MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION <br /> Monday,September 18,2006 <br /> 6:00 o'clock p.m. <br /> (#06-3227 Loren Butterfield and Brian McDonnell,Continued) <br /> Bremer recommended the applicant have someone inspect the lots to insure that there are two septic sites <br /> on each lot. <br /> Butterfield noted the older barn would be removed but the storage building would remain. <br /> Bremer stated it appears that both structures are over 2000 square feet,which may be an issue and require <br /> the removal of the structures. <br /> Jurgens stated he would not be opposed to granting a variance to preserve the old barn given its historical <br /> significance and to help preserve the rural character of Orono. <br /> Bremer inquired how structurally sound the old barn is. <br /> Butterfield stated it is structurally sound and has been maintained over the years. Butterfield noted that it <br /> does not have a concrete floor. <br /> Kempf stated in his view the two barn structures would probably be removed once plans are drawn up for <br /> a new house. <br /> Rahn stated removal of the barn structure would probably be up to the property owner. <br /> Bremer noted there would be an eight percent park dedication fee. <br /> Gaffron stated the eight percent is of the fair market value of the real estate and that there is a cap on the <br /> amount of park dedication fee that would need to be paid on a five-acre lot. <br /> Bremer noted the stormwater and drainage trunk fee is currently at$2,280 percent acre for the five-acre <br /> lot. Bremer stated there is a question on whether the fee should be based on the two new lots or the 30 <br /> acres involved in the proposal. Bremer stated she would be inclined to only apply those fees to the two <br /> new lots. <br /> Jurgens stated if additional lots are going to be created,the stormwater and drainage trunk fees would be <br /> paid at the time those lots are created. <br /> Bremer noted that a more detailed survey would need to be completed on the lots. <br /> Butterfield submitted a survey of the lots. Butterfield stated he also has received approval from the <br /> Minnehaha Creek Watershed District. <br /> Bremer inquired whether the applicant has the approval from the MCWD in writing. <br /> Butterfield stated he does not have it personally but would be able to submit it to the City. <br /> PAGE 7 <br />
