• - 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 /> Bremer stated she is in agreement with moving this application before the Council provided that a plan <br /> approved by the city engineer is submitted prior to the council meeting. Bremer stated it appears that the <br /> remaining issue is the rain garden and that the applicant needs to discuss the necessity for a pond with the <br /> city engineer. <br /> Jurgens noted the retaining wall system approaches 14 feet in height on the lakeside of the home and that <br /> this will have a visual impact on the lake and could have significant impacts on the property to the east in <br /> the event the wall fails. Jurgens noted the city engineer states the wall height could be minimized if the <br /> house footprint is moved northwesterly towards the road 10 to 15 feet. Jurgens inquired whether that was <br /> done. <br /> Palm indicated it was not. <br /> Gundlach stated that comment was based on an old grading plan. Gundlach noted the meeting with the <br /> city building inspector and city engineer occurred after that. <br /> Rahn inquired whether the pilings would be just above grade. <br /> Palm indicated they would be. <br /> Jurgens inquired whether the materials to be used for the wall should be discussed. <br /> Rahn indicated he would prefer the City Council address that issue. Rahn inquired what the height of the <br /> tallest tier is. <br /> Palm stated it is approximately eight feet. <br /> Rahn inquired whether it would be appropriate to place a limitation on the height of the wall. <br /> Gaffron suggested the wall be adequately screened. <br /> Palm noted he would need to place a fence on top of the retaining wall for safety reasons. <br /> Bremer moved,Rahn seconded,to recommend approval of Application#05-3100,Larry and Sheryl <br /> Palm, 1146 Wildhurst Trail,granting variances to lot area and lot width and a conditional use <br /> permit to allow retaining walls and grading within five feet of a lot line,with the understanding that <br /> the wall plan will be revised to depict that the tail end of the wall ends up on the adjacent property <br /> no more than three feet and that adequate screening of the wall from the lake is provided, and <br /> subject to a signed agreement with the adjoining property owner being submitted concerning the <br /> retaining wall; and further subject to the City Engineer viewing and approving the grading and <br /> drainage plans to determine whether a rain garden or other type of landscaping is required. <br /> VOTE: Ayes 6,Nays 0. <br /> PAGE 11 <br />
