The applicant will <br />also be required to take all reasonable precautions to ensure that the mature oak and ash trees <br />within the 0-75-foot setback zone are not affected by construction, and in the event the trees are <br />either removed or die as a result of the construction, the applicants will be required to plant a <br />replacement tree. <br /> <br />Leskinen asked if the applicant is clear on what the motion is with respect to the shed and the garage. <br /> <br />Ciliberto indicated she understands the motion. Ciliberto asked if she could leave the shed where it is. <br /> <br />Leskinen indicated it would need to be moved to a conforming location or removed. <br /> <br />Ciliberto stated they would like the shed be conforming; but if it is not, they would likely go forward <br />without it. <br /> <br />Thiesse asked if any additional engineering information should be submitted regarding the retaining <br />walls. <br /> <br />Leskinen noted that was covered under the City Engineer’s comments. <br /> <br />VOTE: Ayes 7, Nays 0. <br /> <br />3. #14-3665 GLADYS McCLENDON ON BEHALF OF ORONO WOODLANDS, INC., 2100 <br />SIXTH AVENUE NORTH, VARIANCE, 7:28 P.M. – 7:31 P.M. <br /> <br />Gladys McClendon, Applicant, was present. <br /> <br />Leskinen noted this application is pretty straight forward and asked whether the Planning Commission <br />would like to hear Staff’s report. <br /> <br />Landgraver stated this is a very reasonable application and that Staff’s recommendations are appropriate. <br /> <br />It was the consensus of the Planning Commission to forego Staff’s formal report. <br /> <br />Chair Leskinen opened the public hearing at 7:28 p.m. <br /> <br />Mark Wolf, 2670 Kelley Parkway, stated he is supportive of Orono Woodlands and that he would support <br />this application. <br /> <br />Gladys McClendon, Applicant, stated she is the Administrator at Orono Woodlands and that her goal is to <br />construct an attached garage for the residents for safety reasons.
