ORONO crry council meeting <br />MINUTES FOR MAY 10,1999 <br />George W. Stickney, continned) <br />DNR also needs time to review the new plan. Another issue is the request for a 10-foot <br />easement for a bike trail. • • <br />• • <br />• • •* * •*••*•* <br />Kelley asked where'the culvert underneath the Luce'Lihe is located. <br />Weinberger showed the location of the culvert <br />I <br />' i <br />Kelley said he finds it hard to believe that the culvert is not located in the wetland. He said <br />that water flow is a major issue for this property. <br />Gronberg said that the wetland delineator went back to the property after the growing season <br />started and marked off the wedands. He said .there is the same situation on the Old Cry^ <br />Bay addition to tiie north where there are two different types of wetlands. He said in ^e.past, <br />die policy has been to place an easement over the Orono wetlands, drainage easements over <br />drainage ways and then wnte additional easements to cover the other wetlands, but they are <br />filed as a separate document <br />Jabbour said that staff would like to have additional time to figure out if the proposal will <br />adequately handle the surface water drainage. Jabbour asked why staff just received this <br />information. <br />• *• <br />Weinberger said that the City just received the report firom the wetiand delineator. <br />Stickne'* said that John Anderson had done the wetlands off from the best aerial photos and <br />wetiand maps tiiat are avkiable to the City. His report now says that most of the wetlands are <br />Type 1 and 2 which are walkable wetlands. <br />Jabbour smd that staff is having a problem determining if tiiie drainage is adequate and the <br />City Engineer has not had a chance to look at it He a^ed if the applicants would object to <br />tabling &e matter for two weeks. <br />Elizabeth Hawn, Plarming Commission Representative, said she is concerned about the City <br />tflV1n£ an easement jn^t^ad of fee title, for the bike traU because the property owntf may be ■ <br />liable if there is an accident on the bike trail.# '4 <br />City Attorney Barrett said he feels the property owner would not be liable because it is a City <br />easement and a City constructed trail, but he can look at it further and give the Council an <br />opmioiL <br />Pages
