MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br /> Monday,September 17,2018 <br /> 6:30 o'clock p.m. <br /> Erickson noted he served on the Orono Comprehensive Plan Committee and that they reviewed the lake <br /> access points listed in the Comprehensive Plan. In reviewing the list, it was discovered that over half of <br /> the access points have been closed. Any further discussion about the lake access should refer to that <br /> inventory to see whether this access point is on that inventory. Erickson noted some of the lake access <br /> points that are available to the public are restricted, such as no snowmobiling, which is how it should be <br /> due to the different topography. Erickson stated there is also the issue of neighborhood concerns <br /> regarding the access. <br /> Landgraver stated he has a concern with reducing the width of the lots in order to get four lots in there on <br /> the west side. Landgraver indicated he would be willing to give some compromise on the lake lots if the <br /> west side is brought more into conformity. <br /> Thiesse stated it appears the Planning Commission is okay with some type of right-of-way being <br /> maintained but they have some difficulty with the width of the lots on the west side. Thiesse asked if the <br /> new road is proposed to be private or public. <br /> Barnhart stated currently Wildhurst is a public road. Barnhart stated what he has heard so far regarding <br /> what is important to the Planning Commission is access to the lake, access to Saga Hill from the west, <br /> meeting the requirements for lot width,particularly on the west side, but that they are open to some <br /> flexibility on the east side. Barnhart noted the lot sizes are based on the gross area and the wetlands and <br /> slopes of 18 percent may impact that. <br /> Koch commented they have received a lot of interest on lots that are over two acres and that the 4-lot <br /> number is pretty important to them on that side. <br /> Libby asked if Haddy Street is built to city standards. <br /> Barnhart indicated he has not done that measurement. <br /> Koch stated to his knowledge their engineer did take that into consideration. <br /> Barnhart noted a lot of details are not usually included on a sketch plan and that Staff was looking for <br /> some direction on the three policy questions. <br /> Lemke stated the width of the lots does not bother him as much as it does some of the other Planning <br /> Commissioners. <br /> Thiesse stated once the wetlands and slopes are taken into consideration,the lots will likely shrink. <br /> Lemke recommended the developer pursue city sewer for the other lots. <br /> The Planning Commission took no formal action on this item. <br /> 8.
