MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br /> Monday,November 15,2004 <br /> 6:00 o'clock p.m. <br /> (#04-3069 G& L LAND INVESTMENTS, CONTINUED) <br /> Leslie inquired whether that would impact construction of the new residence. <br /> Longman stated since the pool is somewhat part of the design of the house,backfilling the foundation <br /> may be tricky given the average lakeshore setback. <br /> Guilfoyle inquired whether there are any criteria that they can be given. <br /> Jurgens stated the main concern he has is in regard to the amount of fill that may be required and that the <br /> slope is the deciding factor. Jurgens noted any fill in excess of 500 cubic yards would require a <br /> conditional use permit. <br /> Rahn inquired whether the fill has to be brought to the site. <br /> Gaffron stated in this case the fill could be used from the excavation of the house and that no extra fill <br /> may be necessary. <br /> Rahn suggested approving it subject to the grading and drainage plan being approved by the City <br /> Engineer and Staff. <br /> Gaffron stated a conditional use permit would be required for over 500 cubic yards of earth movement. <br /> Gaffron indicated in general for a house of this size a couple feet of fill against the pool would be normal. <br /> Gaffron stated the definition includes what is normal excavation,with 500 cubic yards being considered <br /> normal, and that if the fill being utilized is determined not to be out of the ordinary, Staff would not <br /> require a conditional use permit. <br /> Jurgens noted the building permit does allow backfilling and can be approved by the building inspector. <br /> Jurgens stated he is more concerned if a large amount of fill would need to be brought onto the site. <br /> Bremer stated she would be fine with a stipulation of 945' or lower elevation for the pool subject to the <br /> grading plan being approved by the City Engineer. <br /> Rahn inquired whether the grade would be sloped away and whether the slope would be less than 3 to 1. <br /> Longman indicated that is their intention. <br /> Bremer moved,Rahn seconded,to recommend approval of Application#04-3069, G& L Land <br /> Investments,LLC,2665 Mapleridge Lane,granting of an average lakeshore setback variance to <br /> permit the pool subject to the pool deck not exceeding a 945' elevation, and further subject to City <br /> Engineer and Staff's recommendations relating to grading and filling,with the understanding a <br /> conditional use permit may be necessary if extra fill is brought in.
