MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br /> Monday,July 17,2017 <br /> 6:30 o'clock p.m. <br /> Larry Schultz, 2670 Kelley Parkway, stated his concern is the one entrance/one exit onto Kelley Parkway <br /> and emergency vehicles and the amount of traffic going in and out of that area. Schultz stated in his view <br /> the City Council should consider another entrance onto Highway 12 or Kelley Parkway. <br /> Dee Schultz,2670 Kelley Parkway,stated she was wondering why the building could not face Highway <br /> 112. Schultz stated Kelley Parkway has enough activity on it with the police,the fire department,and the <br /> students. Schultz stated in her view this would be a detriment to what is currently a quiet community. <br /> Dick Moberg,2670 Kelley Parkway,expressed concerns with the parking and the likelihood that people <br /> will park on Kelley Parkway. Moberg noted there are 85 parking spaces,with many of them reserved for <br /> employees and a few reserved for residents. Moberg asked how many spaces are reserved for guests. <br /> Moberg stated it is possible 70 guests could show up and then there would be a lack of parking. <br /> Chair Thiesse closed the public hearing at 6:58 p.m. <br /> Barnhart noted a copy of an email was received from Alan Leiding that has been placed before the <br /> Planning Commission this evening expressing concerns about the height of the building. <br /> Lemke asked how many underground parking spaces there are. <br /> Barnhart stated to his knowledge there are 39. <br /> Lemke asked how many surface parking spaces there are. <br /> Barnhart indicated approximately 36. <br /> Landgraver asked whether there will be any parking along the street. Landgraver noted the plan depicts <br /> some bump-outs. <br /> Barnhart noted the south side of the road is signed no parking and the north side is signed no parking with <br /> the exception of the bump-out areas. <br /> Thiesse asked if the master plan has the building facing Kelley with no access off of Wayzata Boulevard. <br /> Barnhart stated he is very confident the Stonebay master plan from the very beginning stipulated no <br /> access off of Wayzata Boulevard. <br /> Thiesse asked if Staff can obtain the numbers from ITE to verify how much parking would be required if <br /> it was commercial. Thiesse stated to his understanding residential would be significantly less. <br /> Thiesse commented emergency vehicle access is important since this building will likely generate more <br /> medical calls. <br /> Barnhart stated if the Planning Commission is concerned about access,they could recommend a <br /> secondary access off of Kelley Parkway. <br /> Thiesse recommended visitor parking be considered as one component of the parking needs for the site. <br /> Page 4 of 20 <br />
