MlNuTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING CO.MMISSION :MEETING HELD ON SEPTEi\1BER 18, 1995 (#15 -#2072 Graydon Newman, Jr. -Continued) Gaffi-on reported that the property is located on Bohn's Point and contains a house and carriage house. The application is for hardcover and lakeshore setback variances and land alteration permit in the 0-75' zone to allow reconfiguration oflakeshore access walkways and shoreline improvement to include sand fill and boulder wall improvements. The existing deck platform located at the shoreline was found to be encroaching into the neighboring property. The proposal is to remove the deck platform and construct a new 5' wide walkway laterally in the 75' zone leading to the dock, which will be moved over into the applicant's property. The application is also to support the existing stone wall with additional stone and add another course of rip rap with sand and plantings between the rip rap and wall. The Engineer suggested removal of hardcover pavers. The rip rap is located all along the property. The plan calls for the additional stone in a smaller area. The deck itself will not be replaced. Smith asked why a 5' instead of a 4' walkway to the dock. Gustafson said it was in order to use the existing heavy modular materials. Schroeder asked if 4' would work in this application and was told it would. Gustafson noted the rip rap alone is not enough to maintain the shoreline on a busy day on the lake. The stone pads keep the waves from eroding the area and undermining the rip rap. It was his opinion that only way to help would be to add another course of rip rap. Smith said the present configuration seems to be working for the maintaining of the property. .. Schroeder moved, Smith seconded, to approve Application #2072 with the walkway amended to a 4' width and to leave the patio blocks in place. There were no public comments. Vote: Ayes 5, Nays 1, Rowlette, who felt the concrete blocks should be removed.
