MINUTES OF THE ORONO CITY COUNCIL Monday, June 23, 2014 7:00 o’clock p.m. _____________________________________________________________________________________ Page 14 of 30 (7. 13-3638 SOURCE LAND CAPITAL – 405 NORTH ARM DRIVE, LAKEVIEW PROPERTY, APPROVE EAW FOR PUBLICATION AND PUBLIC COMMENT – RESOLUTION NO. 6417, Continued) Robyn Johnson, 4730 North Arm Drive, stated she was not aware that the packet was available since the suggested motion is to make it available for publication. Johnson stated she would concur with the comments of Brenda Johnson and that while there are no reported accidents at the intersection of North Arm and County Road 19, she is personally aware of at least four different collisions in that section of the roadway, which extends further than the intersection. Johnson stated in her view given the approval for 60 to 70 homes as part of the Red Oak development as well as the 60 plus homes that will be approved as part of the Lakeview development, traffic will increase substantially. Johnson stated the area studied by Hennepin County should be expanded, especially during the winter season and the sharp curves. Johnson requested the City Council look at that issue further. Mayor McMillan closed the public hearing at 8:43 p.m. Levang moved, Printup seconded, to adopt RESOLUTION NO. 6416, a Resolution Authorizing Publication by the Minnesota Environmental Quality Board of the Environmental Assessment Worksheet for the Lakeview Residential Development according to applicable Minnesota Rules and initiation of the formal comment period that results from publication. VOTE: Ayes 3, Nays 0. McMillan noted the EAW will be available July 7 and that she would recommend the City include the report on its website as well. 8. 14-3666 LUKE KUJAWA ON BEHALF OF EOF INVESTMENTS, LLC, 1440-1442 SHORELINE DRIVE – REZONING Luke Kujawa, Applicant, was present. Gaffron stated the applicant is requesting approval for rezoning of two residential parcels addressed as 1440 and 1442 Shoreline Drive. The applicant’s initial request was to rezone from LR-1A single-family resident to B-2 commercial district similar to the adjacent marina. The Planning Commission has reviewed this request a number of times. On May 19, the Planning Commission reviewed the site plan which was submitted by the applicants as a conceptual tool to help in the discussion and how it might relate to a rezoning of the properties. That meeting resulted in a tabling of the application to allow the Planning Commission to further discuss the concept of a B-2 sub-district. At their June 4 work session, the Planning Commission discussed the potential elements of a B-2 sub- district but took no formal action. The applicant, as well as some of the neighbors, attended that work session. Item #03 - CC Agenda - 07/14/2014 Approval of Council Minutes 06/23/2014 [Page 14 of 30]
