MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING Monday,April 17,2017 6:30 o'clock p.m. Fretham commented technology has come a long way and that the equipment has spray bars that spray water onto the debris to control the dust. Thiesse noted No. 5 deals with construction of the berm. Fretham stated the berm will be constructed but that he will need to come back for a separate conditional use permit for it. Thiesse stated Item No. 6 is the condition that an annual review of the interim use permit shall be conducted. Leskinen stated she would not mind seeing something more frequent, such as a 6-month review. Landgraver commented there might be seasonal issues that come up and that a 6-month review seems reasonable,especially since this is the first interim use permit the City will have issued. Lemnke moved,Landgraver seconded,to recommend approval of Application No. 17-3910, Lake West Development,3245 Wayzata Boulevard West,granting of an interim use permit for staging of construction activities associated with the Highway 112 improvement project,subject to Staffs recommendations and the conditions recommended by the Planning Commission. VOTE: Ayes 6,Nays 0. 5. #17-3918 REHKAMP LARSON ON BEHALF OF BILL TOLES, 1095 FERNDALE ROAD WEST,VARIANCES AND CONDITIONAL USE PERMITS,8:43 P.M.—9:02 P.M. Jean Rehkamp Larson, Applicant, and Charles Fendlayer, Architect, were present. Curtis stated the owner of the property is requesting the following variances in order to construct a new residence: 1. Lot area, lot width, lake setback, hardcover within 75 feet of the OHWL, and average lake setback. In addition, conditional use permits are requested for site grading in excess of 500 cubic yards for mitigation of areas of the property below the 1 percent annual chance floodplain and to allow a full bathroom within the proposed detached garage. The currently proposed footprint is depicted in orange and is situated further back from the lake and oriented on the property for improved lake views by neighbors than was the previously approved plan. This property has had a number of variance approvals which are still valid until November of 2017. The original plan is shown in blue on the overhead. The applicants' request for hardcover, lake setback, and average lakeshore setback variances results in the property's inability to conform to the administrative approval provision in Section 78-72 regarding lots of record. Therefore,the area and width variances are also required to develop this property. The applicants are proposing to encroach as close as 65 feet to the lake with the home where a 75-foot setback is required. It also results in an encroachment of approximately 15 feet lakeward of the average lakeshore setback line. The proposed terraces will encroach as much as 30 feet into the 75-foot setback.
