MIHUTES OF A REGULAR MEETING HELD flARCH 6, 1972 <br />Tiic areas mentioned for priotities were <br />Hackberry Hill* Long Lake Country Club, <br />Smith's Bay, and Minnetonka Summit Park. <br />Gascn stated at a later time that these <br />could be conceivably grouped together so that <br />funding to do the entire project could be <br />obtained. <br />In regard to funding, Oberhauser stated tnat <br />various funding methods were studied in <br />>a.‘t sewer construction but conditions <br />imposed to receive these funds and the <br />length of time necessary to receive them <br />would have been offset by the rapidly rising <br />costs of the construction. <br />Elliott reported tiiat progress is being made <br />on the PUi) ordinance study. She displayed <br />a brochure put out by the Metro Council . <br />which she felt was apropos for layman study. <br />Copies of the PUD ordinances for other <br />suburban municipalities have been obtained <br />for study. Searles interpolated that PUD <br />ordinances are so varied that caution would <br />have to be used in obtaining the right one <br />for Orono. Oberhauser added unless PUD <br />ordinance gave amenities instead of density, <br />Orono would be better to stick with their <br />present ordinances. He also was of the <br />opinion that much could be done through <br />Donald Dayton, the district representative <br />to the Metro Council. <br />The matter of signs was briefly touched on. <br />The consensus of opinion being that the <br />factors to be considered were quality and <br />elevations. The Building Inspector stated <br />that sign control could be kept by enacting <br />legislation to require permits where size, <br />quality and elevation would be evident before <br />the sign was put up than after. <br />Searles spoke on the Lake Minnetonka <br />Conservation District shoreline policy being <br />formulated. He stated that it was a policy, <br />not an ordiJiance, but a policy that every <br />community on the lake should study with a <br />view toward making them a part of tiieir <br />ordinances. He stated the L.H.C.D. was <br />not denying the use of hard cover around <br />the lake but asking that the run off from <br />tliese hard covers be filtered by means of <br />jonding and berms instead of directly or <br />)y storm sewers. He asked that the Planning <br />Commission members study the policy and put <br />some input into the minutes of their meetings <br />by an expression of views. <br />Page 3 <br />JOINT MEETING
