Policy Five: High levels of maintenance of individual sewage treatment systems should �-- maybe not be limited to shoreline areas. The City should start with an inventory of the existing systems. The Wellhead area should also be included. Five -year inspections may be too often after the inventory is completed — ten years may be more realistic. Education is key. Changes in the other sections of the document: The Action items are from the old plan and should have been deleted. Our next step will be to update the Action items. Page 20, line 4, goods, not good. Next steps, develop strategies: Inviting residents to a meeting is a good idea but there generally is not broad participation. Mr. Marohn would like to utilize an online interactive page where we can place every policy from the Plan so everyone can read it and comment between now and the end of the year. If the necessary amounts of comments are not obtained, we could then host a public gathering. There would be no cost to the City for this interactive page. It was the consensus to move ahead with this online site. The meeting was called to order by Vice -Chair Adams at 7:00 p.m. L. Vice -Chair Adams opened the public hearings: APPLICANT: David Lind Applicant requests a Variance to Replace Non - Conforming Dwelling with Larger Dwelling within Lake Setback, also Encroach SSTS within Sideyard and Street Setbacks (continuation) Mr. Marohn explained he had met with the applicant and his surveyor on site. The target was to get the impervious coverage below 25 %; 24.7 is proposed. As part of the stormwater management plan ponds and rain gardens are included on the site plan. The water will be captured. The porch is now replaced with a walkway. Pavers are to be removed from the sidewalk and by the water. Eight of the previous conditions have been satisfied; staff recommends including condition #4 and the addition of #10, as corrected. Applicant was present. He presented a drawing indicating the pond between the house and the neighbor to the north. He stated there is no water getting to the lake; it soaks into the lawn. The pond will not work as indicated because of the slope. Trees are included on his drawing and there are utilities there as well. Mr. Hallan stated the north pond cannot be constructed as indicated on the site plan. The south side is where the pond is needed. Minutes 2 Pequot Lakes Planning Commission November 18, 2010
