■'1 IL ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION Monday, May 15,2000 (#2584 Andrew Rascher, Continued) lake. Smith commented the Planning Commission must look at what it will take to maintain what is existing and how to provide safe access down to the lake with a minimal amount of construction. Smith stated it is the policy of the City to stay away from a lot of terraced walls and to leave the area as natural as possible. Lindquist stated he is not capable of determining whether what currently exists is right or whether the retaining walls should be replaced. Lindquist stated he does have a problem with retaining walls being located in the 0-75 foot setback as a general rule, and suggested the Applicants speak with the City Engineer to see if something can be worked out which will be acceptable to all parties. Lindquist stated he would be hard pressed to go against the recommendations of the City Engineer. Lindquist suggested the matter be tabled to allow the Applicants time to discuss this matter further with the City Engineer. Smith commented that the engineering issues should perhaps be explored further, and agreed that the Applicants should perhaps speak with the City Engineer to discuss his recommendations. Weinberger stated the City Engineer will speak with the Applicant if so desired. Weinberger suggested the Applicants contact Wendy to arrange a meeting with the City Engineer.
