ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION <br /> Monday,May 15,2000 <br /> • <br /> (#2584 Andrew Rascher, Continued) <br /> lake. <br /> Smith commented the Planning Commission must look at what it will take to maintain what is <br /> existing and how to provide safe access down to the lake with a minimal amount of construction. <br /> Smith stated it is the policy of the City to stay away from a lot of terraced walls and to leave the <br /> area as natural as possible. <br /> Lindquist stated he is not capable of determining whether what currently exists is right or whether <br /> the retaining walls should be replaced. Lindquist stated he does have a problem with retaining <br /> walls being located in the 0-75 foot setback as a general rule, and suggested the Applicants speak <br /> with the City Engineer to see if something can be worked out which will be acceptable to all <br /> parties. Lindquist stated he would be hard pressed to go against the recommendations of the City <br /> Engineer. <br /> Lindquist suggested the matter be tabled to allow the Applicants time to discuss this matter <br /> further with the City Engineer. <br /> Smith commented that the engineering issues should perhaps be explored further, and agreed that <br /> the Applicants should perhaps speak with the City Engineer to discuss his recommendations. <br /> Weinberger stated the City Engineer will speak with the Applicant if so desired. Weinberger <br /> suggested the Applicants contact Wendy to arrange a meeting with the City Engineer. <br /> • Mrs. Rascher inquired what would happen if the application is tabled. <br /> Smith stated the Applicants would probably reappear before the Planning Commission at their <br /> June meeting if they are able to resolve the issues. Smith stated the Applicants could request <br /> additional time if so needed by submitting a letter asking for an extension of the time limit. <br /> Bottenberg indicated the 60 day time limit expires on June 19th, which is the date of the next <br /> Planning Commission meeting. <br /> Mrs. Rascher requested the application be tabled at this time. <br /> There were no public comments regarding this application. <br /> Smith moved, Lindquist seconded, to table Application#2584,Andrew and Tracy <br /> Rascher,4705 North Shore Drive, to allow the Applicant time to submit revised plans. <br /> VOTE: Ayes 5, Nays 0. <br /> PLANNING COMMISSION COMMENTS <br /> (#11) REPORT OF PLANNING COMMISSION REPRESENTATIVES ATTENDING COUNCIL <br /> MEETINGS APRIL 24, 2000 AND MAY 8, 2000 <br /> Nygard indicated he was unable to attend the April 24, 2000 City Council meeting. <br /> • Smith commented she is not aware of who attended the May 8th meeting. <br /> Page 20 <br />
