MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br />Monday, March 11, 2019 <br />7:00 o’clock p.m. <br />_____________________________________________________________________________________ <br /> <br />Page 10 of 16 <br /> <br />anyone wanted to expand that, they would have to go through a public process because there is potential <br />to impact the neighbors. <br /> <br />Anderst stated the intention with expanding the hours is not to have the Lakeroom open consistently for <br />those longer hours but that it was more or less for special occasions. Requests have already been received <br />to utilize Jimmy’s Lounge for a Christmas party and they did not want to say they have to be out of here <br />by this time when the other side is still open. Having the longer hours would provide more consistency. <br /> <br />Printup moved, Seals seconded, to adopt RESOLUTION NO. , a Resolution Granting a Conditional <br />Use Permit for a Class II Restaurant that includes live entertainment and a bar, Amending and <br />Restating Previously Issued Conditions per Municipal Zoning Code Section 78-644(4). VOTE: <br />Ayes 5, Nays 0. <br /> <br />13. LA19-000006 – TRIDENT DEVELOPMENT ON BEHALF OF UNIVERSITY OF <br />ST. THOMAS, OUTLOT A, STONEBAY; CONCEPT PLAN REVIEW <br /> <br />Barnhart stated this a concept plan for a proposed RPUD rezoning for a 93-unit apartment building. The <br />building would be located at the northwest corner of Willow Drive and south of Kelley Parkway. The <br />applicants are proposing a 93-unit apartment building, two to two and a half story building, which is <br />consistent with the Comprehensive Plan’s guiding land use and density for the property. The City w ill <br />need to change the zoning district once the Comprehensive Plan is approved by the Metropolitan Council. <br />This project will have to wait until the Metropolitan Council and the Orono City Council approve the <br />Comprehensive Plan. <br /> <br />In reviewing the RPUD district, there are a number of standards that need to be met. The applicants are <br />not asking for any flexibility to those standards since they are proposing to meet all of those requirements <br />at this time. It will likely be necessary for Staff to look at the height of the building once more definite <br />plans are submitted but the applicants are well aware of the 30-foot height limit. <br /> <br />The parking requirements will likely be met . Given the required number of parking spaces, the size of the <br />building will be limited since t wo parking spaces per unit are required. <br /> <br />Barnhart noted this is not a public hearing but that the applicants are looking for input on the rezoning and <br />the overall concept plan. <br /> <br />Walsh asked what the density is for Stone bay. <br /> <br />Barnhart indicated the condominium was close to 20 but that he is not aware of the density for the rest of <br />Stonebay. <br /> <br />Printup asked what the guided density is for this site. <br /> <br />Barnhart stated it is 20 to 25 units per acre for these three parcels. The idea behind that was the City had <br />to identify some high-density areas for the Metropolitan Council. <br /> <br />Walsh noted the City had to identify some high-density areas to meet the Metropolitan Council’s density <br />requirements and that this site was felt to be one of those areas that could handle higher density. The <br />reason some of these areas were rezoned was to create opportunities for higher density. Since that time
