construct a berm with fencing along County Road 19. Denman stated
they do want to create a buffer zone along County Road 19 with landscaping and a fence.
Leskinen asked if Charles Cudd would be the sole builder of the property.
Denman stated that is their intention currently.
Barnhart stated Staff would like to see some buffering to separate the living space from County Road 19.
Denman stated this is a good location for the product. Denman stated if the Planning Commission has
any concerns about small homes on small lots,he would encourage them to visit some of their other sites
that they have developed. Denman stated on the west side of the Medina Country Club there are two
model homes that are both villas that are on 55-foot lots. These are 50-foot lots but the setbacks are the
same, with 14 feet between the buildings at a minimum.
Thiesse noted since this is a sketch plan,a public hearing is not required.
Barnhart noted the City did receive a comment that has been distributed to the Planning Commissioners.
The first concern related to the wetland and the other concern related to the wildlife areas that will be
impacted. At the time of preliminary plat,there will be a public hearing. Barnhart stated he expects an
application in August,with the public hearing likely occurring in September. As part of that application
there will be a rezoning request.
Landgraver noted these units would like�y not qualify for affordable housing. Landgraver asked whether
the Planning Commission should discuss affordable housing.
Barnhart indicated affordable housing is a goal of the Comprehensive Plan and that these homes would
not be considered affordable homes. Barnhart stated if affordable housing is a goal of the Planning
Commission,this would be the time to discuss that.
Schoenzeit stated in his view whenever residents come to a meeting,they should have a chance to speak
even if a public hearing is not required.

Thiesse asked whether anyone from the public would like to comment on this item.
No public comments were received.
The Planning Commission took no formal action on this item.

10. #16-3827 RICK DENMAN/CHARLES CUDD,LLC,FOR OWNER DDK,LLC,2525
KELLY AVENUE,2535 AND 2545 SHADYWOOD ROAD, SKETCH PLAN
Community Development Director Barnhart stated the applicant is seeking comments related to a sketch
plan for a proposed subdivision of three separate parcels into seven building lots and two outlots. The
project will ultimately require preliminary and final plat, Comprehensive Plan and zoning map
amendments.
The project includes seven single-family home sites ranging in size from 0.16 acres to 0.39 acres. Access
far all lots will be via a new road off of Shadywood Road that will line up with a future access for the
Freshwater parcel on the east side of Shadywood. No direct access will occur off of Kelly Avenue and
the existing wetland on the lot fronting Kelly Avenue will not be impacted. The homes will be served by
city water and sanitary sewer.
The applicant has provided some elevation samples for a 1,400 square foot single-level home with a full
basement. The layouts are tentative and are intended for discussion purposes. The developer has also
provided a monument sample.
The issue that Staff has is that the property is guided for mixed use/residential,with a guided density of
four units per acre. The project proposes 2.99 units per acre,but the final density is expected to increase
above three units when the wetland and buffer boundaries are better defined. The property is zoned B-4
Office/Professional,which does not allow residential uses. The units are proposed to be detached and are
consequently lower than what is proposed in the Comprehensive Plan. The City Council should discuss
whether single-family residential is appropriate on this site.
Staff and the applicant are looking for direction as to the appropriateness of the proposal.
Printup asked if the site is guided for mixed use.
Barnhart indicated it is and that it is guided far four units per acre.
Barnhart stated one of the things Staff looked at was along Shadywood. A number of comments have
been received in the past about the traffic on Shadywood and that Staff and the MN Department of
Transportation are attempting to look at long-term solutions to ease traffic in that area. One option is to
consolidate some of the turning movements,with this parcel being one of those pieces being looked at for
consolidation. Barnhart stated this application provides the City with the opportunity to combine all of
those accesses into one area. The applicant has set this up so that when the Freshwater parcel develops,
that access will line up and shift to the corner of that site and at some point the access to the church will
be changed as well.
Walsh stated a big office building will likely generate more traffic to this site. Walsh commented
consolidating the accesses is a long-term vision and that he is in agreement that it is a tough area for
traffic. Walsh stated hopefully the City can get that cleaned up at some point.
Cornick stated it is critical to note that Staff feels that if the City goes ahead with this project,there are
other areas where the City can increase the density.
Page 5 of 6
� 'r
Barnhart stated this represents one of the few green field areas for new growth and that those are typically
the easiest to develop. Barnhart stated there are other opportunities but that they are limited, especially in
the Navarre area, and that the City Council will need to discuss that component of it.
Rick Denman, Charles Cudd, stated it is a unique piece of property. 'The site is bordered by single-family
to the southeast side and is a transitional piece. Denman stated the property allows them to showcase a
viable product for the site and that they have done a lot of luxury detached homes for empty nesters in
other areas. Denman noted Mayor McMillan visited one of their sites in Medina and that he would invite
the rest of the Council to visit it. Denman indicated they would like some feedback to see whether they
should pursue this.
Printup stated it makes sense overall to align the driveways. Printup noted the density issue was also
raised during the Planning Commission meeting,which was good,and that he would like to hear from the
neighbors.
Andrew Whitehead,2620 Kelly Avenue, stated single-family housing would be nice on this site since
there is other single-fainily housing in the area. Whitehead stated he is assuming the pond will stay and
that runoff might be their only concern since they have had water issues in the past. Whitehead stated he
does not have a comment on how many houses should be on the site but that if it is too many,he is
assuming there will be some complaints from the neighbors.
Walsh asked what he thinks about mixed use for the site.
Whitehead stated he likes the single-family and that he is not sure whether more businesses are required
in that area. Whitehead stated he definitely prefers single-family housing versus an apartment building.
Walsh commented he likes detached housing for this site and that from a commercial standpoint, given
the location of the site,there would need to be a destination business to make it viable. Walsh stated he
likes the direction the applicant is proposing from the direction of detached housing given the residential
housing nearby.
Whitehead stated if the homes could be nestled in that would be nice. Whitehead noted there is also a lot
of wildlife in there as well.
Printup noted the question regarding the size of the lots came up.
Barnhart indicated the lots would range in size from 0.16 acres to 0.39 acres in size. Barnhart stated the
challenge from the density question is where else the City can put higher density and that most of the
areas in Navarre are established neighborhoods, which makes it difficult to increase the density on those
sites or other nearby sites.
Walsh commented those are good points and is something the Council needs to think about. Walsh stated
when there is a good opportunity in front of the Council,they need to deal with that as well.
Printup stated he likes the single-family concept as well.
Cornick stated he also likes the concept.
The City Council took no formal action on this item.

