MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING Monday, August 17, 2015 6:30 o'clock p.m. Curtis stated the City Engineer has reviewed them, revisions were made, and the Watershed District is in the process of reviewing them. Bill Brueggeman, Applicant, stated in the preliminary application regarding removal of the existing house and constructing a new home, Staff has advised them on how to proceed. The total amount of cut and fill required related to the conditional use permits winds up to be 1.6 cubic yards. Brueggeman stated if you take the entire area from the back of the house to the lake, that amounts to an 1/sth of an inch over the whole back yard, so it is a minor amount of soil. Brueggeman stated they have proposed three different solutions to the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District as to where the cut could be done and have accepted their final recommendation. Chair Leskinen opened the public hearing at 9:07 p.m. There were no public comments regarding this application.
