is <br />MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO COUNCIL MEETING <br />HELD MARCH 8, 1993 <br />( #5) #1792 DONALD GRONBERG, <br />110 LEAF STREET - VARIANCE <br />Donald Gronberg and Mark Gronberg were present. <br />Mabusth reviewed at the February 8th meeting this application was <br />tabled allowing the applicant time to revise his plan and return <br />with a plan that would reduce or eliminate the encroachment into <br />the protected wetland area. She reviewed two plans submitted, of <br />which the applicant prefers Plan B which proposes a 67' setback <br />from the tributary, 1.7% hardcover in the 0 -75' setback area, and <br />5.3% over the allowed in the 75 -250' zone. She referred to a <br />drainage plan submitted indicating Plan B provides for more run- <br />off being directed to the 250 -500' zone and away from the tributary <br />where Plan A would result in greater drainage going to the <br />tributary. <br />Mark Gronberg stated this house is proposed to be 10' closer to the <br />road than the nearest house in the area, and only encroaches the <br />creek by 8'. Currently there are adjacent residences located up to <br />49' from the creek. He added an OHWL has not been established for <br />the creek. <br />Jabbour felt the applicant has made an attempt to address the <br />Council's concerns and thanked him for that. <br />Goetten noted the Council had asked that the house be downsized to <br />better fit the setbacks. <br />Mark Gronberg noted that has been done. He noted the setback from <br />the road for this proposed house is measured from a 25' wide right - <br />of -way opposed to the 33' used by adjacent residences, thereby <br />locating the residence actually 8' closer to the road that other <br />houses. <br />Kelley asked if the property would need variances if it were not <br />for the new shoreland regulations. <br />Mabusth stated a 26' tributary setback would have been required, <br />and hardcover would not have been a consideration. However, a lot <br />area variance would still have been necessary. <br />Don Gronberg felt it very stringent to go from a 26' setback to a <br />75' setback in one year. <br />Hurr asked if the DNR would review the proposal. <br />�- <br />
