PRESENTATION
3. GABRIEL JABBOUR, BIG ISLAND PARK
Gabriel Jabbour addressed the City Council regarding the recommendations of the Big Island Park
Committee for certain improvements on Big Island. Two of the recommendations of the committee are
the installation of rip rap along 200 feet of shoreline where the dock and future additional docks will be
located. A bid has been received for $48,230 for the dock. A bid of $13,000 has been received for the
rip rap.
Jabbour noted Big Island has also suffered a considerable amount of vandalism this past year,
particularly to the restroom structure. A verbal quote of $18,000 has been obtained for the block work
on the new restroom and the concrete dock pads. There will be additional costs for supplies and
hauling. The hauling costs will be substantially lower if completed in the winter. Jabbour indicated the
committee has looked at a number of options for making the new structure as vandal proof as possible.
White noted the costs for these improvements will be taken out of the Park Fund rather than the City’s
general fund.
Bremer asked whether the police have suggested any additional type of security.

(3. GABRIEL JABBOUR, BIG ISLAND PARK, Continued)
Jabbour stated he has met with some representatives from the police department and the water patrol
regarding the problems on Big Island and that the water patrol will continue to patrol the area but that
they are limited in the amount of patrolling that can be done on the island.
Murphy commended Gabriel Jabbour on his efforts to improve Big Island. Murphy stated it is
unfortunate that the buildings on Big Island have been damaged by vandalism and the work and
expenses the City has to incur to restore the structures. Murphy commented that the vandalism hurts the
citizens and their enjoyment of Big Island.
Jabbour noted the City has received between six and seven hundred thousand dollars in donations for
the park, with the majority of the donations coming in the form of labor. Jabbour indicated this is the
first substantial investment the City has made on Big Island and that it is the Committee’s hope that
future generations will be able to enjoy the amenities of the island. Jabbour noted the improvements
have been approved by the Minnehaha Watershed District.
Rahn asked why the gangway is two feet narrower than the dock.
Jabbour indicated the gangway will be attached to a 10 x 20 dock pad at the shore. But the other end of
the gangway has wheels that sit on top of the dock to allow the gangway to move up or down with the
dock. The gangway needs to be narrower than the dock so that it does not fall off of the dock. Jabbour
stated the existing timber wall will be removed and the bathroom structure will be removed and replaced
utilizing the same footprint.
Rahn expressed concern with spending $18,000 on the restroom without the Council having some plans
to review.
Jabbour stated the $18,000 includes the concrete dock pads. Jabbour illustrated the layout of the
existing restroom and the proposed restroom. The proposed restroom would not have exterior doors but
steel doors on the stalls, with the utility room only being accessed from inside the restroom. Jabbour
stated if this structure is vandalized, the school may have no choice but to purchase a boat with a
restroom in it.
Moorse stated Staff would ensure that the proper regulations are complied with and that the Building
Official would be reviewing the plans.
Murphy commented that these recommendations have been discussed thoroughly by the Big Island Park
Committee and that the Planning Commission would be reviewing the dock pad plans. Murphy noted
this work needs to be commenced quickly if it is going to be completed this winter.
a. AUTHORIZATION OF BIG ISLAND PARK EXPENDITURES
Murphy moved, McMillan seconded, to approve the expenditure of $13,000 for 200 feet of
riprap, and $48,230 for a dock, and to approve the proposed improvements to the
restrooms. VOTE: Ayes 5, Nays 0.

