MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br />Monday, September 12, 2016 <br />7:00 o'clock p.m. <br />McMillan stated that might be a good topic of discussion when the City Council discusses code issues in <br />November. <br />John Stein stated the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District will be adverse to removing any buckthorn in <br />the wetland or wetland buffer areas. Stein stated the buckthorn will go into the wetland area a lot further <br />than what everyone believes. <br />Denman stated as it relates to the trail, they want to be careful to retain the buffer and that they are <br />debating possibly planting a couple rows of arborvitae or whether there will be fence. Denman indicated <br />they will work with Staff to figure out the grading for a possible future trail. Denman noted that ten feet <br />on this particular site will have an impact. Denman stated since there are only seven lots, he wants to be <br />careful on what they are spending on landscaping but that he wants to have a nice buffer from <br />Shadywood. <br />McMillan asked if anyone from the public would like to comment on this application. <br />There were no public comments. <br />Levang moved, Walsh seconded, to adopt RESOLUTION NO. 6668, a resolution Granting <br />Preliminary Plat and Rezoning Approval for Property Located at 2525, 2535, and 2545 Shadywood <br />Road, File No. 16-3847, subject to approval of the Comprehensive Plan Amendment by the <br />Metropolitan Council, and to allow some flexibility on the FAR for Lot 4, to require a 10 -foot trail <br />easement, and that buckthorn removal will not be required. VOTE: Ayes 4, Nays 0. <br />Page 4 of 4 <br />
