. �� <br /> MINUTES OF THE , . � <br /> � ORONO PLANNTNG COMMISSION " <br /> Tuesday,February 20,2007 <br /> � 6:00 o'clock p.m. <br /> 4. #07-3250 PHILIP CARLSON,2060 WAYZATA BOULEVARD WEST,PUD, <br /> COMMERCIAL SITE PLAN,SUBDIVISION,6:06—6:31 P.M. <br /> Gina Carlson,Applicant, and Jeff Shopek,Loucks &Associates,were present. <br /> Gaffron stated the applicant is requesting the following in order to construct ten units of office condos <br /> on five lots and one common lot,to be lmown as Amber Woods Office Centre: <br /> 1. B-6 PUD General Concept Plan approval; . <br /> 2. Preliminary Plat approval in order to create five unit lots and one common lot; � � ' <br /> 3. Commercial site plan approval in order to obtain building permits; <br /> 4. Easement vacations in conjunction with dedication of new easements. <br /> This application was reviewed at the January Planning Commission meeting, with the applicants being <br /> directed to do the following: � • <br /> 1: Redesign the access layout to enable it to be functional for all potential turning movements. <br /> 2. .. Dumpster locations should be reconsidered to be more functional for all users. . � <br /> 3. Plantings are needed above the retaining walls abutting adjacent commercial site. <br /> 4. Retaining wall design submitted is only sufficient for the site rear walls,and for those walls it <br /> indicates excavation will be needed onto the adjacent property,which is unacceptable. <br /> Additional wall details are also needed for the other wall systems on the site. <br /> The new site plans and grading plans show the entrance driveway has been revised to incorporate <br /> standard turning movements while providing direct straight-through access to both of the adjacent <br /> properties. This is being accomplished by lowering the rear of the site by about one foot and the front <br /> of the site by about two feet and relocating lost parking stalls to the south end of the lot facing <br /> Highway 12. The parking remains at 102 stalls,meeting the 100-stall requirement. <br /> As a result of the access changes,the rear three buildings will be slightly lower at one-half foot and the <br /> most southerly building will be as much as two feet lower than the prior plan. The building designs <br /> have not changed;the buildings are merely dropped along with the finished grade. In addition, <br /> retaining walls along the southwest boundary of the site will be reduced in height or eliminated. <br /> Retaining walls along the north and east boundaries will be 1-2 feet higher than previously indicated. <br /> . An additional wall east of the most southerly building will be added, and the open faced facing the <br /> � senior housing building to the east will be more obscured. Building locations have shifted slightly in a <br /> few instances,but not more than a few feet and all meet required setbacks. <br /> PAGE 2 <br />
