MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br />Monday, November 18, 2019 <br />6:30 o’clock p.m. <br />_____________________________________________________________________________________ <br /> <br />Page 45 of 46 <br /> <br />Bollis stated he was correct. <br /> <br />Barnhart asked if there were any other issues the Commission would like him to share with the City <br />Council. <br /> <br />McCutcheon said the safety of the road is a big issue because there are no lights in Orono, especially if <br />someone is lost or for UPS drivers. It is one thing when you have one person's driveway who has driven it <br />their whole life, but when you open it up to the public, it’s a concern. <br /> <br />Thiesse commented the UPS guy will be thrilled he has a turnaround instead of backing all the way up. <br /> <br />Ressler said if it wasn't for the fact that the Commission would be approving an emergency vehicle <br />turnaround and the cul-de-sac, he is not sure he would be in support of anything being subdivided. If that <br />is something that benefits the rest of the peninsula, he could see perhaps another house next to the <br />structure that is there right now as long as it is within lake yard setback requirements. It is potentially the <br />one that does show up on what the Commission has been looking at under Lot 1 but under the same <br />premise, which appears that it would not meet the lake yard setback at best. <br /> <br />Thiesse asked whether floodplain fill was outside of the Commissioners' jurisdiction and clarified the <br />applicant would have to get permits elsewhere. <br /> <br />Barnhart said the Commissioners would have to approve a Conditional Use Permit for any fill. He <br />confirmed they would get permits elsewhere but also from the Commission. Standards have been adopted <br />in the City Code, and the Commissioners would apply those to that type of application. He stated he has <br />feedback to share with the applicant and City Council and then it can move forward. <br /> <br />13. PLANNING COMMISSION LIAISON FOR 2020 <br /> <br />Barnhart asked for approval of the schedule provided, noting that if subs are needed, adjustments could be <br />made. He requested a motion to adopt the schedule for 2020. He stated he tries to keep everyone in order. <br /> <br />The Commissioners worked out conflicts so all the meetings were covered. Changes include: Bollis will <br />cover the March meeting, Gettman will cover the April meeting, and Libby will cover the October <br />meeting. <br /> <br />Thiesse moved, Gettman seconded, to approve the amended proposed schedule. VOTE: Ayes 7, <br />Nays 0. <br /> <br />14. UPDATE ON NOVEMBER 12, 2019 CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br />TIME CHANGE FOR PLANNING COMMISSION MEETINGS <br />
