MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO CITY COUNCIL <br />MEETING HELD ON JUNE 12,1995 <br />(#10 - #2022 Robert Mslamed - Continued) <br />Mabusth said the developer is responsible for developing a retention pond, which has not <br />been previously reviewed. The option presented by applicant is for a retention pond at <br />9000 s.f. in area to be located within the designated wetland area. Other options include <br />an area to the east on lot 4. filling the southeast comer on the City wetlands and <br />reclaiming the area. It was noted that it may not be a good idea to have a developer <br />reclaim an area outside of the deveopment. The Watershed District did net realize that <br />the proposed alteration involved a City designated wetland. The wetland is a type 2, and <br />will be upgraded to a type 3 wetland. <br />Melamed said it has been necessary to redig out land on the east side, which is City <br />owned land. It is probable that Melamed will ask the Council to use the City-owned land <br />as he has not been able to initiate any growth after seeding on the filled area. Cook said <br />the City might wish to preserve this land to use for mitigation on City's behalf at some <br />point. Callahan asked if the concern was with storing rain water Mabusth said that was <br />a concern for property when developed and that run off draias on to the City property. <br />Jabbour asked if the land was presently used as a wetland, how can this land be used for a <br />retention pond. The wetland would be expanded in size to accomodate the need. It was <br />noted that it is possible to mitigate in advance and bank for future use. <br />Kelley commented that he would prefer access to come oflf the City driveway but <br />upgraded to a paved road with a cul-de-sac. He suggested if mitigation was needed for <br />the outlot A (the bike trail) to use the City property, to determine what is needed for bike <br />trail mitigation and subtract this portion off and bank it for future use. Cook replied that <br />this was a very difficult segment of land. If the grading was not done at this time, it <br />would probably never be accomplished. <br />While commenting that the bike trail must cross Old Crystal Bay Road at some point, <br />Kelley noted that the Carpenter property was on the other side of the road and abuts <br />Norenberg Park. Hurr said that Norenberg was a restricted area, and it would be better <br />to build the trail on the east side of Old Crystal Bay Road and then cross over. <br />In reaction to a previous comment from Melamed questioning the need to grade a bike <br />trail that doesn't go anywhere, Hurr noted that the Dickey property trail is only a short <br />segment at this time but is already being used by the public. Hurr is in favor of cutting in <br />the trail at this time.
