Candace Rowlette, Ed Cohen and Sara <br />Moos were absent. The following represented the City Staff: <br />Building and Zoning Administrator Jeanne Mabusth, Assistant <br />Planning and Zoning Administrator Michael Gaffron and City Recorder <br />Teri Naab. Edward Callahan was present to represent the City <br />Council. Chair Kelley called the meeting to order at 7:00 p.m. <br />( #1) AMENDMENT OF SHORELAND REGULATIONS - <br />PUBLIC HEARING 8:00 - 8:06 P.M. <br />The Affidavit of Publication and Certificate of Mailing was noted. <br />Chair Kelley noted all the work done by the Lake Use Committee in <br />drafting the proposed ordinance. He felt the Commission did not <br />need to review each item, as that was what the Committee was set <br />up for. He announced the City's intent was to pass the ordinance, <br />then send it on to the DNR for review and also send it to other <br />surrounding cities to let them know what Orono's positions are on <br />the proposed DNR's regulations. He noted that some areas are more <br />restrictive than the DNR's regulations, and in some areas the DNR <br />has been more restrictive than what Orono currently has in force. <br />Bellows asked what will happen to previously approved subdivided <br />properties that will no longer meet buildable standards. <br />Gaffron noted the proposed ordinance will treat a vacant lot <br />created under previously existing ordinances which does not meet <br />current standards, as non - conforming. He stated that lots such as <br />this will need a variance to build upon. <br />Mabusth directed them to review the sewage treatment setback, and <br />noted that has not changed, which means septic testing for <br />previously subdivided lots will not have changed. <br />Bellows asked what happens to lot area calculations. <br />Gaffron noted they did not change calculations for dry buildable <br />land. He indicated that slopes on a property could be problematic <br />to sept i c systems, but the C i ty does not fee I comfortab I e i n say i ng <br />all areas of land with slope of 18% or greater are not buildable. <br />Bellows asked if this would force them to change the definition of <br />dry buildable. <br />1 <br />
