REQUEST TO EXTEND HIGHWAY 12 MORATORIUM
PUBLIC HEARING 7:43 - 7:48
Mayor Butler explained the purpose of the public hearing
was to consider extending Ordinance 13, Second Series,
an ordinance that has limited developement within a
defined study area adjacent to Highway 12 for the past
year during the period of the City's Comprehensive
Planning Study.
City Recorder Peterson noted the Affidavit of
Publication.
Bill Wear, 36 Hackberry Hill, stated that he owns a
business in the affected area and that he is against
extending the moratorium because it is creating a
hardship on his business in regards to his application
for a sign. He feels the sign portion should be
excluded from the moratorium. He submitted three
letters from tenants of the Orono Shopping Center
indicating the need for signage to promote their
businesses.
Mayor Butler stated that she fully intends to have the
moratorium study completed by the end of her term being
the end of the year.
Councilmember Callahan recommended that Mr. Wear's sign
application be brought back to the October 27th Council
meeting.

HIGHWAY 12 MORATORIUM CONTINUED
Mayor Butler agreed with Councilmember Callahan stating
that they have studied enough information regarding
signs in that area.
Mr. Wear exclaimed that this was just another matter of
stalling in which he gets nowhere with the Council.
There were no other comments from the public and the
public hearing was closed.
It was moved by Councilmember Frahm, to approve the
extension of the moratorium for 6 months.
Mayor Butler and Councilmember Callahan felt 6 months
was too long and that the end of the 1986 year was more
preferable.
Councilmember Frahm withdrew his motion.
It was moved by Councilmember Callahan, seconded by
Mayor Butler, to approve the extension of the moratorium
until December 31, 1986. Motion, Ayes 3, Nays 0.
Council directed staff to work with Mr. Wear in

CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT
'Margaret Bjork and her Real Estate Agent Ruthanne Lang
were present for this matter.
I
City Administrator Bernhardson explained that this I
property at one time had a commercial use in the lower
level and an apartment in the upper level. Since 1976,
the lower level has been converted into a mother -in -law
apartment. He noted that the City had not required the
3

#1059 WORK CONTINUED
appropriate conditional use permit at the time building
permits in 1976 and 1980 were issued to construct a
mother -in -law apartment. The property was assessed for
two residential sewer and water units. Applicant
requests, in advance of sale of the property, a
- conditional use permit for duplex use.
Ruthanne Lang stated that the structure is ideally set-
upfor a duplex use because of the area and floor plan.
She noted that the property has been on the market as a
single family home with mother -in -law apartment, but
that it would be more marketable in that price range as
a duplex. She noted that the neighbors have not
objected to the duplex use.
Zoning Administrator Mabusth reviewed the existing
upper and lower floor plans noted that there are
separate access entries. She noted that a curb cut
should be defined and approved by the County for this
property. She also noted that in order to create a legal
duplex certain requirements may be required by code such
as relocation of fire detectors and installation of a
second water meter, etc.
Mayor Butler asked City Attorney Barrett's opinion
regarding granting a variance to the performance
standard requirement of a duplex being located within
200' of a commercial zone, whereas this property is
approximately 1000' from a commercial zone.
City Attorney Barrett stated that the key issue is
determining whether a duplex is a permitted use, and if
so, the City does have the power to grant a variance.
Planning Commission member Goetten stated that when this
application was reviewed by the Planning Commission, she
was in the minority opinion that this was a reasonable
option for this property.
Mayor Butler stated that she did not feel it would be
unrealistic to permit the duplex use because of the
history of use of the building, the fact that the
structure will not change in appearance, and a two
residential use would be no more intense than the
combined commercial and residential use as it has been
in the past.
Councilmember Frahm stated that he was concerned with
the size of lot and intense use and the fact the the
future owner would inevitably want to construct a new
garage which would create too much hardcover. However,
he felt that it was not a bad location for a duplex.
4
MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO COUNCIL MEETING HELD OCTOBER 13, 1986
#1059 BJORR CONTINUED
Councilmember Callahan stated that he agreed with
Councilmember Frahm's concerns with area and hardcover
however based on the overall context of the lot and the
buildings background, he would go along with whatever
change is necessary to sell it as a duplex.
Mayor Butler stated she agreed with Councilmember
Frahm regarding construction of a new garage.
Zoning Administrator Mabusth stated that there may not
be enough area to locate a garage without the need for a
setback variance. She also reviewed the past commercial
uses of the property. She noted that if the duplex use
were denied, there would be major problems trying to
control the use of the property. She stated that major
strutural changes would be required to conform with
other mother -in -law apartment use standards.
City Administrator Bernhardson recommended that staff
come back to Council with additional findings regarding
appropriate placement of a garage, any easements that
may exist, and a hardcover inventory.
It was moved by Mayor Butler, seconded by Councilmember
Frahm, to table this matter and to direct staff to bring
back additional findings regarding:
- inventory of the site
- hardcover analysis
- number of variances that may be required for an
anticipated new garage
- access easement over railroad right -of -way property
-curb cut, landscaping, screening, etc.
- off - street parking

