CITY OF ORONO <br />RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL <br />NO.7639 <br />C4. Designed to be the minimum size necessary to control the erosion problem; the increase in <br />size of the proposed wall can better provide soil retention and help reduce the impacts of <br />stormwater on the building. <br />Based on the application and the evidence submitted, the Council finds that the proposed use at the <br />proposed location is or will be: <br />C5. Consistent with the community management plan; the walls are proposed to address existing <br />and persistent slope stability and soil retention issues, an aspect consistent with the Plan; <br />and <br />C6. Compliant with the zoning code, including any conditions imposed on specific uses as <br />required by article V, division 3 of the City Code; retaining walls within the lakeyard are <br />permitted where they are deemed necessary to protect the integrity of a slope. The existing <br />wall has deteriorated and without improvement, the conditions of the slope are negatively <br />impacting the building; and <br />C7. Adequately served by police, fire, roads, and stormwater management; the Property meets <br />this standard; and <br />C8. Provided with an adequate water supply and sewage disposal system; the Property meets <br />this standard; and <br />C9. Not expected to generate excessive demand for public services at public cost; this proposal <br />is not anticipated to impact public services; and <br />C10. Compatible with the surrounding area as the area is used both presently and as it is planned <br />to be used in the future; the proposed wall is replacing a wall in poor condition and will better <br />retain soil of the slope that sits above the channel between bays. The proposed wall is <br />compatible with the area, and is better suited for the conditions of the slope than the existing <br />wall; and <br />C11. Consistent with the character of the surrounding area, unless a change of character is called <br />for in the community management plan; the proposed walls are consistent with the character <br />of the surrounding area, as they are only extended to better address the conditions and <br />drainage patterns of the slopes; and <br />C12. Compatible with the character of buildings and site improvements in the surrounding area, <br />unless a change of character is called for in the community management plan; the proposed <br />walls are compatible with the character of the other lakeshore improvements in the <br />surrounding area; and <br />93 <br />
