MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION Monday,April 19,2021 6:00 o'clock p.m. Erickson spoke about pavement width. Kirchner would like to see the neighbors work together to have easements for lot 1 to access the driveway that is on lot 2. McCutcheon would like the neighbors to get together and come up with a solution and it does seem like they have been trying. If they somehow accomplished the horseshoe,would the City still want the cul-de- sac there? Barnhart said no,this is not an easy one,not only how the road is oriented and how to connect,but how do they accommodate hardcover and avoid creating non-conforming situations.He thinks the Commissioner's feedback is helpful and they may see something similar to this because it has to meet the ordinance. Perhaps a PUD is an option but this is not a subdivision,just a plat, and he cannot require them to go through the subdivision process. Kirchner thinks the Commission has given feedback on the item. 7.Update on April 12,2021 City Council meeting Barnhart said the City Council reviewed applications the Commissioners saw in March. 1405 Rest Point Road variances,the applicant made modifications and the Council approved it. The dock permit at 480 Big Island was tabled and the Mayor suggested the property owner's work together to find a solution.The CUP for plumbing at 3500 Bayside was approved on consent, as was the CUP for bees on Bayside. A variance at 4085 Watertown Road was approved,the preliminary plat at 1485 6th Avenue North was approved, and the variance at 15 Stubbs Bay Road was approved. The concept for the apartment building at 2060 Wayzata Boulevard West,the Council did not support additional height above the 30 feet but did seem to support the flat roof configuration.
