MINLTTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br /> Monday, March 21,2016 <br /> 6:30 dclock p.m. <br /> more than two feet in height except the land above it has eroded away and is actually covering a lot of the <br /> wall. Buri�s indicated the wall goes halfway between the neighbor's property and the boathouse. <br /> Burns stated the boathouse and the ground on both sides are at the same height and go down to the same <br /> place. Burns indicated the boathouse was holding up a lot of the hill. Burns stated he rented the property <br /> out and had to deal with the safety issue of the boathouse, which has now been completed. Burns stated <br /> in order to stop the erosion of the shareline, it requires some walls. Burns indicated he would rather not <br /> rebuild the walls but from a safety and an erosion point of view, there needs to be more support on the <br /> slope. <br /> Leskinen asked if he is suggesting that more than just the in-kind wall be built. <br /> Burns stated he would suggest that it needs more than just the in-kind wall and that the wall should be <br /> continued to keep that side of the hill stable. <br /> Leskinen asked what he means by continue the wall. <br /> Burns pointed out the current location of the wall. Burns noted one part of the slope is starting to erode <br /> away and that his neighbor has asked him to remove the portion that goes into his property and instead <br /> have the wall continue all the way to the boathouse. Burns stated the wall is 24 feet away from the <br /> boatl�ouse and that he is just trying to clean up the shoreline. <br /> Olson asked what materials they will be using for the retaining walls. <br /> Burns indicated it will be rocks. <br /> Olson asked if there will be rocks on the north side as well going across. <br /> Burns stated there will be and that it will match the riprap on the shoreline. <br /> Olson asked if there will be vegetation on top of the rocks on the north side as well. <br /> Burns stated he could do that if it is too visible and that he does not really want to see the rocks. Burns <br /> indicated there are a lot of weeds in that area that will need to be cleaned up. <br /> Lemke asked what that dot is on the right side. <br /> Burns indicated there is a tree on tl7e property line and then another tree up above. <br /> Lemke stated he is trying to determine the location of the oak tree. <br /> Burns stated that dot is probably i7ot the most accurately placed and that there is also an elm tree <br /> approximately two feet from the neighbor's house. Burns stated there is also a �nanhole cover in that <br /> area. <br /> Lemke commented he would have liked to see some elevation drawings for that flat area. <br /> Gustafson indicated they did submit that. <br /> Page 8 of 21 <br />
