MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br />Monday, June 19, 2017 <br />6:30 o'clock p.m. <br />Barnhart noted there is some flexibility in shifting the property line, but it raises the question of how <br />shifting that property line will impact setbacks. In addition, the height of the building, density, and traffic <br />are also other issues that have been discussed tonight. <br />Thiesse stated the City has no control over who drives on the road. <br />Landgraver noted the City keeps kicking the density issue down the road and that this was a constructive <br />approach to reaching maximum density on the site. Landgraver stated in his view the higher density helps <br />Orono to a certain extent. <br />Schwingler stated he agrees the density has to be figured out and that this was a good solution. <br />Lemke stated he would prefer the Planning Commission take action on this item tonight. <br />Thiesse stated he wishes there was more flexibility but that the applicant has indicated he cannot reduce <br />the size of the building. <br />Ugorets commented he could put in affordable housing with 500 square foot units and keep it at 30 feet. <br />Landgraver moved, Lemke seconded, to recommend denial of Application No. 17-3944, Westwood <br />Professional Services on behalf of Ugorets, 8098, LLC, 2520 Shadywood Road, Zoning Change and <br />Master Plan Review. VOTE: Ayes 6, Nays 0. <br />John Thiesse, Chair <br />Page 14 of 14 <br />
