ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br />MINUTES FOR APRIL 10,2000 <br />requested to be vacated at this time. The Lafayette Ridge Homeowners Association owns <br />the east 33 feet of Navarre Lane. There is a large wetland pond in the outlot owned by <br />the Lafayette Ridge Homeowners Association. Easements would have to be obtained or <br />the outlot would have to be obtained from the Lafayette Ridge Homeowners Association. <br />Also a utility easement would have to be taken over that area. <br />The City Engineer has stated concerns regarding the grading of the property and 2 <br />retaining walls. One would form the edge of the pond and would exceed 15 feet in height <br />with a portion of it under water. The other would be located along Olive Lane and would <br />permit pedestrian traffic from Olive Lane to County Road 19. <br />Finally, four underlying lots would have to be combined into 1 tax parcel. There are no <br />standards in the B-5 code as to amount of permitted signage. Staff has determined that B- <br />1 and B-3 district standards are suitable for the B-5 zone. This allows 1 s.f. of signage for <br />every foot of frontage along the property’ line, so this property is allowed 380 s.f of <br />signage. The proposed signage is 350 s.f. at this time. The landscaping plan has been <br />submitted. Green space areas would be vegetated with 20-25 trees, a row of arborvitae <br />along the retaining wall and sidewalk, and soine screening between the residential and <br />commercial sites. <br />The Planning Commission had an issue with the proposed pedestrian walkway.
