this traffic. If road improvement and bridge improvements have to be made, will the developee• pay for this? Do they have sewer to hook up to? If this development goes in, will this tend to create pressure to service the entire area with sewer and water? With the proposed Highway 12 going through this area, is it possible to require them to-- cluster their housing to avoid the need for removing the homes if, and when, Highway 12 is completed? I also have a concern about the amount of traffic on Orono Orchard Road. With the amount of swamp on this property, it does not seem possible that they can get 35 lots. There must be 10 to 15 acres of wetlands on this property. There also are problems with drainage in this area. The Planning Commission has designated this property as part of a plan study area. The Planning Commission will be stud- ying this area as well as others in the next 6 months to incorporate the information into a Comprehensive Plan. If, in the next 6 months, sewer becomes available, the Comprehen- sive Plan could show this area for some higher density land use. After all people were afforded the opportunity to be heard, Chairman VanNest closed the public hearing at 8:12 P.M.

The Zoning Administrator presented the Notice of Public Hearing, the Affidavit of Publication, and the Certificate of Mailing to the affected property owners. Fred Holasek, Jr. is a junior at Orono High School, and is interested in horticulture. He would like to be able to con- struct a greenhouse to see whether he wants to make this his life's profession. The following persons appeard and were given an opportunity to be heard: Comment: Name: The proposed rezoning for this area is for 5 acre lots. Since Mr. Ray Hagland this is a preferred housing area, it seems that a greenhouse Representing Ilm.Bartig would be in conflict with the proposed use. After all people were afforded an opportunity to be heard, Chairman VanNest closed the Public Hearing at 8:25 P.M. Elliott moved, Kullberg seconded that the conditional use per- mit for the construction of a greenhouse be approved with the following conditions: (Ayes 8, Mays 0) 1) That the permit will be reviewed every year. 2) The greenhouse must be removed upon the com- pletion of Fred Holasek, Jr.'s education, July I, 1976, since this area would not be appro- priate for a commercial qreenhouse.
