Area 4 - Applicant has placed from 4' to 8' of fill within a 100' by 360' corridor located along the shared lot lint of Lots 1 5 2 Lydiard's Park. 6. The Orono Planning Commission reviewed this application on April 21, 1386, and recommended approval of the after -the -fact variances for land alterations performed wiI- yin 75 feet of the lake and for the proposed installation of a y_ound water drain - field placed 10 feet from the shoreline per Municpal Zoning Code Section 10.21, Subdivision 2 and Section 10.55, Subdivision 8 and recommended approval of certain after -the -fact and proposed conditional use permits to permit the fill to remain along the shoreline (Area 1) and along the shared lot line (Area 4) and to install a foundation ground water drainfield (Area 2) and denied applicant's request to berm along the street lot line of Lot 2 Lydiard's Park (Area 3) based on the following findings: A) The 6 feet high berms are not compatible with surrounding neighborhood. The property is located off a limited use road that serves an old established lakeshore neighborhood on a small peninsula. B) The six feet berms would destroy the natural open yard appearance and ambiance of this neighborhood. C) The use or locating of solid, privacy walls or fences on lakeshore lots is limited because the intent and standards of Orono's code is to preserve the view of the lake for all lakeshore property owners. D) The applicant has failed to demonstrate the need for screening from noise or lights and has only stated that the berms would provide privacy. 7. The Orono Council at their meeting of May 12, 1986 conceptually adopted the Planning Commission recommendation and in addition advised the applicant that 3 1/2 foot berms would be permitted along the street lot line (Area 3) finding such i-pr.ovement. compatible with the intent and purpose of the iicipal Zoning Code Chapter as set forth in Section 10.01.
