MIl�UTES OF TAE � ORQNO CI'i'Y CUUNCII.MEETYNG Monday,March 14,2016 7:00 o'clock p.ar. 9. #16-3803 STONEWOOD,LLC,ON BEHALF OF TASHITAA TiJFAA, 1830 SHORELINE DRIVE,VARIA,�ICES AND CONDITIONAL USE PERNIIT(candiiued) Gustafson stated th2tt is the one that would wo�c if the.y are only allowed one. Having one curb cut would prr�bably lead to everybody tha#visits this home parking on Heritage Lane. Gustafson stated having a sidewalk tht+ou8h the yard defeats some of the eomments of the neighbors about not ha�+ing the ciub cut on Heritage Lsne. Prixrtup stated if there ia a�ore intensive use of the house,given the£act that the house expands in that direction,the driveway on that side will,�nhance that use and makes him a little uncomfortable about the variauce. Printup asked if a vari�nce is being requested on the Heritage Lane side. Curtis poi�mted aut the setback line and the arcroachment on tive overhead. Priatup stated allowing a driveway on thst side enhances a more intensified use in an area that shrnild not have any house at all. Gustafson noted the homes acroas the st�+eet both accesa onto Heritage Laa�e and that it is likely ths�any builder that would prnpose a house on this PmP�Y wauld propose that th�front door faoe HGritage Lane. If the front door does not face Heritage I.aae,it l�cely would be c�onfi�sing to visitors to have to drive gast the l:ause to get to the finnt door. Cn�stafsc�n stated even if they were to go witb.an entirely differeat design,i�would still frant Heritage Lane. I-ev'an$stated iun her view they have dvne a me�nanimous job of working with the neighbors by holding muItiple neighbQrhood meetings aad t11at they have dane a wonderful job in bein�fleacible and w�nting to be geod neighbors. Levang stated the fact that there az�e some c�onstraints with the lot,which is why the City has a variance process and that she is not stiue what more anyone could ask of the applicant in being flexible,respex,rtful,and wenting to be good neighbors. Levang stated she doea not have any pmblems with the application and that in hex view they have done a wonderfixl job. Printup asked if County Road 15 will be closed down as part of the Metropalitan Council sewer line praject or whether local traffic will be allowed. Loftus ststed.there will be fu11 access during canshuction on the Orono side o£the project and th,at she is not sure abeut the La�g Laka aide of the praject. McMi11�statod she appreciates the revision that they have done by pulling it out af the side setback and moving th�e house b�ck ten feet to accommodate the neighbor. McMillan indiaated she is oka.y with going ahead with a resolution but that she would like the applicant to look a lfttle fiuther into acoommodating a driveway apran and incorporating some landscaping for the neighbors. McMillan sugg�sted the applicant considat reducing some of the asph�lt for the driveway and also show that�novgh lands�caping caa be put in fmnt of the fe,nce. McMillan stated it sounds like the curb cut d�of Heritage Lane will be the main e�ntrance and that they should consider reducing the width of the driveway entrance off of Heritage Drive. McMillan commented she looks at that as more of a utility driveway and that in her view it�does not need to be 18 feet wide. McMillan stated if that curb cut is redueed,she would be okay with the two curb cuts. Page 11 of 3T
