• MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br /> Monday,October 17,2005 <br /> 6:00 o'clock p.m. <br /> (#05-3131 Steve Bohl,Continued) <br /> Gronberg stated it is possible to design the house to make the encroachment slightly less than that,but the <br /> developer would prefer to leave the size of the house on Lot 8 as is. Gronberg stated the 10-foot variance <br /> would be the maximum. <br /> Gronberg illustrated the proposed vegetation plan,noting a row of tall cottonwoods exist in that area, <br /> which are proposed to remain. Gronberg stated they are proposing some spruce trees in that area as well <br /> as some other vegetation on the site. Gronberg stated they are attempting to create a perimeter of trees <br /> around the development to decrease the visibility from Willow Drive. <br /> There were no public comments concerning this application. <br /> Rahn inquired whether the Park Commission has reviewed this application. <br /> Gaffron stated the Park Commission recommended a ten-foot trail easement along the western edge of the <br /> property. Gaffron stated he did not know whether the Park Commission looked at the topography of the <br /> entire site. <br /> Gronberg stated the developer would be willing to grant the easement. <br /> Bremer inquired whether the Park Commission would like the trail to continue down into the <br /> development. <br /> Gaffron stated to his belief they would be in support of that,but noted the Park Commission has not <br /> reviewed the latest revised plan. <br /> Rahn commented it appears that there is quite a bit of screening from Willow Drive. <br /> Gronberg stated there would be screening from Willow and screening for the subdivision. <br /> Leslie stated he would prefer to see 14-foot trees planted as a way of reducing the visual impact of the <br /> development. <br /> Fritzler inquired whether Commissioner Leslie would prefer evergreen trees. <br /> Leslie commented he would like to see evergreen trees. <br /> Gronberg concurred that it is important to get some type of evergreen in that area to help screen the <br /> development. <br /> Bremer inquired whether Staff would need additional landscape plans. <br /> Gaffron stated Staff has only seen the landscape plan tonight and that he has not had an opportunity to <br /> review it closely. <br /> PAGE 3 <br />
