C7 <br />r� <br />• <br />MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION <br />MEETING HELD ON NOVEMBER 18, 1996 <br />( #8 - #2193 MCWD - Continued) <br />McMillan asked what type of wetland was involved in the application. Syverson said the <br />wetland was DNR classified type 3. McMillan asked if there was any purple loose strife <br />found in the wetland. Syverson said he was not aware of any but did understand the need <br />to monitor the situation. McMillan asked about the shape of the pond. Syverson said the <br />shape was drawn to fill the easement and maximize the storage. The plan calls for a break <br />in the grade and planting of emergent vegetation. A wetland specialist will assist in the <br />landscape plan. Maple indicated MCWD had a working relationship with the Landscape <br />Arboretum. McMillan asked if the MCWD had any idea where the phosphorus was <br />coming from. Syverson said it was a non -point source. Runoff was noted to be a <br />contributing factor. McMillan noted the need to educate the land owners regarding this <br />issue. Maple said phosphorus is a major concern of the MCWD noting animal and <br />vegetation loading is heavy. <br />Coleman voiced a concern with problem of back up in the area of the private road. She <br />asked that coverings or grates be placed to alleviate clogging from logs. Syverson said the <br />clogging issues have been addressed but there is a problem with two culverts under two <br />driveways. He thought the City maintained the culverts but said the MCWD could look at <br />screening. Bick asked who was responsible. Lindquist noted the road is private and the <br />upkeep is the responsibility of the property owners. <br />Smith asked what communication has taken place between the neighbors and the MCWD. <br />Syverson said he has spoken with the two land owners affected by the application. Smith <br />suggested the notification process be broadened. McMillan noted the project included <br />hauling on a private road implying the property owners using the road should be notified. <br />Coleman indicated that she was notified of the hauling. <br />Maple noted that there has been no decision made by the board of the MCWD to do work <br />down stream of the driveways at this time. <br />Lindquist moved, Hawn seconded, to approve Application #2193 with Staff <br />recommendations 1 -10. Vote: Ayes 5, Nays 0. <br />( #9) #2194 DAVID ALAN SUTHERLAND, 1365 ARBOR STREET - VARIANCES <br />- PUBLIC HEARING 9:52 -9:58 P.M. <br />The Affidavit of Publication and Certificate of Mailing were noted. <br />The Applicant was present. <br />20 <br />