Subject: 16-3827
I was at the planning commission meeting tonight to hear the discussion about 16-3827. I realize
this is at the very preliminary stages. However, I am very concerned that the group casually
discussed the combining of the three properties, especially hearing that the zoning would be the
mixed use of the Shadywood properties not the single family residential of the Kelly Avenue
property. Kelly Avenue is a single family residential neighborhood, and this lot on Kelly Avenue
should not be re-zoned or combined with the other two.
I have to agree with Denise Leskinen's statement that a small mini-development of seven houses on
this property does not fit in with either the Kelly Avenue neighborhood and surrounding area, or
with the Shadywood Road neighborhood and surrounding area.
I found it interesting that the material for this proposal contained the statement "the upper area was
clear cut of trees some years ago..." as if it were done by some unnamed unknown person. If my
memory is correct the owner of the property at that time was the same DDK as is listed as current
owner. Was any assessment ever made for the illegal cutting of the trees? Would this owner be
any more concerned and considerate of the wetland?
Some of the conversation was difficult for the audience to hear, as not everyone spoke into the
microphones every time. I am not sure of the next steps in this process. Know that there is a great
deal of concern in the neighborhood. We will wait to hear about the next steps.

We urge the Planning Commission to NOT recommend rezoning of any of the properties at 2525
Kelly Ave and 2535-2545 Shadywood at the meeting on Monday, July 18. It should also be made
clear that any future development proposals must comply with current zoning.
We have lived in this older, established neighborhood, on Lydiard Avenue, for 23 years. The
proposed plan does not fit with our neighborhood and the surrounding area. This plan will
negatively impact our wetland areas, wildlife areas and the natural beauty of our neighborhood as
well as add to traffic along County Road 19--already congested and dangerous. Any future
development must comply with existing zoning,
The property owner, DDK, should not have purchased it without awareness of its zoning and
acceptable uses.

Re: Preliminary Plat Review-Shadywood Villas
County Road 19 (Shadywood Road)
Hennepin County Plat Review ID #3448A
Dear Mr.Barnhart:
Minnesota Statutes 505.02,505.03,and 462.358,Plats and Surveys,allow up to 30 days for county
review of preliminary plats abutting county roads.The preliminary plat for Shadywood Villas was
received by Hennepin County on June 28,2016.This preliminary plat proposes the development of
7 single family homes over 3 vacant parcels.The Hennepin County Plat Review Committee
discussed this plat on July 12,2016 and made the following comments:
Access-This plat proposes a single access driveway ending in a cul-de-sac.Given this location is
only approximately 90'to the east of the adjacent church driveway,a more preferred access
location would be near the existing boundary between 2535 and 2545 Shadywood Rood.If
however,design cannot be reasonably reconfigured to accommodate this request,the existing
proposed access is acceptable.Please ensure an adequate,level,at-grade, driveway landing at the
county road entry.
Right-of-Way-The existing half right-of-way along this section is 33'.In our 2019-2020
reconstruction project,we envision a 3-lane urban section roadway with a center 2-way left turn
and curb&gutter.We do not believe turn-lanes will be necessary for this development.
Additionally,we have a shared vision with Three Rivers Parks District of an Off-Road Trail through
this corridor.To accommodate these enhancements as well as maintaining the existing 6'shoulder,
we are requesting a dedication of a minimum of 22'to match a 55'half section.
Additional Comments-
• Ensure the proposed drainage pond has adequate storage capacity and that the on-site
drainage will not outlet into the county storm sewer system.
• An internal sidewalk or trail connection to the county road and future trail would be
preferred.
• Provide demonstration of adequate entering sight distance to the left.
� �',� , •
Permits- Please inform the developer that all proposed construction within county right-of-way
requires an approved Hennepin County permit prior to beginning construction.This includes,but is
not limited to driveway and street access,drainage and utility construction,trail development,and
landscaping. Permit questions can be directed to Steve Groen at(612) 596-0337 or

Background
The existing 1950's cabin on the property is situated as close as 1.2 feet from the west side lot
line (City right-of-way) and 64 feet lakeward of the average lakeshore setback, based on the
►ocation of the home on the property to the east at 560 Big Island. The applicant is proposing to
install flush mount solar panels on the existing roof of the cabin. City Code Section allows roof
mounted solar panels on the roof of a structure meeting the required setbacks. The required
setback from a platted right-of-way on Big Island is 30 feet,therefore variances are required.

