MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br />Monday, February 11, 2013 <br />7:00 o’clock p.m. <br />_____________________________________________________________________________________ <br />  Page 13 of 24   <br />   <br /> <br />(6. #12-3582 COLSON CUSTOM HOMES ON BEHALF OF BWB HOLDINGS, LLC, 4731 <br />NORTH SHORE DRIVE – VARIANCE – RESOLUTION – TABLED, Continued) <br /> <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 /> <br />Levang asked if the DNR has evaluated this application. <br /> <br />Curtis indicated they have not. <br /> <br />Levang asked if the City Engineer has reviewed the plans. <br /> <br />Curtis indicated they have reviewed the plans. <br /> <br />Levang noted those comments are not included in the packet. <br /> <br />Struve indicated he does not have his specific comments available but that they related mainly to the <br />drainage. <br /> <br />Levang asked if he was aware of the change in the bluff to 50 percent. <br /> <br />Struve indicated he is not. <br /> <br />Levang stated those are her two main concerns. Levang asked to see the average setback. <br /> <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 /> <br />Levang asked if the patio has been pushed back. <br /> <br />Curtis indicated it has been pushed back and is out of the 20-foot setback. <br /> <br />Levang asked if the deck is still in the bluff setback area. <br /> <br />Curtis indicated it is and noted that the deck is elevated, which would minimize the impact in that area. <br /> <br />Levang asked what the difference is between 25 and 50. <br /> <br />Gaffron stated Exhibit 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 /> <br /> <br /> <br />Item #02 - CC Agenda - 02/25/2013 <br />Approval of Council Minutes 02/11/2013 <br />[Page 13 of 24]
