■Mil Dick lienson. City Ailministrator A. r. Olson, Asst. Zoning AcJministrator Vv DATl:: .mJECT: October 13, 1076 Rolxjrt Solie - 1085 North Arm Drive Conditional Use Permit - Crading and Pilling This application is persnant to Section 31.700 and 31.705 requiring a Conditional use Permit for grading and filling of any land, especially lakeshore property, within Orono. In this case, the work in question has been done, and staff has instructed Mr. .Solie'to seek Council approval. On August 8, 1976, staff received a complaint of work in progress on this property Investig.ation revealed a major excavation done with earth filled near to the shore ^d siltation of tlie water evident. A stop work order was posted and a tag was issued. Mr. .Solie was advised to make a permit application and to also seek approval from the other agencies. An application apparently was made to the MGVD because we have a copy of a letter from tiiem to Mr. .Solie on August 27, 1976, approving his request. Additional work was then apparently done prior to September 9, 1976 (without Orono Staff knoivledge) with an MOVD inspection as per tlieir letter to me on .September 29, 1976. The Conditional Use Pennit application was not made until September 20, 1976 (initially incwnplete; not updated until October 1, 1976) after a renewed request following staff's discovery of additional work having been done. At this point, the Minicipal Court has continued this case until the Council shall take action on this application. The work done includes cutting down a high bank and grading tlic dirt down toward lake level^ in one comer of the lot. Tlie lower level was filled up to 5 ft. high and to wi+! in 10 ft. of the summer water level. A creosoted tie retaining wall was erected on the lower end and approximately 2 dozen small trees have been planted. The slope has been seeded. Miile the drawing submitted is not technical, the nature of the work can easilv be seen on site. 1-'I
