Thiesse noted he drives by that property regularly and does not <br /> notice it anymore. <br /> Barnhart asked if the screening that was applied to the adjacent property should be applied to this <br /> property. <br /> Thiesse stated to his recollection the City did not require any and that he would prefer what Staff has <br /> recommended. <br /> Olson stated he would prefer a berm over a fence. <br /> Thiesse asked if a fuel station is critical or whether it could be located in the back corner. <br /> McCoy stated it can be relocated and they will do so based on Staff's recommendations and the direction <br /> of the fire chief. <br /> Schoenzeit moved,Leskinen seconded,to recommend approval of Application No. 17-3935,Orono <br /> Public Schools,2687 Wayzata Boulevard West,granting of a conditional use permit per Staff <br /> recommendations.
