MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br /> Monday,June 17,2013 <br /> 6:30 o'clock p.m. <br /> Neil Goodwin indicated they have spoken to the neighbor across the street and that they are attempting to <br /> take some of the drainage from the house and redirect it towards the lake rather than the street. <br /> Landgraver noted the driveway goes down to 940' and the back of it is at 950' but that he is not trained <br /> enough in engineering to know how that would drain. <br /> Thiesse commented the water will somehow have to be diverted from the French drain at the 940' contour <br /> down to the 938' contour at the lake, which will be very interesting to see. <br /> Eskuche noted the lake is approximately nine feet lower. <br /> Gaffron stated the surface runoff would have to be taken from the driveway at a 939 to 940 contour and <br /> then outletted within 40 to 50 feet of the lake, which is not something the City has allowed in the past. <br /> The City typically has not allowed surface runoff to be piped and outletted in the 0-75 foot zone since <br /> there is very little chance for it to be filtered before it reaches the lake. <br /> Thiesse asked if the City would allow the water to be diverted to the storm drain. <br /> Gaffron stated that is one possible option. <br /> Eskuche noted there is a city sewer on the property that would be easier to access and they would be <br /> willing to do that. <br /> Gaffron asked if the inlet outlets to the east side of the lake. <br /> Neil Goodwin indicated it does go to the east. <br /> Gaffron stated it would require the approval of the City Engineer. <br /> Curtis stated the focus of the City Engineer in his review at this stage of the application was the 0-75 foot <br /> zone and that he will have to take a closer look at it before the application goes to the City Council. <br /> Schoenzeit asked what distance the pipe could be from the lake. <br /> Gaffron indicated 76 feet from the lake. <br /> Krogness asked where the new driveway would be located. <br /> Eskuche pointed out the location of the driveway on the overhead. <br /> Chair Leskinen opened the public meeting at 7:00 p.m. <br /> There were no public comments regarding this application. <br /> Chair Leskinen closed the public meeting at 7:00 p.m. <br /> Thiesse asked if the neighbors are happy with the plan as depicted. <br /> Page 5 of 9 <br />
