MINUTES OF THE ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING Monday, November 27, 2017 7:00 o'clock p.m. 7. #17-3970 — PAUL VOGSTROM ON BEHALF OF WILLIAM AND SUE DUNKLEY, 209 WALTERS PORTS LANE, VARIANCES — RESOLUTION NO. 6811— Continued Curtis stated if the applicants decide to create another lot, it will be an actual subdivision, with notice being given to the neighbors. Originally the applicants were attempting to move the lot line, which is a subdivision exemption, but it required variances and Council review. Walsh asked if the property will be replatted as one lot. Curtis indicated it will be one PID but that they are not abandoning the driveway off of Walters Port. The applicants do have the option to change their address to Pence Lane in the future if they choose to. Dankey asked if the new addition will cut off anyone's view of the lake. Curtis stated it is her belief it will not due to the configuration of the land in that area. Curtis pointed out the average lakeshore setback line is through the back of the lot and that she is not sure at this point what view the Keegans have over the Dunkley property. Curtis noted she did speak with Mrs. Keegan earlier in the day and that they are aware of the meeting tonight along with the Huellers. Crosby noted he will be recusing himself from voting on this application since the Dunkleys are a client at his place of employment. Dankey asked if the house is still on the other lot. Curtis indicated it was removed this summer. Crosby stated his only concern would be to keep the turnaround for emergency vehicles regardless of it being a Walters Port access or a Pence Lane access. Curtis stated the applicants have not finalized their internal driveway at this point. Barnhart stated that condition would need to be linked to the variance in some fashion and that those two roads are not proposed to be connected at this point. Curtis stated the applicants are proposing some type of reconfiguration and will be maintaining portions of the Pence Lane connection but the turnaround is the applicants' private driveway area. Dankey asked if the property could be subdivided at some point. Curtis indicated it can be since the property consists of four acres and it is in a 1 -acre zone. Printup moved, Dankey seconded, Application No. 17-3970, Paul Vogstrom on behalf of William and Sue Dunkley, 2709 Walters Port Lane, granting of variances to the 75 -foot lake setback, the average lakeshore setback, and hardcover in the 0-75 foot zone. VOTE: Ayes 3, Nays 0, Crosby Abstained. Page 8 of 12
