Also present : City Administrator Benson, City Planner Olson, Zoning Administrator Mabusth, City Attorney Malkerson, and City Engineer Cook. Mayor Van Nest announced that now was the time and PUBLIC HEARING place for the public hearing concerning a petition Sandy Beach for Sandy Beach swimming area. City Administrator Benson presented the Notice of Public Hearing, the Affidavit of Publication, and the Certificate of Mailing. Dick Benson, City Administrator , read into the record a petition to continue the Sandy Beach swimming area, which states: "We , the local residents of the Sandy Beach area of Orono wish to speak out on the beach issue : the beach has been here for years, enjoyed by parents and children alike. It is the only public area in the neighborhood within walking distance for local residents to swim, relax and enjoy Lake Minnetonka expecially for off-shore residents who would otherwise be "choked-off" from the lake. People buy homes and locate in the lake area hoping to enjoy the lake . Any attempt to close the beach by a few property owners in the area is selfish and certainly not in the best interest of the entire community. We appeal to the Orono Council to continue this needed recreational facility. " The above petition contains 100 signatures. Mayor Van Nest requested a show of hands of those in attendance in favor of closing the beach area. Twelve hands were counted. Those in favor not to close the beach area. Fifteer� hands were counted. Mr. ,7ohn McCallum read into the record the attached statement. Statement Pages 2-9 Betty Hanson, 3826 Cherry Avenue : People are very abusive , there is no supervision, and the beach area has turned into an eyesore.

Attendance & Letter - Pages 11-13 Page 11 Feb . 9 , 19fi1 Dear Orono City Council ; titi'hen we bought our house we weren ' t even aware there was a public beach so close . It is so small very� few people even know :it exists . That is one of the things we like so much about it . It is never crowded and almost everyone there just walks to it . It is usually pretty quiet too . Frequently last summer a car load of older kicis were there and that is the only tir�e , it got a little wild . The only time you see more than one car is during swimming lessons . Please realize how important s��ir�ming lessons are to our children , especially with all these lakes . And alot of mot3iers don ' t have cars to take their children te lessons any where else . There are no other beaches anywhere in this area. Please try to understand what an important part of the neighborhood it is . The kids 2lso go there in the winter • to play and skate on the ice . We will be at the hearing . lVe hope you �aill consider the good of the najorit�� also .

We feel the 11, 500 sq. ft. designates a buildable lot. Any restrictions can be recorded on a permanent record. Technical code violations have been noted. We request granting of variances if they are needed. In maintaining the character of the area, we want to address unique technical problems that were not created by Mr . Bruce Hepp. The proposed lot is still the largest in the neighborhood. Mr . Hepp 's request is reasonable . I have reviewed all findings. Variances have been allowed before, have been noted i£ required and should be reviewed and considered as par�t of our request. There is no evidence of traffic problems and staff have not documented such problems.

The parcel is still one parcel and 2605 W. Lafayette Rd. one lot. The proposed driveway does not change the (Continued) character of the lot. We are not combining two parcels of land for other purposes, public, private, or road easement does not apply to the Hepp proposal. If it should, this should be considered as a variance . This area is unique and not unusual to the Hannah easement. Drainage problems do not exist that we are aware of pertaining to the building envelope . There are some unique conditions such as the cul de sac and lagoon. We do have many hardships. One is being denied occupancy since my client purchased the land for a residence. Mr. Hepp is being transferred to Italy and wants to retain the lots for himself, wife , and , children and the City is imposing a real hardship if they are not allowed to use the property. The Council ' s statement that the applicant plans to sell the property for a greater value is not true. The Council ' s action on variances are quite technical and have not been well thought out. Subdividing the larger parcel into two lots will not cause deterioration of the area. Mayor Van Nest: Mr. Jevne, your application does not meet City performance standards simply because it has been assumed that this proposal would not require • variances, when in reality, there are variances required. The easement required to serve the existing house on this lot leaves a building envelope that is much less than required in a standard lot in the one acre zone. In fact, the building envelope is only 39� of standard with a 20 ' wide easement and a 10 ' building setback. This is reduced to 23� with the required 35 ' building setback. If the easement is granted at the required width of 50 ' with a 35 ' building setback, then the building envelope is reduced to only 180 of standard. The location of the easement destroys the lot. This is not a reasonable building site, if youu are to meet the City code requirements. I wish to note here that Mr. Hepp ' s application created the easement, no one else did. Mr. Jeven: Yes, that is correct. Mr. Tom Lowe , 2630 West Lafayette Road: The hardships were in existence when Mr. Hepp purchased the lot. Mayor Van Nest moved, Paurus seconded, to adopt RESOLUTION #1247 Resolution #1247, A Resolution Denying Bruce F. 2605 W.

