MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br /> MONDAY,OCTOBER 15,2001 <br /> (#10)#01-2723 MARK BREWER,3800 SHORELINE DRIVE,COMMERCIAL SITE PLAN <br /> REVIEW,8:19 p.m.—8:41 p.m. <br /> Mark Brewer, Applicant,was present. <br /> The Certificate of Mailing and Affidavit of Publication were noted. <br /> Weinberger stated the Brewer Chiropractic Clinic in Mound has filed an application for a commercial <br /> site plan review to convert the existing non-conforming single family dwelling located at 3800 <br /> Shoreline Drive into a clinic. The property is located within the B-5 District,with clinics being a <br /> permitted use in this district. Weinberger noted no variances are required. <br /> Weinberger stated the building has undergone some extensive interior remodeling by Brewer as part <br /> of the conversion of the structure from a residential use to a clinic/office use. The remodeling has <br /> included making the building handicap accessible per ADA requirements. The City has issued <br /> permits for the interior remodeling,but the creation of a commercial parking lot has triggered the <br /> need for a commercial site plan review. The proposed parking lot was partially installed prior to the <br /> issuance of permits, and work was stopped by the building inspector pending approval of this <br /> commercial site plan review. <br /> Weinberger stated the site plan does meet all the requirements of the B-5 Zoning District, with the <br /> proposed use being an excellent fit for the B-5 District. The primary issues with the site is the ability <br /> to adequately direct runoff without curb and gutter and the proposed location and direction of the <br /> drainage outlet. The City Engineer and Staff are recommending that the parking lot be provided with <br /> concrete curb and gutter to provide positive runoff control and that the runoff be directed to the <br /> northwest toward the planning Hennepin County stormwater pond rather than eastward toward the <br /> future City park site. Weinberger stated the Applicant is proposing to provide eight parking stalls, <br /> which meets the minimum requirement. The Applicant has also been in contact with the Minnehaha <br /> Creek Watershed District,with the MCWD issuing a permit for the proposed plan. <br /> Staff recommends approval of the application subject to the following conditions: <br /> 1. The final design of the parking lot must meet the requirements as specified by the City Engineer, <br /> including the installation of curb and gutter to positively direct runoff to its intended end location, <br /> avoiding ptential negative impacts to adjacent properties. <br /> 2. The final stormwater management and drainage plans, including a drainage area map and <br /> calculations,must be submitted for review and approval by the City Engineer, and the final <br /> stormwater plan must be confirmed as acceptable to the MCWD. <br /> 3. All other comments noted by the City Engineer, in the letters dated September 27,2001, and <br /> October 10, 2001,must be satisfied. <br /> Brewer stated he is agreeable to directing the water in the direction recommended by Staff,but <br /> indicated he was unaware of the City's requirement for curb and gutter. Brewer stated due to <br /> financial concerns, he would like to delay installation of curb and gutter. Brewer indicated to install <br /> curb and gutter would cost between $10,000 and$12,000. <br /> PAGE 16 <br />
