MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION <br /> MEETING HELD ON JANUARY 20, 1998 <br /> (#5 - #2330 Robert Beutler- Continued) <br /> Lindquist said the concern is the structure being easily turned back to a residence, and the <br /> City is trying to ensure that this does not occur. Vang noted that this has happened in the <br /> past. <br /> Smith informed Beutler that from a practical standpoint, the structure would be allowed a <br /> tap with some simple type of heating unit. <br /> Mr. Beutler said he would further discuss the matter with Council. <br /> Lindquist moved, Smith seconded, to approve Application#2330 based on renewal of an <br /> elapsed variance. Vote: Ayes 5, Nays 0. <br /> (#4) #2315 C. DOUGLAS AND MARILYN HOLCOMBE, 1040 AND 1056 <br /> LOMA LINDA AVENUE - Lot line rearrangement, and variances for lot area and <br /> lot width - 7:22-7:38 p.m. <br /> The Certificate of Mailing and Affidavit of Publication were noted. <br /> The Applicants were present. <br /> • Bressler distributed pictures of the property being proposed for a lot line rearrangement. <br /> The rearrangement would eliminate a problem where a portion of the driveway for 1040 <br /> Loma Linda is on property owned by 1056 Loma Linda. It would also provide 1056 <br /> Loma Linda with more lakeshore. The rearrangement would reduce the lot area and <br /> width for 1040 Loma Linda Avenue and 1056 Loma Linda Avenue would increase in size. <br /> Neither property meets the lot area and lot width requirements. While hardcover would <br /> increase slightly on 1040 Loma Linda, the percentage would actually decrease for 1056 <br /> Loma Linda Avenue due to additional lot area. The proposal would result in a more <br /> functional lot line. <br /> Van Zomeren informed the Planning Commission of a problem in the neighborhood due to <br /> differing opinions from surveyors regarding lot lines. This controversy may affect the <br /> property. Van Zomeren said the lot line rearrangement is an improvement of the existing <br /> situation and recommends approval. <br /> Lindquist asked who will decide which surveyor is correct. Gaffron said the six property <br /> owners affected will have to join together in a land registration proceeding to come to a <br /> conclusion. This is a long and expensive procedure. <br /> Lindquist questioned whether approval of this application would affect the problem. Vang <br /> 4110 said the setbacks may vary by as much as 18". Van Zomeren said the lot line <br /> rearrangement is internal to both lots so it can be conceptually approved. <br /> 7 <br />
