MINUTES OF THE � '' � <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br /> Monday,June 15,2015 <br /> 6:30 o'clock p.m. <br /> Lemke asked what consideration has been given to traffic loading. <br /> Gaffron stated one of the things Staff looked at in conjunction with the JEM property on Old Crystal Bay <br /> Road was achieving enough separation from the OCB/Wayzata Blvd. intersection. Gaffron noted the <br /> engineers have not looked at this development, but that Staff would ask that they look to see if there is <br /> any need for turn lanes and signalization. Gaffron stated if the south access was the only access,there <br /> would be a very long cul-de-sac. <br /> Thiesse asked if Staff could describe a scenario where the City could come close to meeting the density <br /> for this property. <br /> Gaffron stated that scenario would require multi-family units, such as apartment buildings or <br /> condominiums. Gaffron stated at a minimum twin homes would need to be constructed, but more likely <br /> multi-family buildings. <br /> Thiesse stated he prefers this over multi-family units. <br /> Leskinen stated in her view it is too much far the site. <br /> McGrann asked if they have done this type of development before and that he was surprised at the <br /> anticipated point. <br /> Gonyea stated a pretty similar project is located right across from the Wayzata High School. Gonyea <br /> stated at the time they worked with Pulte Hoines, who purchased all the lots back in 2009. The lots were <br /> 60-foot wide lots with 5-foot setbacks. The price point was approxiinately $400,000, but in today's <br /> market it would be in the $500,000 range. Gonyea stated that development was very well received and <br /> sold out very quickly. <br /> Gonyea noted the proposed development has 45-foot wide lots but they are a little bit deeper than the <br /> Pulte project Gonyea noted what they are proposing is below the guided density and that this is the <br /> product that seemed to fit the best for single-family residential on this site. <br /> Page 76 of 79 <br />
