MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING HELD ON MARCH 20, 1905 (#4 - #1999 - David and V'icki Vickerman - Continued) Mabusth responded that the only allowed structure would be the 4x8' landing as part of the access stair structure. Rowiette informed the applicant that the area where the boathouse is would need to be stabilized but could provide an area to sit and et^oy the lake but no deck would be allowed The need to eliminate hardcova* in the 0-75* zone was emphasized The applicant was informed that open-timbered decking is considered hardcover because the timber does not absorb water The deck as proposed would not allow any vegetation to grow underneath it and wxxild result in runoff into the lake. Added vegetation on properties to improve water runoff was discussed The applicant was informed of the need for a plan for the removal of the boathouse with stabilizing of the area possibly through retaitting walls If retaining walls are required, a conditional-use permit would also be required The Planning Commission would review the plans for approval which would be forwarded to the Council for final approval. It was reemphasized that the code only allows for a 4x8' landing on the access stairs. Schroeder moved, Nolan seconded, to table application #1999 until the April Planning Commission meeting. At that time, the applicam will present a plan for the boathouse removal, hill stabilization, and landing, amending the original application to a conditional use permit Ayes 7, Nays 0 (#5) #2001 POWDER PACKERS, INC,/RHONDA E.
