He said he would like to come back before the Council on August 11 and hear their response after their review of the issues. He indicated that the public road is not maintained or plowed by the City and would like it to be so. Jabbour informed Barrett that such issues are routinely handled by City Staff. 2 MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO CITY COUNCIL • MEETING HELD ON JULY 28,1997 PUBLIC COMMENTS Mike Barrett Continued Greg Gappa said it was his understanding that the City has not maintained the road but will follow up on the issue. Jabbour instructed Staff to review the facts and make a recommendation. He asked that the affected residents be notified prior to the August 11 meeting if the issue can be resolved. Khosrow Daivar, 1082 Loma Linda, informed the Council he had added a screened in area on his deck and the work was stopped by the building inspector, who informed him of the need for a building permit and a variance from the average lakeshore setback requirement. The screened area is complete except for painting. Daivar said his property is on a peninsula. Daivar said he spoke with Van Zomeren of the need to make an application for a variance and provide a survey of the property. Daivar feels the law is should be changed. He indicated he feels he has a hardship regarding the screened area. Jabbour informed Daivar that only the building inspector can make the determination regarding the need for a building permit. Barrett agreed that a building permit cannot be waived, but if denied, it can be appealed to the Council. Daivar voiced his concern with the cost of the application. He feels the process is a hardship. Jabbour noted the purpose of the law and his support of it. Goetten reiterated that the work was begun without obtaining a permit, and Daivar was notified of his need for a variance. Daivar said he did not think he needed to have a building permit. 3 11 MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING HELD ON JULY 28,1997 • PUBLIC COMMENTS Khosrow Daivar Continued Jabbour told Daivar that all similar cases require going through the variance process. Kelley related the importance of the law. He informed Daivar that with the hardship as noted, he should probably be able to receive the variance for the screened area. Van Zomeren indicated that there is no survey on file. She said the need to acquire one would involve a time issue for Daivar. Jabbour said staff would have to review the history of the conformity of the property. He asked Van Zomeren to work with the building inspector in the variance process. Allan Engleman, 315 Old Crystal Bay Road, voiced his outrage with the defacing of the City property by landscape workers using a skid loader. He informed Council that the damage must be corrected. • Council indicated the matter would be addressed. ZONING ADMINISTRATOR'S REPORT ( * 94) #2187 DONALD AND ROBIN HELGAGER, 3265 SIXTH AVENUE NORTH - VARIANCES - RESOLUTION NO. 3931 Goetten moved, Peterson seconded, to adopt Resolution No. 3931, granting side setback, average lakeshore setback and lakeshore setback variances for construction of additions to the residence at 3265 Sixth Avenue North for Donald and Robin Helgager.

The garage is non - conforming due to its location in the street yard, 4'6" off the property line. The request would result in added bulk to the structure. The Planning Commission recommended approval on a 5:1 vote contrary to Staff s recommendation for denial with storage space located elsewhere on the property. Van Zomeren said Staff did not believe there was a hardship to justify the variance. Curtis Palmer said the residence is on a steep hill and access to the rear of the property is impossible resulting in it not being practical to build any storage unit elsewhere. He said he would like the ability to have a small workshop in his garage as well as use it to store his tools. • Jabbour received confirmation from the applicant that the topography of the property created the hardship and egress and ingress were difficult. Palmer informed Goetten that the storage area would be for personal use. Kelley said he agreed with Staff s recommendation. Kelley moved, Goetten seconded, to deny Application #2254. Peterson said she had mixed feelings about the request. She said she agrees with the applicant regarding the topography not allowing space for another structure. She asked for clarification on whether the added structure would be located behind the garage. Palmer said the space would be shown as a dormer in the front of the garage noting the footprint would not change. Van Zomeren reviewed the elevations of the proposed structure. She indicated that the garage was being raised to gain headroom and floor space. • MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING HELD ON JULY 28, 1997 • ( #5 - #2254 Curtis and Barbara Palmer - Continued) Kelley was informed that the footage of the second story space would be the same as the garage below with 22'x20' of usable space planned. Goetten noted that it is difficult to add structure to a non - conforming use. Kelley was informed that no plumbing will be added. Flint said the applicant has shown a hardship and agreed with Planning Commission recommendation for approval. Jabbour indicated the topography problems and limited space. He said he looks at applications issue by issue and would agree with the Planning Commission. Kelley withdrew his motion. • Flint moved, Peterson seconded, to approve Resolution No. 3932 with the condition that no plumbing fixtures would be allowed. Vote: Ayes 5, Nay 0.

