MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br /> Monday,August 19 2013 <br /> 6:30 o'clock p.m. <br /> 9. #13-3625 PETER JOHNSON ON BEHALF OF WJM PROPERTIES,LLC,2605 <br /> WAYZATA BOULEVARD,COMMERCIAL SITE PLAN REVIEW,8:52 P.M.—8:55 P.M. <br /> Breanne Glesener, Attorney-at-Law, was present. <br /> Gaffron stated the applicant is requesting renewal and a minor revision of approvals granted in May of <br /> 2006 via Resolution No. 5470 which amended the existing industrial Site Plan approval as follows: <br /> 1. Allowed a 25,620 square foot one-story addition to the principal structure. <br /> 2. Allowed a 250 square foot addition to connect the existing accessory buildings; <br /> 3. Approved revisions to approved parking layout; and <br /> 4. Approved revised conditions placed on the outside storage and display of vehicles. Resolution <br /> No. 5470 also denied a conditional use permit for flagpoles exceeding 40 feet in height. <br /> Gaffron noted the applicant never went forward with the work at that time and requested a number of <br /> renewals over the years. Since the most recent approval has lapsed,this application is technically a new <br /> review process rather than a renewal. The only element of the approvals that has changed is a proposed <br /> increase in height of the proposed addition from 20 feet to 25 feet. The approvals in 2006 also allowed <br /> for an expansion of the parking area directly south of the proposed addition pursuant to stormwater <br /> system upgrades which have been completed. The parking area is currently graveled and finish grading <br /> and paving are the contemplated final improvements yet to be completed. <br /> Staff recommends approval of the commercial site plan and conditional use permit revisions as proposed, <br /> subject to the findings and conditions of prior approvals as well as approval of the increased height of the <br /> 26,000 square foot addition from 20 feet to 25 feet. <br /> Glesener indicated she does not have anything to add to Staff's report. <br /> Acting Chair Landgraver opened the public hearing at 8:55 p.m. <br /> There were no comments regarding this application. <br /> Acting Chair Landgraver closed the public hearing at 8:55 p.m. <br /> Schwingler moved,McGrann seconded,to recommend approval of Application#13-3625,WJM <br /> Properties, LLC (Morries Automotive Group),2605 West Wayzata Boulevard,subject to Staff's <br /> recommendations based upon the prior conditions and approvals.
