MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO CITY COUNCIL. MEETING HELD ON MAY 12,1997 ( #10 Spring Hill Golf Club - Continued) • Jabbour said he was reviewing the application as a development, not a residential development, and looking at what rights the applicant and City have in order to perform due diligence. Goetten said the Council must technically look at the application currently under review. Flint said he was becoming more satisfied but would like to see the final plan. While he would like to preserve all of the Big Woods, he understands that the option is not available. (III -D) Alteration of Wildlife Habitat and Movement Corridors - Gaffron noted that this refers back to the original memo and is centered around the Big Woods and wetlands. There are no specific recommendations. The City Engineer has recommended that the project maintain connectivity regarding a corridor for wildlife movement. Flint noted that the perimeter type of split -rail fencing proposed will also help meet these goals. Crosby said the one fence proposed is between the trail and the golf course property itself. It would be decorative and not present a barrier for wildlife. (III -E -1) Drainage - Council agreed with Staff and Planning Commission recommendation. (III -E -2 ) Wetlands - Gaffron noted that the weir can be moved if adjustments become • necessary. Jabbour asked Mr. Krueger if he found the solution satisfactory. Krueger said he agreed with the concept. Jabbour asked that a copy of the development agreement, which will address the weir issue, be given to Krueger. Council agreed with recommendation. (III -E -3) Water Quality - Gaffron reviewed the recommendation. He noted that Staff had been awaiting the City Engineer's recommendation. It was received on 5/6/97. Bonestroo's recommendation as noted in the memo was reviewed. Council agreed with Staff, Planning Commission, and City Engineer's recommendations. (III -E-4) Hardcover Calculations - The application meets all hardcover requirements. Jabbour said Gaffron can assume Council agreement until otherwise noted in comments.
