� T R��ULAR MEETING OF THE ORONO COUNCIL, AUGUST 14, 1979 Page 2 Mr. Alan Olson, Citv Planner, entered into the CONDITIONAL USE PERMI record the following dated Julv 30, 1979 , �ahich 2677 Casco Point Rd. states: • #436 Alexander Holzer �9hether or not a revised plan is submitted for the August 14 , 1979 Council meeting, I strongly recom- mend that the Council take action at that time to permit final construction/reconstruction to occur. I have again inspected the �Aroperty and am prepared to give detailed recommendations about final wall height, etc. Briefl�, my opinions are as follows: l. Area between Holzer and Smerling house - natural drainage was toward Smerling house; wall as built directs drainage toward lake; removal of one block could be done without change in drain- age; removal of two or more blocks increases , likelihood of again directing runoff toward Smerling house. 2. Area between front of Holzer house and 75' line - several blocks could be removed without affecting drainage in steps with approximately 16" - 24" remaining exposed on SMerling side. 3. Area in front of 75 ' line on south side - all but one block could be removed and that could be buried with drainage being directed parallel to lake as naturally occurred. 4. Area across front of Holzer lot - wall could be removed down to level where plastic appears in joints (4-5 blocks) with remaining wall buried and ground sloped to meet edge of bank; drainage would be toward lake as naturally occurred. 5. Area between Holzer and Downey houses - wall - could remain as is; directs water toward lake. 6. Area in front of Holzer and Downey houses to approximate area where steps are built - wall should remain high enough to direct and keep water on Holzer property to avoid damage to Downey bo�thouse; can be stepped down to match buried wall along front. These descriptions are hard to draw on a plan but they could easily be marked in the field to accomplish these results. The basic intent would be to protect adjacent properties from direct runoff but to return to natural drainage patterns in the lakeshore area avoiding the terracing effect of the walls. , (Continued)
