MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br />Monday, November 18, 2019 <br />6:30 o’clock p.m. <br />_____________________________________________________________________________________ <br /> <br />Page 3 of 46 <br /> <br /> <br />Mr. Rusty Kocon said there is one existing neighbor, and the lot on the west side is flat and no one is <br />there. The neighbor's dock to the east is on Carman Bay. <br /> <br />Ressler requested that Staff finish the presentation and the homeowner be available for questions and <br />clarifications after that. <br /> <br />Gettman asked Barnhart to point to where the dock will be located. He also asked about the area where <br />the ‘hand’ is. <br /> <br />Barnhart indicated the location on the map and stated the ‘hand’ is the adjacent property owner. <br /> <br />Ressler said it did not look like it would impact their ease of use or usability. <br /> <br />Barnhart agreed and said the dock would extend to the edge of the finger on the map, and indicated the <br />amount of space available for access. <br /> <br />Thiesse asked if there was any reason the Commission would ask the applicant to keep the dock out of the <br />Easement, to come in at an angle, as it would not add any more dock. <br /> <br />Barnhart asked which Easement. <br /> <br />Thiesse indicated the Stabilization Easement. <br /> <br />Barnhart said that it was within the Commission's rights. <br /> <br />Gettman asked what the Easement was for, if it was just a restoration. <br /> <br />Barnhart responded the red Easement indicated is the Sanitary Sewer Trunk Easement. <br /> <br />Thiesse stated he was referring to the other Easement. <br /> <br />Barnhart stated that area is the blue Easement, which is the Shoreline Stabilization. That allows work to <br />be done to stabilize the slope and add some material and vegetation. The Easement is not exclusive. It <br />allows projects that don't impact those goals, including docks. <br /> <br />Thiesse asked, if the Commission instructed the applicant to put safety equipment on something and they <br />either do it or don't do it or do it halfway, does the Commission have any liability. <br /> <br />Barnhart said the City Attorney could be asked that question. He did not raise that as a concern when <br />dealing with the dock at 2520 Shadywood.
