linDTBS OF TBB PLUmiK COMHISSIOH HBBTIH6 MARCH 20, 1989 <br />HDHICIPAL FACILITT ONRIHUBD w ..v <br />designated wetland. One option would be to have both the <br />adninistration/police and public works facility on this site. <br />Kelley questioned whether the 10.2 acres included the wetlands. <br />Mr. Kroos said the 10.2 was the dry buildable portion of this <br />site. The Min drawback to this site would be the accessibility. <br />There would be a sharp curve in the area of the property that <br />cause a severe turn into the site. If thic site were <br />seriously considered so should a second exit onto Old Crystal Bay <br />Road. <br />The Highway 12/Old Crystal Bay Road site appears to be very <br />buildable, but has severe soils (Glencoe and Dundas). Bellows <br />questioned whether the soils would be tested. Mr. Kroos replied <br />that they would. In looking at the site and taking into <br />consideration the soils and the adjacent properties that border <br />the corners of the property, it would be very difficult to build <br />on this site. Kelley commented that acquiring adjacent property <br />would help alleviate that problem; Kroos concurred. The only <br />access onto this site would be off of Old Crystal Bay Road. <br />Kelley observed that another drawback to this site would be its <br />location in relation to the majority of Orono. <br />Zoning Administrator Mabusth reported that the Police Chief <br />had commented that the police officers are no longer out in a <br />designated "beat" around the clock. Due to this, centrally <br />locating the police department is not crucial. Mr. Kroos added <br />that it would only be beneficial for the administrative offices <br />to be centrally located. <br />A first draft of the evaluation sheets was done and the <br />following options were determined« <br />Option 1 would put City Hall and Police on the present site. <br />Option 2 would put City Hall and Police on the sewer pond <br />site. <br />Option 3 would put City Hall and Police on the Highway 12 <br />site. <br />Option 4 would put City Hall, Police and Public Works on the <br />sewer pond site. <br />Option 5 would put City Hall, Police and Public Works on the <br />Highway 12 site. <br />Option 6 would put Public Works on the sewer pond site. <br />Option 7 would put Public Works on the Highway 12 site. <br />After reviewing these options, it was determined that the current <br />gj^^e would be a good option for locating the City Hall and <br />Police. The sewer pond site is a good option for the Public <br />Works as would the Highway 12 site if the soils are not as severe
