MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION <br /> Monday,November 20,2006 <br /> 6:00 o'clock p.m. <br /> (#06-3249 CITY OF ORONO—STONEBAY, CONTINUED) <br /> Bremer stated in her opinion there was good public notice given but that she would be willing to table the <br /> application based on the comments of Steve Johnston. <br /> Gaffron inquired whether the distance of the people being notified should be increased. Gaffron stated <br /> the City requires a 350-foot notification. <br /> Bremer stated she does not lmow if that was not sufficient in this case,but would not be opposed to <br /> sending out public notice to a wider area given the density. <br /> Gaffron stated all the legal notices are handed to the police department and they are supposed to be posted <br /> at the same time that the notices are sent out. Gaffron stated legal notice is posted at the Long Lake Post <br /> Office. Gaffron indicated he would ask the police department whether the notices are getting posted. <br /> Bremer inquired whether there is also notice given in the newspaper. <br /> Gaffron stated there is also notice given in the newspaper. <br /> Kempf stated he is not opposed to tabling the application and that he is not opposed to some type of retail <br /> on this site. <br /> Kroeger stated this is a city-wide issue and suggested the local papers write an article concerning the <br /> subject. Kroeger stated this application involves a major decision of the City concerning that area and <br /> that it would be beneficial to have as many people provide input as possible. <br /> Kempf asked whether a PUD would require further restrictions of the B-6 District. <br /> Gaffron stated with a planned unit development process the City has some flexibility in working with the <br /> developer on the various issues as well as density. Gaffron stated the Stonebay development was a <br /> planned unit development. State statutes require that there be some consistency between the City's <br /> zoning and the Comprehensive Plan and that the City Attorney has recommended the area be zoned as <br /> close as possible to the type of district that it is guided for in the Comprehensive Plan. <br /> Johnston noted a PUD requires a four-fifths vote,which gives the City even more control over the <br /> development. <br /> Gaffron stated a list of uses or other parameters could be included in the Commissioners' packets if they <br /> would find that helpful. � <br /> Bremer requested as much guidance be provided as possible. <br /> Rahn moved,Kroeger seconded,to table Application#06-3249, City of Orono, Outlot A, <br /> Stonebay,Comprehensive Plan Amendment until the January Planning Commission meeting. <br /> VOTE: Ayes 4,Nays 0. <br /> PAGE 31 <br />
