Language in the easement documents shall restrict land <br /> alteration and removal of vegetation in all wetland areas and within 75' of Long Lake Creek. <br /> 5. Conservation easements shall be granted over the conservation areas on proposed lots 3, 4, 5 <br /> and 6. <br /> 6.

Subdivider shall satisfy all concerns and requirements noted in the letter dated <br /> August 14, 2000,by the City Engineer. <br /> Bergh commented the first concern expressed by the Planning Commission at the last meeting <br /> was the small lot size on the north, noting the consensus was to either eliminate a lot or to achieve <br /> bigger lot spacing. Bergh stated by having the roadway as proposed, it will create a better <br /> roadway system and affords the developer the ability to spread the lots out more. <br /> Hawn inquired what the size of the lots on the north side is. <br /> Lindquist stated he would like to know the dry buildable area on each lot. <br /> • Bergh indicated he does not have the numbers with him tonight, but to his recollection Lot 1 <br /> is just over three-quarters of an acre,all dry buildable; Lot 2 is approximately eight-tenths of an <br /> acre,with approximately 80 to 90 percent dry buildable; Lot 7 is all dry buildable, and Lot 3 is <br /> approximately 30 percent dry buildable but still contains a large dry buildable area consisting of <br /> approximately three-quarters to one acre. <br /> Hawn noted the City of Orono has received two letters from residents of Long Lake opposing the <br /> extension of Apple Glen Road. <br /> Hawn noted when the wetlands were remeasured,there was mention made to a ditch that <br /> apparently was not there in 1996 and also to some fill that hadn't been there in 1996. Hawn <br /> inquired where the ditch and fill came from. <br /> Bergh stated he is uncertain of the exact history of the ditch and fill, but a wooden ditch exists in <br /> the area, with the creekway having been re-dug,which reduced the water level in this area. and <br /> resulted in the area becoming dry buildable. Bergh stated the only fill he is aware of is in the area <br /> of Lot 7. <br /> Tom Woolin, 20 Apple Glen Road, stated Apple Glen Road currently has a cul-de-sac, which he <br /> would like to see remain. Woolin stated he is opposed to the extension of the road due to the <br /> extra traffic that it would bring and the additional safety concerns for the young children in the <br /> area that would result from the added traffic. <br /> • Melanie Wollin stated she is in agreement with her husband. <br /> PAGE 7 <br />
