MIN'UTES OF THE <br />ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br />Monday, March 20,2017 <br />6:30 o'clock p.m. <br />5. Construction of a proposed permanent screening berm along the south and southwesterly <br />boundaries of the site will require conditional use permit application and approval. <br />6. An annual review of the interim use permit shall be conducted to determine whether the use <br />remains acceptable during the duration of the Wayzata Boulevard improvement project. <br />Landgraver asked if Hennepin County has a site that they used during the project on Highway 12 on the <br />west side of Old Crystal Bay Road. <br />Gaffron indicated they vacated that property a number of years ago and Staff is not sure what the final <br />intent for the property is. <br />Curt Fretham, Lakewest Development, stated the entire site consists of approximately 30 acres and that <br />they will only be using a small portion of the site for this activity. Approximately half of the site is <br />wetlands and the other half is dry buildable land. Fretharn noted the green pasture area would be the <br />location of the majority of the activities. The area highlighted in blue depicts the lot. <br />Fretharn indicated the next slide illustrates the layout of how they envision things would work on the site. <br />Access would be on the left side of the property. The trucks would come in and dump on the left-hand <br />side. The material would then be processed in the blue highlighted area. Fretharn commented it seems <br />like there will be a lot going on but there is not that much to it. Fretharn stated they have done similar <br />activities on other sites previously. <br />In addition, a screening buffer would be created. Fretharn stated there will be a lot of excess clean fill <br />available from the job and that he was planning on using it to create a future buffering amenity but that it <br />could be created now. A formal landscape plan does not exist currently but some trees could be planted <br />along the berm to help further screen the site. <br />Fretharn stated he has done some of this before in other communities a lot closer to town. Fretharn <br />indicated they did a large demolition of a church in St. Louis Park where they crushed the materials, <br />recycled them, and then used some of the materials on site but then hauled some off site.