Fred Harvey, 3580 Wayzata Boulevard, asked the CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT City Council to explain the public safety, health, 3580 Wayzata Boulevard and welfare provisions included in the proposed #579 resolution. Fred Harvey Mayor Van Nest: The intended commercial activity is not only a detriment to the public safety, health, and welfare because of existing dangerous traffic problems, but the existing zone is for residential uses,because of this, your proposal would only add to the present safety problems . Your intended method of marketing is not consistent with our code . Mr . Fred Harvey: The constitution states crops raised can be sold on the property. I believe all the stands are in violation. Mayor Van Nest: They would have to be specifically addressed.

We understand that the owners are applying for a variance to build a four-unit agartment building by converting the existing structure . We generally oppose that use as not being in conformity with any number of requirements and ordinances of the City of Orono. We recognize , however , that the present structure used as an industrial building or in a vacate state could very well become a public nuisance and an attractive amusement area where children may be injured. In the event that a tasteful application is made for creating a duplex, we would be willing to reconsider our opposition to this project. In the event that the Council should elect to approve the current application, we would appreciate being informed.

Your decision to cont;nue s-lpplying water to the area west of your city until July, 1982 , will allow us to jointly complete a feasibilit�� of apgrading the present syste:.i to a more aviceptable su�ply of pressure for all of us in the future . T met with rs. Todd Heglund, Mr. Tom Anderson, 1'�Zayor of Medina, and rir . Srad van Nest, Mayor of Orono, to solidify our objectives and formulate a plan which will allow us all to work together to �eet future deadlines to accommodate all of our future water needs . i•ir . Heglund reviet•red with us th� City of Long Lake 's desire to construc� a water tower near Highway �12 near the Robb Motel . property to adequately furnish water pressure to the areas of Long Lake �nd Orono, which are contiguous to each other , that are now served by your city. The new system would be in total , Long Lake ' s system com�nitted to jointly serve our a:eas as nee3ed on a gallonage basis that would be rated the same for all of our com-nunities. The increased revenues generated by your city for the service would be used to retire the b�nds sold for the project. tfs . Tom Anderson, Brad Van Nest, and myself concurred with :�Ir . Heglund and aqreed to c�ntinue our efforts proceeding to finalize an agreement with �our city, as soon as possible . We all feel we have a mu�ual interest in serving our residents at a cost that is fair and equitable to us all and we will work toward that end to achieve it. bl II i�l\i.,1, /��\1\�. �'1 'i�' • \I��II\1\I M 111��♦ S I I\ \�1 1 1" � ' ��- • I1 bl II ��I�H► � i� � � �' ' \�ll ♦�I\�� Page 23 btayor Diane Gallagher February 13, 1981 Pag� 2 we discussed a time-frame which to work within and we all agreed to speed up the process and keep it going as quickly as possible . riedina, if interested, would want to install a oipe to our city at the same time as the sewer is constructed. �•�e fe?t if we could receive co:n..�itments from everyone now, and finalize an agree:ae:zt in six months, we could have the new caater tower in operation i:� one year and six nonths.

