• ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br />MINUTES FOR SEPTEMBER 15,1997 <br />( #3 - #2294 LGA Investment Group - Continued) <br />Steven Valek, 4720 Tonkaview, lives south of the pond and is concerned with the issue of water <br />drainage. He reported that over 10 acres drain into the pond and outlets through two lots into the <br />ravine. He asked that the primary concern is to address drainage there. He is concerned with the <br />retention of drainage on Lot 1. Valek acknowledged the advantages of a development. <br />Scott Hennessy, 1261 Wildhurst, also voiced concern with water drainage. He reported that a water <br />fall is created over his retaining wall when it rains. He said he loses half of his driveway each year. <br />Lindquist acknowledged this problem. <br />Lindquist said there are concerns with the pond and cul -de -sac. He informed Waters that any impact <br />on the ravine is not acceptable. He suggested another pond area be determined and reviewed by the <br />City Engineer. <br />Smith concurred with Staff s recommendations. <br />Hawn questioned whether a parking lot could be established in the area of the park property adjacent <br />• to the ravine. Gaffron responded that the first goal is to obtain and retain access to the Hennessy <br />property to keep the corridor open. The property is restricted in its development by the DNR. A <br />driveway can only be located across the property; more active uses can occur on the tax forfeit parcel <br />to the west. <br />• <br />Lindquist read into the record a letter from Brian and Sandra Rasmussen, 1186 Wildhurst Trail, <br />related to appropriate development and land management surrounding Forest Lake Bay. <br />Waters said he will do what is required to ensure safety of the neighborhood. He noted it was not <br />the responsibility of the developer to correct existing problems. <br />Helen Overboe was informed that LGA Development is located in Plymouth. <br />Gaffron noted the recommendations made by Staff and suggested the application be tabled based on <br />the changes required. He recommended the Planning Commission review the application at their <br />October meeting before review by Council. <br />Schroeder agreed with Gaffron noting the drainage to be a major issue of concern. He indicated that <br />the drainage is not a function of this property but is a problematic parcel. Schroeder was of the <br />opinion that the development would most likely be a 6 -lot subdivision. <br />17 <br />
