MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION <br />MEETING HELD ON NOVEMBER 17,1997 <br />(#1 - Navarre Housing Study - Continued) <br />Van Zomeren stated Lake Minnetonka area cities have met over the summer to discuss <br />gathering information on housing in the revision of each community's Comprehensive <br />Plan. Some of the cities lack affordable housing. The cities are attempting to work <br />together on this issue and intend to hire a consultant to assist in this research. The Met <br />Council has provided $ 17,000 towards the hiring of the consultant. The groundwork has <br />been laid out in respect to review of affordable housing. <br />Berg asked if a HRA block grant would be required, and if so, who would administer it. <br />Van Zomeren said she did not know if this was necessary but noted that the programs use <br />the same contact person and will investigate the matter. <br />Lindquist asked Staff to keep the Planning Commission updated noting additional work is <br />required. Bressler said additional work will be performed as review of the <br />Comprehensive Plan continues. <br />OLD BUSINESS - CONTINUED PUBLIC HEARINGS <br />(#2) #2290 ELAINE AND STEVE SILUS, 3235 CASCO CIRCLE - <br />CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 6:45-6:47 P.M. <br />The Applicants were unable to attend the meeting. <br />Havm moved, McMillan seconded, to table Application #2290. <br />Lindquist reported that the application would not be reviewed again until the January <br />meeting of the Planning Commission.
