MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br /> Monday,June 19,2006 <br /> 6:00 o'clock p.m. <br /> (#06-3208 RYAN COMPANIES,CONTINUED) <br /> Helpka stated the price difference is not significant but that the quick brick is slightly cheaper. Helpka <br /> stated they like utilizing the Quik Brik because there is no cavity between the block and the brick as <br /> there is with actual brick and there is always the chance of moisture getting into this cavity. <br /> Rahn inquired what type of tenants the office/warehouse building would have. • <br /> McJilton stated the tenants would depend on the market and would consist of 10,000 to 20,000 square <br /> feet users. McJilton indicated they have seen some interest with the smaller warehouse units. <br /> Mark Nordland,Ryan Companies, stated the type of tenants they envision utilizing the smaller <br /> warehouse units would be a lab/tech/office type of use,which oftentimes needs a loading dock. <br /> Nordland indicated the loading dock could be shared between tenants. <br /> Helpka stated the idea is to make the buildings as flexible as possible. <br /> Rahn stated he is more interested in the traffic flow rather than the materials being proposed. Rahn <br /> commented the road appears to have a tight turning radius. <br /> Helpka stated the turning radii are functional. <br /> Nordland stated the majority of the trucks would be smaller than the largest semi-truck but that the site <br /> can accommodate large trucks. <br /> Jurgens stated in his opinion the turning radii are not large enough and that the large trucks would have <br /> problems with a right-in/right-out and that the turning radius should be increased. Jurgens stated he is <br /> unsure how they would be able to accommodate a right-in/right-out given the radius that is being <br /> proposed. <br /> McJilton stated they could take a second look at the design. <br /> Jurgens stated he would like to see the centerline of Wayzata Boulevard depicted on the plans. Jurgens <br /> indicated in his view an eastbound truck entering the site would have to cross the centerline <br /> McJilton stated it is her understanding it would become a right-in/right-out sometime in the future and <br /> that what is reflected on their plans is what exists today. <br /> Jurgens inquired when that would change. <br /> Gaffron stated that change potentially is five years away,with the new highway not anticipated to be <br /> open unti12008 or 2009. Gaffron stated preliminary plans show that the section between Willow Drive <br /> and Old Crystal Bay will have a median,with the only opening at the new street along the east side of <br /> Morrie's Automotive property. Gaffron stated they have recommended that to provide westbound <br /> PAGE 16 <br />