RESOLUTION #2058
Jean and Larry Martineau were present for this-matter.
City Administrator Bernhardson explained the request for
a variance to permit a temporary two - family dwelling of
which Planning Commission reviewed and recommended
approval.
Councilmember Callahan stated that standards should be
made regarding mother -in -law apartments in order to
avoid problems as created in the previous Bjork
application and alleviate wasting staff and Councils'
time.

#1069 MARTINEAU CONTINUED
Zoning Administrator Mabusth stated that staff has
worked on proposed standards for mother -in -law
apartments and hoped to work further on it after the
Hwy. 12 Study and busy season is over.
City Administrator Bernhardson stated that because of
the numerous recent requests for mother -in -law
apartments, staff will place this matter on the Planning
Commission's November agenda for consideration.
Larry and Jean Martineau stated that it is basically the
economic climate that is creating this type of situation
of need.
Councilmember Frahm stated that it this particular case
with the large acreage involved (8+ acres) he finds no
problem.
It was moved by Mayor Butler, seconded by Councilmember
Frahm, to adopt Resolution #2058 approving the variance
to permit the construction of a non - rental guest
apartment within the principal residence, amending the
resolution to include granting of the lot width
variance. Motion, Ayes 3, Nays 0.
#1066 ANN L. CARSON
1317 NORTH ARM DRIVE
VARIANCE
RESOLUTION #2059
Applicants husband, Lorin R. Derby, was present for this
matter.
City Administrator Bernhardson explained the request for
a side setback variance to construct an addition which
continues along the existing line of the house which is
7.7' from the lot line. A hardcover variance is also
requested, but since the applicant will remove an
equivalent amount of plastic under rock beds, there will
be no net increase over the existing 31.06 %. He noted
that the adjacent neighbor, Eileen Oleen, is concerned
about additional drainage on her property, however with
no increase in existing hardcover there should be no
negative effect.
Mayor Butler stated that the proposed drafted resolution
should specify what hardcover will be removed.
Assistant Zoning Administrator Gaffron stated that all
the plastic from existing rock beds must be totally
removed not perforated.

#1066 CARSON CONTINUED
Mr. Derby stated that he fully intends to eliminate the
rock beds and replace with grass.
It was moved by Councilmember Callahan, seconded by
Mayor Butler, to adopt Resolution #2059 amending
resolution to read "Applicant must remove all of
plastic from existing rock beds to maintain existing
31.06% hardcover ". Motion, Ayes 3, Nays 0.

VARIANCE
RESOLUTION #2060
Mr. & Mrs. Herbert T. Olson were present for this
matter.
City Administrator Bernhardson explained the request for
a side setback variance to construct a kitchen addition
19.9' from the lot line.
Councilmember Frahm asked if the the addition could not
be placed elsewhere due to the large area of property.
Assistant Zoning Administrator Gaffron stated that
Planning Commission had asked that same question,
however applicant pointed out that the proposed location
for the addition is a result of hardships to other
locations due to topography, drainage, existing trees,
and the layout of the house.
It was moved by Mayor Butler, seconded by Councilmember
Frahm, to adopt Resolution #2060 as drafted approving
the variance. Motion, Ayes 3, Nays 0.
#1068 DR. GLEN NELSON
500 TONRAWA ROAD
VARIANCE
RESOLUTION #2061
Dr. Glen Nelson and his architect Dale Mulfinger were
present for this matter.
City Administrator Bernhardson explained the request for
a variance for temporary guest apartment use of an
addition to the residence. He noted that the apartment
may be entered .only from outside the house or through
the garage area. Due to the layout of the house, an
entrance to the apartment from the main house is not
possible and an outside entrance is required to meet
fire code because the apartment is surrounded by
concrete walls on three sides.

