MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING MONDAY, OCTOBER 15.2001 («I0) tfOI-2723 MARK BREWER, 3800 SHORELINE DRIVE, COMMERCUL SITE PLAN REVIEW, 8:19 p.m. - 8:41 p.m. Mark Brewer. Applicant, was present. The Certificate of Mailing and AITidavit of Publication were noted. Weinberger stated the Brewer Chiropractic Clinic in Mound has filed an application for a commercial site plan review to convert the existing non-conforming single family dw elling located at 3800 Shoreline Drive into a clinic. The property is located within the B-S District, with clinics being a permitted use in this district. Weinberger noted no variances are required. Weinberger slated the building has undergone some extensive interior remodeling by Brewer as part of the conversion of the structure from a residential use to a clinic/office use. The remodeling has included making the building handicap accessible per .ADA requirements. The City has issued permits for the interior remodeling, but the creation of a commercial parking lot has triggered the need for a commercial site plan review. The proposed parking lot was partially installed prior to the issuance of permits, and work was slopped by the building inspector pending approval of this commercial site plan review. Weinberger slated the site plan does meet all the requirements of the B-5 Zoning District, w ith the proposed use being an excellent fit for the B-5 District. The primary issues w ith the site is the ability to adequately direct runolT without curb and gutter and the proposed location and direction of the drainage outlet. The City Engineer and Staff are recommending that the parking lot be provided with concrete curb and gutter to provide positive runoff control and that the runoff be directed to the northwest toward the planning Hennepin County stormwater pond rather than eastward toward the future City park site. Weinberger stated the Applicant is proposing to provide eight parking stalls, which meets the minimum requirement. Ihe Applicant has also been in contact w ith the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District, with Ihe MC WD issuing a permit for the proposed plan. Staff recommends approval of the application subject to the follow ing conditions: 1.The final design of the parking lot must meet the requirements as specified by the City Engineer, including the installation of curb and gutter to positively direct runoff to its intended end location, avoiding ptential negative impacts to adjacent properties. 2. The final stormwater management and drainage plans, including a drainage area map and calculations, must be submitted for review and approval by the City Engineei. and the final stormwater plan must be confirmed as acceptable to the MCWD. 3. All other comments noted by the City Engineer, in the letters dated September 27.2001, and October 10. 2001. must be satisfied. Brewer stated he is agreeable to directing the water in the direction recommended by Staff, but indicated he was unaware of the City ’s requirement for curb and gutter. Brewer stated due to financial concerns, he would like to delay installation of curb and gutter. Brewer indicated to install curb and gutter would cost between $10,000 and $12,000. PAGE 16
