MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PLANTTING COMIVIISSION � <br /> Monday,July 17,2006 <br /> 6:00 o'clock p.m. <br /> (#06-3208 Ryan Companies, Continued) <br /> Nordland stated it is for employees of the building and that there is limited parking for customers. <br /> Nordland stated there is a difference between the types of use of the different buildings and that there is a <br /> lesser demand for customer parking for some of the buildings. Nordland pointed out each tenant does not <br /> need straight-on conventional loading dock. For the back building,the loading court will not be striped <br /> because those tenants will need to provide access for the larger trucks. This building does not have the <br /> visibility from the roadway and will have a different type of tenant than the smaller buildings. <br /> Kroeger inquired why the parking could not be decreased to one row on the north side. � <br /> Nordland stated in order to comply with the city's requirement,they require the two rows of parking and <br /> that they would need to rethink their options regarding the parking if one row of parldng is eliminated. <br /> Bremer stated the Planning Commission should be mindful of why the City requires a 70-foot right-of- <br /> way. Bremer inquired whether the applicant would be able to accomplish what they would like to <br /> accomplish with a 60-foot right-of-way. <br /> Nordland stated they would be willing to mitigate the right-of-way issue somehow and that the parking at <br /> � the south end of the middle building could be turned into green space if they have the right to use that as <br /> proof of parking in the future. Nordland stated that would add a significant amount of green space at the <br /> entry into the industrial district. <br /> Bremer stated it sounds like the applicant is not able to provide a 60-foot right-of-way but that the extra <br /> green space would make it look like it is more than a 50-foot right-of-way for the short-term. <br /> Berg inquired whether the road is a dead end. <br /> Bremer stated it temporarily would be a dead end road. <br /> Gaffron stated the intent is that it continue eastward through Morrie's Automotive property and connect <br /> to Wayzata Boulevard along the east side of Morrie's Automotive. The exact configuration of the road <br /> has not yet been deternuned. Gaffron stated upon completion of the new highway,changes to access to <br /> Wayzata Boulevard would occur,but that at this time he is not sure what will occur. Gaffron indicated <br /> Morrie's Automotive is aware of the discussions and the implications of a 70-foot right-of-way. Gaffron <br /> indicated Morrie's Automotive would like to retain their parking and that they are questioning the need <br /> . for a 70-foot right-of-way. Gaffron stated it likely was not contemplated that a 70-foot right-of-way <br /> would be required at the time the Morrie's Automotive application was approved. <br /> Gaffron stated another issue is whether sidewalks should be required and whether they should be in the <br /> right-of-way. Gaffron indicated Kelley Parkway has a 60-foot right-of-way and a 42-foot road and <br /> because there is green space between the curb and the sidewalk,the sidewalks are located half on the <br /> right-of-way and half on private properiy. . <br /> PAGE 10 <br />
