MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br /> Monday,April 17, 2017 <br /> 6:30 o'clock p.m. <br /> With regards to Lot 2,Wahlender stated he also believe that has some shallow areas and it would be <br /> difficult to get a boat in and out of there. Wahlender commented putting two lakeshore lots on the north <br /> side of the peninsula sounds like a recipe for people fighting about dock placement. <br /> Wahlender stated if one were to construct a house of any height right there on Lot 1,it would block the <br /> light to the adjoining property's back yard. There will also likely be issues with runoff given the close <br /> proximity of the house. Over time that blockage of light and possible drainage issues are going to create a <br /> much damper back yard. If you go from what is immediately behind 790 North Arm,there is a steep <br /> drop-off right before the lakeshore that goes down to a little grassy area just above the lakeshore,which is <br /> where the pump station is. Wahlender stated he would want somebody to take a look at that,because if <br /> there is too much moisture,the area could slide down. Wahlender stated it has ramifications to 800 North <br /> Arm and the sewer system that is located down there,which is very concerning to them. <br /> Wahlender stated on the very south end of 790 North Arm there is a very nice screened in porch that does <br /> have some view of the lakeshore. Based on the placement of the house on Lot 1,it is very likely that they <br /> will be looking at HVAC systems, generators,exhaust pipes and things of that nature. Wahlender stated <br /> he would not like that either. <br /> Wahlender stated it appears they are wedging three parcels where it would be better if there were only <br /> two lots. Wahlender requested the City look into some of these issues prior to approving anything and <br /> that he would also be happy to discuss this with the property owners. <br /> Chair Thiesse closed the public hearing at 6:57 p.m. <br /> Thiesse stated he would like to start with the average setback. Thiesse stated he would like to see that <br /> average setback maintained until the first two homes are constructed,at which time it comes back to the <br /> City for review. Thiesse asked if the City has any control over mandating that a new house be pulled <br /> back behind the 75-foot line if the existing house is reconstructed. <br /> Gaffron stated to his belief the City can do that. Gaffron stated assuming there was no subdivision,the <br /> existing house is way forward of the average setback. Once there is a subdivision,depending on how <br /> Page 8 of 72 <br />
