MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br /> Monday,April 18,2016 <br /> 6:30 o'clock p.m. <br /> Campion noted the driveways are 30 feet apart down at the street but that up by the homes there is less <br /> room and some consideration will have to be given not to blow snow onto the neighboring lot. Campion <br /> stated they also have the landfill site to store snow on. <br /> Thiesse asked if the landfill site is impervious and whether their stormwater pond will be on top of any of <br /> that. <br /> Campion indicated the stormwater pond will be at the edge of the landfill area and that they are going to <br /> be following a remedial action plan to deal with any debris that may be uncovered as part of that process. <br /> Thiesse asked if the landfill is relatively stable. <br /> Campion stated to his understanding it is. <br /> Chair Leskinen opened the public hearing at 8:20 p.m. <br /> Allan Engleman noted there are 27 homes being proposed, with a minimum of 27 cars, and a driveway on <br /> each lot. Engleman stated there should be no building on the site unless turn lanes are constructed given <br /> the school traffic and other traffic in the area. <br /> Engleman noted there is also a high pressure sewer main located on the south side of the highway. <br /> Engleman asked where the right-of-way is where a turn lane can be put in. Engleman stated they will not <br /> be able to put a turn lane on top of the sewer main. <br /> Gaffron stated the developer will need to investigate that and determine where the sewer main is located <br /> in that area. Gaffron stated the sewer main is not located underneath Wayzata Boulevard and is located <br /> underneath the shoulder. Gaffron stated that is one of the questions that will need to be answered. <br /> Engleman stated if they take 50 feet from the center line, that will take some of this property. Engleman <br /> stated given all the hardcover proposed for this site, there will not be a drop of water that can hit the <br /> ground in this development. Engleman noted they are then going to take the runoff over to the pond. <br /> Engleman asked how deep the pond will be. Engleman stated they cannot dig down into the dump due to <br /> the contamination and that he has seen mattresses and other items dumped in there. Engleman stated it <br /> was supposed to be a dump for building demolition. <br /> Campion stated it is his understanding that if the area is mitigated,the debris would need to be removed. <br /> On the edges it is anywhere from 10 to 12 feet deep. Campion stated what they are proposing will be <br /> along the edges so it will not be as deep. Campion indicated he is not familiar with everything that will <br /> have to be done to mitigate it. <br /> Engleman stated in his view that stuff should be considered prior to moving forward with the <br /> development. <br /> Chair Leskinen closed the public hearing at 8:28 p.m. <br /> Leskinen stated the Planning Commission should start with the Comprehensive Plan Amendment and that <br /> a number of questions have been outlined in Staffls report that the Planning Commission should focus on. <br /> Leskinen suggested the Planning Commission discuss the density first. <br /> Page 17 of 32 <br />
