MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br />Monday, July 17, 2017 <br />6:30 o'clock p.m. <br />Landgraver stated in his view a more robust landscaping plan should be developed prior to going to the <br />City Council. Landgraver stated he is not sure whether there would be a benefit to angle the parking lot <br />to diminish headlights going into the condominiums. <br />Barnhart stated landscaping is part of an RPUD and would be reviewed as part of the final Master Plan. <br />Aggarwal noted the floor level of the condominium is much higher up than this building and that <br />headlights and so forth should not shine into the condominiums. <br />Thiesse asked if the Planning Commission feels there is justification for the CMP amendment and <br />rezoning. <br />It was the consensus of the Planning Commission that there is. <br />Thiesse asked if the Planning Commission feels there is sufficient justification for flexibility. <br />Schoenzeit stated there could be flexibility on some of it. <br />Thiesse noted the Planning Commission has already discussed Item No. 3 and that they have encouraged <br />him to provide more private recreation space. <br />Landgraver stated the City should also show some leniency on that item given the nature of the residents <br />and that perhaps they should include the rooftop seating areas. <br />Schoenzeit stated there could be flexibility in how to get to that number but that he would encourage the <br />applicant to get as close to it as possible. <br />Thiesse noted if they are going to provide a 10 -foot easement for a trail, that would be considered. <br />Barnhart stated his understanding is that a trail goes towards the Park Dedication. <br />Page 9 of 11 <br />
