MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING Monday, August 21, 2017 6:30 o'clock p.m. Barnhart suggested the average lakeshore setback be identified as part of preliminary plat approval. If both of the new homes are at 75 feet, that would be the average lakeshore line on both sides. Schoenzeit asked if the one-story limitation and sprinkler would be recorded on the title. Barnhart indicated it would be a restriction on the property if it is approved. Thiesse noted the Planning Commission has no control over the single -story limitation. Barnhart stated it would be up to that property owner to enforce the view easement and that the City would have a hard time denying a two-story house that meets City requirements based on a private agreement. Barnhart stated the sprinklers are enforceable by the City. Lemke asked if the sewer will work given its proximity to the water. Barnhart stated that is where the existing sewer is and that it would remain as is. Curt Fretham, Lake West Development, stated he is here to answer questions. Lemke asked if one unit would make it economically feasible to develop the property. Fretham noted it was originally platted as three lots and that what they are proposing is very reasonable in terms of the two homes. Fretham stated if the site was developed as one lot, he is not sure how big that house would get someday. Chair Thiesse opened the public hearing at 7:33 p.m. Tera White, 3560 Ivy Place, stated their house is located at the bottom of the hill and all the water runs down the hill and floods into the lower lot. White expressed a concern with adding hardcover and runoff to the already existing water that runs down the hill. White stated at times that creates a pond and that she is concerned they will have runoff onto their property after construction. White stated she is not sure a 10 -foot setback will be sufficient for a Swale between their house and this property. Page 5 of 19
