MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br />Monday, February 22, 2016 <br />7:00 o’clock p.m. <br />_____________________________________________________________________________________ <br /> <br />Page 11 of 13 <br /> <br />11. TCO DESIGN, 2380 SHADYWOOD ROAD – REZONING AND CONDITIONAL USE <br />PERMIT – RESOLUTION NO. 6589 (continued) <br /> <br />McMillan thanked Mr. Wolfson for his input on this property. <br /> <br />McMillan stated in her view Item No. 7 in the resolution is worded awkwardly and that she does not <br />remember the proximity to the Dakota Rail trail being discussed as an issue. <br /> <br />Levang stated it is not an issue of hers. <br /> <br />Barnhart suggested revising the language to read as follows: The rezoning of the property to B4 could <br />allow for uses not appropriate for the property given its location adjacent to residentially zoned property <br />and proximity to public amenities, such as the Dakota Rail trail. <br /> <br />Printup stated he likes the sound of it. Printup questioned whether the park should also be listed if the <br />Dakota Trail is in there. <br /> <br />Barnhart stated it could read Dakota Rail and the city park. <br /> <br />McMillan stated the suggested language sounds better. <br /> <br />Printup moved, Levang seconded, to adopt RESOLUTION NO. 6589, a Resolution Denying a <br />Rezoning to B-4 Office/Professional for the Property at 2380 Shadywood Road and a Conditional <br />Use Permit for a Nursing Home, with Item No. 7 being amended as follows: The rezoning of the <br />Property could allow uses not appropriate for the Property given its location adjacent to <br />residentially zoned property and proximity to public amenities such as the Dakota Rail Trail and <br />Navarre park. VOTE: Ayes 4, Nays 0. <br /> <br />*12. #16-3800 WHITNEY AND BETTY MacMILLAN AND CONLEY AND CAROL <br />BROOKS, 1560 AND 1640 FOX STREET, EASEMENT VACATION AND REDEDICATION – <br />RESOLUTION NO. 6590 <br /> <br />Levang moved, Printup seconded, to adopt RESOLUTION NO. 6590, a Resolution Vacating a <br />Drainage and Utility Easement within Lot 2, Block 2, MacMillan Addition, Hennepin County, <br />Minnesota. VOTE: Ayes 4, Nays 0. <br /> <br />MAYOR/COUNCIL REPORT <br /> <br />Walsh reported he has attended a number of meetings over the past few months with the Orono Ice Arena <br />Board and that a new manager has been hired. Upcoming projects include redoing the rink, advertising, <br />and implementing some best management practices to get everything on an above-board basis. <br /> <br />Walsh commented he recently attended the Chicago Blackhawk/Minnesota Wild hockey game, and <br />during halftime the top 10 scorers from the Minnesota Gophers women’s hockey team were introduced. <br />Walsh stated those types of events help to highlight the great sports that are available here in Minnesota. <br /> <br />Walsh noted the Council has received a lot of e-mails from Staff regarding the roads and that now is a <br />good time to drive the roads given the lack of snow to verify what is out there.
