MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEET[NG <br /> Monday,June 15,2015 <br /> 6:30 o'clock p.m. <br /> Mike Steadman, on behalf of Irwin Jacobs, stated he is a realtor with Coldwell Banker in Wayzata. <br /> Steadman stated they have looked at several concepts regarding this property, and given the impacts to <br /> the bluff,this proposal has less of an impact to the trees. Steadman indicated the building pads are also <br /> strategically placed to allow the driveways to meander through the woods and have less of an impact to <br /> the neighborhood. <br /> Steadman noted the lots consist of two to three acres with City sewer and that they are also hoping for <br /> access on Smith Bay for a slip. <br /> McGrann asked how many lots would be on the lake. <br /> Steadman indicated they have over 700 feet of lakeshore on Smith Bay. <br /> McGrann asked if there are a couple of nonlakeshore lots that would have lake access. <br /> Steadman stated all three lots would have a slip on Tanager Bay. Steadman indicated they would also be <br /> extending city sewer to the main house. <br /> Leskinen stated at first glance it appears to be a nice little development. Leskinen encouraged the <br /> applicant to pay very close attention to the woods and preserving the natural amenities as they go forward <br /> with the development. <br /> Steadman noted the Conservation Design is almost completed. <br /> Lemke stated the only thing he sees is what appear to be some fairly long driveways, especially as it <br /> relates to Lot 1. <br /> Leskinen asked if the final building pads have been determined. <br /> Steadman indicated Mark Gronberg is doing the survey work and that they will be tweaking those. <br /> Steadman stated they also will be working with a landscape architect. <br /> The Planning Commission took no formal action on this item. <br /> 15. #15-3752 ESTATE DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION,475 OLD CRYSTAL BAY ROAD <br /> NORTH,SKETCH PLAN REVIEW12:02 P.M.— 12:55 P.M. <br /> Tom Gonyea,Applicant, was present. <br /> Gaffron stated this is a sketch plan review for a 17-acre property comprised of three tax parcels proposed <br /> to be developed into 51 single-family residential lots. The property is currently zoned RR-1B and is <br /> bounded on the south by Highway 12 and on the west by the Dumas apple orchard. The density of the <br /> proposed development is four units per dry buildable acre. The 2008 Comprehensive Plan guides this <br /> property at a density of seven to ten units per acre and does not identify single family or multi-family. <br /> The applicant's intent is for the development to consist of single-family homes on individual lots, with <br /> approximately ten feet between units. <br /> Page 46 of 53 <br />