Murphy recommended that a letter be sent to the MCWD requesting that all work proceed through
Gabriel Jabbour, who will be acting as project supervisor.
McMillan moved, Bremer seconded, to approve and authorize the MCWD to move forward with
the 2,200 feet of riprap on the east bluff of Big Island, to “camouflage” the riprap with vegetation
above the rock, and to develop a restoration plan for the entire bluff, subject to all work being
reviewed by Project Supervisor Gabriel Jabbour. VOTE: Ayes 5, Nays 0.
4. SALLY KOENECKE, LAKE MINNETONKA COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION
Sally Koenecke, Lake Minnetonka Communications Commission, provided an overview of the LMCC’s
2008 budget and the two proposed amendments to the LMCC’s Joint Powers Agreement. Koenecke
noted the money for the LMCC’s budget comes from franchise fees rather than tax dollars and that the
increase in the 2008 budget includes an increase in expenditures for web streaming and an increase in
part-time staff hours.
The first amendment to the Joint Powers Agreement is a change in the definition of a quorum to ensure
each official meeting includes commissioners from a majority of member cities. The second
amendment relates to the annual budget process. The amendment calls for the annual budget to be
formulated by August 31st rather than August 15th. The amendment also changes the way the budget
becomes effective. Rather than becoming effective only if approved by the majority of members, the
budget will become effective unless rejected by a majority of members within 45 days of its receipt.
McMillan asked whether the LMCC has received any complaints regarding MediaCom.
Koenecke stated she has received some complaint letters from residents who live on County Road 6
regarding the lack of service by MediaCom to that portion of the City. Koenecke stated it may become
necessary at some point for the City to determine whether the density in that area meets the franchise
requirements for the extension of cable service.

LMCD REPORT – ANDREW MCDERMOTT, REPRESENTATIVE
Andrew McDermott addressed the City Council regarding the activities of the LMCD. McDermott
asked if the City had any timeline for when it would be submitting an application to the LMCD for a
city dock.
White stated they are not sure at this point when it will be submitted.
Moorse asked how long it typically takes for a permit to be approved by the LMCD.
McDermott stated approval typically takes 60 days.
McDermott reported that at the present time the LMCD is looking for new office space.
White recommended the LMCD consider relocating to the Long Lake area.
McDermott updated the Council on the proposed changes to some of the LMCD codes, one of which
deals with inaccessible shoreline. McDermott explained under the current rules any section of wet
shoreline is counted in the total shoreline count and that the LMCD is considering some changes to that
section and eliminating shoreline from the total shoreline total if the shoreline is inaccessible.
Murphy asked what the impetus is for the change.
McDermott stated the LMCD is attempting to preserve some of these habitat areas with that change but
that he does not see this as a big issue for Orono. The other code change relates to the depth of water
near the shoreline. If the depth of the water is three feet or less 100 to 200 feet from the shoreline, the
LMCD is considering reducing the number of boats you are allowed to dock.
McMillan asked if that change would apply to all existing docks.
McDermott stated historically the LMCD has grandfathered those docks in if they have already received
a variance. The final change relates to property owners who own a minimum of 100 feet of shoreline.
For every 100 feet of shoreline, McDermott explained that you are allowed 100 feet of dock. If the
dock needs to be extended out past 100 feet but less than 200 feet, the number of boats you are allowed
to dock would be decreased under the proposed rule change.
Bremer asked how close the dock could be to the lot line.
McDermott indicated a dock has to be 10 feet from the lot line.
McMillan noted if the dock exceeds a certain length, the setback from the lot line increases.
White stated he would be opposed to the changes because they are not necessary.
Rahn commented in his view the proposed changes are big changes.
Murphy asked if these changes would impact a large number of people or a small number of people.
McDermott stated in his view these are minor changes.

(LMCD REPORT – ANDREW MCDERMOTT, REPRESENTATIVE, Continued)
Murphy suggested the other cities involved with the LMCD be surveyed on how this would impact their
residents.
Runkle suggested the LMCD look at establishing an ordinary low water level, which would help to
eliminate some of these issues. Runkle noted Lake Minnetonka does not have a designated low water
level.
McDermott stated to his knowledge Lake Minnetonka has an ordinary low water level at 928 feet. The
last issue the LMCD is addressing deals with the chemical treatment of Carman’s Bay, which will cost
$190,000 over five years. The LMCD is expecting that a portion of those costs would be collected from
the property owners.
McMillan stated if the treatment is only done for a short period of time, the milfoil would return.
McMillan suggested the LMCD consider the purchase of smaller harvesters, which would allow them to
harvest the milfoil on the smaller bays on a more frequent basis. McMillan expressed doubts that the
chemical treatment would be the best solution.
McDermott stated the chemical treatment would allow the native vegetation to re-establish and that with
the harvesting, all of the native vegetation, along with the milfoil, is cut.
Bremer commented in her view the chemical treatment is a better way to tackle the milfoil problem, and
that with the harvesting, some areas of the lake constantly experience the cut milfoil washing up on their
shore all summer long.
McMillan stated she does not have an issue with the change to the code regarding low water.
White and Murphy indicated they do not feel the changes are necessary.

