i: <br />MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br />Monday, October 21,2002 <br />6:30 o*clock p.m. <br />With 6-8’ High beim and peaks in t!.o middle and on the ends, Wiens stated that it was his desire <br />to cut down on the amount of traffic noise he was exposed to. <br />Weinberger agreed with Gaffion that the plan provided to the City looks to be indicative of <br />merely 4 ’ high berm peaks. <br />Wiens stated that the plans were incorrect if they reflect a 4 ’ berm. <br />Bremer stated that the applicant’s summary refers to an 8’ high berm. <br />Weinberger noted that, if the scale is 1 ’, the berm would be far wider than 20’. <br />In order to maintain a 3:1 slope, Gaffron pointed out that the base would need to be twice as <br />wide. <br />Rahn felt the Commission would need to be supplied with a new drawing. <br />Wiens questioned whether he could proceed with this drawing. <br />Norma Godfrey maintained that the highest center point of the berm would fall directly across <br />the street from her residence and she was concerned about having to view a big pile of dirt, as in <br />other locations in the neighborhood. <br />Wiens stated that it was his desire to construct a berm and he was willing to work with the <br />neighbors to do so. <br />Chair Smith pointed out that the applicant had agreed to accept the 4 ’ high berm in order to move <br />the application forward, and she questioned whether this lower berm would satisfy the neighbors. <br />Page 4 of 42 <br />1
