MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br /> Monday, September 15,2014 <br /> 6:30 o'clock p.m. <br /> Lemke asked if the road into the development meets all the requirements of the fire department. Lemke <br /> stated the turnaround does not seem to be very useable. <br /> Mack stated the fire chief was included in on the predevelopment meeting. Mack stated as part of the <br /> concept plan,to the extent possible the hardcover would be minimized on the site and that private drive <br /> would be made as narrow as possible with on-street parking prohibited. Mack indicated the road would <br /> be wide enough to allow two cars side by side and the only on-street parking would be in the bumpouts. <br /> Mack stated there would be enough parking in each driveway for six to eight vehicles. <br /> Lemke asked if the stub-out would be for parking. <br /> Mack stated that would be for emergency turnaround only. <br /> Lemke asked if a vast majority of the trees on the site would be removed. <br /> Mack stated as it relates to tree removal, it would be isolated to the pad sites and the road. Mack <br /> indicated there would still be an area north of the road that could be kept for screening and buffering from <br /> the site to the north. Mack pointed out the area that would be preserved. <br /> Berg asked if the majority of the trees overlooking Kelly would be removed and whether there would be <br /> trees left behind the units. <br /> Mack indicated the trees overlooking Kelly would be removed and the trees in the back of the units would <br /> remain. <br /> Berg asked if the zoning allows for four single-family homes given the size of the site. <br /> Mack stated that is correct. <br /> Thiesse asked if it was guided to a greater density. <br /> Page 14 of 59 <br />
