MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION <br />WORK SESSION HELD ON DECEMBER 15, 1997 <br />closer to the homes. This circumstance should be reflected in the code with definition of <br />where buffers will occur. She would like to see the code begin with buffering, which is <br />not as restrictive, with further restrictions added at a later date if found to be necessary. <br />Gaffron reviewed the purpose of the ordinance in Exhibit F. McMillan voiced her <br />satisfaction with the purpose as stated. Schroeder felt conservation enhancement should <br />receive more notice. Lindquist agreed with having the ordinance and policy. Hawn felt <br />the last sentence under Subd. 1 should say "may" be required, rather than "shall ". <br />Gaffron said the impression he has received from the Commissioners is that the policy is <br />more intense than they prefer with requirements going beyond what is desired. <br />Schroeder felt the main purpose is to preserve, protect, and establish wooded buffer areas <br />and not necessarily to protect significant stands of trees. <br />Smith noted that the reference is to what currently exists on a property rather than what <br />can be added. Schroeder felt that buffering and tree preservation should be addressed <br />first. <br />Hawn asked about the need for tree surveys. Lindquist said the surveying is mentioned in <br />the draft policy but may not be necessary. Gaffron asked and received positive feedback <br />whether there was a preference for defining the category or characteristics of properties <br />that need inventories. Hawn said she would like to know what it would cost to inventory <br />a one acre wooded lot. Gaffron said he would investigate the cost. <br />12 <br />
