MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br />Monday, July18, 2016 <br />6:30 o'clock p.m. <br />Barnhart noted this is the public hearing but that the Mayor will probably allow the residents to comment <br />on the plan at the City Council meeting. Barnhart stated the Mayor is not obligated to hold a public <br />hearing and that he does not want there to be the assumption that there will be a public hearing at the City <br />Council meeting. <br />Denman stated he would not mind sending the plan out to the neighbors and that he is not opposed to <br />asking the Mayor to allow public comments. <br />Barnhart noted written comments as well as the minutes are provided to the City Council prior to them <br />reviewing the application. <br />Olson asked whether the neighbors will receive another notice. <br />Barnhart stated he cannot call a public hearing at the City Council level for this application and that if he <br />sends out a notice to the neighbors, it would be considered a public hearing. Barnhart stated if the <br />Planning Commission is uncomfortable with not seeing the final plan, the Planning Commission can table <br />any action on the application. <br />Denman stated he would be happy to send out the landscape plan to the residents listed on the notice list. <br />Lemke commented that would be very helpful. <br />Lemke asked the Commission whether trails or sidewalks should be provided to connect this <br />neighborhood with the community at large. <br />Barnhart stated there are no existing trails or sidewalks in this area but that there are plans to put a trail <br />along Shadywood on the north side. Barnhart noted this development is located kind of in the middle of <br />the block and that it may not be the best intersection for a trail. <br />McGrann commented it probably is not necessary. <br />Page 14 of 16 <br />
