MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PLANI�IING COMMISSION <br /> Monday,July 17,2006 <br /> 6:00 o'clock p.m. <br /> (#06-3208 Ryan Companies,Continued) <br /> Turner stated the driveway access from Old Crystal Bay Road would be provided with a left turn lane, <br /> with this lane continuing south to serve the new street. <br /> Council expressed concerns regarding the drainage on this site as well as the other sites within the <br /> industrial district. The City Engineer is currently reviewing the drainage study and should be completed <br /> with the study prior to the next council meeting. The applicant feels there will be no additional drainage � <br /> onto Morrie's Automotive property. <br /> The applicant is also agreeable to providing more screening along new Highway 12 and low berms and <br /> shrubbery along Old Crystal Bay Road to screen the parking lot. While the applicant is not opposed to <br /> providing additional lar�dscaping along Wayzata Boulevard,they have expressed concems about possibly <br /> having to replace it when the driveway is relocated and the parking area expanded. <br /> Turner stated there is information contained within Staff's report on the phasing of the project. <br /> Turner stated the other issue remaining is that the applicants have requested to revise the conditional use <br /> permit for outdoor storage associated with the metal building to reflect the new legal description. The <br /> location for the outside storage will not change and therefore the conditional use permit does not need to <br /> be revised and Staff requests that that portion of the application be withdrawn until it is closer to the time <br />� that the outdoor storage will be relocated. <br /> Bremer inquired whether the Park Commission has reviewed this application. <br /> Gaffron stated the Park Commission would be reviewing this item at some point. <br /> Planning Staff recommends approval of the preliminary plat,the site plan, and the conditional use pernut <br /> for building materials with conditions. Staff recommends withdrawal of the conditional use permit <br /> � revision. <br /> Nordland inquired whether the Planning Commission would like an overview of the project again. <br /> Bremer stated if the applicant would like to give an overview for the audience,that would be fine,but <br /> requested that the applicant address the 50-foot right-of-way first. <br /> Nordland stated this is approximately an 18-acre site,with an existing 96,000 square foot block building <br /> and a single-family residence that has been converted into an o�ce. Nordland stated Ryan Companies <br /> propose to purchase the site this summer and to renovate the existing building in order to hannonize with <br /> the new buildings by next spring,with some work commencing this fall. The next phase of the project <br /> � will be construction of either the corner office/warehouse building of 40,000 square feet or the back <br /> building of 63,000 square feet. The public right-of-way will cross the property from the west to the east <br /> and will eventually connect through the eastern neighboring property and head back up to Highway 12. <br /> PAGE 8 <br />
