MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br />Monday, August 21, 2017 <br />6:30 o'clock p.m. <br />Fretham stated their engineer has proposed 1,000 yards of fill and that with a typical excavation 200 to <br />300 yards of material is hauled out and 200 to 300 yards is hauled in. Fretham stated if you times that by <br />two, it will be approximately 1,200 cubic yards, which is a little more than typical. Fretham stated <br />another way to double check those calculations is to take the square footage of the lots and multiply that <br />by two, which is approximately a third of an acre. It would take approximately 1,600 yards of fill for that <br />area. Fretham stated in his estimation they are looking at around 1,200 to 1,300 cubic yards. Fretham <br />stated while it might seem that they will be hauling in a lot of material, a lot of that has to do with the fact <br />that the homes will be slab on grade so there is not a need to haul material out. <br />Thiesse stated stormwater management is a concern of his as well as the neighbor. Thiesse asked how it <br />will be confirmed that the water will not disturb the neighbor's property. <br />Fretham noted he has provided a drawing that specifically addresses water runoff and that what they are <br />proposing should help the Whites. Fretham stated a berm will be installed to help divert the water away <br />from the White's property. <br />Tera White stated they do not have a problem currently but it is the addition of hardcover that they are <br />concerned about. White stated the water appears to be diverted to a swale that is very close to their house <br />and that it will be creating a problem that does not currently exist. <br />Fretham noted there will actually a mound in that area. <br />Tera White stated it does not assure her that they will not get runoff onto their property. <br />Thiesse noted they have contours that show the water will go down Casco and onto the subject property. <br />Fretham stated they are not diverting any water onto the White's property and that it should improve their <br />situation. Fretham noted they will also be adding some underground stormwater treatment on Lots 1 <br />and 2. <br />Thiesse asked how he proposes to address the existing roadway and construction traffic. <br />Page 12 of 19 <br />
