MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br /> Monday, September 15,2014 <br /> 6:30 o'clock p.m. <br /> diagram showing the proposed drainage and that it seemed like there were four lots going on to North <br /> Arm. Johnson asked whether there is drainage exiting from that area. <br /> Hiller indicated there are two culverts on the site where they will be able to divert the drainage back on to <br /> the site. Hiller indicated they will look further into this other area with the engineer to see what they can <br /> possibly do to at least minimize it. <br /> Johnson stated in the wintertime the City does not plow North Arm very well. Johnson asked what would <br /> happen with that snow since there will now be driveways there. Johnson stated the salt from the roads <br /> could also affect some of those natural areas that will be planted. <br /> Chair Leskinen closed the public hearing at 10:42 p.m. <br /> Leskinen stated she would applaud the developer on the work that they have done and the tone they have <br /> taken with the residents. Leskinen stated it is apparent that there has been a lot of cooperation with the <br /> surrounding neighbors. <br /> Grittman noted Staff's recommendation was to table the application. Grittman stated the Planning <br /> Commission may choose to continue the public hearing until the October meeting rather than close it <br /> tonight. <br /> Leskinen stated she did intend to continue the public hearing as well and that she was merely closing it <br /> for tonight's purposes. <br /> McGrann stated it makes it a lot easier when you see collaboration between the community and the <br /> developer. McGrann stated to the extent everyone can work together to create a park,he would encourage <br /> that. <br /> Berg stated the drainage issue for Ms. Mitchell is happening now but that she would hope the developer <br /> will look into that. <br /> Hiller indicated they will be looking at that. <br /> Page 55 of 59 <br />
