ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br />MINUTES FOR JULY 21,1997 <br />I i <br />; <br />(#16 - #2267 John O'Sullivan for Adam Smith Company - Continued) <br />Berg said she does not see the need for a railing at this time. <br />O'Sullivan said the situation was no different than at other businesses and found it difficult to <br />regulate people's stupidity as far as their safety goes. <br />Schroeder noted the practicality of not having a railing with parking located in the comer. <br />McMillan noted there is a 4' wall. <br />Hawn said she would like a railing in place as originally planned and approved. <br />Lindquist questioned how traffic has influenced the lot. <br />Berg said the Commission should review how the lot was configured and see what was allowed <br />by staff. <br />Hawn said she would vote against the curb cut for safety reasons without minimal safeguards in <br />place. <br />McMillan asked how far the curb cut was from the intersection. Gaffron said it was about equal <br />distance. <br />Smith said she agrees with Hawn but does not like to hold up the plans. She would like to see <br />comprehensive plans for the site without having to access the church property, which she feels <br />intensifies the use. <br />Lindquist agreed with seeing the comprehensive plan for the site. <br />Schroeder said the us(. would be the same but allow for a right turn out onto CoRd 19. He would <br />like to see "zebra" striping to suggest to customers that they walk farther down for safety. <br />McMillan said the traffic flow would be increased down County Road 19. <br />Schroeder moved, Berg seconded, to approve the temporary curb cut with the expectation that it <br />will be reviewed during the phase two construction. Approval would be subject to zebra striping <br />in the crosswalk. Vote: Ayes 2, Schroeder, Berg; Nays 4, Lindquist, Smith, Hawn, McMillan. <br />Motion denied.
