• <br />MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION <br />MEETING HELD ON SEPTEMBER 18, 1995 <br />( #3 - #2000 Cortlen Cloutier - Continued) <br />Peterson asked the applicant if there was a reason to leave the driveway going through <br />Lot 1. Cloutier said when the property was subdivided in 1962, outlot 1 provided ingress <br />and egress to lots 1, 2, 3, 4. When lot 2 (owned by Mr. Paurus) was sold, provision was <br />made for lot 2 to use outlot 1 up to the lot line. The applicant added that lot 4 has an <br />easement right to use outlot 1 as well as lots 1 and 3. Cloutier preferred that only Paurus <br />use the drive near his property in order to maintain privacy for all parties concerned. The <br />driveway through lot 1 is used to access Cloutier's lot 4 instead of the driveway through <br />Paurus' lot 2. Weckman said there was no easement for that driveway to come through to <br />lot 4. Cloutier said the driveway provides use as an alley to his residence and as the main <br />drive for delivery trucks and other large vehicles. <br />Peterson suggested closing the access from Frederick Street or have the applicant decide <br />between the Frederick Street access or the driveway through lot I . <br />Schroeder commented that any decision should be based on the possibility of a future <br />subdivision. If lot 3 were proposed as a separate lot, the road by lot 2 could be used for <br />access. The problem with that solution would be the use of 3 properties on one <br />substandard road. Weckman was concerned with lot 3 not having the 1/2 acre of land <br />. required with the structure. Schroeder said the resolution would need language to address <br />access for future subdivision. Gaff -on noted that lot width was also a potential issue for <br />splitting off Lot 3 in the future. <br />Cloutier said he had no plans at this time to subdivide lot 3. He did not wish to be cut off <br />from the thru road. <br />Hawn noted that emergency vehicles would have a difficult time accessing Cloutier's <br />property from Frederick Street. Hawn suggested extending the center road to the cul -de- <br />sac from Frederick Street. Topography was found to be a consideration with this <br />suggestion. It was further noted that this option would not solve the problem with cutting <br />lot 1 in half Weckman said if the 1/2 acre requirement could be met by relocating the <br />driveway on Lot 1, this would be an option. This would require new plans and <br />calculations. <br />
