MINUTES OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING HELD NOVEMBER 19, 1984 PAGE 16 1881 KRUTZIG HOMES GoGtten stated that one way we protect drainage is to limit hardcover, and that the 250'-500' credit has only been used for existing situations, not for new lots for new construction. Rovegno stated that the property must accept the drainage that it has formally taken and not discharge at a faster rate or direct it other than the direction it has gone. That is a building matter. Lohmar questioned Krutzig about the fact that this is a "spec" house. What are they going to do? What kind of guarantee will be provided? Krutzig noted that the certificate of occupancy given by the City will be the guarantee because before it is issued everything is inspected by the building department. Gaffron noted that the grading will have to be done in a way that the water will flow onto the property in the past way. Also, you may be creating more of a problem by putting a house on this lot than was there before even if you stay behind the 930' elevation line. Kelley stated he would have a hard time approving a variance for hardcover since there is such a problem with water right now. Krutzig said he wasn't aware of a hardcover problem until after the permit application was made. Mabrsth had talked to the applicant prior to going to Council and suggested building a 2 story house or nuilding rather than out and reducing some of the hardcover because Council does not look favorably upon hardcover, variances. Gaffron noted that Krutzig was told before the permit was issued that we can't approve it with the decks and the extensive driveway. That was his risk to construct pilings before the additional requests were approved. McDonald questioned Krutzig about ever building a house in Orono before. He has but stated he was unaware of the hardcover stipulations until now. 4
