MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION <br />MEETING HELD ON NOVEMBER 17, 1997 <br />( #7 - #2314 John Bessesen - Continued) <br />Stoddard moved but received no second to eliminate the language to allow duplex credit <br />to the zoning code. <br />McMillan suggested the issue be further reviewed before sending the recommendation to <br />the Council. <br />Lindquist said he voted against the motion as he is against spot zoning but supports the <br />plan itself. <br />The applicant was asked to research the background of Outlot A prior to the Council <br />Meeting on December 8. Bessesen will work with Van Zomeren to solve issues of <br />concern. <br />( #8) CITY OF ORONO - ZONING AMENDMENT - LAND ALTERATION <br />REGULATIONS AND PERMIT CRITERIA - 9:10 -9:12 P.M. <br />The Affidavit of Publication and Certificate of Mailing were noted. <br />Gappa reported that the zoning amendment is a housekeeping matter to streamline the <br />• current code. The code currently requires a conditional use permit for any land alteration <br />over 100 cubic yards. This creates a problem for what may be minor work. Staff has <br />concluded that a Staff permit process should take place and change the ordinance to <br />reflect the need for a CUP for land alteration over 500 cubic yards. <br />There were no public comments. <br />Lindquist moved, Berg seconded, to recommend approval of the Zoning Amending for <br />Land Alteration Regulations and Permit Criteria. Vote: Ayes 5, Nays 0. <br />PLANNING COMMISSION COMMENTS <br />( #9) REPORT BY PLANNING COMMISSION REPRESENTATIVES <br />ATTENDING COUNCIL MEETINGS OF OCTOBER 27, 1997 AND NOVEMBER <br />10, 1997 <br />No report was given. <br />( #10) OTHER ISSUES FOR DISCUSSION <br />The Planning Commission will meet on December 17, 1997 at 6:30 p.m. Items for <br />discussion will include tree preservation, home occupation, and review research regarding <br />prior variances. <br />16 <br />
