STREET LIGHTING IMPROVEMENT
PUBLIC HEARING 7:00-7:10
RESOLUTION #2441
The affidavit of publication and certificate of
mailing was noted.
City Administrator Bernhardson explained the
purpose of the public hearing was to consider
installation of street lights and assessing the
cost of such a project to abutting property owners.
The proposed assessment cost would be approximately
$97,000 and approximate assessment costs would be
$7.00 per front foot for residentially used
property and $14.00 per front foot for commercially
used property. This would be the only assessment
to be spread on abutting properties on the entire
County Road 15 project. The Council should decide;
a.) to go ahead with the project, b.) what amount
should be financed through special assessments, c.)
how the balance should be financed either through
MSA or other funds.
Public Comments -
Sandy Rauschendorfer, 3895 Shoreline Drive asked
why the costs are not taken out of the General
Fund.
• Mayor Grabek stated that the lighting improvement
will be the only portion of the County Road 15
project assessed to the abutting property owners.

•STREET LIGHTING IMPROVEMENT CONTINUED
Ed Lehman, 2470 Carman Street stated he did not
feel that the installation of street lights was an
improvement to his property it was more of -an
advantage to the traffic on the County Road.
John Hollander, 200 Hollander Road asked how much
the electricity will cost the City per year.
Administrator Bernhardson stated it is estimated to
cost about $6,000 per year for the street lighting.
David Bye, 1910 Shadywood Road asked what the
lights looked like.
Administrator Bernhardson stated they are similar
to the lights on County Road 110 in Mound, they
have their own standard. ,
A gentleman asked what percentage of the total
street lighting costs were to be assessed to the
property.
Administrator Bernhardson stated that approximately
• 75% of the street lighting would be assessed to the
property owners, but the-sidewalks and other
improvements are to be paid for from other funds
with no other assessment.
Ed Lehman 'asked what happened to the idea of
paying for this from MSA funds.
Administrator Bernhardson stated that the City
could choose to take the funds for the
streetlighting from MSA but this would not only
decrease funds the City would have for the balance
of the improvements along County Road 15 but also
for MSA streets in other parts of the City.
Councilmember Goetten questioned the cost per
light east of County Road 19.
Lighting Consultant, Jim Regan stated that
eliminating lights on the east end of the project
would not only 'eliminate the lights but also the
wiring costs.
It was moved by Mayor Grabek, seconded by
Councilmember Sime to accept the street lighting
improvement and adopt Resolution #2441 authorizing
• Mayor and City Administrator to sign Supplement No.
1 to Agreement No. 74- 08 -87, Hennepin County

CONTINUATION OF HIGHWOOD ROAD AREA
STORM SEWER PUBLIC HEARING 7:34 -7:55
The affidavit of publication was noted.
City Administrator Bernhardson explained that this
was a continuation of a public hearing which was
held on April 25th. Since the last meeting the
City Engineer, Public Works Director, Councilmember
Sime and the City Administrator had been to the
site to explore some other alternatives and
discussed other ways to take care of the problem;
to look at detention of some of the water that is
coming on the north side of County Road 19 and
holding it there for an interim period of time.
The Engineer felt that to make it cost effective it
would necessitate removal of some trees to create a
ponding area to gain storage area. In addition a
larger detention basin in the back of Mr. Sauer's
property was also considered. This may not be a
cost effective solution either. Another
possibility is replacing only a portion of the
• existing tile, but Mr. McCurdy has indicated that
such would be inappropriate as it would tear up his
yard. Staff also considered ways to keep from
disrupting Highwood Road by jacking a pipe under
the road as opposed to having to trench a pipe.
That cost appears to be $10,000 more than trenching
without addressing the issue of temporary easements
to do the trenching. Staff also looked at the
issue of water quality and felt that water quality
was not affected by this area because it is a
watershed principally composed of natural woods.
Staff has recommended adoption
of Opition I,
installation of a 21" pipe,
coupled with
elimination of the street regrading
portion of this
project. Neighbors along there have not expressed
any strong desire to have regrading
done to protect
their properties from the overflow from Highwood.
The City could explore the condition of the
existing pipe as suggested by Mr.
McCurdy and Dr.
Vongries. A clean out of the line
may assist the
problem.
City Engineer Cook stated that
the other two
options would provide a 100 year
solution. The
problem with those solutions is
that the water
would be getting so high that it
•
would be to a
point where there could be property
damage.

