MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING HELD ON MAY 12,1997 ( #10 Spring Hill Golf Club - Continued) Dick Krueger asked about oak wilt noting it is easily spread and difficult to control. He asked that the oak trees not be disturbed. Braman said the DNR has not responded to that specific concern. He said they were informed that the roots of trees should be severed to ensure infected trees not spread disease. Jabbour asked that the applicant submit a report from a tree expert on this issue. Braman will provide this information as part of the forthcoming information from the DNR. A progress report is to be submitted before any decision is made at the next Council meeting. Morrison said a plan will be submitted before that meeting, and he will keep the City updated. Jabbour asked if enough information was provided to allow a document be drafted for adoption at the next Council meeting. He asked that findings be prepared to allow for action to be taken regarding the EAW at the special meeting. Gaflron said the package will be formatted for EAW acceptance with no EIS required. He will work with Radio in drafting the document. Goetten asked for updated material prior to the meeting. Crosby asked for clarification on payment of the upgrade of Spring Hill Road. Jabbour said this would depend on where the access is located. If the existing access is approved, Jabbour clantied that a by -pass lane would be included. Kelley said the by -pass lane should be long enough to allow for cars to move into that lane soon enough for the next oncoming car. 0 There were no additional public comments. The special meeting was scheduled to continue discussion of the EAW on May 21 at 6:00 p.m. Braman noted that the majority of the information should be available at that time.
