■ ■ -. <br />*** <br />MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br />Monday, November 15,2004 <br />6:00 o*clock pjn. <br />(#04-3067 LECY CONSTRUCTION, CONTINUED) <br />be removed from the hardcover calculations since there does not appear to be another option for the snow <br />storage. Leslie stated in his opinion any rock placed in that area would eventually become impervious. <br />Gundlach stated she is not suggesting a border be constructed in that area but is recommending the old <br />rock be removed and new rock be placed in that area. <br />Jurgens stated there does appear to be room to create a windrow on one side or die other and that the <br />applicant could shovel his driveway after the plows go through. <br />Rahn stated to his understanding the plow truck cannot make that comer. <br />Fritzler stated they could use a smaller plow truck like they do for the cul-de-sacs and other smaller areas. <br />Winkey con.mented placing rock in that area is not a viable solution since the rock would get scraped <br />away. <br />Walsh stated the salt in the snow kills the grass and that there is a great amount of snow that is pushed <br />into that area. <br />Gundlach stated she did consult with the Public Works Department and they indicated that that is die only <br />location where they can put the snow due to the angle of the road. Gundlach noted grass would probably <br />not grow in that area, which is why she is recommending landscape rock in that area. <br />Rahn stated the applicant is looking for a common sense solution to the snow storage problem that would <br />benefit both parties. Rahn stated there could possibly be a reduction in the hardcover in that area, but that <br />in his opinion the replacement of the rock mi^t be a waste of time. <br />Walsh indicated it only takes one big snow&ll for that area to be full of snow. <br />Kempf stated in his view this is an exceptional case. <br />Walsh suggested leaving the area alone for a year, but that he would eventually like to resolve the <br />problem. Walsh indicated he does not want to incur the expense of replacing the rock in that area every <br />year. <br />Fritzler stated there still remains excessive hardcover on this lot, and because that area is used for parking <br />at certain times, it should be counted as hardcover. Fritzler suggested placing rock for a couple of feet <br />rather than all the rock that is there. <br />Walsh stated in his opinion that would not be a practical solution since the Public Works Department does <br />utilize that entire area. <br />PAGE 30 <br />III iiiAiyiiiiiiii —-
