MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br />Monday, October 18,2004 <br />6:00 o'clock p.in. <br />^ ( f' - . ^ <br />Gsffron noted the applicant has been working with the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District related to <br />wetland buffer and easement requirements. Based on their discussions with the MCWD, the applicant <br />was granted an extension of the prior approvals and was allowed to temporarily place a fence in place <br />of the berms and plantings at the north end of the east parking lot. Staff docs not have a problem with <br />extending the approvals to December 31,2005. <br />Gaffron stated Staff would like. one. a detailed request from the applicant’s insurance company <br />specifying in detail what minimum level of lighting is required; two, detailed specifications on the <br />type of lighting fixtures proposed, including style and shielding; three, an analysis by the applicant’s <br />lighting company of other options for lighting, including but not limited to varying the wattage of the <br />fixtures, varying the height and/or number of fixtures, and varying the placement of fixtures; and four, <br />information on whether any building mounted lighting is proposed. Gaffron noted a cross-section ot <br />the parking lot elevations as viewed from Highway 12 to the back of the parking lot has been <br />provided. <br />Johnson noted Staff was provided some detail on the light fixtures a couple of years ago. which has <br />not changed. Joluison stated he was unable to locate that information in his files. Johnson indicated <br />he was only able to locate information that states tliat the fixture is a downcast fixnirc, which to his <br />understanding was approved for the north lot and for four lights on the cast lot. Johnson stated they <br />are not proposing to change that type of fixture at this time, but that the fixture would be mounted on <br />25’ foot poles rather than 45’ poles. <br />Johnson slated at the time this project was commenced, they were not contemplating changing the <br />eastern face of the building, but as the project progressed, the architect recommended refacing that <br />entire side. As a result, instead of the outcast lighting being mounted on the building, the lighting has <br />been changed to downcast lighting. Johnson staled some pat king lot lighting has been lost as a result <br />of that change. <br />PAGE 38
