MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br />Monday, August 21, 2017 <br />6:30 o'clock p.m. <br />Thiesse stated he would prefer to include an understanding in the motion rather than a hard number. <br />Thiesse stated the City Council will be making that decision. <br />Landgraver stated the property owner has the ability to develop the property and that he does not believe <br />the neighbors will be entirely happy with whatever is constructed on the site. Landgraver noted there <br />have been some concessions made by the Lupients along the way and that he would be willing to advance <br />it with conditions. <br />Schoenzeit asked if the drainage could be observed prior to occupancy to ensure it works. <br />Barnhart stated the issue is that the City approves a building plan and a stormwater plan that includes <br />treatment as shown. The developer would then build it as approved. Barnhart stated he is not aware of a <br />scenario where it has been approved and then the City has not allowed them to occupy if it doesn't work. <br />Schoenzeit asked what the recourse is if it does not work. <br />Barnhart stated the standard condition on the building permit is someone cannot add water onto the <br />adjacent property, which is what is being proposed here. The developer will be adding hardcover so there <br />will be more runoff but the applicant is showing collection from the roof into an area not on the adjacent <br />property. In addition, the City Engineer has reviewed the plans and those comments have been <br />incorporated into the conditions. Barnhart stated in his opinion that is the due diligence Commissioner <br />Schoenzeit is looking for. <br />Schoenzeit moved, Lemke seconded, to recommend approval of Application No. 17-3962, Lake <br />West Development, LLC, on behalf of Rick and Barbara Lupient, for preliminary plat, subject to <br />the recommendations of Staff outlined in the August 21, 2017, Staff report, and based upon the <br />discussion of the Planning Commission, with a recommendation that the amount of fill be identified <br />prior to appearing before the City Council, with the understanding the Planning Commission based <br />their decision on 1,300 cubic yards of fill, and subject to the City observing and verifying the <br />current condition of Ivy Place prior to and after construction. <br />Page 17 of 19 <br />
