• ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br />MINUTES FOR SEPTEMBER 15,1997 <br />( 46 - 2283 Gary and Bonnie Birnbaum - Continued) <br />Mr. Birnbaum asked for consideration regarding the stipulation of removing the fence. It is located <br />on the edge of the property at the edge of the access road for the public beach. The area is uneven <br />and receives heavy traffic. The fence would provide for safety as there is no shoulder on the road. <br />There is also alot of snowmobile traffic during the winter months. Without the fence, the <br />snowmobilers would travel across the property onto Kelly Avenue instead of using the access road. <br />There were no public comments. <br />Smith asked the applicant if he has reviewed the Staff recommendations. Birnbaum said he supports <br />the recommendation with the exception for hardcover being reduced on Lot 2 and request the fence <br />remain. <br />Lindquist asked whether there was any reason why the fence cannot be moved onto Birnbaum's <br />property. Birnbaum said there was not much land left as the land has eroded. Berg noted that a <br />person can no longer walk out to the point. <br />• McMillan said it appears that what land is there is different from that shown on the survey. Stoddard <br />inquired how old the survey was. Van Zomeren said the survey was inaccurate regarding hardcover <br />and total acreage based on the applicant's phone call. Lindquist suggested approval be subject to an <br />updated survey. <br />is <br />Schroeder moved to approve Application #2283 subject to Staff recommendations with the exception <br />that the fence be allowed to remain on City property and an updated survey be provided prior to <br />application review by Council. <br />Stoddard responded that he felt the updated survey would show circumstances different than that <br />shown on the submitted survey. Birnbaum acknowledged that erosion has occurred. Stoddard <br />indicated that the water is hitting the fence area. <br />Schroeder received confirmation that the application is to enable the property to be one buildable <br />lot. <br />Stoddard noted that the property is in the one acre zoning district and consists of .52 acre and .6 acres <br />with the additional strip of land. This falls short of the requirement. Stoddard said he would like <br />to see what land exists. <br />23 <br />
