MINUTES OF THE ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING Monday, April 25, 2011 7:00 o'clock p.m. _____________________________________________________________________________________ Page 14 of 25 (6. #09-3411 DAVID FOX, 1095 FERNDALE ROAD WEST, Continued) McMillan commented she has a concern with granting the extension and setting a precedent. McMillan commented the last thing she wants to do is not grant an extension for a variance given how difficult it is to grant a variance now following the Supreme Court decision. McMillan noted the request is six months past the expiration date. Bremer noted the extension would only be good for six months. Rahn moved, Printup seconded, to adopt RESOLUTION NO. 6038, a Resolution Granting an Extension of the Variances for a Conditional Use Permit Established Per Resolution No. 5872, for the property located at 1095 Ferndale Road West. VOTE: Ayes 4, Nays 1, McMillan Opposed. *7. #10-3458 JUDSON DAYTON, 825 OLD CRYSTAL BAY ROAD SOUTH - PRELIMINARY PLAT - EXTENSION - RESOLUTION NO. 6039 Bremer moved, Rahn seconded, to adopt RESOLUTION NO. 6039, a Resolution Granting a One- Year Extension to the Effective Period of Preliminary Plat Approval Established Per Resolution No. 5935, for the property located at 825 Old Crystal Bay Road South. VOTE: Ayes 5, Nays 0. 8. #11-3502 PUBLIC HEARING - VOLUNTEERS OF AMERICA NATIONAL SERVICES AKA VOA ORONO WOODS SENIOR LIVING, 2040 WAYZATA BOULEVARD WEST - AMEND PUD NO. 2B AGREEMENT REGARDING SIGNAGE Curtis stated in January of 2011 the Volunteers of America made an application to re-face existing signage and install a new ground sign along Wayzata Boulevard and a new wall sign under the tower clock at the Orono Woods Senior Living property. In 2001, the property was rezoned from RR-1B to RPUD and a 62-unit senior living facility was constructed. The signage allowed for the site is governed by the PUD agreement and includes a monument sign at each entrance, traffic control signs, but no wall signage was allowed. Only refacing of existing signage is permitted without amending the agreement. Staff therefore denied portions of VOA’s sign permit application regarding new signs and provided options to resolve their need for additional signage. In March, VOA made an application to amend the existing PUD No. 2B Agreement to allow one new ground/monument sign and install a sign on the building. This change in allowed signage is not a variance as the site is a PUD. VOA is requesting to reface the existing eastern (Brown Road) entrance monument sign, remove the existing western entrance monument sign, and replace it with a new, 48- square foot monument sign along Wayzata Boulevard, and install a 33-square foot wall sign under the clock. McMillan opened the public hearing at 9:25 p.m. Mark Raiche, Volunteers of America, stated he would be available to answer any questions of the Council or public. There were no other public comments regarding this application. Item #02 - CC Agenda - 05/09/2011 Approval of Council Minutes 04/25/2011 [Page 14 of 25]
