Section 10.02, Definition 69 defines Structure as "Anything, or part thereof, which <br /> is built, constructed or erected, an edifice or building of any kind, or any piece of <br /> work artificially built up or composed of parts joined together in some definite <br /> • manner, which requires a location on, below, or above the ground, land, or water, <br /> or attached to something having a location on the ground, land, or water." <br /> 6. The 1980 City of Orono Community Management Plan ("Comprehensive Plan") <br /> contains a number of general land use and environmental protection goals and <br /> policies with which the applicant's proposal must be consistent, including the <br /> following: <br /> A. Environmental Protection Plan, Urban Area Policy 2: <br /> "Retention of natural vegetation will limit the impact of urbanization as <br /> ` visible from the lake...Minunum green belts will be provided with <br /> prohibitions .against clearcutting or excessive thinning of vegetation. <br /> Natural vegetation will be preserved on slopes. Retaining walls will be <br /> discouraged except when absolutely necessary to prevent erosion, in which <br /> case they will be screened with natural vegetation." <br /> B. Environmental Protection Plan, General Policy 9: <br /> "Lake shorelines will be protected from alteration. Natural vegetation <br /> in shoreland areas will be preserved insofar as practical and reasonable in <br /> order to retard surface runoff and soil erosion, and to utilize excess <br /> nutrients. Clearcutting will be prohibited. In areas of soil or wave action, <br /> natural stone rip-rap shoreline protection will be encouraged." <br /> 7. The previous property owner's submittal included an engineers report stating the <br /> existing topography requires a retaining wall to avoid increased erosion of the <br /> hillside which would result in sediment entering the lake. The boulder retaining <br /> wall is necessary to avoid additional erosion concerns caused by a storm which <br />� damaged or destroyed a number of trees on the hillside, which trees had provided <br /> stabilization of the slope. <br /> � � Page 3 of 7 <br /> , <br />
