MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING HELD ON MAY 27,1997 (#6 - #2209 Spring Hill Golf Club - Continued) • Krueger asked about possible oak wilt and Dutch elm disease problems spreading on the property and conditions placed on the applicant pertaining to the issue. Jabbour said the building permit process calls for a tree expert to be on site. Krueger indicated that Braman's letter said the issue would be addressed where economically feasible. He questioned who would determine what is economically feasible. Crosby said the issue can be addressed in the developer's agreement involving grading and will include responsible tree removal.

( 0) #2221 SVEN A. WASBERG & ARLENE DE CANDIA, 3115 NORTH SHORE DRIVE - VARIANCES /CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT - RESOLUTION NO. 3903 The applicant was present. Van Zomeren reported that the Planning Commission has reviewed the application on three separate occasions. As a result, the applicant has substantially revised his proposal for the removal of the existing residence and construction of a new residence. A conditional use permit is required for excavation and fill in the 0 -75' setback along with lot area, lot width, hardcover, average lakeshore, and side setback variances. Van Zomeren indicated that the Planning Commission was concerned with the location of the residence. The applicant moved the house back on the lot as far as possible as well as reduced the side yard variance. A long driveway is required due to the location of the lagoon. A small turnaround will be provided. Hardcover calculations concern the 0 -75' setback area because the entire site is 75' from the lake and the lagoon. Both the lake and lagoon are subject to the Shoreland Ordinance. 12
