MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION <br /> Monday,May 17,2021 <br /> 6:00 o'clock p.m. <br /> Doug Johnson,200 SE University Ave,Minneapolis,said there is currently no plumbing in the detached <br /> garage and the owners would like to use it for an office and would like a toilet and sink,there will be no <br /> shower. <br /> Kirchner asked if the owner would be okay with the Commission adding a covenant added that a shower <br /> not be added. <br /> Mr. Johnson replied 100%. <br /> Barnhart noted they should be cautious about adding conditions that are not germane to the application in <br /> front of the Commission.

The covenant is dependent upon the noted features that <br /> will be roughed in. They would not be able to proceed if they did not have a covenant; it would not come <br /> back to the Commission as it is just a covenant at the Staff level. <br /> Ressler noted that includes a shower,as well. <br /> Curtis answered that is true. <br /> Ressler is on board with the applicant as applied. <br /> Ressler moved,Bollis seconded,to approve LA21-000031,724 Tonkawa Rd,Variance as applied. <br /> VOTE: Ayes 7,Nays 0. <br /> 3.
