MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br />Monday, July 17, 2017 <br />6:30 o'clock p.m. <br />Vogstrom pointed out the outlot blocks the land to the north so it is not included in the calculation, which <br />is also a practical difficulty. <br />Leskinen asked if there would be an additional gate besides the one that is being proposed for emergency <br />vehicles. <br />Dunkley indicated there is already a gate there. <br />William Dunkley stated they are proposing to widen the road for emergency vehicles to pass each other. <br />Curtis noted three homes having access triggers the need for a wider road. <br />Thiesse commented he is not sure about the need for a gate at the entrance.
