MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br />Monday, September 15, 2014 <br />6:30 o’clock p.m. <br />_____________________________________________________________________________________ <br />  <br />Page 53 of 59  <br />  <br />Johnson stated it will be necessary to get a firm idea of what that maintenance will be and the possible <br />costs associated with it. Johnson stated in his view there are a number of opportunities to keep the same <br />spirit of collaboration going not only towards the maintenance of this park but that it could be a model for <br />some other parks in Orono as well. <br /> <br />Meyers asked if the homeowners association for this development could also maintain the park. <br /> <br />Hiller stated that is one option, but that the idea was that the City would retain fee interest in the property <br />since it would be deeded to them. Hiller stated it is a unique situation and those details will need to be <br />worked out. <br /> <br />Lucy Mitchell, 740 North Arm Drive, noted back in January she had mentioned the storm drains near her <br />property and that the developer had indicated he would be blocking those drains. Mitchell asked if that is <br />still the plan. Mitchell stated every time it rains, they have a river in their front yard and it goes straight to <br />North Arm Bay. <br /> <br />Hiller indicated there are a couple of culverts as well as one or two drain on the site. Hiller stated one or <br />two of those culverts drain out of the site and one drains into the site and that they had thought they could <br />grade the ones exiting the site no longer exit the site. <br /> <br />Dave Nash, EBS Engineering, stated there are actually four culverts on North Arm, with three draining <br />out of the site and one draining into the site. Nash stated their grading plan reflects that two of the three <br />can be redirected onto the site and then down south. <br /> <br />Mitchell indicated it goes underneath the street and into her property. <br /> <br />Nash stated due to the grades, they cannot redirect that one in a different direction. <br /> <br />Mitchell asked if it can be blocked. <br /> <br />Nash indicated it cannot be blocked. <br /> <br />Item #01 - PC Agenda - 10/20/2014 <br />Approval of Planning Commission Minutes 09/15/2014 <br />[Page 53 of 59]
