NIINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br /> Monday,Apri116,2012 <br /> 6:30 o'clock p.m. <br /> Landgraver stated there have been some good faith efforts by the contractor to design something that <br /> would fit on the lot and that the comments from the neighbors are positive about adding additional <br /> hardcover to the driveway. The Planning Commission would have to defer erosion control. <br /> Schoenzeit stated that erosion control would need to comply with any recommendations of the City <br /> Engineer. <br /> Thiesse asked if this site is more unique than most and would require more attention to erosion control. <br /> Gaffron stated the slope is quite steep and has potential drainage issues that need to be addressed and built <br /> into the design. <br /> Schoenzeit stated a strong preliminary recommendation would be that the erosion would need to be <br /> addressed prior to this application going to the City Council so the applicant is well aware of what needs <br /> to be done prior to purchase. <br /> Levang noted the permitting from the MCWD has also not been obtained at this point. <br /> Gaffron indicated that normally is not done until a building permit application is submitted. <br /> Thiesse noted that on-street parking is also not allowed during construction. <br /> Leskinen asked if the application should be tabled pending submittal of a landscape and erosion plan or <br /> whether that information can be submitted prior to the application going before the City Council. <br /> Schoenzeit stated in his view the Planning Commission does not need to review that information but that <br /> the applicant will need to make a good faith effort to design those plans,and until that submittal occurs, <br /> the application should not go forward to the City Council. Schoenzeit stated those plans should also be <br /> reviewed by the City Engineer before the application goes to the City Council. <br /> Leskinen asked if there are any concerns with the size of the proposed house. <br /> Levang indicated she has concerns with the size. <br /> Leskinen commented in her view it is too much home for this lot. <br /> Levang stated she also has concerns with the erosion and how stable the slope will be following <br /> construction. Levang stated she would like cleanup of the lakeshore to be more specific and exactly what <br /> Staff would like to see occur in that area. <br /> Gaffron stated this is the type of site where the area would be regarded and then resodded. In some cases <br /> that happens a year or two after the construction of the home,but on this site it should be done prior to the <br /> project being completed. There are a variety of things that a future owner will need to do and those <br /> should probably be addressed now. <br /> Schoenzeit commented submittal of a lakeside improvement plan can be made a condition of the <br /> approval. Schoenzeit asked what size house the Planning Commission is looking at. <br /> Page <br /> 19 <br />
