. MINUTES OF TAE ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING Monday, July 10, 2006 7:00 o'clock p.m. • (RYAN COMPANIES, CONTINUED) Murphy inquired what the plan is for the building housing the mailing business and the upholstery business. Nordland stated the mailing operation is no longer there and the upholstery shop's lease runs until spring, 2007. At the time ABC vacates its space in that building, renovation of the building would be completed. Nordland stated the final building would be constructed in 2010, with the current access off of Wayzata Boulevard being moved to straddle the property line and shared with the adjoining property. Nordland stated it would be difficult to operate the building prior to the road being built if the access were restricted immediately. Murphy inquired whether the lease also includes the boat storage on the back portion of the lot. McJilton stated she would need to check the lease. Nordland indicated they would obtain that information prior to the next meeting. Murphy stated they might not be able to do anything with the access until the highway project is completed. Nordland stated Ryan is requesting a sketch plan review and will be appearing before the Planning • Commission in July and the City Council in August. Nordland stated the plan is consistent with Orono's Comprehensive Plan and the newly adopted Industrial Ordinance. Nordland stated a variance is being requested to allow for a 50 -foot right -of -way and a conditional use permit for the building materials for the larger building in the back. Nordland indicated the conditional use permit will fully comply with the requirements of the ordinance and would allow the Ryan Companies to utilize the same features, textures and colors that are used in the front two buildings. Nordland indicated the proposed materials are depicted on the boards. Nordland stated the back building cannot economically support more brick and that the existing facility will never be as nice as the newer buildings. Sansevere inquired whether the existing building would harmonize with the rest of the buildings. McJilton displayed the materials that would be used on the two smaller buildings and the scheme for painting the existing building. McMillan inquired whether more detail would be utilized on the south building located on Old Crystal Bay Road. Nordland stated they do have elevations of each building. PAGE 20
