MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br /> Tuesday,January 21,2014 <br /> 6:30 o'clock p.m. <br /> Schoenzeit recommended the Planning Commission approve the concept for boat club use only and any <br /> expansion would need to come back before the Planning Commission and City Council. <br /> Gaffron stated the applicant has indicated he intends to resolve this issue with the understanding that there <br /> are other issues that need to be resolved with the site. Gaffron indicated he agrees with the suggestion <br /> that before it is brought before the City Council,the applicant will need to provide additional detail on the <br /> impacts to the floodplain and parking. <br /> Landgraver noted on Page 7, one of the conditions of Staff is that tax parcels 5, 6, and 7 be combined, and <br /> based on discussion tonight, it appears that just parcels six and seven is being recommended to be <br /> combined, which would eliminate the 10-foot setback and not get into the zoning issues. <br /> Gaffron stated Staff would also need to confirm that the easement that exists will handle the additional <br /> portions of the system that are not on those two lots. <br /> Landgraver noted another condition is that prior to permit issuance,the applicant will need to submit <br /> adequate data to determine the volume of fill below 931.5' and obtain any necessary permits from <br /> MCWD. <br /> Schoenzeit stated he would make the additional recommendation that this approval of the fueling system <br /> is for boat club boats only, with verification of the impacts on the floodplain and parking, and that any <br /> expansion of the use comes back to the Planning Commission and City Council. <br /> Thiesse asked whether a stormwater management plan would also need to be submitted and who the <br /> regulating authority would be for that. <br /> Gaffron stated potentially Watershed District and MCWD permits would be required as well as a SWIFT <br /> as part of the mechanical permit. <br /> Gaffron asked Mr. Anderson whether he is also talking about an NPDES permit. <br /> Anderson stated a stormwater plan would be required and that it might be the MPCA. Anderson noted <br /> routine inspections of the underground storage tank would also be required. <br /> Gaffron stated training of the operators would also be required in addition to the other requirements. <br /> Thiesse stated it sounds like the Planning Commission would like a comprehensive plan showing <br /> elevations, limits of excavation and implications to parking. <br /> Kujawa asked why they are being limited to gas to boat club customers only. <br /> Schoenzeit stated in his view the pump is not in the right location for retail and that it is not set up <br /> currently for retail. Schoenzeit stated that additional work should be reviewed by the Planning <br /> Commission before that occurs and that the applicant is not proposing that at this time. <br /> Kujawa stated the dock reconfiguration would go through the LMCD and that he is looking for clarity on <br /> what is being requested. <br /> Page 22 of 26 <br />
