MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br />Monday, November 21,2005 <br />6:00 o’clock p.m. <br />Rahn inquired whether the applicant would be able to revise the landscape plan as well as include a trail <br />easement prior to the City Council meeting. <br />Bohl stated he would be. Bohl stated he has a concern with the trail if he is required to delineate the <br />wetland near the trail. Bohl indicated if he is required to delineate the wetland, he would not be able to <br />have the landscape plan approved until the spring. <br />Winkey inquired if the landscape plan would reflect every item in the report. <br />Bohl stated the AES recommendations would be included in the landscape plan. Bohl noted this site has <br />a considerable amount of buckthorn and other invasive species, which is recommended be removed. Bohl <br />indicated he is in agreement with the AES recommendations. <br />Jurgens inquired whether a developer’s agreement would be entered into on this application. <br />Gaffron stated there would be a RPUD agreement and a separate development agreement that defines <br />what specific items need to be completed by the applicant. <br />Jurgens inquired whether the Council would then approve the development agreement. <br />Oaffron stated the Council would review it and then approve it and that the Planning Commission would <br />not need to approve it. <br />Jurgens inquired whether the applicant is opposed to the ten-foot easement. <br />Bohl stated he is unsure what the City’s expectations are concerning the trail, and questioned who would <br />be maintaining the public trail. <br />Gaflrtm stated if the trail is dedicated to the public, the City would likely maintain it similar to the other <br />trails located throughout the city, but that the Planning Commission could discuss whether it would like <br />the developer to maintain it instead. Gaffron commented it is likely the trail would not be maintained in <br />the wintertime unless die trail needs to be accessed. <br />Rahn noted the Planning Commission spoke last time about the trail helpi.'.g to meet the 10 percent land <br />dedication and not who would be constructing or maintaining the trail. <br />PAGE 4
