MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING Monday, October 16, 2017 6:30 o’clock p.m. _____________________________________________________________________________________ Page 3 of 5 Barnhart stated having the road as access makes it easier and that there will probably be some additional impacts but that the City Engineer has reviewed it briefly and did not raise any concerns with relocating it. Leskinen commented having the road go down the middle might be better for the lake since it would help with salt runoff and hardcover. Barnhart stated having the road by the lake also provides some benefit to the area in terms of lake views. Chuck Alcon stated since they submitted their plan, they have met with the fire chief, which led to the basis of the radius of the cul-de-sac. The road would also improve emergency vehicles access. Alcon stated they also met with LMCD staff, and since there will be no marina, each property owner will be responsible to permit their own docks on their lakeshore. Alcon indicated they also met with the MCWD staff, and they are eager to get the road off the lakeshore. The proposal is to maintain the sewer line and provide an easement using grass pavers so the maintenance trucks can get down there. A wetland delineation has been completed and that has been submitted to the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District. Alcon indicated they will have that information for the preliminary plat. Attempts have been made to contact the property owners in the area and that those attempts have not been successful at the present time. Alcon indicated they will continue to make attempts to contact them. Alcon stated shifting of the road improves the lake quality and that they will contact Hennepin County as far as the additional traffic going onto County Road 15. Onsite ponding and infiltration are the current concepts for the stormwater management onsite and sanitary sewer capacity calculations will be provided at the time of preliminary plat. Sanitary sewer maintenance access will be along the existing roadway area but with grass pavers. The grass pavers will accommodate up to 88,000 pounds. Alcon noted a Conservation Design Plan is required and that they will provide that at preliminary plat.
