MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION <br />MEETING HELD ON MAY 20, 1996 <br />• <br />( #1 - #2136 Greenfield Corporation - Continued) <br />Mabusth reported that the developer is being asked to grade the road bed in outlot B for <br />future use for the property to the east. It is Staffs understanding that the owner of <br />property to east does not plan to develop at this time but plans only to construct his own <br />residence and driveway. The road bed will be seeded and grassed. Pfennig said he met <br />with the owner and discussed the plans. He added that care would be needed in dealing <br />with the wetlands. <br />Gronberg informed Mabusth that he has submitted an application to the MCWD but no <br />action has been taken. Mabusth said the sediment detention pond may have an impact on <br />lot 4. Gronberg said this would come into play when the road was paved. Mabusth noted <br />the occurrence of runoff from proposed drainageway along west side of Outlot B. Pfennig <br />said he was willing to dig the pond at this time. The pond would be partially located in lot <br />4. <br />Mabusth clarified that there would be a drainage pond in the northeast corner. A <br />drainageway easement would extend from Outlot A to the pond at northwest corner. <br />Gronberg said there are two drainage divides with drainage running to a culvert under Co <br />Rd 19, north under Co Rd 19, and northwest through ditches to the lake. The southern <br />drainage runs toward Lakeview Golf Course. Gronberg noted most houses will be to the <br />• north, which is the reason the pond leads to CoRd 19 so as not to increase the runoff. He <br />added that when the blacktop is done, there will be some additional runoff to the south. <br />Peterson asked if the Engineer agreed with the grading plan? He suggested the sediment <br />pond be established right away. <br />Smith asked if there were other developments with similar situations regarding the house, <br />septic, and wetlands, especially noting lot 4. Mabusth noted similarities with the lots in <br />the Farm at Long Lake approved in 1978. Lindquist said that property has worked out <br />well. <br />Gaffron noted the lack of flexibility for the buyer of lot 4. Smith said the potential <br />problem should be made aware to any buyers. Mabusth said the covenants will expose the <br />problems, especially with the drainage easement over detention ponds, and protective <br />covenants dealing with wetlands and septic. <br />Smith said her main concern was that no future problems be created for the City and noted <br />that the land being developed was marginal. <br />0 <br />
