MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br /> Monday,August 15,2005 <br /> 6:00 o'clock p.m. <br /> (#05-3134 Richard and Patricia Crosby,Continued) <br /> Kempf indicated he is pleased with the amount of hardcover reductions being proposed. Kempt stated he <br /> did visit the site today and noticed that there are a number of landscaping areas on the lakeside that <br /> include plastic and timbers. Kempf stated a substantial amount of hardcover could be removed on the <br /> lakeside of the home as well,noting that the timbers are nearing the end of their life anyway. <br /> Crosby indicated he would like to address the landscaping areas next year rather than have too many <br /> projects started at one time. <br /> Kempf stated he would like to insure that those areas are addressed this year and requested that removal <br /> of those areas be a condition of approval. <br /> Fritzler stated he is in agreement with Kempf's comments. <br /> Crosby pointed out the garage addition would be going over existing hardcover. <br /> Rahn noted the 0-75' zone has a zero percent hardcover limit. <br /> Crosby stated from an ecological standpoint the timbers probably stop phosphate and other debris from <br /> running into the lake. Crosby indicated he is willing to remove the timbers if the Planning Commission <br /> so desires. Crosby stated he takes steps to clean up this area every week to help protect the lake. <br /> Leslie commented the applicant has made good progress on his application and that he is in agreement <br /> with removing the hardcover in the 0-75' zone. <br /> Jurgens inquired whether a time limit could be set for the removal in the 0-75' zone. <br /> Kempf stated they are not raised beds and that the hardcover in the 0-75' zone could be easily removed as <br /> part of the process of removing the other hardcover. <br /> Kempf moved,Bremer seconded,to recommend approval of Application#05-3134,Dave Park of <br /> Durabilt on behalf of Richard and Patricia Crosby,2705 Walters Port Lane,granting of a <br /> hardcover variance in the 75-250' zone of 45.9 percent,with the stipulation that the 142 square feet <br /> of timbers in the 0-75' zone be removed.
