Code would allow seating up to 288 based on the 48 spaces shown for parking.

The baseball field expansion includes batting cages, a 24* X 36' storage building, play lot and announcer’s booth. West of the existing fields the OBA is proposing to replace an existing storage shed with a larger shed and expand the parldng area along the entrance drive. A wooded ravine separates the baseball fields from the school property. The ravine is a designated wetland. The proposed improvements do not encroach >vithin the protected area around the ravine. The City of Orono’s 1974 wetland inventory did not classify any of the wetland on the property as protected, however the ravine and wetlands are protected by WCA regulation and do appear on the National Wetlands Inventory. A wetland basin is located at the northwest comer of the site where County Road 6 and Old Crystal Bay Road intersect. The new ball field does not impact that wetland basin. There are no lights proposed for the field. Code does not permit any source of light be visible at any proper^ line. ' property is located adjacent to the Willow* View development.
