MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION <br />MEETING HELD ON NOVEMBER 17, 1997 <br />Zomeren noted there is no history in Orono of similar townhouse development and <br />questioned whether this should be maintained or changed. Livingston Avenue design is <br />not built to a 30 mph speed and the radius should be increased to 275 ft. or reduced speed <br />warning signs installed, which Staff recommends. The City Engineer also asks that a <br />typical street section be provided to verify the proposed pavement design. <br />Van Zomeren said the landscape consultant has indicated that the revised plan is an <br />improvement and noted the identification has been provided for the larger stands of trees. <br />The preserv'auon level of trees is at about 50%. <br />Van Zomeren said it was her opinion that the application be tabled to the January meeting <br />in order for review of fire department and engineering recommendations. Since there is a <br />two month span of time, Van Zomeren said a recommendation could be based by the <br />Planning Commission based on the comments received by the City Engineer and <br />landscape consultant. <br />Mr. Gleason said he received a letter dated November 13 from the landscape architect. <br />Van Zomeren reported that she had not received it. A copy was given to Van Zomeren <br />for her immediate review. <br />Gleason said the 6 w'ater line will come to the property line and there had been concern <br />over the amount of water flow. As far as looping the main or sprinkling the units, <br />Gleason said he would do what is required and asked if there was a way that the system <br />could be looped. Gappa said he was unfamiliar with it and would have to review the <br />layout to see if enough water could get to the location. <br />8
