MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION <br /> iviEE i I 'J i1tLD ON FE,E3RULits.Y i 7, i 998 <br /> (#8 - #2338 Grant Wenkstern - Continued) <br /> Gafi-on showed the grading plan. He indicated that once the vegetation is reestablished, it <br /> snouid not change the stormwater patterns. Erosion control is necessary during <br /> construction. Neither pond is in wetland areas. Gaffron did not believe a conservation <br /> and flowage easement was necessary at this time. He telt it such an easement was <br /> required, it should be done for all the ponds on the course. There will be no negative <br /> visual or environmental impacts from the excavation. <br /> Gaffron questioned whether the improvements could be done outside of the 26'wetland <br /> separation. Wenkstern said the purpose is to reinforce the dike. He noted the large pond <br /> flows to Forest Lake, while the other pond flows to North Arm. <br /> Gaffron said Staff recommends approval of the land alteration permit subject to the <br /> creation of a 10:1 bench at the wetland perimeters. Wenkstern said the bench would <br /> result in the creation of cat-tails, which is not acceptable on a golf course. He said the <br /> pond would not be created if the bench is required. Gaffron said the issue is one of safety. <br /> Gaffron said the City Engineer did say he understood the issue a bench creates for a golf <br /> course and would not insist on its creation. Wenkstern noted that one of the ponds being <br /> worked on was originally a pond that had been drained. <br /> 1111 There were no public comments. <br /> McMillan moved, Berg seconded, to approve Application#2338 for a CUP for land <br /> alteration and variance for working within 26' of a wetland per conditions recommended <br /> by Staff with the exception of condition#1 where a 3:1 slope would be allowed in lieu of <br /> the bench. Conditions#2-5 still apply. <br /> Wenkstern indicated he would create a bench for the pond on the north side, if possible. <br /> Vote: Ayes 5, Nays 0. <br /> (#9) #2317 KHASROW DAIVARI, 1082 LOMA LINDA AVENUE- AFTER-THE- <br /> FACT VARIANCES- 9:42-9:55 P.M. <br /> The Certificate of Mailing and Affidavit of Publication were noted. <br /> The Applicant was present. <br /> 18 <br />
