MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br />Monday, October 19, 2015 <br />6:30 o’clock p.m. <br />_____________________________________________________________________________________ <br /> <br />Page 5 of 17 <br /> <br /> <br />Schoenzeit noted one component in order to be considered a nuisance is it has to be a certain foot candle <br />across the property line. Schoenzeit asked whether all lights have to be shielded in the lake yard. <br /> <br />Barnhart stated the lighting would be determined at the property line. As it relates to the shielding, that <br />would be part of the new lighting standards but is not necessarily deemed a nuisance. <br /> <br />Schoenzeit asked if the old lights would be grandfathered. <br /> <br />Barnhart stated they would be. Barnhart noted there are quite a few dock structures and lake <br />improvements that have lighting and that it will take years before there is a noticeable difference, which is <br />the reason why Staff went with the nuisance component. Barnhart stated the property owner would be <br />allowed to replace the bulb if it is part of the lighting fixture and would be considered normal <br />maintenance. Barnhart stated shielding would only be required in the lake yard and foot candles would be <br />measured anywhere on the property. <br /> <br />Acting Chair Landgraver opened the public hearing at 8:49 p.m. <br /> <br />Joey Mandel stated he is here tonight representing his parents who live at 3155 North Shore Drive. <br />Mandel displayed a picture of the lot adjacent to his parents’ home. Mandel stated the lot was <br />unmaintained for six years and was a nuisance. The property to the left is his parents’ property. Both <br />properties are located on Crystal Bay. <br /> <br />Reed Mandel stated the property owner was hauling in a bunch of fill a little bit at a time, which meant <br />that every two weeks there were heavy construction vehicles and noise. <br /> <br />Joey Mandel stated the construction vehicles left a lot of dust, noise, and rodents. This situation <br />eventually led his parents to calling into the City and filing a complaint against the property and how it <br />has been maintained. <br />
