MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION <br />MEETING HELD ON OCTOBER 16, 1995 <br />( #3 - #2031 Bruce Kelly - Continued) <br />Peterson asked Kelly if he understood the Staff recommendation and the need for Park <br />Dedication fee on the new lot and a drainage easement. Kelly said he was not familiar <br />with these requirements and was concerned with the process. He asked that the <br />application be approved and moved forward. He did not wish to discuss the application <br />further. <br />Lindquist moved, Berg seconded, to recommend approval of Application #2031 with <br />conditions 14 as noted. Vote: Ayes 4, Nays 0, Abstain 1, Schroeder, who was not <br />present for the entire discussion. <br />(#4) #2441 PHIL AND DARCY OTTO, 4116 HIGHWOOD ROAD - AFTER -THE- <br />FACT CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT - CONTINUATION OF PUBLIC <br />HEARING 8:11 -8:19 P.M. <br />The applicants were present. <br />Mabusth reported that the application was an after - the -fact application for excavation of <br />street yard which followed a recent variance application. The current application involves <br />the creation of an additional curb cut, two tiers of retaining walls, and placement of <br />JW approximately 150 to 200 cubic yards of fill in east side yard and rear. Mr. Sauer, a <br />neighbor to the east, voiced concern with the filling and any impact runoff would have on <br />his property where the drainage flows into. The application was tabled to gain the City <br />Engineer's input on the drainage issue. Mabusth said Cook reported that there was no <br />perceivable impact from the filling. Mr. Sauer was notified and asked to attend this <br />meeting if he had any further concern. Sauer was not in attendance. <br />Mabusth said a 3:1 slope was impossible to obtain for the east side yard. The yard has <br />been graded at a 2:1 slope and planted with crown vetch. A special seeding and erosion <br />blanket will be laid to hold the dirt in place until the plantings take hold. <br />• <br />Mabusth said a catch basin was originally discussed. There is now drain tile in place <br />which will collect the runoff from road into a trench, then flows underground and directed <br />out to the rear yard. Staff recommends approval with the City Engineer to reinspect when <br />1) final grading is completed before stormwater improvements are installed and 2) after <br />seeding. <br />The Applicant noted that alot of detail has been reviewed with the Engineer. Mabusth <br />informed the applicant that it was important that the Engineer is called in to reinspect at <br />these critical times. <br />5 <br />
