MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br /> Monday, September 21,2015 <br /> 6:30 dclock p.m. <br /> Gaffron stated he is not sure whether it is a 4-ton road or not but that he would guess in the fall it gets <br /> posted the same as the rest of the neighborhood roads. Gaffron stated there is a risk of the roads being <br /> damaged anytime there is construction and that the City would expect the developer to fix whatever is <br /> damaged. <br /> Leskinen stated if it is a 4-ton road, which it likely would be, that would limit construction during the <br /> spring. <br /> Gaffron stated he would like to separate the construction of the road from the building of the homes. <br /> Gaffron asked how long the developer anticipates construction of the cul-de-sac will take. <br /> Steadman stated a lot of it depends on the weather and the time of the year,but if they get started in April <br /> or May, he would assume it would be complete in two to three months. <br /> Leskinen stated after that it would involve the building of the three homes and that it appears the biggest <br /> impact will be for a few months while the cul-de-sac is being constructed. <br /> Thiesse asked if it is a borrow site for the cul-de-sac or an excess site. <br /> Gronberg indicated the cul-de-sac has some cut in it and some of the starts to the homes. Gronberg stated <br /> they should be able to use the dirt on site. <br /> Thiesse noted there will be no trucks hauling any dirt out or in but that there will be some concrete trucks <br /> hauling in concrete and bituminous. Thiesse stated that should not result in a lot of trucks. <br /> Leskinen stated she would like to have some type of schedule for when that will be delivered to the extent <br /> possible. <br /> Steadman stated their objective is to build it as quickly as they can. <br /> Leskinen stated it appears the Planning Commission is leaning towards not requiring the temporary <br /> accessroad. <br /> Landgraver stated the residents have been very adamant with their safety concerns but that there would be <br /> larger environmental impact with the temporary road,which is something the City might want to avoid. <br /> Landgraver stated he also is leanin�towards not requiring a construction road. <br /> Landgraver noted the other issue that was raised concerned the outlots,but that the outlots for lake access <br /> is not something the City of Orono would be involved with. <br /> Gaffron stated that is something that came up at the last minute, although it was discussed months ago <br /> with the possibility that it was not necessarily intended that someone would have land access from these <br /> three lots but would take a smaller boat around to where those larger boats would be docked on Shoreline. <br /> Steadman stated their objective is property owners with a larger boat who cannot get under the Tanager <br /> Bridge would have the ability to dock a boat at one of those docks on Smith Bay. Steadman stated there <br /> are outlots on the neighboring property to the east in the Green Trees neighbarhood, which are very <br /> Page 8 of 46 <br />
