ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES FOR AUGUST 17,1998 («2391 EVAN ANDERSON. Continued) property. Anderson commented if the retaining walls were not present, the water runoff would go into his basement, and the improvements are necessary to keep the drainage out of his basement. Chair Smith inquired of the Applicants whether hardcover could be reduced. Anderson suggested the garage be moved further south into the driveway to eliminate some hardcover. Stoddard commented overall hardcover is a concern. Hawn noted structural coverage also exceeds the allowable limit. Stoddard suggested the Applicants construct a 22' x 22' garage per Staffs recommendations and limit overall hardcover at 55.3 percent. Hawn questioned whether the patio that was replaced was increased in size. Anderson stated the patio was not increased, citing a need for the hardcover to prevent water runoff. Stoddard moved, Schroeder seconded, to approve Application 2391 for property located at 1260 Spruce Place, granting of a Conditional Use Permit, an after-the-fact variance to hardcover per Staffs recommendations to allow patio and existing hardcover in the 0-75* zone, construction of a 22* by 22* garage, doubling of the permit fees, approval of a variance to side yard adjacent to street setback to allow construction of garage five feet from lot line, limiting total hardcover in the 75*-250' zone to S5.3 percent, with the stipulation that no additional hardcover or structural variances will be granted in the future. VOTE: Ayes 4, Nays 2, Hawn and Smith opposed, noting disapproval of structural coverage. (#6) #2398 WAYZATA COUNTRY CLUB, 200 WAYZATA BOULEVARD - CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT/LAND ALTERATION, 8:06 p.m. - 8:18 p.m. The Certificate of Mailing and Affidavit of Publication were noted. Mr. Oberhauser. a representative of Wayzata Country Club, was present. Gaffron stated the Wayzata Country Club is requesting conditional use permit approval of a master plan for upgrading the course which includes reconstruction, relocation or addition of tees for holes #1-18: reconstruction, relocation and/or addition of bunkers along most fairways and around most of the greens for holes #1-18; and expansion of three pond areas on the property, which are subject to City and MCWD/Corps of Engineers regulation and need to be further evaluated. Gaffron reported the Wayzata Country Club is proposing to widen the fairways, which will involve replacing of sod and minimal grading. Certain of the proposed tee locations will be near the road or Luce Line right-of-ways or residential lot lines. The Planning Commission may want to consider whether it would be appropriate to establish a minimum setback for tees from property boundaries based on the activity impact the tees would have on adjoining properties. Gaffron remarked the new bunkers are not an issue, but more detail will need to be provided before Page 8
