MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION <br /> Monday,August 19,2019 <br /> 6:30 o'clock p.m. <br /> Erickson suggested the language say that the engineering staff inspect Heritage Road before and after the <br /> project and be prepared to report on any change in condition of that particular road. <br /> Ressler asked if that is an ordinary request. <br /> Barnhart stated typically the Public Works staff videotapes the street prior to the hauling commencing. <br /> Ressler asked if they are going above and beyond the normal requirement. <br /> Barnhart stated it is helpful if the applicant understands the condition of the road prior to commencement <br /> of the project and that the City will document it as well. <br /> Vogelsang noted there is construction going on outside of Heritage and that he is not sure how the City <br /> will manage that other construction in the immediate vicinity of Tanager Estates. Vogelsang stated he is <br /> totally okay with the City Engineer inspecting the condition of the road but that he does not want to be <br /> responsible for all that other activity and that he is not sure how that is regulated. <br /> Ressler stated prior to any dirt being hauled,the condition of the road will be documented. <br /> Barnhart stated it will be a challenge given the number of projects but that they will look at the site <br /> carefully. Most of the damage in this situation would likely be the curbing but that he will need to consult <br /> with the Public Works staff on how to best document that. <br /> McCutcheon stated they will have to rely on City Staff, City Engineer, and inspectors to note anything <br /> that is unusual. <br /> Ressler concurred it will be difficult to figure out who impacts what but that he is not sure of another way <br /> to do it. It is a public road and gets a lot of use.Any damage that is done from the point of starting to the <br /> end will need to be documented and hopefully there will not be too much of a discrepancy. <br /> Barnhart stated it is not uncommon for an adjoining neighbor to have concerns about the drainage, but <br /> that the City Engineer does not do a detailed review of the grading at this stage because it often changes <br /> prior to building permit being issued. The Planning Commission is well within their bounds to require <br /> that review and Staff will provide the comments of the City Engineer to the Council but not at the stage <br /> where a grading plan can be approved. <br /> McCutcheon moved, Gettman seconded,to recommend approval of Application No. LA19-000058, <br /> West Bay Homes, 1080 Heritage Lane,granting of an interim use permit,subject to Staff's <br /> recommendations as outlined in Staff's report. VOTE: Ayes 4,Nays 0,Libby Abstained. <br /> 7. LA19-000053 CITY OF ORONO,TEXT AMENDMENT,AVERAGE LAKESHORE <br /> SETBACK REGULATIONS,8:16 P.M.— 8:57 P.M. <br /> Barnhart noted this item was discussed at the July Planning Commission meeting and was reviewed by <br /> the City Council at a work session. <br /> Three options were drafted by Staff to address this issue. <br /> Page 14 of 19 <br />
