MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br />Monday, July 11, 2016 <br />7:00 o’clock p.m. <br />_____________________________________________________________________________________ <br /> <br />Page 13 of 25 <br /> <br />PLANNING DEPARTMENT REPORT – JOHN THIESSE, REPRESENTATIVE <br /> <br />11. #15-3763a CHRISTOPHER W. BOLLIS, 200-350 STUBBS BAY ROAD NORTH, <br />REVISED PRELIMINARY PLAT <br /> <br />This item was removed at the request of the Applicant. <br /> <br />12. #16-3822 LAKEWEST, LLC, 3245 WAYZATA BOULEVARD WEST, PRELIMINARY <br />PLAT REVIEW <br /> <br />Senior Planner Gaffron noted the City Council reviewed this proposed subdivision on May 9 and tabled <br />the application pending Staff discussions with the Metropolitan Council regarding the density issue and a <br />meeting between the developer and Hennepin County regarding access to Wayzata Boulevard. <br /> <br />Pursuant to that direction, Staff conferred with Metropolitan Council staff and reported to the City <br />Council at its June 27 meeting that an understanding of how Metropolitan Council calculates density has <br />been gained. <br /> <br />The Fire Chief also reviewed the plan and commented that a hammerhead or T configuration would be <br />preferred. <br /> <br />Hennepin County has also reviewed the plan and will be requiring some turn lanes and approving the <br />westerly access but not the second easterly access at this time. Due to the lack of a second access point, if <br />a fire occurred in the middle of the development, it would be difficult for the residents to get through. <br />The City Council should discuss the following items: <br /> <br />1. The Conservation Design Master Plan is lacking certain detailed information which will be <br /> necessary to have flushed out before final plat approval. <br /> <br />2. Council to confirm acceptance of “average” FAR of 0.782 and how or whether to define for <br /> individual lots. <br /> <br />3. Confirm Council acceptance of average hardcover of 35 percent. Some lots will be over the 50 <br /> percent RPUD limit. <br /> <br />4. Street widths, private versus public, acceptance of T configuration. <br /> <br />5. Confirm acceptance of no trail easement along Wayzata Boulevard. <br /> <br />6. Review stormwater fee calculation method. <br /> <br />Based on the County comments indicating that a single access point will be allowed, the applicants should <br />provide a revised set of plans showing the hammerhead configuration and any other aspects of the <br />preliminary plat that will change as a result. <br /> <br />McMillan asked if the emergency access point on the T can be made attractive.
