• <br /> MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br /> Monday,March 20,2017 <br /> 6:30 o'clock p.m. <br /> Fretham stated their concern is adding a berm on top of the landfill area,which may make it more <br /> difficult to clean the landfill up if that is found to be necessary. <br /> Leskinen asked whether the applicant would restrict the materials to just road debris or whether there <br /> would be materials from the demolition of a building if they were to be allowed to have other sites bring <br /> in their debris. <br /> Fretham stated they would like to have discretion to bring in other materials. Fretham noted on a <br /> demolition project they still have protocol they have to follow to make sure the materials that are going to <br /> be recycled are clean. Fretham stated he could provide that paperwork and that he will retain it in the <br /> event there is ever an audit performed. <br /> Leskinen asked if it would be fair to say that it could be more than just road debris. <br /> Fretham stated potentially it could be. <br /> Schoenzeit asked if he would agree to the stipulation that if other materials are brought in that it be <br /> limited to concrete,asphalt,manholes,and not this other demolition material. Schoenzeit indicated he <br /> would be very uninterested in recycling non-road material and non-authenticated stuff and turning this <br /> site back into a dump. <br /> Fretham stated they do not want to turn it back into a dump and that they consider it to be a valuable <br /> property. Fretham stated if that was a stipulation,he would need to figure out whether they could live <br /> with that. <br /> Thiesse stated it sounds like a site is necessary for recycling of road materials in Orono but that there is <br /> not a big need to be recycling other debris. Thiesse stated in his view the Planning Commission does not <br /> have enough information on whether that is a required component for the applicant. Thiesse commented <br /> he would love to see Orono take care of its own materials. <br /> Fretham noted he does not have control of the entire equation. <br /> Thiesse asked when that information would be available. <br /> Fretham stated it would probably be available in the next 30 to 90 days. <br /> Thiesse commented this site is probably the best site to do it,but in order to give exact information to the <br /> public on the interim use,he would like more information on how the property will be used and whether <br /> it could be viable without bringing in other materials from other towns. <br /> Schoenzeit stated the City's obligation is to keep this site clean and that it starts with knowing what the <br /> materials are and where they are coming from. <br /> Thiesse stated it also has to be a viable operation. <br /> Landgraver stated if there are limits on the amount of traffic and the type and amount of material,he <br /> would not be inclined to be as restrictive on where it is coming from. <br /> Page 15 of 43 <br />
