MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br /> Monday,April 17,2017 <br /> 6:30 o'clock p.m. <br /> It was the consensus of the Planning Commission to not allow any other outside materials besides those <br /> from the Highway 112 improvement project. <br /> Thiesse noted No. 3 deals with hours of operation, noise, lighting, etc. <br /> Fretham stated he does not anticipate lighting but that it was put in there in case the contractor wanted it <br /> so they did not have to come back. <br /> Thiesse stated downcast lighting would be no different than a parking lot. <br /> Olson asked what the hours of operation would be. <br /> Gaffron indicated Orono's normal construction hours are 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Friday and <br /> 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. on the weekends. <br /> Thiesse and Olson indicated they would like Saturday and Sunday to be off. <br /> Fretham stated he is fine with that condition as it relates to the crushing activity. <br /> Olson commented traffic would be a concern on the weekends. <br /> Fretham noted he would like to be able to use the site for storage and that if the contractor is laying pipe <br /> on a Saturday and needs one more piece of pipe, it would be nice if he could retrieve it from the site. <br /> Fretham stated it could be limited to no hauling of materials, which would be heavy traffic. <br /> Landgraver stated his recollection regarding the concern with the apple orchard is that fall is peak season <br /> for them and that he had the understanding the applicant was amenable to restricting traffic on the <br /> weekends. <br /> Thiesse stated if the contractor is one pipe short of finishing, he cannot see stopping them from getting the <br /> pipe. <br /> Lemke suggested the hours be restricted from 8 a.m.to noon on Saturday. <br /> Fretham stated that would probably be easier. <br /> Thiesse noted there would be nothing on Sunday and 8 a.m. to noon on Saturday for retrieving of <br /> materials only. Thiesse asked how the Planning Commission feels about Item No. 4. <br /> Leskinen asked if the public health concerns raised by the Dumases relating to the toxins is something <br /> covered by the MPCA. <br /> Fretham stated he is sure there is some guideline for it and some agency that would be in charge of it but <br /> that he has not come across it in his prior projects. Fretham stated it is probably part of one of the permits <br /> they have to apply for. <br /> Lemke stated he would assume the MPCA would have control over that. <br /> Leskinen asked what items are in place to keep the dust under control. <br /> Page 19 of 48 <br />
