MINUTES OF THE Council <br />ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING Exhibit C <br />Monday, March 20,2017 17-3907 <br />6:30 o'clock p.m. <br />2. 17-3907 UGORETS 8098, INC., 2500 SHADYWOOD ROAD, CONDITIONAL USE <br />PERMIT, 6:32 P.M. — 6:41 P.M. <br />Barnhart stated the applicant is requesting a conditional use permit to permit a permanent dock into the <br />floodplain. Docks that provide reasonable access to the lakeshore and do not exceed eight feet in width <br />are among the listed conditional uses in the floodway. <br />Barnhart indicated some letters have been received from the Watershed District, the DNR, and the Army <br />Corps of Engineers. Barnhart noted the letters are not necessarily letters of approval but they provide <br />comments regarding the application. <br />Barnhart noted this portion of the lake floodplain does not include any boat connection to Lake <br />Minnetonka. <br />Last month the Planning Commission reviewed a sketch plan for an apartment building on the adjacent <br />lot and the property owners within 350 feet of this site have received notice of the public hearing. <br />Barnhart displayed a survey showing the existing site conditions. The proposed dock will be an accessory <br />structure to the principal office use on the property and will be offered as an amenity to its renters. <br />Barnhart pointed out the location of the proposed dock. The dock will be six feet wide and 180 feet long. <br />A portion of the dock will encroach into the wetland. The proposal includes a viewing/seating platform <br />into the open water area. The dock will be constructed of wood, including wood support pilings. <br />Staff has reviewed the standards for a conditional use permit and believes those standards will be met. <br />Staff does recommend that some type of warning lights or reflectors be placed at the end of the dock to <br />alert people about the new structure. No lights are proposed on the structure. <br />Staff recommends approval of the request. <br />Lemke asked owns the land around the dock. <br />Page 1 of 3 <br />
