MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION <br />MEETING HELD ON SEPTEMBER 16, 1996 <br />• <br />( #5 - #2168 Todd and Donna Rooke - Continued) <br />Lindquist suggested the applicant work together with the neighbors and plat the driveway <br />area. <br />Gaffron inquired if there was an alley, but Mabusth said no alley was platted. Rooke did <br />note an alley named Highwood Lane linking Highwood Road with North Shore Drive to <br />the east. <br />Rooke commented that a road would increase the property value for the five homes that <br />would be affected. He also noted that there would be a loss of about 6 trees. <br />Hawn remarked on the positive aspect of off - street parking if such a road was possible. <br />Mabusth said a comprehensive survey would be required for a subdivision. She informed <br />Rooke that it would be an easier solution with a garage in the rear yard and added that all <br />of the hardcover could be located in 250' -500' setback area and not require variances. <br />Rooke inquired about the cost and was informed that it would involve a subdivision fee. <br />Lindquist told Rooke to call a surveyor. Rooke asked where the road would be located in <br />relation to the sewer. Mabusth informed him that the survey would have to relay that <br />information. <br />• <br />Mabusth informed t h e app li ca n t a n d Commission that t hi s application <br />would be heard at <br />the September 23 Council meeting if recommended for approval. <br />• <br />There were no public comments. <br />Hawn moved, McMillan seconded, to approve Application #2168 for a replacement deck <br />with hardcover remaining at 55% in the 75 -250' setback area.