•CONTINUATION OF HIGHWOOD ROAD AREA
U
Jan Ackerberg, 4075 Highwood Road asked why not use
' the property on the north side of County Road 19 as
a holding area.
City Engineer Cook stated in a small watershed such
as this, storm water cannot be held back for a very
long period of time.
Alexander Vongr'ies, 4051 Highwood Road stated he
purchased his property in December of 1986 and has
had only one problem which was after the July 23,
1987 storm. He asked what damage did any of these
properties sustain? What are the .benefits of such
a proposal compared to the extent of disruption to
the properties? He stated the existing pipe will
take care of a 100 year rain in 3 days as it did in
July. He also asked what would happen to the
existing storm sewer and if the expense and
disruption is justified.
Jan Ackerberg, stated he wanted to go on record as
opposing the project. Dale McCurdy, John Sandborn,
and Randy Sheeran also stated they opposed the
project.
Councilmember Goetten stated concern about debris
getting into the pipe and the number of properties
that are affected by this problem.
Engineer Cook stated if the baffleweir would
minimize the outlet rate out of this system, it
would keep the flow back in and allow as much time
as possible for the water to soak into Sauer's back
yard but when the water goes over the top there
would be free discharge, the water quality would
not be improved at that point in time. There are
two properties that have been affected by this and
they are Mr. Sauer and Mr. Baxter.
Councilmember Peterson asked if an estimate of
easement costs were available.
City Administrator stated easement costs were not
available at this time.
Mayor Grabek asked what kind of flow the existing
storm sewer was adequate to handle, if it were
operating properly.
Cook stated that if it were operating properly it
would probably handle a 5 year storm, which is
about 3 1/2 inches of rain in a very short period
of time.

CONTINUATION OF HIGHWOOD ROAD AREA
Mayor Grabek asked what it would cost to televise
the existing pipe to determine its condition.
.F Cook stated it would cost around $1,000 to televise
the pipe.
Councilmember Sime asked Mr. Sauer and Mr. Baxter
how many times they have had water in the basement.
Mr. Sauer stated that in 18 years he had never
received damage in the basement, only exterior
damage. Mr. Baxter stated he had water in the
basement only one time.
It was moved by Mayor Grabek-, seconded by
Councilmember Sime to inspect the existing pipe and
if there is additional work that needs to be
undertaken for a 5 year storm design capacity.
Councilmember Callahan asked who owned the existing
line.
City Administrator Bernhardson stated the line was
• privately owned by Mr. McCurdy.
Mr. McCurdy stated he would allow the televising of
the pipe but did not want any digging on his
property.
Councilmember Sime asked Mr. McCurdy if after
televising the line and it is determined that the
line needs repair, would you allow repair if the
City restores your property.
McCurdy and Vongries stated that they would allow
the City to make repairs to the line if it is
determined that is necessary and the City would
restore their property.
Mr. Vongries stated that if it is determined that
the entire line must be repaired he would not agree
to repair.
Mayor Grabek stated that if the entire line needs
to-be replaced then this project would be brought
back to the Council prior to any work being
undertaken.
Amended motion by Mayor Grabek, seconded by
• Councilmember Sime to televise the existing line

PUBLIC COMMENTS
John Hollander, 200 Hollander Road stated he had
three items he wanted to discuss: 1.) His black
cat, which -had been missing since April 17, had
returned this morning. He stated he felt someone
in the area had the cat and he is offering a
$600.00 cash reward for the arrest or conviction of
• the party or parties who had possession of his cat.
2.) He questioned why if the maximum allowed fence
height is 3 1/2 feet high, why do my neighbors have
fences over 3 1/2 feet in height? Mayor Grabek
stated the he should talk to staff regarding the
requirements on fencing. 3.) He asked if there is
anything the City can do to get the neighbors into
a homeowners association. Mayor Grabek stated the
City can not spend any more of the City's time and
money to resolve this issue. It is an issue the
neighbors will have to resolve among themselves.
Doug Klint stated he thought a final plat approval
for Casco Cove subdivision was going to be on
tonight's agenda. He stated it was approved in
December of 1986, there is a time limit of filing
the plat of June 1987, and the mortgage company
would not approve the loan because the division is
not complete. He stated he sold the property and
,a would like to file the final plat. He thought that
the City had all the necessary documents. Zoning
Administrator Mabusth informed me that some
documents were not present. Mr. Klint indicated
that now he has these documents and I would like
the Council to extend the time period for filing
until June 30, 1988.
Zoning Administrator Mabusth stated that staff must
now draft a new resolution for Council to act on
this application as the final plat approval expired
over six months ago. She stated this matter will

