MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br /> Monday,November 15,2004 <br /> 6:00 o'clock p.m. <br /> (#04-3060 MICHAEL AND DONNA EBERTZ, CONTINUED) <br /> Rahn moved,Fritzler seconded,to recommend denial of Application#04-3069,Michael and Donna <br /> Ebertz, 1220 Tonkawa Road,and not allow the upper tier boulder walls,with the understanding <br /> that if the lower boulder walls are deemed necessary by the City Engineer,that they would be <br /> allowed, and if allowed,there would be an equivalent amount of hardcover removed in the 0-75' <br /> zone so there is no increase in hardcover in the 0-75' zone,and restoring the grade to a compliant <br /> state without any boulder walls. <br /> Winkey inquired whether the hardcover would exceed the 7.8 percent. <br /> Rahn stated there would be no new hardcover allowed. Rahn indicated if the top tier of wall is deemed <br /> necessary, then an equivalent amount of hardcover needs to be removed in the 0-75' zone. <br /> VOTE: Ayes 5,Nays 2,Leslie and Bremer Opposed. <br /> Leslie stated he is not sure whether there is enough hardcover that could be removed to offset the amount <br /> of hardcover that would be created by the walls. <br /> Bremer concurred with Leslie. <br /> 1. #04-3069 G&L LAND INVESTMENTS,LLC, 2665 MAPLERIDGE LANE,VARIANCE, <br /> 7:41 p.m.—8:05 p.m. <br /> Steve Longman and Tim Guilfoyle,Applicants, were present. <br /> Rahn noted the Planning Commission discussed this item earlier this evening,with the consensus of the <br /> Planning Commission being that they would like to see detailed elevations for the pool and the amount of <br /> fill that would be necessary to construct the pool. <br /> Steve Longman stated they are attempting to minimize the amount of steps from the house to the pool. <br /> Longman indicated they are envisioning the pool being approximately four feet above the walkout level, <br /> with the site not allowing the pool to be brought up to first floor elevation of the house. Longman <br /> indicated the existing deck and hot tub is approximately five to six feet below the main floor and they are <br /> trying to blend that concept in. Longman stated the drawing depicted is just an artist's rendition and does <br /> not contain a lot of detail. Longman stated worst case would be three to four feet of fill. <br /> Jurgens noted one plan depicts a 950' elevation for the pool deck. Jurgens indicated the drawing <br /> submitted by the applicants does not depict any steps. Jurgens noted the far corner of the pool closest to <br /> the lake shows a 940' elevation,which would have to be raised to 950' because the pool cannot be sloped. <br /> Jurgens indicated the City would like to avoid a case where excessive fill needs to be brought onto a site <br /> and that consideration also needs to be given for the neighbors' views. <br /> PAGE 16 <br />
