1VIINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br /> Monday,November 16,2009 <br /> 6:30 o'clock p.m. <br /> (#09-3435 LOREN AND STACEY SCHOENZEIT,4480 FOREST LAKE LANDING, CONT.) <br /> Larson stated one of his biggest concerns is the runoff from the road and that he would request the <br /> drainage be maintained both during construction and after. Larson requested some privacy planting be <br /> required between the applicant's property and his property. <br /> Schoenzeit indicated he is planning to put some screening in that area. <br /> Judy Larson, 1090 Wildhurst Trail, stated she would like to have 15-foot trees planted rather than smaller <br /> trees. Larson asked if the house would be located closer to the lake. <br /> Schoenzeit stated the proposed house is in the exact location as the existing structure. Schoenzeit <br /> illustrated the location of the proposed garage and house. <br /> Rahn asked if the house is compliant with the setbacks on that side. <br /> Schoenzeit noted they are approximately 80 feet back from that setback. <br /> Curtis indicated it is. Curtis noted the bump out is a fireplace,which is an allowed encroachment. <br /> Schoenzeit pointed out that there is also a six-foot privacy fence currently on the property. <br /> Jackson Line,4415,4440 and 4445 Forest Lake Landing, stated he is here on behalf of his parents. Line <br /> asked whether there is a formalized landscape plan that has been submitted and would be executed on this <br /> property. Line indicated they would like the curb appeal improved. <br /> Line stated his second question is who the contractor is and what his experience is. Line also asked what <br /> the timeline is for the start of consiruction and whether the property markings will be removed. Line <br /> indicated they are not in favor of having pod units in the front yard. Three cars have been parked in the <br /> front driveway of this property for the past few years and they are wondering if the plans will <br /> accommodate inside storage of these cars. Line also asked whether there are plans to enclose the garbage <br /> cans that are currently in the front driveway. <br /> Curtis stated the property owner will be required to sod the lot to prevent erosion and that the City does <br /> not require anything further than that. The name of the contractor is not germane to approval of the <br /> application and she is not sure whether the applicant has a contractor retained at this point. <br /> As far as removal of the property line markings, Curtis indicated she is unaware of whether there is a plan <br /> to remove those at the present time and that they were probably needed to assist with the survey. As it <br /> relates to storage of the personal property, she is unaware of what the applicant's plans are. During . <br /> consh-uction, a pod is allowed as long as there is an open building permit. The City does not have a <br /> requirement that all vehicles be parked inside a garage but there are requirements for current licensing and <br /> operability of vehicles and parking on improved surfaces. The City does not have a code that addresses <br /> inside storage of garbage cans on residential lots. <br /> Schoenzeit stated they are working with Bachman's and that they have provided some detail to the City as <br /> it relates to their landscaping plans. Schoenzeit indicated they are intending to landscape the property as <br /> part of this project. <br /> Page <br /> 14 <br />
