RECOGNITION OF FIRE CHIEFS
City Administrator Bernhardson explained that about a
month ago the Council was informed that the insurance
service office rating for hydranted areas was reduced
from Class 7 to Class 6. Council felt it appropriate to
recognize the Fire Chiefs of the four Communities that
serve the City of Orono at a Council meeting. He noted
that Chief Ray McCoy of the Maple Plain Fire Department
was unable to attend this meeting.
City Administrator Bernhardson introduced Chief Don
Bryce of the Mound Fire Department. Chief Bryce has
been with the Mound Fire Department for 22 years,
serving the last three years as Chief. He is a
carpenter by occupation serving as foremen and deals
with fire restoration work.
Chief Bryce stated that he attended the International
Association of Fire Chief's conference last week in St.
Louis with Chief Paul Klapprich of Wayzata. He stated
that it was a very informative training conference. He
stated that the Mound Fire Department was established in
1923 and currently has a force of 37 fire fighters.
Their equipment consists of 3 pumpers (1,000 gpm to
1,500 gpm), 1001. aerial ladder, grass rig, and heavy
duty van. Orono emergency calls to the Mound Fire Dept.
during 1985 to 1986 were 19% of the total calls; Orono's
1987 year -to -date calls are up to 23% of the total
calls.
In response to Mayor Grabek's question, Chief Bryce
stated that, based on what he saw at the conference, the
1

RECOGNITION OF FIRE CHIEFS CONTINUED
Mound Fire Departments' equipment, manpower, and
training is compatible to comparable cities.
City Administrator Bernhardson introduced Chief Paul
Klapprich of the Wayzata Fire Department.
Chief Klapprich stated that the Wayzata Fire Department
was established in 1912 and currently has a force of 30
fire fighters. Their equipment consists of a 2,000 gpm
pumper, snorkel pumper, rescue van, and utility van. In
1986, only 3 emergency calls of the total 107 calls were
from Orono. In 1987 year -to -date they have had 9
emergency calls from Orono. He noted that the increase
is in part due to the dry summer.
City Administrator Bernhardson introduced Chief Rick
Perry of the Long Lake Fire Department. Chief Perry is
an Orono resident and operates Perry's Auto Service in
Long Lake. Chief Perry has been on the Long Lake Fire
Department for 20 years and served as Chief for the past
five years.
Chief Perry stated that the Long Lake Fire Department
was established in 1915 and currently has a force of 27
fire fighters which includes two women firefighters.
Their equipment consists of 3 pumpers, 2 tankers, rescue
truck, utility pick -up, and a boat. He noted that the
boat and the oldest 1956 pumper needs to be replaced.
In 1986, 68 emergency calls of the total 121 calls were
from Orono. The total calls for 1987 year -to -date are
117, noting again the dry summer accounting for the
increase. He noted that there are a number of false
emergency calls of non - permit burns or persons not
calling in their burning permit number. He felt this
issue should be addressed.
Mayor Grabek asked about the strategy for fighting a
f ire on Big Island.
Chief Perry stated that due to the elevation and
proximity of the homes on Big Island, they would
probably only be able to protect the surrounding
property of the house on fire, feeling that during
certain times of the year it is an extremely difficult
situation.
City Administrator Bernhardson stated that the Maple
Plain Fire Department was established in 1930 and
currently has a force of 30 fire fighters. Their
equipment consists of 2 pumpers, 2 tankers, grass rig,
and a rescue van. In 1986, 13 emergency calls of the
total 138 calls were in Orono. Total 1987 year -to -date
calls are 121, predicting to set a record this year.

