ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING SEPTEMBER 17, 1990 <br />ZONING FILE I1590-MINNEGASCO, INC., CONTINUED <br />suitable for this. <br />Mr. Meyer replied, "We did consider other locations, but <br />felt that this location is central to where there is the greatest <br />need. The topography of the land in this location is desirable. <br />We want a flat site that is just off of a major road and is <br />readily accessible to our facilities. As a clarification, we <br />will not be hauling propane as indicated by the City Engineer. <br />We will haul liquified natural gas. The tank truck is a double- <br />v/alled truck with a nickel-steel interior. It is designed to <br />withstand the temperature of the liquified gas which is 260 <br />degrees below zero." <br />Mrs. Rose Mary Vickerman, 425 North Old Crystal Bay Road, <br />asked if there will be much additional traffic resulting from <br />this. <br />Mr. Meyer replied, "The only additional traffic will be the <br />tanker truck on extremely cold days. It will arrive and stay on <br />the site until 9:00 a.m. or so." <br />Mrs. Vickerman stated that there are many schoolbusses in <br />that area around 9:00 a.m. She suggested that the tanker be left <br />on the site until 10:00 a.m. <br />Mr. Meyer stated that they could probably do that. <br />Kelley asked how many times last year such a facility would <br />have been utilized. <br />Mr. Meyer stated <br />three times. He said, <br />may be used more." <br />that the Spring Park facility was used <br />"If we have an unusually cold winter, it <br />Kelley asked if the three to five year term of the <br />Conditional Use Permit was reasonable. <br />Mr. Meyer replied, "We would be in this particular location <br />for a maximum of five years. If the pipe has not been installed <br />by that time, we would find another location." <br />There were no additional public comments and the Public <br />Hearing was closed. <br />Kelley stated that he would prefer to have the 8’ fence <br />screened. He added, "I would also like to require that should <br />the plant material used for screening die, it must be replaced." <br />Mr. Meyer replied, "Our code does not permit us to have <br />vegetation in the area of the facility." <br />- 16 -
