The fill site covers 24000 square feet of area or .55 acres; 175 square feet of a designated wetland has been filled. 3.

The volume of fill totals 2900 cubic yards. � PAGE 1 OF 3 • � clt� o� oR,oNo RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL • NO. 1270 • - • • 4 . The fi11 area is unprotected; the fill consists of black dirt with some sections containing large chunks of concrete and cement blocks. 5 . The neighbors properties are not affected by drainage from the fill site. 6 . The majority of the surface drainage runs towards the wetlands to the north; there was no sign of excessive sedimentation along the southern edge of the wetland. 7 . To require the r�m�t�al of such an extensive area of fi11 would create greater environmental harm to the neighboring properties and the wetlands to the north. 8 . To commence an im�.:ediate program of conservation • and protection of the subject area would be more in keeping with the intent and objectives of the Orono Zoning Code and Comprehensive Land Use P1an. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Orono hereby apgroves the after the fact application of Verne Hubbell for a Conditional Use Permit for grading and filling subject to the following conditions : 1 . All fill to be remove3 from the designated wetland and from an area 26 feet in width around that defined wetland. 2. All concrete chunks and cement blocks buried to allow adequate maintenance and the remaining fi11 graded so that the sides do not exceed a 4 . 1 slope. 3. The entire area is to be reseeded; hay bales placed along the southern edge of the wetlands are to remain in place until a final inspection of the site confirms that the reseeding has taken hold. • PAGE 2 OF 3 .
