Mabusth, Zoning Administrator <br />Date:December 11, 1985 <br />Subject: #992 City of Orono - County Road and Spates Avenue <br />Conditional Use Permit and Variance - <br />Continuation of Public Hearing <br />Pertinent Ordinances: <br />Section 10.03, Subdivision 19 - Conditional Use Permit required <br />for land alteration <br />Section 10.55, Subdivision 8 - Variance required to fill or grade <br />within 75 feet of lakeshore. <br />List of Exhibits <br />Exhibit A <br />Exhibit B <br />Exhibit C <br />Exhibit D <br />Exhibit E <br />Exhibit F <br />Property Owners List <br />Certificate of Mailing <br />Affidavit of Publication <br />Sketch of Lake Access <br />Road Profile <br />Elevations <br />Review of Project <br />The City proposes upgrading Spates Avenue lake access. Fill will <br />be placed within the 14 feet wide access in order to raise and level out <br />the elevations up to County Road 15 approach. Cars will no longer have <br />to accelerate up the severe slope to get out onto County Road. A level <br />stopping area will be maintained for safe use. <br />The total amount of fill to be installed will equal approximately <br />44 to 50 cubic yards of fill. Note the proposed and existing <br />elevations on road profile. Staff is working with marina owner to <br />east side of access to remove both LP tank and any other obstructions <br />deemed hazardous for sighting. <br />Judy Boudreau of the DNR has advised that a permit is not required <br />because fill will not be placed below the 929.4 elevation. <br />Jim Mahady of the M.C.W.D. advises our engineer that formal <br />permitting may not be necessary and because of the limited amount of <br />fill may be administratively permitted within the next two days. <br />Staff recommends to approve the City of Orono's application for a <br />conditional use permit and variance to permit filling and grading <br />within 75 feet of the lakeshore based on the following findings: <br />1. Improvement will result in greater safety for users of lake <br />access. <br />2. Improvement will facilitate access off lake.
