MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION <br /> Tuesday,June 21,2022 <br /> 6:00 o'clock p.m. <br /> Mr. Swanson replied they did use some of the Hennepin County measuring tools but he has not seen any <br /> of the federal overlays. <br /> Oakden clarified this is not a public hearing as listed on the Agenda but rather should be listed under <br /> Other Business for feedback. <br /> Bollis asked Oakden about the required lot depth. <br /> Oakden replied she does not know if there is a required lot depth for the front lot but there is one called <br /> out for the back lot at the 150%. Staff looks for the dry envelope,two acres dry contiguous,and in this <br /> zoning district they have 100 foot front and rear setbacks which will be limiting when dealing with a <br /> narrow lot. <br /> McCutcheon noted for the Applicant that the Commissioners are trying to brainstorm ways to put a <br /> driveway where they could actually split it and change the definition of"front." He told the Applicants <br /> the City would want a five acre minimum and adherence to the 300 foot front yard. <br /> Oakden clarified in septic areas they require 2 acres of dry buildable so wetlands do not count towards <br /> acreage; on this lot they could essentially have 3 acres of wetland with 2 acres dry contiguous and five <br /> acres total for the lot size. <br /> Ressler noted the issue now is zoning and that is what the Commissioners must follow. <br /> Libby noted they have had quite a few cases before them where the guidelines they must use are very <br /> finite and can be strict. <br /> 6. UPDATE ON JUNE 13,2022 CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br /> Oakden shared Jeremy Barnhart has resigned as Community Development Director and moved on to <br /> Eden Prairie.
