• <br />MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION <br />iiAi v71rI �G f1iELL Oi�i �u�vjiiRiT 2i, iOi? <br />( #7 - #2202 County Road 15 Improvement - Continued) <br />Smith asked what impact the filling of wetlands would have on the wild life in the area. <br />Settles said the reports indicate there will be no impact noting the land is only a long, <br />narrow strip. <br />Smith inquired if there would be any detours or rerouting of traffic. She was informed <br />that the construction would be staged such as half the road would be built at a time <br />allowing for on -going two -lane traffic by use of one lane and the shoulder. <br />McMillan questioned the surcharging. Guy Knowlan said the surcharging will make use <br />of a select granular sand, which over an approximate 6 month period of time will <br />compress the air and water out of the material to allow Class 6 and bituminous to be laid <br />over it. The north side would be affected 1.2 meters and driveways will be left lower to <br />accommodate the surcharging. <br />There were no public comments. <br />Gaffron informed Lindquist that the Council is considering a ponding agreement but does <br />not wish to delay the project. Polaczyk noted the construction cooperative agreement <br />between Hennepin County and Orono states such language listing the responsibilities <br />• regarding maintenance and funding participation between the County and City. He <br />explained the costs regarding right -of -way and construction as well as the City <br />contribution of the Ferndale Cutoff for mitigation. <br />• <br />Schroeder moved, Lindquist seconded, to recommend approval of the CUP and variances <br />for alteration of existing wetlands in conjunction with the reconstruction of County Road <br />15 from Orono Orchard Road to the eastern border of the City with the recommendation <br />that the Council pursue alternate mitigation sites.
