MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION <br /> Monday,August 19,2019 <br /> 6:30 o'clock p.m. <br /> Rick Hendel, Hendel Homes, apologized for the oversight,which occurred because the homeowner <br /> changed landscaping plans midstream. The hauling occurred after road restrictions were restricted and it <br /> was never their intent to violate the City's regulations. <br /> Libby stated an additional 13 dump trucks is noticeable to the neighbors, but under the circumstances, he <br /> has no objections to the after-the-fact IUP. <br /> Hendel commented it was really bad soil as well. <br /> Chair Ressler opened the public hearing at 7:03 p.m. <br /> There were no public comments relating to this application. <br /> Chair Ressler closed the public hearing at 7:03 p.m. <br /> McCutcheon commented there were a lot of moving parts and it appears to be an oversight. <br /> Libby stated given the amount of fill hauled, a before the fact application would have been more <br /> appropriate,but that he has no objection to the after-the-fact IUP. <br /> Erickson stated he is in support of the application as recommended by Staff. <br /> Gettman commented he is uncomfortable that there was not some type of notification along the way to <br /> anyone at the City but that he is unsure how that could have been resolved. Gettman stated he has no <br /> issues with it. <br /> Ressler stated there were a lot of moving parts to the project and that he will take the contractor at his <br /> word that this was an oversight due to all the moving parts with the landscaper. Further, it would not help <br /> to import the dirt back in and this contractor does not have a pattern of doing this type of thing. <br /> McCutcheon moved, Gettman seconded,to recommend approval of Application No. LA19-000055, <br /> Hendel Homes on behalf of Molly Zwettler,3345 Fox Street,granting of an after-the-fact Interim <br /> Use Permit. VOTE: Ayes 5,Nays 0. <br /> 4. LA18-000056 GREGG KATCHMARK, 140 LEAF STREET,VARIANCE,7:05 P.M.—7:10 <br /> P.M. <br /> Greg Katchmark,Applicant,was present. <br /> Oakden stated the applicant is requesting a creek setback variance. The property abuts the creek that <br /> flows from Lake Classen to Stubbs Bay, which is a protected tributary and subject to a 75-foot structure <br /> setback as well as the standard limitations on hardcover in the 0-75-foot zone. <br /> The applicant is proposing an enclosed porch to be built on top of the existing 16' x 24' deck. The <br /> footprint of the deck and building are not proposed to change. The variance is due to the massing <br /> increase with the addition of the roof on top of the deck. While the property was granted an enclosed <br /> deck in 2016 and the deck was constructed,the roof was not. <br /> Page 6 of 19 <br />
