MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION <br /> MONDAY,MARCH 19,2018 <br /> 6:30 o'clock p.m. <br /> Dayton indicated it is. <br /> Chair Thiesse opened the public hearing at 6:50 p.m. <br /> There were no public comments. <br /> Chair Thiesse closed the public hearing at 6:50 p.m. <br /> Landgraver stated in his view there are extenuating circumstances for the average lakeshore setback and <br /> that it will not block any views due to the trees. Landgraver stated he is comfortable approving a <br /> variance. <br /> Thiesse indicated he is in agreement with Commissioner Landgraver. <br /> Dayton noted they were granted a variance ten years ago,which was extended for another year or two,but <br /> that they never received any offers on the land so the plat was never filed. Dayton stated in his view there <br /> is precedent to approve the average lakeshore setback variance. <br /> Leskinen and Schwingler indicated they are in agreement with the comments made about the average <br /> lakeshore setback. <br /> Lemke stated it seems like a long way to extend the sewer for one house and that perhaps it would be <br /> more appropriate if the land was subdivided in the future. <br /> Schoenzeit stated as long as the City Engineer feels the existing two septic sites do not need to be <br /> replaced,then he would be okay with not extending the sewer. <br /> Thiesse indicated he is in agreement. <br /> Schoenzeit stated the Planning Commission could recommend that if the situation changes,the septic <br /> situation be looked at again. <br /> Leskinen stated she is in agreement,noting that there are alternative sites available. <br /> Thiesse asked what the AC units are serving. <br /> Dayton indicated 20-plus years ago the air-conditioning units were moved further away from the home <br /> and placed on a concrete slab inside an old structure to keep them out of sight and to block the sound. <br /> The air-conditioning units are now located on the new lot line,and if the buyers are willing to leave them <br /> there,Dayton stated they would like to leave them there. <br /> Page 5 of 23 <br />
