The Army Corps of Engineers is now doing another environment assessment <br />report and they have labeled a stream on their property. <br /> <br />Gaffron stated he is only briefly aware of the situation and requested something in writing from Ms. <br />Seeland so Staff can respond to the concerns. <br /> <br />Seeland indicated she will be meeting with Jeff Johnson, Hennepin County Commissioner, regarding <br />falsified natural resource information on her property, which has happened more than once. In 1995 it <br />was not on the radar when they started the greenway corridor or the City’s functional assessment. <br />MLCCS has determined that it is a Manage I wetland prairie, which is not possible. Seeland stated she <br />feels the situation is out of control due to the number of agencies that are involved. For ten years it was <br />labeled as native prairie. In 1997 it was placed on the greenway map. <br /> <br />Seeland requested those items be changed. Seeland stated she does not feel the government has the right <br />to bombard individual property owners with all of this paperwork and regulations. <br /> <br />White requested that Ms. Seeland’s concerns be put in writing and submitted to Staff so they can review <br />the situation. <br /> <br />Seeland commented she is not included in the Metropolitan’s future sewer area, which is also an issue. <br /> <br /> <br />PLANNING DEPARTMENT REPORT <br /> <br />*5. #10-3473 CITY OF ORONO – AMEND CONDITIONAL USES WITHIN RPUD <br />DISTRICT – ASSISTED LIVING – ORDINANCE NO. 75, THIRD SERIES <br /> <br />McMillan moved, Murphy seconded, to adopt ORDINANCE NO. 75, Third Series, An Ordinance <br />Amending Chapter 78 of the Orono Municipal Code by Amending Sections 78-1 and 78-624 to add <br />“Assisted Living Facilities” as an Allowed Conditional Use in the RPUD Zoning District.
