MINUTES OF TI� <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br /> ' Monday,May 21,2012 <br /> 6:30 o'clock p.m. <br /> Gaffron noted the revised grading plan makes only minor changes to the proposed fill elevations around <br /> the house. <br /> Staff recommends the following: <br /> 1. Approval of the lot area and width variances. <br /> 2. Approval of 0-75 and 75-250 foot hardcover variances at a level that the Planning Commission <br /> finds acceptable. If reductions from the current proposed levels are recommended,then a revised <br /> site plan and house plan should be requested. The mitigation measures proposed for the <br /> excessive hardcover would appear to address this issue adequately. <br /> 3. Approval of the requested side setback variances, subject implementation of a final grading and <br /> drainage plan acceptable to the City Engineer and subject to no encroachments of the east side 10 <br /> feet drainage and utility easement by overhangs, cantilevers, or other structure. <br /> 4 Approval of lake setback and street setback variances as proposed,subject to any revisions <br /> needed if Planning Commission concludes hardcover must be reduced. <br /> 5. Approval of the average lakeshore setback variance as proposed. <br /> 6. Approval of a variance to allow structure within the defined bluff impact zone subject to <br /> implementation of final grading and drainage plans for the site. Any retaining walls four feet in <br /> height or greater will require submittal of plans designed by a structural engineer. <br /> 7. Approval of a CUP and variance for grading/excavation/fill within the 0-75 foot zone, subject to a <br /> final grading and d drainage plan that addresses any City engineer concerns regarding slope <br /> stability; subject to adherence to the City's erosion control regulations as well as the permitting <br /> requirements of the MCWD. Timely re-vegetation and stabilization will be a requirement of the <br /> permitting process. <br /> 8. If the variances are recommended for approval,the applicant shall provide for city council <br /> approval a proposed tree replacement plan at a two for one mitigation level for the two oaks being <br /> lost,and shall take all necessary measures to ensure the survivability of all other mature trees <br /> within the 0-75 foot protected area. <br /> 9. The applicant is advised of street parking limitations during the construction process. <br /> 10. Approval is subject to all recommendations of the City Consulting Engineer in his letter dated <br /> May 17,2012. <br /> Gaffron requested the Planning Commission discuss the issues outlined in Staff s report. <br /> Landgraver stated it is likely the City Council will wrestle with the same issues the Planning Commission <br /> is on these two applications.
