MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br />Monday, June 17,2002 <br />6:30 o’clock p.m. <br />(#02-2793 REVIS STEPHENSON HI, Continued) <br />Rahn expressed his empathy to the neighbors who would be subject to a new series of trucks disrupting <br />their lives this summer, who, of course, feel it is an easier course of action to let it all go. <br />Smith asked for Mr. Stephenson's feedback regarding page 3, of the staff recommendations. <br />Mr. Stephenson stated that item #3 of page 3 had been addressed by providing adjacent property owner <br />support. Item #2, with regard to the grade, Mr. Stephenson maintained that the 2.9 grade is e.xtremely <br />close to the 3:1 slope that was approved and should be allowed. In reference to item #1, wetland <br />encroachment, Mr. Stephenson stated that he would be more than happy to remove the fill that had <br />overflowed into the wetland area without having to shave the whole hill back. <br />Fritzler questioned if the applicants crew was running equipment beyond the silt fencing and w hy. <br />Mr. Stephenson indicated that small machinery had been used. <br />Fritzler then asked how far into the wetland the applicants property extends and what he removed. <br />Mr. Stephenson stated that his property extends 100’ into the wetland and that he removed much of the <br />buckthorn at his own expense. <br />Smith referred to page 4, the remedies to settle the issues, and asked for comment. <br />Weinberger reiterated that the entire project exceeded the approved SOO cubic yards of alteration and in <br />order to maintain the required 3:1 slope the entire slope will need to be shaved in order to pull the hill <br />from the wetland. Currently at 36, versus the required 33, Weinberger questioned how the Commission <br />felt about the encroachment into the wetland. <br />Mr. Stephenson asked what could be done to keep the restored wetland buffer in tact. <br />PAGE 20 OF 42 <br />1 <br />4
