MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br />Monday, August 21, 2017 <br />6:30 o'clock p.m. <br />Barnhart indicated it is vehicular access and it is already there. <br />Danberry asked if Jay White has any say in what goes on there. <br />Barnhart stated based on the easement he does not. <br />Danberry stated his understanding was his driveway was set up to turn the snowplows around from Ivy <br />Place. Danberry asked if there is an easement to do that. <br />Barnhart stated he is not aware of an easement for that but that there is an easement through Mr. White's <br />property to the point. <br />Danberry noted the street ends at Frenchie's house and from there it is all driveway. Danberry <br />commented it is not very thick asphalt down there and it will be torn up for sure. Danberry stated there <br />should be compensation to Jay by the developer. <br />Danberry asked if they can or cannot restrict the height or not. <br />Barnhart stated one lot is governed by a view easement, which is in favor of a private resident. Barnhart <br />stated the City would not enforce that but that there is an easement that restricts it to one story. <br />Chair Thiesse closed the public hearing at 7:52 p.m. <br />Barnhart noted one of the concerns expressed related to the average lakeshore setback and allowing these <br />properties to be built to the closer than what presumably would be allowed. Barnhart stated if Lot 1 is the <br />first one to be built, when Staff computes the average lakeshore setback, they would look at the adjacent <br />lakeshore lot to that property. Typically Staff would look at the property to each side of the proposed <br />house and draw a straight line between the most lakeward protrusions of each adjacent house. <br />Dampier commented that is not how it was calculated when he requested his building permit. <br />Page 9 of 19 <br />