LAKE MINNETONKA CONSERVATION DISTRICT REPORT
There was no LMCD Report.
PLANNING COMMISSION COMMENTS
Planning Commissioner Bellows had no comments as this
time.
PUBLIC COMMENTS
Irene Standa, 2659 Casco Point Road, noted a problem of
speeders on Casco Point Road, noting that there are many
little kids in the area. She also noted the accident
last week involving child.
Chief Kilbo suggested that the local residents report
the license plate numbers of cars speeding to the police
department, in addition to keeping children from playing
in the road.
City Administrator Bernhardson noted that the narrowness
of Casco Point Road gives the perception that cars are
speeding. He noted that he was contacted by Chief Kilbo
regarding last weeks accident and the Chief had reviewed
possible appropriate actions he would be taking.
ZONING ADMINISTRATOR'S REPORT:
#1176 RICHARD PUTNAM
2765 CASCO POINT ROAD
VARIANCES
FINAL RESOLUTION
City Administrator Bernhardson stated that this
application was conceptually approved by Council at
their August 10th meeting. In the interim a thorough
review of the plat map and survey indicated that the 20'
strip at the east end of the survey is actually the 20'
dedicated for right -of -way on the plat of Spring Park,
although only a small portion of the actual traveled
roadway is within this 20' corridor. This technically
results in the need to grant a front (street) setback
variance for a 20' setback instead of the 30' required,
although the paved roadway will still be 40' from the
garage. Staff recommends final approval of the proposal
including this additional variance.
Richard Putnam was present for this matter and stated he
9

#1176 RICHARD PUTNAM CONTINUED
approved of the revised drafted resolution.
Councilmember Goetten noted the numerous variances
requested in this application involving a very limited
substandard lot which is one reason to carefully review
and /or deny.
Planning Commissioner Bellows felt that the Planning
Commission should review the additional variance before
Council takes action. '
It was noted that at applicant's request to avoid a
time - consuming tabling, Planning Commission voted 4 -1 to
deny the variances noting that additional facts would be
needed to fairly consider the average setback issue.
It was moved by Mayor Grabek, seconded by Councilmember
Peterson, that due to the additional information
Application #1176 be referred back to the Planning
Commission for recommendation. Motion, Ayes 4, Nays 0.
#1179 ORONO COMMUNITY CHURCH '
770 & 950 OLD CRYSTAL BAY ROAD SOUTH
SUBDIVISION OF A LOT LINE REARRANGEMENT
RESOLUTION #2249
Orono Community Church representative Gary Connell was
present for this matter.
City Administrator Bernhardsori explained the application
for a Class I subdivision involving a rearrangement of a
lot line between Lots 1 and 2 to accomodate constrcution
of additions to the Church structure to meet all current
setbacks from the newly created lot line.
Councilmember Goetten noted concern that this
rearrangement could severly limit any future expansion
for the Church.
Gary Connell stated that the the church is aware of this
fact and are now working on a revised commercial site
plan.
It was moved by Councilmember Goetten, seconded by
Councilmember Sime, to adopt Resolution #2249 approving
the lot line rearrangement per staff recommendations.

VARIANCE
RESOLUTION #2250
City Administrator Bernhardson explained the request for
a front setback variance to install a new foundation to
the west portion of the existing house. When the house
was first built this was a porch but now is part of the
primary structure. Applicant is also proposing to
extend construction along the front line of the house.
A new foundation was installed for the principal
structure less than two years ago.
Zoning Administrator Mabusth stated that applicants
property consists of three separate lots totaling .77
acre in a 1 acre zone and recommended combination of the
-four lots as a condition of approval.
After discussion, applicants agreed to this condition.
It was moved by.Councilmember Sime, seconded by Mayor
Grabek, to adopt Resolution #2250 approving the variance
per staff recommendations and subject to combination of
the four lots. Motion, Ayes 4, Nays 0.
Lisa Blocker asked what right the City had to come onto
their property without their presence or consent and dig
footing holes? She stated that they are trying to
adhere to the City's procedures, yet the City abuses
their property in this way.
Zoning Administrator Mabusth stated that she was not
aware that this occurred until after the fact. She
noted that there was some question whether the City had
approved the previous footings. She stated that staff
dug approximately one foot down around one of the
existing footings.
Marty Blocker stated that he showed Councilmember
Peterson the new footings under the existing house and
also showed her the two footing holes dug around his
house, noting that the City did. not even have the
respect to re -fill the holes.
Councilmembers Peterson and Goetten confirmed seeing the
footing holes dug by staff.
Marty Blocker also noted that a new foundation was
approved to be installed under the existing house in

