MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION <br />MEETING HELD ON OCTOBER 16, 1995 <br />0 #5 - #2056 Michael and Barbara Wigley - Continued) <br />Gaffron said if the Planning Commission was in favor of the revision, clarification should <br />be provided on what walls could be erected and what fill or grading could be done. The <br />applicant was notified that it was not the intent of the Commission to recommend any <br />grading in the slope area containing poison ivy. <br />Lindquist said he was concerned with hardcover in the 0 -75' but was in favor of the walls <br />near the house. <br />Peterson said he did not recommend any retaining wall at the bottom of the hill and was <br />undecided on recommending the boulder wall at the top of the hill. He understood the <br />applicant's attempt in addressing concerns of the property. Although he was not in favor <br />of the retaining walls, he would give his approval for their construction. <br />Laue commented that the fabric was only in the area behind the retaining wall. It is his <br />intent to remove the fabric as the mulch will accomplish the same purpose. <br />Schroeder moved, Lindquist seconded, to recommend approval limited to the boulder wall <br />at the top of the hill only due to erosion problems. The approval is subject to the removal <br />of the fabric throughout the property. No grading is allowed down to the shore line. <br />a <br />Hawn inquired if all of the plantings as originally described would still occur. Laue said <br />the plantings as designed will be planted. He was unsure of what plantings would be done <br />on the slopes. Peterson emphasized that while planting on the slope was okay, no grading <br />could be done. Laue suggested, when asked, that the poison ivy be removed by leather <br />gloved hands during cold weather. <br />Vote: Ayes 5, Nays 0. <br />( #6) #2059 MINNEHAHA CREEK WATERSHED DISTRICT, 1485 SIXTH <br />AVENUE NORTH - VARIANCES /CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT (CONTINUED <br />TO NOVEMBER 20TH MEETING) <br />Peterson moved, Lindquist seconded, to table Application #2059 per the request of the <br />Minnehaha Creek Watershed District.
