MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br /> • Monday,July 18,2005 <br /> 6:00 o'clock p.m. <br /> (#05-3132 Peter Eskuche,Continued) <br /> Gundlach stated a computer-generated image of the fill has been submitted by the applicant and <br /> distributed to the Planning Commission. Gundlach noted the grading and drainage plan has been revised <br /> from the plan before the Planning Commission tonight and addresses some of the recommendations of the <br /> City Engineer. <br /> Gundlach noted a letter from the property owner at 2565 North Shore Drive was received after the report <br /> was prepared. <br /> Jones stated the former house was located closer to the lake than what is being proposed for the footprint <br /> and that they are attempting to meet as many of the building code requirements as possible. Jones <br /> indicated placement of the dirt in front of the house eliminates the need to access the residence via a <br /> number of stairs and allows for easier access by people confined to wheelchairs. Jones stated the amount <br /> of dirt in that area would not affect the neighbors' drainage. Jones noted the neighbors are in agreement <br /> with the project. <br /> Rahn opened the public hearing. <br /> Jeff Martineau, 2565 North Shore Drive, indicated he has seen the plans and he is not opposed to the <br /> project. Martineau indicated he also is not opposed to the fill being placed on the property line. <br /> There were no additional public comments regarding this application. <br /> Rahn stated he does not have any issues with the fill as long as the City Engineer approves it. Rahn <br /> inquired who determined the amount of fill. <br /> Eskuche stated that number comes directly from the city engineer. <br /> Gundlach stated the applicant's surveyor came up with the 900 cubic yard number. Gundlach stated she <br /> has reviewed the property and believes the number is fairly accurate. <br /> Bremer inquired whether the deck is located 30 feet from the property line. <br /> Eskuche stated the deck does not encroach. <br /> Jurgens inquired about the elevation of the garage and whether that could be lowered to reduce the <br /> amount of fill required. Jurgens stated the access door could be eliminated, which would allow the garage <br /> to be lowered. <br /> Eskuche stated they would like to retain that access to the garage. Eskuche pointed there are two lines <br /> missing on the survey. <br /> Jones stated they are not seeking a variance to the side yard setback. <br /> PAGE 26 <br />
