MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br /> Monday,April 17,2017 <br /> 6:30 o'clock p.m. <br /> Thiesse asked if the average lakeshore setback would be established at the time of subdivision approval. <br /> Gaffron indicated it would be, <br /> Thiesse asked if the applicant knows what stormwater management will be done. <br /> Fretham stated he has an idea of what needs to be done. <br /> Thiesse commented the applicant should be aware that he is surrounded by a lake that Orono takes great <br /> steps to protect. <br /> Gaffron stated as part of a preliminary plat application, Staff will need to know where the fire and police <br /> chiefs stand on things, especially as it relates to emergency access and turnaround. Gaffron stated this is <br /> an opportunity to resolve some issues but they might not be able to accomplish everything on this <br /> property. Gaffron stated if improvements need to be made to the cul-de-sac, the greater question becomes <br /> where the land for road or turnaround expansion comes from. <br /> Thiesse asked if there is a lift station in the area. <br /> Gaffron stated there is a lift station as well as a sewer line that goes along the shore. The applicant will <br /> have the ability to utilize that existing line. <br /> Thiesse asked if there are any definitions for single-story or whether they would be allowed 14 or 16-foot <br /> ceilings with a pitched roof. <br /> Fretham stated the language(of the easement) is vague. <br /> Lemke commented it would be nice to go above the single story to lessen the footprint. <br /> Fretham stated they would like to do that as well. <br /> Lemke stated the back to back driveways seem kind of clumsy. <br /> Fretham stated the challenge is limiting the hardcover. Fretham stated they have the land mass but it is <br /> quite restrictive to run the driveway that far. Fretham indicated they will continue to look at that. <br /> Thiesse asked if anyone from the public would like to comment on the sketch plan. <br /> Tera White, 3560 Ivy Place, stated their property was developed in the 1940s and that it does flood. <br /> White stated as more fill is brought in, that raises a concern about where the runoff will go since they are <br /> located at the bottom of the hill. <br /> Thiesse stated her concern has been noted. <br /> The Planning Commission took no formal action on this item. <br /> Page 35 of 48 <br />
