LJ <br />MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION <br />MEETING HELD ON MARCH 20, 1995 <br />(#6 - #2003 - Art and Kathy Henningsen - Continued) <br />There were no public comments. <br />Mabusth reported on the drainage system for the property. Water drains from the wetland <br />to the SE under two culverts, into a pond, to an underground 100' culvert, located under <br />the applicant's driveway pavement, with an outlet at the grassed lakeshore yard draining <br />along a line of pine trees eventually to lake. No erosion was noted. Mabusth was <br />unaware of erosion problems of lakeshore bank area. Once the plastic is removed around <br />house, Mabusth and Nolan both said this might bring flooding problems to the lower level. <br />The applicant said that the builder assessed the hardcover in relation to drainage. The <br />builder plans to build up around the foundation with soil. Water has pooled in the lower <br />level entry. The drain tile pumped water out but drained back into the house. The grading <br />needs to be looked at. <br />Commission members were asked for their viewpoints. Schroeder is concerned with <br />making a distinction between structural and non - structural hardcover. Nolan commented <br />favorably on the use of natural vegetation between the house and lake. Lindquist thought <br />the plan was ambitious but had no problem with it. He earlier made note of the large <br />• amount of up -front structure with the two patios and deck in comparison with the <br />hardcover removals required. Rowlette noted the long narrow lot and how that resulted in <br />the hardcover pooling in one area. <br />• <br />Lindquist moved, Berg seconded, to approve Application #2003 with the understanding <br />that the plastic under the rock and hardcover removal be completed prior to the footing <br />inspection for the new construction. Detail grading and drainage plans will need to be <br />reviewed by City Engineer.

The French <br />Lake Upper Basin has been redefined as wetland and is no classified as a protected lake. <br />The property is no longer located within a shoreland area. The RR -1 B zoning requires <br />two acres of continuous dry land. <br />8 <br />
