It was noved by Chairnan Kelley, seconded by Bellows, to recomnend denial of the 3' excavation cut in the lakeshore yard and 0-75* hardcover variance; and recomnend approval of the average lakeshore setback variance to construct the deck as proposed. Motion, Ayes 3, Nays 1. Brown voted nay. Motion carried. #1233 NICHABL HALLBT BOMBS INC. 2715 PBMCB LAMB OOMOITIOBAL 08B PBBNIT ABD PARIABCB ANBBDBD APPLICATIOB - SBCOMD BBVIBH Architect Larry Kollmeyer was present representing Michael Halley Homes for this matter. Jacobs explained the request for a conditional use permit and variance to reconstruct an existing retaining wall within 75' of the lake; and install a drainage pipe within 75’ of the lake. Chairman Kelley read the City Engineer's recommendation of this proposal. It was noted that the proposal includes constructing a walkout basement with a berm between the home and the lake. Bellows felt that they were being asked to solve a problem (through a variance to the ordinance) that is being created by the proposed design. Chairman Kelley asked Mr. Kollmeyer what the hardship was to support granting the variance and conditional use permit for the drainage pipe? Mr. Kollmeyer did not indicate any specific hardship, but questioned why a drainage pipe buried below the surface of the yard would be a problem? Bellows explained that an outlet pipe to the lake is not in the spirit of Orono's protection of disturbing the lakeshore and water quality. She further explained that the proposal is creating an unatural drainage situation, a solution affecting the 0-75' lakeshore yard being created by the desire for a walkout basement. Mr. Kollmeyer felt a 6-10" pipe would have an minimal physical effect to the lakeshore. 8
