MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PLANIVING CONIlVIISSION MEETING <br /> Monday,Apri119,2010 <br /> 6:30 o'clock p.m. <br /> (#10-3458 JUDSON DAYTON,825 OLD CRYSTAL BAY ROAD, CONTINUED) <br /> There were no public comments regarding this application. <br /> Chair Kang closed the public hearing at 7:14 p.m. <br /> Winer noted this was initially approved back in 2007 for four lots and that the applicant is now proposing three <br /> lots. Winer commented she does not see any major changes from the 2007 plan and the current plan other than <br /> reducing the number of lots. <br /> Schoenzeit asked what Staff's thoughts are regarding the sewer. <br /> Gaffron stated the City's Comprehensive Plan does allow for development of this property with private septic <br /> systems even though it is within MUSA. There is no plan to serve this property at this time with municipal <br /> sewer as long as they can show they have the appropriate septic sites. The City has no plans at this time to <br /> require the applicant to hook up to city sewer. <br /> Winer noted there is a 10-foot drainage and utility easement required. <br /> Curtis stated there is also a requirement for a 5-foot internal easement in addition to the 10-foot utility <br /> easement. These are standard easement requests. <br /> Schoenzeit commented the lots consist of a number of acres and there appears to be ample septic sites <br /> available. <br /> Winer asked about the wetlands and whether those would remain. <br /> Curtis stated there are five wetlands on the property as a whole. The wetland delineations will need to be <br /> approved by the Minnehaha Watershed District. Easements would be required over the wetland and buffer <br /> areas. <br /> Kang asked about the advantages and disadvantages of a perpetual variance. <br /> Curtis stated she does not see any disadvantages to it for this property since this property is similar to a <br /> peninsula where you are always going to be ahead of the average lakeshore setback. The perpetual variance <br /> would establish an average lakeshore setback for each of the lots. Curtis indicated she is unable to think of <br /> any negatives with this type of perpetual variance being granted. Curtis stated an average lakeshore setback is <br /> more of a unique situation than a hardcover variance and is intended to protect the views of the neighboring <br /> property. <br /> Feuss stated as best as she can tell,Lot 1 is at a higher elevation. <br /> Curtis indicated Lot 1 is at a higher elevation and illustrated the property that would define the average <br /> lakeshore setback for this development. <br /> Winer asked where the trail would be located. <br /> Curtis stated Staff is requesting that the trail overlap what the City is requiring for drainage and utility <br /> easements. <br /> Page 8 <br />
