MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br />Monday, September 15, 2014 <br />6:30 o’clock p.m. <br />_____________________________________________________________________________________ <br />  <br />Page 55 of 59  <br />  <br />diagram showing the proposed drainage and that it seemed like there were four lots going on to North <br />Arm. Johnson asked whether there is drainage exiting from that area. <br /> <br />Hiller indicated there are two culverts on the site where they will be able to divert the drainage back on to <br />the site. Hiller indicated they will look further into this other area with the engineer to see what they can <br />possibly do to at least minimize it. <br /> <br />Johnson stated in the wintertime the City does not plow North Arm very well. Johnson asked what would <br />happen with that snow since there will now be driveways there. Johnson stated the salt from the roads <br />could also affect some of those natural areas that will be planted. <br /> <br />Chair Leskinen closed the public hearing at 10:42 p.m. <br /> <br />Leskinen stated she would applaud the developer on the work that they have done and the tone they have <br />taken with the residents. Leskinen stated it is apparent that there has been a lot of cooperation with the <br />surrounding neighbors. <br /> <br />Grittman noted Staff’s recommendation was to table the application. Grittman stated the Planning <br />Commission may choose to continue the public hearing until the October meeting rather than close it <br />tonight. <br /> <br />Leskinen stated she did intend to continue the public hearing as well and that she was merely closing it <br />for tonight’s purposes. <br /> <br />McGrann stated it makes it a lot easier when you see collaboration between the community and the <br />developer. McGrann stated to the extent everyone can work together to create a park, he would encourage <br />that. <br /> <br />Berg stated the drainage issue for Ms. Mitchell is happening now but that she would hope the developer <br />will look into that. <br /> <br />Hiller indicated they will be looking at that. <br />Item #01 - PC Agenda - 10/20/2014 <br />Approval of Planning Commission Minutes 09/15/2014 <br />[Page 55 of 59]
