MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING Tuesday, January 20, 2015 6:30 o’clock p.m. _____________________________________________________________________________________ Page 19 of 21 Landgraver stated the language has average setback line as defined by the most lakeward projection of the fence owner’s principal residence and the most lakeward projection of the adjacent affected principal residence structure. Landgraver asked if there should be two lines. Gaffron noted the City changed this piece of code years ago because the impact of a fence affects the owner of the fence on the one side and the neighbor on the other side but not the other adjoining neighbor. The City elected to define it using the property of the owner of the fence as opposed to using a line that is established by properties on either side of the fence owner. Gaffron stated there is a different average lakeshore setback line for a fence than it is for anything else. Gaffron stated he would recommend this application be tabled. Chair Leskinen opened the public hearing at 8:26 p.m. There were no public comments regarding this application. Chair Leskinen closed the public hearing at 8:26 p.m. Leskinen asked whether different language can be put in there with regard to the average lakeshore setback line. Gaffron indicated he can insert language to distinguish it from the general average lakeshore setback line, such as a fence average lakeshore setback line. McGrann moved, Landgraver seconded, to table Application No. 15-3708, Amend Section 78- 1405(a)(8) to clarify the defined fence height and restrict temporary fence materials. VOTE: Ayes 6, Nays 0. 8. #15-3709 AMEND SECTION 78-1001(6) TO ADD NAVARRE AREA TO PUD MIXED USE PROVISIONS, 8:27 P.M. – 8:29 P.M. Gaffron stated in the 1990s or late 1980s, the City created a PUD process and had it apply only to the Highway 12 corridor area but not apply to the Navarre area. Gaffron stated this change adds the Navarre Area to the eligibility for mixed use PUD standards similar to that allowed for the Wayzata Boulevard corridor. Staff recommends approval of the zoning text amendment. Chair Leskinen opened the public hearing at 8:28 p.m. There were no public comments regarding this application. Chair Leskinen closed the public hearing at 8:28 p.m. Lemke moved, McGrann seconded, to recommend approval of Application No. 15-3709, Amend Section 78-1001(6) to add Navarre Area to PUD mixed use provisions.
