MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br /> Monday, June 16, 2003 <br /> 6:00 o'clock p.m. <br /> (#3 #03-2904 RICHARD S. BROWN, Continued) <br /> Hawn further suggested they consider removals including the gravel on the other side of the <br /> house, blacktop, and pavers. She believed there were many areas to make further reductions and <br /> encouraged Brown to work with the planning department to uncover them. <br /> Gaffron pointed out that, typically, the planning department would have worked with the <br /> applicant to determine the removals prior to this phase. <br /> Mabusth questioned whether the Commission would allow the encroachment into the <br /> unimproved right of way and wetland setback, and suggested the applicant work with staff to <br /> make things work. <br /> Rahn felt there were many areas for removals and expressed his desire to see the home get closer <br /> to what was approved originally. <br /> The Commission agreed that the wetland delineation would need to be performed in order to <br /> ensure the applicant meets the 26' setback; however, the Commission could accept the applicants <br /> not necessarily being 5' from the property line. <br /> Brown questioned if the walls were too high as noted on the inspection. <br /> Gaffron stated that the engineer would need to grant approval if the walls were to exceed 4' high. <br /> Brown stated that he now felt better about working with staff to determine the changes needed. <br /> Cooper reiterated his question as to why it took three years to recognize the various issues. <br /> Chair Smith stated that the construction itself exceeded three years and the City did not have the <br /> opportunity to catch the changes. <br /> Mabusth moved, Hawn seconded,to table Application #03-2904, Richard Brown, 1300 <br /> Shoreline Drive, for the purpose of hardcover removals adding that the Commission <br /> recommends wall height be subject to Engineer approval, and the retaining wall be moved <br /> out of the right-of-way and meet the wetland setback requirements.
