MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION <br /> Tuesday,March 15,2021 <br /> 6:00 o'clock p.m. <br /> Mr.Newell replied that is correct...it is so they can get into that pond. <br /> Barnhart said to be clear,he does not know what the full intent is for that property or easement and that is <br /> why they are deferring to their comment. <br /> Mr.Newell stated their intent, once they clear the mortgage, is to actually donate all the wetlands. So,the <br /> property that is directly below Lot 3, those wetlands and the pond would be donated to the Watershed <br /> District. <br /> Gettman asked to go to the second to last page of the packet showing the lots that border the lake. <br /> Mr.Newell noted they do not border a lake. <br /> Gettman understands that. He noted on screen the area below the blue line and asked if those are three <br /> separate,oversized lots that have houses on them;how will they be affected by the wetlands area. <br /> Barnhart does not understand the question. <br /> Gettman noted it is for the Applicant and he is trying to make sure he understands what Mr. Newell is <br /> talking about regarding the wetlands; is the area that has the house right now below that or south of that or <br /> is it the area west of it. <br /> Mr. Newell said it would be north of his house, pretty much due north. It is really where the creek runs <br /> through the property. He clarified it would be the pond and the entire marsh area. <br /> Gettman noted those three properties to the south,those are not Mr.Newell's properties. <br /> Mr. Newell replied no, there is an easement driveway-wise to access those two lots, the point and then <br /> Megan Dayton's home;those two lots at the point. <br /> Gettman was trying to clarify that those two lots will not be affected by this plan. <br /> Mr.Newell replied no,they will still have that same access through the same driveway. <br /> Ressler noted the application as proposed is not to donate those wetlands so it is still intact based on the <br /> application in front of the Commission. He appreciates the color and the clarity as well. <br /> Chair Ressler opened the public hearing at 7:54 p.m. <br /> Chair Ressler closed the public hearing at 7:54 p.m. <br /> Ressler noted the Commission has seen this before and has feedback from the past they can memorialize if <br /> necessary. There were some changes recommended and Staff noted the previous feedback was supportive <br /> of City sewer,but that it is not required. <br /> Barnhart stated previously the Commission suggested it, Staff notes that it is an opportunity but does not <br /> recommend it as a requirement. <br /> Page 19 of 34 <br />
