MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING HELD JULY IS, 1994 (#2) #1941 LEE AND WANDA FISCHBACH - CONT. Smith voiced concern regarding loss of trees. Mabusth noted Janice Berg’s comments regarding the loss of a pine and that she encouraged the trees be saved and perhaps moved. Mr. Fischback said the trees were beautiful but block all view of the lake. Chair Schroeder noted the ordinance that prohibits tree removal within lakeshore property. Mr. Fischback said he intends to move one tree and other trees would remain in their present location. Smith felt accommodations could be made to lessen the strucniral hardcover on the back side which jets out towards the pond. She has no problem with the proposal for the front side. The lot has limitations but asked if other options could be considered. Rowlette also agreed the proposed stnicture would be too close to the pond. Discussion ensued regarding possible changes. The Planning Commission recommended the structure be placed no closer to tte pond than it is now with removal of all plastic and tree replacement. It was moved by Rowlette, seconded by Smith, to table Application #1941 for Lee and Wanda Fischback, 3135 North Shore Drive, to allow the applicants time to make the recommended changes to the plans Ayes 5, nays 0.
