a MINUTES OF THE ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING Monday, January 24, 2005 7:00 o'clock p.m. • ZONING ADMINISTRATOR'S REPORT 3. #04 -3016 - WAYZATA DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT, 120 BROWN ROAD SOUTH, FINAL SUBDIVISION APPROVAL — RESOLUTION NO. 5279 Representative Henry Lazniarz was present. Gaffron explained that the City Council had reviewed various aspects of the final plat application at a previous meeting, including concerns voiced by neighboring property owners. The applicant has since revised plans responding to the comments by the City Engineer and the discussions among the Council and neighbors. Gaffron indicated that staff has reviewed the various legal documents with the applicant's attorney and is continuing to make minor revisions, to that end, staff would recommend approval of the Final Plat Approval Resolution, subject to satisfactory completion of all required submittals, plans, documents, payments, etc. prior to release of the plat and associated documents for filing. With regard to the Engineering Plans, Gaffron stated that the revisions were minor and could be worked out, if the City Council is comfortable with approving the plat subject to staff and City Engineer approval. In addition, staff has been advised by the applicant that the MCWD permits would be issued shortly. Although the applicant had proposed the road name to be `Creekside Trail', Gaffron explained that the police department has rejected this name, or any other name with `creekside' in it to avoid confusion with similarly named streets in Orono and Long Lake. Gaffron pointed out that `creek- something' would likely be decided upon at a later date. • Gaffron reiterated that staff recommended adoption of the resolution for Final Plat Approval of CREEKSIDE IN ORONO, subject to satisfactory completion of all required submittals, plans, documents, payments, etc. prior to release of the plat and associated documents for filing. Staff would also recommend that the Council authorize the Mayor, clerk and City staff to execute the Developers Agreement once it has been approved by the City Attorney and Planning Director. McMillan asked if staff was satisfied with the proposed conservation easement language. Gaffron stated that, once the language had been tweaked, staff was satisfied. Lazniarz made a minor correction on page 4 of the Resolution under the Lot 2 heading to reflect Lot 2. Sansevere moved, Mayor Peterson seconded, adopting RESOLUTION NO. 5279, a Resolution which grants Final Plat Approval of CREEKSIDE IN ORONO, subject to satisfactory completion of all required submittals, plans, documents, payments, etc. prior to release of the plat and associated documents for filing, and authorizes the Mayor, clerk and City staff to execute the Developers Agreement once it has been approved by the City Attorney and Planning Director for 120 Brown Road South. VOTE: Ayes 3, Nays 1, Murphy dissenting. Murphy commented that his concerns still exist that they are trying to `shoehorn' more into the space than should be allowed. Although he recognized Lazniarz for working closely with the City and neighbors to be within the codes and satisfy concerns, Murphy still felt the development was too much. U PAGE 2 of 6
