u MINUTES OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING HELD MiRCH 21, '098 #1256 MWCC CONTINUED tor. Carlson noted that he objected :.o the basis of the sewer per se and as a property owner he is not satisfied that an alternative method to drainwuter being passed into the sanitary sewer has been answered properly which is unfair to the residents of Orono. Chairman Kelley stressed the importance of adhering the the minimum 2-5 acre lot standard;- in order to minimize the need for sanitary sewer around the lake. #1218,,ESTATE OF RUTH SMITH "iii:0RONO ORCHARD ROAD SUBDIVISION THIRD REVIEW This application wat; cabled per applicant's request. #1223 JOHN WALDRON 1951 CONCORDIA STREET CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT & VARIANCE REFERRAL FROM COUNCIL FOR REVIEW OF REVISED PROPOSAL John Waldron was present for this matter. Gaffron explained the revised proposal for grading, which would cut approximately half of the lakeshore yard down to a depth of 3' below the existing surface. He also reviewed the options to restore the lakeshore bank. Staff finds that from both the short and long-term lake water quality standpoints, there would be no significant impact relative to other options. From a stability standpoint, some options are better than others. From a visual standpoint, the revised proposal will have less of an impact than the original deep walk -out cut proposal. Bellows felt that because of the existing grade, a 3' cut would create more drainage into the lake. She suggested another relatively inexpensive stabilization option that is similar to the cribbing system using posts and concrete footings, and then completed with plantings. Chairman Kelley felt that the 3' cut would Cause other problems, however, if the cut was allowed, it should he done along the entire width of the property. He was more in favor of stabilizing the bank by other means. Bellows stated that she too was in favor of stabilizing the bank properly without the need for the 3' cut. 11
