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.
