• ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES FOR SEPTEMBER 15, 1997 ( #2 - #2293 LGA Investment Group - Continued) Stoddard while noting what building is allowed making sense to minimize the number of lots, he does not see enough to substantiate changing the Comprehensive Plan or MUSA boundary. Hawn agreed with Stoddard. She indicating changing the MUSA boundary is against the purposes of the Comprehensive Plan. Smith agreed. She noted, however, that if the property is developed, drainage and runoff will have to be reviewed. McMillan also agreed. Berg indicated if the property was developed within the guidelines of the Comprehensive Plan, 13 lots could be considered but may not be prudent. She suggested the design be such as to not impact the area. Schroeder agreed. • Schroeder moved, Smith seconded, to deny the Comprehensive Plan revision/MUSA expansion aspect of Application #2293 based on the fact it does not meet the guidelines laid out in the Comprehensive Plan. Gaffron indicated there were two phases of the application. By making the above motion, another proposal may be submitted. Smith questioned whether it would be best to table the application. Gaffron disagreed unless there is a plan that would convince the Planning Commission that the Comprehensive Plan should be amended. Schroeder noted the problem with setting a precedent. Gaffron suggested taking action on the motion and tabling the subdivision portion of the request. Vote: Ayes 7, Nays 0. Lindquist moved, Smith seconded, to deny rezoning the property. Vote: Ayes 7, Nays 0. Lindquist moved, McMillan seconded, to table Application #2294 for street vacation and subdivision. Vote: Ayes 7, Nays 0. Lindquist noted there will be a request for an EIS in the future. Waters said an engineering study would be conducted and not an EIS for drainage. Berg suggested Waters speak with the neighbors. 13
