The Jundt's have done a rema.rkable <br /> job of historic preservation. A part of this preseiv�tion consists of an old 2 foot wide <br /> stairway goiiig down to a ptunp house on the other end of their property. In the middle of <br /> tlieir property there are a few stone t�eads allowuig access along there center shoreluie <br /> and down by their south property luie tliere exists the stairway we want to rebuild which <br /> is tl�eir inain.stair to tlieir dock. On a property tliis large it would be iinpractical to think <br /> that you could get by with one stair to the l�ke. <br /> Subject: Reinove old wood stau system to the dock originally perinitted by vari�nce <br /> action approxunately 13 years ago. Reinove wood lauding going to inigation control <br /> shed. Origiiial variance allowed i'or 131.5 sq ft stairs and laiidings and 114 sq ft of deck to <br /> cont�ol box.New stairs without deck are 167 sq ft plus 12 sq ft of control box resulting iii <br /> a total of 179 sq ft a reduction of 66 square feet of Ilardcover. Replace old stair system <br /> with 4' wide Clulton in groimd treads and land'uigs curving the treads so that they <br /> become ludden as we are going to plant an Alpine Ciurant hedgerow and Lily`s (see <br /> fiihue photo attached). Tlie photo also shows the planting of Arborvitae, Techne,hiding <br /> the irrigatiou control box and dock storage area. Further creating a grass lawn path witli <br /> Juiuper bufFer�rea at shoreline for water runoff. The patli will allow better wheelchair <br /> access to the dock reducing the total wheel chair tread usage to two treads. At present <br /> tliey have two inakesluft wood ramps that are laid on the staus and look pretry daiigerous. <br /> Tlie path will requue adjusting approxunately 40 cubic yards of soil and new sod. <br /> Because a previous variance was given for the wood stau system. A new variance would <br /> not liave been necessary if we would have built the new stair system in exactly the saine <br /> locatioii as tlie original stairs going straight up the hill. However, a great effort is beuig <br /> inade to hide the new stair systeni and cleaii up the ugly look that is there now. The City <br /> of Orono desires that stair systems tuni and be hidden with vegetation, so I always do that <br /> when I desigu a new system for someone in Orono. I had no idea that an old variance <br /> existed on the old stair aud obviously iiiy new design seives both Oroiio's desues and <br /> Jundt's iiiuch Uetter, so now I ain stuck going to meetings. <br /> /'<--�,:.� <br /> �" (� t, ..l;�`i<;*. ��L.� <br /> . ���']�3e�r,^!
