MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION <br />MONDAY, MARCH 19, 2018 <br />6:30 o'clock p.m. <br />Landgraver asked if the two adjacent lots are required to be hooked up to city sewer. <br />Curtis indicated they are not. <br />Lemke asked whether there is any septic system for the horse barn. <br />Dayton stated the barn connects into the guest house and there is a septic system there. Dayton indicated <br />it is not a permanent residence and there are no horses. <br />Lemke asked whether it is a totally separate system from the house. <br />Dayton indicated it is. <br />Chair Thiesse opened the public hearing at 6:50 p.m. <br />There were no public comments. <br />Chair Thiesse closed the public hearing at 6:50 p.m. <br />Landgraver stated in his view there are extenuating circumstances for the average lakeshore setback and <br />that it will not block any views due to the trees. Landgraver stated he is comfortable approving a <br />variance. <br />Thiesse indicated he is in agreement with Commissioner Landgraver. <br />Dayton noted they were granted a variance ten years ago, which was extended for another year or two, but <br />that they never received any offers on the land so the plat was never filed. Dayton stated in his view there <br />is precedent to approve the average lakeshore setback variance. <br />Leskinen and Schwingler indicated they are in agreement with the comments made about the average <br />lakeshore setback. V <br />Lemke stated it seems like a long way to extend the sewer for one house and that perhaps it would be <br />more appropriate if the land was subdivided in the future. <br />Schoenzeit stated as long as the City Engineer feels the existing two septic sites do not need to be <br />replaced, then he would be okay with not extending the sewer. <br />Thiesse indicated he is in agreement. <br />Schoenzeit stated the Planning Commission could recommend that if the situation changes, the septic <br />situation be looked at again. <br />