Gaffron reported that the request is for the lot area variance similar to those granted to other Record Lots per the RS District ordinances which began in 1983. The property on Big Island was reviewed together, grouped by ownership, categorized by size, and granted a variance for building of Record Lots. The owners of lots that were allowed this variance were required to execute variance documents. This property was vacant at that time and has changed ownership several times. The documents were not signed for the subject property. The applicant would like to guarantee his right to build on the property and formally establish the automatic lot area variance. Gaffron reviewed the .64 acre property, which is 100' wide x 283' deep, a size common • to other lots in the area. Gaffron said the applicant would be required to obtain a survey of the property if he desires building permits. Gaffron said the property is located in the 5 acre zoning and would not be eligible for subdivision. Kelley moved, Goetten seconded, to approve Resolution No. 3935. Vote: Ayes 5, Nays 0. ( * #9) #2260 BENJAMIN MILBRATH, 3265 CARMAN ROAD - CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT - RESOLUTION NO. 3936 Goetten moved, Peterson seconded, to adopt Resolution No. 3936. Vote: Ayes 5, Nays 0.

She indicated that the applicant is the developer of the property currently under purchase agreement from Thomas Meyer. The 1.77 acre property is located in the LR -lA Zoning District, which requires 2 acres. Van Zomeren said she believes there is enough space on the property for a building pad that would meet all required setbacks. The Planning Commission unanimously recommended approval. Staff recommended approval or amendment of the resolution. Jabbour moved, Goetten seconded, to approve Resolution No. 3937. Peterson asked about the proposed structure and its relationship to the Luce Line and Staffs recommendation. Van Zomeren said she would preferred to have seen the building plan but the size of the lot is adequate. Jabbour amended his motion, Goetten seconded, to include no further variances will be . allowed. Vote: Ayes 5, Nays 0.

( #12) #2265 ROBERT LUND FOR GRAYDON K. AND MICHELLE M. NEWMAN, 1655 BOHNS POINT ROAD - VARIANCES - RESOLUTION NO. 3939 Architect, Robert Lund, represented the applicants. Van Zomeren reported that the request is for average lakeshore setback variance and hardcover variances in the 0 -75' and 75 -250', which would remain consistent with current percentages. The property owners plan to remove an existing residence and construct a new residence. The property is on a pie- shaped lot which is the reason for 8 • MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING HELD ON JULY 28,1997 ( #12. - #2265 Robert Lund for Graydon K. & Michelle M. Newman - Continued) the average lakeshore setback request. The adjacent residences are behind the proposed structure. The proposed structure would be more than 100' from the lakeshore. Goetten asked for more visual details of the property. The 12.3% hardcover in the 0 -75' setback was clarified. Goetten had questioned whether the Planning Commission had discussed any removals in that area. Van Zomeren said there is currently 3132 s.f. of hardcover in the 0 -75' and is proposed at 3120 s.f. A deck platform was removed by the lakeshore to allow for approval of a prior variance request. Lund said there is 12' of terrace around the house that is being removed. Goetten noted that the packet did not include any information regarding what was included in the 12.5% of hardcover. • Gaffron reported that the hardcover includes a deck, walkway, retaining wall and terrace area and stone block. Jabbour asked if it exists now. Gaffron said some was taken out and a different walkway installed. Lund said the walkway consists of broken up rubble. Jabbour noted the explanation why a seawall was required during the last discussion of the property. Jabbour said the existing structure includes riprap and a retaining wall. Gaffron said this was not an issue from Staff s viewpoint. Goetten moved, Peterson seconded, to adopt Resolution No. 3939. Vote: Ayes 5, Nays 0. ( * #13) #2266 RONALD AND ROBIN HOHRMAN,190 CYGNET PLACE - VARIANCE - RESOLUTION NO. 3940 Goetten moved, Peterson seconded, to adopt Resolution No. 3940.

