MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION <br /> Monday,June 17,2019 <br /> 6:30 o'clock p.m. <br /> Parker indicated that is the goal. One of the first items they tell the client is that most of the buildings will <br /> likely need to have sprinklers. <br /> Bollis asked why the two new buildings cannot be pushed 10 feet to the north out of the bluff zone. <br /> Parker stated they did rotate the structure, but if those two buildings are pulled back farther,it will <br /> constrict the area between the two buildings to the point where it will be pretty crowded. One of the goals <br /> is to preserve that green space. Without making it a major structure,the building could be up about eight <br /> feet and still have the feeling of a treehouse,which is the reason for pushing it out there somewhat. <br /> Bollis stated even if the buildings were moved back ten feet to be outside of the setback, it appears they <br /> would still have the feeling of a treehouse. <br /> Parker stated if they are pushed back,the second building will encroach upon a fire circle that is <br /> surrounded by trees and the trees will need to be removed. <br /> Doepka noted on Page 44 of the report it appears the cabin is more of a vertical. <br /> Parker indicated what is on the screen is more accurate. The reason it has been oriented that way is to <br /> capture the southern sun because they would like to integrate solar panels at some point. <br /> Doepke stated it appears that at least have of the structures are supported by the beams underneath. <br /> Parker indicated that is correct. <br /> Bollis asked whether they could reduce the size of the building by ten feet. <br /> Parker stated they require all that indoor space and that reducing the size of the buildings would change <br /> that configuration and impact the function of the indoor space. <br /> Erickson stated he has a concern about the statement relating to the sanitary sewer treatment, including <br /> possibly two new connections to the public street. Erickson asked what type of sanitary treatment is <br /> currently being used or is proposed to be used. <br /> Parker indicated the site is connected presently to the municipal system. The line going from the dining <br /> hall pipe is not the size of the program center line and that the goal is to have a single line out to the road. <br /> Parker stated they have not gotten to that level of engineering yet. <br /> Erickson asked if their plan is that all effluent will end up in the municipal sewer. <br /> Parker indicated that is correct. Parker stated it will also be likely that some onsite water storage will be <br /> required for fire suppression since that is not connected to the municipal system. <br /> Libby stated many of the camps he attended were not new and that he can see the practical application of <br /> the proposal. Libby asked how many weeks of the year children will be at the camp. <br /> Zimmerman stated the current summer program is about eight to nine weeks and then five weekends for <br /> sixth graders. They would like to increase some of the weekend time in the fall and spring in order to <br /> Page 13 of 24 <br />
