MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION <br />MEETING HELD ON MARCH 31, 1997 <br />CONTINUATION OF PUBLIC HEARING <br />• SPRING HILL GOLF CLUB <br />integration into the wetlands. The wetland impacts will require approval by other <br />agencies, the Corp of Engineers, the DNR, and MCWD. <br />Lindquist inquired if the MCWD will likely approve the wetland impacts. Qaffron said <br />there should be no large changes requested but possibility changes of individual wetland <br />areas. The recommendations of the MCWD has not been determined. <br />Marshal Braman said no feedback has been received from the DNR who wants to see City <br />approval occur first. Crosby said the applicant is attempting to meet before the MCWD <br />regarding their requirements. He noted the MCWD would like to see the City approve the <br />plan before making any recommendations. <br />• Lindquist asked the applicant to address the conce rn m ade by t h e Sta ff as w well as t he <br />necessity of the impact on wetlands #5 and 912. <br />Gaff-on explained the separation requirements in creating a 26' buffer zones around <br />wetlands. The grading will also require revegetation. <br />Dennis Wiese indicated wetland #5 would be impacted due to the problem with hitting a <br />golf hall over the wetland. The configuration presented a problem with a large ridge of <br />vegetation and attempting to save a par 5 length to the golf hole. Without the impacts as <br />shown, the hole would not be playable. Better play is created by filling in and eliminating <br />the crossover. Wiese said their planning looked at a number of ways by which to play and <br />yet utilize the space available. <br />7 <br />
