MINUTES OF THE ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING Monday, August 25, 2014 7:00 o’clock p.m. _____________________________________________________________________________________ Page 13 of 18 (10. #14-3687 REAL ASSETS, II, LLC, 3700 NORTHERN AVENUE – FINAL PLAT APPROVAL: NORTHERN OAKS – RESOLUTION NO. 6438, Continued) Gaffron noted this is a PRD, which required a conditional use permit that was granted as part of the preliminary plat approval. Gaffron stated with the exception of the stormwater ponding, the final plat basically reflects the preliminary plat that was approved. Levang stated she would like to see the landscaping plan. Todd Holmers, Applicant, stated he marked on the plan what trees could be saved and what trees will be spaded in. As it relates to Lot 1, all of the trees are currently on the lot and will remain. On Lot 2, depending on the homeowner’s preference, a tree would be planted on the west side of the driveway as well as in the front of the yard. Holmers stated the same concept would be applied to Lots 3 and 4. On Lot 4 there are also some existing trees that likely will be able to be saved. Holmers stated on Lot 5, they will be able to save the tree in the front on the left-hand side of the driveway and then plant another tree. On Lot 6, a maple will be planted and a couple of trees will be saved in the front yard. In the back right corner of Lot 6 a tree could also be planted if the homeowner so desires. Holmers noted all of the trees that are being saved are large trees. Holmers indicated they were not able to preserve the trees in the area of the relocated rain garden but that they are now able to save the trees where the rain garden was originally proposed.
