MINUTES OF THE ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING Monday, September 8, 2008 7:00 o’clock p.m. ___________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ PAGE 5 of 12 (4. #08-3370 BARB AND KEVIN DULIN WITH J. SVEN GUSTAFSON OF STONEWOOD, LLC, 1785 CONCORDIA STREET, Continued) Dulin stated they are relocating the residence further back and are attempting to fit the structure inside what would be a reconstructed buildable area. They are 4.5 percent over on the hardcover in the 75-250 foot zone and under on the structural coverage. Gustafson noted there is a city fire lane located on the property and that they have spoken with the City about whether they would be able to use that land to help create a swale and correct the drainage on the property. Gustafson commented it was his impression that the Planning Commission was in favor of allowing the use of the fire lane to correct the drainage. White noted the applicant should have been able to remove the ice ridge a while ago. Dulin stated he would like to do that at the same time as the floodplain work since both projects would require heavy equipment. McMillan asked whether rip-rap would be placed along the shoreline. Dulin stated it would be. McMillan recommended the applicants give some consideration to plantings to help with erosion. Dulin stated they would need to tear up the shoreline to remove the ice ridge and that they would look into different options for that area. McMillan asked whether the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District would need to approve this plan. Dulin stated he has not submitted his plan to the MCWD at the present time. McMillan stated in her view the floodplain work is the most important and that perhaps approval from the MCWD should have been obtained first. Turner pointed out that typically the MCWD requires city approval prior to granting its approval. Rahn asked what portion of the pool would be considered hardcover. Turner stated the entire pool would be considered hardcover. Rahn asked whether the house would be constructed right up to the sewer easement. Dulin stated it would be approximately five to seven feet away from the sewer easement. Rahn suggested the house be located closer to the sewer easement to help decrease the hardcover. Turner stated the driveway apron and the approach would be shifted backwards as well, and if it could be shifted eight or ten feet, they would lose approximately 80 square feet of hardcover. Dulin stated they will locate it as far back as possible. Item #02 - CC Agenda - 09/22/08 Approval of Council Minutes 09/08/08 [Page 5 of 12]
