MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMIVIISSION <br /> Monday,September 18,2006 <br /> 6:00 o'clock p.m. <br /> (#06-3232 Michael and Mary Drazan, Continued) <br /> Rahn stated it is difficult to comment on an application when there have been changes made to a plan and <br /> the plan does not reflect those changes. <br /> Michael Drazan stated the original plan contained the retaining wall,which was not their intent,and that <br /> they submitted the revised plan to show the elimination of the retaining wall. <br /> Rahn noted the Planning Commission is also lacking the comments of the City Engineer. <br /> Kroeger inquired whether the retaining walls consist of the 13.9 percent hardcover in the 0-75 foot zone. <br /> Michael.Drazan indicated that consists of the deck and the retaining wall. <br /> Curtis noted a portion of the residence is also within the 0-75 foot zone. <br /> Jurgens inquired whether the lakeside deck would be removed. <br /> Michael.Drazan indicated the deck is embedded in the stairs and that they were not planning on removing <br /> the deck. <br /> Jurgens stated the rock walkway,the timber planters,and other nonessential hardcover should be <br /> removed. <br /> Mary Drazan stated they have not addressed the 0-75 foot setback zone at this time due to a couple of <br /> issues. Drazan noted they have lost approximately two feet of lakeshore and that they are planning to put <br /> better rip-rap in that area to prevent further erosion. Drazan stated they did not include that in their plans <br /> because they were not informed on the City's position regarding that aspect and that they would prefer to <br /> address that in the future. <br /> Bremer stated the Planning Commission likes to look at properties as a whole and that all nonessential <br /> hardcover within the 0-75 foot setback would be required to be removed. Bremer recommended the <br /> applicant look at the 0-75 foot setback zone to deternune what is essential hardcover. <br /> Michael Drazan stated the deck attaches to a retaining wall underneath and that the timbers have started to <br /> rot and need to be replaced. <br /> Rahn stated the City Engineer could deternune whether the retaining walls within the 0-75 foot zone are <br /> necessary for erosion control. <br /> Jurgens stated the 0-75 foot zone should be addressed at this time rather than at some point in the future. <br /> Curtis noted she did advise the applicants to wait on the work in the 0-75 foot setback and that it is the <br /> intent of the applicants to come back sometime in the spring with a proposal. <br /> PAGE 20 <br />
