MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION <br />MEETING HELD ON SEPTEMBER 18. 1995 <br />(#15- #2072 Gravdon Newman, Jr - Continued) <br />Gaftron reported that the property is located on Bohn's Point and contains a house and <br />carriage house The application is for hardcover and lakeshore setback variances and land <br />alteration permit in the 0-75' zone to allow reconfiguration of lakeshore access walkways <br />and shoreline improvement to include sand fill and boulder wall improvements The <br />existing deck platform located at the shoreline was found to be encroaching into the <br />neighboring property. The proposal is to remove the deck platform and construct a new 5' <br />wide walkway laterally in the 75' zone leading to the dock, which will be moved over into <br />the applicant's property The application is also to support the existing stone wall with <br />additional stone and add another course of rip rap with sand and plantings between the rip <br />rap and wall The Engineer suggested removal of hardcover pavers. The rip rap is <br />located all along the property The plan calls for the additional stone in a smaller area. <br />The deck itself will not be replaced. <br />Smith asked why a 5' iristead of a 4' walkway to the dock. Gustafson said it was in order <br />to use the existing heavy modular materials. Schroeder asked if 4' would work in this <br />application and was told it would <br />Gustafson noted the rip rap alone is not enough to maintain the shoreline on a busy day on <br />the lake The stone pads keep the waves from eroding the area and undermining the rip <br />rap it was his opinion that only way to help would be to add another course of rip rap. <br />Smith said the present configuration seems to be working for the maintaining of the <br />property <br />Schroeder moved. Smith seconded, to approve Application #2072 with the walkway <br />amended to a 4' width and to leave the patio blocks in place <br />There were no public comments <br />Vote Ayes 5, Nays I, Rowlette, who felt the concrete blocks should be removed <br />(#16) #2073 WILLIAM AND SUSAN DUNKLEY, 2709 WALTERS PORT LANE <br />VARIANCES/CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT - PUBLIC HEARING 11:10-11:45 <br />P.M. <br />The Certificate of Mailing and Affidavit of Publication were noted. <br />The applicants were present
