MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MTETING Monday, April 17,2017 6:30 o'clock p.m. Lemke moved, Leskinen seconded, to recommend approval of text amendment per the attachment 41�* A of the work session packet, but revising the wording of Line 102 to add "at a minimum" requiring annual review. VOTE: Ayes 6, Nays 0. Thiesse asked if Staff has any concerns with B. Gaffron stated the RR -IB District is a fairly substantial residential district. As an interim use, the City is saying in general this is a district that might allow this, with specific conditions to be established by the Council, such as a time limit and site layout. Gaffron noted that does not mean the Planning Commission or City Council is required to approve the use for any property in the RR-lB District. Amy proposed use would have to meet all of the 1UP standards contained in A. Gaffron stated if they do not meet those, even though it is an allowed interim use in the RR- I B district, the City can say no. Thiesse stated one of his concerns is that the City is j umping forward for a specific project, which is the Highway 112 project. Lemke asked if this is the type of thing that would go along with an application. Thiesse stated in his view the City needs an interim use permit option but that they do not need it right now. Thiesse commented the City will find out how it works on the MnDOT property and that he is not sure whether the City has to rush through with this now. Gaffron stated the applicant has indicated he is looking at future phases should the MnDOT site not work out. Thiesse noted Phase 11 is on the other side of Long Lake and that the materials would need to be hauled through the city. Gaff-ron stated the urgency is not here today as it was a month or two ago. Landgraver stated since A was approved, an interim use permit can be issued. Page 20 of 72
