MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br /> Monday,July 17,2017 <br /> 6:30 o'clock p.m. <br /> Landgraver stated he voted on the ordinance based on believing it was based on side lots and that in his <br /> view it was not vetted for the lake yard. <br /> Thiesse stated the question he has is whether the side yard follows the whole side lot line. <br /> Landgraver stated his understanding was that it would follow the side yard until a certain point,which is <br /> similar to a fence. <br /> Barnhart stated there is an ordinance before the Planning Commission tonight that would prohibit <br /> structures within the 75-foot zone. The Planning Commission could recommend approval of the <br /> ordinance,recommend no change to the existing ordinance, or modify the draft. <br /> Schoenzeit noted the impact of these structures is minimal,and if more complaints are received,the <br /> Planning Commission can revisit it. <br /> Landgraver commented the City approved the ordinance,and by reversing it,it appears the City is <br /> over-regulating things. Landgraver stated it is likely that someone at some point will build something that <br /> does not quite meet the rules and then the City will have to come back and adjust the language. <br /> Schwingler commented it is not possible to envision every transgression. <br /> Schoenzeit asked whether Staff will send a letter to a property owner if the ordinance is changed. <br /> Barnhart noted the existing ones would be allowed to remain. <br /> Lemke stated one complaint should not necessitate the need for a change. <br /> Schoenzeit stated in his view the City is looking to pass something that doesn't fix a single complaint. <br /> Landgraver stated he does not think the Planning Commission looked at the lake yard when originally <br /> considering the ordinance,but if the City now excludes the lake yard,it will look like they are over- <br /> regulating. <br /> Leskinen stated in her view it is singling out the lakeshore property owners. Leskinen questioned what <br /> the benefit would be to exclude it now and whether people are going to keep on doing it anyway. <br /> Leskinen stated in her view the City has other safeguards to protect the lake. <br /> Schoenzeit moved,Olson seconded,to recommend no change of Application No. 17-3953,City of <br /> Orono,Text Amendment,Non-Encroachments. VOTE: Ayes 4,Nays 3,Olson, Schwingler and <br /> Landgraver Opposed. <br /> 7. UPDATE ON CITY COUNCIL MEETINGS: JUNE 26,2017,AND JULY 10,2017 <br /> Barnhart reported on the following actions taken by the City Council: <br /> • Denied the rock crushing operation <br /> • Approved a correction to the small lot setback regulation <br /> Page 19 of 20 <br />
