MINUTES OF TI3E . <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br /> Monday,July18, 2016 <br /> 6:30 o'clock p.m. <br /> Schoenzeit stated the Planning Commission could also recommend that the plan not be approved unless a <br /> detailed landscaping plan is submitted. <br /> Leskinen asked whether the Planning Commission will be seeing this at the time of final plat. <br /> Barnhart indicated they will not unless there are some major changes to the plan in the meantime. <br /> Denman stated they will be submitting the landscaping plan prior to the application proceeding to the City <br /> Council and that they can also provide copies to the Planning Commission for their input. <br /> McGrann asked whether the neighbors would have the opportunity to comment on the landscaping plan <br /> following this meeting. <br /> Barnhart noted this is the public hearing but that the Mayor will probably allow the residents to comment <br /> on the plan at the City Council meeting. Barnhart stated the Mayor is not obligated to hold a public <br /> hearing and that he does not want there to be the assumption that there will be a public hearing at the City <br /> Council meeting. <br /> Denman stated he would not mind sending the plan out to the neighbors and that he is not opposed to <br /> asking the Mayor to allow public comments. <br /> Barnhart noted written comments as well as the minutes are provided to the City Council prior to them <br /> reviewing the application. <br /> Olson asked whether the neighbors will receive another notice. <br /> Barnhart stated he cannot call a public hearing at the City Council level for this application and that if he <br /> sends out a notice to the neighbors, it would be considered a public hearing. Barnhart stated if the <br /> Planning Commission is uncomfortable with not seeing the final plan,the Planning Commission can table <br /> any action on the application. <br /> Denman stated he would be happy to send out the landscape plan to the residents listed on the notice list. <br /> Lemke commented that would be very helpful. <br /> Lemke asked the Commission whether trails or sidewalks should be provided to connect this <br /> neighborhood with the community at large. <br /> Barnhart stated there are no existing trails or sidewalks in this area but that there are plans to put a trail <br /> along Shadywood on the north side. Barnhart noted this development is located kind of in the middle of <br /> the block and that it may not be the best intersection for a trail. <br /> McGrann commented it probably is not necessary. <br /> Mark Gronberg, Surveyor, noted it would be difficult to fit a sidewalk in that area since the developer is <br /> proposing to build a berm and a fence for privacy. Gronberg stated a sidewalk could go in along the <br /> right-of-way on County Road 19. <br /> Page 14 of 19 <br />
