MINUTES OF THE ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING Monday, August 14, 2017 7:00 o'clock p.m. 9. #17-3945 WILLIAM AND SUE DUNKLEY, 2709 WALTERS PORT LANE AND 2710 PENCE LANE — SKETCH PLAN — Continued City Attorney Mattick stated he understands Mr. Hueller's position and that he would note the City Council does not have the authority to say an easement governs a certain way. Mattick stated the sketch plan presumes the Dunkleys will have access over Lot 8 and that he would recommend the City Council not get involved in any negotiations regarding Lot 8. Seals asked if the City generally discourages shared driveway situations. Crosby noted it is a joint private road and not necessarily a shared driveway. Curtis stated City Code allows two homes to access off of a private road and that a third home triggers the requirement for a wider road. The City Council took no formal action on this item. 10. #17-3948 APEX HOLDINGS, LLC, 2635 KELLEY PARKWAY CUP SENIOR HOUSING PROJECT, COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT, REZONING AND PRELIMINARY MASTER PLAN, FINAL PLAT Sanjeev Mangalick, Applicant, and Viren Gori, Architect, were present. Barnhart reviewed his Staff memorandum dated August 14, 2017, regarding a proposal to construct senior housing consisting of a 2 -story residential structure with 70 units. The applicant is requesting rezoning to RPUD, approval of a Comprehensive Plan Amendment, platting of the existing outlot, and a Conditional Use Permit and master plan. The Planning Commission recommended approval of the various actions and suggested that bump -out spaces be added along Kelley Parkway as well as a second access, which the applicant was not opposed to. Staff recommends the City Council direct Staff to draft a resolution of approval. Crosby asked what the top of the building is. Barnhart indicated it is approximately 38 feet high. Barnhart stated the defined height is a function of where the finished floor elevation is and the highest adjacent grade. The defined height of Stonebay is approximately 46 feet. Barnhart noted this project would also help meet the City's density requirements. Barnhart stated because the site is currently zoned office, that would not count towards the density requirements. Walsh asked how many of the units would count towards the City's density. Barnhart stated it is likely only 48 units would count because not all units contain a kitchen, which would eliminate the 22 memory care units. Walsh stated he likes the concept of the density but that he would like to get full credit for all the units. Walsh stated in his view the extra curb cut makes a lot of sense. Page 4 of 13
