4 MINUTES OF THE <br /> � ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br /> Monday,July 18,2011 <br /> 6:30 o'clock p.m. <br /> confusing or whether the regulations should be loosened or all-inclusive. One of the action items the <br /> group decided upon was to get some historical graphical perspectives so the task force will know what <br /> has been done in the past. If the City is granting similar variances over and over,it may suggest a <br /> problem with the code. <br /> Schoenzeit stated another issue is that there really is no allowance for technology or higher performance <br /> on the part of the applicant to achieve a desired water quality standard,percolation,etc.,and the group is <br /> interested in finding levels that Staff can incorporate into the code. Schoenzeit stated developing that <br /> type of technical data is clearly outside the budget of Orono and that they may need to wait for the state to <br /> produce some of those guidelines. Schoenzeit noted they may have difficulty with the time line and being <br /> able to complete the assignment without the state's supporting technical data. <br /> Thiesse asked if one of the goals was to simplify the code. <br /> Schoenzeit stated it is more than simplification. <br /> Thiesse asked whether a person would still be able to get a variance without hiring an engineer. <br /> Curtis stated it would be unlikely. � ' <br /> Schoenzeit indicated the task force is looking at different levels of regulations depending on different <br /> circumstances and that different levels would require an engineer. <br /> Curtis stated one of the goals is to have the ternunology simplified as well as incorporating incentives to <br /> utilize new technology. . <br /> Schoenzeit stated the task force hopes to clearly document the different levels and requirements that the <br /> applicant has to meet before the application comes to the Planning Commission and/or the City Council <br /> leveL . <br /> Schwingler asked whether the Planning Commission should offer suggestions on applications like <br /> Commissioner Thiesse did earlier, such as increasing the size of the turnaround. <br /> Curtis stated as it relates to the driveway discussed earlier tonight, Staff will include language in the . <br /> resolution that the applicant has acknowledged this configuration. Curtis indicated it is a driveway that a <br /> person will have to back out of. <br /> Feuss committed in her view if the applicant is not asking for a variance,it really is not the business of the <br /> Planning Commission to make suggestions on other aspects not being impacted by the proposal. <br /> Gaffron stated over time additional hardcover tends to get added on the property and it is not discovered <br /> until it comes back before the Planning Commission <br /> Curtis introduced Kevin Landgraver,the newest Planning Commission member. <br /> Page • <br /> • 14 <br />
