• <br /> MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br /> Tuesday,January 20,2015 <br /> 6:30 o'clock p.m. <br /> The proposed addition will result in almost no change to the site layout or site usage. The addition will <br /> not result in significant changes to access to the building or vehicular traffic patterns within the site. The <br /> existing site plan is in compliance with past approvals. The overhead door for the portion of the addition <br /> slated for vehicle storage is facing into the site to the south and should not impact properties to the north. <br /> Staff finds that Items 2, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 13 of the conditional use permit section applies in this situation and <br /> are outlined in Staffs report. <br /> It is Staff's believe the proposed addition to provide additional office, storage, and locker room space will <br /> not result in a notable intensification of the site as the vehicle and equipment use on the site will not <br /> increase. The proposal should have virtually no negative impacts to adjacent properties nor will there be <br /> negative impacts in terms of stormwater or site usage. Staff would recommend, however, that future <br /> requests to increase the hardcover on the site not be approved. <br /> Staff recommends approval of a conditional use permit for the proposed addition and approval of the site <br /> plan, subject to the following conditions: One,adherence to the approved plan; Two, the building permit <br /> application will be subject to engineer, building official, and fire marshal review; and Three, subject to <br /> MCWD approval. <br /> The Planning Commission had no questions for Staff. <br /> The applicant had nothing to add to Staffs report. <br /> Chair Leskinen opened the public hearing at 7:58 p.m. <br /> There were no public comments regarding this application. <br /> Chair Leskinen closed the public hearing at 7:58 p.m. <br /> Leskinen stated the application is pretty straight forward and that she does not have any concerns with the <br /> proposal. <br /> Landgraver asked if the MCWD will be conducting any evaluation to determine whether the stormwater <br /> pond constructed in 2000 is still functional. <br /> Curtis stated as part of the building permit review,the building inspector will review it as well as the <br /> MCWD. Curtis stated in her view it will be addressed if it is an issue. <br /> Landgraver stated he did not know if this would be the appropriate place to determine whether it is still <br /> functioning. <br /> Leskinen noted the memorandum from the MSB does talk about the stormwater pond. Leskinen stated to <br /> her recollection it triggers a stormwater management rule that requires best management practices to be <br /> incorporated into the project. Leskinen stated the memorandum appears to address some of that. <br /> Landgraver stated in his view he felt this would be a good opportunity to review that, but that he is not <br /> sure whether it is within the Planning Commission's purview. <br /> Curtis stated she will make a note of that and consult with the City Attorney. <br /> Page 14 of 21 <br />
