MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br />Monday, March 20,2017 <br />6:30 o'clock p.m. <br />Thiesse stated in his view the Planning Commission has an obligation to review and give a <br />recommendation on a draft ordinance. Thiesse stated he thinks it is a good idea but that he would like to <br />see some language regarding it. <br />Landgraver commented that would also give people something to respond to. Landgraver stated it might <br />also be useful to hear the next application. <br />Chair Thiesse opened the public hearing at 7:13 p.m. <br />Allan Engleman, 315 North Old Crystal Bay Road, stated he has questions regarding pollution and traffic. <br />Engleman stated if someone tries to turn in there, it is not possible with that guardrail. Engleman stated <br />he is not sure what the taxes currently are on this property, but when it is turned into a money making <br />deal, he has a question of how it will be taxed. <br />In addition, when �&. Eisinger put that fill in there, he did not compact anything. Engleman stated if they <br />start placing excess material in there and other items, the land will sink. When Hennepin County installed <br />the new road, the swamp was proposed to be dug out, but because of the pollution, they decided not to dig <br />it out. When the County 6 interchange was put in, a land bridge was constructed because they would not <br />dig it out and fill it back in. Engleman asked what is going to happen with the pollution when they start <br />doing this new activity. <br />Engleman asked if they are going to be able to crush concrete or whether the City will limit them to <br />daytime hours. Engleman stated there are a lot of questions that need to be answered before this can be <br />approved. <br />Thiesse noted the Planning Commission will be discussing some of that under Item No. 6. <br />Chair Thiesse closed the public hearing at 7:16 p.m. <br />It was the consensus of the Planning Commission to suspend discussion on this item and to open <br />Item No. 6. <br />(Discussion on this item was suspended from 7:16 p.m. to 7:56 p.m.) <br />Page 13 of 64 <br />
