MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION <br />Tuesday, February 21, 2017 a <br />6:30 o'clock p.m. <br />Schoenzeit asked if City or state code require that the fenced -in play area be escape proof, such as being <br />connected to the building. <br />Gaffron stated he is not familiar with that and that the applicants would need to meet state standards. <br />Thiesse asked who owns the hydrant. <br />Gaffron indicated the fire hydrants and the water and sewer lines are city owned. The individual <br />connections going to the buildings would be privately owned. <br />Lemke asked whether there are any issues with fire trucks negotiating the parking lot. <br />Gaffron stated it is likely that a fire truck would access through one of the neighboring properties. If a <br />fire truck did go into the parking lot, it is likely it would have a hard time backing out. Gaffron noted the <br />fire chief has not reviewed the plan at this time. <br />Leskinen asked if the fire chief reviewed the original development plans. <br />Gaffron stated he is not sure and can check on that. <br />Dale Richardson noted the building is sprinkled. <br />Mary Smale stated she is the owner of Little Acoreas Child Care and that they have been in business for <br />the past 20 years, Smale stated they are required to obtain state approval on their plan and that they are <br />here tonight to see whether Orono would allow this type of use on the property. <br />Thiesse asked if she is comfortable with the proposed outdoor play area. <br />Smale indicated she is. Smale stated in her view the families will love the new location and that it will be <br />a great change for them. <br />Landgraver asked if she has any thoughts regarding the signage. <br />Page 8 of 48 <br />As, <br />
