• <br />MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION <br />MEETING HELD ON SEPTEMBER 18, 1995 <br />( #18 - #2070 L E. Brueggeman Companies - Continued) <br />Gaffron questioned whether the driveway across the top portion of the property was <br />included in the calculations. Brueggeman said the parcel contained 49,680 s.f. He <br />eliminated the area within the 75' zone, netting 28,000. 25% of that figure equals 7000 <br />s.f and took off the driveway for a net amount of 4500 s.f. <br />Peterson questioned the ability of the property to have two homes on one lot. <br />Brueggeman said this is consistent with the homes in the neighborhood at this time which <br />average .7 to .8 acres with the largest at 1 -1 /2 acres. These two lots would be 1.0 acre <br />and .9 acre in size. <br />Rowlette said she saw this application as an opportunity to gain a 2 -acre lot in the 2 -acre <br />zoning district adding that as a single building site, it would be beautiful. The applicant's <br />concern is with property value and overbuilding for the homes in the neighborhood. <br />Peterson said he liked the proposal but questioned whether it should be two lots when it is <br />one to begin with. Lindquist noted that other lots built on were I acre in size. <br />Hawn asked if the adjacent homes in the neighborhood were connected to sewer. Gafiron <br />said sewer was available to all of the homes but not necessarily connected. <br />Hawn asked if any other lots were combined in the neighborhood. There was one other <br />lakeshore lot that was combined and is a 100' lot. The rest of the Lakeshore lots were <br />individual lots. <br />Brueggeman said this was an unusual case with 4 buildings on 3 lots adding that the <br />proposal would clean up the site. Peterson commented that the cabins have been directed <br />to be removed anyways regardless of the result of this proposal. <br />Gaffron noted that the property has existed as a non- conforming use. When the sewer <br />came available to the property, the non - conformity was brought to a head. Maeser is <br />looking at the options available. Gaffron added that the deadline of June 1995 for <br />connecting the house to sewer has yet to be dealt with. <br />Brueggeman said the rights of Maeser need to be considered by the Commission and <br />Council, which he felt has not been done. It is his desire to solve the problems. <br />Gaffron said the property is 3 separate tax parcels. In the sewered zone, it is required to <br />look at each separately as to their buildability. The current standards do not allow these <br />lots to be buildable. <br />31 <br />
