6 MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br />HELD JANUARY 19, 1993 <br />ZONING FILE #1792 - CONT. <br />Mabusth questioned Gronberg as to his statements regarding the <br />control of the dam and how that relates to the tributary today and <br />impact on his property. <br />Don Gronberg stated the original creek was in the center of the <br />current creek, and the building envelope would be 75' from that <br />original creek bed, thus a variance would not be necessary. <br />Schroeder agreed there is significant hardship in that he has owned <br />the property since 1958, and the proposed residence will be setback <br />consistent with the neighbors. He added there is an artificiality <br />about the entire creek. <br />It was moved by Rowiette, seconded by Schroeder, to recommend <br />approval of Application #1792, Don Gronberg, 110 Leaf Street, for <br />a lot area variance and shoreland setback to construct a new <br />residence.
