MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION <br /> Monday,March 16,2020 <br /> 6:00 o'clock p.m. <br /> Libby said it is not within the Commission's purview to be talking about that or making decisions but is <br /> more of a perspective of the development and how it will come together because these are lakeshore lots, <br /> which makes them distinctively different from other lots that do not have access to the lake. <br /> Barnhart said he expects all 4 lake lots to have docks, although he does not know that. He would <br /> anticipate all the docks would meet LMCD requirements. Other than that,plans have not been developed. <br /> Libby noted that if it is a new dock,the City would require a license. <br /> Barnhart stated Libby might be referring to joint-use docks,which the City requires a permit for.The <br /> applicant has not suggested that is the case for this project nor made mention of it at this point. <br /> Ressler noted the feedback he is hearing is that this is going in the right direction.He does not see <br /> anything offensive with the proposed layout,it looks thoughtfully placed,and it would be in character <br /> with the neighborhood. <br /> Erickson referenced the letter from the Hennepin County Transportation Planner,stating they talk about <br /> Heritage Lane,and added that if it is not considered reasonable,they would accept the retention of the <br /> existing driveway as proposed.He said he would not consider it reasonable to shift all the traffic to <br /> Heritage Lane and it would be more reasonable to use the existing driveway on County Road 15.If that is <br /> the route taken,they recommend turn lanes on 15,which he would endorse due to the high traffic and <br /> high speed.Two full turn lanes for in and out would maximize the safety aspect. <br /> Libby said when the first phase of Tanager Estates was developed,there was substantial precedence set <br /> by a lot of evidentiary and the Orono Bluff Preservation Ordinance and that the bluff is very recognizable, <br /> it is delineated,and any construction or work would have to be within the guise and auspices of Orono's <br /> Bluff Conservation Ordinance. <br /> Barnhart noted this item would be before the City Council on April 13. <br /> 7.
