MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION <br />MEETING HELD ON MARCH 18, 1996 <br />( #10 - #2119 Barnett/Hilloway Sketch Plan Review - Continued) <br />It was determined that there was possibly not enough area for 6 lots if lots 1 thru 4 were <br />to be served by internal road. Mabusth noted that the slopes may also change the lot <br />configurations. <br />Berg said she has a problem with a single road. She would be in favor of the present <br />configuration, which she noted was opposite of what is normally done. Berg said she <br />would need to explore this issue further and would like to receive input from the County. <br />Lori Lundeen of Barnett asked what the purpose was for an internal road. Mabusth <br />explained that the purpose was to reduce the number of curb cuts from the county <br />roadways. Mabusth also noted the desire, in this particular case, to tie into the property to <br />the east. It was discussed whether a full road would be necessary or a driveway easement <br />for the property to the east. It was noted that the connecting property has the potential of <br />4 lots at 14 -112 acres for future subdivision. Gustafson added, if a roadway was not <br />possible, a driveway easement should be requested. Mabusth said Staff would like the <br />internal road but would also like to see acceptable lots. <br />Gronberg added that the slopes were an issue. Pfennig was concerned with erosion <br />problems of 8% slopes. Gustafson said there was potential for erosion, and this would <br />• need to be reviewed in order to slow down the drainage. <br />PLANNING COMMISSION COMMENTS <br />r� <br />( #11) OTHER ISSUES FOR DISCUSSION <br />Mabusth asked the Commissioners if they would like to consider having two meetings per <br />month when agendas become lengthy. Peterson will canvas the Commissioners and report <br />back to Mabusth. <br />Mayor Callahan informed the Commissioners that Staff has advertised to fill the vacancy <br />on the Planning Commission and is awaiting a response. <br />ADDITIONAL ITEMS <br />( #12) PLANNING COMMISSION APPROVAL OF MINUTES OF THE <br />FEBRUARY 20, 1996 MEETING <br />Peterson moved, Smith seconded, to approve the Minutes of the February 20, 1996 <br />Meeting of the Planning Commission.
