Minutes <br />Planning Commission Regular Meeting <br />Monday, March 17, 2025, 6:00 PM <br />City Council Chambers 2780 Kelley Parkway, Orono, MN 55356 <br />6.1 LA24-0000543 ROB PAGE, 430 OLD CRYSTAL BAY ROAD NORTH, CONDITIONAL USE <br />PERMIT, PRELIMINARY PLAT AND SITE PLAN REVIEW <br />The Planning Commission is requested to review the Staff report, receive a presentation, and discuss and <br />approve or deny the application for a garage condo development. The Commission had tabled the request <br />at the February meeting requesting additional information. <br />The Planning Commission discussed the item and asked questions of staff and the applicant, Rob Page, <br />Shorewood, David Ramsey, and Matt Hagstrom, Hagstrom Engineering, Alexandria, MN. <br />Commissioners were concerned about parking, questioning whether all short-term parking could actually <br />happen within the units. They noted the Fire Department did not have issues with the plan. <br />Commissioners envisioned situations where there could be parking outside that blocked emergency <br />vehicles or where vehicles are parked outside while vehicles or items are being delivered or picked up. <br />They suggested designating one parallel parking space in front of each unit for temporary parking. <br />Commissioners were also concerned about overall density but said the appearance of the proposed <br />buildings was aesthetically pleasing. Commissioners said in general they were in favor of the application <br />but debated tabling the plan again or voting to deny so it could go immediately to the City Council with <br />the Commission's comments. <br />Ressler moved McCutcheon seconded, to deny LA24-000054, 430 Old Crystal Bay N, Conditional <br />Use Permit, Preliminary Plat and Site Plan Review as applied.
