MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION <br />MEETING HELD ON NOVEMBER 18, 1996 <br />• <br />( #11 - #2196 Genmar Industries - Continued) <br />McConnell responded to the suggestions made in 1989 and again by Chief Cheswick for a <br />tunnel or bridge. She noted that Hennepin County said a bridge was not feasible and a <br />tunnel would be a security risk. <br />Doug Schmitt noted the presence of Indian Mounds in the Orono area and questioned the <br />review by the State archaeologist. Mabusth reiterated the findings by the archaeologist of <br />a natural sight with no burial grounds. Gaffron read the letter written by the State <br />archaeologist. <br />Schmitt inquired about a cut into the land on the north side by this site that had been <br />stopped. Gaff-on said he did not know the history of that excavation, but it was quite <br />visible when standing on the north side of the bluff. <br />Schmitt asked if there would be any opportunity for more slips. Gaffron said the LMCD <br />has already provided a special density permit noting a marina must provide a number of <br />amenities. Gaffron indicated the number of slips is in direct correlation to the shoreline <br />footage and amenities provided, and is within the jurisdiction of the LMCD. He did note <br />that the Council may have an opinion as to whether additional slips might ever be <br />developed at this site. <br />is hmitt informed the Commission that he was concerned that another building such as a <br />Sc g <br />double wide mobile might be erected on the site. McConnell said they have no intention <br />to add a structure or additional slips. <br />Hawn said she was opposed to cutting into the bluff on the lakeshore. Smith agreed <br />noting the recommendation for denial by the DNR. McMillan and Berg also voiced their <br />opposition to cutting into the bluff. <br />Lindquist asked the applicant if a vote or tabling was preferred.
