The proposal involves expansion of the Sth and 18th tees and creation of <br /> ponds in the adjacent lowlands. Both projects are part of the Lakeview Golf <br /> master plan which the City first reviewed in 1995. <br /> b. The adjacency of the tee expansion and pond excavation results in an efficient <br /> land alteration process; materials from creation of the ponds will be used to <br /> create the tee boxes, resulting in a balancing of excavation work on the site <br /> and little (if any) importation/exportation of fill. <br /> c. The areas proposed for excavation to create new ponds are not Orono <br /> designated wetlands and do not appear on the National Wetland Inventory. <br /> d. The pond near the Sth tee expansion will be approximately 6' deep at the <br /> center, and somewhat triangular in shape, being approximately 100' in <br /> diameter and approximately 6,000 s.f. or 0.15 acre in area. This project <br /> • involves the movement of approximately 1,000 cubic yards of material. <br /> . e. The 18th hole improvements involve the excavation of a pond approximately <br /> 60'wide and 200' in length or 12,000 s.f. in area, expansion of the 18th hole <br /> tee boxes,and general filling in a low area near those tee boxes and adjacent <br /> to the 9 acre pond in the east central portion of the course. The 9 acre pond <br /> is listed in the City protected wetland inventory �s a Type 5 wetland, and is <br /> primarily open water. While no filling of the 9 acre pond is proposed, the <br /> proposed grading will be within the 26' wetland setback, hence technically <br /> a variance is required. This portion of the course has been maintained in <br /> mowed grass, and the proposed filling will have no significant added impact <br /> on the quality or quantity of runoff to the 9 acre pond. � <br /> f. Neither proposed pond excavation involves impacts to e�sting wetlands.�The <br /> creation of ponds at these strategic locations on the course will potentially be <br /> of benefit to the watershed in general by creating more runoff storage, <br /> allowing sediments and nutrients to settle or assimilate prior to runoff <br /> discharging to downstream areas in the watershed. <br /> • Page 2 of 6 <br />
