• <br />MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION <br />MEETING HELD ON NOVEMBER 18, 1996 <br />( #8 - #2193 MCWD - Continued) <br />During public comment, Kathryn Biek, 4675 Creekwood Trail, questioned the additional <br />work on the creek bed, specifically, condition #11. She indicated that this work has not <br />been addressed. She questioned whether it would affect taking any of her land. Syverson <br />informed her that the project would not require taking of any land but involves removing <br />sediment. Biek asked how the creek would be accessed. Syverson said they would work <br />with the land owner. <br />Biek voiced concerned with destruction of the landscaping on her property. Maple <br />indicated that the area was previously a ditch, and the MCWD has authority over the <br />ditch. Lindquist asked if it is considered a County ditch and if there were any easements <br />declaring it to be a County ditch. Gaffron reported that a 50' easement follows the center <br />of the creek bed. He indicated the major concern will be how access is gained without <br />affecting the land owner's property. <br />(Planning Commissioner Smith arrived at this time.) <br />Sharon Coleman, 4650 Creekwood Trail, indicated that her property and Biek's meets <br />halfway through the creek, but she is aware of an existing easement. She asked for public <br />notice to be given if condition #I I precludes the notice. Maple said the procedure is to <br />• notify any land owner that is affected. Gaffron indicated that condition #11 was an "after <br />thought" resulting from discussions that took place in review of the proposal earlier today. <br />It was suggested the new condition be added rather than review the creek bed cleanup as a <br />separate issue. It was noted that the clean out may be as simple as cleaning out the <br />sediment. Maple said he found it acceptable to add the condition. <br />Berg informed Coleman and Biek that they would be notified of any public hearing. <br />Lindquist informed Coleman and Biek of their right to attend a public hearing and voice <br />their concerns. <br />Biek informed the Commission that the runoff drains into her yard. <br />Gaffron indicated with the questions being raised that Condition #11 should not be <br />included at this time. Maple agreed. <br />19 <br />
