MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION <br />Monday, July 17, 2006 <br />6:00 o'clock p.m. <br />2. #06-3184 PAUL THOMAS HOMES ON BEHALF OF MAUREEN A. BRECKMAN, 2695 <br />CASCO POINT ROAD, 6:21 P.M. -6:27 P.M. <br />Paul Vogstrom, Paul Thomas Homes, was present. <br />Curtis stated this application was tabled at the May and June meetings in order for the applicant to work <br />with staff to achieve an appropriate stom1 water management and grading plan. The City Engineer's <br />comments are attached as Exhibit B, which reflects that the majority of the issues raised by the City <br />Engineer have been adequately addressed by the applicant. <br />Pla1ming Staff recommends approval of the lot width and lot area variances and some level of hardcover <br />variance within the 75-250 foot zone as the Planning Commission determines appropriate. The finishing <br />"touch ups" to the grading plan requested in the City Engineer's memo can be revised and approved prior <br />to placement on the Council agenda. <br />Vogstrom stated he has received the City Engineer's memo and the remaining items have been addressed. <br />Bremer opened the public hearing at 6:21 p.m. <br />A. Lawrence Kane, 2697 Casco Point Road, stated he is interested in the drainage ·system that is involved <br />in the project since the water drains to the south towards his property. Kane indicated he has been told <br />that the runoff is supposedly going to be taken care of with a swale. <br />Curtis stated the swale was revised to alleviate the problems that the City Engineer had noted in his <br />comments and that the water would drain to the catch basin. In addition, some selective minimal grading <br />would be done to direct some water toward the lake per discussion with the City Engineer. <br />Jurgens inquired whether the grade would remain the same following the work and whether a bem1 would <br />be constructed. <br />Vogstrom stated it is basically 941 feet at the property line and that they would go up to 942 feet at the <br />house, with a slight dip in between. <br />Bremer noted the City Engineer has reviewed the plans and feels that the drainage is appropriate for this <br />site. <br />Bremer closed the public hearing at 6:24 p.m. <br />Kroeger inquired whether the hardcover has been reduced. <br />Vogstrom stated the hardcover was reduced previously and reviewed at the last meeting. The application <br />was tabled to allow the City Engineer time to review the plans. <br />Bremer inquired whether the hardcover being approved tonight would be 30.6 percent. <br />PAGE4