1986 without requiring a survey. He now is requesting
to replace the remaining foundation area and is required
to submit a survey and obtain a variance which is costly
to him in addition to wasting two months working time
for this procedure.
Mayor Grabek directed staff to check in the matter of
digging footing holes and review the application to
determine if a fee adjustment is appropriate.
#1183 JACK SWENSON
3020 NORTH SHORE DRIVE
AFTER— THE —FACT VARIANCE
City Administrator Bernhardson explained the request for
an after - the -fact. hardcover variance to allow the
construction of a stairs and deck platform within 75
feet of the shoreline extending from the dock over the
rip -rap area onto the shore. This structure apparently
replaced a similar sized existing structure. Generally,
council has not allowed structure within 0 -75' noting
that the only exceptions have been in areas of steep
'topography, a 4' wide walkway has been allowed for safe
access.
Jack and Kathryn Swenson were present for this matter.
Jack Swenson explained the rip -rap contractor had
destroyed the existing platform. In replacing the
platform, 'they were not aware that a permit was required
because they believed it was just work on the dock. He
felt that their situation is unique and would not set a
precedent if approved. He noted that his property
consists of 550 feet of channelshore and 278 feet of
lakeshore which puts a significant amount of area within
the 0 -75' zone. (The proposed increase in hardcover is
less than 1 %, and the total hardcover in the 0 -75'
setback is less than 1%.) Because of the channel, the
location for the safe dock is restricted. He noted
that the neighbors are in favor of the structure and
submitted a petition. He feels that the platform is a
beautiful structure that is consistant with the
neighborhood. He does not feel that these unique
conditions would be found in other circumstances,
therefore not setting any precedent.
Kathy Swenson asked the Council to consider the
aesthetic value of their structure. She stated that
they understand the need for codes to protect the
lakeshore. She stated that there are so many
unattractive things on Lake Minnetonka needed out of
necessity for recreational purposes such as marinas,
lights, boat launches, cranes. She hopes that the
aesthetic values are not lost through these restrictive
codes.
MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO COUNCIL MEETING HELD AUGUST 24, 1987
#1183 JACK SWENSON CONTINUED
In response to Councilmember Peterson's question, Jack
Swenson stated that the previous platform was about the
same size of the new 161x16' octagon platform.
Councilmember Goetten noted that the platform is mostly
over rip -rap rock, therefore the platform is hardcover
over hardcover. She felt this was an opportunity, with
such a unique situation, to approve this structure
without setting a precedent, being it is primarily a
replacement structure.
Councilmember Sime viewed the property and found the
structure to be very impressive. He felt that
considering the rip -rap that prevents run -off into the
lake, the massive amount of area for absorption of
water, and minimal increase in hardcover makes this an
insignificant issue. He also felt that the key issue
was that it is a replacement platform.
Zoning Aide Knott noted that the pink rock with plastic
under it consisting of 7400 s.f. was not calculated in
the hardcover calculations and should appropriately be
included in the 0 -75' calculation.
Mayor Grabek stated that they have to be concerned not
only about the run -off and hardcover on the shoreline,
but about building structures in the 0 -75' zone.
Approval of which would be a precedent noting that
others have been turned down for different types of
structures irregard less of the cost expended. He felt a
stairway platform over the rip -rap would privide ample
access to the dock. He felt that they should preserve
the lakeshore and the structure should not be considered
aesthetically. -
Neighbors present at the meeting confirmed that the
previous platform was about the same size as the new
platform; and stated they were very much in favor of the
replacement platform.
Planning Commissioner Bellows noted that the majority of
the Planning Commission (4 -2) felt that in the past
there has been an inequity in the system and a blind
spot regarding protecting the 0 -75' area in that the
precedent has been set that the only way to look at
these situations is by leaving it a blank slate. She
felt that some consideration be given in keeping some
sense of the lake as a gracefully elegant place. If the
City's intent is to protect the lake physically, they
also ought to consider the issue of making the lake
useable and making the lake a pleasant place to be.
7
MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO COUNCIL MEETING HELD AUGUST 24, 1987
#1183 JACK SWENSON CONTINUED
Which in turn gets into the issue, whether the City
likes it or not, of dealing with things on an individual
basis, which was very much the consensus of the Planning
Commission.
Mayor Grabek did not feel that the Councils have been
blind to the 0 -75' zone, in which approval has been
given in situations where a hardship is present, such as
steep slope, permanent docks due to ice damage. He felt
their purpose was to protect the shoreline regardless of
the looks. He felt the Planning Commission has been
misdirected in approving this structure.
It; was moved by Councilmember Sime, seconded by
Councilmember Goetten, to approve the after - the -fact
hardcover variance to allow a deck platform within 75
feet of the shoreline per the findings as listed by the
Planning Commission. Motion, Ayes 3, Nays 1. Mayor
Grabek voted nay stating that the Council was shirking
their responsibility to the 0 -75' and setting a
precedent. Additionally, he would like the Planning
,..Commission be given some direction in order to follow
the guidelines as set forth in the City code to protect
the 0 -75'' zone. Motion carried.
#1185 GARY CARLSON
965 EDGEWOOD HILLS ROAD
RENEWAL VARIANCE
RESOLUTION #2251
City Administrator Bernhardson explained the request for
a renewal variance approved by the City in 1983. The
only substantial change the staff recommends is the
granting of an underlying road and utility easement over
an existing easement that has been designated as a part
of a future turnaround for Edgewood Hills Road.
Gary Carlson was present for this matter and found no
problem with the proposed revision as stated.
It was moved by Councilmember Goetten, seconded by
Councilmember Peterson, to adopt Resolution #2251
approving the renewal variances subject to granting the
City an underlying road and utility easement over an
existing easement that has been designated as a part of
a future turnaround for Edgewood Hills Road; and subject
to notifying staff if additional fill is needed.
Motion, Ayes 4, Nays 0.

