MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION <br />Monday, June 21, 2021 <br />6:00 o’clock p.m. <br />_____________________________________________________________________________________ <br />Page 1 of 1 <br />3. LA20-000043 ERIC LUTH O/B/O ONYX PERFORMANCE INVESTMENT LLC, 135 ORONO <br />ORCHARD ROAD, VACATION <br />Staff presented a summary packet of information (Item 3 on the Agenda under Public Hearings). Barnhart <br />noted this is a vacation of a portion of an unused sanitary sewer easement that cuts through the Orchard <br />Creek Development at 135 Orono Orchard Road. The proposed plat includes the creation and extension of <br />a new private road that will serve 5 single family residential lots. Because the sanitary sewer easement is <br />not used and encumbers the buildability of this lot, the Applicants are requesting it be vacated. Staff <br />supports that but would suggest that the portion of easement that cuts through the buildable portion of the <br />property be shifted to the south along the boundary line of these two lots so that the ability to provide <br />future connections or extensions of the sanitary sewer system are still available. Once they vacate a <br />project or easement it is very difficult to get one back. The Met Council also seems supportive of the <br />vacation. <br />Vice Chair Ressler opened the public hearing at 7:20 p.m. <br />Vice Chair Ressler closed the public hearing at 7:20 p.m. <br />Gettman moved, Libby seconded, to approve LA20-000043, 135 Orono Orchard Road, Vacation as <br />applied with the Staff recommendations. VOTE: Ayes 5, Nays 0. <br />Council Exhibit B <br />LA21-43
