MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING CO>fMlSSION MEETING Monday, November 18,2002 6:30 o’clock p.m. someone who could design a plan for him. Gaffron stated that the City supplied him with a name,jiothing further, they did not suggest to Ed he design a boulder wall, they merely asked him to give the City a plan that might work. The City got a plan, we are starting to react to it, and we are now asking the Planning Commission whether this is a plan that will function aesthetically, and fiom an engineering standpoint, if this is a plan they could support. Ed Gustafson agreed that there were many issues to resolve and that he had been working with MCWD and the City to design a plan. He pointed out that the plan suggests boulders as a technique of dealing with the erosion problem. Manley explained that, previously, there was no riprap along the shoreline and when he approached the City to obtain a permit to restore the shoreline, the City told him to get a permit from the MCWD. He indicated that they had obtained the MCWD permit and began restoration using riprap until the City told them to stop and obtain a permit from them as well. Since that time, several staff members have met at the site and advised Gustafson and the applicant on the design plan. Manley indicated that he had assumed the entire project would be done this year, as he was sure the neighbors had hoped as well. He asked whether they should continue to go through each item. Chair Smith agreed that they could attempt to work through each item, however, she was uncertain how much could be decided this evening because so many of the issues required further discussion with staff.• Based on the applicant’s ear lier acknowledgement. Chair Smith noted that the shed would be removed. With regard to the gravel parking area, Hawn stated that it should not be included in the discussion since it was not his property. PAGE 28 of 28
