^GULAR MEETING OP THE ORONO COUNCIL, AUGUST 14, 1979 <br />Staff Update - Alan Olson - July 30, 1979 <br />On July 26, 1979, Alan Olson and Glenn Cook met with <br />Jim Orr, Mr. Smerling's engineer, on the site to <br />review this proposal. The bank has slipped with <br />the remaining soil on about a 60^ angle which <br />definitely needs some stabilization. <br />Mr. Kelley's letter suggests one "retaining wall"; <br />however, Mr. Orr notes that two or more subsurface <br />stabilization walls may be necessary. The purpose <br />of these buried "walls" is to contain new fill so <br />that vegetation can be reestablished. The vegetation <br />’will eventually do as much or more to limit future <br />slipage than will the wall. <br />Staff expects a sketch plan and section of the <br />proposal before the Council meeting so that the <br />project cem be visualized. We also recommend <br />approval of the proposal without further delay. <br />The original slipage occurred last summer and <br />should be repaired before another winter freeze. <br />Staff also recommends that Council consider an <br />amendment to the zoning code to permit staff review <br />and issuance of permits for similar corrective work. <br />This will serve to permit quick response to emergency <br />shoreline protection. Particularly where the work <br />involves no permanent exposed structure, staff <br />should be allowed to permit necessary grading and/or <br />filling to stabilize eroding bluffs in the same <br />way that we now issue routine riprap permits. <br />Coxincil Meeting - August 14, 1979 <br />Mr. t Mrs. aserling %#ere present. <br />0 <br />Massengale moved, Paurus seconded, to accept the <br />plan as presented by Louis Smerllng, 2683 Casco <br />Point Road, for a conditional use permit to xestore <br />his lakeshore slope to original grade and to control <br />erosion, subject to no guarantee on the part of the <br />City that it is a workable plan. Motion, Ayes (5) - <br />Nays (0)• <br />Butler moved, Massengale seconded, to direct staff to <br />prepare an amendment to the zoning code to permit <br />staff review and issuance of permits to residents for <br />the control of the erosion of their shorelines. <br />Motion, Ayes (5) - Nays (0)• <br />Page 13 <br />CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT <br />2683 Casco Point Road <br />(Continued) <br />EROSION CONTROL
