MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION <br /> MONDAY,MARCH 19,2018 <br /> 6:30 o'clock p.m. <br /> Thiesse asked if there is a well on the other side of the property. <br /> Dayton indicated that is a well with a pump that keeps the pond at a consistent level and that there will be <br /> an easement for the well so they can keep the pump. <br /> Schoenzeit stated if that equipment is more than 10 years old,they should consider replacing it with <br /> newer equipment since the newer equipment is silent and super energy efficient and will pay for itself in <br /> about four years. <br /> Thiesse asked if the City is amenable to an easement or whether the line should be redrawn. <br /> Landgraver stated that begs the question of why the line is not drawn to the side of it to get around this <br /> issue. <br /> Mark Gronberg, Surveyor,noted the topography drops off quite a bit to the west and that relocating the <br /> line would require a lot more fill and grading on the west end. <br /> Schwingler stated he does not have a problem with the air-conditioning units and that it should be left up <br /> to the future buyer. <br /> It was the consensus of the Planning Commission that they would be comfortable with an easement for <br /> the air-conditioning units. <br /> Schoenzeit stated as it relates to the road and safety,the Planning Commission does not have the <br /> flexibility to approve the monuments and that Hennepin County will need to make the final decision. <br /> Thiesse asked whether the monuments are going to be in the right-of-way. <br /> Stickney stated the front entrance gate is 40 feet from the center of the road and that they are adequately <br /> placed for a 33-foot right-of-way. Stickney stated the issue is that they start curving toward the road so <br /> the two wings are within 25 feet of the roadway. Stickney noted if you go north to Crystal Bay Preserve, <br /> there are two newer entry monuments that are 25 feet from the right-of-way and that there are other <br /> monuments on the street that are the same way. Stickney stated the monuments are old and that they <br /> would like to preserve as much of it as they can. <br /> Thiesse stated with regard to the items related to Hennepin County,the City has no control over. <br /> Schoenzeit stated one issue is an easement for a potential trail and that this is an opportunity to preserve <br /> that. <br /> Page 6 of 23 <br />
