MINUTES OF THE ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING Monday, March 9, 2020 6:00 o'clock p.m. Barnhart stated if that was a direction given, he did not catch it. Referencing material displayed, he discussed grading and noted that the numbers could be raised. Walsh noted the threshold is 50. Barnhart agreed, clarifying that in the lake yard it is much different. Walsh asked Bollis if the Planning Commission suggested 500. Bollis stated the Planning Commission added the column regarding 5 acres or over. He said there are many larger lots that should not carry the burden of the 50 number. They also adjusted the larger numbers, and he thought the trigger number on the lower end was going to be higher than 50. Walsh asked Bollis what the trigger number would be. Bollis said that he did not remember a number being discussed but that it was a direction. He stated it could be up for discussion. Barnhart suggested changing the lower number to 100 for the larger lots on the grading. Walsh asked if that would be for lots larger than 5 acres. Johnson indicated it should be 5 acres of drive/buildable. Walsh said 100 was a good number to start with and the Planning Commission could do more thinking and connect again with Barnhart. Rief noted some of the parcels that are larger than 5 acres are horse farms, and 5,000 square feet of area will not allow them to grade their arena. Barnhart stated they can do that, but they would need a permit by Staff to ensure that the owner will stabilize the site and not cause any drainage issues with neighbors. Bollis said 100 sounded reasonable. Crosby moved, Seals seconded, to direct Staff to forward the final draft to the DNR for their review and comment as required with the "100" and "5 -acre plus" language included.
