MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br />Mondayt May 16« 2005 <br />0:00 o*dock p.m. <br />Rasmussen noted there are some trees that would be lost as a result of the construction and that they are <br />requesting that those trees be replaced on a three to one or four to one basts. Rasmussen stated they also <br />would like the applicant to bear the cost of removing those trees. <br />Rasmussen stated the natural grading of the property shifts direction from the north to the south towards <br />their property. Rasmussen stated their property is located two to three feet lower than the subject property <br />and that they would like some assurance that the runoff is addressed in that area. Rasmussen indicated <br />they would not be opposed to a berm in that area. <br />Rasmussen stated they do not have any issues with the layout and footprint of the house, but indicated <br />they would like to see the buffer replaced on their side of the swale. <br />There were no further public comments. <br />Kellogg indicated he has not had a chance to review the latest drainage plan until tonight. Kellogg stated <br />the previous concerns dealt with the drainage and how it should be handled. Kellogg stated some issues <br />for discussion are whether the size of the house is appropriate for the lot and is the footprint situated in the <br />right position. Kellogg stated the perception from the lake should be taken into account when considering <br />the two-tiered wall. <br />Kellogg stated the grades of the swale are also a concern, noting that a five percent swale is typically the <br />maximum on a slope without some further engineering. <br />Rahn inquired whether the height of the wall would be reduced as it goes further north up into tlie <br />property line. <br />Buchanich stated the height of the wall would decrease as it goes near the property line. <br />Kellogg stated in his opinion aliowing the wall to encroach within five feet of the property line is a better <br />solution. <br />Buchanich stated they would like to direct the drainage into the center of the lot. <br />Rahn stated he would like to see a gradual swale. Rahn inquired what type of screening is being proposed <br />and what type of materiab would be used to construct the wall. <br />PAGE IS
