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 Cl1STOM HOMES ON BEHALF OF BWB HOLDINGS,LLC, 4731 <br /> NORTH SHORE DRI i�E— VARIANCE—RESOL UTION—TABLED, Continued) <br /> Levang asked how close the deck is to the top of the bluff. <br /> Curtis indicated it is probably just a few feet. The deck was moved out of the area that the Planning <br /> Commission saw as the bluff depicted on the survey they reviewed. Since the deck is going to be built on <br /> post footings and not have a foundation,the impact to the bluff is not as severe. <br /> Levang noted it is still a few feet from the top of the bluff. <br /> McMillan asked if the application has to be renoticed for public hearing. <br /> Mattick indicated what is being discussed is not a substantial change and that it would not need to be <br /> renoticed. <br /> Colson stated they have been trying for quite some time to get this approved and that they initially felt <br /> that it would go through relatively quickly since it was already approved in 2006. <br /> Printup stated since this plan has previously been approved,the only thing that stood for him out was the <br /> deck. Printup indicated he is okay with the deck going into the bluff impact zone. <br /> Colson stated being a deck,there are other things they can do in order to carry the load points for the <br /> deck. Colson indicated on one side of the property there is more of a swale between the two properties <br /> and that there is not lakeshore there. <br /> Levang stated she would be in favor of the application going back to the Planning Commission. <br /> McMillan indicated she also would be in favor of the Planning Commission revisiting the plan. <br /> Levang stated she would also like the DNR to weigh in on this application since there was a failure in the <br /> past. <br /> Curtis indicated she does not know whether that would happen before the Planning Commission meeting <br /> but that she will forward the information to the DNR. <br /> John Rodel,4725 North Shore Drive, stated the reason the hillside failed was that a number of years ago <br /> whoever lived there threw all their garbage over the side. When the hillside failed,there were plastic <br /> bottles and milk cartons that caused the less friction slide that sent the entire hillside into the lake. Rodel <br /> stated it was a garbage issue and not a structural dirt issue. Rodel stated hopefully the subject property <br /> does not have this same problem. <br /> Colson stated the deck will not disturb the soil and that it could be as simple as drilling a screw into the <br /> ground. Colson stated they will not be changing or disturbing the soil. <br /> Levang moved,Bremer seconded,to send Application#12-3582,Colson Custom Homes on behalf <br /> of BWB Holdings,LLC,4731 North Shore Drive,back to the Planning Commission for an <br /> additional review at their February meeting.
