MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO PLANNING COMMUSSION MEETING <br />Monday, April 17,2017 <br />6:30 o'clock p.m. %A <br />Fretham stated in his view the footprints are fairly representative of what will be constructed unless they <br />are required to abide with the one-story level. Fretharn stated Staff would like to see a 15 -foot setback <br />instead of the 10 feet that is shown, which they are open to changing. Fretham stated it was laid out the <br />way it is because they were cognizant of the neighbor's concerns. <br />Thiesse asked if there is a 15 -foot setback required. <br />Gaffron indicated it is 15 feet. Gaffron stated with this type of a subdivision and this kind of an odd lot <br />configuration, the City may need to make some specific yard designations for this site since it will not fit <br />into a specific code. Gaffron stated in his view 15 feet is totally reasonable for that setback from <br />proposed Lot 1. Gaffron stated he is not sure whether there is any possibility of moving one of the lot <br />lines or putting it at an angle. Gaff-ron stated this is one of those situations where there needs to be <br />attention to details. <br />Thiesse asked if the average lakeshore setback would be established at the time of subdivision approval. <br />Gaffron indicated it would be, <br />Thiesse asked if the applicant knows what stormwater management will be done. <br />Fretham stated he has an idea of what needs to be done. <br />Thiesse commented the applicant should be aware that he is surrounded by a lake that Orono takes great <br />steps to protect. <br />Gaffron stated as part of a preliminary plat application, Staff will need to know where the fire and police <br />chiefs stand on things, especially as it relates to emergency access and turnaround. Gaffron stated this is <br />an opportunity to resolve some issues but they might not be able to accomplish everything on this <br />property. Gaff-ron stated if improvements need to be made to the cul-de-sac, the greater question becomes <br />where the land for road or turnaround expansion comes from. <br />Thiesse asked if there is a lift station in the area. <br />Page 51 of 71 <br />
