MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br /> Monday, October 20, 2003 <br /> 6:00 o'clock p.m. <br /> (#6) #03-2923 STEVAN WAGNER, 3607 SHORELINE DRIVE, Continued <br /> Chair Smith asked for comment on gravel versus blacktop. <br /> Mabusth stated that she believed that gravel had been recommended by the Engineer the <br /> last time due to the business' proximity to the wetlands. <br /> Wagner pointed out that, long ago, gravel was not considered hardcover and was <br /> preferable to blacktop in containing some of the runoff. <br /> Mabusth suggested the City allow that some kind of concrete pad be placed near the tanks <br /> and wetland for containment purposes, a waste trap. She further suggested that the western <br /> access drive be paved if the Engineer agrees. <br /> Woody believed the Engineer would support a paved apron on the west. <br /> Hawn recommended the applicant gather this information and report back to the <br /> Commission. <br /> Wagner stated that he was facing time restraints if he were forced to wait to report back <br /> next month. <br /> Hawn suggested the Commission review the application and schematic during their <br /> November work session. <br /> Chair Smith asked if the Commission found the exterior finish and sign acceptable. <br /> Hawn stated that, personally, she would prefer horizontal,but was comfortable with the <br /> sign and siding as proposed. <br /> Wagner stated that the proposed sign would not be as tall and extend less close to the road <br /> than the existing sign. <br /> Rahn stated that the proposed sign did not seem out of place. <br /> Chair Smith suggested the applicant supply the Commission with specific detail, a lighting <br /> and landscaping plan, runoff and drainage plans, stalls,bays, etc. before they move the <br /> application forward to Council. She recommended the applicant also consider overhead <br /> doors and paving the west entrance, subject to the Engineer's report. <br /> Wagner stated that he would get those items done to meet the work session deadline. <br /> Mabusth asked what the shed was used for in the back and suggested that it be moved in <br /> order to use its current location to store other items out of sight. <br /> Page 12 of 29 <br />
