MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br />0 HELD MAY 18, 1992 <br />ROLL <br />The Orono Planning Commission met on the above date with the <br />following members present: Planning Commission Acting Chair Ed <br />Cohen, Jeff Johnson, Candace Rowlette and Stephen Peterson. The <br />following were absent: Charlie Kelley, Maureen Bellows, and <br />Charles Schroeder. The following represented the City Staff: <br />Building and Zoning Administrator Jeanne Mabusth and City Recorder <br />Teri Naab. Chair Cohen called the meeting to order at 7:00 p.m. <br />( #1) #1732 JOAN SWEETSER, <br />845 OLD LONG LAKE ROAD - <br />PRELIMINARY SUBDIVISION - PUBLIC HEARING 7:00 - 7:10 P.M. <br />The Affidavit of Publication and Certificate of Mailing were noted. <br />Joan Sweetser was present. <br />Mabusth explained that this is a two lot subdivision. In 1987, <br />this was proposed as a three lot subdivision, which received <br />preliminary subdivision approval but was never finalized. The <br />outlot location was approved by the City for a private road. <br />Additional surveying work will be required to locate the designated <br />41 wetland within the subdivision. The former guest house is no <br />longer inhabited and the City will ask for appropriate abandonment <br />of the septic system and the well pit. State well records confirm <br />that the well has been abandoned and grouted. Access to Lot 2 will <br />be via the dry buildable corridor where the original road outiot <br />was located and approved by the City. <br />Cohen asked if the guest house should be razed. <br />Mabusth said that it still can be used as an accessory structure. <br />The square footage of the structure is 718 s.f., so it easily <br />satisfies the required setback of 10'. The approval resolution <br />should specify the approved use of the structure. <br />Al Bronte, 925 West Wayzata Boulevard, asked how far it goes into <br />Highway 12. <br />Mabusth showed him the plat map and the location of the property <br />noting the property does not extend to Highway 12. <br />Sweetser asked if it is necessary to abandon the septic system and <br />well pit as it has never been a problem in the past. <br />Mabusth noted this issue would have to be brought before the <br />Council for comment as improvements are required by State law. <br />• <br />
