MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br />Monday, September 28, 2015 <br />7:00 o'clock p.m. <br />9. #15-3768 MICHAEL AND LISA LARSON, PROPOSED ORDINANCE AMENDMENT <br />RELATED TO DOG BOARDING AND GROOMING IN B-1 ZONING DISTRICT (continued) <br />Paul Johncox stated they will pull out the chain link fence and install a nice fence with landscaping on <br />both sides. The exterior of the building will also be improved. Johncox stated it will be a nice piece of <br />property when they are done with it. <br />Printup stated he has warmed up to it a little bit more but that he would still like to hear about the <br />residential areas that this building abuts up to. <br />Barnhart stated the Council has the option to deny the application for a text amendment as is, they can <br />recommend approval with any changes, or table the application until the Planning Commission <br />recommendation comes forward on the conditional use permit. <br />Printup stated he has heard a couple of times that some of these facilities are not necessarily in industrial <br />areas. <br />Barnhart stated when he visited the sites, a number of them were located in an industrial area and there <br />was noise from the nearby roads. The Adogo in Minnetonka is adjacent to residential and adjacent to a <br />condominium building. In that case the city planner indicated he has not received any complaints. There <br />was similar concern to what was received at the Planning Commission but since it has been open, the City <br />of Minnetonka has not received any other comments. <br />Levang noted there is an ordinance amending Chapter 62 and then an ordinance amending Chapter 78-1. <br />Levang asked which one Staff would want the Council to approve. <br />Barnhart stated the applicant proposed an ordinance amendment to Chapter 78-1 and 78-644 and then <br />Staff proposed the other one to help address the second layer of concerns. Barnhart stated he would <br />propose bringing the ordinance amending Chapter 62 back before the Council in two weeks. <br />Levang stated she does not have a problem with the application and that amending Chapter 62 makes <br />sense. <br />McMillan asked where the one dog per 85 square feet of gross floor area comes from. <br />Barnhart indicated he used Minnetonka's number. <br />McMillan asked if that is indoor or outdoor space. <br />Mike Larson stated it is strictly indoor space and that typically there are no requirements for outdoor <br />space. Larson indicated their outside play area will be between 700 to 800 square feet. <br />Printup asked if people will be coming in the middle of the night once there is staff on 2417. <br />Mike Larson stated they would like to get up to a 2417 by year two but that lobby hours will be 7 a.m. to 7 <br />p.m. <br />Page 16 of 27 <br />