Todd Heglund . 1828 Symes Long Lake, Minnesota 55356 Dear �ir . Heglur.d : As you are aware , we have in the past, periodically discussed your concerns with the a�:�ount of water that your city is receiving fro�n the Orono area west of you, served by sanitary sewer . It has been noted that the Metropolitan Waste Control Commission is not properly calculating the sewage flo�a and charging back to the City of Orono their fair share of the total sewage flow. It has been suspected that Washington Scientific a:�d Van Dale Manu- facturing were pumping from private wells into the sewer system that was.not being metered. , The City of Orono completed an inspection of these establishments and eae have determined that Wash?ngton Scientific and Van Dale wells are capped off and are not operative . The only private well pumping into the municipal sanitary sewer system is located at �he Orono school complex, which is metered for internal and external uses . The Metropolitan Waste Control Commission obtains these well meter readings, city water meter readings, �neasures sewage flow •from a weir in the last manhole leaving Orono and uses these figures to determine Orono ' s sewage charge . The City of Orono completed in 1980 , televising oi all of the sewage lines in our area west of your city at a cost of $S ,OOQ , the end result was a repair of one deflected pipe in the entire system. The entire cost of televising was shared by the City of Medina, City of Orono, and our Z b Z Study inflow and infiltration analysis which we are implementing on our entire sewer system in Orono. This was accomplished to satisfy the City of Medina that these sewer lines were in satisfactory condition before Medina-Morningside is connected.

Film of the televising is in our files and available for your review if you so wish. To conclude , I really believe the City of Orono has over- extended itself in providing and maintaining a utility system that is maintained at a level that is far superior to other systems in the area. I� there are other facts or data that would be helpful to you or if �here are other concerns �elated to the sanitary sewers adjacent to your city, please notify me and I will assist you in these concerns.

Obviously the problem is an internal one at this end and I apologize for indicating that it had not been recei�•ed. �s the designated liaison between the Schaol Board and the varic�as cities within our district , I did not respond because I had not seen the plan until February 9th. Idy files show �esponses to the other four cities. Even though �ve ;�ill be very late in our response, we do hope the Rietropolitan Council will stil2 permit us to review and com,�nent on the Plan . This wi11 take a few weeks because �ve want to allo�v time for a full Board revie�v. Thank you for y°our pa�ience with us and c�re are sorry for the problem which cve created in this instance.

William Fenholt Orono School District 278 685 Old Crystal Bay Road . Long Lake , rlinr.esota 55356 ��ar Bill : I am in receipt of your Fei�ruary 12 , 1981 , letter concerning Orono ' s Com�rehensive Plan and I wish to thank you for your auick response . Considering the reason for the delay in responding to our Plan, I am sure the :�etropolitan Council �aiil allow adequate time for your co:rments to assure cornplete corununication in the review process. Bill, I 'ara very concerned with your coreu-nent ta me Wedflesday, F�bruary 1� , 1981, concerning the City of Orono ' s Land L'se Policy and your apparent feelings that the City, through its iand use planning and zoning, is jeopardizing your student popuiation count within the distr�ct. Z am also very concernec� with your statement that the present �� chool Board is becoming more concerned with the lack oi representation on the Orono City Council from areas within the Orono School District, and that the present School Board is concerned with Orono' s land use policies as they relate to encouraging future development. In order for us to resolve issues that are before us, I �elieve it is important for us to be objective and not alloca those issues to overlap each other . One issue before us is the Orono-Long Lake � water matter. Another issue apparently, is Orono ' s Land Us� Policy or zonir.g. As Z �entioned to you before , I do not think it relevant to allow your feeling wi�h Orono ° s Land Use Policl to interfere with negotiating a new �rater agreement with Long Lake . Unless the Orono School Board has taken specific action concerning Orono ' s Land Use Policy, and feel it is an integral part of furnishing fsl 11 I�1\�, a /��\1��, �'i '�>' 0 11��t1\111 k 111U\ A 1 I♦ \\( I J� i ' ��•, � YI hl I( ��uk►.� J' � ' f� � \111 »I�� r Page 34 h1r . tJilliam Fenholt February 17, 1981 Page 2 Ci�.y water to aur residents, I feel staff should deal directly with the matter at hand and not assume what action Council or IIoard ne:nbers might take in the future. Your comment that more Board members are showing resistance to Orono' s rural versus urban plan deserves further explanation and hopefully, a satisfactory conclusion as soon as possible. I am officially requesting a committee of four be formulated to continue these discussions to encourage participation at the decision making level . Two members from your School Board and two members from my City Council would stimulate input b�tween our qoverning bodies and allow an understanding of present and future policies consistent with the overall planning concept. I would appreciate your discussing this with your Board Monday evening, February 23 , 1981, and notifying me of your decision. Sincerely , � -.--7 ��:r-/�"��..,.

