MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br />Monday, August 9, 2010 <br />7:00 o’clock p.m. <br />_____________________________________________________________________________________ <br /> <br /> Page 2 of 17 <br /> <br />(LMCD REPORT, Continued) <br /> <br />along the lake to check their boats when they are docked for the winter. McDermott indicated the winter <br />freeze will kill off any zebra mussels that are located above the freeze line. The DNR feels the zebra <br />mussels have been in the lake for a couple of years now. <br />The LMCD also met to discuss the Carlson development in Minnetrista. This development has the <br />potential to create 150 new boat slips on the lake. The LMCD was given a boat tour along the lakeshore <br />of the proposed development. <br /> <br />Murphy commented the situation is almost overwhelming in that the City and the LMCD will need to ask <br />the boat owners to change their behavior and that the zebra mussels can create other problems, such as <br />plugging up people’s inlets and irritation systems. <br /> <br />McDermott noted hot water is required to sterilize the boats. <br /> <br />Murphy noted there are links to the DNR web site available on the Orono web site. <br /> <br /> <br />PLANNING COMMISSION COMMENTS – JON SCHWINGLER, REPRESENTATIVE <br /> <br />Jon Schwingler stated he had nothing to report but would be available for questions. <br /> <br /> <br />PUBLIC COMMENTS <br /> <br />None <br /> <br /> <br />PLANNING DEPARTMENT REPORT <br /> <br />4. #10-3470 PAMELA WILSON, 3508 IVY PLACE – RIGHT-OF-WAY VACATION <br /> <br />This item was removed from the agenda at the request of the applicant. <br /> <br />5. #10-3471 TERRY SCHNEIDER ON BEHALF OF WOODHILL SENIOR COTTAGES <br />OF NAVARRE, 2525 & 2545 SHADYWOOD ROAD – CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT/SITE <br />PLAN/PRELIMINARY PLAT/VACATION OF EASEMENTS <br /> <br />Terry Schneider, Applicant, was present. <br /> <br />Schneider stated they appeared before the Planning Commission last month, and based on the recent <br />Supreme Court ruling, they have elected to revise their plans to eliminate the side setback variance. The <br />building has also been relocated slightly to stay out of the wetland buffer. The wetland delineation report <br />has been updated and the plat has been redesigned accordingly. <br /> <br />The general use of the facility is designated as a memory care facility, which is different from assisted <br />living or senior living, and will serve as a transition from the residential area to the higher density areas. <br />Item #02 - CC Agenda - 08/09/2010 <br />Approval of Council Minutes 08/09/2010 [Page 2 of 17]
