MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION <br /> MONDAY,MARCH 19,2018 <br /> 6:30 o'clock p.m. <br /> The existing property has a home, a guest house, and barn located on the property, all of which will <br /> remain following the subdivision. The property is zoned LR-1A with a two-acre minimum. As proposed, <br /> the plat is less dense than the prescribed minimum density contemplated within the Comprehensive Plan. <br /> The applicant is proposing that the existing horseshoe driveway configuration would remain as it serves <br /> the existing home and the two vacant lots situation between the subject property and the properties on <br /> Little Orchard Way. The northern portion of the horseshoe driveway will be upgraded in width and <br /> contained within an outlot to serve as the private shared driveway access for the new Lot 1 and the <br /> existing home on Lot 2. <br /> Comments were received from Hennepin County today regarding the application and have been provided <br /> to the Planning Commission for their review. <br /> There is an existing city sewer line located in Old Crystal Bay Road South directly abutting the property. <br /> Because sewer is available,the lots should be served by City sewer and private water supply wells. The <br /> applicant has designed septic systems that do conform to serve both of the lots and has requested a waiver <br /> from the sewer connection requirement until such time as the property is further developed. <br /> The preliminary plat reflects the applicant's requested flexibility with regards to the average lakeshore <br /> setback. The average lakeshore setback requirement is determined by the existing home at 825 Old <br /> Crystal Bay Road South and the home at 3051 Farview Lane. The applicant is requesting a waiver to <br /> permit the home on Lot 1 to be as close as 80 feet from the ordinary high-water level. <br /> A 30-foot wide private driveway outlot has been provided. Hennepin County has requested an additional <br /> 17 feet of right-of-way as detailed in their comments. <br /> The Planning Commission should discuss the application and provide comments with regard to the air- <br /> conditioning units,the average lakeshore setback request,the septic line,the requirements of the MCWD, <br /> and the comments submitted by Hennepin County. <br /> Planning Staff recommends approval conditioned upon the recommendations of the City Engineer as well <br /> as the requirements of the MCWD. The Planning Commission should make a recommendation regarding <br /> the sewer connection. <br /> Landgraver asked if there is a bluff on the property. <br /> Page 2 of 23 <br />
