MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO PLANNING COM[MISSION MEETING Council <br />Monday, April 17,2017 Exhibit B <br />6:30 o'clock p.m. AIX <br />4. #17-3910 LAKE WEST DEVELOPMENT, LLC, 3245 WAYZATA BOULEVARD WEST, <br />CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT, 8:13 P.M. — 8:43 P.M. <br />Curt Fretham, Lake West Development, Applicant, was present. <br />Gaffron stated the applicants are requesting the City approve a permit for interim use of the property at <br />3245 Wayzata Boulevard for staging of construction activity associated with the Highway 112 <br />improvement project. There appear to be few suitable options for a staging area for that project and this <br />property scores high marks in terms of this type of use since the site is open and relatively flat, has good <br />accessibility, and is relatively remote from nearby residential properties. Potential negative impacts such <br />as noise, dust, vibration, etc., should be minimal as compared to most other locations within the Wayzata <br />Boulevard corridor. <br />Gaffron stated with the assumption that an interim use ordinance is adopted, a list of likely required <br />conditions for this use at any location would include minimum separation distance from nearby structures <br />or lot lines, minimum lot size, road maintenance, traffic control measures, and restricted to government <br />sponsored public improvement projects. <br />Additional site specific conditions should also be considered in approving the proposed construction <br />staging use. <br />The portion of the site proposed for construction staging is primarily over the closed landfill area of the <br />property. The landfill has been closed for many years and is relatively open and flat. Layers of clean fill <br />over the landfill were added by the former owner in order to establish a suitable cap for the landfill and <br />assure appropriate runoff characteristics. The current owners have had borings done in the landfill area in <br />order to determine the stability and extent of the landfill as well as what materials might be encountered if <br />a future phase of residential development is ever proposed. The area which gained preliminary approval <br />in 2016 for residential development is not within the proposed temporary staging area. <br />The proposed site use plan indicates the rock construction entrance to be located where the approved <br />future residential access would be located. This access point has been approved by Hennepin County as a <br />temporary construction access. <br />Page 23 of 72 <br />
