• - MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br /> Monday,June 20,2005 <br /> • 6:00 o'clock p.m. <br /> (#05-3100 Larry and Sheryl Palm, Continued) <br /> Gundlach stated she does not have that overhead available tonight; however, she does have a paper copy <br /> of the plan. Gundlach stated this revised plan is found as the last page of the report. Gundlach stated it <br /> would be plan number four. <br /> Rahn stated it is the understanding of the Planning Commission that the wall would not run the length of <br /> the property and would taper off towards the Erickson property. Rahn indicated a plan depicting a <br /> tapered wall would need to be reviewed by the city engineer. <br /> Palm stated it is his intention the wall would be tapered approximately three feet. <br /> Rahn noted the city engineer and neighbor are in agreement with the tapering of the wall and that he is <br /> unsure why the miscommunication occurred. <br /> Leslie pointed out the issue of the rain garden still remains. <br /> Palm stated he is not in favor of the rain garden due to the potential for mosquitoes. Palm indicated they <br /> currently have approximately 60 feet to handle the runoff. Palm stated the pond would need to be located <br /> in the easement area and that there will be an issue with the pond washing out. Palm stated he has not <br /> seen any calculations for the pond from the city engineer demonstrating the pond would be manageable. <br /> Jurgens inquired whether the applicant has any stormwater calculations of his own. Jurgens stated in his <br /> view the applicant should provide the calculations showing that the pond is not necessary. <br /> Palm stated he would also like to see calculations from the city engineer. <br /> Gundlach stated the issue is the amount of water that will be diverted from the swales and that there is a <br /> concern with the amount of water converging into one spot and the potential for creating a gully in that <br /> area. Gundlach indicated the pond is an attempt to stop erosion into the lake. <br /> Palm stated they currently do not have a pond and that they have sufficient green area to handle the <br /> runoff. Palm indicated at the present time there is no erosion into the lake. <br /> Jurgens noted the proposed house and garage are going to be substantially bigger than what currently <br /> exists and that the amount of runoff needs to be addressed in some fashion. <br /> Rahn stated the applicant and city engineer have to get on the same page as far as the drainage and <br /> grading. Rahn stated he is fine with the wall tapering towards the neighbor's property but that the <br /> Planning Commission needs a plan that has been approved by the city engineer that demonstrates how the <br /> runoff will be handled on this property. Rahn indicated he expects a plan depicting a wall tapering <br /> towards the property line to be submitted for review and approval by the city engineer. Rahn inquired <br /> whether this application should be moved forward before the Council without an approved plan. <br /> PAGE 10 <br />