Section 78-570-Lot Area/Width:
RS District Lot Area Lot Width
Required 217,800 s.f. (5.0 acres) 200'
Actual 32,729 s.f. (0.75 acre) 133' @ 75' / 142'@ OHWL
Applicable Regulations:
Side Setback Variance (Section 78-570)
The RS district requires a 30-foot setback from platted rights-of-way.The existing cabin is set
back 1.2'from the right-of-way and the elevated deck is 0.7'from the right-of-way.The code
permits roof mounted solar panels to be installed on buildings and stipulates that the required
structural setbacks must be met.A variance is required.
Avera�e Lakeshore Setback Variance (Section 78-1279)
The cabin on the property to the east,which determines the average lakeshore setback, is
situated approximately 194 feet from the OHWL;the applicant's cabin is approximately 130 feet
from the OHWL. A variance is required.
Governing Regulation:Variance (Section 78-123)
In reviewing applications for variance, the Planning Commission shall consider the effect of the
proposed variance upon the health, safety and welfare of the community, existing and
anticipated traffic conditions, light and air, danger of fire, risk to the public safety, and the effect
on values of property in the surrounding area. The Planning Commission shall consider
recommending approval for variances from the literal provisions of the Zoning Code in instances
where their strict enforcement would cause practical difficulties because of circumstances unique
to the individual property under consideration, and shall recommend approval only when it is
demonstrated that such actions will be in keeping with the spirit and intent of the Orono Zoning
Code. Economic considerations alone do not constitute practical difficulties. Practical difficulties
also include but are not limited to inadequate access to direct sunlight for solar energy systems.
Variances shall be granted for earth-sheltered construction as defined in Minn. Stat. § 216C.06,
subd. 2,when in harmony with this chapter. The board or the council may not permit as a
variance any use that is not permitted under this chapter for property in the zone where the
affected person's land is located.The board or council may permit as a variance the temporary
use of a one-family dwelling as a two-family dwelling.
According to MN §462.537 Subd. 6(2)variances shall only be permitted when:
1. The variance is in harmony with the general intent and purpose of the Ordinance. The
variances are minimal and generally consistent with the intent of the ordinance.
2. The variance is consistent with the comprehensive plan. The requested variances are
consistent with the residential goals within the comprehensive plan.
3. The applicant establishes that there are practical difficulties.
a. The property owner proposes to use the property in a reasonable manner not
permitted by the official controls; Installation of solar panels on the existing
cabin is a reasonable use of the property, the existing setbacks of the cabin
necessitate variances.
b. There are circumstances unique to the property not created by the landowner;
The cabin's location lakeward of the average lakeshore setback line and within
the required 30-foot side setback;the separation between the subject cabin and
FILE#16-3849
14 July 2016
Page 3 of 4
the neighboring cabins; and the existing tree stands combined with the
elevation result in a unique circumstance not created by the landowner
allowing for the cabin and therefore the solar panels to be almost completely
screened from views off the property, and
c. The variance will not alter the essential character of the locality. The solar panels
will not be visually obtrusive and will screened from views from off of the
property adequately by existing vegetation and the topography.
Additionally City Code 78-123 provides additional parameters within which a variance may be
granted as follows:
4. Practical difficulties also include but are not limited to inadequate access to direct
sunlight for solar energy systems. Variances shall be granted for earth-sheltered
construction as defined in Minn. Stat. § 216C.06, subd. 2, when in harmony with Orono
City Code Chapter 78. Orono's code permits only roof mounted solar panels to be
constructed.The roof of the nonconforming cabin is the only place where solar panels
are permitted on the property.
5. The special conditions applying to the structure or land in question are peculiar to such
property or immediately adjoining property.The cabin is an existing nonconforming
structure and the property contains a large number of mature trees for screening.
The topography increases as it moves away from the lake and toward the property at
560 Big Island.The property on the western side of the right-of-way is separated from
the applicanYs cabin by approximately 30 feet and sits slightly below the applicant's
cabin.The proposed solar panels will not adversely impact adjacent properties.
6. The conditions do not apply generally to other land or structures in the district in which
the land is located.The proposal does not appear to be out of character with the area.
7. The granting of the application is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a
substantial property right of the applicant.This criterion appears to be met.
8. The granting of the proposed variance will not in any way impair health, safety, comfort
or morals,or in any other respect be contrary to the intent of this chapter.The proposed
solar panels on the roof of the cabin will not impair the health, safety, comfort or
morals of the public.
9. The granting of such variance will not merely serve as a convenience to the applicant,
but is necessary to alleviate demonstrable difficulty.This statement is true.
The Commission may recommend or Council may impose conditions in granting of variances.
Any conditions imposed must be directly related to and must bear a rough proportionality to the
impact created by the variance. No variance shall be granted or changed beyond the use
permitted in this chapter in the district where such land is located.
Septic System Status
Please see the attached memo from Orono's Building Official, Roger Peitso, regarding the septic
system (Exhibit E).
Practical Difficulties
Applicant should be asked to discuss the Practical Difficulties regarding the application.
Practical Difficulties Analysis
Staff finds that due to the Code requirement for solar panels and the existing cabin on the
property in a nonconforming location,there is no conforming way for the applicant to install solar
FILE#16-3849

Page 4 of 4
panels on the property.The solar panels will not be visually obtrusive to either of the neighboring
properties or when viewed from the lake.
Public Comments
No public comments were received at the time of the drafting of this memo.
Issues for Consideration
1. Does the Planning Commission find that that the property owner proposes to use the
property in a reasonabie manner which is not permitted by an official control?
2. Does the Planning Commission find that the variance(s), if granted, will not alter the
essential character of the neighborhood?
3. Does the Commission find it necessary to impose conditions in order to mitigate the
impacts created by the granting of the requested variance(s)?
4. Are there any other issues or concerns with this application?
Planning Staff Recommendation
Planning Staff recommends approval.

Subject: 570 Big Island
Melanie,
The septic system for 570 Big Island is currently non� compliant due to not meeting the 3 foot separation requirement in
a Shore Land Area.There has been no reports for the system being an imminent public health threat and was showing
no signs of surFacing when last inspected.The solar panels would be a upgrade to the mechanical and or electrical
system so a permit can be issued for this work as allowed by City of Orono C�de Sec. 58-47(b)3.

Sec.78-1379.-Alternative energy systems.
{a) Scope. Section 78-1379 applies to altemative energy systems in all zoning districts.
(b) Purpose and inter►t. The purpose and intent of this section is to establish standards and procedures
bywhich the installatfon and operation of alternative energy systems shall be regulated within the city.
The cfty finds that it is in the public interest to encourage alternative energy systems that have a
posftfve impact on energy productian and conservation whfle not having an adverse Impact on the
community.

