It was our conclusion that there are no apparent issues that cannot be resolved by careful site <br /> planning. The addition as presented would appear to meet lot line setback requirements, and absent a final wetland <br /> delineation, it appears from available airphotos that the City's 35' wetland setback requirement will likely not be an <br /> issue. We discussed parking needs and the fact that the site is on the same parcel as the high school and ample <br /> overflow parking is available on the site. Traffic circulation was discussed and the idea of a drop-off lane makes sense. <br /> The loss of some vegetative screening at the site of the addition is not considered to be significant. We did bring up the <br /> issue of the need for screening of the mechanical equipment at the north end of the building, which should be <br /> addressed as you move forward. <br /> The addition will require approval of a Conditional Use Permit by the City Council,for which we provided you with an <br /> application packet. The School District as owner of the land should be a co-applicant. If at any time you have questions <br /> about the application process, please feel free to call or email me. <br /> Mike <br /> Michael P.Gaffron <br /> Senior Planner <br /> City of Orono <br /> (Street Address)2750 Kelley Parkway <br /> (Mailing Address) P.O.Box 66,Crystal Bay,MN 55323 <br /> Phone:(952)249-4622 <br /> Fax: (952)249-4616 <br /> From: Thomas Renard [ma ilto:twrenard©avahoo.com] <br /> Sent: Friday, January 30, 2015 11:24 AM <br /> To: Mike Gaffron <br /> Subject: RE: Ice Arena - Geotechnical Report <br /> Mike, <br /> Thank you very much for your time,and Lyle's time,yesterday to discuss this project. The Arena Board is requesting a <br /> summary of our meeting,while not official, would give them comfort to know the City has looked at it and believe the <br /> project fits in the City's guidelines and should hit major stumbling blocks. <br /> I am hoping to have your response today so I can include it in a packet of documents for a meeting on Monday. <br /> Thank you, <br /> Tom. <br /> From: Mike Gaffron (mailto:MGaffron@ci.orono.mn.us] <br /> Sent:Thursday,January 29, 2015 2:50 PM <br /> 1 <br />
