MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br /> Monday, September 21,2015 <br /> 6:30 o'clock p.m. <br /> Berg asked if they have looked at flipping the design. <br /> Mike Larson stated they have not until this evening. Larson pointed out that would require putting a <br /> fence in front of a building and that would be a question for the community on whether that would be <br /> acceptable. <br /> Berg stated she is talking mare about the interior of the building. <br /> Thiesse stated he would prefer green space out there. <br /> Leskinen stated if the blacktop in front of the building is replaced with landscaping and grass, the <br /> likelihood of somebody stopping on Shoreline and going across grass will probably not happen. Leskinen <br /> stated that is also a good argument not to continue the sidewalk all the way to County Road 15. <br /> Thiesse stated in his view the community needs a sidewalk on that side of the street. <br /> Landgraver suggested the applicants think about other options for the outdoor space and possible noise <br /> mitigation. <br /> Mike Larson stated this facility would not be the first dog facility in the Twin Cities to abut up against a <br /> residential neighborhood. <br /> Lisa Larson noted one-third of the Adogo lot near Ridgedale is next to residential. <br /> Mike Larson noted they did submit some information on indoar dog facilities in the Twin Cities and that <br /> they do exist near residential areas. <br /> Thiesse stated he appreciates that,but the Planning Commission just received that information this <br /> evening. <br /> Leskinen asked if they would be okay with the application being tabled. <br /> Lisa Larson stated they understand traffic is an issue and that it is likely there would be four cars at peak <br /> time. Larson stated they could post Blaine Avenue no parking, which would force the people into the <br /> parking lot. Larson stated they could also take a look at putting the entrance on the northwest side. <br /> Barnhart stated in his view it is not an attractive spot to park given the amount of traffic. Barnhart <br /> indicated he would like to visit with the applicants a little bit more to see what can be done to address the <br /> concerns raised tonight and then bring the application back next month. <br /> Schoenzeit recommended they also revisit the amount of staffing. <br /> Lemke moved, Schoenzeit seconded, to table Application No. 15-3780,Michael and Lisa Larson, <br /> 3596 Shoreline Drive.
