MINUTES OF THE ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING Monday, March 25, 2013 7:00 o’clock p.m. _____________________________________________________________________________________ Page 3 of 10 (3. WESTONKA HISTORY MUSEUM, Continued) McMillan asked if there are other parts of Orono that would fall under the purview of the Westonka Historical Society aside from Navarre. Myers stated they are open to having a display on whatever parts of Orono would like to be represented at the museum. Myers noted the Pioneer Historical Museum also has a number of terrific collections on the local communities. McMillan asked if Joane Wolfe is working with the Historical Society. Myers indicated Joane is interested in having the Westonka Historical Society publish some of the information she gathers from the residents and is utilizing some of the Historical Society’s documentation as well. Myers noted it is a mutual project. McMillan suggested that Ms. Myers attend one of the upcoming Navarre meetings since it would be a good chance to introduce the local residents to the Westonka Historical Society. The City Council took no formal action on this item. PLANNING COMMISSION COMMENTS – DENISE LESKINEN, REPRESENTATIVE Denise Leskinen stated she has nothing to report but would be available for questions. PUBLIC COMMENTS None PLANNING DEPARTMENT REPORT 4. #13-3589 BAUER DESIGN BUILD, INC., ON BEHALF OF PINE CORNER PROPERTIES (AKA JEM) – 450 OLD CRYSTAL BAY ROAD NORTH – SITE PLAN APPROVAL Josh Gallus, Bauer Design Build, and Wayne Miller, JEM Technical, were present. Curtis noted JEM Technical Marketing purchased and occupied the building at 550 Old Crystal Bay Road North in 2011. They recently purchased the existing metal building at 450 Old Crystal Bay Road North in order to relocate their machine shop operations. The applicant is requesting industrial site plan approval in order to continue improving the site’s parking areas, construct an addition and make modifications to the existing building. The site plan approval includes a conditional use permit for deferment of the number of code-required parking stalls with a variance due to number of stalls provided on site. A setback variance is also requested due to the location of the existing building and its proximity to Old Crystal Bay Road North. The proposed parking area is set back six feet from the existing building where a 10-foot setback from the building is required. The 20-foot parking setback from Old Crystal Bay Road will be met.
