MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br />Monday, September 15, 2014 <br />6:30 o’clock p.m. <br />_____________________________________________________________________________________ <br />  <br />Page 54 of 59  <br />  <br />Mitchell asked whether that would continue to drain to her property. <br /> <br />Nash indicated that is correct but that the other two will be redirected. Nash stated he would be happy to <br />work in more detail with the City Engineer. <br /> <br />Hiller asked if the water drainage will be greater or less. <br /> <br />Nash stated it will essentially be the same drainage area as what currently exists. <br /> <br />Mitchell stated the water always comes to their property and turns into a river. Mitchell stated the <br />developer in January said that they would try to seal it or block it to prevent the water from coming on to <br />their property. <br /> <br />Nash stated they cannot block it since it would create a lake that would flow over the road. Nash noted it <br />is an existing drainage problem that cannot be solved on this development alone. <br /> <br />Leskinen stated the Planning Commission cannot get wrapped up too much into one particular grading <br />and drainage issue at this point in time. Leskinen stated the City will continue to look at that issue outside <br />of this meeting. <br /> <br />Mitchell requested they address that issue in some fashion. Mitchell indicated she is also worried about <br />the sewage from the septic sites in the event of a power outage. Mitchell asked what will happen to those <br />septic tanks if there is no power for a couple of days. Mitchell noted last year there were two days where <br />they did not have any power. <br /> <br />Schoenzeit stated it is important that the development take care of its own water, especially since this is <br />new construction. <br />Nash indicated they will look at that again but that their drainage plan does address the water on their site. <br /> <br />Brenda Johnson, 520 North Arm Drive, stated she would like to thank Pat Hiller and his colleagues for <br />working with the neighbors and coming up with the proposal for the park. Johnson noted there was a <br />Item #01 - PC Agenda - 10/20/2014 <br />Approval of Planning Commission Minutes 09/15/2014 <br />[Page 54 of 59]
