0 <br />MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION <br />MEETING HELD ON OCTOBER 20, 1997 <br />ACTION ITEMS <br />( #4) 92294 LGA INVESTMENTS, JIM WATERS, 1181 WILDHURST TRAIL - <br />CLASS III PRELIMINARY SUBDIVISION - REVISED PLAN - 7:54 -9:07 P.M. <br />The Applicant was present along with Ken Adolph of Schoell & Madson Engineering. <br />Gaffron reported that this is the continuation of a public hearing from the last meeting. A <br />sketch plan review was conducted in April of this year. A 7 -lot plan was reviewed at the <br />last Planning Commission meeting. Recommendations were made at that time, and a <br />newly revised plan has been submitted. <br />Gaffron reviewed the action recommended at the last Planning Commission meeting as <br />noted in the staff memorandum dated 10/17/97. Staff had recommended the City protect <br />the ravine by having it dedicated as a park. The change in pond location resulted in the <br />elimination of one lot for a revised 6 -lot plan. It has been determined that the existing <br />corridor of Garden Lane will be used and not vacated. There will now be one lot on the <br />west side of the road instead of two. A cul -de -sac will be located on the eastern portion <br />of the property for 3 -4 lots. A temporary cul -de -sac to the north of the ravine and in the <br />park property has been revised and will be platted as a permanent cul -de -sac southeast of <br />• the drainageway. Gaffron said some of the issues brought forward by the City Engineer <br />have been addressed; others need review. The 1 acre lot requirement excluding drainage <br />easements will be provided on all lots. <br />0 <br />A wetland delineation report shows three wetlands, 2 of which are in a narrow corridor at <br />the base of the large ravine, and the other being a smaller wetland in lot 5. Gaffron <br />reported the Park Commission has recommended a cash contribution instead of <br />dedicating park land. Gaffron indicated that staff s recommendation for park dedication <br />differs with that of the Park Commission. <br />Gaffron reviewed the comments from the City's landscape architect, the primary issue <br />being the stormwater basin originally proposed for the upper reaches of the ravine. The <br />current proposal for ponding in the area of Lot 1, Block 1, on the north end of the Sollner <br />property, was viewed as being a better location than at the head of the ravine. The <br />applicant had addressed the concerns noted. <br />10 <br />
