MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING HELD ON JUNE 231, 1957 (#11 - #2248 David and Jodi Rahn - Continued) • Flint asked what Rahn would do if the structure was moved back on the lot. Rahn noted, if the site was visited, the Council would recognize that the cabin is built on the 3' knoll. To move the structure behind the 75' setback would cause unbelievable land alteration according to Rahn and would be a'nightmare ". Rahn questioned why bulldozing of the land from high point to low point and mitigation should occur when there is no need to do so as it currently stands. A CUP would be required to dig out the high area and move it back on the lot. He noted that the 0 -75' setback would be dug out in order to mitigate. Van Zomeren agreed. Flint noted the historical improvement of properties little by little, Rahn indicated that the application is a case of hardship and would be made clear if the site was viewed. He said he might be able to engineer a plan to maximize the lot but did not want to do so in the flood plain. Jabbour noted that movement of the structure into the flood plain might also encourage drainage to run toward the lake instead of away from it. Jabbour said he agrees with Goetten regarding keeping structure out of the 0 -75' setback, this property is a special case that would require digging up of the 0 -75' setback and a conditional use permit. Flint and Goetten indicated that they would visit the property prior to the review of July 14. is Van Zomeren asked if the plan should come back before the Council as it currently stands. Goetten said yes and including detailed minutes from this meeting.
