MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING HELD ON iANU.\PvY 21, 1997 (#7 - #2202 County Road 15 Improvement - Continued) Smith asked what impact the filling of wetlands would have on the wild life in the area. Settles said the reports indicate there will be no impact noting the land is only a long, narrow strip. Smith inquired if there would be any detours or rerouting of traffic. She was informed that the construction would be staged such as half the road would be built at a time allowing for on-going two-lane traffic by use of one lane and the shoulder. McMillan questioned the surcharging. Guy Knowlan said the surcharging will make use of a select granular sand, which over an approximate 6 month period of time will compress the air and water out of the material to allow Class 6 and bituminous to be laid over it. The north side would be affected 1.2 meters and driveways will be left lower to accommodate the surcharging. There were no public comments. Gaffiron informed Lindquist that the Council is considering a ponding agreement but does not wish to delay the project. Polaczyk noted the construction cooperative agreement between Hennepin County and Orono states such language listing the responsibilities regarding maintenance and funding participation between the County and City. He explained the costs regarding right-of-way and construction as well ?ls the City contribution of the Ferndale Cutoff for mitigation. Schroeder moved, Lindquist seconded, to recommend approval of the CUP and variances for alteration of e.xisling wetlands in conjunction with the reconstruction of County Road 15 from Orono Orchard Road to the eastern border of the City with the recommendation that the Council pursue alternate mitigation sites.
