MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br /> Monday,July 15,2013 <br /> 6:30 o'clock p.m. <br /> for the new plants. Gustafson indicated they need those old roots to help hold the bank in place but that <br /> the new roots will eventually take over. <br /> Gustafson stated the issue with the water coming over the top is partly due to the fact that building <br /> requirements in general do not require specifications for erosion control on lakeshore that are adequate to <br /> meet a three to four inch rain. Gustafson noted one row or two rows of silt fence cannot hold that much <br /> water but it is difficult to build something that can handle that much water. <br /> Lemke asked if the area between the house and the slope will be sodded or seeded. <br /> Gustafson indicated that will be sodded. <br /> Lemke asked what the schedule will be for the work. <br /> Gustafson stated they will begin with the killing of the old vegetation and have the new plants in prior to <br /> the fall,which will give the new plants some time to get established. <br /> Leskinen asked if there is additional permitting required from the Watershed District for re-vegetating a <br /> slope like this. <br /> Curtis indicated she is not aware of exactly what the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District would require. <br /> The City requires a copy of the permit from the Watershed District for the house and that Staff would <br /> send the applicant back to the Watershed District at the time of the issuance of the zoning permit to <br /> review the work being proposed in this area. <br /> Thiesse asked if the Watershed District would review the plans and possibly require some type of erosion <br /> control. <br /> Curtis stated they would. <br /> Landgraver commented in his view this is a vast improvement and is a good plan. <br /> Leskinen stated she likes the rearrangement of the stairs and the fact that the stairs will be built into the <br /> ground. Leskinen stated the applicant made a good point about the erosion under the stairs and that the <br /> new stairs,being built into the ground,will help address that. Leskinen stated in her view aesthetically <br /> this plan will look better and be better for the lake. <br /> Lemke moved, Schoenzeit seconded,to recommend approval of Application#13-3612,Dale <br /> Gustafson on behalf of John and Barbara Corness,4395 North Shore Drive,granting of a <br /> hardcover variance and conditional use permit.
