MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br /> Monday, November 18, 2002 <br /> 6:30 o'clock p.m. <br /> (#9) #02-2854 KEVIN MANLEY, 1973 FAGERNESS POINT ROAD, Continued <br /> Chair Smith asked if the applicant had shared these concerns with staff. <br /> Manley stated that he had absolutely shared his concerns and had received a return call <br /> finally after approximately ten attempts. He suggested they go down the unresolved list <br /> one by one. <br /> First, the shed, Manley stated that he would remove the shed only after the City agrees to <br /> give him some sort of resolution. While he understood that he had been asked to remove <br /> it several months ago, he maintained that he had asked the City to do many things six <br /> months ago. <br /> With regard to the gravel parking area, Manley reiterated that the parking area was not <br /> new, it had always been there. All of the neighbors have and use parking areas across the <br /> road and theirs may have been overgrown. Again, Manley stated that the City Council <br /> and Weinberger had given him the indication that they would approve his parking area <br /> once it was put in his name. <br /> Having been before the Commission in February asking for additional hardcover, Rahn <br /> asked the applicant whether the parking area was included in any of the hardcover <br /> calculations. Since the hardcover figures had been looked at in such detail in order to <br /> allow construction of the deck, he wondered where this additional hardcover had come <br /> from. <br /> Manley stated that the parking area had not been used in any hardcover calculations in <br /> February since it was not in his name at that time. <br /> Rahn asked if he had built the shed on the property, even though it was not his. <br /> Manley indicated he had done so. <br /> Janet Manley stated that no one owns the property and they are in the process, as is one <br /> other neighbor, of claiming it through the state. <br /> Gaffron indicated that property owners can take action to lay claim to property, then it <br /> goes through a process where people can respond to their claim, and the Hennepin <br /> County courts decide who owns it. <br /> Manley stated that the property claim process was not part of the proposal. Manley <br /> maintained that the only reason they were before the City today was because they had the <br /> PAGE 21 of 29 <br />
