MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br /> Tuesday,January 21,2014 <br /> 6:30 o'clock p.m. <br /> 1422 is combined with the two properties to the south of it, there are some implications that need to be <br /> addressed. <br /> Gaffron stated whenever you combine a marina property with a residential property, one of the issues is <br /> whether or not they would be allowed to have multiple buildings and uses on the property. The applicant <br /> has suggested that perhaps this spring they would like to rezone the two residential properties on the west <br /> side of the road to commercial. Staff has discussed with the applicant that in order to do that,they need to <br /> take a look at comprehensive planning of the site and that Staff would like them to provide a plan that <br /> either removes or gives some indication of what is going to happen with those two buildings and how <br /> parking might be relocated,how stormwater management would be handled as well as other issues that <br /> need to be addressed as part of any rezoning. <br /> Landgraver commented it would be common sense to require the properties be combined. <br /> Gaffron stated the risk of not combining the properties is that they are sold off as separate lots. <br /> Thiesse asked if everything on the east side could be combined and the lots on the west side remain as is. <br /> Gaffron indicated it would require a subdivision in order to combine the two northerly properties with the <br /> west side. Gaffron stated the property technically goes all the way through from lake to lake and if they <br /> are going to combine the properties, the east and west side would require separate tax numbers, which can <br /> only be accomplished through a subdivision. <br /> Luke Kujawa, Applicant, stated it was made pretty clear at the City Council meeting that they should first <br /> address the fueling situation, which is what they are doing. Kujawa indicated his understanding is that the <br /> top concrete slab will be at grade so no change in grade or fill will be required. Kujawa stated he has also <br /> met with the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District regarding any changes and in his view he does not feel <br /> it will be difficult to accomplish it or have any impact on parking. <br /> Kujawa stated in his view the tank could be moved over to allow for a 10-foot setback but that he does <br /> not have an issue with combining those two lots. Kujawa noted as far as the fuel line going to the dock, <br /> the commercial portion of those two residential lots have a permanent easement already in place and that <br /> they will need to look at the easement language to see if it needs modification to allow the fuel line. The <br /> ultimate goal is to clean up the properties and make the site better functioning overall. <br /> Schoenzeit noted the initial use of the fuel storage tank is planned for the boat club, and asked what the <br /> future plans are for retail sale of the fuel. <br /> Kujawa stated he does not want to say there will never be retail sales of gas, but the first priority is to <br /> have gas available for the boat club. Kujawa indicated retail sales would likely require a major dock <br /> reconfiguration and a longer permitting process with the Watershed District and that they are looking for <br /> a way to replenish fuel for the boat club boats at the present time. <br /> Schoenzeit asked how long the 2,000 gallons would last. <br /> Kujawa indicated they currently have a 780 gallon tank but they are only allowed to fill it to 500 gallons. <br /> At 500 gallons, it was filled approximately twice a week and a 2,000 gallon tank would probably need to <br /> Page 16 of 26 <br />
