MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING HELD ON MARCH 18. 19% (#8 - #2116 John and Lynn Walstedt - Continued) Gustafson commented on the drainage on the site. The low spot on the property collects runoffin the wetland and takes h to an area near Bedcrwood. The change to the drainage would allow more drainage to the south to the county road. The County will review the plan for possible improvements on Bayside. but Gustafson felt the drainage by Bederwood was a larger problem. He did not see any potoitial for erosion and was in favor of the swale. There were no public ccnmients. Smith moved, Hawn seconded, to approve the conditional use permit for the new construction and for the erosion control with County review prior to project beginning. Vote: Ayes 4, Nays 0. (Schroeder was not in attendance during this application and did not participate in the vote. Hawn was excused from the meeting at this time.) (#9) #2117 THOMAS MCCUNE, 1473 BAY RIDGE ROAD - CONDITIONAL USE PERMITA'ARIANCE - PUBLIC HEARING - 9:07-9:12 P.M. The Certificate of Mailing and Affidavit of Publication were noted. The Applicant was present. Mabusth noted that the property has suffered nuyor erosion problems. She recalled the emergency ordinance of 1987 allowing property owners to make repairs with Staff approval after a m^or rain storm. 24* of retaining walls at the northeast corner were in^led at that time. Mabusth commented that it has been the Engineer's recommendation to install masonry walls but the Engineer has approved the timber wail design and detail. The timber wall design ties in with what is presently on the property. Peterson commented on the necessity of the retaining walls with its proximity to the roadway. Peterson explained that the trend for masonry is being encouraged due to the eventual failing of timber-type walls. Mabusth said she had informed the applicant of the need for County permit but added that Dave Zetterstrom of the County had verbally voiced his approval. Berg moved. Smith seconded, to recommend approval of Application #2117 for a conditional use permit with Staff recommendations #1-4. Vote; Ayes 4, Nays 0.
