MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION <br />MEETING HELD ON JANUARY I6, 1996 <br />• <br />(#11 - #2098 Karl and Paul Romportl - Continued) <br />Schroeder moved, Lindquist seconded, to table Application #2098. Vote: Ayes 4, Nays <br />0. <br />f #12j #2100 ROBERT AND DEBRA EDMUNDS, 1030 TONKAWA ROAD - <br />VA.RIANCE /CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT - PUBLIC HEARING -10:37 -10:49 <br />P.M. <br />The Certificate of Mailing and Affidavit of Publication were noted. <br />Architect, Blake Bichanich, represented the applicants. <br />Mabusth commented that houses on both sides of this property were of recent <br />construction. The structure on this property will be removed and new construction is <br />proposed. The property is in the I -acre zoning district and meets the area requirement at <br />1 -1/2 acres. The lot width, however, is not met at 101', where 140' is the standard, <br />requiring a variance. A conditional use permit is also required for the filling of 550 to 600 <br />cubic yards of fill to create a walkout. The fill will come from the excavation of an <br />attached two story garage. The use of the fill is to remedy the runoff from property to <br />north and create a stable building site. 550 cubic yards of fill will be used to prepare and <br />• fill the building pad. Mabusth reported that there is a concern with drainage as the <br />construction to the north has impacted this property. Drainage swales are planned along <br />the sides of the house. Boulder walls, originally proposed over 4' in height, will now be <br />amended not to exceed 4. It was noted that the proposal will meet the hardcover <br />requirements. <br />• <br />Bichanich said the cutting of elevations at north side lot line will allow for access to the <br />lower level storage of garage. The two retaining walls will be built to direct runoff so as <br />not to disturb the existing drainage. Bichanich said the creation of a full walkout on the <br />north and lake sides will alleviate the water and drainage problem. On the other side, fill <br />will be brought in and retaining wall built to hold water from entering property to south. <br />This will direct the water back in on the lot to naturally flow to the lake. <br />Hawn inquired what will be done to disburse the water as there was alot of water to <br />channel. Bichanich said he would contour it down to the 75' line to allow runoff to fan <br />out at lakeshore. <br />Lindquist asked how the new design sits on the lot in comparison to the existing house. <br />Bichanich said the main floor of the existing house sits lower than the lowest level of the <br />proposed house. <br />18 <br />
