MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING — SEPTEMBER 16, 1991 <br />ZONING FILE #1676 — CONT. <br />• Cook explained since the City owns this land, it is the <br />recommended site. This site also gets the tower as far away as <br />possible from the well site and provides better fire protection <br />as it provides two sources of water for fire fighting. <br />Johnson felt that this is an appropriate site and it is nice <br />to have all public facilities and the tower together. <br />Moos agreed with Johnson and noted that she would like to <br />see the sleekest design built. <br />Cook noted that the preferred two styles will be bid on and <br />the lowest priced style will be constructed. <br />Cohen asked about the feasibility of adding an antenna to <br />the tower design. <br />Mabusth indicated that it could potentially be added, and <br />she noted that the amendment to the code regarding this very <br />issue will be scheduled at an upcoming Planning Commission <br />meeting. <br />Schroeder asked what the anticipated cost of the tower is. <br />Cook noted that it is between $550,000 and $600,000. <br />Johnson advised that trees can easily be used for screening <br />• a structure as this. <br />Mabusth asked the Planning Commission to comment on the <br />setback of the tower. She asked if the setback should be from <br />the base, which is thirty feet in diameter, or should the setback <br />be from the bowl at a 70' diameter. The Commission voted 3 -2 in <br />favor of the setback being measured from the base of the tower. <br />u <br />It was moved by Johnson, seconded by Schroeder, to recommend <br />approval of application #1676 City of Orono for property located <br />at 700 Old Crystal Bay Road North to construct a water tower on <br />the site.