1885 CONCORDIA STREET
AFTER THE FACT CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT
RESOLUTION #2433
Applicant Phyllis Waye was present for this matter.
City Administrator Bernhardson stated this
application is an after - the -fact conditional use
permit for installation of various items to retain
a fairly steep bank after the July 23rd storm. The
restoration consists mainly of large boulders set
into the landscape plus rip -rap.
Mrs. Waye requested that the completion date be
changed due to the fact that some of the materials
are not available at this time and because of the
complexity of the work.
• It was moved by Councilmember Sime, seconded by
Mayor Grabek to adopt Resolution #2433 amending
Item #7 to read, resotration shall be completed by
a date to be determined by staff. Motion, Ayes 5,

#1129 TODD WATERS
3861 CASCO POINT ROAD
REQUEST TO AMEND COUNCIL DIRECTIVE
OF RESOLUTION #2292 /
Mr. Waters was present for this matter.
City Administrator Bernhardson stated this is a
request by Mr. Waters to erect a retaining wall to
maintain a walkout without having to go back and
raise the house and redo the basement wall in order
to eliminate the walkout. The retaining wall would
be out from the foundation wall 8 feet and out as
far as the original house line. This was tabled at
the last Council meeting on a 4-1 vote. Related to
this matter is Item #14 on tonight's agenda, which
is the feasibility report of the storm water
pondi.ng. There were three options presented by
Engineer Cook. The first option was the re-
installation of the current 8 inch pipe. This
would necessitate an overflow put in across an
• abutting property owners yard. Option 2 is the
installation of 10 inch pipe, the overflow could be
put in, but it was not mandatory. Option 3 is the
installation of an 18 inch pipe, which would
necessitate no overflow.

1011129 TODD WATERS CONTINUED
Mr. Waters stated he would prefer to do the work
privately. He stated the original pipe was an 8
inch pipe which ran under the original old house
and does not. feel an 8 inch pipe wi 11 be adequate.
Waters asked if the City would provide the
engineering for the project and the property owners
would take care of the project. He also requested
an extension of time from June 15 to July 15.
Mayor Grabek stated he felt the Council would be
amiss to pay for the engineering of this project
and was not in favor of extending the deadline
date.
Mr. Dennis stated that the ponding area was
decreased because of a larger house being built but
other factors such as the houses to the north have
increased hardcover. He stated he will have to go
to Court and put a restraining order on the Waters'
property. He stated he has spent a lot of money to
raise his house up 2 feet and the water keeps
rising.
• It was moved by Mayor Grabek to have the property
owner return the property to its original
condition. Motion failed for lack of a second.
Administrator Bernhardson stated that in the
original resolution Waters was to put back the 8
inch pipe. Most of the restoration is near the
house, but within the 0 -75' zone, the Council may
consider a 10 or 18 inch pipe and whether it is
done privately or publicly.
It was moved by Mayor Grabek to table this time.
Motion failed for lack of a second.
It was moved by Councilmember Sime, seconded by
Councilmember Goetten to approve the regrading,
allowing the retaining wall 8 feet from the house
along the lakeside, the installation of a 10 inch
drain pipe at the expense of Mr. Waters and grant
an extension of time to July 15, 1988 for complete
restoration. Motion, Ayes 4, Nays 1. Mayor Grabek
voted nay.
#1262 CURT HAGFORS
1412 BALDUR PARK ROAD
REQUEST FOR AMENDMENTS TO

