4 <br />MINUTES OF THE .REGULAR ORONO COUNCIL MEETING HELD MAY 11, 1987 <br />1103 EISINGER CONTINUED <br />contamination? Since this issue has been raised, a <br />letter was sent to the 5 agencies that had previously <br />reviewed the application seeking their opinion on this <br />concern. One agency recommended that the applicant <br />submit the original soils analysis of 1974 to a soils <br />engineer for his analysis of the impact of the fill <br />loading on the existing dump site and potential of <br />contaminated materials migrating out into adjacent <br />wetlands. Staff recommends tabling until this <br />information is submitted by applicant. <br />Mr. Eisinger stated that they plan to put as much fill <br />necessary (up to 200,00 cubic yards) to obtain a 990 -992 <br />elevation. <br />Mayor Grabek felt the Council should give applicant some <br />direction as to what they would recommend prior to his <br />investing in the soils'analysis. <br />Planning Commission member Johnson noted that Planning <br />Commission recommended approval of 100,000 cubic yards <br />of fill and the City to montior during the next year for <br />consideration of more fill. <br />City Administrator Bernhardson noted that possibly the <br />only acceptable use for this land after it is filled <br />would be a driving range, noting that agricultural use <br />would not be acceptable nor for residential home <br />development. <br />City Engineer Cook commented that the site as it <br />currently exists presents potential for increased <br />leachate, pot holes, and retention po:ids and felt that <br />it would be beneficial to put some fill to smooth out <br />elevations. <br />Mayor Grabek stated he would be in favor of allowing <br />some fill based on the City Engineer's recommendaiton, <br />but applicant should submit supportive documentation for <br />allowing more fill than necessary. <br />Councilmember Goetten stated she would like more <br />detailed information from P.C.A. <br />City Engineer Cook recommended that an analysis be done <br />by a soils lab on the effects of such a project. <br />Council unanimously agreed that they would react <br />positively to allowing some fill if the soils lab report <br />came back favorably. <br />E7 <br />
