MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION <br /> Tuesday,February 21,2017 <br /> 6:30 o'clock p.m. <br /> Gaffron noted there is a stormwater system that runs behind the buildings down to the south end of the <br /> property. As of a few years ago, there were open catch basins that have since been covered. Gaffron <br /> stated it is possible that the storm sewer system could change depending on what happens with the rest of <br /> the property. Gaffron stated it is also possible that the parking on the site will need to be reviewed once <br /> the rest of the site is developed. <br /> Thiesse stated his biggest concern is 95 children in the back yard of the Sugar Woods <br /> Smale stated they probably have around 20 at one time and not 95. <br /> Leskinen asked at what point something will be done with the foundation. <br /> Richardson stated they intend to develop that site sometime this summer and that they have two interested <br /> parties in the building. <br /> Leskinen asked what type of use they were thinking for that site. <br /> Richardson indicated it would be professional use, likely architectural and legal. <br /> Thiesse asked if the play area would still be available during construction of the site. <br /> Smale stated that area would be gated and the children would not be able to simply walk over there <br /> unsupervised. <br /> Landgraver stated he has previously observed this daycare on outings down to the lake and that in his <br /> view there will be plenty of adult supervision. <br /> Smale stated they would need to comply with state requirements on the ratios for adult supervision. <br /> Landgraver asked if they are open 12 hours a day. <br /> Smale indicated that is correct. <br /> Landgraver noted all the employees would not be there at all times, which will lighten the parking needs. <br /> Thiesse asked if they are willing to put down the final lift of asphalt prior to occupancy. <br /> Richardson indicated they will be doing a portion of the lot this year and then will be finishing it once the <br /> rest of the site is developed. <br /> Gaffron stated there is some risk to the applicant that the remaining construction will do some damage to <br /> the asphalt and base but currently the base is fairly stable. <br /> Thiesse asked if a construction schedule will be provided sometime this summer. <br /> Richardson indicated they are pretty much ready to go once they receive approval and that they will be <br /> submitting that in the near future. <br /> Page 7 of 32 <br />
