y, <br /> MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION <br /> MEETING HELD ON FEBRUARY 17, 1998 <br /> S (t#h - Rnhart Wand,. - Cnntinipol <br /> Gaffron indicated that a lot not abutting lakeshore does not get lake access. Previous <br /> discussion had suggested applicant would like both properties to have docks. Gaffron <br /> recommended that no variance be allowed. <br /> The City and County park plans suggest a trail along North Shore Drive. There is enough <br /> right-of-way already provided to accommodate a trail. Park dedication fee is <br /> recommended. <br /> Gaffron suggested tabling the application until the pond and stormwater plans have been <br /> received. He recommended approval of the front/back lot layout. He noted hardcover <br /> zones have been recalculated. Gaffron reviewed the Staff recommendation as noted in the <br /> information packet, #1-9. <br /> Mr. Waade had no comments at this time. <br /> During public comments, Sam Marfield, 2455 North Shore Drive, indicated that a duplex <br /> in this area would be out-of-character. Jim DePietro, another resident of North Shore <br /> Drive, agreed. <br /> • David Dalvey, 3230 Bohns Point Lane, agreed with Marfield. He believes the <br /> neighborhood of nice homes should not include a duplex. He asked the purpose of the <br /> proposed duplex. Waade said the upscale units would be rental. Dalvey said he has had <br /> problems with other rental properties and submitted a letter requesting that the duplex not <br /> be rental property. Lindquist acknowledged receipt of the letter. <br /> Richard D. Allen, 3220 Bohns Point Lane, said he shares the opinion of Dalvey regarding <br /> a duplex. He does not feel a duplex is consistent with the neighborhood and would be <br /> squeezed in on the property. He is concerned with setting a precedent by allowing the <br /> building of a duplex on this property. <br /> Mr. Waade noted the property is next to a marina and felt the location was ideal for a <br /> duplex. He indicated the plan calls for an upscale design and be an improvement to the <br /> neighborhood. Waade said he would create a berm between his site and the marina. He <br /> did not believe buyers would want a big house next to a marina. <br /> Gaffron clarified the zoning for the public. He indicated the marina is in the B-2 <br /> Commercial District. The LR-1C-1, 1/2 acre, residential zoning allows for a duplex to be <br /> located within 200' of the commercial or marina area. To the east and south of North <br /> Shore Marina is one acre single family residential zoning. <br /> • <br />
