MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION <br /> MONDAY,MARCH 19,2018 <br /> 6:30 o'clock p.m. <br /> Barnhart stated the City Engineer will review the grading and drainage but that he will not look at a <br /> retaining wall that is less than four feet in height. <br /> Gustafson stated the stairway and wall will be constructed from a barge off the lake. Gustafson stated <br /> when the bigger rocks are placed to retain the grade,there will be drainage rock behind them,which will <br /> help capture some of the water. If the stairway is straight,the water will go straight down and lead to <br /> erosion. Gustafson noted they will have to do some slight grading and that they will add more vegetation <br /> to help hold the bank in there. <br /> Gustafson stated the company has been around a long time and that they want to do it right the first time <br /> around so repairs do not need to be made. <br /> Lemke moved,Leskinen seconded,to recommend approval of Application No.LA18-000016, <br /> Dale Gustafson, 1370 Cherry Place,granting of a 0-75 foot lake setback variance. VOTE: Ayes 6, <br /> Nays 0. <br /> 6. LA18-000019 MARK WILLIAMS,2697 CASCO POINT ROAD,VARIANCE,7:35 P.M.— <br /> 7:58 P.M. <br /> Mark Williams,Applicant,was present. <br /> Oakden stated the applicant is requesting an average lakeshore setback variance, a 75-foot lake yard <br /> setback, a hardcover variance, and lot area and lot width variances in order to construct a new single- <br /> family house. <br /> The applicant is proposing to demolish the existing house and construct a new house. This lakeshore lot <br /> is lower in the street third of the lot, forming a bowl on the back end of the lot,which limits the building <br /> envelope of the lot. The new proposed home sits partially within the footprint of the existing home. The <br /> applicant is asking for variances to center the home on the lot,which creates a new encroachment into the <br /> 75-foot lake yard with the porch and corresponding hardcover. <br /> The applicant is also proposing to move the home back from 61 feet from the ordinary high-water level to <br /> 64.5 feet. To meet the average lakeshore setback,they would need to be 66 feet from the OHWL,which <br /> is the same distance as their neighbors to the south. The lot to the north is currently vacant. <br /> The new structure will consist of approximately 140 square feet of the single-story porch within the 75- <br /> foot lake yard and roughly 30 square feet in the average lake setback where no structure currently exists. <br /> Page 13 of 23 <br />
