5. PLANNING AND ZONING 1EPARTMENT
Ray Anderson, substandard lot
Council reviewed memo from JoEllen Hurr regarding Mr. Anderson's request to build En his
substandard sized lot which adjoins his home property at 355 akeview Dr. on Holy ame
T,Ake.
Discussion of Section 403 of Zoning Ordinance wherein a lot must be one acre in size in
an unsewered area, must have frontage on a public street, be under separate ownership
as per date of ordinance, that setback requirements can be met and proof can be provided
that an adequate sewage treatment system could be designed.
Mr. Anderson stated that the percolation test indicates two areas as suitable for septic
systems using 900 ft. drain fields. He also stated that there is gravel on the property.
Thomas Anderson stated that the one acre requirement and separate ownership cannot be met.
Jo'1llen Hurr stated that a setback variance from the lake for the septic system would be
needed and that soils maps do not indicate suitable soils which could be proved otherwise
by soil borings.
William Reiser asked how many other similar situations there might be in Medina.
Ms. Hurr stated that there are at least 10 substandard lots in common ownership and to
approve would be inconsistent with what is granted in the Independence Beach area.
Thomas Crosby stated that the situation seemed to be unfair.
Richard Schieffer stated that to grant a variance the situation would need to be isolated
from all others.
Thomas Anderson stated that Rerhaps the item should be tabled for two weeks to enable pre-
paration of a resolution by x. Crosby which would include reasons to approve.
Motion by Crosby, seconded by Reiser to grant a variance to Ray Anderson to build a house
on Lot 5, Raskob's JJakeview Addition; variance granted from lot size requirement and
common ownership to permit utilization of lot for the purpose for which it was purchased;
in effect to conform to adjacent houses on adjacent lots. Hardship being that lot is not
buildable without variances which are granted subject to application for whatever other
building variances are needed.
Motion carried Voting No -Anderson and Lutz
Dockside
JoEllen Hurr reviewed memo regarding plan review of Dockside units 1,2,3"and 8,9 and 10 2 Y
Mr. Spaeth has presnted plans totaling 18,6.56 sq. ft. (including four units previously
approved.) The resolution of approval allows for a total of 16,150 sq. ft.
She stated that she disagreed that the space marked"»nfinished" would remain as such
because the slope of the propery suggests walk -outs and plans do not include type of doors.
She stated that she had taken the total square footage and deducted 10% as non -habitable
space and arrived at the total of 2506.•sq. ft. in excess of that allowed by resolution.
Mayor Anderson explained that the Council is trying to avoid overdevelopment of the area.
Thomas Crosby stated that because the three untis have walkouts they can be construed as
habitable and he would look differently at the plans if the lower level were entirely
underground.
Motion by Crosby, seconded by Scherer to endorse interpretation of habitable space in
Zoning Administrators memo dated March 2, 1982.
Motion declared carried
Richard Schieffer advised that Council not issue any building permits on the property
until plans for the remaining units have been submitted because the amount of allowable
scpsre footage remaining may be short when final unit plans are submitted and the devel-
oper may claim he cannot make use of a remaining lot or lots.
John Spaeth stated that he disagreed with the interpretation of habitable space square
footage.
Richard Schieffer advised that Mr. Spaeth redesign the project and resubmit.
Motion by Reiser, seconded by Scherer to table the matter until John Spaeth presents
revised plans.
Motion declared carried
Mark Franklin
Jotllen Hurr reported that Mark Franklin had sent a letter stating that he no longer needed
the resolution regarding radio towers on his property. She stated that she had discussed
the matter of the accumulated fees incurred in developing the resolution, withthe city
attorney and he had suggested putting a lien on Mr. Franklin's property.
Form for collection of fees
Joqlen Hurr reported that she had been asked to clarify authority for collection of fees
in connection with a form she had sent to WCCO for signature.
Richard Schieffer stated that the authority is contained in the ordinance and that the
Council need not adopt the form as its main purpose is to inform applicants ofithe cities
right to collect fees incurred during consideration of a project.
He suggested that Attorney, Mike Nash and WCCO could discuss some sort of agreement for
payment of fees if WCCO is concerned about having to pay for any study that might be
suggested by anyone.
6. BURLINGTON NORTHERN RAILROAD
Richard Schieffer explained that he had discussed the annual charges of $750 by Burlington
Northern with Long Lake's Attorney and apparently Long Lake has said that the charges are
for an easement not for maintenance,so therefore, Orono and Medina must divide the cost
according to their agreement.
Mr. Schieffer also explained that under the terms of the agreement the Mayors of the cities
involved can hold meetings to clarify certain matters.
Thomas Anderson agreed that such a meeting should be arranged.
7. MINNEHAHA CHEEK WATERSHED DISTRICT
Donna Roehl explained that 1981 funds in the amount of $744 for replacement of a culvert
on Willow Dr., south of Co. Rd. 24, had not been spent and that the WatershedDistrict

$744 to replace the culvert plus an amount to clean 800 ft. of the ditch as it drains
