ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES FOR MARCH 20, 2000 (#2563 Mike and Ruth Filbrandt, Continued) develop this property would be to replat the property, which would make it a Class Ill subdivision because flexible zoning is required in this instance from the five acre zoning requirement. Weinberger stated some other issues the Applicant will need to consider is the availability of acceptable septic sites for both lots, lot width, and adequate access. In order for the Applicant to accurately determine how much land is available for each lot in the subdivision. Filbrandt stated there may be some additional land in the rear that could possibly count as dry land and raise the total dry buildable land to ten acres. Lindquist commented that perhaps some consideration could be given to rezoning this area to two acres. Lindquist stated he would prefer seeing two acre zoning in this area versus have one five acre lot and one four acre lot. Weinberger stated the wetland delineation will help determine how much dry buildable land is actually available. Weinberger stated they did not consider rezoning this area to two acres due to the City's Comprehensive Plan. Lindquist stated the rezoning issue will need to be reviewed and approved by the City Council. Berg commented in her view rezoning to two acres is a viable option that should be considered for this property. Berg stated she is unsure why this area was zoned five acres. Hawn suggested if the Applicant is unable to meet the five acre minimum, to give some consideration to requesting that this area be rezoned to two acres. PLANNING COMMISSION COMMENTS (#9) REPORT OF PLANNING COMMISSION REPRESENTATIVES ATTENDING COUNCIL MEETINGS ON FEBRUARY 28, 2000 AND MARCH 13, 2000 Nygard stated the City Council is continuing to pursue the Dakota Rail to Trail project. Hawn noted the Planning Commission has been requested to meet with the Long Lake Planning Commission to discuss Wayzata's Development Guidelines and Comprehensive Plan, with a meeting date scheduled for April 11 at 6:30 p.m. Hawn stated she would like the Orono Planning Commission to meet in a workshop setting prior to that meeting. Hawn commented one reason for the joint meeting is to consider the possibility of cooperating on development that may occur along the Highway 12 corridor.
