Minnesota; 1. 2. 3. 4. 6. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of Orono, FINDINGS This application was reviewed as Zoning File ##04-3063. The property is located in the (I) Industrial District. The Orono Planning Commission reviewed this application on October 20,2004 and on a vote of 7 to 0, recommended approval of extension of the timeframe for applicant to meet the conditions of approval of Resolutions No. 4845, 4993, 5059 and 5084 to December 31, 2005; and after further review of the application at a continued public hearing on November 3, 2004 recommended approval on a vote of 6-0 for an amendment of the existing CUP to allow for revisions to the approved lighting plan for the easterly parking lot, finding that the proposed lighting plan to increase from four 25-foot poles each with double-1 000 Watt downcast shoe-box style fixtures, to twelve such poles, will have no significant impacts on neighboring properties, and finding that such lighting is appropriate for the uses approved for the property. The City Council finds that the proposed increase in lighting under the proposed plan will have minimal impacts on surrounding properties and is necessary to support the uses approved for this site while being designed in a manner that will minimize direct lighting spillover to surrounding properties. The City Council finds that the basis for an extension of the effective period of Resolutions No. 4845,4993 and 5059 as presented by the applicant is a unique circumstance which supports the granting of the extension. The City Council has considered this application including the findings and recommendations of the Planning Conunission, reports by staff and comments of the applicant and the effect of the proposed use on Ute health, safety, and welfare of the community.
