MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br />Monday, April 9, 2007 • <br />7:00 o'clock p.m. <br />(S. #06 -3199 MINNETONKA CENTER FOR ARTS, 2240 NORTH SHORE DRIVE, Continiced) <br />Heaton stated the main reason for constructing the shed is to give the center some options for firing and <br />that they would like to install the new soda kiln in the next six months. Heaton stated the chimney <br />would be added at the same time the structure is constructed for ease of construction rather than try to <br />retrofit the chimney afterwards. <br />Murphy suggested the City restrict firing of the wood kiln until the City has the opportunity to examine <br />the stove. <br />White stated it would be useful to be provided the manufacturer's specifications on the scrubber being <br />installed. <br />Heaton stated the afterburner would not be added until the wood stove is added, which is not expected <br />to be installed for the next couple of years. <br />McMillan inquired how Kaley feels about this application. <br />Kaley indicated she is not concerned about the structure itself but more the emissions and the height of <br />the stack. <br />White stated it is his understanding the stack could be increased or decreased. <br />McMillan stated she would like to see the manufacturer's specifications on the afterburner as well. <br />• <br />e <br />Rahn moved, McMillan seconded, to adopt RESOLUTION NO. 5599, a Resolution granting a <br />variance and conditional use permit for the Minnetonka Center for Arts, 2240 North Shore Drive, <br />subject to the specifications for the afterburner and the scrubber being submitted prior to the <br />installation of the wood stove. <br />Curtis inquired whether the City Council would be requiring a conditional use permit review at the time <br />the wood stove is installed. <br />City Attorney Mattick suggested the City Council require that Staff review the specifications. <br />Rahn suggested that Staff determine whether a permit is required for the kiln based on the review of the <br />specifications. <br />Heaton stated the afterburner being proposed is the same unit that is being used at the University of <br />Minnesota and that the wood stove is also the same size and that they could perhaps obtain the <br />specifications from them. <br />White requested Staff review the specifications and determine whether a permit is required and to share <br />the specifications and results of the review with Ms. Kaley. <br />VOTE: Ayes 5, Nays 0. • <br />PAGE 4 of 22 <br />
