MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br /> Monday,October 8,2018 <br /> 7:00 o'clock p.m. <br /> Printup commented he would like to see the easements get cleaned up. <br /> Crosby asked if the proposed lots are conforming. <br /> Barnhart indicated they are not and that they would need to combine lots in order to get to the half-acre <br /> minimum. <br /> Sven Gustafson, Stonewood, stated the City Council has provided some good direction and that he is here <br /> to answer questions. <br /> Mark Gronberg, Gronberg&Associates, indicated they looked at some of the lot sizes in the area and that <br /> there are a number of lots that are way under the 0.5 threshold. Gronberg asked how that would play into <br /> this. <br /> Walsh stated the City Council has to deal with the current codes,and unless there is some kind of inherent <br /> difficulty,they need to follow that. <br /> Walsh commented a cul-de-sac is probably necessary,but he will leave whether the road should be public <br /> or private up to the applicant. <br /> Gronberg noted a cul-de-sac does take up quite a bit of room and that there are some floodplain issues. <br /> As a result, a turnout would work a lot better than a cul-de-sac. <br /> Gustafson stated the Planning Commission appeared to be in favor of a hammerhead or a turnout. <br /> Printup commented he would like to see the cul-de-sac as one option. <br /> Gustafson asked how far the cul-de-sac would be from the water. <br /> Gronberg indicated it would be close to the water. <br /> Walsh stated that could be considered a practical difficulty, and because the current road is not as wide as <br /> it should be,there is some flexibility there. <br /> Gronberg noted the area is so narrow in some spots that they will have to encroach into the 75-foot <br /> setback. Gronberg asked if there is a magical number on that. <br /> Wash stated there are some inherent practical difficulties,which the Council understands, and that they <br /> should follow Staff's recommendations. <br /> The City Council took no formal action on this item. <br /> (A recess was taken from 8:32 p.m.to 8:40 p.m.) <br /> 15.
