REPORT FROM PLANNING COMMISSION REPRESENTATIVES ON CITY <br /> COUNCIL MEETINGS SCHEDULED ON JiJNE 22,2015,AND JULY 13,2015 <br /> Schoenzeit stated he attended the July 13, 2015, City Council meeting, and that on the George Stickney <br /> application more background information was submitted and that Mr. Stickney made it imperative that <br /> approval be granted that night. Schoenzeit stated he was confused as to why Plan A was being discussed <br /> again when it was voted down. <br /> Gaffron indicated it might have had something to do with the fact that there was a purchase agreement for <br /> the lot that was eliminated in the Big Woods and that Mr. Stickney wanted to present both plans for <br /> Council review. <br /> Schoenzeit stated Gabriel Jabbour also reported on the number of emergency calls over the 4�''of July <br /> weekend. There were seventy-five 911 calls on Lake Minnetonka, which overwhelmed the system. <br /> Schoenzeit stated his take on it is that Orono has no public land to unload items brought in from Big <br /> Island and that the City depends on the goodwill of private marinas and private landowners. <br /> Landgraver asked if it was residents of Big Island making the calls. <br /> Schoenzeit stated the pictures showed a massive amount of people gathered in a few spots and that one of <br /> the emergencies involved someone whose leg was cut by a prop and someone who dove into shallow <br /> water. There was also a considerable amount of debris left following the celebration. <br /> Gaffron stated at the June 22 City Council meeting, there was a presentation on the Turnback 112 project <br /> as well as a presentation by the coordinator of Tour de Tonka. The Mark Anderson application was <br /> approved with conditions and final plat approval was given to the Lakeview development. Remediation <br /> work is still being done on the site and the plat has not yet been filed because a number of final <br /> documents need to be completed. The City Council also discussed the Navarre holiday decorations. <br /> 11.