#1068 NELSON CONTINUED
Councilmember Frahm stated that because of the apparent
"attached second dwelling ", he recommended that approval
be conditioned upon the property maintaining two acre
minimum in order to support the two - family dwelling.
it was moved by Councilmember Frahm, seconded by Mayor
Butler, to adopt Resolution #2061 amending it as
outlined by Councilmember Frahm above. Motion, Ayes 2,
Nays 1. Councilmember Callahan voted nay.
Tennis Court Issue - City Administrator Bernhardson
reported that construction of a tennis court on Mr.
Nelson's property was red tagged by the Building Dept.
today. He stated that a significant amount of
alteration beyond 100 cubic yards was being done which
required a conditional use permit from the Council.
Dr. Nelson explained the circumstances that led up to
construction of the tennis court. He noted that because
of the new addition, they decided if they were ever to
construct a tennis court, it should be done now before
the asphalt for the new driveway is installed. He
stated that his architect checked with City staff
regarding the requirements and apparently misunderstood
the need for a grading permit, although he was aware
that there were additional requirements to be met for
the tennis court fence. He stated that they intend to
meet all requirements necessary however the time limit
involved is a major issue.
Assistant Zoning Administrator Gaffron explained the
slope and retaining wall area. He noted that they
propose a 10' fence whereas only a 3 -1/2' fence is
allowed and that although it was not within the 75'
lakeshore setback, it did not meet the average lakeshore
setback, however this would not affect the adjacent
neighbors because it was not within their view. He
stated that he talked to the tennis court contractor the
previous week and indicated that staff would grant him a
grading permit on the staff review basis subject to
submitting a reasonable grading plan and then proceed
with applying for a variance for the fence, however the
grading being done was more extensive than indicated by
the contractor.
Attorney Barrett stated that for a conditional use
permit, the Council has the authority to waive referral
of the application to the Planning Commission.

Councilmember Frahm stated that the retaining wall
should be completed immediately for erosion control and
he felt the conditional use permit should be treated as
after-the-fact.

RESOLUTION
WILLIAMS
AVENUE
#2062
City Administrator Bernhardson recommended that the
retaining wall work be completed and finish the final
grading at Mr. Nelson's risk pending the outcome of the
review. The Planning Commission will informally review
the matter at its October 20th meeting and a notice of
public hearing will be published for the November 10th
Council meeting. In addition, this matter will be
treated as an after - the -fact variance.
Council concurred with City Administrator Bernhardson's
recommendation and informed Mr. Nelson that his
contractor and architect should meet with Building
Inspector Jacobs immediately to discuss the retaining
wall.
Mr. Williams' son -in -law was present for this matter.
City Administrator Bernhardson explained the request for
a side setback variance to 5.2' to construct a 2nd story
addition. Additionally, the original request included a
hardcover variance, however Planning Commission
recommended that the maximum hardcover on the property
be no greater than the pre- existing 36.4% finding that
the hardcover variance is justified by the need for an
easier garage access.
It was moved by Councilmember Callahan, seconded by
Mayor Butler, to adopt Resolution #2062 granting the
variances as drafted. Motion, Ayes 3, Nays 0.

