Chair Schroeder called the meeting to order at 7:00 p.m. SCHEDULED PUBLIC HEARINGS/PUBLIC INFORMATION MEETING ( #1) 7 :00 P.M. #2000 CORTLEN G. CLOUTIER, 2480 CASCO POINT ROAD - PRELIMINARY SUBDIVISION, CLASS I - PUBLIC HEARING 7:00 -7:53 P.M. The Certificate of Mailing and Affidavit of Publication were noted. The Applicant, Mr. Cloutier, was present. Mabusth reported that the application is for a division of legally combined lots 1, 3, 4, and outlot 1, which is a type 1 classification of subdivision. These lots were originally • combined for tax purposes. The applicant is asking for a division of Lot 1, which meets all requirements. The issue is access. The existing access will serve lot 1. The access currently serves the homestead parcel. The drive would be altered to only serve lot 1, and the homestead parcel (combined lots 3 and 4) will be served by existing drive at Frederick Street. When the land was subdivided, an outlot (20' wide) was created within the Tillson. Villa Carman subdivision. Lots 1-4 could gain access from the road outlot and lot 5 from Frederick Street. Today, lot 2 achieves access from outlot and combined lots 1, 3, and 4 from direct accesses at Casco Point Road and Frederick Street. At this time, Mabusth commented that it was important to determine what are the future plans for the lots; mainly, if there would be a future division of lots 3 and 4. The new lots must meet requirements of current code and provide approved legal access. There is adequate area to subdivide lots 1, 3, and 4. The required area for each lot will depend on whether the lot will achieve access via a private road or driveway outlot. Lot 1 has access from Casco Point Road from an existing approved curb cut. Lot 4 has an existing access from Frederick Street. The code states that only two lots can be served from a driveway outlot and that the back lot meet 150% of required area. The lines of existing sewer and water service to residence would need to be located and shown on survey. The location for the water connection for the original house is unknown. The sewer may come from Casco Point Road. There may be a need for an 40 easement depending on their locations. A municipal sewer line intersects lot 4 at the northwest corner. The City would ask for an easement over the sewer line.
