MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO COUNCIL-MEETINQ = NOV €M® €R 19; 1 @ €1 <br />APPLICATION #1683 — CONT. <br />Butler asked how a partial grading plan would fit into a grading <br />plan for the whole property. <br />Cook noted that they could watch to make sure the'rest of the <br />property is not compromised for future development. He noted <br />dealing with the drainage along the east lot line is very <br />important at this time, and 'a portion of the retention pond <br />should be developed also. He felt a plan for the proposed <br />roadway and a grading plan which covers drainage along the east <br />lot line would be adequate at this time. <br />Haislet noted this was acceptable to them. He noted that prior <br />to application submittal, he had polled the Planning Commission <br />for their reaction on a lot line rearrangement and then a <br />subdivision vs. one application for a subdivision to eliminate <br />the need for a private roadway as the first would provide for <br />only a 2 lot plat. He noted the Commission has now changed their <br />position and is asking for a roadway to be constructed. <br />Callahan and Bulter felt the first scenario may have been <br />considered as game — playing. <br />Jabbour agreed with the partial grading plan and allowing the <br />existing curb cut to remain for the residence, but felt the <br />roadway should be developed at this time. All Members agreed <br />this is a 3 lot plat.. <br />Haislet asked if the Council would consider a variance to the <br />road standard and allow just a drive to be constructed at this <br />time to serve the two new lots. <br />Jabbour asked what the hardship is for granting the variance. <br />Haislet noted they could have done the two subdivision process <br />and met requirements for a 2 lot plat and not been required to <br />build the roadway. <br />Jabbour felt this was more a technical loophole, rather than a <br />hardship. <br />It was moved by Goetten, seconded by Callahan, to adopt <br />Resolution #3038 for Application #1683 for Robert F. Suess of <br />2590 Watertown Road, approving preliminary subdivision for a <br />three lot plat which would require submittal of a partial grading <br />and road plan, allowing the existing residence to retain curb cut <br />onto Watertown Road, and allowing construction of a driveway <br />rather than a road to serve the two new lots until further <br />development of the property to the north.
