TO: Chair Hawn and Orono Planning Commission Members <br />Ron Moorse , City Administrator <br />FROM: Wendy Bottenberg, Zoning Administrator/Planner <br />DATE: October 7, 2002 <br />SUBJECT: #02-28.34 Robert Wiens <br />1425 Bay Ridge Road <br />Conditional Use Permit -Public Hearing <br />Zoning District: LR-IA One Family Lakeshore Residential District (2 acre) <br />List of Exhibits: <br />A Application <br />B Survey <br />C Engineer Comments <br />D Sewer Map <br />E Photo of Property <br />F Plat Map <br />G Property Owners Notification List <br />Conditional Use Permit Required (Section 10.03, Subdivision 19): <br />A conditional use permit is required for land alteration of greater than 500 cubic yards . The property <br />is located within a shoreland area. The CUP allows the City to notify surrounding property owners <br />and requires City Council approval for such proposed projects. <br />Application Summary: <br />The property owner has requested a conditional use permit to permit land alteration on the property <br />over 500 cubic yards . The project will be to build a berm along the northern border of the property <br />along North Shore Drive. It will be located behind an existing row of large evergreen trees . The <br />berm will aid additionally to screen traffic noise from North Shore Drive. In September 2002 , the <br />Building Official issued a land alteration permit allowing 500 cubic yards to be brought onto the <br />subject property. Approximately 1,500-2,000 cubic yards of additional fill will be required to build <br />the berm. The applicants are obtaining the fill from projects in Long Lake. <br />The berm is proposed to be approximately 8 feet at the highest point and will curve as indicated on <br />the survey (Exhibit B). The applicant has indicated that the berm will be hydro seeded with prairie <br />grass and 30-40 evergreens will be planted on it. There currently is a row of smaller evergreens <br />where the berm is proposed to be located. These trees will be moved and upon completion of the <br />berm will be planted on it. The berm and plantings will have no impact on traffic sight-lines and <br />would appear to have no negative impacts on site drainage. <br />#02-2834 <br />1425 Bay Ridge Road <br />October 11 , 2002 <br />Page I of2 <br />3 6