ZONING ADMINISTRATOR’S REPORT
5. #07-3329 DAVID W. BERG ON BEHALF OF WARREN AND JERNICE BERG, 3669
NORTH SHORE DRIVE – VARIANCE – RESOLUTION NO. 5722
David Berg, Applicant, was present.
Curtis stated at the November Planning Commission meeting, the applicants requested a number of
variances in order to construct a second story addition above the entire footprint of the existing
residence on their property. The applicants at that time were requesting encroachments into the average
lakeshore, lake, and side setback areas. The Planning Commission tabled the application and directed

(5. #07-3329 DAVID W. BERG ON BEHALF OF WARREN AND JERNICE BERG, 3669
NORTH SHORE DRIVE, Continued)
the applicant to redesign the second story to meet setbacks and provide hardcover reductions,
particularly within the 0-75 foot zone.
The applicant has provided revised plans that appear to meet the Planning Commission’s direction.
They are now requesting the following:
1. A hardcover variance within the 0-75 foot zone in the amount of 1,005 square feet.
2. A hardcover variance within the 75-250 foot zone in the amount of 1,467 square feet.
3. A variance to allow a structural coverage level in the amount of 1,976 square feet where 1,500
square feet is normally allowed and 1,935 square feet currently exists for the second-story
addition.
At its January meeting, the Planning Commission voted 5-1 to recommend approval of the variances as
requested. The dissenting Commissioner could not support the increase in structural coverage.
Rahn stated if the shed is removed, it would allow the applicant 33 feet for the cantilever. Rahn
indicated in his view it is mainly a design issue and that he would not be in favor of an increase in the
structural coverage.
McMillan indicated she is in agreement with Commissioner Rahn and that the structural coverage
should remain as is.
Bremer stated she would feel comfortable with allowing the applicant to choose where he would like the
reduction in structural coverage to take place.
McMillan asked whether the applicant would be willing to reduce the cantilevered areas.
Berg stated they have eliminated the cantilevers on one side. Berg indicated it was his understanding
his revised plans conform with the direction of the Planning Commission and that he has incurred
substantial cost in having his plans revised once already.
McMillan noted the Planning Commission is merely an advisory body to the City Council and that it is
unfortunate the applicant spent the money to have his plans revised prior to the City Council meeting.
Murphy asked whether the application process was explained to the applicant at the beginning.
Berg indicated it was not. Berg stated he was told to submit a final set of plans and that he indicated he
could not do that but that he would submit a set of plans that showed the exterior of the house.
Curtis stated to her understanding these are not the plans that would be submitted for a building permit,
which would be a more detailed set of plans, and that what the applicant has submitted are not final
plans.

Berg stated he also was just told on Friday that the plastic and rock would have to be removed prior to
the framing inspection. Berg stated given the cold weather, the rock would be very difficult to remove.
Curtis noted a certificate of occupancy is not issued for a second story and that the framing inspection is
the only time that the inspector could stop the project if the plastic and rock is not removed or other
conditions are not complied with.
Berg indicated the resolution is a legal document and that he would be removing the rock.
Rahn asked whether there would be any funds kept in escrow on this project.
Curtis stated there would not be.
Rahn noted the City is not always called for a final inspection and that the City wants to verify that the
requested work is completed prior to the project being finished.
Rahn noted the 0-75 foot zone and the 75-250 foot zone have reductions in hardcover from what
currently exists.
Bremer asked whether the deck is existing.
Berg stated it is.
White commented the deck could be reduced to help reduce the structural coverage.
Berg indicated the deck would not count as structural coverage given its height.
Bremer noted with the removal of the shed, the overage on the structural coverage would be 41 feet.
Murphy moved, Bremer seconded, to adopt RESOLUTION NO. 5722, a Resolution Granting
Variances for the Property Located at 3669 North Shore Drive. VOTE: Ayes 4, Nays 1,
McMillan Opposed.
McMillan indicated she is opposed to the increase in structural coverage.
6. #08-3338 THOMAS AND KATHERINE ZIEGLER, 2264 SHADYWOOD ROAD –
VARIANCES AND DRIVEWAY APPROACH WIDTH
Thomas and Katherine Ziegler, Applicants, were present.
Turner stated the Zieglers are proposing to reconstruct the existing house under a code provision that
allows them to reconstruct a structure without meeting the zoning code requirement except for the
floodplain. Turner noted the basement would be eliminated and it would be slab on grade. The
applicants are requesting a setback variance to construct an attached garage with an 11.2 foot setback
from the right-of-way of Crystal Bay Road when a 15-foot setback is required. In addition, the
applicants are requesting a setback variance to add an open porch with a 5-foot setback from the right-

