MINUTES OF THE ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING Monday, August 8, 2016 7:00 o'clock p.m. 13. #16-3847 CHARLES CURD, LLC, ON BEHALF OF DDK, LLC, 2525, 2535, AND 2545 SHADYWOOD ROAD, PRELIMINARY PLAT, COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT, AND REZONING (continued) Barnhart stated he is hearing general support for the plan from the Council and that he can prepare a resolution and bring it back to the City Council in the near future. Barnhart stated the Comprehensive Plan Amendment can be voted on at the same time as the preliminary plat resolution. McMillan asked whether Staff has any recommendations regarding the City's overall density number. Barnhart stated he included a possible solution to the City's density issue in the staff report. Barnhart stated the City's Comprehensive Plan is somewhat confusing because mixed use is defined in some places as six units and in other places as four. One solution would be to increase the mixed use to six units overall. Barnhart indicated he would like Staff to come forward with a recommendation to adjust the mixed use density, which would be part of the Comprehensive Plan Amendment. It was the consensus of the City Council that the rezoning of this property to RPUD is acceptable. Barnhart noted the rezoning would not occur until the time of final plat. Levang moved, Walsh seconded, to direct Staff to prepare an approval resolution for preliminary plat. VOTE: Ayes 5, nays 0. MAYOR/COUNCIL REPORT Walsh noted last Tuesday, August 2, was National Night Out and that he rode with Police Chief Farniok and Senator Dave Osmek. Walsh stated there were lots of people out and getting together. The highlight of the evening was the landing of the big helicopter and the kids being able to get their picture taken in the helicopter. Cornick reported he attended a Navarre Community Initiative meeting regarding the Navarre Festival and that he will be handling the bike rodeo. Levang stated things are going well with the Navarre Community Initiative and that they have quite a few businesses that are very excited about it. In addition to the bike rodeo, there will be a Heart Safe Initiative, and that they will be asking residents to preregister for that. Levang commented it will be a great opportunity for the residents to come and receive that training. The training is free, will last around 30 minutes, and the participants will receive a certificate. Printup noted Long Lake Corn Days is this weekend. Printup stated in looking at the minutes from two weeks ago work, he would like to propose that the City Council discuss the Metropolitan Council reform issue further. Printup moved, Walsh seconded, to have the Metropolitan Council issue placed on the August 22 City Council agenda. Page 11 of 17
