MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION <br />meeting held on august 21,1995 <br />(#10 - #2049 Fred Guttormson & Chic Dwight - Continued) <br />The applicants were present. <br />Gafiron reported the application was to replace an easting deck, along with the <br />construction of a screened porch under the deck. A walkout area would also be excavat^ <br />from what is now a split entry area. The existing deck is in poor condioon. Repla^ent <br />would be done of the total foundation as footings have been found to depths less than the <br />frost line. This would all occur within the 0-75’ setback area and require hardcover and <br />average lakeshore setback variances. The residence is 42' from the lake, and the 8x24 <br />deck would be located 34' from the lake. Drainage on the property comes from the <br />mature trees toward the proposed screen porch area. It is questioned whether this could <br />be flattened out, retaining walls about 1' in height be constructed, or ground cover <br />established to aid the drainage. <br />A letter from the DNR was read into the minutes recommending denial of the apphe^on <br />based on the existing house being within 75’ of the lake and proposed porch wd dwk <br />increasing the nonconformity of the house. The porch and deck would also be withm the <br />37.5' shore impact zone. <br />Gafl&on noted that the hardcover would be at 8.48%, resulting in a minimum increase in <br />the hardcover from existing. It would, however, lend more permanenc>'. <br />Two have been removed as well as an 8' gravel driveway locat^ in the 0-75' <br />zone, which has not been revegetated. New gravel has been placed for the loop driveway. <br />lakeside. <br />Peterson said the appUcation has several issues. He felt the fiUmg on the top dr^sing <br />down to the lake should meet approval. The accessory structure to the south should be <br />removed It was felt the retaining walls would create problems and not solve any. <br />The applicant said she has seeded three times and erosion has wash^ it out. It is so <br />shaded^that sod will not grow and thought a wall would help. It is the applicant s desire to <br />keep the property natural. <br />Peterson fell the sliding doors wetJd meet his approval but found the deck and screened <br />porch were issues needing discussion.
