MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br /> Monday,March 20,2017 <br /> 6:30 o'clock p.m. <br /> Staff recommends approval of the request. <br /> Lemke asked owns the land around the dock. <br /> Barnhart indicated the property owner owns four lots in this area,including portions of the wetland near <br /> the dock. <br /> Thiesse asked if what they are proposing will be high enough out of the water. <br /> Barnhart stated the City requires structures to be one foot above the water. <br /> Alex Ugorets, 175 Brentwood,Tonka Bay, stated the reason he would like a dock is to serve as an <br /> amenity to the professional clients that will be renting office space in the building. Ugorets stated he <br /> envisions the tenants utilizing the dock on nice days when they wish to work outside and in his opinion <br /> that will be the only use of the dock. <br /> Ugorets noted it will be a permanent structure but will be more of a walkway rather than a dock since <br /> there is no way to get a boat in and out of that area. Ugorets indicated he does own the wetland near the <br /> dock. <br /> Landgraver asked if the dock will be secured at night. <br /> Ugorets stated he did not plan to secure it since it is not that easy to access except from the back of the <br /> building. Ugorets indicated there are cameras on the building,and unless there is an issue with the dock, <br /> he does not see a need for securing it at night. <br /> Lemke asked what type of wood will be used to construct the dock. <br /> Ugorets indicated it will either be treated wood or cedar and that it will be constructed to meet the <br /> requirements of the code. No creosote treated wood will be used. Ugorets stated the proposed plan <br /> merely depicts the location of the dock and has not been designed to City specifications at this time but <br /> will be at the time they request a building permit. <br /> Lemke asked why there is a rope that extends four feet above. <br /> Ugorets indicated the rope is to be used by people using the dock and that the height can be adjusted if <br /> necessary. <br /> Landgraver asked if he is okay with adding reflectors to the dock. <br /> Ugorets indicated he is. <br /> Chair Thiesse opened the public hearing at 6:40 p.m. <br /> There were no public comments regarding this application. <br /> Chair Thiesse closed the public hearing at 6:40 p.m. <br /> Page 2 of 43 <br />
