MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION <br /> MF,ETING HELD ON JANUARY 20, 1998 <br /> • (#21 - #2324 James Render- Continued) <br /> Staff sees both good and bad points to having a cul-de-sac. A cul-de-sac would meet <br /> code and not significant add to hardcover. A road could be developed if made private for <br /> maintenance control by the residents. Gronberg was asked what the best solution was, <br /> and he said that the owner is concerned with the use of the property by the public. The <br /> character of the neighborhood is also a concern. He felt Option A is a simpler plan with <br /> the three lots and a County road on one side. He felt there was a need for three lots. A <br /> shared driveway, however, is a possibility. <br /> McMillan was informed that Lot 1 exceeded hardcover limitations as drawn. The three <br /> lots would be limited and have similar homes. Gronberg said the owner understands that <br /> no variances are allowed. The plan is to leave the existing house on the property. <br /> Gaffron said if a cul-de-sac was built, it could be made smaller. The fire department <br /> would prefer this option for staging purposes. McMillan questioned how it could be made <br /> smaller, citing example of an island. An island would make it difficult to plow. <br /> Hawn asked what effect a shared driveway would have for the fire department. Gronberg <br /> asked whether an approved fire turn, or Y shape, could be used. Gaffron said the <br /> hardcover would be about half the amount as a cul-de-sac. <br /> • Schroeder asked Gaffron to review the fire turn or Y with the fire department. <br /> Smith said she would like to see all three driveways from a single driveway and submitted <br /> or review or with a variation of a cul-de-sac. <br /> (#22) #2329 BOB WAADE, HAVING AN INTEREST IN 3280 AND 3290 NORTH <br /> SHORE DRIVE- to develop townhouses in the LR-1C-1 District <br /> Robert and Iris Waade were present. <br /> Gaffi-on reported the sketch plan is for development of property directly east of Lakeside <br /> Marina, also known as the Straley property, which was owned for a time by the DNR for a <br /> possible access site. The proposal is to divide the property into two lots, each containing <br /> a duplex. The property is in the LR-1C-1 Zoning District and is within 200' of commercial <br /> zoning. This creates some options for the property with either duplexes or a PRD, <br /> attached units with a 3 unit per acre density. The sketch plan presented is for duplexes. <br /> This property has gone through several rezonings. The Shoreland regulations affect the <br /> property as a PRD requiring a tiering concept regarding the number of units on site, with <br /> less development, and located further back on the lot. The plan is for the duplex concept <br /> • and meeting code. <br /> 42 <br />
