'V , 0 ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING MONDAY, JUNE 12, 2000 4. #2557 Daniel and Judith McAthie,1449 Bay Ridge Road — Variance Review—Continued appropriate reasons for said action. Vote: Ayes 4, Nays 0. 5. #2567 Walfred Properties, 2380 Shadywood Road — Commercial Site Plan Review — Resolutions No. 4474 and 4475 Mayor Jabbour requested to dispense with the formal presentation, as the Council was familiar with the application. Flint stated that he did not want this item added to the Consent Agenda because he was concerned with the packet referring to plans that have not yet been received, the trash being located next to the sidewalk, and he wondered if the 9 parking spaces near the pond could be left out. Weinberger stated that staff had concerns with the trash receptacle location. Also, they received grading plans for the property, which indicated grading right up to 3 mature trees. Staff suggested they use a retaining wall instead of grading in order to avoid disturbing the root systems of the trees. He also stated they do not have the legal descriptions required to adopt a • rezoning ordinance at the meeting, which would require the property owners to grant an extension. Mr. Wally Klus stated they have done the legal descriptions and could get them in to staff right away. He stated he is eager to correct any issues and start work. Weinberger stated the property now known as Navarre Lane should be rezoned to B -5 to be consistent with the zoning of the remainder of the property. Mayor Jabbour asked if it could stay a residential zone since it is only being used for the retention pond. Barrett stated that would be acceptable, and the Council could take action on the resolutions regarding the application. Mr. Klus's architect stated they could move the trash receptacle and hide it in a nook in the retaining wall. Mr. Klus stated they intend to put in the 9 parking spaces that Flint had questioned as necessary. Flint moved, and Peterson seconded, to approve Resolution No. 4474 granting variances to Orono Municipal Zoning Code Sections 10.56 Subdivision 16(L), Conditional Use Permits per Section 10.03, Subdivisions 19 -21, and approving the issuance of a Building Permit to Walfred Properties for the property located at 2380 Shadywood Road per Municipal Zoning Code Section 10.44, Subdivision 2 to permit commercial development of the property with the condition that the applicant work with Staff to relocate the trash • receptacle away from the pedestrian access trail and save the mature trees identified in the northeast corner of the property.
