MINUTES OF THE ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING Monday, July 12, 2010 7:00 o’clock p.m. _____________________________________________________________________________________ Page 10 of 16 (6. #10-3472 WELSH SENIOR HOUSING, 875 WAYZATA BOULEVARD WEST, Continued) White commented that this is a well laid out plan on a somewhat difficult site and that it will be a great asset for the community. White stated he does not have a problem with the 24-foot width of the driveway. McMillan asked whether Staff should look at the issue with the park dedication fees. White stated in his opinion that would be the best approach. Franchot indicated he is in agreement with Mayor White and that the project seems very reasonable. Murphy stated he is looking forward to this project being completed in the near future and that it will be a good improvement over what currently exists on the site. Erickson stated Ecumen will be a partner in this endeavor with Welsh Companies and that they feel the project will be economically viable. Bremer noted Page 11 of the resolution contains a specific amount for the park dedication fees. Curtis stated they can insert language in the resolution to the effect that the amount will be determined. Mattick stated if the Council is comfortable waiving the fee on the memory care units, the amount can be reduced by $65,000. Bremer asked whether Staff would like to look at that issue any further. Curtis indicated if Council finds the waiver appropriate, Staff does not feel it would be necessary to review that issue further. Bremer moved, Murphy seconded, to adopt RESOLUTION NO. 5948, a Resolution Approving the General Concept Plan for property located at 875 Wayzata Boulevard West, with Page 4 and Page 8, Item 4C(1) being amended to reflect 24 feet for the width of the driveway rather than 28 feet, and Pages 10 and 11 being amended to reflect park dedication fees in the amount of $113,700.

AMENDMENT TO CITY CODE CHAPTER 46: FIRE PROTECTION AND PREVENTION – ORDINANCE NO. 76, THIRD SERIES Curtis stated Section 46-57 of the Orono Municipal Code, in certain zoning districts, allows fuel storage tanks to be constructed or installed as close as 30 feet to the lakes, wetlands, streams or drainage ways. This is in conflict with other sections of the code that require a 75-foot setback for structures and hardcover from lakes, wetlands, streams or drainage ways.
