Tb: From: Date: Mayor Grabek Orono Council Members City Administrator Bernhardson Jeanne A. Mabusth, Building & Zoning Administrator May 6, 1988 Sul, ject: Todd Waters 3061 Casco Point Road - Request to Amend C-.�uncil Directive of Resolution #2292 Counc' 1 directed Mr. Waters to completely restores tI lakeshore yard by :tune 1J, 1988. Staff has met with Mr. Waters ou• a* ;ite and discussed the restoration. The enclosed final plan is the f ilmination of that proposed restoration work. The lakeshore yard will be restored to its original state. There will be two retaining walls rather than three. The original two tiered timber walls adacent to the lakeshore have been replaced with a single boulder retaining wall. All retaining walls on the property will be cons:-ucted with the boulders. The wall adjacent to the lakeshore will be approximately 3' to 3 1/2' high. The second tiered w& l 1 will be approximately 4 1/2' high. Waters plans to install plantings along the outer edges of the wall to provide screening. The 1 to 1 sloped banks along the shoreline will remain, tre rip -rapping of the shoreline has commenced. The area to the immediate north of the lakeside retaining wall will be at 2 1/2 to 1 . ,e rather than the original 1 to 1, 2 to 1 slope. This will allow grass oe restored in the area and ease of maintenance. The rest of the yard wi . be restored to the original Trade.

The drainage issue for the property will be better resolved when we receive the final study information from the city engineer's office. with this information we will be able to determine the correct size for the underground drain tile to be restored in the yard. The original ,,gas a". The applicants request to amend Councils original directive involves the fill adjacent to house. Staff can confirm that if fill is restored around the house, the house would have tc, be raised a m.irlimum of 6" and there is no assurance that you can protect the sheet rock walls from cracking. This type or restoration and alteration of the foundation is necessary if soils are to be replaced against the lower walls. Waters has asked for special consideration and requests that filling stop approximately 8' from ttie house and installing a retaining gall approximately 5' in height, once again, constructed of boulders. This wall would encroach no closer to the lakeshore than the original foundation, which if Council remembers lines up with the setback of the lakeside deck. The drainage t`)at would be collected in this area would be picked up via a catch basin that would be connected to the underground drainage rile. There is no question that the wa l 1 could be placed closer to house, but the 8' wi l 1 allow the grass to return, as Council will not approve any hardcover lakewood of the existing house at that point. The retaining wall will also 1ine up with the