Vote: Ayes 5, Nays 0. MAYOR/COUNCIL REPORT Goetten reported that Orono resident, Summer Taylor, came to the last Highway 12 Design Committee Meeting with a petition requesting that the Stubbs Bay Road access • to Highway 12 be closed as soon as possible. Goetten said she is unsure whether this road should be closed but would like to see the Council respond to this request. Jabbour said he feels the road should be closed but the City needs to investigate whether they are able to receive the 5% rebate from the railroad which is available when a railroad crossing is eliminated. Barrett cautioned the Council that the decision to close the road would be irrevocable and difficult to gain back if it was abandoned. Jabbour said the commitment would not be made at this time. Kelley indicated that this road would be closed when Highway 12 reconstruction occurred but reiterated Barrett's concern. Kelley said it was vital to make the residents aware of a delayed response from the fire and police departments if such closure occurred. He indicated that a letter should be sent to the residents regarding this ramification. 10 40 MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO CITY COUNCIL • MEETING HELD ON JULY 28,1997 (MAYOR COUNCIL REPORT - Continued) Goetten said she does not want to see people taking left turns at this intersection and is also concerned with excessive speeds. Jabbour indicated the possible need for a frontage road. He cited the area is rural. Kelley said if the road was closed, the decision would be irreversible and would still require maintenance. He said the residents should be made aware of the need to maintain the road and of all the points involved that would affect them if the closure occurred. Jabbour said with the millions of dollars that will be spent on the intersection, the City needs to be assured that they would receive the 5% from the railroad. • Kelley said there are probably railroad policies regarding safety. He asked Staff to send a letter to the railroad. Moorse said a public hearing would have to be held. Jabbour said no formal action would be taken at this time regarding the right -of -way, and Mn/DOT would have to be contacted. Kelley asked that the residents of Watertown Road be contacted regarding a possible closing of Stubbs Bay Road. Peterson reminded Council of the National Night Out being held Tuesday, August 5 from 6:00 -9:00 p.m. Activities will be held at Long Lake State Bank and Rick's Super Valu. Jabbour asked that this activity be posted. 11 • MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING HELD ON JULY 28,1997 ( #16) APPOINTMENT OF REPRESENTATIVE TO LMCD Jabbour noted the Council's prior discussions regarding representing Orono at the LMCD meetings. He said he has spoken with the new members of the LMCD regarding the vision of the LMCD as well as with members of the DNR about who is the lake's custodian. He said he would like the City to possibly introduce legislation regarding this topic to initiate action. Jabbour noted the enabling legislation was changed to provide for appointed representation versus elected representation. Jabbour said the City should either totally opt out from the LMCD or send representation. He is concerned that the only benefit Orono receives from the LMCD is milfoil harvesting. Jabbour said the City should have a representative who shares the same philosophy as the City. He indicated there is a problem with the LMCD wanting to recodify the ordinances, and arbitrarily doing so, citing an example. Jabbour suggested Lili McMillan represent the City. Kelley questioned whether the representative should also be a lake resident. • Jabbour said the representative should be from the Planning Commission or Council. He said McMillan has been monitoring the activities of the LMCD the past year and has an interest in this area. Jabbour said McMillan is willing to make the commitment, add a fresh viewpoint, and be able to view the lake issues as a whole. Jabbour said he would like to see the LMCD follow their management plan and feels safety, ecology, and aesthetics are important issues. He noted the LMCD was to offer lake safety courses and have not done so. He would like to see a pilot program begun for mandatory licensing of boat operators and indicated a former director of the LMCD vetoed this suggestion. Jabbour said there is no process in place by which to remove a boat driver. Kelley moved, Goetten seconded, to appoint Lili McMillan as representative to the LMCD Board on an interim basis. This appointment would be revisited in one year's time. 12 MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO CITY COUNCIL • MEETING HELD ON JULY 28,1997 ( #16 APPOINTMENT OF REPRESENTATIVE TO LMCD Continued) Jabbour asked how the Council felt about the appointment. Flint said while he prefers the appointee reside on the lake, he feels McMillan is qualified. Peterson concurred. Vote: Ayes 5, Nays 0. ENGINEER REPORT ( #17) BID AWARD GOLF COURSE IRRIGATION SYSTEM Gappa reported that the bids have been received for the golf course irrigation system. The low bid was for $91,259.70 from Evergreen Sprinklers. The other bids were considerably higher. Gappa said he has reviewed the bidder's references and noted the City budgeted $100,000 for the project. • Gappa indicated that staff had originally thought the current well could be used with the new irrigation system. It has since been determined that a new well with more capacity is needed. Jabbour asked about use of the holding pond. Gappa said the well should be installed by the pond to enable the pond to be replenished as needed. Jabbour asked who designed the system. Gappa said he did with assistance for developing the specifications. Kelley asked if staff has spoken with the golf course superintendent regarding the design. Gappa said he has. The City will be using single and dual lines. The dual lines are used for sunny areas. Goetten was informed that the system is automated and can be turned off and on. Kelley asked if the layout has been done for the sprinkler heads. Gappa said it has. 13 • MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING HELD ON JULY 28,1997 • ( #17 BID AWARD GOLF COURSE IRRIGATION SYSTEM Continued) Kelley asked how this project will affect capital improvements in relationship to the MacMillan property adjacent to the golf course. Moorse said a portion of the tee boxes are located on the MacMillan property. Gappa said he would review this situation. Moorse was asked to explain the situation. Moorse said when the course was constructed, a portion of two tee boxes were constructed on the adjacent property. There was originally