(1) Genera!defln/tions.
Accessory. A system designed as a secondary use to existing bulldings or facElities,wherein the
power generated is used primarily for on-site consumption.
Altemafive energy system.A ground source heat pump,wind energy conversion system,hydronic
furnace or solar energy system.
(3) So/ar energy sysfems definlifons.
Building-integrated solar energy system. A solar energy system that is an integral part of a
principal or accessory building, rather than a separate mechanical device, replacing or
substituting for an architecturaf or structural component of the buiEding including, but not limited
to, photovoltaic or hot water solar systems contained within roofing materiafs,windows,skylights
and awnings.
Page 1
Flush-mounted so/ar energy system. A roof-mounted system mounted directly abutting the roof. .
The pitch of the soiar collector may exceed the pitch of the roof up to five percent but shall not be
higher than ten �nches above the rooi.
Passive so/er energy sysfem.A system that captures solar light or heat without transforming it to
another form of energy or transferring the energy via a heat exchanger.
Photovoltaic system. A salar energy system that converts solar energy directly into electricity.
So1ar energy system. A device or structural design feature, a substantial purpose of which is to
provide daylight far interior Hghting or provide for the collection, storage and distribution of solar
energy for space heating or cooling, electrlcity generation or water heating.
(e) So/ar energy syst+ems.
(1) Zoning districfs. Solar energy systems in accordance with the standards in this section are
allowed as a permitted accessory use in all zoning districts.
(2) Standards.
a. Exempfion. Passive or building-Entegrated solar energy systems are exempt from the
requirements of this section and shall be regulated as any other buiiding element.
b. Roof-mounted sysiems allowed.The only solar energy systems allowed in the city are those
that are roof-mounted,
c. Height. Roof-mou�ted solar energy systems shall comply with the maximum height
requirements in the applicable zoning district.
d. Setbacks. Roof-mounted soiar energy systems shall comply with afl building setbacks in the
2pp!icable zoning district and shal! not extcnd beyo�d ihe exterior perimeter of the budding
on which the system is mounted.

roaf and within three teet of the rooi surface. unless man�facturer's documentat�on is
pravided indicating that collectors must be ang!ed to provlde opt�mum performance. No
ponson of the collectors or their mounting system shail exieno above 1he peak or ridge height
of a pitched roof.On a flat roof,collectors and their mounting systems shall not extend mare
than 5 feet above the roof surface.
f. Easements. Solar energy systems shall not encroach on public drainage, utility, roadway or
trail easements.
g. Screening. Solar energy systems shall be screened from v(ew to the exteM possible without
impacting their function.
h. Maximum area. In a!I residential zoning districts,the collector and mounting system of a roof-
mounted solar energy system shall cover no more than 70 percent of the roof to which it is
affixect.
i. Aesthetics. All solar panels shall be designed, installed, positioned and constructed of
materials so as not to cause any gla�e or reflective sunlight onto neighboring propertfes or

Subject: #16-3841, City of Orono
Text Amendment
Public Hearing
Application Summary: The proposed ordinance would modify the existing floodplain
ordinance to be consistent with National Flood Insurance Program, who have updated the
model ordinance since 2004, when the original model ordinance was published and used to
form the basis of the city's ordinances,since amended.
Staff Recommendation: Planning Department Staff recommends adoption of the ordinance.
list of Exhibits
ExhibitA. Draft Ordinance
Exhibit B. Existing Ordinance
Background
To be included in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP), a City must adopt floodplain
regulations by ordinance. This ordinance must be generally consistent with that organization's
model ordinance. Inclusion in the NFIP allows local property owners to obtain flood insurance,
which may be a requirement of some mortgages. Without insurance, property owners will not
be able to refinance the mortgage, or purchase a home with a loan.
The city must adopt new regulations,to be approved by the DNR and in effect by November 4,
as the NFIP have amended the model ordinance intended to make the regulations easier to
understand.
The draft ordinance will replace our existing flood plain regulations contained within Article VIII
(Sections 78-1101 through 78-1140)of the Zoning Ordinance. The draft ordinance incorporates
some additional definitions utilized by the City, but follows the DNR recommended ordinance
closely. There are two sections in gray that are options,to be discussed.
Staff recommends approval.
PC Exhibit A
Flood Plain regulation comprehensive Revision luly 18, 2016
SECTION 1.0 STATUTORY AUTHORIZATION,FINDINGS OF fACT AND PURPOSE
78-1101 Statutory Authorization: The legislature of the State of Minnesota has,in Minnesota Statutes Chapter 103F
and Chapter 462 delegated the responsibility to local government units to adopt regulations designed to minimize flood
losses.Therefore,the City Council of Orono, Minnesota,does ordain as follows.
78-1103 Purpose:
1.21 This ordinance regulates development in the flood hazard areas of the City of Orono.These flood hazard
areas are subject to periodic inundation,which may result in loss of life and property,health and safety
hazards, disruption of commerce and governmental services, extraordinary public expenditures for flood
protection and relief,and impairment of the tax base.It is the purpose of this ordinance to promote the
public health,safety, and general welfare by minimizing these losses and disruptions.
1.22 National Flood Insurance Program Compliance.This ordinance is adopted to comply with the rules and
regulations of the National Flood Insurance Program codified as 44 Code of Federal Regulations Parts 59 -
78,as amended,so as to maintain the community's eligibility in the National Flood Insurance Program.
1.23 This ordinance is also intended to preserve the natural characteristics and functions of watercourses and
floodplains in order to moderate flood and stormwater impacts, improve water quality, reduce soil
erosion,protect aquatic and riparian habitat,provide recreational opportunities, provide aesthetic benefits
and enhance community and economic development.
SECTION 2.0 GENERAL PROVISIONS
2.1 How to Use This Ordinance: This ordinance adopts the floodplain maps applicable to the City of Orono and
includes three floodplain districts: Floodway, Flood Fringe,and General Floodplain.
2.11 Where Floodway and Flood Fringe districts are delineated on the floodplain maps,the standards in
Sections 4 or 5 will apply,depending on the location of a property.
2.12 Locations where Floodway and Flood Fringe districts are not delineated on the floodplain maps are
considered to fall within the General Floodpiain district.Within the General Floodplain district,the
Floodway District standards in Section 4 apply unless the floodway boundary is determined,according to
the process outlined in Section 6.Once the floodway boundary is determined,the Flood Fringe District
standards in Section 5 may apply outside the floodway.
2.2 Lands to Which Ordinance Applies: This ordinance applies to all lands within the jurisdiction of Orono shown on
the Official Zoning Map and/or the attachments to the map as being located within the boundaries of the
Floodway, Flood Fringe,or General Floodplain Districts.
2.21 The Floodway, Flood Fringe and General Floodplain Districts are overlay districts that are superimposed on
all existing zoning districts.The standards imposed in the overlay districts are in addition to any other
requirements in this ordinance. In case of a conflict,the more restrictive standards will apply.
2.3 Incorporation of Maps by Reference: The following maps together with all attached material are hereby adopted
by reference and declared to be a part of the Official Zoning Map and this ordinance.The attached material
includes the Flood Insurance Study for Hennepin County, Minnesota,and Incorporated Areas,dated November 4,
2016 and the Flood Insurance Rate Map panels enumerated below,dated November 4,2016,all prepared by the
Federal Emergency Management Agency.These materials are on file in the City Clerk's office.

