MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING Monday,August 18,2008 6:00 o'clock p.m. (Planning Commission Report,Continued) Gaffron stated during the public comment portion of the City Council meeting,Mr.Ried addressed the City Council regarding the house on Baldur Park being constructed by Vogstrom and how it is located approximately two feet in front of his house. Ried stated he remembers the conversation being that the Vogstrom house would be even with his house. Gaffron sta.ted based on his review of the minutes and Staff's notes,the actual conversation was that the house would be relocated further back but not even with his house. Gaffron indicated Staff and the City Council do not feel the location of the house will have a negative impact on Mr.Ried's views of the lake and that the City is about to issue a building permit allowing Mr.Vogstrom to construct the house as proposed. Turner stated the survey shows the house being located behind the average lakeshore setback. Kempf noted the survey ordinance was also discussed by the Council at the August 11`�'meeting and that it was the feeling of Council Member Rahn that the ordinance appeared to say that three separate surveys would be required in every situation,which is not the case. Based upon the comments of Council Member Rahn,the City Council requested that the language be revised. Kempf stated Council Member Murphy reported that Mn/DOT is still opposed to the roundabout and that it is unlikely the City will continue to pursue it. The Dakota Trail is also experiencing good use. 8. OTHER ISSUES FOR DISCUSSION None 9.
