ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES FOR JULY 19.1999 (#2479 Peter Andrea Compan/, Continued) Weinberger stated that they have considered other locations but the proposed location works best for the entire development. Cause expressed concerns regarding water runoff, noting that a large amount of wetland exists in this area. Don Cause expressed a concern that the water runoff from the road will go directly into his driveway, noting that he currently is experiencing water runoff from Stubbs Bay Road, and that this issue needs to be addressed further. Gronberg stated that they are proposing to Install a culvert and construct ditches in order to capture the water runoff and div.<;rt it into the holding pond. Hawn stated that the City Engineer will need to review and approve all drainage and grading plans for this subdivision and that the City will need to take appropriate steps to insure that proper drainage is achieved. Hawn inquired what, if anything, could be done to prevent headlights from shining into the Cause's residence. Hawn commented that the trees presently located in that area will help shield It somewhat. Hawn encouraged the developer to discuss this matter with the affected property owner. Gronberg stated they are willing to discuss this issue with the Cause's. Steve Harris, 385 Turham Road, inquired about the road easement in the southwest comer of this development. Weinberger stated that easement was actually a platted road at one time, but the City has never developed it. Weinberger stated that the City requires roads to be platted through if access is needed for future lots and that future access to the west could be created if necessary. Lindquist moved, Berg seconded, to recommend approval of Application #2479, Peter Andrea Company, 555 Stubbs Bay Road North, subject to the conditions outlined in the July 19,1999 Planner’s Report, with consideration being given to turning the road slightly to the south to alleviate the headlight concern.