2 2.4 Regulatory Flood Protection Elevation: The regulatory flood protection elevation(RFPE) is an elevation no lower
3 than one foot above the elevation of the regional flood plus any increases in fiood elevation caused by
4 encroachments on the floodplain that result from designation of a floodway.
5 2.5 Interpretation: The boundaries of the zoning districts are determined by scaling distances on the Flood Insurance
6 Rate Map.
7 2.51 Where a conflict exists between the floodplain limits illustrated on the official zoning map and actual field
8 conditions,the flood elevations shall be the governing factor.The City Administrator must interpret the
9 boundary location based on the ground elevations that existed on the site on the date of the first National
10 Flood Insurance Program map showing the area within the regulatory floodplain,and other available
11 technical data.
12 2.52 Persons contesting the location of the district boundaries will be given a reasonable opportunity to present
13 their appeal to the Planning Commission and to submit technical evidence.
14 2.6 Abrogation and Greater Restrictions: It is not intended by this ordinance to repeal,abrogate, or impair any
15 existing easements,covenants,or other private agreements. However,where this ordinance imposes greater
16 restrictions,the provisions of this ordinance prevail. All other ordinances inconsistent with this ordinance are
17 hereby repealed to the extent of the inconsistency only.
18 2.7 Warning and Disclaimer of Liability: This ordinance does not imply that areas outside the floodplain districts or
19 land uses permitted within such districts wiil be free from flooding or flood damages.This ordinance does not
20 create liability on the part of the City of Orono or its officers or employees for any flood damages that result from
21 reliance on this ordinance or any administrative decision lawfully made hereunder.
22 2.8 Severability: If any section,clause, provision,or portion of this ordinance is adjudged unconstitutional or invalid
23 by a court of law,the remainder of this ordinance shall not be affected and shall remain in full force.

13 insurance study.
14 Regulatory Flood Protection Elevation(RFPE) -an elevation not less than one foot above the elevation of the
15 regional flood plus any increases in flood elevation caused by encroachments on the floodplain that result from
16 designation of a floodway.
17 a. The regulatory flood protection elevation within the fioodway and flood fringe districts,
18 except for Lake Minnetonka,shall be established by adding 1.0 foot to the base flood water
19 surface elevations within floodway listed in the floodway data table contained in the flood
20 insurance study. Regulatory flood protection elevations between cross sections shall be
21 interpolated.
22 b. The regulatory flood protection elevation for Lake Minnetonka shall be 932.5 MSI.
23 c. The regulatory flood protection elevation within the general floodplain district shall be
24 calculated by a qualified registered professional engineer in accordance with procedures set forth
25 in this article.
26 Repetitive Loss: Flood related damages sustained by a structure on two separate occasions during a ten year period
27 for which the cost of repairs at the time of each such flood event on the average equals or exceeds 25%of the
28 market value of the structure before the damage occurred.
29 Special Flood Hazard Area—a term used for flood insurance purposes synonymous with "One Hundred Year
30 Floodplain."
31 Start of Construction—includes substantial improvement,and means the actual start of construction, repair,
32 reconstruction, rehabilitation,addition, placement or other improvement that occurred before the permit's
33 expiration date.The actual start is either the first placement of permanent construction of a structure on a site,
34 such as the pouring of slab or footings,the installation of piles,the construction of columns, or any work beyond
35 the stage of excavation; or the placement of a manufactured home on a foundation. Permanent construction does
36 not include land preparation,such as clearing,grading and filling; nor does it include the installation of streets
37 and/or walkways; nor does it include excavation for a basement,footings, piers,foundations,or the erection of
38 temporary forms; nor does it include the installation on the property of accessory buildings,such as garages or
39 sheds not occupied as dwelling units or not part of the main structure. For a substantial improvement,the actual

3 damage occurred.
4 Substantial Improvement-within any consecutive 365-day period,any reconstruction, rehabilitation(including
5 normal maintenance and repair), repair after damage,addition,or other improvement of a structure,the cost of
6 which equals or exceeds 50 percent of the market value of the structure before the"start of construction"of the
7 improvement.This term includes structures that have incurred "substantial damage," regardless of the actual repair
8 work performed.The term does not, however, include either:
9 (a) Any project for improvement of a structure to correct existing violations of state or local health,
10 sanitary,or safety code specifications which have been identified by the local code enforcement official
11 and which are the minimum necessary to assure safe living conditions.
12 (b) Any alteration of a "historic structure," provided that the alteration will not preclude the
13 structure's continued designation as a "historic structure." For the purpose of this ordinance, "historic
14 structure" is as defined in 44 Code of Federal Regulations, Part 59.1.
15 78-1112 Annexations: The Flood Insurance Rate Map panels adopted by reference into Section 78-1105 above may
16 include floodplain areas that lie outside of the corporate boundaries of the City of Orono at the time of adoption of

