Setback for Right Field Fence Fence regulations prohibit any fence from exceeding 6’ in height along the east property line where the right field fence is located as well as a bullpen. The final set of plans shall indicate fence heights to determine if a variance is required to exceed 6'. A fence can not exceed 6* when within 30 ’ of the property line. RavineAV etiands A wooded ravine separates the baseball fields from the school property. The ravine is a designated wetland. The proposed improvements do not encroach within the protected area around the ravine. The City of Orono ’s 1974 wetland inventory did not classify any of the wetlands on the property as protected, however the ravine and wetlands are protected by WCA regulation and do appear on the National Wetlands Inventory. All grading plans are required to be approved by the City Engineer prior to any land alteration occurring on site. The Miimehaha Creek Watershed District may require, an amendment to the permit previously granted (#94-59) for the stormwater management plan and stream crossing when the road was constructed. A wetland basin is located at the northwest comer of the site where County Road 6 and Old Cr> stal Bay Road intersect. The new ball field does not impact that wetland basin. Parking The plans do not indicate the total seating capacity for the bleachers. Code would allow seating up to 288 based on the 48 spaces shown for parking. The Code determines parking for athletic fields as 1 parking space for each six seats of capacity. Each 22 inches of bleacher space devoted to seating is counted as one seat when determining design capacity for the bleachers. Any bleacher space devoted to aisle or any other purposed is not considered seat space. Lighting There are no lights proposed for the field. Any lighting used within concession stand areas shall be installed and shielded to not expose the light source, per code requirements. «0i*2703 Orono Baseball Association 1030 Old Costal Bay Road S/20/01 Page 3 of 5
