CITY OF ORONO RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL NO. (3) Adequately served by police, fire, roads, and stormwater management. The proposed temporary use is anticipated to be adequately served by existing services andfacilities. (4) Provided with an adequate water supply and sewage disposal system. The needs for water supply and sewage disposalfor the proposed temporary use are not established, and will have to be providedfor by the operators of the site, as municipal sewer and water are not currently available. (5) Not expected to generate excessive demand for public services at public cost. No excessivepublic services orpublic costs are anticipated based on the proposed temporary use. Any costs ofmonitoring the sitefor compliance will be charged back to the applicant (6) Compatible with the surrounding area as the area is used both presently and as it is plannedto be used inthe future. The proposed temporary use at this site if operated under controlled conditions has potential to be compatible with the surrounding area. The site is open and relatively flat, it has good accessibility to Wayzata Boulevard; it is large enough for the intended activities; and it is relatively remote from nearby residential development (700'to home to the NE across Wayzata Blvd., 1000'+from any homes to the SW across the freeway, so that the potential negative impacts such as noise, vibration, glare, dust, etc. are anticipated to be minimal as compared to most other locations within the Wayzata Boulevard corridor. The proposed location of the temporary use does not conflict with the future single-family residential use of the property. (7) Consistent with the character of the surrounding area, unless a change of character is called for in the community management plan. The proposed temporary use is bordered on the south, west and north by arterial roadways. The property to the east contains an apple orchard farming operation, separated from applicant's temporary use by a large wettand. While the temporary use is not consistent with the character of the surrounding area, its temporary nature is not anticipated to have any long-term effects on the character of the area once the temporary use ceases. (8) Compatible with the character of buildings and site improvements in the surrounding area, unless a change of character is called for in the community management plan. The temporary use will not havepermanent structures. The potential permanent change which might impact the character of the neighborhood would be construction of a berm along the southwesterly portion of the site, which would act as a visual barrier to views into the site from US Hwy 12, while providing a sound barrier as a benefit for future residential development of the site.