1 (b) Fill, dredge spoil,and other similar materials deposited or stored in the floodplain must be protected
2 from erosion by vegetative cover, mulching, riprap or other acceptable method. Permanent sand and
3 gravel operations and similar uses must be covered by a long-term site development plan.
4 (c) Temporary placement of fill,other materials,or equipment which would cause an increase to the stage
5 of the 1%percent chance or regional flood may only be allowed if the City Council has approved a plan
6 that assures removal of the materials from the floodway based upon the flood warning time available.
7 (3) Accessory Structures.Accessory structures,as identified in Section 78-1118(1), may be permitted,
8 provided that:
9 (a) structures are not intended for human habitation;
10 (b)structures will have a low flood damage potential;
11 (c) structures will be constructed an placed so as to offer a minimal obstruction to the flow of flood waters;
12 (d)Service utilities, such as electrical and heating equipment,within these structures must be elevated to

28 City Administrator must obtain, review and reasonably utilize any regionai flood elevation and floodway
29 data available from a federal,state,or other source.
30 (2) If regional flood elevation and floodway data are not readily available,the applicant must furnish additiona�
31 information,as needed,to determine the regulatory flood protection elevation and whether the proposed
32 use would fall within the Floodway or Flood Fringe District. Information must be consistent with accepted
33 hydrological and hydraulic engineering standards and the standards in Section 78-1129(3) below.
34 (3) The determination of floodway and flood fringe must include the following components,as applicable:
35 (a) Estimate the peak discharge of the regional(1%chance)flood.
36 (b) Calculate the water surface profile of the regional flood based upon a hydraulic analysis of the stream
37 channel and overbank areas.
38 (c) Compute the floodway necessary to convey or store the regional flood without increasing flood stages
39 more than one-half(0.5)foot.A lesser stage increase than 0.5 foot is required if,as a result of the stage
40 increase,increased flood damages would result.An equal degree of encroachment on both sides of the
41 stream within the reach must be assumed in computing floodway boundaries.
42 (4) The City Administrator will review the submitted information and assess the technical evaluation and the
43 recommended Floodway and/or Flood Fringe District boundary.The assessment must include the
44 cumulative effects of previous floodway encroachments.The City Administrator may seek technical

The legislature of the State of Minnesota has, in Minn. Stat. ch. 103F and Minn. Stat. § 462.357
delegated the responsibility to local government units to adopt regulations designed to minimize flood
losses. Therefore, the city council does ordain as follows:
Sec.78-1102.-Findings of fact.
(a) The flood hazard areas of the city are subject to periodic inundation which results in potential loss of
life, loss of property, health and safety hazards, disruption of commerce and governmental services,
extraordinary public expenditures for flood protection and relief, and impairment of the tax base, all of
which adversely affect the public health, safety, and general welfare.
(b) Methods used to analyze flood hazards. This article is based upon a reasonable method of analyzing
flood hazards which is consistent with the standards established by the Minnesota Department of
Natural Resources.
(c) National Flood Insurance Program compliance. This article is adopted to comply with the rules and
regulations of the National Flood Insurance Program codified as 44 Code of Federal Regulations Parts
59-78, as amended, so as to maintain the community's eligibility in the National Flood Insurance
Program.
Sec.78-1103.-Statement of purpose.
It is the purpose of this article to promote the public health,safety, and general welfare and to minimize
those losses described in section 78-1102(a) by provisions contained herein.
DIVISION 2.-GENERAL PROVISIONS

overlay district map and/or the attachments thereto as being located within the boundaries of the floodway,
flood fringe, or general flood plain districts.
Sec.78-1105.-Establishment of official floodplain overlay district map.
The official floodplain overlay district map together with all materials attached thereto is hereby
adopted by reference and declared to be a part of this article.The attached material shall include the Flood
Insurance Study, Volume 1 of 2 and Volume 2 of 2, Hennepin County, Minnesota. All jurisdictions and the
flood insurance rate map panels numbered 27053C0144E, 27053C0165E, 27053CO284E, 27053CO285E,

dated September 2, 2004, as developed by the Federal Emergency Management Agency. The official
floodplain overlay district map shall be on file in the office of the planning director.
Sec.78-1106.-Regulatory flood protection elevation.
The regulatory flood protection elevation shall be an elevation no lower than one foot above the
elevation of the regional flood plus any increases in flood elevation caused by encroachments on the flood
plain that result from designation of a floodway.
Sec.78-1107.-Interpretation.
Page 1
(a) In their interpretation and application, the provisions of this article shall be held to be minimum
requirements arid shall be liberally construed in favor of the city council and shall not be deemed a
limitation or repeal of any other powers granted by state statutes.
(b) The boundaries of the zoning districts shall be determined by scaling distances on the official floodplain
overlay district map. Where interpretation is needed as to the exact location of the boundaries of the
district as shown on the official floodplain overlay district map, as for example where there appears to
be a conflict between a mapped boundary and actual field conditions and there is a formal appeal of
the decision of the planning director, the city council shall make the necessary interpretation. All
decisions will be based on elevations on the regional (100-year) flood profile, the ground elevations
that existed on the site at the time the community adopted its initial floodplain ordinance, and other
available technical data. Persons contesting the location of the district boundaries shall be given a
reasonable opportunity to present their case to the city council and to submit technical evidence.
Sec. 78-1108.-Abrogation and greater restrictions.
It is not intended by this article to repeal, abrogate, or impair any existing easements, covenants, or
deed restrictions. However,where this article imposes greater restrictions,the provisions of this article shall
prevail. All other ordinances inconsistent with this article are hereby repealed to the extent of the
inconsistency only.
Sec.78-1109.-Warning and disclaimer of liability.
This article does not imply that areas outside the flood plain districts or fand uses permitted within such
districts will be free from flooding or flood damages. This article shall not create liability on the part of the
city or any officer or employee thereof for any flood damages that result from reliance on this article or any
administrative decision lawfully made thereunder.
Sec.78-1110.-Severability.
If any section, clause, provision, or portion of this article is adjudged unconstitutional or invalid by a
court of competent jurisdiction, the remainder of this article shall not be affected thereby.
Sec.78-1111.-Definitions.

