MINUTES OF THE ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING Monday, September 14, 2020 6:00 o’clock p.m. _____________________________________________________________________________________ Page 6 of 26 now it’s part of a development. He said the Council tries to treat everyone fairly and do what makes sense for the City as a whole. Mayor Walsh agreed and added they think about what’s best for the community as a whole, regarding the lake and all of those things. Crosby noted the party who wrote the letter is not at the meeting tonight. Johnson said he thinks it goes without saying that the approval ties the Council’s support for the MUSA expansion into a 5-acre development. If the developer sells the property off, the Council is not setting aside a MUSA expansion for this parcel as a whole in the future, instead it is tied in to this specific density and asked if that is correct. Mayor Walsh replied yes. Barnhart noted the Comp Plan Amendment process has two steps, the first is tonight where Council directs Staff to submit an application to the Met Council, who will approve the application with the condition of the Council approving the final version. He said the Council will approve the final version at the same time that they approve the final plat. Mayor Walsh said even if the property was sold off and a different developer came in and wanted to increase density beyond what is supposed to be on the books, they would still need to come back to the Council. Johnson asked if the MUSA is still reopened then once it changes. Walsh replied yes. Johnson said with that clarification he continues to second the motion. Printup said to further clarify, the zoning is pretty firm. VOTE: Ayes 5, Nays 0. 15. LA19-000048 – TIMOTHY WHITTEN O/B/0 IRWIN JACOBS 2018 REV TRUST, 1700 SHORELINE DRIVE PRLIMINARY PLAT – RESOLUTION Timothy Whitten O/B/O Irwin Jacobs 2018 Rev Trust, Applicant, was present as well as Mark Gronberg of Gronberg and Associates, the Civil Engineer. Staff presented a summary packet of information. Crosby asked if the lots are considered lake lots. Barnhart replied right now the lots are not considered lake lots as platted because they do not have frontage on the lake. The intention is that Lot 3 will combine with Lot A with a corresponding out-lot on the South side of Shoreline, those lots would then be lake lots. Walsh noted the developer can’t do that until they are platted.
