MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br /> Monday, Apri118,2016 <br /> 6:30 o'clock p.m. <br /> As it relates to how deep the stormwater ponds should be or what happens if they dig down and find some <br /> debris, Landgraver stated during this process there should be some review of those issues. <br /> Gaffron stated the Watershed District as well as the City Engineer will review all that. Gaffron stated in <br /> terms of how that relates to the underlying debris, there will need to be some type of review. <br /> Schoenzeit stated a pond that is designed to percolate should not be allowed to become a leach field and <br /> that there needs to be some maintenance of that pond. <br /> Campion stated due to the soils on the site, infiltration will not occur and that it is designed as a filtration <br /> pond. <br /> Landgraver moved, Thiesse seconded,Application No. 16-3822, Curt Fretham of Lakewest,LLC, <br /> 3245 Wayzata Boulevard West,to recommend approval of the Comprehensive Plan Amendment as <br /> outlined in Staffls report with the caveat that the City should identify alternate sites for higher <br /> density development.

Leskinen asked whether a determination should be <br /> made now on whether the road should be public or private. <br /> Gaffron indicated the City Council will need to make that final determination but that a recommendation <br /> from the Planning Commission would be helpful. <br /> Schoenzeit recommended the road be constructed to public road standards so it can be adopted at some <br /> point down the line if necessary. <br /> Thiesse commented he is not sure it can be constructed to those standards. <br /> Schoenzeit stated it can be built to public standards on the western side. <br /> Campion indicated those homes can be moved further west. Campion stated the setbacks would become <br /> an issue if the road is built to 32 feet with a full right-of-way. <br /> Thiesse commented he would hope the City would be flexible on the setbacks if they require the wider <br /> width. <br /> Gaffron stated if the County is okay with a second access,the Planning Commission is suggesting that <br /> that portion of the road be made wider. Gaffron stated if the corridor is made wider,that would push the <br /> homes to the west. <br /> Lemke stated if there is no secondary access,the layout would change quite a bit. <br /> Campion stated they could probably do some sort of T-turnaround if there is not a second access, which <br /> would meet the typical emergency vehicle turnarounds. <br /> Page 24 of 32 <br />