SUBDIVISION - CONCEPTUAL REVIEW
William Wear was present for this matter.
City Administrator Bernhardson explained the conceptual
0

#1169 WILLIAM WEAR CONTINUED
review of a proposed subdivision on 18.5 acres. Three
options (A,B & C) have been submitted. Planning
Commission recommended Option C because the roads have
been aligned and found no problem with the creations of
Outlots B & C for future development as long as
appropriate covenants are filed against each outlot.
Because of staff concerns regarding creation of
unbuildable outlots i.e. maintenance, tax forfeit,
future code standards, and precedent; staff recommends
that Outlots B & C either be required to be combined
with the adjacent lots - Option E (to be divided at a
future date if sewer is available and future zoning
finds outlots buildable); or to do away with Outlots B &
C and the area combined with adjacent residential lots _
Option F.
Bill Wear stated his preference for Option C. He is
opposed to staff's recommended Options E & F because he
believes the Outlots will be buildable in the future and
wants to retain these outlots himself.
CABLE TV REPORT
""After clarification to Council regarding the proposed
Options, it was moved by Mayor Grabek, seconded by
Councilmember Goetten, conceptually approving Options E
or F (applicant's choice) per staff recommendation.
Motion, Ayes 4, Nays 0.
City Administrator Bernhardson reviewed the Dowden Cable
Systems rate restructuring (of which the City has no
control over) and channel re- alignment.
Staff recommends that the Council stay abreast of the
channel realignment issue through its representative and
that should Councilmembers receive calls regarding the
rate increase that they should have the individuals
complaining write letters to the cable system expressing
their objections with copies to both the City of Orono
and Lake Minnetonka Cable Communications Commission.
It was moved by Mayor Grabek, seconded by Councilmember
Goetten, that the Council accept the information
regarding the cable system rates and channel
realignment. Motion, Ayes 4, Nays 0.
CITY ADMINISTRATOR'S REPORT:
CITY FACILITIES STUDY - CONSULTANT SELECTION
City Administrator Bernhardson noted that at the
Council's August 10, 1987 meeting, Council moved to
undertake a space study for the City facilities and
tabled the issue of selecting a consultant and the
amount of work authorized until this meeting.

