L. <br />Page 2. <br />Page 31. This shows the original findings of the Planning Commission <br />as presented to and passed by the City Council. <br />Noted Findings: A. Conforms to height requirements. <br />B. Hackberry tree was preserved. <br />C. Reduced hardcover. <br />D. The residence conforms more closely to the <br />average lakeshore setback than the former <br />structure. <br />E. One story design used. <br />F. No negative comments were received from the <br />adjacent property owners. <br />I must emphasis, adjacent property owners were aware of the side <br />entry garage at this time with no objections. This was the time <br />to express their concern, not after construction was started. <br />Page 36. Note a) The Site Plan which is stamped, approved, and signed <br />by Lyle Oman on The City of Orono clearly shows a boulder wall within <br />the five (5) foot area in question. Mr. Oman stated to me in the city <br />offices that this was an oversight on his part. I truly take him at <br />his word. Hov»ever, so was our oversight as to the five (5) foot <br />setback ordinance. <br />Page 36. Note b) We have agreed to go to a block constructed wall <br />within the five (5) foot area. This wall does not need to be <br />engineered for it is only 42” high at the highest point. <br />Page 36. Note c) The third line should read: The approval on the site <br />building plans show the wall two (2) feet off the lot line. The grade <br />of the garage was lowered per recommendations of the building <br />inspector. <br />Page S'/. Note a) None of the properties opposing construction of the <br />retaining wall have ever asked questions of us as to where the wa <br />would run. The current drawings show its position. I was not aware <br />of the ordinance in issue. This ordinance was an oversight on my <br />part, my builders part, Lyle Oman's part, and the surveyors part. Our <br />oversight', was driven by our neighbors to the north being allowed <br />access to the five (5) foot area of question (this poses no problems <br />to anyone), by Lyle Oman's approval of the site plans, by no knowledge <br />of the ordinance by the surveying company, and total non <br />acknowledgement of the ordinance. Even though we had thought that a <br />bo'xlder wall would be more natural to the area, we have agreed to go <br />to the interlocking wall system if used within the five (5) foot area. <br />•. iN Mie I' f> awwi IT* e m\ ii\rDv MMw A -................................................................................................~ ■ — — -■ * —-.i-i".'.-' 'J
