MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br /> Monday,October 18,2004 <br /> 6:00 o'clock p.m. <br /> (#04-3042 Pillar Homes,Continued) <br /> installation of the drain tile, along with the other additional information that has been provided, <br /> appears to be an acceptable solution to the drainage for this property. <br /> Tupper stated the position of the pool and the pool deck is not any different today than what is <br /> depicted on the survey. <br /> Jurgens inquired why 938' is shown around the front of the pool and now it is 942 and a 943',which is <br /> four or five higher than what was shown on the original plan. Jurgens stated there is a substantial hill <br /> in that area and it appears the pool is higher. <br /> Tupper stated Exhibit C does not contain any elevations for the pool or the pool deck,but that it is <br /> clear the pool could not be constructed without some type of a retaining wall around it because of the <br /> contours of the surrounding ground. <br /> Jurgens noted a retaining wall was not constructed and instead dirt was hauled in on three sides. <br /> Jurgens stated the basement is higher by seven-tenths,with the house as constructed being one foot <br /> higher than it should be,with considerably more fill in the front. Jurgens stated there also is a swale <br /> that appears to have been constructed across someone else's property, which also was not proposed <br /> originally. Jurgens inquired what the hardcover was at the time this application was approved. <br /> Gundlach indicated they did not exceed the maximum allowed for hardcover. <br /> Tupper stated according to his calculations the hardcover was at 24.86 percent. <br /> Jurgens stated in his opinion it appears this lot is over the hardcover limit. Jurgens requested the <br /> hardcover be verified as well as the building height. <br /> Shermack stated the height of the roof did not increase. <br /> Tupper stated the hardcover that is on record is exactly what has been built within the 75-250' zone. <br /> Gundlach noted in the 250-500' zone they are at 14.5 percent. <br /> Jurgens noted a letter has been submitted regarding the swale,which needs to be addressed. <br /> Shermack indicated he would be willing to resolve that with the City Engineer and requested that it be <br /> documented that the end grade of the swale was pre-existing grade. Shermack indicated the water <br /> automatically went that direction prior to construction. <br /> Jurgens inquired what should be done with the excess fill. <br /> PAGE 12 <br />
