The analysis contained within staff memos and the exhibits attached to the aforesaid memos, all minutes from the above-mentioned meetings, and all other materials distributed at these meetings are hereby incorporated by reference. A2. The Property is located in the LR-1 B One Family Lakeshore Residential Zoning District. A3. The Property contains 22,592 square feet or 0.51 acres in area and has a defined lot width of 100 feet. A4. The Property is within Tier 1 and hardcover is limited to 25% according to the Stormwater Quality Overlay District. A5. The Owner has applied for a conditional use permit to install retaining walls within the 75-foot lake setback. A6. In considering this application for a conditional use permit, the Council has considered the advice and recommendation of the Planning Commission and the effect of the proposed project upon the health, safety and welfare of the community, existing and anticipated traffic conditions, light and air, danger of fire, risk to the public safety, and the effect on values of property in the surrounding area. CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT ANALYSIS: Municipal Code Section 78-1279(3)(c) states that a wall within a defined bluff and bluff setback; and/or a replacement wall 4 feet in height or greater; and/or any new walls shall require a conditional use permit. New walls and replacement walls greater than 4 feet in height must meet the following conditions. The Council must determine that the walls are: B1.Designed to correct an established erosion problem; the Owners have indicated that the new walls were necessary to preserve the lake slope due to the existing wall failure and neglect over time. This criterion is met; and B2.Suitable given the demonstrated need; The Owners'surveyor provided the following statement: the `proposed retaining walls follow the same general layout as the existing retaining walls. Existing dry-stacked stone walls are failing and in need of replacement. Areas between new walls are proposed with plantings to help with screening of walls". This criterion has been met; and 2 MONO CITY OF ORONO RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL NO. 7477 -'-ESH00' B3.Designed by a registered engineer or landscape architect, depending on project scope; the Owners have provided an updated certificate of survey and engineered wall construction plan from a registered engineer and/or surveyor supporting the need for the currently proposed number and location of replacement walls. This criterion has been met; and B4.Designed to be the minimum size necessary to control the erosion problem. The Owners have provided a plan and statement from a licensed professional supporting the proposed landscaping and replacement wall solution. This criterion has been met. In addition, Municipal Code Section 78-196 provides a list of conditions supporting CUP issuance. The City Council may grant a CUP as applied for or in modified form. Based on the application and the evidence submitted, the Council must find that the proposed use at the proposed location is or will be: B5.Consistent with the community management plan; the new walls and landscape plan will help to preserve the lake slope. Protection and preservation of the natural lake shoreline is an identified priority of the Comprehensive Plan. This criterion has been met. B6. Compliant with the zoning code, including any conditions imposed on specific uses as required by article V, division 3 of the City Code; retaining walls within the lake yard are permitted where they are deemed necessary to protect the integrity of the slope. The Owners'engineer provided a statement indicating the need for the proposed walls and plantings. This criterion has been met. B7.Adequately served by police, fire, roads, and stormwater management; the property meets this standard. B8.Provided with an adequate water supply and sewage disposal system; the property meets this standard. B9.Not expected to generate excessive demand for public services at public cost; the retaining wall project should not generate an excessive demand for public services at a public cost. This criterion has been met. B10. Compatible with the surrounding area as the area is used both presently and as it is planned to be used in the future; the installation of replacement stone retaining walls 3 MONO CITY OF ORONO RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL -4, 4.

Consistent with the character of the surrounding area, unless a change of character is called for in the community management plan; the installation of replacement stone retaining walls, including the proposed landscape plan to screen the walls, will be compatible with the character of the surrounding area. This criterion has been met. B12. Compatible with the character of buildings and site improvements in the surrounding area, unless a change of character is called for in the community management plan; the installation of replacement stone retaining walls including the proposed landscape plan to screen the walls will be compatible with the character of the improvements within the surrounding area. This criterion has been met. B13. Not expected to substantially impair the use and enjoyment of the property in the area or have a materially adverse impact on the property values in the area when compared to the impairment or impact of generally permitted uses; the lakeshore slope improvements should not impact the neighboring property values or the enjoyment of the neighboring property owners. This criterion has been met. B14. Provided with screening and buffering adequate to mitigate undesirable views and activities likely to disturb surrounding uses; the applicant has provided a landscape plan which, once matured, should provide adequate natural screening and buffering of the retaining wall improvements when viewed from the lake. This criterion has been met. B15. Not create a nuisance whichgenerates smoke, noise, glare, vibration, odors, fumes, dust, electrical interference, general unsightliness, or other means; the proposed walls should not create a nuisance situation. B16. Not cause excessive non-residential traffic on residential streets, parking needs that cause a demonstrable inconvenience to adjoining properties, traffic congestion, or unsafe access; during the construction timelines for the home and the lake slope improvements, there will be additional nonresidential traffic on Cherry Avenue. The Owners, their contractors and the home builder are responsible for repairing any damage to the public improvements and shall keep the streets clear of sediment and debris at all times. This criterion has been met. 4 O CITY OF ORONO RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL tiF NO. 7477 `4kESH00' B17. Designed to take into account the natural, scenic, and historic features of the area and to minimize environmental impact; the applicant has opted to install replacement walls using boulder materials and has proposed landscaping that will screen the walls and will be compatible with the character of the improvements within the surrounding area. This criterion has been met. B18. All exterior lighting shall be so directed so as not to cast glare toward or onto the public right-of-way or neighboring residential uses or districts; the lake yard improvements should not result in any lighting or glare being cast off the property toward the public street, the neighbors, or the lake.
