MINUTES OF THE
<br /> ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING
<br /> Monday,July18,2016
<br /> 6:30 o'clock p.m.
<br /> Barnhart stated the Council has discussed a similar situation on other recent developments and that they
<br /> have required an easement but have allowed the easement to be landscaped. Barnhart noted any trail
<br /> would impact the buffering and berm proposed by the developer.
<br /> Lemke asked whether the Planning Commission feels it is imperative that 10 percent private open space
<br /> be provided by the developer.
<br /> Barnhart stated the developer could pay a park dedication fee instead of a land donation. Barnhart noted
<br /> the only public space nearby is Lydiard Beach and that there would not be a connection from this property
<br /> to that area. Barnhart stated if the Planning Commission does not feel the need for the land donation,they
<br /> would basically be waiving that.
<br /> Lemke asked whether there are any other issues or concerns with the application.
<br /> Leskinen commented she is still on the fence a little bit but that she is closer to approving it versus some
<br /> of the other proposals the City has seen for this property. Leskinen stated she does have a concern with
<br /> removal of so many trees on the site,but that given the work that would be needed on the site, it may be
<br /> difficult to preserve very many.
<br /> McGrann stated he is inclined to have the application move forward with the hope that the developer will
<br /> send out the plans to the neighbors prior to the City Council meeting.
<br /> Olson commented the proposal is a good use of the site and that the developer is willing to work with the
<br /> neighbors on the landscaping.
<br /> Lemke indicated he is in agreement with the conditions recommended by Staff.
