MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br />Monday, February 8, 2021 <br />6:03 p.m. <br />_____________________________________________________________________________________ <br /> <br />Page 24 of 26 <br /> <br />19. LA20-000048 - TIMOTHY WHITTEN O/B/O I. JACOBS/A. JACOBS REVOCABLE <br />TRUST, 1700 SHORELINE DRIVE, PRELIMINARY PLAT - RESOLUTION – Continued <br /> <br />Crosby asked if that would be item G. <br /> <br />Walsh stated they could make it part of G: the evergreen buffering for the caretaker. <br /> <br />Barnhart noted Walsh had also suggested an easement related for pedestrians to get to Lot A. <br /> <br />Walsh said basically an easement along A, B, and C for walking. <br /> <br />Crosby said it sounds like that would be G and H. <br /> <br />Crosby moved to approve preliminary plat with all the conditions A-F as shown, and adding G, <br />evergreen trees giving coverage to the caretaker’s property to the east, and adding H which would <br />be an easement buffer along the shoreline so people can travel between the parcels. <br /> <br />Mattick asked to make a clarifying point. He thinks Crosby’s motion was to approve the plat; what Staff <br />is looking for, because the resolution is not drafted the motion is to direct Staff to prepare a resolution <br />approving it with those conditions. <br /> <br />Walsh said “so said.” <br /> <br />Crosby said yes, and thanked Mattick. <br /> <br />Crosby offered a substitute motion to direct Staff to prepare a resolution to approve the <br />preliminary plat application with Staff conditions and the added conditions G (evergreen buffering) <br />and H (easement for pedestrians). <br /> <br />Johnson asked if this is the right time to add the condition that there will be no communal dock there for <br />non-riparian properties. <br /> <br />Walsh thinks this is the appropriate time to put that, it would be condition I. <br /> <br />Johnson said with respect to J, does the City Council have to hammer home any more regarding the turn <br />lane and what options are available. <br /> <br />Mattick said they will be back here in two weeks and they can contact Hennepin County and tell them the <br />City Council is interested in a center turn lane and an acceleration lane and ask if that is on the table as <br />something they would require. He said they would get as candid of feedback from them as they can. <br /> <br />Walsh does not know that they put that as a condition but they would put it as a sidebar that they would <br />also like to get feedback from the County. <br /> <br />Mattick said they would direct Staff to try and facilitate that. <br /> <br />Crosby said that is good. <br />
