MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING Monday, October 16, 2017 6:30 o’clock p.m. _____________________________________________________________________________________ Page 4 of 5 Alcon stated the two major items are relocating the road, which will help the lake quality, and then maintaining the sanitary sewer. No new lift stations are required and quite a bit of hardcover will be removed down near the lake. Alcon noted water will be provided via private wells and the underground storage tank that was for fire protection will be removed because the fire chief has indicated he would not use it. Lemke asked if there are any issues with the grass pavers. Alcon stated to his knowledge there are not and that Mark Gronberg is the surveyor on the project and he has used them in the past at the Long Lake Library. Thiesse encouraged him to get in touch with the neighbors. Brian Benson noted they have a meeting scheduled with the owner who owns two of the three lots on Monday and that they have also reached out to a couple of other people but have gotten no response. Another neighbor asked whether the main house is staying and the other family is moving. Alcon noted the 45-foot radius continues on through the corner and connects into the private road as opposed to the curved hammerhead. Schoenzeit asked how the proposed grading for the homes will compare to what is there. Alcon stated they will be custom graded lots. Benson stated they might do a custom grading plan for Lot 5 since it is low and flat. Schoenzeit asked if these homes will have foundations or be slab on grade. Benson indicated Lot 2 would be a walkout, Lot 3 would be a walkout, Lot 4 might be a lookout, and then Lot 5 will likely need to be built up. Benson stated they are waiting to get feedback from this meeting and then they will explore that a little bit more.
