MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br /> Monday,November 20,2017 <br /> 6:30 o'clock p.m. <br /> Fretham indicated it would likely be lawn or sand to blend in with the existing sand. <br /> Thiesse asked if they could mitigate those two spots. <br /> Fretham stated they could mitigate on site. <br /> Barnhart noted according to the comments of the Watershed District, when the beaches are added in,then <br /> the site goes over the de minimis criteria and it starts to become difficult to justify the impact to the <br /> wetland. Barnhart stated the Watershed District sees the creation of the beaches as an alteration. <br /> Thiesse asked if the beaches fall under the purview of the Planning Commission. <br /> Barnhart stated it would need to go through a public hearing process. <br /> Lemke asked why the beaches are on that side. <br /> Fretham indicated the other side is lagoon and not as clean of water. <br /> Schoenzeit asked if they will just be adding sand versus digging out muck. <br /> Fretham stated they would be removing earth about a foot along the whole shoreline in the event of high <br /> waters but that they would not be removing anything for the beaches. Fretham commented he is not sure <br /> whether it is really a beach but that it is more of an access point to the water. <br /> Lemke asked whether rain gardens were proposed at one time. <br /> Fretham noted they went to a 100-year stormwater system,which is shown on Lots 1 and 2. <br /> Landgraver asked if the neighbor's concerns about drainage have been addressed. <br /> Fretham indicated they will be capturing the hard surface runoff on the site and that the other dotted area <br /> on the plan shows the detail of the grading that will take place along the common property line. <br /> Landgraver stated the other concern was where the driveway would connect to the street. Landgraver <br /> asked what the Council's thoughts were about that. <br /> Fretham indicated the proposed driveway is as shown and that they have not made a lot of changes there. <br /> Fretham noted they do not have a lot of control over it because the road pretty much dead ends. <br /> Barnhart stated he does not recall any changes to the configuration to the driveway but that the resolution <br /> included language that the condition of Ivy Place and the private driveway be noted prior to construction <br /> and after construction. <br /> Lemke asked if the building outline is exact. <br /> Fretham indicated those are approximate. <br /> Lemke asked if they will get smaller. <br /> Page 14 of 21 <br />