CONSULTANT SELECTION CONTINUED
It was moved by Mayor Grabek, seconded by Councilmember
Sime, that Council select Jack Boarman and Associates as
the consultants to undertake the space study of the
facilities for Phase A and that the consultant and the
City Administrator report back with the results of Phase
A and a recommendation as to which phase or phases
should be undertaken to complete this study including
Phases B, C and /or D. Motion, Ayes 4, Nays 0.
Jack Boarman was present for this matter and stated he
looked forward to working with the City.
JEFF ESSEN
2648 CASCO POINT ROAD
BERM IN RIGHT —OF —WAY
Jeffrey and Barbara Essen were present for this matter.
City Administrator Bernhardson explained that during the
landscaping at 2648 Casco Point Road, the owner placed
approximately 3' to 4' earth berm in the front of his
property. The berm is approximately 90% in the City
street right -of -way. Staff recommends that the berm be
allowed to exist in the right -of -way but at a reduced
size so as to allow a 5' to 10' shoulder, maintain
proper drainage, no plantings allowed on the road side
of berm with the exception of grass. In addition staff
recommends a hold harmless agreement for the purpose of
the City maintaining the water shut -off valve located
within the berm. The property owner has also requested
a double curb cut on the property. Because of the
amount of traffic, traffic speeds, site distance and
road design, staff recommends that only one curb cut be
allowed.
Jeff Essen showed Council the site plan submitted with
the application for a new residence building permit.
After the building permit was issued, a landscape plan
was designed which has led to the berm and double curb
cut issue. He stated that they can resolve the berm
issue per staff recommendation. However, they would
request approval for the double curb cut for the same
reasons that staff feels it is a hazard. They feel it
is safer not to back out of the drive onto Casco Point
and drive out in a forward position. He also noted that
the circular drive provided more parking area in order
to avoid parking on Casco Point Road. He explained that
his house entry was specifically designed for a circular
drive, and elimination of the circular drive would
create aesthetic and incovenient access problems to the
main entry of the house.

JEFF ESSEN
2648 CASCO POINT ROAD
BERM IN RIGHT -OF -WAY CONTINUED
City Administrator Bernhardson stated that a driveway
turn - around could accomplish the same safe access onto
Casco Point Road as a circular driveway.
Jeff Essen pointed out that the turn - around would have
to be constructed within the front yard (aesthetically
not pleasing) as opposed to the standard turn - around off
to the sideyard of the property. He also noted that
there are several circular driveways on Casco Point
Road.
Public Works Coordinator Gerhardson stated his concern
was the heavy foliage near the second curb cut
obstructing views to access onto Casco Point Road.
Councilmember Goetten found no problem with the double
curb cut and agreed that it would provide safer and
easier access onto Casco Point Road.
'It was noted that the City Engineer has not reviewed
this matter.
City Attorney Blatz advised that the Council obtain the
City Engineer's recommendation- if the Council plans to
deny the double curb cut drive.
It was moved by Councilmember Goetten, seconded by
Councilmember Sime, to approve staff recommendation
regarding the berm and approval the double curb cut as
proposed. Motion, Ayes 2, Nays 2. Mayor Grabek and
Councilmember Peterson voted nay. Councilmember
Peterson stated she felt a back -up` apron was
more appropriate than a double curb cut. Motion tied.
The Essen's questioned why they
were not informed of
the
double curb
cut problem prior
to this i.e. when
the
building site
plan was submitted? Mr. Essen noted
that
the circular
drive was not an
afterthought, but
the
design of the
house was based on
the circular drive.
It was moved by Mayor Grabek, seconded by Councilmember
Sime, to direct the City Engineer to review the access
to determine if there is a safety concern and table this
matter pending the City Engineer's recommendation.
Motion, Ayes 4, Nays 0.

City Administrator Bernhardson explained the issue of
determineing whether the City of Orono will continue

Council thanked the Weekly News am Pioneer
representatives in attendance for their assistance in
this matter.
It was moved by Councilmember Sime, seconded by Mayor
Grabek, that the "Mayor's Article" format for