rehabilitation (including normai maintenance and repair), repair after damage, addition, or other
improvement of a structure, the cost of which equals or exceeds 50 percent of the market value
of the structure before the"start of construction"of the improvement.This term includes structures
that have incurred"substantial damage,"regardless of the actual repair work performed.The term
does not, however, include either:
a. Any project for improvement of a structure to correct existing violations of state or local
health, sanitary, or safety code specifications which have been identified by the local code
enforcement official and which are the minimum necessary to assure safe living conditions.
b. Any alteration of an "historic structure," provided that the alteration will not preclude the

event.
7. All other forms of shoreline protection, including wood, metal mortared stone or concrete
seawalls.
8. All permanent boat docks or other similar structures.
Sec.78-1117.-Standards for floodway conditional uses.
(a) All uses. No structure (temporary or permanent), fill (including fill for roads and levees), deposit,
obstruction, storage of materials or equipment, or other uses may be allowed as a conditional use that
will cause any increase in the stage of the 100-year or regional flood or cause an increase in flood

conditional use. The fill, dredge spoil, and all other similar materials deposited or stored in the
flood plain shall be protected from erosion by vegetative cover, mulching, riprap or other
acceptable method.
2. Dredge spoil sites and sand and gravel operations shall not be allowed in the floodway unless a
long-term site development plan is submitted which includes an erosion/sedimentation prevention
element to the plan.
3. As an alternative, and consistent with subsection(d)(2)immediately above, dredge spoil disposal
and sand and gravel operations may allow temporary, on-site storage of fill or other materials
which would have caused an increase to the stage of the 100-year or regional flood but only after
the governing body has received an appropriate plan which assures the removal of the materials
from the floodway based upon the flood warning time available. The conditional use permit must
be title registered with the property in the office of the county recorder.
4. All filling and grading activities shall be performed with only clean fill.
(e) Accessory structures:
1. Accessory structures shall not be designed for human habitation.
2. Accessory structures, if permitted, shall be constructed and placed on the building site so as to
offer the minimum obstruction to the flow of flood waters:
a. Whenever possible, structures shall be constructed with the longitudinal axis parallel to the
direction of flood flow; and
b. So far as practicable, structures shall be placed approximately on the same flood flow lines
as those of adjoining structures.
Page 6
3. Accessory structures shall be elevated on fill or structurally dry flood proofed in accordance with
the FP-1 or FP-2 flood proofing classifications in the State Building Code. As an alternative, an
accessory structure may be flood proofed to the FP-3 or FP-4 flood proofing classification in the
State Building Code provided the accessory structure constitutes a minimal investment, does not
exceed 500 square feet in size at its largest projection, and for a detached garage, the detached
garage must be used solely for parking of vehicles and limited storage. All flood proofed
accessory structures must meet the following additional standards:
a. The structure must be adequately anchored to prevent flotation, collapse or lateral
movement of the structure and shall be designed to equalize hydrostatic flood forces on
exterior walls;
b. Any mechanical and utility equipment in a structure must be elevated to or above the
regulatory flood protection elevation or properly flood proofed; and
c. To allow for the equalization of hydrostatic pressure, there must be a minimum of two
"automatic"openings in the outside walls of the structure having a total net area of not less
than one square inch for every square foot of enclosed area subject to flooding. There must
be openings on at least two sides of the structure and the bottom of all openings must be no
higher than one foot above the lowest adjacent grade to the structure. Using human
intervention to open a garage door prior to flooding will not satisfy this requirement for
automatic openings.
(f) Storage of materials and equipment.
1, The storage or processing of materials that are, in time of flooding, flammable, explosive, or
potentially injurious to human, animal, or plant life is prohibited.
2. Storage of other materials or equipment may be allowed if readily removable from the area within
the time available after a flood warning and in accordance with a plan approved by the city council.
(g) Flood control. Structural works for flood control that will change the course, current or cross section of
protected wetlands or public waters shall be subject to the provisions of Minn. Stat. ch. 103G.
Community-wide structural works for flood control intended to remove areas from the regulatory flood
plain shall not be allowed in the floodway.
(h) A levee, dike or floodwall constructed in the floodway shall not cause an increase to the 100-year or
regional flood and the technical analysis must assume equal conveyance or storage loss on both sides
of a stream.
DIVISION 5.-FLOOD FRINGE DISTRICT(FF)
Sec.78-1118.-Permitted uses.
(a) The uses listed in section 78-1114 of this article shall be permitted uses.
(b) All other permitted uses shall be those uses of land or structures listed as permitted uses in the
underlying zoning use district(s). If no pre-existing, underlying zoning use districts exist, then any
residential or non-residential structure or use of a structure or land shall be a permitted use in the flood
fringe district provided such use does not constitute a public nuisance. All permitted uses shall comply
with the standards for flood fringe district"Permitted uses"listed in section 78-1119 and the"Standards
for all flood fringe uses" listed in section 78-1122.
Sec.78-1119.-Standards for flood fringe permitted uses.
(a) All structures, including accessory structures, must be elevated on fill so that the lowest floor including
basement floor is at or above the regulatory flood protection elevation. The finished fill elevation for
structures shall be no lower than one foot below the regulatory flood protection elevation and the fill
shall extend at such elevation at least 15 feet beyond the outside limits of the structure erected thereon.
Page 7
(b) As an alternative to elevation on fill,accessory structures that constitute a minimal investment and that
do not exceed 500 square feet at its largest projection may be internally flood proofed in accordance
with section 78-1117(e)(3).
(c) The cumulative placement of fill where at any one time in excess of 1,000 cubic yards of fill is located
