1 � <br /> MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br /> Tuesday,February 16,2010 <br /> 6:30 o'clock p.m. <br /> (10-3442 DIRK MILLER OF THE ENIILY PROGRAM,2180 NORTH SHORE DRIVE,CONT.) <br /> Rahn commented the plan does look very nice but that he is looking at the practicality of the sanitation <br /> truck being able to access the dumpster without using the street to back up.Rahn stated he would prefer <br /> the overhead doors face the street or the building to reduce the noise and to allow for easier access. Rahn <br /> suggested locating the garage near the existing parking lot,which would allow for easier access and <br /> eliminate some of the driveway. <br /> Betti stated they are also attempting to preserve the current parking stalls. <br /> Rahn pointed out that the van would utilize one stall if it was parked outside and that he would prefer the <br /> garage be relocated to provide better access. <br /> Schoenzeit commented one option would be to pull the trash container down to the street for pickup. <br /> Betti stated they are willing to pay extra for the smaller manually served dumpster and that they are not <br /> opposed to relocating the garage if that is the recommendation of the Planning Commission. <br /> Miller asked whether they should construct a structure to house the dumpster separate from the garage. <br /> Rahn stated he wanted the applicant to be aware of the possibility that the building would need to be <br /> sprinkled if they are planning to store a large dumpster in there. Rahn stated in his opinion the garage <br /> could be located closer to the parking lot,which would utilize the existing blacictop. <br /> Betti indicated they are agreeable to relocating the garage,but noted there is also a rain garden/drainage <br /> area in the upper right-hand corner that they will need to accommodate. <br /> Rahn stated if the overhead doors were straight to the street,with a reverse gable,it would have an <br /> appearance similar to the school. <br /> Miller stated if the garage is approved as is,they would take the suggestions of the Planning Commission <br /> into consideration as it relates to the location of the garage. They are holding a meeting with the <br /> neighborhood tomorrow night and will be before the City Council on February 12`�'. They are running <br /> into time constraints as it relates to the purchase agreement. They would like the Planning Commission <br /> to approve the garage as is and they will the suggestions of the Planning Commission under <br /> consideration. <br /> Acting Chair Schoenzeit opened the public hearing at 6:50 p.m. <br /> Michael LaQuey,P.O.Box 94, Crystal Bay, stated he is opposed to the garage under any circumstances. <br /> LaQuey indicated he concurs with the information that was submitted on the storm water pond and that <br /> the garage will impact the drainage. LaQuey stated he feels this use will increase the parldng on the site. <br /> There are also some fire and safety issues that are created with the garage given the narrowness of the <br /> access. In addition,there are safety issues with the dumpster in that it may hold biohazard waste. If the <br /> dumpster is stored outdoors, it creates safety issues for the children in the neighborhood if it does contain <br /> Page 3 <br />
