MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING HELD ON OCTOBER 21, 1996 • ( #9 - #2183 Charles Kramer - Continued) Hawn moved, Schroeder seconded, to grant Application 92183, in part, for a conditional use permit to excavate a pond of the degenerated type 7 located in the rear yard behind the southwest pool and permit the applicant to place spoils 26' from any adjacent wetland on the property having previously located septic and building sites. The spoils are to be confined to the east side of outlot C with suitable erosion control steps taken under the direction of the City Staff. Kramer asked if this prevented him from placing spoils on the left side of the property. Hawn said it did. Schroeder commented that there was enough space and fewer spoils than originally planned. Hawn added that there was suitable vegetation on that lot before building and would require erosion control. Mabusth agreed. Schroeder asked that the motion include a 16 -112' edge around the perimeter of the pond be planted with plantings conducive to a wetland pond. The other type 7 wetland on the property is not to be altered. The applicant is to work with Staff regarding additional plantings. Vote: Ayes 6, Nays 0. • ( #10) #2184 BRIAN CARRINGTON,1920 SIXTH AVENUE NORTH - VARIANCES - PUBLIC HEARING - 10:04-10:09 P.M. The Affidavit of Publication and Certificate of Mailing were noted. The Applicant was present. Mabusth reported that the property is located on the north side of CoRd 6. There will be a new residence on the property. The existing residence is proposed to be converted into a storage structure and plumbing fixtures are to be removed. The issue lies in that the existing residence, now becoming an accessory structure, is located in front of the new principal structure and requires a variance. Carrington said he would like to maintain the heating system in order to work in the storage building. The heat would be used only when he is in the work shop refinishing antiques. Hawn asked if this can be done without maintaining water. Carrington said he would like to keep the well for watering the shrubs adding that the water would be turned off during the winter months. Carrington said the structure would be used as work space only. Hawn asked if there were any necessary repairs. Carrington said he would need to • reshingle next year and perform some repair of the foundation supports for the porches. 18
