?MINUTES OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING HELD JULY 18, 1988 #k1291 ALFRED IVERSON-CONTINUED adhering to the 38.4% hardcover. Cohen asked what happens if in the final review, applicant is 2% off. Mabusth stated that they would be required to remove the 2% as hardcover is limited to 38.4%. It was moved by Kelley, and seconded by Hanson, to reaffirm ##1291 to be held at 38.4%. Motion, Ayes=7, Nays=O, Motion passed. #1300 ANTHONY EIDEN 2290 i 2340 ABINGDON WAY CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT Applipant was present for this matter. Zoning Administrator Mabusth stated that this matter pertains to the request for a Conditional Use Permit and a variance to encroach upon a DNR- protected, designated wetland area for the installation of a pond. The initial plan has since been revised so that the proposed pond is now out of the wetland area with a 20' setback separation. Most of the grading and filling will be done to the northwest and away from the wetland area. The change will not affect the drainfield. Appropriate erosion control must be maintained during the entire installation of the pond. The Applicant seeks a 20' setback to the designated wetland. If the plans could be revised to achieve 6 more feet, then a setback variance would not be required. Kelley questioned whether the plans would still allow for 2 acres of dry, buildable land on both lots. Applicant stated that both Lots 9 and 10 were over 2 acres, but he did not know the ratio of dry land to wetland. Johnson_ questioned if potential excess f lowage from the pond would flow oiit the wetland. Mabusth stated that she had asked the Engineer and that there is no need for overflow in this area because the majority of drainage really goes toward the southeast. Kelley asked if seeding was a requirement immediately after grading and if so, what about watering the seed with the lack of rain and water conservation. Applicant stated that the project will not be completed until September and hopes for more rain around that time. Debbie Lewis, a neighbor across from Mr. Eiden's property, was concerned with the water level of the pond and the stagnant water in the pond becomming a mosquito breeding ground. Mabusth asked Applicant if he planned any form of aeration to piohibit stagnation of the pond water. Mr. Eiden said that he had not given any thought to aeration and that the water level would vary with the rainfall. Ms. Lewis expressed her concern also about the possibility of algae growing as a result of the lawn chemicals. Kelley added that in his opinion a small pond would not increase the mosquito population to a noticeable degree, especia�ly since half of Orono is wetlands or lake. it was moved by Kelley, seconded by Hanson, to approve #1300, Anthony Eiden Conditional Use Permit for wildlife pond, sul,ject to the condition that the 2 lots maintain the 2 acre dry, buildable requirement and 26' setback must be met. Motion, Ayes=7, Nays=O, Motion passed. 4
