.oULAR MEETING OF THE ORONO COUNCIL, AUGUST 15, 1978 <br />This extension is a proposal ‘to dredge the channel <br />and l.agoon on the Morris, Hannah and Hepp properties. <br />The method is to be the same as that used in the main <br />channel with the suction dredge Used to remove muck <br />dovm to elevation 924-t- 6". <br />Surface area:approximately 10* X 90' channel <br />approximately 75* X 100*.lagoon <br />pond depth at completion; 4*-5' <br />Estimated 400-600 cu. yards of spoils to be deposited <br />in the FHBI spoils pond. <br />There is an existing walk bridge over the channel <br />which is to be removed and then replaced upon <br />completion of the work. With this bridge inplace, <br />there is no navigable access to the lagoon. <br />To date, the City engineer and I have inspected <br />the existing dredging operations several times and <br />no adverse comments. We have not, however, <br />received any of the monitor reports on water quality. <br />Perhaps these should be required prior to expansion <br />of the permit. <br />Planning Commission Meeting - August 14, 1978 <br />Work Session review. Dewey Lindsay (dredge operator) <br />and John Hannah (property owner) present. Other <br />owners Hepp and Morris have supplied written approval <br />of the proposal. <br />Page 18 4,i <br />CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT j <br />West Shore Lafayette Bay * <br />(Continued) j <br />f <br />Mr. Lindsay noted that he does not intend to dredge <br />the channel but only the lagoon itself. He said the <br />DNR has tentatively approved expansion of the other <br />(1319) permit to include this work and that the MCWD <br />review the appli •nation on August 17-, 1978. They <br />requested immediate action because approval would <br />allow work to continue while the dredge is in the <br />vicinity while delay would make the project unfeasible <br />Proposal is for esthetic improvement only and not for <br />riparian access. Mr. Hannah intends to keep bridge <br />inplace and to place an aerator in the lagoon during <br />the summer. <br />Planning Commission was concerned with Hannah's <br />house construction and tfl6 exeavateamarerial being <br />iaaoon. Planning Commission was also <br />concenied whether dredging for esthetic purposes <br />was reasonable or not. They were concerned that <br />FWBI had not supplied any test reports on the <br />existing project. After lengthy discussion and <br />several motions, Wilson moved and Hassel seconded <br />to take action at work session and to pass on to <br />the Council a recommendation for approval of the <br />s <br />(Continued) <br />k L -- - - -
