MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br /> Monday,October 19, 2015 <br /> 6:30 o'clock p.m. <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 /> Acting Chair Landgraver opened the public hearing at 8:49 p.m. <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 /> 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 /> 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 /> Reed Mandel stated as a result of the work, flooding occurred on his parents' property and for the entire <br /> summer the yard was flooded. Mandel stated all the dirt from the hill and debris ran into his parents' <br /> front yard and caused the driveway to always be muddy. <br /> Joey Mandel stated the neighbor also built a very large white fence all the way down the property line but <br /> did not follow regulations. The mud and debris could still go under the fence. The neighbor's latest <br /> effort has been to install a living wall all the way down the property line. The trees are 16 or 18 feet tall <br /> and are evergreen. Mandel stated the trees were just planted a couple of months ago and also affects <br /> another property a lot and a half back from the lake. That property owner cannot see the water anymore <br /> as a result of the living wall. <br /> Page 31 of 44 <br />
