i <br /> � O� <br /> O O <br /> , CITY of ORONO <br /> � � <br /> '� RESOWTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL <br /> ��'9ItE Hp4�'G NO. '4 Jr 4 `�° <br /> �S <br /> 13. Trees are proposed to be planted along the east property lines along Briar Street and <br /> to screen the property from the residential properties located to the east. Additional <br /> trees are to be planted to screen from the residential properties to the north and west. <br /> At the Planning Commission meeting,the Arts Center agreed they would be willing <br /> � to plant a few trees between the adjacent Hill School and the parking lot. <br /> 14. The property is adjacent to the Hill School which uses the tennis court and has an <br /> outdoor area used by the students of the School. The area is immediately adjacent <br /> to the proposed east parking area. The use of the lot for parking is a possible safety <br /> issue for the neighboring Hill school. Permanent fencing will be constructed along <br /> the property line between the school and Arts Center to define the property boundary <br /> and screen the parking area. <br /> 15. The conditional use permit for the building height to exceed 30' is denied based on <br /> the precedent that would be set for non-residential buildings in the City to exceed <br /> height limitations as design elements to new buildings. <br /> 16. The Arts Center has proposed a conditional use permit to permit screening of <br /> mechanical equipment requiring a 44.5'screening tower. The tower would be visible <br /> to adjacent residential properties and Lake Minnetonka. <br /> 17. The Municipal Code permits buildings to have a maximum height of 30' above the <br /> natural elevation. <br /> 18. It is not required that mechanical equipment be located above a structure. The tower <br /> was also proposed as a design element to the building with an Arts Center logo of <br /> "MCA"to be placed on the tower. <br /> 19. Temporary fencing will be provided along the property lines to the Hill School to <br /> separate the construction area from the Hill School property. Construction traffic is <br /> limited to access to the southwest entrance. <br /> 20. The City Council finds that granting a conditional use permit to continued use of the <br /> property as an arts school will not be detrimental to the health, safety or general <br /> welfare of the public,would not adversely affect light,air nor pose a fire hazard or <br /> other danger to neighboring properties, nor will its use depreciate surrounding <br /> .
