MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br /> Monday,March 20,2017 <br /> 6:30 o'clock p.m. <br /> Thiesse stated in his view the Planning Commission has an obligation to review and give a <br /> recommendation on a draft ordinance. Thiesse stated he thinks it is a good idea but that he would like to <br /> see some language regarding it. <br /> Landgraver commented that would also give people something to respond to. Landgraver stated it might <br /> also be useful to hear the next application. <br /> Chair Thiesse opened the public hearing at 7:13 p.m. <br /> Allan Engleman,315 North Old Crystal Bay Road,stated he has questions regarding pollution and traffic. <br /> Engleman stated if someone tries to turn in there, it is not possible with that guardrail. Engleman stated <br /> he is not sure what the taxes currently are on this property,but when it is turned into a money making <br /> deal,he has a question of how it will be taxed. <br /> In addition,when Mr.Eisinger put that fill in there,he did not compact anything. Engleman stated if they <br /> start placing excess material in there and other items,the land will sink. When Hennepin County installed <br /> the new road,the swamp was proposed to be dug out,but because of the pollution,they decided not to dig <br /> it out. When the County 6 interchange was put in,a land bridge was constructed because they would not <br /> dig it out and fill it back in. Engleman asked what is going to happen with the pollution when they start <br /> doing this new activity. <br /> Engleman asked if they are going to be able to crush concrete or whether the City will limit them to <br /> daytime hours. Engleman stated there are a lot of questions that need to be answered before this can be <br /> approved. <br /> Thiesse noted the Planning Commission will be discussing some of that under Item No. 6. <br /> Chair Thiesse closed the public hearing at 7:16 p.m. <br /> It was the consensus of the Planning Commission to suspend discussion on this item and to open <br /> Item No. 6. <br /> (Discussion on this item was suspended from 7:16 p.m.to 7:56 p.m.) <br /> Page 13 of 64 <br />
