MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br /> MONDAY,OCTOBER 15,2001 <br /> (#01-2711 WSESTERN STEEL,CONTINUED) <br /> E. A final drainage plan,based on required paving and regrading, shall indicate drainage patterns <br /> and stormwater detention areas or drainage areas to properly manage stormwater flowing over <br /> and leaving the property. <br /> F. The site plan shall indicate all proposed parking areas,paving limits,parking lot striping,parking <br /> areas for crane equipment and company vehicles, and open drive space for access and mobility <br /> on-site as well as emergency vehicle access. <br /> Mrs. Jochims stated the reason they would prefer not to pave the parking and outdoor storage areas is <br /> the heavy equipment that will be moved over the area. Jochims stated in the long-term the <br /> blacktopping would become a maintenance issue,with the gravel holding up better. Jochims stated <br /> while they were in Long Lake they used gravel for their outdoor storage and parking areas,which was <br /> very well maintained and worked well for their needs. <br /> Hawn expressed concern that blacktop would be better in the event of an oil spill. <br /> Mrs. Jochims stated any spills would be contained in a cement crypt, which they are required by law <br /> to have. <br /> Hawn stated she was thinking more in terms of oils leaks from the equipment in the outside storage <br /> area. <br /> Mrs. Jochims stated there is a very slight possibility that that would happen, noting they take very <br /> good care of all their equipment. <br /> Hawn opened the hearing up for public comment. <br /> There were no public comments regarding this application. <br /> Lindquist inquired whether the Applicants are agreeable to blacktop the employee parking area. <br /> Mrs. Jochims stated they would also prefer to keep that area gravel,noting the traffic in and out of <br /> that area is very minimal and would not create much dust. <br /> Lindquist inquired whether the Applicants would be agreeable to putting in additional landscaping <br /> between the fence and the line of trees along Highway 12. <br /> Mrs. Jochims stated they are planning to construct a solid fence along the front of the property, but <br /> would be agreeable to putting in additional landscaping in that area. <br /> Stoddard inquired how many feet of chain link fence the Applicant is proposing to erect. <br /> Mrs. Jochims stated the chain link fence would go around the rear perimeter of the property. <br /> Mr. Jochims stated they are planning to do something similar to what ABC has done on their <br /> property. <br /> PAGE 3 <br />
