MINUTES OF THE ORONO TRUTH -IN -TAXATION MEETING and the ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING Monday, December 12, 2016 6:30 o'clock p.m. 14. #15-3763116-3860 CHRISTOPHER AND GAIL BOLLIS/CHRISTOPHER AND RACHEL BOLLIS, 200-350 STUBBS BAY ROAD NORTH -FINAL PLAT APPROVAL — RESOLUTION NO. 6708 (continued) Mattick concurred the declaration does contemplate it becoming a primary access. Mattick stated from an intensive use standpoint, the neighbors can object to something when it becomes a more intense use. Mattick noted the primary access to those lots will not be through that access road but will be through the cul-de-sac. At this point there will still only be one lot that has secondary access. Mattick stated it appears the more logical way to go is through the cul-de-sac, which would lessen the traffic on that secondary access. Fleming commented he is attempting to look into the future and anticipate what might happen. Fleming stated right now they are discussing the plat of Kintyre Preserve and allowing the secondary access. Fleming stated in his view he does not believe a secondary access is that common. Fleming stated he may experience problems selling his property depending on what that secondary access is used for and that he is attempting to define that. McMillan asked if there is a problem with the lot line between Lots 5 and 6 appearing to allow access to the secondary access for both lots. Mattick stated from a practical standpoint, it likely will, but that from a recorded standpoint it will be clarified which lot has access to it. Bollis stated an easy solution is to move the driveway to whatever lot will have the access and that he does not want to have a problem with it in the future. Gaffron noted relocating the driveway may raise some issues with the Watershed District and that Staff has not reviewed what those impacts of relocating the driveway will be. Bollis stated there is a culvert under the driveway and that they could move it beyond the ditch or wetland. Bollis stated in his view there is room to move the driveway by five feet. Gaffron stated that might be possible but that he has not looked at that. Gaffron stated he just wanted to let the applicant know that that is a potential issue. Walsh stated the City does not know if the driveway can be moved at this point and that they will have to come back and show the City that they can move the road. Mattick stated the time period has already been extended once and the application should be approved or denied tonight unless an extension is given from the applicant. Printup stated he is fine with moving the driveway. Bollis stated in his view they can move the majority of the driveway and that it can be made so the lot not being allowed to use it would not have easy access to it. Bollis stated moving the lot line at this point would create a number of problems with lot sizes. Page 18 of 33
