MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br /> Monday,July 16,2001 <br /> (#01-2696 ABC Supply Company,Inc.,Continued) <br /> Fritzler indicated that a police officer could ask an idling truck to move to the other side of the <br /> building to the Drop Ship parking lot if he was aware of the regulation. Most of the time,the truck <br /> driver would move his truck. If the truck driver refuses to move,the police could possibly issue a <br /> citation for violation of the noise ordinance. <br /> Stoddard felt that with a property the size of ABC's,there should be a way to address the parking <br /> issues. <br /> Hawn referred to the bituminous parking. Jeziorski confirmed that the employee parking would be <br /> bituminous. Gaffron referred to the parking setback issue and the possibility of a variance request. <br /> Jeziorski confirmed that there was a maximum of 12 employees which would require 12 employee <br /> parking spaces. Stoddard asked if there was a way to avoid a variance by getting the employee <br /> parking inside the gated area. Jeziorski replied that they are still working on the plans. Gaffron <br /> asked if there was any possibility of leasing more space to the south of the outside storage. Jeziorski <br /> stated they were looking at options for employee parking and fencing. <br /> Jeziorski addressed the flood light issue. He stated that it was only used for emergencies and would <br /> only be used during business house. Planning Commission members did not object to use for <br /> emergencies. <br /> Mabusth asked how many delivery trucks ABC has in the storage area. Jeziorski replied there are <br /> four trucks - one semi,two cranes,and one conveyor truck. He added that they were currently <br /> stocked at their maximum capacity because of the busy construction season. Inventory is greatly <br /> reduced from November to March. Employees are also reduced to 6 or 7 in the winter. <br /> Jeziorski stated that if the application were tabled, he could prepare a landscape plan with the berm <br /> and trees. Hawn requested that he also work on a parking plan without variances. <br /> Smith asked if the new Highway 12 plan would affect their business. Jeziorski replied that ABC was <br /> not a destination for that traffic since they work with contractors and deliver the product to job sites. <br /> Hawn moved, Lindquist seconded,to table Application#01-2692, ABC Supply Company, Inc., 2765 <br /> Wayzata Boulevard, requesting a conditional use permit to allow outside storage. <br /> Ayes 7,Nays 0. <br /> PLANNING COMMISSION COMMENTS <br /> (#9) REPORT OF PLANNING COMMISSION REPRESENTATIVES ATTENDING <br /> COUNCIL MEETINGS JUNE 25,2001 AND JULY 9,2001 <br /> Smith stated she attended the June 25`h Council meeting and commented that the Council reviewed <br /> the same issues as the Planning Commission regarding the BayWind Church application and came to <br /> the same conclusions as the Planning Commission. <br /> PAGE 18 <br />
