MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO CITY PLANNING COMMISSION <br />Monday, October 21, 2013 <br />6:30 o’clock p.m. <br />_____________________________________________________________________________________ <br />  <br />Page 23 of 42  <br />  <br />Schrader stated the third stall could by extended 12 feet and that the 18 foot depth is on the double side. <br />The single stall extends maybe 9 feet, which is not shown very well on the overhead. The right-hand <br />corner has an elevator in it, which is why the 12-foot was proposed. <br /> <br />Leskinen stated that may also not be achievable but that a detached garage is another option. <br /> <br />Wang indicated he will make sure their next car will be smaller. <br /> <br />Lemke moved, Thiesse seconded, to table Application No. 13-3636, Lixiao Wang, 3059 Farview <br />Lane. VOTE: Ayes 7, Nays 0. <br /> <br />9. /10. #13-3639 AND #13-3638 SOURCE LAND CAPITAL, LLC, ON BEHALF OF GRANT <br />WENKSTERN, 405 NORTH ARM DRIVE, COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT, 8:38 <br />P.M. – 10:55 P.M. <br /> <br />Leskinen asked whether the applications should be discussed separately. <br /> <br />Gaffron stated the comprehensive plan amendment portion of the application should be discussed first. <br /> <br />Leskinen commented the public hearing will likely involve both applications. <br /> <br />Steve Grittman, NAC, stated this application involves the conversion of the Lakeview Golf Course into <br />single-family residential. Grittman noted there are five parcels that are depicted on the overhead, <br />including one parcel that is not part of the proposal. That parcel includes the current owner’s home. <br /> <br />The proposal will convert the golf course into a rural residential development. The current status of the <br />property from a Comprehensive Plan standpoint is guided for park, recreational, and open space. The <br />property is currently zoned RR-1B, which is the zoning district in Orono that allows for two acre sized <br />lots in a rural residential pattern. The property is located outside the MUSA district. <br /> <br />The formal approvals necessary to take this project from its current proposal to an eventual end include a <br />Comprehensive Plan Amendment that is under consideration this evening as well as a preliminary plat, <br />final plat, and possibly a zoning action depending on the nature of the proposed plat that is presented. A <br />Planned Residential Development is one option that could be pursued depending on the nature of the <br />design. <br /> <br />Grittman noted the process will also require a series of reviews and applications over a number of months. <br />A number of other agencies will be part of the review process. Hennepin County will be involved in <br />various aspects of transportation improvements as part of the project. Grittman noted Hennepin County <br />has authority for review as it relates to access to county roads. There are two county roads that abut the <br />property, County Road 19 on the west and County Road 151 located to the south. The Minnehaha Creek <br />Watershed District will also be involved as they have review authority on stormwater management and <br />are also involved in revegetation and landcover restoration that will potentially be part of this project. <br />In addition, Metropolitan Council will be involved in the Comprehensive Plan Amendment to make sure <br />that it is consistent with the regional plans that the Metropolitan Council has developed. <br /> <br />Item #01 - PC Agenda - 11/18/2013 <br />Approval of Planning Commission Minutes 10/21/2013 <br />[Page 23 of 42]
