MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br /> Monday,August 20,2018 <br /> 6:30 o'clock p.m. <br /> c. The lot proposed requires a lake yard setback to improve the property. Staff recommends a lot be <br /> created at or nearer the point that does not require a lake setback to develop. <br /> Thiesse asked if they would require 30 feet to create an outlot. <br /> Barnhart indicated they would need a 30-foot wide outlot to provide access to the front lot/back lot. The <br /> City would also look for some sort of turnaround within the development. This plat is similar to a recent <br /> application approved on Ivy Place. In that situation,the developer agreed to provide onsite turnarounds <br /> and sprinkler the buildings to help offset the challenges created by the long road ending in a dead end. <br /> Thiesse asked what this would do to the development of the next lots down. <br /> Barnhart stated the sketch plan does not address that and that they are simply proposing to plat these four <br /> lots into one buildable lot. <br /> Thiesse asked if it would preclude them from developing those lots. <br /> Barnhart stated it would depend on whether the Planning Commission was okay with waiving the access <br /> for the proposed lot. The front lot/back lot situation basically allows them to create this lot and then one <br /> additional lot that would be accessed via the outlot. <br /> Thiesse asked if a cul-de-sac would need to be constructed if the Planning Commission is not agreeable <br /> with the front lot/back lot. <br /> Barnhart stated that is one of the options. <br /> Sven Gustafson, Stonewood,stated this is a unique property since it is located on a peninsula and is <br /> narrow. To develop the property in any way would require some variances and that they are here looking <br /> for some feedback and direction on how best to proceed with developing it. <br /> In regards to the road,currently Baldur Park Road is 12 feet wide and it would not make much sense to <br /> have a 24-foot wide road at the end of the 12-foot road. Gustafson stated they are looking at an outlot that <br /> would serve some lots beyond this property. <br /> Gustafson stated they do not know about the wetlands at this point. Once the wetland is delineated,that <br /> will likely drive some changes. Gustafson stated obviously the 75-foot lakeshore setbacks are impossible <br /> to meet no matter what they do with the lot lines. <br /> Chair Thiesse asked for public comment at 6:49 p.m. <br /> Cindy McDonnell, 1420 Baldur Park Road, stated she has a concern about the proposal. Baldur Park <br /> Road is brand new since the flood of 2014,and if this lot requires a lot of fill,the trucks hauling in the fill <br /> may damage the road and she would like some assurances that repairs will be made to the road if any <br /> occur. <br /> McDonnell stated if there is going to be future development down at the peninsula, she would like to see a <br /> turnaround since this will generate some additional traffic down the road,which needs to be taken into <br /> Page 4 of 12 <br />
