ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION <br /> Monday,June 21, 1999 <br /> III (#8) #2498 MOLLY AND DRAPER JAFFRAY, 2620 FOX STREET -SKETCH PLAN —(cont.) <br /> Stoddard recommended that the Applicant discuss this project with the Minnehaha Watershed <br /> District to determine whether it has been delineated as a wetland and what the Applicant's options <br /> are concerning the wetland. <br /> Jaffray stated that he has a person interested in purchasing a portion of this property, which is the <br /> reason for the subdivision. <br /> Gaffron commented that perhaps a small section could be acquired from the adjoining property <br /> owner should the lots be less than two acres. Gaffron recommended that the Applicant meet with <br /> City Staff to discuss these issues further, noting that there is a possibility that the Applicant may <br /> not be able to proceed with the subdivision if the lots are less than two acres. <br /> Lindquist noted that a two acre minimum is required for this zoning district. <br /> Hawn suggested that the Applicant have the septic sites tested as well. <br /> OLD BUSINESS, CONTINUED <br /> (#1) #2488 GREGG KLOHN, 4455 NORTH SHORE DRIVE -VARIANCES <br /> Gregg Klohn,Applicant,was present. <br /> Gaffron stated this application was tabled at the May Planning Commission meeting to allow the <br /> IIIApplicant time to review other possible locations on his property to rebuild his damaged garage. <br /> The Applicant, upon review of different options and meeting with staff, has indicated that he would <br /> like to stay with his original plan. The location of his well and a power pole make it difficult to <br /> locate the garage on the northeast section of the lot. In addition, if the garage were to be located <br /> on the northeast section of the lot, a turn-around area would be needed,which would increase the <br /> amount of hardcover. <br /> Gaffron noted that Applicant has indicated he will remove an existing shed when he replaces the <br /> garage which changes the proposed hardcover amount in the 200-500'area. The existing hardcover <br /> is 32.8 percent and the new proposed hardcover is 34.2 percent. Variances to side yard and rear <br /> yard setbacks as well as hardcover are needed. <br /> Klohn stated that the non-conforming shed would be removed. <br /> Smith inquired whether City Staff had a recommendation concerning this application. <br /> Gaffron stated it is City Staff's recommendation that this application be denied. <br /> Klohn remarked that he did review other possible locations for the garage but that no other suitable <br /> sites exist for the garage. <br /> Hawn commented that she has a difficult time with this application in that other choices could be <br /> made concerning location of the garage. <br /> Klohn stated that he could construct the new garage in the same location as the previous garage. <br /> • Hawn stated that the new location is not a significant improvement. <br /> Berg commented that in her view the garage should be located further back. <br /> 13 <br />
