MINUTES OF THE ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING Monday, September 10, 2007 7:00 o'clock p.m. • ( #07 -3293 George Stickney, 1500 Bracketts Point Road, Continued) McMillan noted this is a large peninsula and that the hardcover could be reduced further. Stickney stated the bluff would be preserved and that they are not creating a hardship to the land by having the additional two percent of hardcover. Stickney noted 1000 square feet of the property is unuseable. Rahn stated it was his understanding that the Council had indicated at a previous meeting that they were not in favor of a hardcover variance. Murphy inquired what the structural coverage is on the lot: Gaffron noted the lot is over two acres so the structural coverage is irrelevant. Gaffron stated the structural coverage would be approximately 10 percent. Murphy suggested the applicant consider tabling the application and reducing the hardcover by two percent. Stickney requested the Council vote on his application tonight. Bremer moved, McMillan seconded, to deny Application #07 -3293, George Stickney on behalf of Bruce Paddock, 1500 Bracketts Point Road. VOTE: Ayes 4, Nays 1, Murphy Opposed. • 11. #07 -3298 875 WBW, LLC, 875 WAYZATA BOULEVARD WEST — GENERAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN AND FINAL PLAT, RPUD REZONING, CMP AMENDMENT, DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT — FINAL DOCUMENTS REVIEW David Carlson, WBW, LLC, and Steve Johnston, Landform, were present. Gaffron stated this application is before the Council tonight to review the draft approval documents and to discuss with Staff and the applicant any remaining issues or topics that should be addressed. Because all items required for final plat approval have not been completed as of this writing, Staff recommends tabling the application. Gaffron noted they are waiting for approval from the City of Wayzata for the utility lines and services and Mn/DOT approvals. The applicants are working toward completion of the required submittals for general development plan approval and final plat approval. The application also requires a rezoning ordinance as well as adoption of the comp plan amendment approved by Metropolitan Council in May 2007. The applicants' attorney has provided draft easement and covenant documents and the applicant has provided three sets of revised plans in response to City Engineer's comments, DNR comments and MnDOT comments. Gaffron indicated the items that are outstanding are minor but that staff recommends tabling the application to allow completion of the punch list items and that it is likely this item would be on the Consent Agenda at the next council meeting. • PAGE 12