USE PERMIT
City Administrator Bernhardson explained the request for
a property line setback variance to construct an
addition to the barn which is currently located
approximately 39' from the existing lot line. He stated
that the applicant intends to purchase the parcel to the
west from Mr. Crosby and the only affected neighbor, Mr.
Wildman, has submitted a letter of concurrance. He
E

noted that a conditional use permit is required for the
keeping of the horses in a lakeshore zone. The parcel
used for horse credit is partially in the rural zone and
partially in the lakeshore zone.
It was moved by Councilmember Callahan, seconded by
Mayor Butler, to adopt Resolution #2063 as drafted
approving the request. Motion, Ayes 3, Nays 0.
#1073 JAMES DEANOVIC
2050 SHORELINE DRIVE
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT
RESOLUTION #2064
Mr. Deanovic was not present nor a representative for
this matter.
City Administrator Bernhardson explained the request for
a conditional use permit for grading in excess of 100
cubic yards for a new house. The conditional use permit
includes a variance because a small portion of the
grading is in the 0 -75' lakeshore setback zone. In
addition, because the lakeshore parcel is a separate tax
parcel, staff is recommending a special lot combination
in order to allow a dock.
Assistant Zoning Administrator Gaffron noted that this
application addresses the grading only and that the
proposed pool on the property should be a separate issue
with concerns, therefore, Finding 3A referencing the
pool should be omitted from the drafted resolution.
It was moved by Mayor Butler, seconded by Councilmember
Frahm, to adopt Resolution #2064 amending it to omit
Finding 3A. Motion, Ayes 3, Nays 0.
#1075 JOSEPH DURDA
3135 NORTH SHORE DRIVE
VARIANCE
RESOLUTION #2065
Attorney Ray Piirainen was present representing the
Durda's.
City Administrator Bernhardson explained the request for
hardcover /structure variances in the 0 -75' zone to
construct a balcony walkway and an after - the -fact
variance for the deck. He explained that the house was
constructed prior to the 75' setback requirement and in
order to allow egress from a sliding door, staff issued
a permit (perhaps in error) for a balcony walkway to be
constructed as minimally as possible. This spring, the
applicant replaced an existing 72 s.f. patio with a 144
s.f. wood deck without a permit. He noted another issue
10

#1075 DURDA CONTINUED
being that the deck and stairs are approximately 25'
from the edge of the pond which is considered as part of
Lake Minnetonka and therefore the 75' setback applies.
Mayor Butler stated that it is her recommendation that
all plastic be removed due to the closeness of the lake
and that the decks be allowed if they meet the
standards used for decks in minimizing the impact of
hardcover.
It was moved by Councilmember Callahan, seconded by
Mayor Butler, to adopt Resolution #2065 amending it to
require removal of all plastic not allowing the
replacement with a geotechnical fabric. Motion, Ayes 2,
Nays 1. Councilmember Frahm voted nay stating for the
record that he wanted to indicate to Mr. Durda, Planning
Commission, and future Council, that personally he has
been "inched enough on this property and would look
askant at anymore hardcover whether put in legally or
illegally and would require it be taken out ".
#1077 INGEBORG CICI
875 WAYZATA BLVD.
VARIANCE TO MORATORIUM
City Administrator Bernhardson explained that prior to
formal action by Planning Commission for Application
#1062 Conditional Use Permit /Commercial Site Plan,
Council must first act on approval of a variance to the
temporary moratorium ordinance involving the Highway 12
Study Area, particularly as it relates to access.
Additionally, because the only permitted access by MnDOT
at this point is opposite the access drive of Vineyard
of the Lake Church and could entail approximately $40-
50,000 for construction of a left turn lane and access
road, Applicant wishes to find out if the City is
interested in cost sharing of this project.
Present for this matter were Mr. & Mrs. Ingeborg Cici
and their selling agent Mary Weinzierl.
Ms. Weinzier 1 stated that Mrs. Cici operates the Busy
Beaver Day Care which has been in that location for 8
years with no accidents occuring during that time. She
noted that in trying to get access from Hwy. 12, the
City Engineer has proposed going as far east as possible
on the property and sharing an access with the cemetery.
Because this is a real hazardous area, applicant feels
this should be a shared cost project due to it being a
health and welfare issue and that others will be using
this turn lane.

#1077 CICI CONTINUED
Mayor Butler stated that in the normal course of
events, the necessary improvements to accomodate the
developer are to be paid for by the developer.
Mr. Cici, who is an engineer, reviewed with the Council,
the access requirements and the alternate access he
proposes that has been approved by the Corp of
Engineers and is in the process of being approved by
MnDOT.
City Administrator Bernhardson asked applicants if the
City Engineer approves their revised access proposal
which would solely serve their property, would they
accept the total expense of construction?
Mr. & Mrs. Cici stated they would agree with that.
City Administrator Bernhardson stated that staff will
refer this proposal to the City Engineer for his review.
It was moved by Councilmember Frahm, seconded by Mayor
Butler, to approve granting the variance to the Limited
Development Moratorium. Motion, Ayes 3, Nays 0.

