MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br /> �, Monday,November 21,2011 <br /> 6:30 o'clock p.m. <br /> Landgraver asked where the rental trucks would be parked. <br /> Gozola stated his assumption is that the trucks would be parked in the area near the entrance or towards <br /> the back. <br /> Landgraver asked whether gaining access to the outdoor storage facility has been reviewed. <br /> Gozola stated the City Engineer was asked to review that item and did not raise any concerns. <br /> Landgraver asked where the building would be cut off. ' <br /> Gozola illustrated on the overhead the area of the building that would be removed. <br /> Thiesse asked whether there is any concern regarding the outside parking as a frontage on Industrial <br /> Boulevard. <br /> Gozola stated he does not envision any concern and they do meet all setback requirements. <br /> Thiesse asked whether it would become frontage on the front of the right-of-way. <br /> Curtis stated it would be considered a front yard. Curtis noted with a previous application one of the <br /> concerns was the vegetative screening of the outdoor storage area on the Industrial Boulevard side. Curtis <br /> asked whether the fencing in that area would be consistent with what was approved in the other <br /> application. <br /> Gozola stated it is his understanding the screening would be similar. The applicant is also proposing a <br /> number of additional plantings. <br /> Curtis asked what the setback is from the fence to the south lot line. Curtis noted the applicant's plan <br /> appears to be 25 feet. <br /> Gozola noted the fence would be seven feet tall and would have barbed wire on the top facing towards the <br /> inside. ' <br /> Thiesse asked whether barbed wire exists in other parts of Orono. Thiesse asked what the purpose of the <br /> barbed wire is and commented that it should perhaps be facing the other way. <br /> Gozola commented the applicant does have a few other similar facilities throughout the Metro area and <br /> have probably found this type of security works the best for their use. � <br /> Landgraver asked whether there are any restrictions on the height of anything that is stored in the outside <br /> storage area. , <br /> Gozola stated in that regard,the Planning Commission should look at the screening and the City's <br /> requirements. Gozola noted the Planning Commission can also add a height restriction on the outdoor <br /> storage as a condition of approval. <br /> Page 5 <br />
