MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br /> Monday,June 15,2015 <br /> 6:30 o'clock p.m. <br /> Leskinen asked if he would like to see a hard date. <br /> Thiesse stated he would like the applicant to set a hard date. <br /> Anderson stated last November through April they pleaded with Staff to be able to bring in soil so the <br /> fields would be ready for planting this spring, but that they have no way of knowing when the green light <br /> will be given. Anderson stated once that green light is given,they would like to do the project as fast as <br /> possible. <br /> Thiesse asked if he has a place to obtain the fill from. <br /> Anderson indicated they have not sourced anything yet because they did not know when the approvals <br /> would be given. Anderson reiterated they will get it done as quickly as possible. <br /> Leskinen stated she is not sure whether 30 days from approval is reasonable or realistic. <br /> McGrann asked if the applicant can say it will be no more than a month once the hauling begins. <br /> McGrann stated he does not want to see one truck a day for 100 days. <br /> Anderson stated he does not want that either and that he has a considerable amount of cost in equipment <br /> and labor. <br /> Landgraver suggested that one of the purposes of the preconstruction meeting be to come up with a target <br /> completion date. <br /> McGrann suggested that date also be shared with the neighbors. <br /> Curtis indicated Staff will be preparing a summary of the preconstruction meeting as well as a list of all <br /> requirements that will be provided to each attendee. <br /> Leskinen asked if the Planning Commission has any thoughts on the screening. <br /> Thiesse commented in his view the site is pretty well screened. <br /> Anderson noted he has purchased almost 80 evergreen trees ranging from 16 to 18 feet in height in <br /> addition to planting maple trees and oak trees. <br /> Landgraver stated he did not see it included in the neighbors' comments. <br /> Thiesse asked if the City has any documentation that it is clean fill. <br /> Curtis stated no documentation has been provided, nor has any been requested. <br /> Anderson stated that is something he can do. <br /> Lemke moved,McGrann seconded,to recommend approval of Application No. 15-3716,Dale <br /> Gustafson on behalf of Mark and Kristen Anderson,3850 Watertown Road,granting of a <br /> conditional use permit subject to the conditions listed in Staffls Report dated June 8,2015; subject <br /> to the applicant having 60 days to submit an application for the retaining walls; subject to a <br /> Page 14 of 53 <br />
