MINiJTE5 OF THE � ORONO CTTY COUNCIL MEETING Monday,Much 14,2416 7:011 o'clock p.m. 9. #16-3803 STONEWQ4D,LLC,ON BEHALF OF TASHITAA TUFAA,1830 SHORELIlYE DRIVE,VARIANCES AND CONDITIONAL USE PERNIIT(cont�nuad) �stafs4n commented the Council approved ope a while ago that was preity similaz. Curtis noted that was on Shadywood and Crystal Bay Road. Curtis statod it was a corner lot for a detached garage. In that instauce the property owner did not have a through c�onne�tion but had an access to the aew detached garage that was approved. Walsh noted it was mentiamed that this cc�uld potentially be a Staff decision,but when he resds the report, it says that im addrtion to other varianees,a variance to allow a secoad driveway is needed because City Code vnly allows one driveway appro�cch per pmperty. Curtis statod the previous Publio works Director in�it as a Bzaff approved variance. Curtis noted it would no+t be a variance in the zaniug code but a vari�nce to Chapter 18. The new Ci#y Engineer has decided t�at that is�decision he would like the Cauncil to make. Klint stat�ed some of the other neighbors'concerns related�o construction traffic. Klint noted th�re is the new development th�ot is happening at the end of Heritage Lane as well as the two empty lots that arc now curn�ntly for sale. As a rr�ilt,the neighbors are�quite concerned�bout the amount of develaQment in this neighborhovd. Klint indicated they have beea in contact with Hennepin Cowrty aud they will alloPw tsmporary acoess anto Shoneline Drive but will not allow permanent access. That temporary access should alle`riate most of the heavy aonstruction traffic and the warkers on the house should be able to park on the site. Klint stated th�y have also removed the request for the b-foot tall fen,ce around the perimeter of the praperty and t1�t they are in the process of developing a landscape plan. Klint stated they will have a f�ce of some type bnt that they will not be aslang for a variance af any kind for the fence. Gustafson stated the feaee also came up durin�the neighborhood�eeting. Gustafsan stat�of the five nei�hbors who attended the meetueg,two of them had objections to the fence. The neighbor directly acr+�s the street had an objection ta the fence and 11+Ir.Tufaa indicated he is willing to work with him. McMillan asked if the curb cuts will be 18 fcet wide. Klint stated he does not hww the exact size. I�+IcMillan sta#ed he Ims 12 an the interior driveway and then 18 at the ctub. Klint not�d that is far the turniag radius. Gustafson oommented it is nat a hard and fast number. McMillan stated the 18-foot curb cut is pretty wide and that reducing the width might alleviate some of the c�ucern. McMillan stated the nazrower width sometimes leads to some parkiag problerns at times,but that the City prefers the lower key,less urban look. McMillan noted they are not over on hardcover,but that in her view t�e amount af driveway could be minimi�.ed. Page 8 of 37
