MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br />Monday, May 8,2017 <br />7:00 o'clock p.m. <br />14. #17-3910 LAKE WEST DEVELOPMENT, LLC, 3245 WAYZTA BOULEVARD WEST, <br />INTERIM USE PERMIT: TEMPORARY USE FOR CONSTRUCTION STAGING. — Continued <br />Walsh stated it sounds like Mr. Fretham has to go through a lot more permitting than the contractor. <br />No additional public comments were received. <br />Crosby stated in his view this property is a better spot than the Mn/DOT property since the City can set <br />parameters on the use and it is further away. Crosby stated he is not as concerned with the quality of the <br />soil until they are ready to build the residential development. <br />Printup stated he disagrees with the location and that in his view there is no suitable site in Orono. <br />Seals indicated she agrees with Council Member Printup. <br />Walsh stated he has concerns with the apple orchard and the dust. Walsh stated they also have the <br />Mn/DOT site and the question is whether the City can mitigate that site in some way. Walsh stated he is <br />not in favor of rock crushing in Orono but noted that activity is currently occurring in downtown Long <br />Lake in front of Otten Brothers. Walsh asked if they would be able to get the storage moved to this site <br />but not the rock crushing part. <br />Mattick stated the City can allow it on this site but that the City has limited control over the Mn/DOT site. <br />Walsh stated he would prefer no crushing on this site but that the City cannot tell the contractor not to use <br />the Mn/DOT site, which is closer to the apple orchard. Walsh stated he also is not in favor of other debris <br />from other cities' projects being brought to this site. <br />Dankey noted there is a residential development being constructed right next to the apple orchard as well <br />and that the use will be for a limited amount of time. Dankey stated the permit can also be terminated at <br />any time if the City deems it appropriate. <br />Seals asked Mr. Engleman if he has a preference for which site it would be at. <br />Engleman stated it would be better on the Eisinger property since it would be further away but noted the <br />Council is concerned about the contamination to the site. Engleman noted the rock crushing will also <br />contaminate the state land. Engleman stated in his view the City should get some money for the rock <br />crushing and that the City should not have to support them. <br />Print -up asked where the runoff goes off of the Eisinger site. <br />Gaffron stated whatever runs off the existing Eisinger site goes to the wetlands and that the developer <br />could possibly construct some settling basins to help slow the runoff and help it infiltrate. Gaffron stated <br />if the Council is interested in those conditions, they can be imposed, but Staff would need to look into it. <br />Fretham stated the black dotted silt fence that goes around the entire perimeter of the site is to control <br />runoff. Fretham noted they have obtained the Watershed permit so they have reviewed the storm water <br />management for the site. <br />Page 15 of 34 <br />