Mr. Hagfors was present for this matter.
Administrator Berhnardson reviewed this application
for Council. Since his previous appearance before
MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO COUNCIL MEETING HELD MAY 23, 1988
• #1262 CURT HAGFORS CONTINUED
Council he has decided to merely raise the house
and redo the foundation, which would create a
slight side yard setback variance of about 4 to 6
inches. In addition he would increase the garage
setback from the street from 17 to 21 feet. This
will increase the driveway hardcover and the
overall hardcover increases about 125 square feet.
Mr. Hagfors stated he needs more room behind the
garage for parking and increased safety. He stated
this will place his garage in line with neighboring
properties. The expense of moving the house is
high therefore he would like to just lift it up
rather than moving it laterally.
Councilmember Goetten stated there are changes on
all of the requests and this should go back to the
Planning Commission. She stated there were too
many changes to the original application.
Mr. Hagfors stated he would just relocate the
garage and that he wished to not go back to
Planning Commission to save time.
It was moved by Mayor Grabek, seconded by
Councilmember Sime to approve the variance request
which included increase in hardcover of 1.7 %.

APPEAL
Paul Hauge, the Attorney representing applicant was
present. Also present was Dave LaPorte and Carl
Anderson manger of this operation, and Rob White
owner of the building.
Administrator Bernhardson stated this is an appeal
of the Zoning Administrator's interpretation of the
zoning code. Northern Hydraulics recently started
to move into a building in the City's Industrial
Zone. Zoning Administrator Mabusth's
interpretation, of our present code in which the
Planning Commission concurred, is that the retail
portion of this operation is not permitted. A
separate issue would be whether it is an
appropriate use in our industrial zone and if the
Council concurs with staff and Planning Commission
that such is, it would necessitate a zoning code
amendment to allow such use.
Paul Hauge stated that the type of operation
Northern Hydraulics proposes in this location would
fit into the zoning code which deals with
wholesaling and warehousing under Sections 10.50
• Zoning Administrator Mabusth stated that
approximately six months before, the leasing agent
for VCI called and stated that Northern Hydraulics
was looking at the facility and the leasing agent
was advised they would have to come in for a zoning

#1223 JOHN WALDRON
1951 CONCORDIA STREET
Administrator Bernhardson stated the Council had
approved a three foot exposed wall about three feet
anchored back into the bank with a slope down to
the lake. He has a July 1 deadline date to get his
construction done. He is now proposing to have two
sets of walls, one of which would be a three foot
high wall and another two foot high wall. This
design should provide more stability.
Engineer Cook concurred this would be a more stable
wall.
It was moved by Councilmember Callahan, seconded by
Councilmember Peterson to turn down the request.
Motion, Ayes 2, Nays 3. Motion fails.
Assistant Zoning Administrator stated this was
brought before the Council because Mr. Waldron had
applied for a building permit for the wall and the
design was different than the wall described in the
resolution adopted by Council on April 11.

ENGINEER'S REPORT:
This item was discussed under Item #7 on the
agenda.
MAYOR'S REPORT:
Mayor Grabek stated he had met with the Long Lake
City Council in an effort to resolve some of the
problems between the two cities. Since the two
cities already have various areas of cooperation,
that we try and proceed to other areas and not
fight each other. But as a "precondition they would
have to have to withdraw the annexation threat to
Orono and it was indicated that Long Lake could not
withdraw it at the present time. They did want to
proceed to annex the sewer plant property. They
• gave me the indication that is the only property
with which they are, concerned. The suggestion of a
Long_ Lake councilmember was to proceed per the
Mayor's suggestion of a meeting of joint Councils
and a facilitator was to address this main
problem first if that seems to be a precondition or
a stumbling block. The Mayor found no
disagreement. It was suggested at that time that
the two cities get together on a joint Council
meeting in June or July, as early as possible, with
a facilitator. If at this meeting it comes out
that they are interested in more than the sewer
plant property within the City of Orono, Orono
would have a difficult time with any further
discussion because it is a threat to our tax base
if they annex certain properties of our city. It
is the Mayor's recommendation that the City meet
with Long Lake at a convenient time and see if the
cities can facilitate some resolve to a very small
portion of land that meets both the needs of our
city and citizens and theirs.
It was moved by Councilmember Sime, seconded by
Councilmember Goetten, that the Orono Council
concur with the direction presented by the Mayor at
the Long Lake Council meeting on May 17, 1988 and
• direct the Orono Mayor and staff to establish the
first meeting with the facilitator and the City
Council of Long Lake in the June /July timeframe.