a lease agreement with the adjacent property owner. The operation of the golf course has continued without this being an issue. The issue was readdressed when plans for improvements began which required additional land and easements. A letter was sent to the property owner. The property owner asked for consideration of a driveway access for their property to Orono Orchard Road. Staff was not in favor of such access as it was located along the Luce Line. An easement would have been required from the City for this driveway. Legal issues regarding the tee -boxes and driveway are being reviewed. Moorse said the property owners require only a minor • amount of additional property, as they already have nearly a complete corridor for the driveway. Kelley asked how this affects the irrigation system. Moorse said a portion of the system is planned to be installed on the tee -boxes which are on the adjacent property. Jabbour asked Gappa not to encroach into the adjacent property owner's property. Goetten said she would like to see the big picture of what is occurring noting there is no need for a subdivision application. Moorse said staff is reviewing the impact to the Luce Line, golf course, and traffic safety, which he will review with the property owner. He said no capital improvements would be located on private property and a time table for the project would be developed. Kelley said he knew the property owners were in support of the golf course. 14 MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO CITY COUNCIL • MEETING HELD ON JULY 28,1997 ( #17 BID AWARD GOLF COURSE IRRIGATION SYSTEM Continued) Jabbour said he was surprised by the differing amounts of the bids. Kelley asked what the fund balance was for the project. Gappa said the budgeted amount was $100,000 with $20,000 for anew well. Bids are being considered for the well project. He indicated that the fund would have a balance of about $150,000 at the end of the year. The old well would be used for the club house facility and the new well for the irrigation system. Staff was asked to come back before the Council with final costs for the well. Flint said he would like to see the City develop the expertise regarding high environmental standards such as those expected from other golf courses. Gappa responded that one way this is being done is through the use of the holding pond for • irrigation to recycle nutrients back onto the course. Flint said he was thinking in more general terms in looking at the overall course maintenance operation. Jabbour asked if the workers involved at the golf course have received any schooling on the subject. Gappa said Ron Steffenhagen has received education on the subject and is certified for fertilizer application. Kelley questioned whether the City should be licensing some activity. Gappa said Steffenhagen is licensed. Kelley asked about receiving information from other superintendents. Gappa said conferences with other superintendents have been attended. Jabbour suggested Steffenhagen attend workshops on the issue and staff should budget for these educational classes. Kelley noted observing safety equipment used by applicators. Flint reiterated that high standards should be expected from the City. Kelley indicated with the high levels of 15 • MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING HELD ON JULY 28,1997 • ( #17 BID AWARD GOLF COURSE IRRIGATION SYSTEM Continued) fertilizer and herbicides used on the five golf courses in the City, the City should ensure that they are protecting the environment. Jabbour noted the surrounding areas with golf courses as well. Gappa indicated the certification used at Spring Hill Golf Club for Best Management Practices. He will review that the City is up to date. Flint noted Spring Hill was also making application to the National Audubon Society for certification. Jabbour moved, Kelley seconded, to award a contract for installation of an irrigation system at the Orono Municipal Golf Course to Evergreen Sprinkler Company Inc. for $91,259.70. Staff was directed to obtain bids for the well with the understanding that the Council is supportive of a well necessary for the new irrigation system. CITY ADMINISTRATOR'S REPORT • ( #18) REVISIONS TO NON -UNION PAY STRUCTURE Moorse reported that the proposed revisions to the non -union pay structure are to ensure consistency within the upper portion of the pay structure. He is proposing adding three pay ranges to the upper end to make the full compensation plan consistent with the remaining portion. Kelley said he had a difficult time understanding the pay structure. Other Council members agreed. Jabbour said there are some inconsistencies in the system to rectify. Moorse explained the job evaluation system and analysis of positions, which identify duties and assignments. These duties and assignments receive points in relation to responsibilities and knowledge. He indicated a work session might benefit the Council at some time regarding their understanding of the system. 16 • MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO CITY COUNCIL • MEETING HELD ON JULY 28,1997 ( #18 REVISIONS TO NON -UNION PAY STRUCTURE Continued) Jabbour asked if the proposed revisions were to add steps in the system to cover areas where employees might not be covered. Moorse said this was true. Jabbour moved, Kelley seconded, to approve the proposed revisions to the non -union pay structure to add a point grouping and related pay range between each of the top four point groupings in the pay structure. Vote: Ayes 5, Nays 0. ( * #19) POSITION RECLASSIFICATION - MICHAEL GAFFRON Goetten moved, Peterson seconded, to approve a reclassification of the Senior Planning Coordinator position to level 11 of the City's pay structure and to increase the salary of the position to $50,398 effective January 1, 1997. Vote: Ayes 5, Nays 0. • Jabbour commended Gaffron on his excellent job performance. ( #20) CITY LOGO SHIRTS Moorse reported that the City would like to purchase polo shirts for staff as part of their staff appreciation activities. He asked Council if they would like to make the shirts available to the Council, volunteer commissions, and possibly for sale to the general public. Council informed Moorse that the Council members will pay for their own shirts. They approved of the idea of providing the shirts to the Park and Planning Commissioners. Council thought this was a good team effort. Goetten moved, Peterson seconded, to approve the purchase of City logo shirts for the volunteer commissions, along with an inventory for resale to Orono residents, with authorization for the funding to come from the contingency account.
