Raiche noted that he would remove the gravel road prior to final subdivision approval and new road constructed along west edge of the property. Goetten motioned to approve the application subject to the following conditions; 1) Private driveway to serve all three lots, no direct access for Lot 1 to Watertown Rd. 2) Removal of existing road down center of property. Developer’s agreement will be required if improve­ ments not completed prior to final plat approval. 3) City to acquire road and utilities easement over driveway outlet. 4) All disturbed area to be seeded within 10 days of grading completion. 5) Payment of park dedication tee in amount of $600.00 $200.00 for each lot. McDonald moved to second. Vote; Ayes (4), Nays (0). Mr. and Mrs. Strong were present. Mabusth noted the certificate of mailing and the affidavit of publica­ tion. Mo one was present in the audience to address this application. Jabbour questioned the maximum width of the proposed driveway and hoped that a minimum of 14 ft. from the lot line could be maintained because of the proximity of wet lands. In reality, the road serves two lots to the rear of the property and therefore could main­ tain the standards of a private driveway. This road would never be used as a proposed through road. He would recommend limiting the width of the road out lot to 30 ft. with the normal cul de sac of 100 ft.

In the original plat of the Stielow Addition the wet lands was incorrectily judged to involve a more extensive area of the pro­ perty. Staff has restaked the wetlands area for t\ia surveyor. A public hearing has been scheduled for June 1st. Mabusth will seek the a-vvi e of the city attorney as to the best method to achieve the vacation. The code's fence standards should distinguish between the densly populated lakeshore ares and the rural area of Orono. All agreed that retaining walls and fences should be dealt separately with in the or­ dinance. A fence or wall should be considered a structure if footings are required. The code should be quite specific as to prohibiting petroleum base (or any other harmful chemicals) treated woods within the O'75' setback of the lake- shore. The Planning Commission unanimously agreed that no fence should be allowed: 1) Within 0-75' of lakeshore 2) If house is set closer than *75' or farther then 75’ from lakeshore - a fence could be constructed at the average setback line determined by the prin­ ciple structure of each adjacent lot. Lakeshore lots would be allowed fences at a maximum height of 6' - degree of opaqueness need not be con­ sidered as long as the fence meets the proper setback. The Planning Commission voted 3 to 2 against any need for fences around swimming pools and stated that staff would be the better judge. Minority of 2 felt that fences were necessary in densly populated areas of the City. Hammerel moved to approve the minutes of April 17, 1981. Goetten seconded. Meeting adjourned at 9:55. A.H.
