MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br />Monday, May 16,2005 <br />6:00 o*dock p.m. <br />Gundlach stated one of the neighbors has contacted Staff today to notify the City that they have not seen <br />the latest revised plan. <br />Larry Palm stated he has submitted grading plans a number of times based on staff comments and that <br />they have taken steps to address all the concerns brought to their attention. <br />Gundlach stated the City Engineer did review grading plans one and two. Gundlach indicated the City <br />Engineer has not reviewed plans three and four, which were subniltted last week. <br />Palm stated plan two was drafted based on comments from the city engineer and in an effort to address <br />issues raised in the southwest corner. Palm stated grading plan number four is what they are proposing at <br />this time. Palm stated roof gutters and drain tile would be installed along the entire length of the house. <br />Rahn inquired whether there are any public comments regarding this application. <br />Maggie Erikson, 44SS Forest Lake Landing, stated they have had a number of discussions with the <br />applicants regarding the drainage. Erikson stated they handle the runoff from their property but that the <br />runoff fiom the hill needs to be addressed. Erikson stated in her opinion there is not adequate room for a <br />swale and that they would prefer the retaining wall along the property line. <br />Palm stated the only difference with plan number four from the previous plan is that the retaining wail is <br />located five feet off the property line to comply with the City’s regulations. Palm indicated he also would <br />prefer the retaining wall to be located along the property line. <br />Sandy Rasmussen, 1186 Wildhurst Trail, indicated she has had an opportunity to discuss the project with <br />the applicant and that she has two areas of concern, one dealing with erosion and the other dealing with <br />the trees along the property line. Rasmussen noted the property was originally covered with buckthorn <br />and that in the process of developing the property the lot had been clear-cut. <br />Rasmussen stated the house faces the lake and that in the area down to the water there are a number of <br />mature trees they would like to have protected during the construction process. Rasmussen stated the <br />applicant has assured them that the trees would not be impacted during the construction but that they <br />would like a fence to be erected while construction is ongoing. <br />PAGE 14 <br />r
