Dear Mark:
The Orono staff would like to thank you for the opportunity
to review the business profile for Otten Brothers Nursery and
Landscaping Inc. Please let me apologize for the delay in our
response to you as we were only able to receive the City
Engineer's input on Thursday, April 4th.
The fencing shown on the most recent site plan for the most
part appears to meet the required setbacks for accessory
structures. I have enclosed a copy of the B-6 zoning standards
for setbacks. Note fencing must be at a minimum of 30' from the
street lot line. I would suggest that you measure setback from
the north line of Outlot D in making the setback determinations,
as Outlot D will be deeded to the State Highway Department at a
future date when proposed safety upgrade is realized. The Public
Works Department has asked for final comment on the placement of
fencing and gates to insure that all utilities can be accessed
and not restricted by security fencing.
Your lighting plans were not addressed in your final site
plan approved April 5, 1990. Staff would suggest that you
provide a site plan locating the lighting and provide specs on
the type of signage to be used. Please note lighting must be
directed downward and away from adjacent property lines and road
right-of-ways.
The City has little information as to how Lot 2 is to be
used by Otten Brothers Nursery. The final approved site plan
(noted above) provides no detail. Planned Unit Development No. I
Agreement for East Willow Woods states on Page 2 (enclosed
herewith) that "Lot 2 may be used for the storage of plant,
garden and landscape related supplies and materials in
conjunction with Developer's use of Lot 1. It would be helpful if
you could provide an updated site plan locating the following on
the site plan: -

1. location of pile of tree brush and tree trunks stored on
site temporarily;
2 . dirt pulverizing machine;
3 . storage area for bolders used in landscaping;
4. 30 cubic yard trash dumpster;
5. temporary holding area for soil , sod and dead plant
material.
Please provide as much information on the dirt pulverizing
machine. Questions were raised as to the noise factor in its
operation and the time of day it is in use. It may be helpful if
you can have staff make a site inspection at the time the
pulverizing machine is in use.
As for all the other items noted within your profile, all of
the uses and activities cited appear to be consistent with a
nursery and landscape business.
Please contact my office if you have any further questions
concerning matters discussed above.
Sincerely,
ii�1
