CITY OF ORONO <br />PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br />Monday, May 15,2017 <br />6:30 o'clock p.m. <br />Anderson stated they do have a slope stability analysis done. Anderson stated clay is amazingly structural <br />and that the issue is that the filtration that has happened has to be removed. <br />Schoenzeit asked if there is any hydraulic pressure coming from behind the house. <br />Anderson indicated there is not and that they are not changing the existing drainage patterns. Anderson <br />stated they could have an engineer look at the piping, the sizing, and the water volume and include that in <br />their information. Anderson stated that way they will know it will handle the water volume. Anderson <br />indicated they are just trying to stabilize the slope and not impede on the neighbors. <br />Schoenzeit stated that might be an opportunity to get another opinion and another set of eyes to look at it, <br />which would up the confidence. <br />Leskinen stated regardless of what the Planning Commission recommends, they can still argue their case <br />before the City Council. <br />Thiesse indicated he would be okay with sending this forward to the City Council. <br />Schoenzeit stated there is a lot to be said about the fact that the property owners can do nothing and that <br />what is being proposed is an improvement. Schoenzeit stated the homeowner is willing to take the risk, <br />and having another set of eyes look at it will help make it a better project. <br />Olson moved, Schwingler seconded, to recommend approval of Application No. 17-3939, John <br />Bailey, 2807 Casco Point Road, granting of a conditional use permit subject to the applicant <br />obtaining engineer comment and/or certification regarding the drainage structures. <br />VOTE: Ayes 5, Nays 0. <br />
