MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br />- Monday,August 16,2010 <br /> 6:30 o'clock p.m. <br /> Curtis stated the Planning Commission has the option of imposing setback requirements. Currently there <br /> is a 50-foot setback for structures associated with a church or a place of worship. The City also does have <br /> setbacks for walls depending on their height. <br /> Schoenzeit commented in his view the outdoor columbaria should meet a setback. , <br /> Curtis pointed out there will also be some activity around the columbaria. <br /> Schoenzeit stated he would recommend a setback for the outdoor columbaria. <br /> Leskinen asked whether the setback would be in addition to the 50-foot setback. <br /> Schwingler stated it should meet the 50-foot setback. <br /> Schoenzeit pointed out there cunently are no setbacks for landscaping. <br /> Curtis stated the 50-foot setback is a structural setback for the building. <br /> Turner noted the columbaria can take different forms, such as a wall or a structure that is four to nine feet <br /> tall. The one being proposed by Good Shepherd is basically a patio. A patio would need to be located <br /> three feet off the property line. <br /> Schoenzeit stated as it relates to the outdoor columbaria,there should be a certain required setback that is <br /> in excess of standard landscaping requirements or patios. <br /> Schwingler commented buffering or screening would also be appropriate. <br /> Turner stated to a certain extent it may depend on what is adjoining the property. <br /> Curtis noted this is being proposed as a conditional use permit process and at the time of each individual <br /> request,the City would be able to impose certain requirements specific to that particular application. <br /> Feuss commented that is a reasonable approach to take with this since each application would have a <br /> different set of circumstances. <br /> Curtis stated if the Planning Commission has certain conditions that they would like to see apply to all <br /> columbaria,they should include that in the motion. <br /> Curtis asked what the setback is from the property line to the circle being proposed by Good Shepherd. <br /> � <br /> Owen stated theirs is located five to ten feet from the property line but they are adjoining a city park. <br /> Kang stated the setback question is a good point and asked whether the Planning commission would like <br /> to leave it flexible so it can be addressed at the time of the CUP or whether they should set a specific <br /> setback requirement for all applications. <br /> Feuss commented she feels it should be addressed at the time the conditional use permit is applied for. <br /> Page 6 <br />
