MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br />Monday, August 26, 2002 <br />7:00 o'clock p.m. <br />( #02 -2782 ORONO PROFESSIONAL PROPERTIES, Continued) <br />Nygard stated that the City needs to find out what type of wetland they are dealing with and <br />whether there will be required mitigation. <br />Gaffron reiterated that, although the proposed plan is superior to the original, there may be a <br />wetland and it needs to be determined if mitigation will be necessary. <br />White asked what the developer timeline was versus the delineation timeline. <br />Gaffron indicated that the delineation would merely take one to two weeks. <br />Mayor Peterson stated that the Council concurs that this new plan provides a good solution to the <br />earlier concerns. <br />Murphy stated that he was ecstatic with the new plan and thanked the applicants for sticking with <br />the City and following through on this lengthy process. <br />Gaffron indicated that while the cross - easements can be granted, the applicants need to • <br />understand the impact this will have on parking for the second parcel. <br />Dr. Berg stated that the building next door would likely be a two -story building with an <br />approximate 10,000 - 12,000 s.f. footprint set parallel to Highwayl2. He maintained that with an <br />additional cut, the flow of traffic would be improved for both sites, and he did not view parking <br />as an issue in the future. <br />Murphy questioned the timing for the trail proposed for the south end. <br />Mayor Peterson stated that she would concur with the Planning Commission and support holding <br />off on trail construction until MnDOT and Hennepin County make decisions. <br />Murphy moved, White seconded, to accept Application #02 -2782 Professional Properties of <br />Orono, Revised Concept Plan subject to the Planning Commission <br />recommendations /conditions. VOTE: Ayes 5, Nays 0. <br />Gaffron asked for clarification that the motion included that the City Council found cross - <br />easements acceptable and staff should proceed with the wetland delineation.
