building? The dormer makes it look like another dwelling. It's not breaking the budget <br /> taking the dormer off. <br /> Mr. Byrne asked if the Planning Commission would be more compliant if the dormer <br /> was removed. <br /> Mr. Burslie states that is not an option. If we approve taking the dormer off, it needs to <br /> mitigate the problem. Plant some trees. Planning Commission Member Hallan stated <br /> removing the dormer technically doesn't mitigate height. <br /> Mr. Erickson asked when the final grade is established around the structure,what then? <br /> There is grade and drainage that has to be addressed. <br /> ROLL CALL VOTE: Ms. Brown: Aye; Mr. Habein: Aye; Mr. Hallan: Nay; Mr. <br /> Oraskovich: Nay; Mr.Wilson, Nay. Motion fails. Aye: 2 Nay: g. <br /> Planning Commission Member Hallan stated that when the permit was issued the old <br /> definition for Building Height was in the Code. The definition was recently amended. <br /> Mr. Burslie asked if the applicant would consider tabling this matter to go back to <br /> establish the grading issues and match the old definition for Building Height. <br /> \., When asked by Mr. Byrne, Chair Seils stated that if he agrees to table this it would give <br /> him the opportunity to do final grading around 2 sides. Mr. Burslie stated only one side <br /> would be necessary. Planning Commission Member Hallan stated on the north side and <br /> the west side, increase grade 1 1/2 to 2 feet will get drainage away and reduce the height <br /> from the west and from the road. <br /> Mr. Burslie stated they wouldn't need a Variance then; the new grade would be <br /> acceptable to the Planning Commission; Mr. Byrne could withdraw their request and <br /> meet the Code. <br /> Mr. Erickson stated the grading can be done this fall,but tree planting would need to be <br /> done later. <br /> Planning Commission Member Oraskovich stated this can be tabled up to 12o days to <br /> come to a conclusion with the grade. Chair Seils stated 12o days to implement,to get <br /> the grading done. <br /> A motion was made by Planning Commission Member Wilson, seconded by <br /> Planning Commission Member Habein, to table this matter. All members <br /> voted"aye". Motion carried. <br /> �.. MINUTES 6 <br /> Pequot Lakes Planning Commission <br /> October 16,2014 <br />
