MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br /> Monday,July 23,2018 <br /> 7:00 o'clock p.m. <br /> PLANNING REPORT <br /> 13. LA18-000055—2709 WALTERS PORT LANE,BILL AND SUE DUNKLEY, <br /> SKETCH PLAN <br /> Sue and William Dunkley,Applicants,and Paul Vogstrom, Developer,were present. <br /> Curtis noted this sketch plan was before the City Council at their June 11 meeting. At that time the <br /> Council directed the applicants to make changes based on the recommendations discussed and return for <br /> another review. The owners continue to propose platting a new lakeshore lot between their Walters Port <br /> home and the Hueler property at 2715 Pence. Because the single property as it exists today results from <br /> the recent combination of 2709 Walters Port and 2710 Pence Lane,a subdivision rather than a lot line <br /> rearrangement is necessary. <br /> The plans show the creation of a new 1-plus acre lot east of the Dunkley home which appears to generally <br /> comply with the zoning and subdivision regulations. The applicants propose to meet the"road frontage" <br /> connection requirement for Lot 2 with a 20-foot connection to Walters Port Lane. Access will remain <br /> over the private Pence Lane driveway for Lot 2. Llyt 1,on which the Dunkleys' home is located,will <br /> continue to access via Walters Port as they historically have done. No connection to Pence Lane for Lot 1 <br /> is proposed,with the existing connection to be removed. <br /> Lot 2 continues to reflect the need for a significant average lakeshore setback variance. The applicant <br /> will be requesting approval of an average lakeshore setback variance as part of the forthcoming formal <br /> plat application. A newly created lot must demonstrate a conforming building envelope and is illustrated <br /> by Staff in Exhibit B. <br /> Curtis stated the City Council should provide clear direction to the applicant. As a sketch plan review, <br /> any suggestions or directions to the applicant are non-binding. <br /> Curtis displayed a sketch depicting the proposed house footprint. <br /> Walsh noted the City Council has heard a number of comments regarding this application previously on <br /> other occasions. Walsh stated of main importance is that the lot be conforming,which it appears to be <br /> according to the proposed sketch plan. Walsh indicated the one item he is unclear about in Staffls report <br /> is where it talks about a 20-foot connection to Walters Port Lane,with access remaining over the private <br /> Pence Lane driveway. Walsh stated he does not understand where that is. <br /> Curtis stated the lot will connect via the yellow corridor illustrated on the overhead. Access to the new lot <br /> will not be over Walters Port but will continue to be over the existing driveway that the Huelers use,with <br /> an outlot on the north. <br /> Walsh noted this is a sketch plan review and not a real public hearing and that the City Council is aware <br /> of a lot of the issues given the previous comments. Walsh stated he would like to give each party a few <br /> minutes to speak and then have the City Council provide some general guidance to the applicant. Walsh <br /> noted any variance requests would go before the Planning Commission where there will be a formal <br /> public hearing. <br /> Seals asked if the building envelope is the pink area depicted on the map. <br /> Page 3 of 8 <br />
