� i <br /> f �� � <br /> MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br /> Monday,June 21,2010 <br /> 6:30 o'clock p.m. � <br /> (#10-3472 WELSH SENIOR HOUSING,875 WAYZATA BOULEVARD WEST,CONTINUED) <br /> shield the building in the summer and that the low profile of the building will also help with the massing � <br /> of the building. <br /> Kang asked what exterior lighting is being proposed. <br /> Lubben stated there will be some pole fixtures in the parking lot and then some entrance lighting on the <br /> entrances and exits to the building and driveway. <br /> Kang opened the public hearing at 8:05 p.m. <br /> There were no public comments regarding this application. <br /> Kang closed the public hearing at 8:05 p.m. <br /> Feuss noted the Community Management Plan has a maximum structural coverage of 20,000 square feet <br /> and that Staff's reports states the site analysis of the proposal meets all of the requirements. Feuss asked <br /> how that is reconciled. <br /> Curtis stated the Comprehensive Plan Amendment in 2009 to allow for the 20,000 square footprint was <br /> based on the Orono Villas approval,which was a series of stand-alone townhomes. The 20,000 square <br /> feet was included in the amendment in an attempt to keep the massing small and that Staff used that as a <br /> guide. Staff feels the property is large enough to accommodate the proposed square footage. <br /> Gaffron noted there were nine units approved for that other project and that one of the items that supports <br /> this request is the configuration of the building,which reduces the profile from any direction. Gaffron <br /> stated in his view the building is low profile and meets the intent of what the City was attempting to reach <br /> with the square footage number. <br /> Schwingler asked about the rain garden. <br /> Curtis stated the applicant has provided information on the rain garden today and that there is a previous <br /> wetland delineation on file. The City Engineer did not have any issue with what was being proposed and <br /> that additional detailed information will be provided for the master plan application. <br /> Kang moved,Feuss seconded,to recommend approval of Application#10-3472,Welsh Senior <br /> Housing,875 Wayzata Boulevard West, Comprehensive Plan Amendment,RPUD Rezoning, <br /> Concept Plan Approval and Conditional Use Permit.
