Council Exhibit C MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING Monday, July 17, 2017 6:30 o'clock p.m. 5. 17-3945 PAUL VOGSTROM ON BEHALF OF WILLIAM AND SUE DUNKLEY, 2710 PENCE LANE AND 2709 WALTERS PORT LANE, SKETCH PLAN, 7:52 P.M. — 8:42 P.M. William and Sue Dunkley, Applicants, and Paul Vogstrom were present. Curtis stated this is a sketch plan review with the purpose of providing the applicant with comments and direction for a proposed preliminary plat to rearrange the property line between the two properties and create outlots and a new private road serving three homes. Currently there are three homes addressed off of Pence Lane, all served by a 12 -foot wide driveway. The first home is 2701 Pence Lane and has two curb cuts on the private road outlot at the north end. Pence Lane then extends through a gate just south of this home. After the gate, the driveway is extended serving two homes, 2715 Pence and 2710 Pence, which is owned by the Dunkleys. The Dunkleys also own the property at 2709 Walters Port, which is where their residence is located. The applicants submitted a survey dated June 28 and a site plan labeled proposed survey dated June 30 to illustrate their proposal. The plans do not coordinate so Staff used the June 28 survey for lot area and other reference information. The applicant is working on a coordinated plan. The Dunkleys wish to change the lot line between their Walters Port property and the 2710 Pence lot, increasing the lot size and lakeshore frontage for the Walters Port property and to change their access through the Pence Lane driveway. The addition of the third home, the Walters Port home, triggers the need to create a private road within an outlot for access. The need to create the private road, along with the applicants' requested variances for a lot line adjustment, requires a preliminary plat. According to the Code, a private code outlot must have a platted width of 50 feet and a minimum paved width of 24 feet with a 100 -foot diameter cul-de-sac at the end. Staff provided a number of issues for discussion in the Staff report. The Planning Commission should address each one and provide direction and guidance to the applicant tonight. Additional issues raised by the public or the Planning Commission should also be addressed. The goal of the review is to provide the applicant with an overview of the Code, city ordinances, and how they affect their proposed plan and to discuss the strengths and weaknesses of the proposal. The issues cited by Staff reveal a number of issues
