MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMNOSSION MEETING HELD ON AUGUST 21, 1995 (~14 - #2056 Michael & Barbara Wigley - Continued) Hawn said if the boulder walls were wanted to hold soil before revegetation, a landscaper should be able to provide plants that germinate quickly. Silt fencing w'as noted to be an option to prevent erosion into the lake while vegetation was germinating. Peterson moved, Schroeder seconded, to table Application 1=2056 for redesigning and gaining of a MCVHT) permit. .A.yes 6. Nays 0. Lindquist said the walls would more than likely be denied by the lake and is not in favor of going ahead with this proposal. Schroeder s^id if erosion was clearly shown, then he w ould be willing to look at the proposal. Smith said she did not see the project to include boulder walls. The applicant responded that her major concern for the project was the safety of her children. (#15) #2057 JAMES NYSTROM, 1745 CONCORDU STREET - VARIANCES - PIJBUC HEARLNG 10:58-11:22 P.M. The Certificate of Mailing and .Affidavit of Publication were noted. Mr. Nvstrom and his architect, Greg Frazee, were present, GaKfon reported that the application has been amended and is now proposed as a residential tear dowm and replacement The principal structure is presently located within . the 0-75' zone and is proposed at the 75' line with a 10' wide deck encroaching the 0-75 zone The detached garage will also be taken down and reconstructed to meet the setback requirements. Hardcover in the 0-75' zone would be significantly reduced with increases shown in the 75-250' and significantly so in the 250-500' zone. The side setback is proposed at 9.5' where 10' is required. The average lakeshore setback is also an issue to the house on the nonh. Lindquist asked if the deck and house could be moved back 10', resulting in no hardcover in the 0-75' zone. Frazee said this could be done but prefen ed the proposed scenario. The house to the south e.\tends into the 75' setback with a porch touching the side lot line. With the proposed house located at the 75' line, it allows the applicant to maintain the same view as the neighbor and the ability to look beyond the house. If the house is moved back 10’, the view of the lake would be limited. Lindquist said he had a problem with any structure in the 0-75'.
