NIINUTTS OF THE <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMNIISSION MEETIlVG <br /> Monday,May 18,2015 <br /> 6:30 o'clock p.m. <br /> Dan Murphy,KuhI Design Builti,pointed out the location of the septic sites on the overhead. Murphy <br /> indicated the property ovvners are in the process right now to hook up to City sewer for environmental <br /> reasons and that they are just waiting to get an easernent frozn the next door neighbors to go across their <br /> property. The lina will need to go across three properties and the subject property owners will also need <br /> to lesve a hookup for the neighbor down the Iine. <br /> Thiesse asked if that would change the setback requirement. <br /> Curtis indicated the setback requirement would then bo 75 feot. The averags lakestiore setback <br /> requirement would still apply. <br /> Leskinen stated having City sewer would change the setback from an existing septic system and asked if <br /> that opens up additional locations for the pool since it wilt not need to be set b$ck from the septic system. <br /> Curtis stated it wauld and�at this property has ample space in which to Iocate a poot. <br /> Murphy stated as it relate,s to the pool,their goal is to minimize the visual impact of the p4o1 to the <br /> neighbors and from the 18ke. If it is located between this house and the neighbor's house to the left,the <br /> pool would be extremely visiblo from the(ake. Murphy statsd if that was�o case,they theor�ica�ty <br /> would be able to build a retaining wall by the pool. <br /> Murphy pointed out there is a tennis courk off in the distance. As it relates to the drainage,the area where <br /> they are proposing�e pool is very flat with prairie grass on both sides and is a very environmentally <br /> strong drainage system. If ti�e pool is located to the left of the house,the pool bacornes even more visible <br /> from the lake. Murphy indicated they have spoken to both neighbors about the pool and that the location <br /> they are suggesting is the preferred one since the pool would not be scen by either neighbor. In additio�n, <br /> the adjacent properry owners will not be adversely af�ected by the two additions. Murphy stated if they <br /> have to set the pool 100 fcet back,the neighbor will see it and that�ey would like to leave the open space <br /> laft open,which is another reason they are proposing to loca.te it where tfiey are. <br /> Chair Leskinen opened the public hearing at 6:47 p.m. <br /> Tlnere were no public comments regarding this applic,�tion. <br /> Chair Leskinen closed the public hea�ri�ag at 6:47 p.m. <br /> Leskinea stated she is less concerned about the pool th�an about adding hardcover in tho 0-75 foot zone, <br /> which the City atxempts to avoid whenever passible. Leskinen stated given the size of the lot, she daes <br /> not see justificatian for it and that she is not convinced there is not another location, <br /> Lemke stated&om a visibility standpoint, it makes sense to put it in khe location they are proposing but <br /> that there are other locations available. <br /> Thiesse stazed the pool is on a high point and that it would drain naturally with a lot of green space all <br /> around the area. Thiesse stxted the City does not usually allow pools or hardcover in the 75-foot setback <br /> which makes it an issue. <br /> Page 4 of 37 <br />
