MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br /> Monday,April 18, 2016 <br /> 6:30 o'clock p.m. <br /> Gaffron stated if the existing house remains, then the average setback line for either Lot 1 or Lot 2 would <br /> be drawn from a point on the existing house to the new house on Lot 1 or 2. lf they are going to reinove <br /> that house, the setback would be drawn from a different point. If the house is removed,potentially all <br /> three homes could be built lakeward of the average lakeshore setback. At that point you would need to <br /> look at the impacts on the views by the adjacent properties. Gaffron stated if the Planning Commission is <br /> comfortable with the homes being at the 75-foot line and the Commission does not have any concerns <br /> about the neighbors' views,then that could be the line and it could be made a condition of the <br /> subdivision. <br /> Leskinen stated for a subdivision like this, she is inclined to establish something independent from the <br /> other averagelakeshore setback. <br /> Kevin Anderson,Applicant, stated he appreciates the input and that he likes the other possible layouts <br /> drawn by Staf£ Anderson asked what the Planning Cominission would recommend for a driveway <br /> layout. <br /> Thiesse indicated he likes the shorter cul-de-sac as depicted in Option A. <br /> Leskinen noted Option A would also provide some flexibility for Lot 1. <br /> Anderson stated in his view it would also not impact the adjoining lot. <br /> Thiesse asked whether the City would be responsible for stormwater treatment if it is a private street. <br /> Gaffron indicated it would likely be located on one of the properties and there would likely be an <br /> easement over it. Gaffron stated it is likely the City will have to maintain any stormwater system in this <br /> area since it is unlikely there will be a homeowners association unless it is a private road. In that case,the <br /> Ciry would put the onus for maintenance of the stormwater system on the homeowners association. <br /> Thiesse asked if that would impact the dry buildable area. <br /> Gaffron noted there is 1.4 acres for Lot 1 and just one acre each for Lots 2 and 3 so that it could <br /> potentially impact the dry buildable area. Gaffron noted the applicant would gain a little bit of dry <br /> buildable acreage if the cul-de-sac is inoved back. Gaffron stated the Minnehaha Creek Watershed <br /> District could also require a rain garden on each of the lots since it could be difficult to divert the <br /> rainwater from one of the lots to a pond on another lot. <br /> Thiesse stated if the City would allow the applicant to lift the cul-de-sac by around two feet to help with <br /> the runoff and eliminate the pond in the middle of one of the lots. <br /> Gaffron indicated that is a possibility. <br /> Schoenzeit asked if the lift station also serves properties from the other direction. <br /> Gaffron indicated it serves approximately eight or ten homes to the north. Gaffron stated it is]ikely the <br /> gravity line serves the Windjammer area. <br /> Lemke stated he would like to see that fake easement formalized. <br /> Page 7 of 32 <br />
