• MINUTES OF THE <br /> • ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br /> � Monday,February 11,2013 <br /> 7:00 o'clock p.m. <br /> (6. #12-3582 COLSON CUSTOM HOMES ON BEHALF OF BWB HOLDINGS,LLC, 4731 <br /> NORTH SHORE DRIVE— VARIANCE—RESOL UTION—TABLED, Continued) <br /> Curtis indicated they had not but that they were given an update at their work session. Curtis stated the <br /> Planning Commission has not revisited this since the new surveys. <br /> Levang asked if the DNR has evaluated this application. <br /> Curtis indicated they have not. <br /> Levang asked if the City Engineer has reviewed the plans. <br /> Curtis indicated they have reviewed the plans. <br /> Levang noted those comments are not included in the packet. <br /> Struve indicated he does not have his specific comments available but that they related mainly to the <br /> drainage. <br /> Levang asked if he was aware of the change in the bluff to 50 percent. <br /> Struve indicated he is not. <br /> Levang stated those are her two main concerns. Levang asked to see the average setback. <br /> Curtis stated the City owns the adjacent property so Staff would use the home on the east side. Curtis <br /> indicated this house is even with or slightly behind the average lakeshore setback. The home to the east is <br /> at 98.5 feet and this home is at 99.5 feet from the lake,which is what Staff would use for their point of <br /> reference. <br /> Levang asked if the patio has been pushed back. <br /> Curtis indicated it has been pushed back and is out of the 20-foot setback. <br /> Levang asked if the deck is still in the bluff setback area. <br /> Curtis indicated it is and noted that the deck is elevated,which would minimize the impact in that area. <br /> Levang asked what the difference is between 25 and 50. <br /> Gaffron stated E�ibit D depicts the topography of the area and that it shows a much flatter topography. <br /> The topography depicted on the current survey shows a much steeper slope and it essentially doubles <br /> from 25 percent to 50 percent. The City's definition of the top of bluff relies on the change in slope from <br /> greater than 18 percent to less than 18 percent. The top of the bluff is best depicted by the 966' contour, <br /> which is shown in Exhibit B. <br /> Page 13 of 24 <br />