of-way of Crystal Bay Road when a 15-foot setback is required, a lakeshore setback variance to create
an open porch over a portion of the enclosed porch, and a hardcover variance to allow the steps on the
lake side of the house to be relocated to the Crystal Bay Road side of the enclosed porch.
The applicants are proposing a driveway approach that is 26 feet wide at the right-of-way line and 20
feet wide at the edge of the roadway. The code limits the approach to 20 feet at the right-of-way and 30
feet at the edge of the roadway.
The Planning Commission voted 7-0 to recommend approval of the setback variance for the attached
garage subject to no additional hardcover in the 75-250 foot zone. If the wider driveway approach is not
approved by the Council, the outer edges of the garage doors should be no more than 20 feet apart.
In addition the Planning Commission recommended approval of the lakeshore setback variance for the
second floor open porch subject to the porch being left open; approval of the setback variance for the
open entry porch, subject to the porch being reduced from five feet to four feet in depth and “wood”
columns on masonry bases being substituted for the brick or stone columns; and approval of the
hardcover variance to allow the steps and grade-level deck within the 0-75 foot setback.
The grading plan still increases the runoff to the property to the north and lacks details on the proposed
drain tile. Staff has suggested the applicant work with the property owner to the north to create a
common swale.
Staff supports a second floor deck on the lake side of the house but not a roof over it to create an open
porch. Although it will have little, if any, impact on the lake view from the property to the north, it is
entirely within the 0-75 foot setback. It would set a precedent for allowing decks within the 0-75 foot
zone to be converted to open porches.
Ziegler stated he is attempting to work out an arrangement with his neighbor on the drainage and that he
is confident some type of agreement would be reached. Ziegler stated they have done everything they
could to reduce the hardcover in all areas. The small portion of roof being added over the deck helps to
direct the water runoff and provides protection for the deck. Ziegler stated he would not be opposed to
having a stipulation in the file that the deck never be turned into closed space.
Rahn commented the deck hand railing is not required by code but would be considered structural
coverage.
Ziegler stated their original plan was a second story over the entire structure, but following discussions
with Staff, they revised their plans to reduce the encroachment into the 0-75 foot zone. Ziegler
indicated the whole house would have gutters and downspouts. If the roof over the deck is not allowed,
Ziegler stated he would probably eliminate it.
Rahn asked whether the Planning Commission was okay with the roof over the front entry.
Turner stated the Planning Commission did not have an issue with the roof over the front entry.

Murphy indicated if the roof over the deck is removed, it would leave a flat roof in that area, which is
not an ideal situation in Minnesota.
Curtis stated the building inspector has indicated the roof could be drained with scuppers.
Ziegler stated scuppers serve as a drain similar to a gutter but are not the most ideal solution.
Bremer moved, Murphy seconded, to direct Staff to draft an approval resolution for Application
#08-3338, Thomas and Katherine Ziegler, 2264, Shadywood Road, granting of setback variances
and a hardcover variance, and allowing the width of the driveway at 26 feet as reflected on the
plans.
Ziegler asked whether they would be allowed to plant some evergreens to help block headlights from
Crystal Bay Road.
It was the consensus of the City Council that the applicant could plant some evergreen trees in that area
but that he should be aware they may need to be removed at some point in time.
McMillan requested the resolution contain language to the effect that the open second-story porch
remain open and not be allowed at some point in the future to be converted into living space.

Moorse stated the $500 allotment in engineering fees is only given one time and that any engineering
fees in excess of the $500 are paid by the applicant.