CITY ADMINISTRATOR'S REPORT:
CARLSON /STEBBINS REQUEST FOR MUNICIPAL SEWER
City Administrator Bernhardson explained the letter from
Bruce Carlson requesting Council to again review the
issue of sewer for the property that Jeff Stebbins had
requested sewer hookup last year, 2165 Watertown Road.
He stated that the issue would involve amending the
City's policy which states that sewer be permitted in
rural zones for properties that abut sewer only as a
last resort.
12
MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO COUNCIL MEETING HELD OCTOBER 13, 1986
CARLSON REQUEST CONTINUED
Mayor Butler stated that she was concerned with creating
a chain of properties adjacent to sewered properties and
the effects of that on the comprehensive plan.
Bruce Carslon was present for this matter and stated, as
listed in his letter, numerous agencies concur that
sewer is preferable to septic systems. He stated that
he felt the soil borings for that property were marginal
at best and that no contractor will guarantee that a
septic system will work. He stated that sewer is
adjacent and available on his lot and allowing hook -up
would provide less liabilities.
Mayor Butler stated that the facts are that the
community adopted a comprehensive plan that states that
these areas would be 2- acre /5 -acre unsewered lots in
order to maintain the rural character and open space of
the community, in effect stating that if it is a
difficult piece of property and will not sustain a
septic system:
a) because of the expense, sewer is not wanted.
b) because of the development it creates, sewer is
not wanted.
c) if the property can, not handle its own septic
system, the property should not be developed.
Mr. Carlson stated that if there was no alterntive other
than septic system available he could accept that,
however there is an alternative.
Councilmember Frahm stated that there is an entire
perimeter adjacent to sewer and the line must be draw at
a certain point in which the comprehensive plan does
draw the line, and in order to approve his request the
comprehensive plan would have to be amended.
Assistant Zoning Administrator Gaffron stated that staff
feels its success rate with mound systems has been very
good and feels that this property can sustain a workable
septic system.
Councilmember Callahan stated that Mr. Carlson's points
are well taken, however he agrees with Mayor Butler and
Councilmember Frahm's opinion.
It'was moved by Mayor Butler, seconded by Councilmember
Frahm, to direct staff to re -draft a denial for sewer to
this property with the appropriate amendments from the
Stebbins' denial back in November of 1985. Motion, Ayes

BOW AND ARROW HUNTING
ORDINANCE NO. 25, SECOND SERIES
Dean M. Westby, 385 Orono Orchard Rd. S.; and Stan
Lemmerman, 1515'Rainbow, Maple Plain, were present for
this matter.
City Administrator Bernhardson reviewed the issues
involved in allowing Bow and Arrow hunting for certain
game animals (particularly deer, in this case) in Orono
being:
1) Should bow and arrow discharge for purposes of
hunting be allowed in the community under any
circumstances.
2) If so, what conditions would be imposed on a bow
and arrow discharge for hunting.
He reviewed staff's recommended circumstances for
hunting to be allowed:
- demonstrated nuisance of that game animal to the
property owner
- written permission from property owner and that
hunter possess a state deer hunting permit
-no hunting be done within 100 feet of any property
line, within 500 feet of any buildings or 200 feet
of any livestock
- hunting can be done only during the appropriate
season
-that the hunter receive no compensation for the
removal service apart from retention of animals
killed.
Mr. Lemmerman stated that the average distance involved
in hunting a deer with a bow and arrow is 15 -20 yards
and 99% of the time is done from an elevated stand.
Therefore, he feels that for bow and arrow hunting, 100
feet from any building at an elevated stand would be
appropriate as opposed to the recommended 500 feet.

Planning Commission member Goetten expressed concerns
with allowing any hunting done in the City of Orono.

No. 25, Second Series to permit the discharge of bow and
arrow for the hunting of games animals under controlled
