MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br />Monday, October 16, 2017 <br />6:30 o'clock p.m. <br />A wetland delineation has been completed and that has been submitted to the Minnehaha Creek <br />Watershed District. Alcon indicated they will have that information for the preliminary plat. <br />Attempts have been made to contact the property owners in the area and that those attempts have not been <br />successful at the present time. Alcon indicated they will continue to make attempts to contact them. <br />Alcon stated shifting of the road improves the lake quality and that they will contact Hennepin County as <br />far as the additional traffic going onto County Road 15. Onsite ponding and infiltration are the current <br />concepts for the stormwater management onsite and sanitary sewer capacity calculations will be provided <br />at the time of preliminary plat. Sanitary sewer maintenance access will be along the existing roadway <br />area but with grass pavers. The grass pavers will accommodate up to 88,000 pounds. <br />Alcon noted a Conservation Design Plan is required and that they will provide that at preliminary plat. <br />Alcon stated the two major items are relocating the road, which will help the lake quality, and then <br />maintaining the sanitary sewer. No new lift stations are required and quite a bit of hardcover will be <br />removed down near the lake. Alcon noted water will be provided via private wells and the underground <br />storage tank that was for fire protection will be removed because the fire chief has indicated he would not <br />use it. <br />Lemke asked if there are any issues with the grass pavers. <br />Alcon stated to his knowledge there are not and that Mark Gronberg is the surveyor on the project and he <br />has used them in the past at the Long Lake Library. <br />Thiesse encouraged him to get in touch with the neighbors. <br />Brian Benson noted they have a meeting scheduled with the owner who owns two of the three lots on <br />Monday and that they have also reached out to a couple of other people but have gotten no response. <br />Another neighbor asked whether the main house is staying and the other family is moving. <br />Alcon noted the 45 -foot radius continues on through the corner and connects into the private road as <br />opposed to the curved hammerhead. <br />Schoenzeit asked how the proposed grading for the homes will compare to what is there. <br />Alcon stated they will be custom graded lots. <br />Benson stated they might do a custom grading plan for Lot 5 since it is low and flat. <br />Schoenzeit asked if these homes will have foundations or be slab on grade. <br />Benson indicated Lot 2 would be a walkout, Lot 3 would be a walkout, Lot 4 might be a lookout, and then <br />Lot 5 will likely need to be built up. Benson stated they are waiting to get feedback from this meeting <br />and then they will explore that a little bit more. <br />Alcon stated all that information will be provided at the time of preliminary plat. <br />Page 31 of 32 <br />
