• MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING HELD ON JUNE 19, 1995 ( 0) #3031 BRUCE R KELLY AND IRMA J, KELLY, 2340 FOX STREET - PRELIMINARY SUBDIVISION - 8s30 -8!45 P.M. The Certificate of Mailing and Affidavit of Publication were noted. Mr. & Mrs. Kelly were present. The property in question is located at the intersection of Fox Street and Willow Drive in a RR B zone requiring 2 acre minimum lot size and 2 acres of contiguous dry buildable land. The applicants propose a shared access at the existing curb cut, which has been approved by the Engineer. Mabusth cautioned the owner that the driveway easement would have an impact on division of Lot 1 in the fixture. The area of the vehicular easement must be excluded from dry land area. It was noted that the top of the hill at the east side of the new lot was an acceptable location. Mabusth said there was a problem with the septic testing. The existing septic system serving residence is located on Lot 2 and would not meet current septic standards. Mabusth noted there appears to be no problem with the septic sites on the new lot, but Staff is unable to locate the sites because the septic diagrams are not to scale. They need to be redrawn to scale. Mabusth said new septic testing needs to be completed for developed lot and a preliminary survey. An additional 5' is needed to have 200' of lot • width to the rear of the 50' street setback. The Applicant said both lots were over 200' wide. Kelly did not understand that the easement area is deducted from the dry buildable. The reason for the subdivision is to build a retirement -type home on the other lot. Kelly said the lot line was not necessarily fixed, but he only wanted to make it easy and simple. Kelly understands that two new septics are needed and cited a report saying there is adequate space on both lots for mound systems. He does not understand the need for tabling the application. Rowlette commented that the survey identifies the property. Kelly had thought the survey was certified. Rowlette said she could not approve the application without 200' on Fox Street for the new lot. Mabusth said structures need to be located in the field and setbacks confirmed from a fixed lot line, and the locating of structures through topograpical mapping does not satisfy requirements of a preliminary plat. Schroeder said, although the Commission can not act on the application, direction can be given. Schroder noted that the septic seems to meet the requirements. Rowlette said caution was needed so as not to destroy a future subdivision. Peterson moved, Nolan seconded, to table Application #2031 for City review of the septic sites and for a survey pinpointing structures and wells. Ayes 7, Nays 0. •
