MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING 0 HELD JULY 20, 1992 ZONING FILE #1753 - CONT. Arnold Carlson, 855 Forest Arms Lane, concurred that the former owner was responsible for those for dredging the channel and the pump house installation. He was unsure about the storage shed. Madge indicated the shed is not a permanent shed. Al Hibbs, applicant's contractor, indicated they were unaware of the additional side yard setback requirement with the enlarged pool area. He felt they could either shorten the pool or shift the pool to meet the requirements. Rowlette noted the landscape plan indicates the use of underliner around the trees to be replanted. She said that an approved underliner can only be used in the drainage swale area. Madge said he would agree to removal of the plastic within the 0- 75' zone. Mabusth advised that they are also asked to approve an average lakeshore setback variance for the fence around the pool. Rowlette commented on the new parking area within the 250 -500' zone. Peterson said he was concerned that additional hardcover on the property would only increase the drainage problem for Mr. Carlson. Cohen asked if Madge would be willing to remove the cement in the 250 -500' zone. Madge stated he may be willing to remove it but it would be quite costly. He felt this area d i d not affect the drainage in the area. He noted he will redirect drainage under the drive. Hibbs noted that the City asked for hardcover calculations for all zones "for the record only ". Jabbour said he never dreamt that each zone would be treated so independently. He noted the intent of the code is not to take care of drainage to prevent erosion, but to allow the water to naturally percolate prior to entering the Lake. Mabusth added that the property is at a total 25.3% hardcover within the 75 -500' setback area. Peterson asked when they can expect approval from the Watershed District. 40 10
