MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION <br />Tuesday, February 21, 2017 <br />6:30 o'clock p.m. <br />driveway and will make access to the applicant's property much easier and less of a burden to the senior <br />housing property. <br />The Planning Commission and City Council should determine if the proposed daycare use is consistent <br />with the Community Management Plan and/or the neighborhood. The Planning Commission should also <br />discuss whether any specific conditions should be imposed to mitigate the impacts of the use. <br />Planning Staff recommends approval of an amendment to the PUD No. 2C Agreement to allow a daycare <br />use at this site. Staff does not recommend amending the allowed uses within the B-6 District to include <br />daycare at this time. <br />Thiesse asked whether discussion on this application should be limited to the PUD. <br />Gaffron indicated that is correct. Gaffron stated Item No. 3 is regarding the conditional use permit <br />request and that it would be very difficult to review a proposed use without having some sense of how the <br />property will be used. <br />Lemke asked if there is any issue with using the parking area to the east and having access through there. <br />Gaffron stated when Amber Woods was developed, the City required an easement to allow traffic from <br />the subject property to go through the senior housing parking lot. That easement has been in place for <br />approximately 15 years. <br />Lemke asked if going to the north towards the strip mall would be an option. <br />Gaffron pointed out the location of the existing infrastructure in the area. Gaffron stated the initial intent <br />was that the parking area could become a continuation of a road via outlots that exist through the <br />Sugarwoods subdivision. The easement that was over the Otten Brothers property no longer exists. <br />Gaffron stated the need to go west with the road is not an immediate need and it is possible there will <br />never be a need for that. Gaffron stated the grade change makes that connection a little more difficult but <br />not impossible. <br />Page 4 of 48 <br />
