MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br /> Monday,April 12,2021III <br /> 6:00 o'clock p.m. <br /> LA20-000053—Dale Richardson o/b/o CBS MN Properties, LLC,2060 Wayzata Blvd W, Sketch <br /> Plan—Continued <br /> Walsh said the developer knows the box to work within and if they massage the box,they can make it <br /> work. <br /> Mr. Richardson said it just does not work at the lower unit numbers. <br /> Johnson said that could be and they have not gotten to addressing the setbacks or recreational space. <br /> Mr.Richardson asked even with all the other buildings in the area,such as Stone Bay at 37 feet. He noted <br /> they are sitting down in the hole below Sugar Woods and the building to the east is still going to be taller <br /> even though they are going up in elevation. He does not think the ask is that extreme. <br /> Walsh summarized that before bringing it to the Planning Commission the developer needs to get down to <br /> 30 feet or close to it. <br /> Barnhart asked about the support for the flat roof. <br /> The Council would be open to it. <br /> • <br /> Seals said one thing to keep in mind about Orono is if that lot sits there forever undeveloped,they do not <br /> care. <br /> Mr. Richardson just thinks it is a better fit than office condominiums. <br /> Barnhart clarified the setback is only an issue if they are above 30 feet. If they are below,they are okay. <br /> Regarding recreational space,he thinks they can get to the 10%with a mixture of uses and amenities. <br /> Usually those are anticipated to the target market. He is looking for some more information on the roof <br /> top deck. <br /> Crosby asked if they are going for 9 foot ceilings on each story. <br /> Mr. Richardson replied yes. <br /> Walsh said by going with a flat roof that is a bonus as they gain height. <br /> Mr. Richardson asked if they went with a mansard style roof would that allow any more height allowance. <br /> Walsh said no,not based on how they measure it. <br /> Barnhart noted there are specific rules on how they measure height and thinks they will get the most <br /> benefit with a flat roof. They can certainly consider both options. <br /> III <br /> Page 12 of 15 <br />
