MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION <br />Monday, May 17, 2021 <br />6:00 o’clock p.m. <br />_____________________________________________________________________________________ <br /> <br />Page 3 of 3 <br /> <br /> <br />Barnhart noted there are not a lot of other options as they do not want traffic onto Kelly or south into that <br />little parking area. He said they can do some examination on what they can do and that type of feedback <br />is very helpful. <br /> <br />Bollis’ concerns on the subdivision are they are creating a property that literally does not have its own <br />access and it has to access through the neighboring property. If it were ever to be sold separately, with the <br />easements they are talking about, he believes they ran into an issue with O’Sullivan’s and the old <br />Snyder’s building with a similar situation. He would rather see this application as a CUP or PUD so it is <br />still one parcel but the Commission gets to see it in its entirety and possibly realign the access to the site. <br /> <br />Ressler agrees that is a good point to make it a Planned Unit Development (PUD) so it would have <br />common areas for the access in and out. He said the issue with the Starbucks in Wayzata is a good point <br />and he pointed out the McDonald’s right next door to it, and a gas station, and a strip mall, all sharing that <br />space. It is a nightmare no matter what they are doing and the traffic counts are probably a bit heavier <br />there. He is more encouraged to think about the Caribou in Mound on Shoreline Drive where there does <br />not seem to be as much of an issue getting in and out of there. <br /> <br />McCutcheon clarified they do not want to access Kelly because it is a residential street. <br /> <br />Barnhart replied yes, and because of the grade issues. Any access on to Shoreline would be further east of <br />Kelly which would be beneficial from a traffic movement standpoint. Assuming it is not a PUD, a drive <br />through restaurant will be a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) back through the Commission. If it is a PUD <br />the zone change will come back through the Commission. The Council will see this on June 14, 2021
