MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br />Monday, June 17, 2013 <br />6:30 o’clock p.m. <br />_____________________________________________________________________________________ <br />  <br />Page 5 of 9  <br />  <br />Neil Goodwin indicated they have spoken to the neighbor across the street and that they are attempting to <br />take some of the drainage from the house and redirect it towards the lake rather than the street. <br /> <br />Landgraver noted the driveway goes down to 940’ and the back of it is at 950’ but that he is not trained <br />enough in engineering to know how that would drain. <br /> <br />Thiesse commented the water will somehow have to be diverted from the French drain at the 940’ contour <br />down to the 938’ contour at the lake, which will be very interesting to see. <br /> <br />Eskuche noted the lake is approximately nine feet lower. <br /> <br />Gaffron stated the surface runoff would have to be taken from the driveway at a 939 to 940 contour and <br />then outletted within 40 to 50 feet of the lake, which is not something the City has allowed in the past. <br />The City typically has not allowed surface runoff to be piped and outletted in the 0-75 foot zone since <br />there is very little chance for it to be filtered before it reaches the lake. <br /> <br />Thiesse asked if the City would allow the water to be diverted to the storm drain. <br /> <br />Gaffron stated that is one possible option. <br /> <br />Eskuche noted there is a city sewer on the property that would be easier to access and they would be <br />willing to do that. <br /> <br />Gaffron asked if the inlet outlets to the east side of the lake. <br /> <br />Neil Goodwin indicated it does go to the east. <br /> <br />Gaffron stated it would require the approval of the City Engineer. <br /> <br />Curtis stated the focus of the City Engineer in his review at this stage of the application was the 0-75 foot <br />zone and that he will have to take a closer look at it before the application goes to the City Council. <br /> <br />Schoenzeit asked what distance the pipe could be from the lake. <br /> <br />Gaffron indicated 76 feet from the lake. <br /> <br />Krogness asked where the new driveway would be located. <br /> <br />Eskuche pointed out the location of the driveway on the overhead. <br />Chair Leskinen opened the public meeting at 7:00 p.m. <br /> <br />There were no public comments regarding this application. <br /> <br />Chair Leskinen closed the public meeting at 7:00 p.m. <br /> <br />Thiesse asked if the neighbors are happy with the plan as depicted. <br />Item #01 - PC Agenda - 07/15/2013 <br />Approval of Planning Commission Minutes 06/17/13 <br />[Page 5 of 9]
