MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION Monday, April 15, 2019 6:30 o’clock p.m. _____________________________________________________________________________________ McCutcheon asked what the haul route will be. McCutcheon noted there is a wicked left turn coming out of Bracketts Point that is concerning from a public safety point of view. McCutcheon stated he also is not sure why the haul route ends in Navarre. Lake stated she is not familiar with the end point of the haul route but that she is familiar with the left turn and that there have been no problems with the other work that is going on at Bracketts Point. Curtis stated there is a restricted bridge on the east edge. The applicants have indicated they are not bringing it to a site in the City, but if the ultimate destination is a site within the City, that site would need to receive a permit as well. Libby asked if there is a time frame for starting to move the dirt. Lake stated the permit has to be processed and finalized. Curtis noted it would be after road restrictions are lifted. Libby stated it takes approximately 35 feet for one of those dump trucks to stop and that the primary concern is that it is a county road that is heavily traveled. Lake stated in their view they have very qualified people working on the project. Chair Thiesse opened the public hearing at 7:30 p.m. There were no public comments. Chair Thiesse closed the public hearing at 7:30 p.m. Bollis stated he is supportive of the project as presented.
