� MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br /> Monday,June 15,2015 <br /> 6:30 o'clock p.m. <br /> Driveway access to the existing residence will not change. Prior to construction of a new home on the <br /> northerly lot,however, a Hennepin County driveway access permit will be required. Gaffron noted there <br /> are a number of locations where that driveway could be located. <br /> Gaffron noted this lot line rearrangement does not result in new lots and therefore no park fees and no <br /> stormwater trunk fees will be due. There are also no wetlands within the property boundaries. A wetland <br /> does exist on the adjacent property to the northwest of the site but does not impact any anticipated future <br /> site improvements. Hardcover is not at issue. <br /> The applicant's surveyor has described perimeter drainage and utility easements pi•oposed to be granted. <br /> Such easements do not currently exist as these properties were never platted. The City Engineer has <br /> recommended that the drainage and utility easement along the north boundary of the north parcel be <br /> expanded to ten feet, as this is abutting Baker Park. <br /> Staff recommends approval. The property owner has provided new proposed legal descriptions for each <br /> property. As part of this approval, the applicant will be required to file new deeds based on the new legal <br /> descriptions. Staff will work with the property owner and the City Attorney to ensure that the necessary <br /> documents are prepared and filed. <br /> The Planning Commission should hold the public hearing regarding the lot line rearrangement and make a <br /> recommendation to the City Council. <br /> Landgraver asked how big the property across the street is. <br /> Gaffron stated to his recollection it is approximately 30 acres. <br /> Landgraver commented that someone will likely want to develop that parcel at some point in the future. <br /> Gaffron indicated the City had a proposal to develop that property a five or six years ago but the project <br /> never went forward. Gaffron stated that should not impact what is being proposed tonight. <br /> Landgraver stated he is thinking more of the impact to traffic and the location of the driveways. <br /> Page 23 of 79 <br />
