CITY OF ORONO <br />PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br />Monday, May 15,2017 <br />6:30 o'clock p.m. <br />looking at other areas along the shore that had washed out in the past. Bailey indicated that then led him <br />to Ron Anderson, who designed this approach. Baily stated based on his experience, the repairs will work <br />rather than having to do a whole re -grading of the shoreline. <br />Bailey noted this is a residence and that a commercial building will not be built on this lot. Bailey <br />commented his proposed solution is better than what currently exists and that it will not be possible to <br />obtain an engineer's signature on his plan unless they cut the slope way back and obtain a 1: 1 slope. <br />Thiesse stated his main concern is with regards to the Filtrex, which says that it should be a 2:1 slope. <br />Thiesse noted he would need further information on the Filtrex. <br />Ron Anderson, Final Grade, Incorporated, noted the Filtrex is used in the early stages until the plantings <br />are established. Anderson indicated Filtrex was used on the Wayzata Old Muni site and that they <br />successfully completed that project approximately five years ago. This project proposes an eight inch <br />thick Filtrex, which is a little deeper and stronger and steel rods can be run into it if necessary. Anderson <br />noted they are unsure how much they will have to excavate on that slope to get it to be stable. <br />Chair Thiesse opened the public hearing at 8:08 p.m. <br />Roger Frommelt, 2805 Casco Point Road, noted he lives next door and that he had a similar catastrophic <br />event. Frommelt stated he has lived in his house for 48 years and that he is really riding on John Bailey's <br />coattails when it comes to this project since he does not have the resources to do all the investigating. <br />Frommelt stated if what John is proposing is approved, he might do what John is doing depending on the <br />costs. Frommelt noted the slope lasted for at least 50 years and that what Mr. Bailey is proposing is better <br />than what it was to begin with. Frommelt noted the soil in the area is mostly clay, which might be why it <br />held for so long. <br />Chair Thiesse closed the public hearing at 8: 10 p.m. <br />Thiesse commented there is a reason why engineers want to go back further <br />
