MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br /> Monday,November 15,2004 <br /> 6:00 o'clock p.m. <br /> (#04-3067 LECY CONSTRUCTION,CONTINUED) <br /> Jurgens inquired about the retaining walls near the bluff. <br /> Gundlach stated those areas were approved in 1999. Gundlach indicated it is possible that another timber <br /> has been added on top. <br /> Walsh stated he did place two timbers in that area on top of the other ones because the ones that were <br /> there were deteriorating. <br /> Gaffron inquired how far out the wing wall next to the house goes out in terms of the lot line and whether <br /> the applicant can go around the wall without going on the neighbor's property. <br /> Walsh stated there was a wall there previously and can be accessed by a mower. <br /> Jurgens inquired whether someone on Staff could determine when the cutting occurred on the bluff <br /> Gaffron stated they are not able to do that. <br /> Walsh stated he cleaned out the old Christmas trees and garbage in that area. Walsh stated they might <br /> have cut down some little trees for the rip-rap and that he did trim some of the smaller trees with a small <br /> hand-held saw. <br /> Gaffron stated the majority of the stuff that was cut that he observed was less than four inches. Gaffron <br /> stated his concern is that if the canopy is removed,the rain would hit the slope harder and erosion can <br /> occur. <br /> Walsh indicated he has delayed restoring the bluff until his plans are developed regarding the stairs. <br /> Jurgens stated the bluff does need to be restored. <br /> Gundlach indicated Staff is recommending the bluff restoration plan be submitted prior to a final <br /> inspection with possible implementation of the plan by the end of the summer. <br /> Jurgens stated he would like to have the plan approved prior to the final inspection,with a deadline being <br /> established for the work to be accomplished. Jurgens suggested the applicant consider incorporating the <br /> work on the stairs at the time of the restoration. Jurgens pointed out the applicant would have a limited <br /> period of time in which to comply with the restoration. <br /> Winkey inquired if concessions are given for the area for the snow storage,whether that would be the <br /> same as what was approved in 1999. Winkey stated in his view only the part that was approved back in <br /> 1999 should be allowed to remain. <br /> PAGE 32 <br />
