MINUTES OF THE ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING Monday, June 27, 2016 7:00 o’clock p.m. _____________________________________________________________________________________ Page 13 11. #16-3830 ZEHNDER HOMES, INC., 1255 DICKENSON STREET, VARIANCES – RESOLUTION NO. 6638 (continued) Mattick stated if the findings are not approved, the City runs the risk of something being automatically approved without any findings or conditions and that the findings help solidify the conditions that were imposed at least in the staff report. McMillan stated she wanted to make the clarification that it is counter to how she would have made the decision. Mattick noted the resolution is basically a reflection of what happened at the previous City Council meeting. VOTE: Ayes 4, Nays 1, Levang Opposed. 12. #16-3842 ESTATE DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION, 425-595 OLD CRYSTAL BAY ROAD NORTH – FINAL PLAT REVIEW – ORONO PRESERVE – ADOPT FINAL PLAN APPROVAL RESOLUTION AND RELATED DOCUMENTS – RESOLUTION NO. 6639 & 6636 AND ORDINANCE NOS. 174 Gaffron stated before the City Council tonight are a number of documents regarding the proposed development and the final plat for Orono Preserve. The applicant is proposing 39 lots at the northwest corner of Wayzata Boulevard and Old Crystal Bay Road. The Council should be aware of the following: 1. The Watershed final approval is something the City does not have in hand at this point. Staff has been advised that they are pending and have been received by MCWD staff. Gaffron stated there potentially some minor tweaks that will need to be made to the documents. 2. The City Engineer has reviewed the plans with regard to the final plat, street signage, and pavement markings, grading and erosion control, sanitary sewer and water main installation, storm sewers and stormwater management, landscaping, and other general items. His comments will be incorporated into the Development Agreement. 3. A slightly revised plan regarding the side setbacks has been submitted. Lot 1, Block 1, and Lot 16, Block 4, have an increased setback to the adjacent Dumas property. 4. No homeowners association being proposed but a stormwater facilities maintenance agreement will be required. Gaffron stated typically the City does not want to have the obligation for maintenance of stormwater ponds within a development and that the Applicant is working towards a covenant that puts the onus on the homeowners through a homeowners association strictly for management of the ponds. Access to the stormwater pond in Lots 1, 2, and 3 of Block 4 will be documents and two bio-retention basins abut the public road for easy maintenance access.
