• ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br />MINUTES FOR SEPTEMBER 15,1997 <br />( #11 - #2290 Elaine and Steve Silus - Continued) <br />Silus said he was not requesting to run the wall down to the roadway but only about 75' down. It <br />would end at the point where he could gain access. Silus said he did assume that the wall could be <br />closer than 5'. He indicated other neighbors have walls closer than 5'. Silus said he was unaware <br />of the ordinance. He said he thought the boulder wall would present a natural look but would be <br />satisfied with an interlocking wall system. <br />Lindquist asked if the wall would be at 2 -1/2' from the property line or on the lot line. Silus said the <br />landscaper put the wall on the lot line but would be 5' off the lot line. He would like to move part <br />of the wall to maintain a contour. <br />Hawn questioned how plowing would occur. Silus indicated that he has not infringed on the <br />neighboring property in the past. Hawn felt this could create a problem for the neighbor. Silus said <br />he blows the snow up to where the existing garage is currently located. <br />Lindquist noted the need for new notification and updated hardcover with changes for the wall and <br />back -out area. He asked that the location be provided along with who would make the <br />• determination. Van Zomeren said she would like Greg Gappa to review the application. <br />Schroeder suggested tabling the application, and Lindquist asked that direction be given. <br />• <br />Silus said he would like the opportunity to work with Staff within the hardcover guidelines <br />authorized in February, 1997. <br />Dave Spilseth said the 60' wide lot is too narrow to provide for a side loading garage. He suggested <br />a straight -in approach. <br />Lindquist indicated the City Engineer would have to be consulted. <br />Jay Richards, who lives two homes away to the north, said he did not receive notification. He <br />reported that the problem with dividing the lots arose four years ago and the problems created should <br />have been foreseen. He noted the wall is straight and has no arch to it. Silus indicated that the site <br />plan was approved by Lyle Oman in June. <br />Schroeder moved, Lindquist seconded, to table Application #2290 to allow for proper public <br />notification and hardcover calculations. The applicant is directed to speak with neighbors regarding <br />the proposal. <br />31 <br />
