City of Orono <br /> , Application#06-3202 <br /> Conditional Use Perinit for Camp Teko Swimming Beach <br /> April 19,2006 <br /> , Page 3 <br /> IMPROVEMENTS <br /> Tlle attaclled plans detail the planned improvemeiits. All iinprovements will be implemented <br /> using appropriate protection measures (silt feuces, constri.iction tecluuques, etc.). � <br /> BEACH: To reduce erosion on the beach, due iiiostly to the steep slope and wave action,we <br /> settled on a 31eve1 terraced beach area. Each sand-f lled terrace is about 12 inches above tlie <br /> next, suitable for sitting oii the sand and climbiiig dowiti to the water. The two terrace walls will <br /> be consi�ucted of decorative, inter-lockiiig,retainnig-wall blocks. Because it is an active beach <br /> area, we do not plan any sort of landscapiiig in front of the walls. Only about 12 iilches of stone <br /> height will be exposed. <br /> Fabric-covered drain-tile will be installed in the areas beneath the sand behind the walls, and will <br /> daylight uito gravel draiiis at the ends of the terraces. <br /> � The shoreliiie will be protected 'ui the long-terxn by planted aquatic plants wluch will protect the <br /> lowest level of the beach from wave action and erosion. Coir logs (coconut fiber) are installed to <br /> stabilize�lie shoreline wlule the plants root. <br /> GR.AVEL ROAD <br /> Treated lumber(2x6")will be placed at urtervals across the 350 feet of gravel path, and keyed <br /> into the adjacent slopes. Tlus will reduce the rutting-impact of running water on the gravel, and <br /> divei�t the water onto the adj acent slopes. <br /> GRADING <br /> The area at the top of tlie gravel paths will be graded to reduce the aniount of water-flow down <br /> the paths. The diversion will send the water uito an existuig swale on the lullside. <br /> MAINTENANCE <br /> Camp Teko will mauztain these new feahires as needed. We anticipate verv little loss of sand <br /> from the beach,wluch will be a major improvenzent over past years when much of the sand <br /> would disappear. <br /> SCHEDLTLE <br /> Construction will begin as soon as approvals are granted. Camp begins June 19. Construction is <br /> planned to take 10 working days. � <br /> APPROVALS <br /> The Minnehalia Creek Watershed District has�.p�roved the plans. <br /> A represeiitative of Temple Israel/Cainp TEKO will be at the Plamling Commission and City <br /> Cotuicil meetings to respoiid to any questions or concerns. We will have provided iiotice <br /> (tl�rough the City)to the adjacent(350')property owners. <br />
