MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION Monday, August 19, 2019 6:30 o’clock p.m. _____________________________________________________________________________________ 2. LA19-000054 JOHN KRAEMER & SONS ON BEHALF OF OCBR 1, 855 OLD CRYSTAL BAY ROAD SOUTH, 6:49 P.M. – 6:58 P.M. Anthon Ellis, Charlie & Company Design, was present. Curtis stated a new home is being built on the property and will involve the export of approximately 3,200 cubic yards of material from the site to accommodate the proposed home. As a result, an interim use permit is required. The applicant proposes to export the material from the site out of the City. The proposed haul route is north on Old Crystal Bay Road South to County Road 112 and then west on County Road 112 to Maple Plain. Staff finds the proposed plan conforms to the standards of the IUP review. The material removal activity will be tied to the building permit for the new residence. The City Engineer will review the revised grading plan for conformance. No public comments have been received. The Little Orchard homeowners’ association has approved the property owner’s request to connect a driveway from the subject property to Little Orchard Way. Planning Staff recommends approval of the IUP to export approximately 3,200 cubic yards of material in accordance with the City Engineer’s requirements associated with the overall building permit. Gettman noted at the July Planning Commission meeting there was a resident that was complaining about the truck noise and asked whether there is any additional guidance that can be communicated to the hauler. Curtis stated the contractors vary in how they handle the hauling, but it has been her experience that this contractor is very proactive in that respect. As part of the IUP request, the neighbors are notified and a public hearing is held. Gettman asked whether the City is contemplating requiring anything in addition to what is normally required. Curtis stated in her view it is not necessary in this situation and that this is a totally different situation from the project on Walter’s Port. Ressler noted the majority of the roads are county roads. Anthon Ellis, Charlie & Company Design, stated he has nothing to add to Staff’s report. Chair Ressler opened the public hearing at 6:55 p.m. There were no public comments. Chair Ressler closed the public hearing at 6:55 p.m. Gettman stated he has no issues with the application.
