MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br /> Monday,April 17,2017 <br /> 6:30 o'clock p.m. <br /> 4. #17-3910 LAKE WEST DEVELOPMENT,LLC,3245 WAYZATA BOULEVARD WEST, <br /> CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT,8:13 P.M.—8:43 P.M. <br /> Curt Fretham,Lake West Development,Applicant,was present. <br /> Gaffron stated the applicants are requesting the City approve a permit for interim use of the property at <br /> 3245 Wayzata Boulevard for staging of construction activity associated with the Highway 112 <br /> improvement project. There appear to be few suitable options for a staging area for that project and this <br /> property scores high marks in terms of this type of use since the site is open and relatively flat,has good <br /> accessibility,and is relatively remote from nearby residential properties. Potential negative impacts such <br /> as noise, dust,vibration,etc., should be minimal as compared to most other locations within the Wayzata <br /> Boulevard corridor. <br /> Gaffron stated with the assumption that an interim use ordinance is adopted,a list of likely required <br /> conditions for this use at any location would include minimum separation distance from nearby structures <br /> or lot lines,minimum lot size,road maintenance,traffic control measures,and restricted to government <br /> sponsored public improvement projects. <br /> Additional site specific conditions should also be considered in approving the proposed construction <br /> staging use. <br /> The portion of the site proposed for construction staging is primarily over the closed landfill area of the <br /> property. The landfill has been closed for many years and is relatively open and flat. Layers of clean fill <br /> over the landfill were added by the former owner in order to establish a suitable cap for the landfill and <br /> assure appropriate runoff characteristics. The current owners have had borings done in the landfill area in <br /> order to determine the stability and extent of the landfill as well as what materials might be encountered if <br /> a future phase of residential development is ever proposed. The area which gained preliminary approval <br /> in 2016 for residential development is not within the proposed temporary staging area. <br /> The proposed site use plan indicates the rock construction entrance to be located where the approved <br /> future residential access would be located. This access point has been approved by Hennepin County as a <br /> temporary construction access. <br /> Page 23 of 72 <br />
