MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION <br /> Tuesday,January 19,2021 <br /> 6:00 o'clock p.m. <br /> house pads are over 10,000 square foot footprints,they are never going to be that big on one level. They <br /> wanted to oversize it so people could see just how lush it might be and also wanted to show they honored <br /> all the setbacks on the perimeter and the setbacks on the interior. <br /> Gettman asked about Outlot D, how did it come about as it looks like it is brand new and actually <br /> overextends onto the other property east of the estate. <br /> Mark Gronberg of Gronberg and Associates said there was some extra land there just opposite the road <br /> right-of-way;A,B,and C have enough width and it was just an extra area possibly used for people <br /> walking down to the lake or parking to carry things down. He said it could be combined with lot C and <br /> then they would have an easement over it for multiple usage or it could be Outlot D for lake access <br /> purposes. <br /> Gettman said as they were considering the outlots and potentially adding Outlot D,traffic seems to be one <br /> of the major concerns and he asked how they planned on having people utilize lots A through D. <br /> Mr. Gronberg has walked that road and it is very busy, so he thinks it would be wise to have an easement <br /> come down across from the main road into D and then have an easement to walk to A, B, and C rather <br /> than having people walk in the right-of-way. <br /> Gettman noted Outlot D would become more of a parking lot. <br /> Mr. Gronberg replied in the affirmative. <br /> Libby said traditionally all of these outlots that are lakeshore are subject to be a part of another property. <br /> Hennepin County has typically added a separate PID identification to each of those lakeshore lots. He <br /> asked in this case that they will end up with a tax ID number for each of these A,B, C, and D outlots. <br /> Mr. Gronberg knows those outlots will be combined with the other lots so it is possible they would just <br /> assign it one PID. <br /> Libby said that would be unusual and that is why he asks. <br /> Mr. Gronberg noted because the road separates those lots from the outlots,the County will not allow them <br /> to plat them as lots 1,2, and 3. <br /> Libby noted Outlot D as indicated could possibly be developed into some type of parking or drop off <br /> access. Even though lots 1,2, and 3 appear to be physically relatively close to the thoroughfare and <br /> where potential dockage would be that is a significant length of area to come down with something like a <br /> golf cart. He stated that is a very narrow portion of the lakeshore land and it really would not be suitable <br /> or feasible to actually have a vehicle there or vehicles coming in and out as it is a very heavily trafficked <br /> County Road. He thinks there would be substantial danger to pedestrians crossing,but it does not really <br /> seem feasible that D is a place for a car can pull in and out. <br /> Chair Ressler said this portion of the application is just for questions and they may be able to provide <br /> some feedback. He asked to table that until they get through the public hearing and they can circle back. <br /> Chair Ressler opened the public hearing at 6:35 p.m. <br /> Page 5 of 28 <br />
