MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br /> Monday,August 19, 2002 <br /> 6:30 o'clock p.m. <br /> (#02-2782 ORONO PROFESSIONAL PROPERTIES, Continued) <br /> Dr. Berg felt it would adversely affect those patients receiving dental treatments near the <br /> windows at that corner of the building. <br /> Smith asked if landscape screening could offset the privacy of patients. <br /> Dr. Berg believed landscaping would help, but the tenants would not want to hide the signage. <br /> Smith indicated that more could be done with window dressings to assist in screening. <br /> Mabusth asked if the applicants could commence building a permanent drainage pond as <br /> opposed to the temporary solution proposed earlier. <br /> Gaffron noted that this could be resolved later with the development of properties further to the <br /> east. No one had looked at this question yet, but these details would be worked out prior to final <br /> resolution. <br /> Mabusth inquired about sidewalk access along Kelley Parkway. <br /> Gaffron stated that the sidewalk for this property would straddle their property line, be 6' wide, <br /> 8' off the edge of the pavement and 20' from parking, meeting City requirements. <br /> Mabusth asked if the applicants would be responsible for landscaping along both Kelley <br /> Parkway and Highway 12. <br /> While they do have landscaping requirements, Gaffron noted that the City would need to give <br /> them better definition of what should happen along Kelley Parkway. They will need to submit a <br /> landscaping plan to meet the requirements. The developers of the Dahlstrom property have <br /> suggested that they would provide the City with some ideas of streetscape for Kelley Parkway. <br /> Gaffron stated that the City would obviously like this to match that proposal,but frankly, the <br /> City hadn't gotten that far yet. <br /> Hawn reiterated that no concrete plans can really be made until the City knows if the County will <br /> fill in the ditch. <br /> Gaffron indicated that discussions with the County are in the early stages, and he would consider <br /> holding off on forcing this trail to be built until some of the County decisions are made. <br /> Mabusth cautioned that this could be a ways off. <br /> PAGE 5 of 28 <br />
