MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br />Monday, August 19, 2002 <br />6:30 o'clock p.m. <br />(#02-2819 TIM DEVRIES, Continued) <br />Mr. Robin maintained that, with regard to condition #6, the applicant would locate light fixtures <br />on the east side pointing west. Although the electrical will be built, there were no definite plans <br />for the type of fixtures proposed. <br />Smith asked what hours the lights would be lit. <br />Mr. Robin stated that he assumed they would be lit during the early evening hours in winter, <br />when it gets darker earlier, to allow the children time to play on the rink. He estimated the lights <br />would be lit from 7:30 p.m. -9:30 p.m. He indicated that the lights would not be attached to a <br />timer, but would be required to be turned on or off manually. <br />Smith stated that the timer idea was to ensure that the lights did not get left on. <br />Mr. Robin indicated that the electrical supply could be attached to a timer, but he would still <br />design the lights to only be turned on manually, and as the electrical supply was cut, the lights <br />would assuredly be turned off. <br />Smith asked if the applicant was amenable to working with the neighbor. <br />Mr. Robin believed that the applicant intended to be good neighbor and allow no light sources to <br />go beyond the property lines, however, he would want to be able to use the rink in the evenings <br />as well. <br />Smith reminded the applicant that the deciduous trees would offer a different lighting perspective <br />in the winter than they do now. <br />Smith questioned the applicant with regard to condition #5. <br />Gaffron asked that the applicant assure the City that it would be removed. <br />Mr. Robin stated that he would submit a revised plan showing that they have accomplished the <br />removal of the additional fill within the 26' buffer. <br />Smith asked Gaffron for his opinion pertaining to condition #3. <br />Gaffron stated that he would recommend that the Commission support the position that a copy of <br />the notification document be attached to the file to make everyone aware that they may have to <br />deal with WCA or MCWD later. He added that this has been done on a number of subdivisions <br />Ill <br />PAGE 22 of28
