MINUTES OF THE ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING Monday, June 26, 2017 7:00 o'clock p.m. 16. #16-3883 KEVIN ANDERSON/JAMES FRANZEL, 800 NORTH ARM DRIVE, PRELIMINARY PLAT — RESOLUTION NO. 6774 — Continued Walsh noted Staff's report says the average lakeshore setback will be per the conceptual building setbacks as shown. Walsh asked if the building pad for Lot 3 would be a different building pad than what is shown as the existing building pad. Barnhart stated the average lakeshore setback would be identified and that the conceptual building pad would be out of the 75 -foot zone by the two feet that the current house encroaches. Kevin Anderson, Applicant, stated the only item that was not discussed was the easement that was created for the utility company. Anderson stated by moving the property lot, the utility company can go through that area via the driveway on one of the lots. Anderson stated moving the line was to increase visibility and to provide the easement. Franzel noted it would put the easement along the property line, which would be the most reasonable use of the land rather than having it cut significantly through Lot 1. Barnhart pointed out the location of the easement and noted that shifting the green line over would require a new easement. Barnhart noted a standard plat typically shows easements along the property lines. Anderson stated if they move the easement up and then have the easement follow the property line to create a 140 -foot wide lot, they would create a situation where there would be a very sharp turn. Barnhart stated Staff feels the line can be moved over relatively easily and that Staff is attempting to preserve the 140 -foot width. Barnhart noted there are two easements, with one of the easements following the property line and the other easement providing access to the lift station. Anderson noted there currently is no easement for the lift station. Barnhart stated the lift station does impede the use and enjoyment of the property and that Staff is attempting to minimize that as much as possible. Walsh asked whether the applicant is okay with relocating the building pad for Lot 3 out of the 75 -foot zone. Anderson stated if the house is torn down, there would be enough room to relocate the building pad two feet so it is out of the 75 -foot zone. Crosby asked if there is anything on Lot 1 currently. Anderson indicated there is not. Anderson stated the Planning Commission had recommended the proposed building pad on Lot 1 be moved to the south, which has been done. Anderson asked whether the City Council would be willing to grant the lot width variance. Walsh stated that appears to be the only issue and that it would seem more logical to square up the lot as the applicant has proposed. Page 7 of 12
