MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION <br /> Monday,April 15,2019 <br /> 6:30 o'clock p.m. <br /> At 5.3 acres,the property meets the requirement for twice the two-acre LR-1A minimum lot area to <br /> support a secondary dwelling use/guest house. The proposed guest house will have a 2,182 square foot <br /> footprint where a single 2,200 square foot oversized accessory building is allowed. <br /> The construction of the new residence will result in 9,500 cubic yards of unneeded material. The <br /> applicant proposes to export this material from the site and has indicated the destination site will not be <br /> within the City. In addition, proposed grading work and storm sewer pipe installation will disturb <br /> approximately 5,800 cubic yards of material within the 75-foot lake setback area,which requires an <br /> Interim Use Permit. Neither the 75-foot zone grading, nor the export of materials,will result in the <br /> proposed home being out of character with the neighborhood. <br /> Staff finds the proposed plan conforms to the standards of interim use permit review and the grading <br /> activity will be tied to the building permit for the new residence. <br /> The City Engineer has reviewed the plans for the IUP and will subsequently review and provide direction <br /> regarding the building permit plan set. The haul route appears acceptable,but the applicant should clarify <br /> the ultimate destination for the exported materials. The hauling shall not commence until spring load <br /> restrictions are lifted. <br /> No public comments have been received on this application. <br /> Planning Staff recommends approval of the guest house CUP with the standard covenants and approval of <br /> the IUP for the grading activity in accordance with the City Engineer's and all other applicable <br /> jurisdictional requirements. <br /> Staff also recommends approval subject to the property owners agreeing to the filing of a covenant in the <br /> title of the property providing that the guest house accessory building shall be for the sole use of the <br /> occupants of the principle dwelling, including their domestic employees and nonpaying guests. The guest <br /> dwelling may not be used for a home occupation unless specifically approved by the City or if allowed by <br /> this Code and may not be rented or leased under any circumstances. <br /> The Planning Commission had no questions for Staff. <br /> Chris Lake,Attorney-at-Law, stated they are available to answer any questions. <br /> McCutcheon asked what the haul route will be. McCutcheon noted there is a wicked left turn coming out <br /> of Bracketts Point that is concerning from a public safety point of view. McCutcheon stated he also is not <br /> sure why the haul route ends in Navarre. <br /> Lake stated she is not familiar with the end point of the haul route but that she is familiar with the left turn <br /> and that there have been no problems with the other work that is going on at Bracketts Point. <br /> Curtis stated there is a restricted bridge on the east edge. The applicants have indicated they are not <br /> bringing it to a site in the City, but if the ultimate destination is a site within the City,that site would need <br /> to receive a permit as well. <br /> Libby asked if there is a time frame for starting to move the dirt. <br /> Page 9 of 29 <br />