on the parcel shall be allowable only as a conditional use, unless said fill is specifically intended to
elevate a structure in accordance with section 78-1119(a)of this article.
(d) The storage of any materials or equipment shall be elevated on fill to the regulatory flood protection
elevation.
(e) The provisions of section 78-1122 of this article shall apply.
Sec.78-1120.-Conditional uses.
Any structure that is not elevated on fill or flood proofed in accordance with section 78-1119(a)and(b)
and or any use of land that does not comply with the standards in section 78-1119(c)and(d) shall only be
allowable as a conditional use. An application for a conditional use shall be subject to the standards and
criteria and evaluation procedures specified in sections 78-1121, 78-1122 and 78-1135 of this article.
Sec.78-1121.-Standards for flood fringe conditional uses.
(1) Alternative elevation methods other than the use of fill may be utilized to elevate a structure's lowest
floor above the regulatory flood protection elevation. These alternative methods may include the use
of stilts, pilings, parallel walls,etc.,or above-grade,enclosed areas such as crawl spaces or tuck under
garages. The base or floor of an enclosed area shall be considered above-grade and not a structure's
basement or lowest floor if: 1)the enclosed area is above-grade on at least one side of the structure;
2) it is designed to internally flood and is constructed with flood resistant materials; and 3) it is used
solely for parking of vehicles, building access or storage. The above-noted alternative elevation
methods are subject to the following additional standards:
a. Design and certi�cation. The structure's design and as-built condition must be certified by a
registered professional engineer or architect as being in compliance with the general design
standards of the State Building Code and, specifically, that all electrical, heating, ventilation,
plumbing and air conditioning equipment and other service facilities must be at or above the
regulatory flood protection elevation or be designed to prevent flood water from entering or
accumulating within these components during times of flooding.
b. Specific standards for above-grade, enc/osed areas. Above-grade, fully enclosed areas such as
crawl spaces or tuck under garages must be designed to internally flood and the design plans
must stipulate:
1. A minimum area of openings in the walls where internal flooding is to be used as a flood
proofing technique. There shall be a minimum of two openings on at least two sides of the
structure and the bottom of all openings shall be no higher than one-foot above grade. The
automatic openings shall have a minimum net area of not less than one square inch for every
square foot subject to flooding unless a registered professional engineer or architect certifies
that a smaller net area would suffice. The automatic openings may be equipped with
screens, louvers, valves, or other coverings or devices provided that they permit the
automatic entry and exit of flood waters without any form of human intervention; and
2. That the enclosed area will be designed of flood resistant materials in accordance with the
FP-3 or FP-4 classifications in the State Building Code and shall be used solely for building
access, parking of vehicles or storage.
(2) Basements, as defined by section 78-1111(a)(2)of this article, shall be subject to the foltowing:
a. Residential basement construction shall not be allowed below the regulatory flood protection
elevation.
Page 8
b. Non-residentiai basements may be allowed below the regulatory flood protection elevation
provided the basement is structurally dry flood proofed in accordance with section 78-1121(3) of
this article.
(3) All areas of non-residential structures including basements to be placed below the regulatory flood
protection elevation shall be flood proofed in accordance with the structurally dry flood proofing
classifications in the State Building Code. Structurally dry flood proofing must meet the FP-1 or FP-2
flood proofing classification in the State Building Code and this shall require making the structure
watertight with the walls substantially impermeable to the passage of water and with structural
components having the capability of resisting hydrostatic and hydrodynamic loads and the effects of
buoyancy. Structures flood proofed to the FP-3 or FP-4 classification shall not be permitted.
(4) When at any one time more than 1,000 cubic yards of fill or other similar material is located on a parcel
for such activities as on-site storage, landscaping, sand and gravel operations, landfills, roads,dredge
spoil disposal or construction of flood control works, an erosionlsedimentation control plan must be
submitted unless the community is enforcing a state approved shoreland management ordinance. In
the absence of a state approved shoreland ordinance, the plan must clearly specify methods to be
used to stabilize the fill on site for a flood event at a minimum of the 100-year or regional flood event.
The plan must be prepared and certified by a registered professional engineer or other qualified
individual acceptable to the city council. The plan may incorporate alternative procedures for removal
of the material from the flood plain if adequate flood warning time exists.
(5) Storage of materials and equipment.
a. The storage or processing of materials that are, in time of flooding, flammable, explosive, or
potentially injurious to human, animal, or plant life is prohibited.
b. Storage of other materials or equipment may be allowed if readily removable from the area within
the time available after a flood warning and in accordance with a plan approved by the city council.
(6) The provisions of section 78-1122 of this article shall also apply.
Sec.78-1122.-Standards for all flood fringe uses.
(a) All new principal structures must have vehicular access at or above an elevation not more than two
feet below the regulatory flood protection elevation. If a variance to this requirement is granted, the
city council must specify limitations on the period of use or occupancy of the structure for times of
flooding and only after determining that adequate flood warning time and local flood emergency
response procedures exist.
(b) Commercial uses. Accessory land uses, such �s yards, railroad tracks, and parking lots may be at
elevations lower than the regulatory flood protection elevation. However, a permit for such facilities to
be used by the employees or the general public shall not be granted in the absence of a flood warning
system that provides adequate time for evacuation if the area would be inundated to a depth and
velocity such that when multiplying the depth (in feet) times velocity(in feet per second) the product
number exceeds four upon occurrence of the regional flood.
(c) Manufacturing and industrial uses. Measures shall be taken to minimize interference with normal plant
operations especially along streams having protracted flood durations. Certain accessory land uses
