MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br />Monday, September 15, 2014 <br />6:30 o’clock p.m. <br />_____________________________________________________________________________________ <br />  <br />Page 14 of 59  <br />  <br />Lemke asked if the road into the development meets all the requirements of the fire department. Lemke <br />stated the turnaround does not seem to be very useable. <br /> <br />Mack stated the fire chief was included in on the predevelopment meeting. Mack stated as part of the <br />concept plan, to the extent possible the hardcover would be minimized on the site and that private drive <br />would be made as narrow as possible with on-street parking prohibited. Mack indicated the road would <br />be wide enough to allow two cars side by side and the only on-street parking would be in the bumpouts. <br />Mack stated there would be enough parking in each driveway for six to eight vehicles. <br /> <br />Lemke asked if the stub-out would be for parking. <br /> <br />Mack stated that would be for emergency turnaround only. <br /> <br />Lemke asked if a vast majority of the trees on the site would be removed. <br /> <br />Mack stated as it relates to tree removal, it would be isolated to the pad sites and the road. Mack <br />indicated there would still be an area north of the road that could be kept for screening and buffering from <br />the site to the north. Mack pointed out the area that would be preserved. <br /> <br />Berg asked if the majority of the trees overlooking Kelly would be removed and whether there would be <br />trees left behind the units. <br /> <br />Mack indicated the trees overlooking Kelly would be removed and the trees in the back of the units would <br />remain. <br /> <br />Berg asked if the zoning allows for four single-family homes given the size of the site. <br /> <br />Mack stated that is correct. <br /> <br />Thiesse asked if it was guided to a greater density. <br /> <br />Item #01 - PC Agenda - 10/20/2014 <br />Approval of Planning Commission Minutes 09/15/2014 <br />[Page 14 of 59]