Benson City Administrator City of Orono P.O. Box G6 Cr��stal Bay, bilv' 55323 Dear Dick : I have your letter of February 17 regarding the City of Orono' s Comprehensive Plan. I did receive a call yesterday from Connie Kozlak of the bletropolitan Council and she indicated that there will be time for our Board to review and respond to the Plan. You were correat in assuming that this would be the case. Dick, I want to be sure that you understand r�y role in the Comprehensive Plan review process for our district . The Superintendent assigned to ,me the task of reviewing the plans as they are received from each city in the district , reporting back to him and' the Board and, finally, preparing a written response. Orono' s is now the sixth and last plan under review. �iy role is not one of speakin� for the Superintendent or the School Board. You are correct in that I did express to you a concern on the part of some of our Board members regarding Orono' s Land lise Plan , as well as having only or.� counci� m�mber from ou2 area. The Board members ' concerns arise from the fact that by far the area of greatest potential for grou•th for our district , within at least the next• twenty-year period, is Orono ' s Rural Service Area. Your Plan indicates that this entire area is to remain rural and that municipal sana.tary sewers �vill not be extended into the rural areas. It further states that Orono ' s Urban Service Area (hiLSA) and the Sewer Service Area (b4SSR) are fixed as described by Resolution of the Orono City Council as sho�vn on your biap 6 in the Plan book. Orono School District has dropped from a peak enrollment of over 2700 to 2272 at present . If present trends continue , we will be c3o�vn to 1950-2000 bS• 1984-85. Since enrollment , particularly at the high school level , has an important bearing on the quality and diversitS• of the curriculum and, because state aids are tied directly to pupils, it appears to me that the impact of the Orono' s Plan , if adopted as is , DR.

I�enson - � - could he very detrimc�ntal to the school System. It is tliis concern that prompted me to sug��st to you that it mi�ht l�e very helpful if our board members and your council members could meet and discuss these item5 . Until this past week , we felt we must re�ister concern regarding Orono' s Land Use Policy as it relates to the water problem. This is because Orono' s Plan le�ves all the land in the area north of the Burlington tracks and west of Old Crystal Bay Road as a Rural Service Area. Orono, because of Long Lake' s unwillingness to form a joint agreement , was ready to proceed with plans to build a separate �vater s5�stem for the school and the businesses in the area. This was set forth in the Orono engineer's study entitled "Orono School Water District" . The School District and businesses affected realized that , under most of the options given , water rates would be exorbitant and therefore , Dick, I believe it highly relevant to consider Orono' s Land Use Policy if Orono plans to build a separate system. Now that this is apparently not going to be the case , I agree that it should not interefere with negotiating a new water agreement with Long Lake. ?,irs. Engelstad, Orono School Board Chairman , contactaiDr. Lennon regarding your official request for a meeting of board/council members on the subject of land use. She is very receptive to this and Dr. Lennon has placed the item on the agenda for our meeting next bion�tay evening, February 23 , 1981 . �Ye wiZl be in touch with you following that meeting. • Please convey to the counczl members that we appreciate very much the efforts made to date to resolve the water problem.

I have reviewed this information with you generally at the City Council meeting of February 23 , 1981 . This will confirm my understanding that the City Council wishes us to proceed with further investigation and to take what action is necessary in order to ensure tha1� the City ' s interests are protected. This matter will be handled primarily by Jim Steilen of our office since he is more of an expert than I in the area. of land title registrations, legal descriptions, etc . Of course , I will be involved in the overall direction of the review and any negotiations. Once we finish the preliminary investigation, we will contact the present property owner to see whether or not that property owner would be willing to relinquish control of the parking lot to the City instead of having the property tied up in title objections and possible litigation for an extended period of time .
