ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES FOR JUNE 8,1998 (#5) #2308 Brook Park Realty, 3760 Shoreline Drive - continued Jabbour noted the City wishes to work with the applicant and is sensitive to the time issue, but will continue to protect the public health, safety and welfare. Kelley moved, Peterson seconded, to table Application #2308 for Brook Park Realty at the applicant's request, and that there would be a tolling of any tune periods which would otherwise run against the City or the applicant during the continuance periods. Vote: Ayes 5, nays 0. (#6) #2339 JIM RENDER, 1365 TONKAWA ROAD - FINAL PLAT APPROVAL - RESOLUTION NO. 4091 Mr. Render and Mark Gronberg, surveyor, were present. Gaffron reported that the applicant had fulfilled all the conditions of the preliminary plat approval and was now seeking final plat approval. A private road will be constructed that is ending 5' short of the west lot line which forces the City to work with the property owner in the future to continue the road to Birch Lane. The grading plan includes a stormwater pond. The Watershed District originally accepted the plan and later found, under Rule B and because the lot is less than 2 acres, that a permit probably would not have been required. Gaffron explained that a meeting had been held recently with the Watershed District, Mark Gronberg, the City's consulting engineer and staff to discuss general stormwater practices. On some smaller sites, a pond may not be the best solution. Other methods of cleansing stormwater and rate control may be just as effective. NURP ponds require a large area because they require a 10.1 bench for safety purposes. The Walker model NURP pond was developed for 20-40 acre sites. A policy should be developed for the City to handle situations where ponds might be required. Gaffron reported that the existing house is to be removed so a special lot combination will not be required. The three lots each have an established value in excess of $61,250 so the $4,900 maximum park dedication fee per lot will be required. The applicant has requested that he be allowed to do the foundation work for the house on Lot 3 as part of the road grading work because of the pond location. Since there is good access for emergency vehicles from the County road, Gaffron did not think it would be a problem to issue a foundation permit for this lot.
