' MINUTES OF TI� ORONO PL�ANNING CONIlvIISSION IviEETING HELD ON OCTOBER 17, 1994 {#9-�1970- �'Vold - Continued) Mabusth said the City Engineer reports the need to protect the walkout sin�le stall garage on the property to west from flooding. The applicant was�iven an option to design underground tiie. This method would require hydraulic information to ensure adequate sizin�of pipe so that floodin�would be held one foot below the 100 year storm level. The applicant, his engineer and the City Engineer agree there is adequate fall to support having an abor•e-�round swale, rather than a below-ground pipe. The City would require a draina�e easement from the applicant. Mr. Ronninjan's letter voiced concern with the possible alteration to the topography which he was not in favor of, citing the excavation fill, raising of the property, and standing water. Mabusth said the buildin� pad does not have to be moved toward the road, and also noted that the swale will aid the drainage problem on the west side and cause no erosion problems once ground cover has been restored. The applicant noted that the plan will redirect water around to the front and side. Schrceder commented that if there is no effect on Ronningan, his basic concerns would be with the fill being stored on the site until it was put back in place and fulfillment of the erosion control rules. Noian's concern was �vith mal:ing sure that the drainage area was not heir�g blacked during this construction period. Lindquist moved, Ber� seconded, to approve Aplication#1970 with Staff recornmendations on 1,2, and 3, with a drainage easement be designated during construction prior to bringing in material. Ayes?, Nays 0. {#10) #1971 BRIAN KIPFER/GREG SARGEANT,324 TITRNHAM ROAD- CONDITI�NAL USE PER1�iTT-PUBLIC HEARIlVG- 9:15-9:30 P.:VI. Certificate of?�4ailinj and Affida�it of Publication were noted. Applicants, Brian Kipfer and Greg Sargeant, were present. Mabusth reported it was not the intent of the applicants to create a guesthouse within the living space of detached garage, but, because this area could function as an independent residental unit, Staff has asked that a CUP be filed. This property is 2.8 acres in size and has a septic sized for a fow bedroom residenc� which wil] adequate3y handle the bathroom in the gara.ge living space. This living space consists of a loft azea with a covered porch, a full bathraom, and a lower level work area with sinks. The Staff s concern is whether it is enough to deny the CUP in order that this space can never be used as a separate dwelling as 2.8 area could never meet requiremerns of code. 8
