MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING HELD ON AUGUST 19, 1996 •( 92 - #2155 Nancy Krause and Dan Handlm - Continued) Gaffron reported that the application is a request for approval of a subdivision of a City - owned tax forfeit parcel. The parcel includes wetlands and once held a lift station. The applicants found that their driveway access is partially within this tax - forfeit parcel. The applicants went forward with their purchase of the property in spite of the encroachment after receiving conceptual approval from the Council for conveyance of a portion of the property to the County for resale to the property owner. The portion to be transferred is 20' wide and 100' deep. Gaffron reported that this would have no impact on the City's infrastructure and recommends approval. The applicants said it is their desire to own their driveway. They will be moving it slightly to stay within their new boundaries. Smith asked if there were any costs to the City. Gaffron said all costs would be at the applicants' expense. There were no public comments. Hawn moved, Smith seconded to recommend approval of Application #2155 per Staff recommendation to include conditions 1 and 2. Vote: Ayes 6, Nays 0. • 0 #2156 MICHAEL AND THERESA EASTMAN, 4520 WEST BRANCH ROAD AND LAKEVIEW GOLF COURSE, 405 NORTH ARM DRIVE - SUBDIVISION OF A LOT LINE REARRANGEMENT - (REGISTERED LAND SURVEY) - PUBLIC HEARING 7:50 -7 :54 P.M. The Affidavit of Publication and Certificate of Mailing were noted. The Eastmans were present. Gaffron reported that the application was a subdivision of a lot line rearrangement to allow for the Eastman's to acquire a portion of Lakeview Golf Course to accommodate a garage addition to the rear of the Eastman house, which requires a 50' setback. Lakeview Golf Course is in favor of selling the land and would suffer no negative impact. This proposal would add 7800 s.f. to the Eastman property. There is generally drainage across this portion of the land, but Gaffron said nothing suggests any need for a drainage easement as it can be channeled on the Golf Course property. Gaffron said Staff recommends approval as proposed. The applicant had no comments to add. • There were no public comments.
