MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br /> Monday,March 16,2015 <br /> 6:30 o'clock p.m. <br /> Stickney stated it sounds like there will be a public trail along County Road 6 but that the trails in this <br /> development would be private and not advertised. <br /> Schwingler asked if the tennis court will be part of the homeowner's association. <br /> Stickney indicated it will be. Stickney stated in his view the route of the road is good since currently <br /> there are a lot of dead trees in its path. Stickney indicated they may change the pathway a little bit as they <br /> go through it and that they will be identifying the trees in a couple of weeks. <br /> Schwingler asked where the current driveway is proposed. <br /> Stickney pointed out the location of the proposed driveway. Stickney stated the current driveway goes <br /> right down the middle of the development and that they are planning to cut through an area where there <br /> are few or no trees. Stickney stated the reason for the center island is to provide a better visual for the <br /> property owner. <br /> McGrann asked if he has thoughts about coming in off of Hunter for Lot 9. <br /> Stickney stated he has a 30-foot corridor and that he will verify it with surveying. Stickney stated the idea <br /> of the corridor is to meander the driveway. <br /> Lemke asked if it will be gated access to the main road. <br /> Stickney indicated it will not be. <br /> Berg asked if signage will be erected denoting it as a conservation area. <br /> Stickney stated he does have some preservation signs that will be erected. Stickney stated the prairie will <br /> continue into the individual lots and will be signed. Stickney stated when the prairie is burned,the signs <br /> will be removed and then put back. <br /> Berg stated the reason she asked is if the public sees those signs,they may want to walk through it. <br /> Stickney stated they should not see the signs from the trail or road. Stickney stated the property is due for <br /> a bum and that he will see whether Wendy Dayton is comfortable with doing that. Stickney noted there <br /> will be no debt against the development and it will be paid for by this fall. <br /> Schwingler asked if the number of builders will be restricted. <br /> Stickney stated they would like more than one builder but that they will be looking at every plan to make <br /> sure the style of homes are different and meet the covenants. Stickney indicated those covenants should <br /> be finalized by the time of preliminary plat. <br /> Chair Leskinen opened the public hearing at 8:47 p.m. <br /> Liz Weir, Medina, stated her interest in this development is purely from an environmental standard but <br /> that they live two houses to the north of the Dayton property. Weir stated these are specialized woods <br /> where hawks nest, great horned owls nest and other birds next. Currently there are 15 acres of unopened <br /> Page 24 of 30 <br />
