MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION <br /> Tuesday,February 21,2017 <br /> 6:30 o'clock p.m. <br /> The applicants have submitted building layout plans that do not propose additional lighting. Parking lot <br /> lighting was completed by the original developer. The applicants have not indicated the need for any <br /> additional exterior lighting. If any new exterior lighting is proposed, photometric plans should be <br /> provided. <br /> Under the original approval, the dumpster area was to be enclosed but that has not yet been done. Any <br /> approval should require the dumpster area to be enclosed. In addition,the incomplete elements of the <br /> landscaping plan should be completed. <br /> The entire PUD development site is allowed 190 square feet of signage, which includes the existing <br /> partially-built monument sign and individual exterior wall mounted signs for each unit. The applicants <br /> should be asked to show the size and location of signage proposed for their use. <br /> The Planning Commission should discuss the issues outlined in Staffs report. If the Planning <br /> Commission concludes that this site is appropriate for the proposed daycare use, Staff would recommend <br /> approval subject to the following conditions: <br /> 1. The applicants provide detailed plans with regard to the outdoor play areas, which should be <br /> designed to meet State of Minnesota licensing standards. <br /> 2. Prior to occupancy, the final lift of bituminous should be installed and the parking lot striped per <br /> the approved site plans, and dumpster screening should be constructed. <br /> 3. A signage plan meeting City requirements is to be submitted. <br /> 4. The property owner is to provide a detailed schedule for completion of required site <br /> improvements. <br /> Schoenzeit asked if City or state code require that the fenced-in play area be escape proof, such as being <br /> connected to the building. <br /> Gaffron stated he is not familiar with that and that the applicants would need to meet state standards. <br /> Thiesse asked who owns the hydrant. <br /> Gaffron indicated the fire hydrants and the water and sewer lines are city owned. The individual <br /> connections going to the buildings would be privately owned. <br /> Lemke asked whether there are any issues with fire trucks negotiating the parking lot. <br /> Gaffron stated it is likely that a fire truck would access through one of the neighboring properties. If a <br /> fire truck did go into the parking lot, it is likely it would have a hard time backing out. Gaffron noted the <br /> fire chief has not reviewed the plan at this time. <br /> Leskinen asked if the fire chief reviewed the original development plans. <br /> Gaffron stated he is not sure and can check on that. <br /> Page 5 of 32 <br />
