ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br /> MINUTES FOR SEPTEMBER 21, 1998 <br /> 111 <br /> (#2420 Robert Ryan, Jr., continued) <br /> in the year 2000, and with the cold weather experienced during the Minnesota winters, he is taking <br /> the necessary precautions to be prepared for an extended power outage. <br /> McMillan commented she hopes NSP is able to correct the problem in the near future. McMillan <br /> noted wind towers are not allowed under the current City Codes, citing a reluctance to change the <br /> ordinance for one resident. <br /> Mrs. Ryan stated a neighbor in the area has installed commercial lighting on their property which is <br /> on much higher ground and there were no complaints regarding that. Ryan also noted there is also <br /> an old dilapidated building in the neighborhood which the neighbors have not requested be torn <br /> down. <br /> Chair Smith commented that was not the issue before the Planning Commission tonight. <br /> Van Zomeren stated CB towers enjoy special privileges that wind generators don't under the City <br /> Codes. <br /> Schroeder suggested the Ryans speak with NSP about the problem. <br /> Ryan noted NSP is predicting power outages that could last for days to a week at a time that could <br /> happen in the year 2000. <br /> Lindquist commented the tower basically is not permitted under the ordinance. <br /> Ryan remarked that was why they were seeking the variance, and requested the Planning <br /> Commission approve their request. <br /> Lindquist stated the Ryans could address the City Council and request an ordinance change. <br /> Lindquist moved, Smith seconded, to deny Application #2420, 3535 Christine Drive. <br /> VOTE: Ayes 6, Nays 0. <br /> (#11) #2389 DANIEL KLUTH, 2801 FOX STREET -CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT AND <br /> VARIANCES, 8:45 p.m. -8:54 p.m. <br /> The Certificate of Mailing and Affidavit of Publication were noted. <br /> Daniel Kluth was present. <br /> Kluth handed out a sheet containing his proposed code language additions for review by the <br /> Planning Commission. <br /> Weinberger stated the Planning Commission may wish to table this until after the Planning <br /> Commission votes on whether to amend Sections 10.03 and 10.20. <br /> Kluth indicated he would be agreeable to tabling this until after the next agenda item. <br /> ZONING AMENDMENT <br /> • <br /> Page 11 <br />
