1 , <br /> MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br /> Tuesday,February 16,2010 <br /> 6:30 o'clock p.m. <br /> (10-3442 DIRK MILLER OF THE EMILY PROGRAM,2180 NORTH SHORE DRIVE,CONT.) <br /> biohazard waste. The Emily Program has admitted they will have outpatient visits,which will generate a <br /> lot of traffic because the excess vehicles will need to park in the driveway. LaQuey stated the program is <br /> not compatible with residential use and will negatively impact the local valuations. <br /> Curtis noted the applicants had stated at the last city council meeting that they will not have medical <br /> waste. <br /> LaQuey stated his concern related to biohazards and not hospital waste,which are two different things. <br /> Lorraine Kaley, 1395 Brown Road, stated she is unsure how the landscaping will be done. If the trees <br /> are preserved,traffic coming down Briar will not be able to see a vehicle bacicing out. <br /> Kaley stated as it relates to the parking,the minutes reflect a 100 foot setback and that a variance is being <br /> requested. <br /> Curtis noted the Hill School previously had a setback variance granted for a 50-foot setback. A setback <br /> of 100 feet is required for hospitals from all property lines. <br /> Kaley stated in the Planning Commission packet there are two comments regarding the 100 feet and that <br /> she is unsure what that is referring to. Kaley asked whether the applicant is requesting additional parking <br /> over the 16 parking stalls that are currently there. <br /> Schoenzeit stated the applicant is requesting a variance to the setback for the garage. <br /> Kaley asked if there would be on street parking. <br /> Curtis indicated to her lrnowledge there would not be on street parking. The applicant has identi�ed that <br /> the parlcing on the site would be adequate to serve their proposed business. <br /> Kaley noted the applicant has also stated they would be reducing the amount of traffic from what the <br /> school had. Kaley indicated she resides to the east of this property and that the school only had traffic for <br /> an hour in the morning and in the afternoon,with no traffic on the weekends and summers. Kaley asked <br /> how the traffic will be reduced. <br /> Curtis stated the comment in Staff's report referred to the typical heavy times of traffic during the day and <br /> that this facility will not generate bulk traffic but rather occasional vehicle traffic similar to a residential <br /> area. <br /> Kaley asked where the back lot line is located. <br /> Curtis illustrated the location of the back lot line on the overhead and noted the Minnetonka Art Center <br /> owns the properly to the rear of that. <br /> Kaley indicated she is still unclear about the landscaping. <br /> Page 4 <br />
